I want to but here in Florida once you have csection the doctor's wont let one have a vbac.

Shey can't you try for vbac? Xx

 

[RaspberryK]

Aww that sucks, so annoying when you get told what you can and can't do!
I'm going to have a fight on my hands tomorrow with my consultant who will no doubt not want to let my baby get too big...
Am taking my mil and not going to be bullied, I'm even going to request cancelling my gtt at 26 weeks and only having it if regular monitoring suggests a problem since I didn't have gd with ds xx

 

[2nd time]

I recomend sticking to your guns las time dr wanted to induce me at 34 weeks as they said baby not growing I said no they wanted to again at 36 ,38 and finaly 40 at 40 weeks I said ok and gave birth naturaly the day before induction baby was 7lb my biggest yet she would have been small if she had come at 34 weeks

You certainly still can try for a VBAC in Florida. It's your right! A woman in Cape Coral, Florida, Jennifer Goodall, recently fought for her right to have a trial of labour after 3 c-sections -- and won (at a different hospital). She ended up having a c-section anyway, but she was able to try for a VBAC and that's what matters. Most other places know that VBACs are a safe option for women who have had horizontal c-sections. Florida is just messed up, but you can certainly fight it if you want a VBAC.

Morning! 11 weeks today!! 10 days until my scan!

I just ordered the most adorable baseball onesies - one for the Cleveland Indians (my husband's team) and one for the Boston Red Sox (my team) - and I am thinking for the Facebook announcement to take a photo of them and say something like 'the rivalry continues'.

Had my scan today. 12 weeks 4 days. Due 13th Feb. Everything looked fine and NT is in normal limits for gestation. Posted in Gender prediction but so far no replies! Feronia very kindly had a guess on FB, thanks hun. I am happy either way, just relieved that so far so good!.

 

[2nd time]

The nub looks like it's at an angle to you? I put it into paint and saw that it looked more parallel. Interesting! I bet the in gender folks are really good at guessing if you're not getting many replies here.

 

[MellyH]

I would guess girl, the nub is pointing less than 30 degrees away from the spine! Which was the rule of thumb someone posted somewhere. And isn't it amazing how much more like babies they look at the 12 week scan!!

I have two limes inside me today!

I want my wrap NOW. I just got confirmation that it shipped, so ten business days or so is their expectation but we'll see how customs works with that.

Just in case anyone is interested, I just got these in the mail yesterday. I was looking for some nursing scarves and a friend shared this product with me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JW7V4TS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They're super cute and a nice size for nursing (or just to wear, if you rather, LOL). I figured for the price I'd give them a shot and was pleasantly surprised, but we'll see how they hold up with a nursing kiddo in the mix.

I have noticed that my patience is minimal with most anyone except my husband and my daughter. Guess for their sakes, that's a good thing. But my husband notes my irritability toward everyone else and mostly just stays quiet, I suppose trying to avoid my wrath shifting to him. xD I've been trying to bite my tongue. It helps that I work from home, I guess. But man, I just have no tolerance for petty crap right now. Sigh. Hormones!

Captain glad he's home today, so exciting!

I have so many errands to run today and I don't have a desire to go do them. But I'm selling some diapers I'm not planning to use with #2... so I have to get myself together.

All I wanna do is nap.

 

[MellyH]

How does a nursing scarf work? Are you supposed to cover them with it while they're nursing?

Super cute! I think it is sweet, and very personal

I am sure my husbands family will be sending us some Reds stuff.

 

[RaspberryK]

I will certainly not be induced due to size of baby, ds was 10lb3 and no problems with delivery so I'll tell them size doesn't concern me.

[MiniBump]

Booked my Panorama test for Friday so get to see baby again, yay, and we'll also find out the gender from that. Still waiting for my 12 week scan appointment so excited for that too!

I'm still sooo tired, the iron tablets are starting to kick in now but not quickly enough. Hope everyone else is well!

Loving the scan pics!

 

[Shey]

We will see wat happens. Hopefully i can go naturally.

Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat, before I got pregnant, I booked a holiday for 1st of January going to Egypt for a week for OH's birthday. Obviously now I will be heavily pregnant around 33 weeks. I would be terrified to travel after 30 weeks. I can pay extra and change the dates but obviously I will have to add the baby on and was thinking maybe do it for when the little bean is 8 months old.
What are your opinions? Would you risk it and go at 33 weeks or wait till the baby is here and when they're old enough?

Of course, it is up to you! I tried out two different doctors here, and both gave info pamphlets #1 suggests no travel after 30 weeks, #2 suggests no travel after 32. We were going to go to see my family in Australia this Christmas, but I nixed the idea because I don't like the idea of such a long trip, and i would be pushing the 30 or 32 weeks during the time there. (Also- you might want to look and see if travel insurance would cover you a that pregnant?) Personally, I think in your situation I would rebook... But if you are comfortable, then don't let other people tell you what to do!

I have a short 5 day trip booked to Ireland in October (not even a 1 hour flight) - which at 23 weeks with a singleton wasn't going to be an issue, i'm now just hoping everything is fine around that time and i get the all clear to fly and get to to go on my babymoon (i say babymoon but in theory i'm working 2 days lol)

 

[RaspberryK]

I'd go on holiday it'll be the last relaxing one you get for about 20 years!
I'd travel up to the airline cutoff which could be anything up to 36 weeks xx
