December Rainbow Babies!!! Congrats New Mom scoobydrlp PINK!

[crancherry]

Congrats Donna, Krippy and Nitengale!! Such wonderful news all around

Last night OH told me he doesn't want to go to the sonogram appt. a week from Monday I don't know if he means it but he's really nervous about his reaction. He really wants a little girl and I think he's afraid how he will feel if it's a boy (as we have two boys and this will be our last baby). I am sure it will all be fine in the long run but the thought of going without him breaks my heart I want to be supportive of his feelings, but honestly I am freaking out about seeing everything the right size and healthy at this point, regardless of gender.

Our last baby, I was just convinced it was a girl and cried when I was told it was another boy, so I know where he's coming from. But I got over it quickly - our boys are so wonderful. I wouldn't trade them for the world and feel so blessed to be able to even carry a third baby since our losses...

Just when everything is looking up, along comes a surprise "down"...

 

[Nitengale]

Justkeep: that is so exciting isn't it!!

Crancherry: I will keep you and OH in my prayers. I totally understanding you wanting him there with you. It does make you nervous but I am sure you have nothing to worry about. Hopefully he changes his mind!

Lala: hope you feel better.

Hope the rest of you are well!

crancherry.
I am sure he will come round. Maybe he is worried he will upset you with his reaction. I am sure he will love the baby either way - pink or blue!!

Hello everyone, not been on for agaes, just spend some time catching up with you all

Juskeeptryin - I started feeling bubble like sensations at work on Friday, then slowly over the weekend they have been getting stronger. OH felt my tummy yesterday and actually felt Harvey move, yay!!!! So exciting How about u? Are they getting stronger yet?

Lala - Sending you big hugs, hope your feeling better soon

Crancherry - Hope you get things sorted with your OH, maybe you should tell him how scared and nervous you are feeling he might change his mind. If he still feels that way coudl you maybe take your Mum?

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Kate, its the weirdest sensation isnt it. I've been feeling it stronger yesterday and today aswell. I held my hand on my stomach this morning and felt two kicks from the outside, my husband is depserate to feel it too but hasnt as yet!
I keep wishing the next two weeks away, Im desperate to get to 24 weeks when I know this baby is viable, psychologically I'll feel much better then!

 

[LalaR]

Thanks for the get well wishes - the manipulation by the physio on Friday has really helped and I have had heaps less pain today. Hoping if I behave it will stay away. No-one told me that you should not sit with your feet up to the side on the sofa as a twisted pelvis is bad!!

Glad everyone is doing well. I can't wait to feel a proper kick. 11 days to my anomaly scan now.

I will be offline for the next week or so as we are off south to stay with my in-laws and visit the olympics. Good luck to any of you who have scans etc this week.

 

[grenouille]

Lala, no one told me that either! I was sitting like that for a good part of the evening yesterday and probably friday as well, and today I had hip pain!

I guess it makes sense. Going to be more careful now.. (I went to the beach and swimming made me feel a lot better!)

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Glad the pain has eased up Lala, enjoy your time at your relatives and your visit to the Olympics, I imagine its a great atmosphere there!

Justkeeptryin - I know exactly what you mean, 24 weeks is a real turning point. I feel so close and yet so far from that time!

Our pushchair arrived at the weekend, it was great getting it all set up, I still can't believe I'll be putting a baby in it in December.

So glad lots of you are feeling movement. I feel my little girl every day but still don't feel her from the outside. Hubby definitely can't and I wonder if he ever will?

Ohhh how exciting, what one did you go for?

We chose the Maxi-Cosi Elea Pushchair in black, which we ordered from Mothercare. It's part of a travel system and will match the Maxi-Cosi car seat we want to get so we can clip her car seat on if she's asleep. It has all the things I wanted (ability to have baby flat, forward facing or parent facing) plus a lovely baby nest to keep newborn warm. With the nest and the chair flat it looks like a pram too which is an added bonus for when the LO is tiny

 

[scoobydrlp]

Hey everyone! Been away for ages, but wanted to report that we found out we're team today! Also I've all of a sudden been feeling loads of movement starting just yesterday, it's so crazy! Hope everyone is well

Yay huge congrats Scoobydrip !!

 

[grenouille]

Congrats Scooby!!

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Great news Scooby! Its a weird sensation when you start feeling the movement. Im loving it and find it more real now!

 

[Nitengale]

Yea I agree, movement does make it feel so real. Forgot to tell you guys I found out at the ultrasound that I also have an anterior placenta, does that mean almost all of us on this thread do??

 

[love1623]

Nitengale I dont have an anterior placenta mine is posterior but I do have a low lying placenta which I got put on pelvic rest for no BDing for me... but doctor said 90% of women with low lying placenta it will usually move up as the uterus gets bigger.. but i gotta have more ultrasounds later on to keep a look at it.. if it dont move I may need a c section ahhhh.. hopefully it moves

does anyone else have low lying placenta??

 

[Justkeeptryin]

Hi Love, Im sure that Katestar has a low lying placenta too.
I think the majority of us on here do seem to have anterior placentas which is strange, it obviously is very common.
Mines is anterior but not low according to my notes.

 

[love1623]

Crazy all the things that go along with pregnancy that I had no idea about before.. But now the more I watch baby story on TV i see women with all these same stories... I am absolutely obsessed with pregnancy shows now that Im pregnant Ha ha my husband makes fun of me for watching them so much...

Kate - did you get diagnosed with a low lying placenta as well? I do think I remember you mentioning that...

 

[love1623]

Thanks justkeep..

I know anterior is very common as well
