End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

[OmiOmen]

It would seem my children have ridiculously large heads! My son was born on the 25th centile but had a really massive head, luckily he quickly caught up with it. I think the breach position and possibly my build just makes it easier to feel and see where the head is though. Judging by my movement I think he spends most of his time with his bum to the bottom left of of bump and his legs near the bottom right but I'm not 100% sure on that because I can only really feel where his head is at the moment.

haha I'm terrified mine will have a big head, dh head looks kinda big to me lol. drs never told me what percentile baby was in and I don't want to know

my baby is in same position as yours omni. most of my kicks are lower right!

 

[OmiOmen]

DH is big, all his family are born at about 10lbs but my body was not going to grow a baby that big so his head grew and the rest of him had to catch up after he was born. I was a bit worried when I saw his head was so massive and his body was small to start with though. I think DS2 is going to be a lot bigger that DS1 was but not as big as DH was...of course that is just a guess.

 

[babyface15]

well good luck hun, I'm sure your body will grow a baby no bigger than you can handle! will you have any more scans?

 

[OmiOmen]

If all goes well I just have the presentation and size scan on the 1st of May which I think will make me about 36 weeks, I need the okay on the positioning and size for a VBAC. If he is breach then I'm not sure they will consider a ECV for a VBAC.

 

[Zfbaby]

Aww my dh has a big head too. That was the first thing my mil said to me when we met.
I'm scared to death lo will be like his dad but thought as I'm only 5,2 I'd be ok. When I said that to Mw she laughed at me
Think baby has his head on my right and feet in the left and upside down as he keeps hitting me in the cervix. Lovely not sure how but think he's also pushing up as there is so much pressure behind my belly button, if tht makes sense.

 

[OmiOmen]

I'm 5'5" but people, particularly my in-laws, make me feel like I am tiny because DH is so tall. DS1 takes after my husband in height but is more slim/muscular like me and I can't help but think DS2 will probably be the same. I can't help but think that I'm all stretched out from last time so might end up with a slightly bigger baby this time though.

I have a fairly short torso though so he is feeling surprisingly high up now and my lungs are feeling a bit squashed when I lay down. This whole pregnancy has felt a few weeks further along than I am even though I know that is not the case. Although maybe I am just comparing this to how I felt last time too much.

 

[babyface15]

what's an ecv? if I do end up needing a c section due to the low placenta I'll definitely be hoping for a vbac too!!
I haven't had any belly button pain even though my belly button is pretty much inside out

 

[charbaby]

It's my daughters 5th Birthday today and she has to go to school, she's not impressed 1 bit lol. x

 

[OmiOmen]

A ECV is when they try and turn the baby around, I couldn't have one last time because of the other issues. He had a 15 minute wiggle about last night and I'm not sure where he is now. I think his head it still at the top but in the centre but I can not feel it as clearly. He must have moved out of breach for a bit last night though because I find it oddly uncomfortable.

I hope she has a nice day Char.

Ruby all ready for school on her birthday

 

[CLH_X3]

Aww bless her ...

I have my scan on Sunday, woo! My mum an my partners mum is coming to

 

[pebbie1]

Happy birthday Ruby!

Baby is wriggling loads, but it's really high up and I get kicks mostly in my left side so I think it's sort of head down already. I think the odd twinge I get in my bladder is baby head butting me hahahaha.
I'm seeig the consultant again on Tuesday. Keep forgetting about it though.
Like I keep forgetting everything else!! Massive baby brain here. I'm meeting hubby for lunch today and all week I kept forgetting which was kind of nice as I get excited all over again everytime I remembered hhahaha!

Going to the dentist first later. Will be Marielle's first ever appointment so wonder how that goes hahahahah
X

 

[CLH_X3]

I think my little one is also head down most the time, I feel most kicks up high!

I have a midwife app on Monday! Woop first one since 16 weeks!

So I was also wondering how much weight people have gained again ? EVERY time I get on the scales it just goes up up up!

Iv now put on 1 stone 12lbs !!! So 26lbs .... My face looks fatter to!

 

[charbaby]

I feel most of my kicks up high but to the right so thinking she may be head down also.
CLH I did so well at first putting on just a few pound but weighed my self last night and I have gained 1 stone 9lb so far dreading how big I will be at the end!

Thanks for Ruby's birthday wishes everyone xx

 

[passion4shoes]

Em. I am off to the gym and swimming tonight so will weigh myself then.

I think bubba is breech, all my kicks are really low on my bladder. Every morning baby is transverse (same as oblique?). I still seem to have plenty of room though .

Need to get a birthing ball to sit on rather than lounging back on the bean bag. I do not want a back to back baby! Ouch.

Happy birthday ruby!

What months are everybody's other children's birthdays? My DS is April.

 

[babyface15]

happy birthday ruby sweetheart

clh you must be so excited for the scan! mines on Monday. i've gained about 25 so far. my gain was really rapid in the early months but is slowing a bit now. I have some face fat going on too

is there anything I should be doing to get baby head down? our do they just figure that put on their own

work delayed opening until 11.due to the weather, so I got to sleep in 2 extra hours

 

[babyface15]

how do you tell the baby is kicking your bladder passion?

I dont think there is much you can do but hope they go the right way, I may be completely wrong about baby's position myself lol just guessing by the way I feel movement x

 

[OmiOmen]

My son's birthday is in early May so I hopefully DS2 will not arrive a little early. May is a bad month for birthdays for us; we have my MIL's on the 3rd, my grand-MIL's and DS1's on the 4th and if I don't go overdue DS2 will be born in May too.

Babyface, you don't really need to worry too much about turning them at this point. I am only worried because I feel like it is exactly like it was with DS1 and am stressing out a bit more than I need to about it.

We bought a few more cloths last night online. So far all the clothes we have bought and half the nappies were on sale.
