it won't let me type Re ta rd ation lol.

Yes i'm hoping she's a dainty girl too, my last daughter was not remotely dainty and still isn't lol, she had a big head with very wide cheekbones which got stuck, ouch!

Yay gypsy can't wait for your update what time is your scan tomorrow? x

I was wondering why you had put stars instead of letters, was trying to think of a rude word that ended in 'ation' but I couldnt, and thought it a bit odd they would have a medical condition with a swear word in it anyway! lol

I know its funny isn't it? I should hope nobody would be calling anyone else that word on here anyway lol. Funny though coz I've seen the "F" word used on here quite a bit. Not in this thread obviously, but defo on second tri board.

What joy, I can feel the dreaded heartburn welling up again lol x

Thanks scan is at 2pm today, can't wait! I've been awake since about 5am this morning with excitement. I'm going shopping with my mum straight after for blue or pink clothes as Steven has to go back to work. I'm praying baby is cooperative!

Yeah I was trying to figure out the stars thing too. I would hope that people don't use that word on a pregnancy forum but I suppose you do get some trolls on here who have nothing better to do with their time.

Leanne - I don't think I've ever had a stomach as flat as hers even before I was pregnant one of our managers at work is 5 days behind me in her pregnancy and she's about the same size as the girl in the pic. I feel huge in comparison!

 

[minidancer]

Aw Leanne sorry you were feeling rubbish on Christmas day. That's lovely about the present!

Debbie I think Dolcey brooks sounds awesome, lovely name!!

Moggi, that's good they are scanning you regularly just to keep track. It will out your mind at ease. Woohoo for Isobelle still being an Isobelle!! I wouldn't really trust the measurements from scans anyway. Last time my bump was measuring a few weeks ahead so had growth scans at 35 and 37 weeks. The 37 week scan came back saying she was 8 and a half pounds!! I was due to see the consultant again a couple of days before my due date and he said if I made it to then he woul book me in for a section as she would be near 10 pounds and I am really small framed!! I had her at 38+5 and she weighed 7lb 11.

Good luck for today gypsy, can't wait for an update!! xxx

 

[moggi]

Gypsy good luck, I hope you have a cooperative baby today and I can't wait to hear the outcome x

 

[moggi]

Mini yes I'm relieved she is still Isobelle lol. Can't believe she'd changed so much since the gender scan! Got to wait for my appointment to come through the post for next scan as i was at hospital for so long yesterday all the clerical staff had gone home. Been reading about our again apparently the r now stands for restriction, it was over 18 years since I had anything to do with it lol. I'm sure she'll be ok, its the hospital being 'extra' as my kids would say lol.

 

[minidancer]

I know it's amazing how much they change in such a short space of time. I can never believe the difference from 9 weeks to 12. At 9 weeks all we saw was a blob and at 12 a proper baby!!

Yes it's good they are being cautious and a bonus since you will see little Isobelle every few weeks!!

I can't believe we are all almost half way there already!! Soon we will e counting down to due dates!!

I got letter for 22 weeks midwife app it's on 9th january. Oh and I can't believe I forgot to tell you, been feeling kicks on outside for just over a week and hubby felt one on Christmas night!!

 

[moggi]

awww thats brill, mark keeps sticking his hand on my bump hoping for something but nothing yet lol. Found out yesterday placenta is anterior so not sure if that has anything to do with it? XxX

 

[minidancer]

Yeah I think having the placenta at the front muffles any kicks until they're a but bigger. I have no idea where my placenta is she isn't tell me so I'm assuming it's at the back. I'm sure he will feel a kick soon, I think from 20 weeks onwards is normal to feel from the outside xxx

[minidancer]

Yeah I say boy too!!

That's great you finally heard the heartbeat Leanne!! When is your scan again? Xx

 

[meganOUFC]

Oh what fabulous news it's funny because Chloe felt the baby kick on
Christmas day too!!! Connor was very jelous!

Good luck today, thinking of u xxxx

 

[meganOUFC]

Aw that's lovely, I felt baby kick my hand for the first time yesterday at exactly 20 weeks. It done it twice but as soon as Steven touched it it stopped! He wasn't very happy

Everyone seems to be voting boy for me except my mum and SIL, can't wait now, today is seriously dragging! I feel much more relaxed for this scan as I was convinced at my 12 week one that baby wouldn't be there for some reason but it wriggles quite regularly now and seems to get stronger every day so I'm pretty sure it's fine.

Hmm I don't get a 22 week midwife appointment. She booked my next appointment in for 2nd Feb when I'll be 25 weeks.

Got to say as much as I'm loving all the good bits of pregnancy, the bad bits are really starting to kick in now too! Had to go to docs this morning as I can't go to the loo, I have thrush, really bad heartburn and can't sleep at all I feel like a walking medicine cabinet at the minute.

Not long now gypsy-woohoo!!! I'm so excited to hear!! Oh and fab news about feeling a kick yesterday!!

I think everywhere is different with when you get appointments as I didn't get a 16 week one. Maybe Scotland is different. Oh I know the bad bits of pregnancy can be horrendous!! Hopefully what the doctor has given you will help!

Fab bump Leanne, it's really growing!! Soon we won't be able to put our socks on ha ha. For me the different bump means different gender is true. My bump this time is much lower. Last time my bump started right under my boobs do I couldn't wear an underwire bra or it would dig in. This time underwire isn't bothering as bump starts a good couple of inches below my boobs!
