Hi ladies. I had my urine sample results back today asking me to provide another mid stream sample as mixed growth had been detected, anyone else had this?
Have read it can indicate urine infection which can lead to miscarriage or premature labour, have had no symptoms though of an infection x

 

[trixie79]

yeah beenthere done that....make sure you get an antibiotic it wont harm the baby...they will only give you a low grade one anyway....ive been on flagyl for months twice daily.....and had co amoxiclav at 11 weeks due to uti so dont worry....its worse if you dont take it!
just stay on top of them for the results.........

yeah me too, they asked me to supply another sample, and then when the results came back, put me on low dose antibiotics. don't worry hun x

I've been so excited lately, I cant believe we're half way! I am def feeling the baby now, mainly at night and when music is on funnily enough, but its def the baby. I cant wait for it to feel stronger and stronger so hubby can feel it. I keep dreaming about the baby too, I cant wait to see what it looks like!

Hey ladies..

I had my 16 weeks checkup.. all went good.. hb was about 148.. baby kicked the doppler too.. so cute.. next one is the fun 20 week us.. in a month.. oct 12th

 

[Tobaira]

yay for your 20 weeks dreamer!!!

that's cool about feeling the kicking Claire - I'm kind of looking forward to it, but at the same time a little nervous about feeling 8 limbs flailing around in there!

glad your 16 week checkup went well lilrojo!

just out of curiosity, are a lot of us going to be first time moms? This is my first time around.

 

[trixie79]

this will be the first one i get to take home! hopefully

 

[lilrojo]

This is my second baby.. I have a daughter who is 2.

 

[workingttc]

My first!

 

[_dreamer_]

it's my first too!

claire, yey for the movements, i'm loving it. think i've been feeling baby flipping or something as well as the kicks, feels a little like my stomach is turning like if you go over a bump in the road or a dip on a rollarcoaster. the kicks are lovely when they are small tobaira, but i can imagine with 2 as they get bigger and kicks get stronger will be quite intense lol.

glad your 16 week app went well lilrojo

are any UK ladies doing NCT? anyone else doing any private parenting/birthing type classes? my OH thinks its a lot of money (about £150) for what it is, i've heard really good things though, especially about the social side, meeting friends for life in a lot of cases...

 

[baby2310]

My first too x

Hi Everyone!!

So glad everyone's scans are going well! And I hope the time flys by for everyone! I keep feeling I am going to calm down once I hit this or that date, and then I just worry about the next thing Baby will be viable on saturday! Yay! My doctor said that the pregnant nurses who work in the NICU usually seem to calm down at about 28 weeks. He said once you hit about 28 weeks chances of everyone going well are really really good. Cant wait til we are all there!!

I did ask my doctor about getting a 3d ultrasound. He said he personally feels they are creepy as it looks like a baby in a coffin lol, but that they are just the same as other ultrasounds with different software and are totally safe. I admit they do look creepy, but I think I will get one anyway!

Sorry for anyone dealing with infections I am prone to UTIs so I am keeping an eye on things. So far so good, and it is probably good that I am on pelvic rest because that always seemed to cause them for me. Most people I know got at least one in pregnancy so I think they are really common.

Im still spotting, but it's been 3 weeks since I bled! Went to dr on Tuesday and everything good so far! My parents are celebrating their 50th anniv tomorrow so we've been very busy planning for that this weekend.

DH can actually feel the baby kick now!!!! He starting being it to feel it at about 22 weeks! This is our first too! It's so exciting to feel the kicks!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

 

[trixie79]

thats great stranje......i measured at 22 weeks at my last scan which i dont think is possible but ill take it!!!......so i must beone week exactly ahead of my scan....but at the 20 week scan she put me back 2 days to the 28th jan....

its prob a good thing cause i cant count down the days to 24 weeks...

im doing ok at the minute, only at work yesterday i could hardly walk so i have an apt today wit the midwife and doc abt having SPD .......my pubic bone really hurts....so i have to ask for lighter duties at work, meaning i cant do home calls and mums will have to come in2 me!!!so i took annual leave today and tue so im not back in2 wed! ahhhhhhh relaxing time!!!

 

[Claire1]

Hiya, this is my 1st as well!
Great news to all the ladies who can feel movement now....I absoultly love it. I can understand why it might feel daunting if you have twins...twice the movement!
Dreamer I know exactly what you mean, it feels like rolls and flips. Getting stronger every day.
Good news Stranjegirl about your spotting, I hope it gets better for you. I had a friend who bleed through her entire pregnacy and went on to have a healthy baby! Not long till "v" day!
Hope you feel better soon trixie. x

Hi ladies, hows everyone today? Good w/e's?

Have my 20 week scan in 68 hours, so excited to see baby again, make sure everything is ok and hopefully find out the gender!

How did the app go trix? Are you feeling any better?

x

 

[Tobaira]

yay your scan is coming up dreamer! I have a little under 4 hours until mine, very excited!

on a side note I found that my skin is a lot more sensitive right now. I made some salsa last night, same as last year with 3 anaheim peppers in it.. and apparently I should have used gloves. Yowzers! I totally burnt the tips of 4 fingers.. the pain comes and goes but when it's here it hurts really bad!! I didn't use gloves last year either and had no problems at all, but this year it's a different story.. I also ended up having to make second batch with only 1 pepper because the normal one tastes so hot I can't eat it My husband is loving it though, so at least I know it's good even if I can't taste it.

did I mention my scan is in less than 4 hours??!! yeah so I'm a bit excited. And I'm at 19 wks today, pretty much the halfway mark with twins.

hope everyone had a great weekend!!

 

[_dreamer_]

Hooray tobaira thats so exciting! are you hoping to find out second babies gender? congrats for hitting half way

ouch on the peppers!!!

 

[Tobaira]

yeah hopefully we can find out twin B's gender - and get another confirmation that twin A is a girl. Then we can get moving on the nursery and clothes and registering and all that good stuff. We already have names for any situation (unless the girl from last time turns into boy, we only have one boy name picked out).

 

[Tobaira]

So it's official -
we're having two little girls!!!!!

I'm kind of bummed though.. my mom and my sister wanted to know right away but they were both less than enthused when I told them. We have 4 girls on my side of the family so I know everyone was really hoping for at least one boy from us (and truth be told, I was kinda hoping for a boy too, we were going to name his middle name after my dad), but couldn't they have been a little more excited? DH's parents were so excited (they already have 2 of each so they didn't care). Anyways, I'm a little deflated after talking to them.

The scan went well although they were having temperature issues in the building.. halfway through the scan I was getting really hot so I went out to the hallway to cool off and literally almost passed out. I sat right down on the floor - I think I freaked out the nurse and the doctor when they walked out of another room and saw me there on the floor. But I didn't fall (course if I hadn't sat down I totally would have). I was able to cool off but wow.. I don't think I've ever come that close to passing out before!
