Due Sept 2017

[Dani_b]

I'm sure this little one is starting to play games already, I felt what I thought was a little kick near the bottom of my bump, so I gently pressed where I felt it, and got another little kick back, this happened a few times in a row, until it stopped, so I'm guessing baby decided to move out of the way

I keep feeling the same Dani! As soon as I lay down in bed it happens, but I can't help but persume it's wind or something! I don't think I'll believe it's baby until I can see my stomach move..

I had to call the midwife this morning. I was up all last night with the most horrendous ache on my left side, at the back in my ribs! The whole way down my back pretty much. I was almost in tears yesterday it was so bad. She said where I've always been small framed it's where the muscles in my back are struggling with the weight gain. She warned me it's gonna get so much worse, we are in for such a treat eh!!

Me and my other half had the baby name conversation again. He doesn't like Jaden anymore.. he said he never really did but didn't want to disappoint me so tried to let it grow on him but it hasn't! Gutted. Back to the drawing board I guess

I've gone and booked a private gender scan, so I'll know Sunday afternoon if I'm team pink or blue

No not really, as long as all is well with baby then I'm happy

I finally remembered to schedule my anatomy scan. Only took me almost two weeks. I go in the 20th. We already did a pretty convincing private gender scan, but I'm looking forward to getting some confirmation.

I'm hoping we get a different tech than we always had my first pregnancy. She was nice enough but always turned the screen away and made serious faces and serious noises for what felt like an eternity before she would tell us how the baby was doing. The noises especially just made me so nervous. She really didn't like telling the sex, either, in case it was wrong, which was part of why we went private again. DH's day off has changed so maybe we'll luck out.

Called to make my anatomy scan appointment today. The nurse said I have to have it done at the hospital because I'm "advanced maternal age". Bug off. Thanks a lot.

Good luck to all those who have scans coming up! Tess are you hoping for a boy?

No I'm actually hoping slightly more for another girl! But I'll be just as happy with a boy as long as he is healthy. This will be my last baby because I really can't face being pregnant again lol and I would love to give my little girl a sister who can be her best friend as they grow up but like I said, I will honestly be happy as long as it's healthy. My husband on the other hand is desperate for a boy lol! So one of us will get what we are hoping for x

Sisters are the best when they are older but a nightmare as kids both me and my sister, and my mum and her sister get on so so well now as adults, but as kids we hated eachother!! The hair pulling and fights were horrendous!! But all is forgiven now we are adults haha!!

Despite this if we decide to have another I want another girl

Oh really haha!! That's not so good. What's the age difference between u and your sister? There's just over 2 years between me and my sister and we have always been really close. She's my best friend. We have a wee blip at about ages 15 and 13 for a year or so but apart from that we have always been like 2 peas in a pod! I know that doesnt necessarily mean my kids would be like that if this is another girl but I like the idea of it lol. My daughter is so affectionate and loving so the only way I could see them not being close is if the next one is a nightmare haha! X

 

[kittykat7210]

There's just over two years between me and my sister! Like I said we are really close now, and so is my mum and her sister (but there is 8 years between them) they meet up atleast once a week! I think you were lucky with you and your sister because every lot of sisters I know got on when really young then hated eachother from like 6-16 then got on again

 

[Savasanna]

My sister and I fought when we were kids too. Turns out she couldn't stand me but I always liked her (she's older). There was one day where we were talking about being kids and she made mention about how we used to hate each other and I was like "WHaaaa?! News to me!" haha.

We were just SUCH different people, I think it was difficult for us to connect. We really didn't share many of the same interests at all. We're close now but I wouldn't say we're best friends. But we do text all the time and I enjoy spending time with her. We're still quite different so we disagree on a lot of things - but she's my sister and so that's that. I love the sibling relationship for that. I think it taught me a lot about forgiveness and letting go of useless grudges.

 

[Babybump2017]

I'm a twin, me and my sister are almost the same person we are so close I have no idea what I'd ever do without her. So I totally get what you guys are saying sisters growing up together is a blessing.

Random .. but is anyone else feeling the baby when laying down mainly? I am feeling flops low down when at my desk sometimes but not often, however it seems the second I lay flat in bed I feel those little kicks almost constantly!

It absolutely is a blessing eh I think 2 brothers growing up are the same! Always have each other's backs.

Yep defo! I feel the wee flips in work sometimes then a lot more at night when I'm lying down. I haven't felt actual kicks yet but the rolling about is so nice to feel x

 

[Savasanna]

Oh! I think I felt the baby for the first time last night! I mean, it wasn't actually the first time.. but it was the first time where I realized it was the baby while it was happening. So exciting

 

[Babybump2017]

Sooo exciting!!! So just after I posted earlier, I hadn't even clicked off this page (was laying on my back at the time) and I felt the first proper noticeable kick AND witnessed my stomach jolt both times he kicked I couldn't stop smiling for about half hour! Best thing ever

 

[Savasanna]

So cool babybump!! I felt flutters for about 15 minutes straight, but haven't felt a noticeable kick yet. How exciting!
