February 2018 - Valentines Babies!

[akinsmom2]

So excited for tuesday for my scan. Anyone have any guesses what the gender of there baby will be?

 

[Zephram]

I hope everyone is doing okay!

I had a scan today. It's the first time in 3 pregnancies I've had a scan before 12 weeks, baby was so itty bitty on the screen! My lovely midwife invented a reason for me to have an early scan as I mentioned last week that I was feeling anxious due to having several people close to me experience losses recently and feeling like it was my turn. So I went for a dating scan today and baby was measuring absolutely spot on - I'm 10+1 today and baby measured exactly that. So stoked!

Felt quite emotional to hear the heartbeat and see it wiggling about. It appears to have the correct number of limbs so that's good!

OH and I both feel that it's another boy after seeing the scan - bring on 20 weeks so we can find out the sex! 3 boys will be full on!

Only two more weeks until 12 weeks scan - can't wait.

Good luck to everyone else having a scan soon!

I'm be 10 weeks today. Felt some light cramping and severe dizziness. Last time I was in the GP, my Bp was so low, she wanted me to seek specialist treatment. I said, I'll just drink some gatorade and eat chips. I have also been coughing the last 3 weeks.

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a good weekend!

Have my first scan at lunchtime today and am so excited and nervous! I've had plenty of symptoms but still wouldn't say that I 'feel pregnant' so I've gotten very caught up in my head thinking that the scan won't show anything :/ Fx'd that I'm wrong and everything looks good!

I'm also quite nervous as to what they're going to say about my weight...I was definitely a bit overweight when I got pregnant and (even though I've been trying to eat really well since) the lack of activity from being so tired all the time definitely has me feeling chubbier...

Also been struggling with some depression the last week or so...I'm happy to be pregnant, but feeling very overwhelmed by all of the change. Which then makes me feel guilty about not being more grateful to be pregnant. Vicious cycle. Anyone else out there having mixed feelings?

Good luck today Gemini.

I'm feeling pretty good today so I'm gonna try to clean up my house. My dad is coming Friday so gotta get motivated.

Is anyone dealing with numbness? My hands have been going numb for about 2 weeks multiple times a day and especially at night. My feet do occasionally, maybe 2-3 times.

How's was scan Gemini? Krissie not me that odd though?
Scan tomorrow. Pooping myself

 

[BabyBrain80]

Good luck with the scans ladies!

@Nordic.....just popping by to see how you are, hope all ok x

 

[krissie328]

Bitttersweet- it's definatley odd. I have an appt on August 2nd so I'll ask them. If they think it's not pregnancy related I'll go into my chiropractor and get adjusted and see if that helps.

 

[Gemini19156]

Krissie - I would ask your doctor about the numbness, could have to do with low blood pressure.

Here's some pics from our scan Little babe is measuring a little behind schedule but has a good strong heartbeat and was moving around quite a bit! Can't believe our little person is really in there...

Aww photobucket isn't working.

That's great the baby is moving around and healthy. It's so amazing to see them.

I have an appointment on Wed and I'm really hoping to get an ultrasound to confirm all is good so I can tell my dad when he comes Friday. My official 12 week scan is a week from Wed.

I picked out some paint chips today. My mom was so not impressed with my color choices. I won't buy paint until after our 20 week ultrasound. But it's nice to think about it.

 

[Bittersweet]

Aww glad scan went well
It's my big 12 week today I feel sick with anxiety and excitement

 

[xkirstyx]

Good luck hunny!!!! Xxx

 

[Bittersweet]

Thanks I've just thrown up and keep googling missed miscarriage I havnt been physically sick since really early on. I feel fine now though

 

[xkirstyx]

I've been stressing loads about all my sickness and stretching pains stopping. Nausea is back a little bit this morning

 

[lian_83]

Xkirsty, I am also super nauseous, after having a 2 week break from the dizzy spells. 10w1d, ages away from my 12 week scan.

My 12 week NT scan is on Thursday and I'm excited (but also nervous). I wish they told us the NT measurements! Under 2mm is normal, I just want to know, lol.

Thinking about planning an unassisted birth. My 2nd midwife appointment was way more medicalized than my past 2 midwifery experiences in BC, and it was frustrating having to decline all this uneccesary stuff I don't need...

 

[Bittersweet]

Scan went well due date is 3rd Feb as I predicted! Bab was rolling about and waving was great!

 

[krissie328]

I've been feeling better and really enjoying it. I can't remember when I started feeling better with DS but I know it was right around the end of first tri.

Good luck to the ladies with nt scans this week. Mine in next week. I wish I had someone to go with me. This is seriously the most stressful scan for me.

Yay that's fab!!! X
