February Lovebugs of 2016!! 16 pink, 15 blue, 7 yellow

Been feeling the baby move a lot in the last couple of days.
Taking isaac to a firework display in an hour. Wonder whether the baby will like them next year...
 
Wow things really are moving fast! It seems to creep by day by day but then suddenly I realize I'm almost in third tri and the baby will be here before I know it. Good news that everything is looking good!!! Did they find it to be placenta previa before or was it just really close?
I bet it's tough not to be nervous with past complications--OH and I were NTNP for a few months before my BFP and here I've been ever since. That being said, I still worry about everything. Sending good thoughts for a healthy rest of pregnancy!

They never really said anything to me until my anatomy scan. I think that may have been the reason for my bleeding episodes that landed me in emergency at 7 weeks and 13 weeks. I think it was slightly covering my cervix then. At my anatomy scan, it was about 1 cm away and my dr said that he likes to see it atleast 3 cm away for a vaginal delivery. I have an US next appt where they will check the placenta again.

Rebecca, I wasn't offered my whooping cough vaccine until I was in labor with Allie.

Mommylov, congrats on a great appointment! Good luck with the nursery furniture!

Thanks Nenna! Congrats to you on passing the glucose test!!!! What did they say to you about the baby's size? Also, I think they are giving me my whooping cough vaccine next apt (28 weeks).
 
They're not worried until she's 3rd percentile or lower, so they're keeping a close watch to make sure she stays on the growth curve she's on now. Allie measured small until she was born at 8lbs 21in... She was never in the 15th percentile small though.
 
Nenna - that's gotta feel good to pass the glucose test! :happydance: one less thing to worry about I hope

Jaxvipe: Have fun at your scan! Where do you get your 3-D done at?

Neferet: Same! Last night in the tub I just watched my belly twitch and roll as baby wriggled around in there. Seems to be taking advantage of all this room its got for the time being :haha:

Mommylov: GL at your appt! Let's hope everything looks good
 
Had my level 2 ultrasound today and met with the maternal fetal medicine dr, she said he looks perfect his heart looks perfect. And the fact that our daughter had an EIF makes us more likely to have other babies with one too. She said that my downs risk was 1:13000 so even if she increased it bc of the EIF it would be 1:7000 and that's an awesome result.

He was moving around so much during the ultrasound and he has never been shy about showing off his boy parts! Lol
 
Had my midwife appointment today. She measured my stomach and its measuring 3 weeks ahead. Im 26weeks and its measuring at 29weeks. Bit nervous, anyone had this? Going to do the glucouse test begging of next week to c if it could be gd
 
I haven't had it measure 3 weeks ahead but I did measure about 1.5-2 weeks ahead last appt but they said that was totally fine. Good kick with you GD test! I have mine on the 24th 😁 but I did have GD with my daughter so in just expecting to have it again.

I'm also measuring more than 2 weeks ahead. Little bug's estimated weight is now 900 gr when it should be 600-650... Doctor didn't seem worried, but he had already given me my glucose test order, which I'm probably taking this Monday. I will confess that I'm a bit concerned about the GTT as well, but no one in my family ever had a history of diabetes, I was normal-sized and haven't put on a lot of weight and both hubbie and I were born as really big babies (and we're both on the tall side), so I'm hoping it's just genetics. I'm also on aspirin for very mild thrombophilia tendencies and my hematologist is on the look out for IUGR signs, so I guess I'm more relieved that my baby is big rather than small.

That said, I'm not sure how accurate fundal height is, they just send you in for an ultrasound for measurements here. I've never even had mine measured, so I'm not sure how a comparison would go. Did your mw mention anything about an ultrasound? Or are they just happy to monitor for now so long as the glucose test is okay?
 
Hi! Not posted in ages because I'm useless but hope everyone is getting on alright.

As for me, I'm okay; this is flying by far too quickly! But also d r a g g i n g...lol, I can't wait for pregnancy to be over! Wish I could be one of those glowy pregnant women but the whole experience is just painful for me. I've already started taking codeine for the SPD, but no crutches yet at least! I've got my whooping cough jab and glucose tolerance test on the 23rd; not looking forward to that. I don't know how they expect anyone to drink that much lucozade without puking - that stuff is gross.

I've also got a job interview on the first day of my third trimester, Friday the 13th, hahaha. I'm a glutton for punishment! But it's a rare promotion opportunity so figured I'd go for it so I at least start my mat leave in a better position career-wise.

Hope everyone else is having a lovely, glowy time :) xx
 
Baby is measuring ahead or your uterus/fundal height? it can be indicative of excess amniotic fluid and baby is measuring right on. They might just monitor it til your next appointment and if it gets worse or stays the same, get an ultrasound. Polyhydramnios is not something to mess around with and can lead to BIG complications in labour if not caught and/or treated.
 
I too measured a little ahead on wed (a few days) but Im sure its nothing to be too concerned about or they would say something to you. hope your little peanut is healthy and well! :)
 
Hi ladies,
I was never measured by my belly...

I've had my last appt this Wed and had an US done. Dr said baby was measuring a couple of days behind, but nothing to worry about. Just told me to pack on more proteins and wait for next month appt.

I have my glucose test this coming Tuesday.

Here is a pic of our little Benjamin :)

Thanks everyone for the replies. She said shel just keep an eye on it to c if it evens out. A couple ppl i know had big bumps so got a ultrasound done around 38weeks to c the actual size of the baby so i guess ill just have to wait and see what happens at my next appointment in 3weeks. It explains y i all of a sudden felt really preg and started finding it hard to just lean iver and pick stuff up. Coz my appointment at 22weeks i measuring perfect. Oh well im sure its nothing. Will go do my GD test on monday and just wait. Im glad im not a worrier :p
 
So I made a list this morning of things I still needed to get for Emelia, and the top three things totalled $750. One of them was a new breast pump. Honestly, I was not completely satisfied with the Avent Comfort Double. It just didn't do the job that the IQ Duo did, so I was looking into the Medela pump for $450. We don't have the option for insurance to cover it here in Canada since our health care is almost completely free.

I went to test out the pump this morning, plugged it in to 3 different outlets and NADA. The motor wouldn't turn on, UNLESS I flipped the unit upside down. Weird, I know. This made me upset because I only had the unit since February 2014 and haven't used it at all in a year, at least.

Did a little digging and found out it came with a 24 month warranty, so it was still under warranty. Called Avent and figured I could probably send it in to be fixed, and instead, they're sending me a whole new pump!!

I have to send them the damaged one back, and that's good with me, but that just saved me at least $300. I can cross breast pump off my list!
 
That's fab, glad you saved some money! :) I didn't breastfeed Amelia, so I never had a pump or anything like that.. I really want to breastfeed this baby, but I have no idea on what pumps are good etc.. Can anyone help me out? :)
 
Yay! That reminds me to go get my pump. Haha.

Little boy is 1lb 9oz and measuring a week or so ahead! I figured he would cause my original dates were that I O'd a week prior to my current due date, but whatever :)
 
That's awesome news Brandi! I had a medela pump with DD and I am going to get a new one hopefully next month through insurance.

Great news Leah! Our baby's are getting big! Little man was measuring 1lb 12oz at our appt on Thursday :)

I should sit down and make a list of all the things we still need to get so I can plan better.
 
I've got the Medela Pump, seemed like it had the best reviews overall :)

Eeep, got my 4D scan tomorrow!! :happydance: Can't wait to see his little face :cloud9: And see how big he is!
 
Knowing I just got one, pretty much free, I'm okay sticking with the Comfort Double. It wasn't HORRIBLE, just wasn't as good as their old model.

Now I'm trying to get the bassinet today. They have ONE left, on sale, in owl theme at the Walmart close to my mom's house and she won't answer the phone to go pick it up! AHHHH!!!

I'll probably end up just bed sharing again and moving her to the crib at 6 months old like I did Asher. Hmmm...so maybe then I'll skip it. I didn't use it at all with Asher and sold his.
