Hehe Bought this for DH for fathers day... well sort of for him! Bit of a crappy bump shot but loving the t shirt

 

[more babies]

Buttercup great scan pictures!!! I also had the tech write down the gender because DD2 was sick so DH couldn't go. I only had to wait maybe 20 minutes and that was tough! I don't know that I could stand to wait as long as you're going to! I hear you re the amount of scans I've gotten. As much as I hated to worry about my cervix it was so great getting a scan every two weeks for most of the pregnancy. I still can't believe I managed to stay off actual bed rest!

Love the shirt Noo!!! Looking good!!

 

[more babies]

Here's a couple pictures from my scan.. we got tons of face shots. They look kind of creepy because its 2D but def would have made for some perfect 3D shots. We had gotten a really good 3D of DD2 that the tech just decided to do for us because it was a newer thing but that's not going to happen this time. But we just sat there watching him moving all around and opening his mouth and we could see his tongue and everything. He also still always has his hand in his mouth. Can't wait to see how much bigger he's gotten 4 weeks from now!

Amazing scan pics Morebabies and Buttercup! Glad that everything is well with both of your bubs! Buttercup you do have a will of steel waiting that long to find out the sex, there is no way I could do it.

Also love the shirt Noo

Wow ladies you've all been chatty on here the last few days!

Baby 1 - hope all goes well for you tomorrow.

Buttercup - wow, how clear are those scan pics! When do you get to open the paper with the gender on?

More babies - look at your baby's little face!!

Toms - congrats on your little girl! I thought the previous scan pic looked girly!!

Noo - love the pram, it's beautiful! And a bargain!! Lovely bump pic too.

So jealous of you ladies who've been in france - I love france, especially Paris.

Anyone I've forgotten to comment on, sorry but I did have a lot to catch up on!!

AFM, I'm getting so close now. I'm 34 weeks on thurs so in three weeks and 3 days I'll be full term!! It's so exciting but also a bit scary.

 

[Toms Mummy]

Brilliant pics More Babies, the face one is quite creepy in 2D

Annio, I can't believe you're nearing the end! How are you feeling? x

 

[baby1wanted]

Well ladies - this is nowhere near as impressive as any of your scans but it means the world to me!
Gestational sac is measuring ahead of dates and good size yolk sac. As expected no baby / heartbeat to be seen as yet. But they've been very reassuring that so far everything is looking as it should do.
Back for another scan in 2 weeks where hopefully we'll see the heartbeat....

 

[more babies]

That's great baby1!!!!! That's right where I started off with my first scan and look where I am now!

Annio so exciting to be getting so close!! Are you getting anxious? Hope you've been feeling well!

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

Huge congrats Baby1, I am so happy for you

 

[Toms Mummy]

Aww, how lovely baby1

[baby1wanted]

Thanks ladies, am much calmer this evening than I have been in a few days!!

 

[annio84]

Good news baby 1! Glad you're feeling a bit better.

I'm feeling ok ladies. My hips are killing me but i think it's probaby about time I was stopping work as they're always worst after a shift. I'm not really anxious, except a little niggly feeling that I should be! I'm so laid back it's ridiculous but I have this nagging thought that it's maybe not hit me yet that I could have a baby so soon.

How's everyone else doing?

 

[Toms Mummy]

You sound very relaxed Annio, prob the best way to be! I remember finishing work at 36 weeks last time. It's trying to find a balance between having enough time off but not getting too bored, and then thinking about how much time you will have when baby is here if you take mat too early! x

 

[Toms Mummy]

So here's my 21 week bump! Getting bigger

[Buttercup2]

Toms, your bump is adorable!! Are strangers asking if you're preg??

 

[Mrs. Eddie]

Lovely bump Tom's!

Annio, I would listen to what your body is telling you. If you are feeling tired and achy it might be best to be off a bit earlier. I plan on working until almost right up to my due date but don't have a job that's physically strenuous and I really enjoy it. Plus, I have a feeling this LO is going to be late and I am the type of person that will go mad being at home waiting for her arrival. I also want to make sure that I spend as much of my mat leave as possible with her.

Yesterday was my 30 week midwife appointment and everything looked great. Am measuring right on schedule and baby is still head down, though now on the opposite side of my tummy. I figured she must have moved as she was quieter than normal for a couple of days and it seemed as though one of her feet was under my ribs. It seems now that she is moving her arms and legs a lot more now, I am definitely getting some good kicks.

We also finished our prenatal classes this Tuesday, can't believe that they're done already!

 

[baby1wanted]

Annio - you're a nurse right? Are you on the wards? It's a heavy job so it may well be that you need to think of finishing soon. I'm in physio and I know most of us tend to finish between 34-36 weeks. Toms right though - I think I'll push it until as far as possible to get as much time off once the baby's arrived - it's a bit of a dilemma!

Toms - you look amazing! That's a fab bump! If all goes well I'll be 21 weeks when we go to America on our hols, would be very happy if I looked like that when we went

Mrs Eddie glad everything's going well, you'll be full term before you know it!

I've still got some spotting coming and going - trying to relax about it. I'm trying to be the most realistic and say that if I am going to miscarry then I can't stop it - all I can do is look after myself really well in the hope that the pregnancy continues. I've stopped googling everything as for every good story you read there's a bad one and it actually isn't that helpful (she says after 5 days of doing nothing but that!).

 

[Toms Mummy]

Thanks girls! No one asking me yet! I was in work last weekend and none of the kids realised I was pregnant. The only person who did was a visiting parent who was a midwife But if you they know me then they can tell. I must be at that stage were people are too afraid to ask

Sounds like everything's going really smoothly Mrs Eddie! Glad baby is still head down! Is there much change of them changing position that far in now? Noo??

How ow have your antenatal classes been? Well worth it?

Baby1, I am soo jealous! I would love to go to US and Canada! Where abouts are you going? It'd be great to meet up with one of the ladies on here but the chances of being close to them are prob very slim

 

[kiki13]

Great bump toms mummy! I had my first doctor's appointment today and he did a transvaginal ultrasound to check how far along I am - I'm about 5 weeks 4 days along, instead of 7 weeks like I thought but we were still able to see the little bean and a tiny heartbeat! Awwww I'm so happy!
