FEBRUARY HEARTS Due in February 2015 , open group all welcome!

Just popped in to check on you shells! What wonderful news! Massive congrats! Boys are awesome and are always total mummies boys! Xxx

Awww Foxie so lovely to see you!! We're very excited about our boys! xx

Thanks ladies for all the congrats :flower: It's been an exhausting day - and having to contend with DH's other 2 boys not being very happy they are not getting a sister is going to be quite stressful this weekend :dohh:
 
Finally had our ob appointment today after not having one for over six weeks! Got to hear baby's heartbeat on the doppler for the first time which was amazing, everything seems great and normal. Also had the date for our gender scan at last! It will be a week today! I'm glad it's next week but I was hoping it would be Monday so I don't have to wait as long!! Just happy to have a date though!
 
Lesson learned here... I called my ob on wednesday about the pains etc I was having (I mentioned them here on the weekend, so it has been going on since the then). The nurse told me that a feeling of pressure and shooting pains in my groin was "not fun, but completely normal". I was upset they wouldn't at least give me a once over before declaring me a whiner! ...anyway, cut to last night- pains worse, cut to today- hurts to pee. Yep, it was a uti all along, and thankfully the gp could prescribe antibiotics this afternoon.

I am pissed off at my ob, and at myself for not insisting I be seen when I knew something was wrong. In the grand scheme of things, a uti is not that bad- but just wanted to share and to tell you all to trust your instincts! If you know something is up, it most likely is!!

This is a lesson I have had to learn a couple of times- and perhaps now is a good time for me to get a reminder. It is up to us to advocate for ourselves and make SURE everything is going well for us and baby! :)
 
Hooray for a good appointment, and finding out the gender soon, captain! :) is that just a gender scan? Or is it your anatomy scan? Mine is next Friday... Already nervous!

I have a uti too! The shooting pain is unbearable! Does your back hurt?

Feel better soon!
 
It doesn't hurt that bad... just strange shooting pains in my general downstairs and I knew something was wrong! Thankfully no back pain. Thanks for the good wishes, ladies! :)

Did you get antibiotics, ttc? Hope you get well soon, too :)

And for anyone who thinks they have one at any stage- you can get self test kits from a pharmacy these days. That's what I did and then the gp did the same test herself when I got there before she prescribed antibiotics.

Yeah I think it would be the anatomy scan, I had one very early on to determine the date, and this would be my second at almost 20 weeks. How much is this week going to drag for us eh!?
 
I did get antibiotics. Ugh I'm just in so much pain. I cry when i pee and i didn't even shed one tear during my ds labor.

Good luck at your scans next week ladies! Captain I'm going to guess girl for you..... :)
 
I know... This week is gonna drag! Just hope it all looks great on the scan. I'm not sure she will, but I hope the dr will talk us through it as she does it. That would give me great peace of mind.

Poor you, ttc! :( I really hope the meds kick in soon!!!
 
I saw an antenatal physio on Thursday who said if you have heartburn to raise the head of the bed on a couple of wooden blocks an inch or two should help x

5 to 5 and I've hardly slept either x
 
Hi ladies just checking in, had midwife this week and heard the babys heartbeat, it was 152 and all seems normal. Got my 20 week scan on 10th oct so i cant wait, seems a long way off yet but got a busy few weeks so hopefully itll fly by! Congrats on all your gender scans ladies x
 
Congrats on the boys shells!! :thumbup:

I have my 20 week scan on 10th October too Christina! Still seems an age away!! x
 
Aww minibump i know, but im sure itll fly by! Just noticed youre hoping fo a vbac, me too!
 
Congratulations Shells! So exciting. Cant wait to find out what your having now Melly xxx
 
Aww minibump i know, but im sure itll fly by! Just noticed youre hoping fo a vbac, me too!

Yay, nice to know I'm not alone! :thumbup: I did ask earlier in the thread if there were any other hopefuls but didn't get any responses so thought it was just me! Have you seen your Consultant yet? I have my first appointment on 8th October, hopefully it'll be straightforward.

Fingers crossed for both of us! I'm doing yoga and hypnobirthing classes this time around, every little helps! x
 
Hypnobirthing is awesome! I did it last time and had a painless birth, and this time I'm trying HypnoBabies in conjunction with it (very expensive but I was able to get a hold of the CDs -- I don't have that kind of money). I have a good friend who had a very successful home birth VBAC using HypnoBirthing.

I've also heard that heartburn is associated with baby having a lot of hair!
