Hi everyone! Congrats on the new boys to the group!! We found out today it is a girl! It's a bit hard for us to imagine, as we have imagined a boy for months now, and been calling the baby "he" etc, but I think it should sink in soon!! I think my MIL will be ecstatic as she has 4 boys and a grandson! We were so relieved to hear that everything looked great and baby was measuring on schedule! I guess my placenta is close to my cervix, and he thinks it is possible that this may cause the bleeding I've had. Unfortunately everything is always a possibility and not a fact. I wish I could just know what was causing it so I could know if it will affect the pregnancy. He didn't seem too concerned about the placenta, said it will probably move up and wants to scan me again in about 5 weeks. He didn't mention anything but from what I've read if it doesnt move up it means c-section. I don't mind as long as baby comes out healthy.

Awesome cake tobaira! And so glad your heartburn has subsided!! I'm still paranoid of leg cramps as my leg is still sore from the one 3 nights ago.

Hope everyone is feeling good!!

 

[StranjeGirl]

[trixie79]

[_dreamer_]

congrats on your baby girl stranj!!!!! as trix said, the shock will subside. when you've been told its one sex, and then its not, i guess you mourn a little for the son you thought you were having. but you get will used to the fact that you've got a little daughter!

thanks for updating the first page trix

and your scan pic is so cute! i'm so sorry for what you've been through, and xmas eve...that must have been even harder.

Only just got internet back as have moved house this week!
Went for scan yesterday and measuring 11 weeks today. Was so great to see baby, just a shame that we were rushed through the scan, like we were on a conveyor belt.
Didn't really give you time to take everything in.
Got to go back 20th Sept for my official dating scan but due date is now moved to 28th March.
Hope everyone else is well x

 

[trixie79]

ah look at your wee baby.....so cute!

 

[Tobaira]

Sorry to hear about the conveyor belt baby.. hope your scan on the 20th is more enjoyable. Not too far off. I'm counting the days until the 19th when I go in next.

I had my first experience with round ligament pain yesterday. and it was not fun!!! Every time I stood up I had tons of pain in the groin/hip area. It was fine when I was seated or laying down but standing up just wasn't happening. And I didn't have my computer home with me for work so I ended up having to take a sick day. I guess I really should bring it home with me every night just in case, but it's kind of heavy to lug back and forth. Maybe I need one of those rolling laptop carriers!!

Anyways, hope all you gals are doing well. Time definitely seems to be moving faster then it was in the beginning. Trying to get some stuff done around the house so we don't have to do it later. Looking forward to knowing both genders so we can work on putting the nursery together, although it may not make a difference since my idea is kind of gender neutral (a light yellow/orangish color on the walls with framed pictures of baby dragons). Probably will throw in some more fairy stuff if there are two girls though.

 

[baby2310]

Thanks ladies, hopefully will be better next time. Baby is currently 4cm so the scan picture looks practically to scale am on x

 

[StranjeGirl]

Sorry about your scan being so quick baby Hope the next one will be better.

That's too bad about the round ligament pain tobaira. I assume you probably have it worse with twins? Lots of stretching! I have had it, but it only lasts for a few seconds when I stand up too quickly. I still get menstrual like cramps though. My constipation has picked up again I really think my bleeding has a lot to do with constipation but it seems that nothing I can do can keep my regular. I started having orange pink spotting this morning, which happens sometimes before a bleed, so I am dreading the next few days. Oh well, once this is all over I will forget all about the stress it has caused.

How is everyone else doing? I'm thinking of getting a 3d ultrasound done. I thought my 22 week scan where they check the baby for everything was going to be that, but it wasn't. THey gave me a video of it, but honestly I could be looking at my liver for all I can tell. Are those 3d ultrasounds safe to do? I have another scan with my doctor tuesday so I guess I should probably ask him before doing anything.

Hope you all are well!!

 

[_dreamer_]

hi ladies, did you all have nice weekends?

stranje - we are thinking of getting a 3d ultrasound too. im not very knowledgable but as far as i do know, i dont think they are any different to regular scans in terms of safety. how has the spotting been? better i hope

and hows the round ligament pain tobaira? hope you arent suffering too much x

 

[trixie79]

hi girls i had a lovely weekend and have a day off today so im still in my pjs!!! i dont plan on getting out off them!

tobaira i had that ligment pain with the triplets and omg it hurt! but be assured if you go on to get preg again there is hardly any pain as your already stretched!!!

we decided not to get a 3d scan as im getting scanned all the time and the pics are very clear.....back in 2morrow to see doc.....will be getting steriods soon.

only another 3 and half weeks to go and i can start to relax!!!

 

[lilrojo]

Trixie-fxed the next 3 1/2 weeks fly by..

 

[_dreamer_]

yeah i hope they go really quickly for you too trix. good that you are getting frequent scans though, must be good to know they are keeping a good eye on everything.

1 week and 3 days until my 20 week scan can't wait to see our little one again! x

 

[Claire1]

Hi Ladies, glad to hear everyone is doing ok. Hope the time goes quickley for you Trixie.
I have toyed with the idea of having a 3d scan, but decided againts it. Though I would love to see little ones face close up.
I had my 20 week scan today, all was well and we managed to avoid finding out the sex....eeek sooooo tempting though!!!
I had a much better experiance this time, the lady was lovely and I didnt feel rushed at all. In fact I was worried we were holding people up...the lady didnt seem to mind though.
Ive no real complaints at the moment other then slight backache and dizziness due to low bp. Hope it continues to go as well for all of us!!
Half way...blimmey!! x

 

[Tobaira]

yay dreamer! I'm down to 1 week until my next scan.. I do appreciate that time has begun to go by a little faster than it did at the beginning. We picked out paint samples yesterday to try on the walls - very excited about putting the nursery together.

The pain has eased up a lot since that one day. I'm still getting it occasionally but nowhere near as bad or for as long. Had a bit of a scare yesterday, I was diagnosed with a movement disorder 7 years ago or so (I occasionally have episodes where my arms or neck with spasm and twist uncontrollably), but had been able to come off all the medications 18 mos ago almost without incident (had one minor one last fall when I had pneumonia). But I had a brief episode yesterday which kind of freaked me out. Luckily it didn't last too long and I did have a little warning that it was coming (I was sitting down eating and got dizzy with an odd feeling in my head - it's almost like what people say they get before migraines). I was hoping not to have any during the pregnancy though, hopefully that will be the first and last!

I am pretty tired today. Canned two pints of tomato sauce last night - it better taste darn good because it took like 4 hours lol!!! I didn't realize how long it would take, I've only done pickles in the past and they are super easy and fast.. these.. not so much. I told dh he gets to do the pickles since he got wrapped up in a computer game and didn't help out at all!

 

[workingttc]

Hi ladies!

Good news about your scan, Claire. I'm sure I'm going to have the same temptation to find out the sex when we get there! Hopefully it won't just be on display!

Tobaira, that does sound like a scare. FX'd it won't happen again!

Trixie, so hopeful that these few weeks fly by for you. I'm glad to hear you're getting lots of monitoring. That must help a lot.

Stranj, I don't think that the 3D scans are any more dangerous than any other type (which is to say not at all), but I don't know for sure. I definitely want to get one.

As for me, time is till moving waaaay too slowly. I'm really anxious for my 15 week appointment (have them every 4 weeks). I have a friend who lost her baby at that point, so I think once I make it past that, I'll feel a lot more secure. I'm such a worrywort, honestly. I had a pretty bad bloody nose also this weekend. Has anyone had those?? My "What to Expect When You're Expecting" says they are pregnancy related and nothing to worry about if the bleeding stops within 15 minutes, but still, kind of scary!!

 

[Tobaira]

I've had some minor bleeding in my nose - and I have heard that it's really normal. It is kind of weird, especially since I've never had a bloody nose in my life lol..

yeah time sped up for me after my 15 wk appointment, so hopefully it will be the same for you =)

heh - I just realized I'm a sweet potato! the picture looks kinda funny though

 

[lilrojo]
