Hey Lou,

How do you know so early you're team pink?

I don't know that I am -it is mine and hubby's guess so technically team yellow but if I had to guess would be pink.

Exciting to have lots of new names on this thread!!!!

Hope pilot is doing ok?! MrsC how are you? Did you have a good weekend?

Bubbles82 where aborts in Yorkshire are you?

Only 4 weeks left at work for me now - will be sooooo glad to finish as I am exhausted and I am sure this baby has dropped so getting some pelvic pain now - which is not fun!! Just hope she stays in there until I get to 38 weeks!! Really don't want to go into labour whilst at work! Baby stuff is all washed, ready and in place and I have my baby shower on Saturday - so excited for that!!!

Hope everyone has a good week!!

xx

 

[bubbles82]

Joey - I'm in Harrogate, so about half an hour down the road from you in Leeds!

How exciting to be nearly done at work, seems a long way for me yet as I haven't even told work I'm pregnant. Hope baby stays put for you.


Just got back from my first scan, I was seriously expecting them to say there was nothing there! But there was a little bean with a strong heartbeat, so relieved. Baby was lying in an awkward position so it was difficult for them to measure properly, but they've put me back a couple of days, but said it will probably change at my 12 week scan which is booked for the 7th of March.

I saw my doc at 5 weeks and they said they would refer me for booking in appointment but have had nothing yet. Will it come in the post or should I chase it?

Great news about your scan. I had to have an early one at 6 weeks and saw string heartbeat too. Feels like so long ago now!

 

[Clarkeyness]

Joey- Yay for 4 weeks left at work and 6 weeks till you're due!!

Bubbles- congrats on your scan! You must feel relieved now knowing everything is fine. Cant wait to hear about your 12 weeks scan!

Mrs C- Hopefully Pilot does come back to share the news! How are you doing now? Soon you will be full term and waiting!! YAY

Afm, I have a scan on valentines day this Thursday to measure LO and see if he is still breech which I think he is. Hopefully he will turn. I still have to post a few of my 3D pics... We have been trying to complete LO room..still have a few things left. Baby shower also in 2 weeks, cant wait!!

Mrschezek – the baby shower sounds absolutely lovely. Really excited about the gender scan, I spent the first trimester thinking Boy now I’m convinced it’s a girl for no reason at all. My midwife guessed girl after she heard the heartbeat but it far from a fool proof predication. Only 1 week till I find out for sure.

Welcome Kmae – great to have you here at last! Congrats on a healthy scan and heartbeat.

You too Bubbles. I know exactly what you mean, even after the scan DH had to keep reassuring me afterwards that I wasn’t dreaming and he also saw the baby really was in there!

Joey – wow only 4 weeks more of work -time is flying. Enjoy the baby shower!

Lou – sorry I’m in SA so don’t know much about how it works over there. However I overheard a few girls in other forums saying how they had to follow up because they didn’t get informed of the date for their appointment.

Clarkey - enjoy seeing Lo on Valetinesday, Hope he turns for you soon,

Thanks Zeez I got the community midwives number today, going to give them a call tomorrow

It's probably worth chasing up, I know it works different in each area but I phoned my doc at 5 weeks, they didn't even want to see me just said they'd pass my details on to the midwife and she'd be in touch. I got a call from her a couple of days later with my booking appointment which I had when I was 7 weeks + 4, they gave me my next midwife appointment there which is on the 22nd, and referred me for an early scan which is the one I had today, and after the scan today they gave me the date for the 12 week scan.

I know some places don't do their booking appointments til nearer 12 weeks, but I would've thought someone would've been in touch by now so probably best checking they haven't forgotten you or messed up somewhere.

 

[Kmae]

Thanks for the warm welcome- it's great to see so many familiar names here!

MrsChezek, I just can't believe how far along you are already...you too Zeez, so awesome. My due date is September 28th (looks like a few of us here are due in September!).

Lou, once I got my first scan from the Fertility Specialist- I had to make a follow up appointment with my OBGYN myself. Not sure how it works on your end of the world- but for me I had to make the appointment myself. My next u/s is on March 11th and I will be just over 11weeks. Can't wait!

 

[MrsChezek]

Hi girls!
I've updated the front page…can't believe I fell so far behind! Sowwy

Lou - I've put you down as unknown for now But I hope it's a girl if that is what you're going for!!!

Joey - I'm thrilled to get some new faces here too! I was getting sad that no one was making their way here for so long…we have a pretty big gap between end of June and September babies. I'm feeling pretty well except for the lightning bolt pains I'm getting cause she's sitting really low in my pelvis. She's pushing on my pubic symphysis and it's just not feeling that great! But otherwise, I'm good. Contractions aren't as regular and I'll be off bed rest in 3 days when I reach full term Your baby shower will be so fun! I had a great time at mine Hope she stays put till your work is done!!!

bubbles - so glad your first scan was good and you got a strong heartbeat! That must have felt so good! I remember the first time I heard our heartbeat…seems like ages ago now!! Boy the time flies…your 12 week scan is on my due date so an exciting day all around

Clarkey - how exciting to get another scan! I had a growth one done and it was so nice to check in with LO…hope all goes well and that he's turned! Still looking forward to those 3D pics

Zeez - one week will pass by in no time! Maybe I'll even have my little girl by then Wouldn't that be great! I just want her to wait out until this Thursday (37 weeks, but ideally the following week so she's closer to 38 weeks

Kmae - I can't believe how far along I am either!!!! Craziness Time is flying. We already had our first thread baby from sam - she had a little girl a week ago? maybe 2? I swear I cannot keep track of time at ALL these days! Preg_Pilot was 42 weeks on Saturday and scheduled to be induced but she disappeared a week ago on us and we haven't heard from her since. She said she was hurt but none of us know why and Clarkey saw the other day that she deactivated her account…hope all is well with her.


AFM, saw my doc today for another NST and baby looked happy. I had some contractions but they weren't as regular so the concern is low. Plus, I'm full term in 3 days so after that the doc said not to worry about anything! She's sitting super low and because of all the lighting bolts I'm getting, he said based on his experience, he could see her coming before the due date but there is no medical evidence per se to support this - just his experiential evidence. I'll take it. I just don't want her to be overdue so I don't have to get induced! So FX

 

[Loukachu]

Thanks guys going to give community midwives a call and ask them how it all works so I can have piece of mind!

 

[ZeeZ]

kmae - you're due on my mothers birthday!

Mrschezek - I know time flies after the first trimeaster (which felt sooo long). So exciting that your LO could be here so soon but its annoying you get to spent the next 2 days hoping she doesn't come early and then immediately switch to hoping she doesn't come late!

 

[Loukachu]

Spoke to community midwife today. She has me in the system ad they are about I send me my 12 week scan appointment. She said to get my bloods done 5 days before that and that hopefully they will have a midwife appointment around the same time. Feel so much better now I know what is going on!

 

[sportysgirl]

Loukachu glad you spoke to the midwife, it nice to know whats going on isn't it?

Kmae welcome heres to a happy and healthy 9 months!

Mrs C glad all ok lets hope baby hangs on a few more days!

Bubbles glad the scan went well its such an amazing sight and sound.


I have now finished work but I am still shattered probably trying to do too much! Really enjoying my antenatal classes, its nice to meet new people too!
