Hi girls could I join please? I'm Abbie, and I have 2 year old called Lily I think I'm due on Feb 14th although Il have a more accurate idea after the 12 week scan! x

I'm due the 14 th 2 xxx

 

[BabyNo1]

We had our scan yesterday and have a beautiful little baby growing in my tummy all well and super excited now.
We told our little girl and she can't stop talking about it

Don't know how to put a pic on here though x

 

[rollachick]

Had my scan on friday, measuring a week behind, is that normal? I was supose to be 12w2d but only 11w2d and im sure of my lmp. But they wernt regular since having my last girl so maybe that changed it?
She wants me to come back next week so they can measure the neck thickness properly but its a 2 & 1/2 hour drive each way so dont no if we are going to bother, would you? She said everything looked fine but was a bit small to get a proper measure.

Anyone have theorys as to skull shape and gender?

 

[Jaxvipe]

I measured 3 days behind with this one. And with DD i would measure a week ahead to a week behind sometimes. I think it just depends on how well they took the measurements. I wouldn't worry.

 

[FLArmyWife]

was trying to kill some time today so I went through my phone, found all my bump photos, uploaded them, edited, and put together a new progression shot.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I just got back from my scan. He dated me back to a March 3rd due date, but I am certain on when we had sex, concieved, and implanted. I felt everything and I had taken a ovulation test. Besides, it is near impossible to have gotten a clear blue digital positive weeks indicator on the day I did if I were due March 3. I am just a little confused. Anyway, should I stay in the group or move over to March Monkeys? Also, here is my picture. Little bubs had a hb of 150 and everything looked good. All my numbers came back great too. I am just a bit low on vitamin D. Am I too far along for a Ramzi theory guess?

STAY!!!

Is anyone else getting super hot at night when sleeping?? We have air on and Fan going, but I still wake up hot...

Beautiful scans by the way ladies!!!

I had to strip down to my gitch at night, and I'm still hot.

Morning sickness still kicking me in the butt.

Same. I'm down almost 5 lbs . As hard as it is, I have found if I choke something down in the morning, the less sick I'll be during the day. So this morning I had a slice of toast and was actually able to eat a little lunch a couple hours later. I was suprised yet ecstatic. It's keeping my tummy empty (all these food aversion ugh) that seems to keep me sick. Now I'm sipping on Gatorade. Hang in there.

I'm really only nauseous and sick when I drink water, or if I don't eat. Eating helps. A lot.

Question.. Do you go by your LMP or how far along you were measuring at the scan? Confused!

That's confusing for me. I know exactly when I conceived because I use sperm donation. By insemination dates, I should be due February 14, but my last two ultrasounds put me closer to being due by my LMP. My first put me at February 8, my second put me at February 10, so I'm going with February 10 which is my LMP dates, since the ultrasound says that's when I'm due too.

Hiya....I haven't posted here for a while....was on often early doors.

Unfortunately I lost my baby...heartbeat stopped at 9 weeks ....went in for the surgical procedure today. If someone... Brandi? Can put that on first page that would be great.

Thanks ladies...and good luck to you all for your February babbas x x

Very sorry for your loss, mitch

I've been MIA for a while ladies. I was away for a week and then couldn't catch up with everything I've missed, then I had my scan and baby has a large nt measurement so now I'm waiting on the results from the blood tests to see what happens next. They're talking about Down's syndrome and/or heart defects so u could really use some prayers and positive stories right now. I was told the results will take 7-10 days. Today is only day 2 so I'm beside myself with worry!

Hoping for good results, anti!

Brittrashel yay a boy thats so exciting! I have 2 boys and its lovely they are very close! Did it cost much for test to be done for the gender this early? Its $450 here to have it done!
Is the facebook group your on for anyone or specific for people you know or your country? I have been looking for a Facebook page and cant find one

Send me a friend request on FB, Brandi Nunes (my son eating cake) and I'll add you. I can automatically approve as I'm an admin.

I've lost my baby . It stopped growing at 9 weeks. Went in today because on Monday I started having some odd very light cramping, and then yesterday had some brown spotting. But there were no obvious signs - I haven't had many symptoms this whole pregnancy so when they lessened at 8-9 weeks I thought maybe my hormones were balancing out. I've been on progesterone this whole time so I'm guessing that's why I didn't know sooner. But there's so many stories where someone has the same journey and their baby is fine, so there's no way to know. My belly was even starting to grow this last week.

Wishing you ladies the best of luck for healthy pregnancies.

Very sorry for your loss, ksquared.

Britt, can I send you a FB request as well? I tried to send one to Brandi quite awhile back but seem to have gotten missed.

I have a few friend requests sitting. I don't add people I don't know, but if you send me a message on FB or here with your screen name/who you are, I'll add you and add you to the group.

AFM - Laptop is still down and home computer is a PITA. Busy with work. Told them today. They took it well. Turns out, they already knew. They creeped my Facebook and found out, and they'reokay with it because they didn't have to train me. They want to see me finish my probation period and get my maternity benefits.

I'm terrified of losing this pregnancy. My best friend found out she's pregnant again. Our babies were born 5 weeks apart and we were due 5 weeks apart again, but she lost her baby. She's going for a D&C Wednesday, which is the same as my next ultrasound. She was going to be the one who finds out what my baby is and keeps a secret from me and collects baby things for me. She has been helping me with names and all things baby, and now I feel like an ass for trying to talk baby. I'm avoiding it all I can because I don't want to unintentionally hurt her. Then there's the PTSD from my last birth kicking in making me fear that I'm not going to be bringing this baby home. I had a very vivid dream last night that I gave birth to a baby girl who weighed 6lbs 3oz. I gave birth into a hospital toilet on September 6 and named her Amelia (that would put me at 18 weeks and Amelia is a name I'm considering).

Updating the front page now, ladies.

Ksquared so sorry for your loss

Brandi: I just added you then

Afm: im pretty sure I pulled a muscle in my stomach today I am still on 5kg limit to lift but my youngest weighs 13kgs and is only 18 months so doesnt understand so I have still been picking him up alot and today when i picked him up I felt something pull and have been in pain ever since
the vomiting is down to one a day sometimes more but rare yayyyyy I am so happy about that lol.
I have been put on pelvic rest for the remainder of the pregnancy and no exercise either aarrrggghhh I am going to go insane but on a brighter note at this stage I am still booked in for my homebirth so I am super excited about that! It can definitely change if the sch doesnt heal but if it does and no other problems arise I will get my second homebirth!!

 

[became]

I was sure I wanted my birth to be at my nearest hospital, but now I'm swaying more and more towards the homebirth option. I think it'd be an amazing experience, plus I'd be so much more comfortable at home. Has anyone on here had a homebirth before? Would you recommend it if so? X

 

[hope2bmother]

I'd like to join the Facebook group, can someone please tell me how?

 

[writingislove]

Hmmm, I did send you a message here with my name before I sent you the FB request. I'll send you a message again.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I'd like to join the Facebook group, can someone please tell me how?

It's secret, so a member of the group has to add you, and an admin approve you. Send me a request on Facebook, Brandi Nunes (profile pic is my son eating cake), and I'll add you to the group. I'm an admin in the group so you'll have automatic approval. Just let me know who you are, cuz I don't normally add people I don't know to my personal page. You can delete me after you're in. I won't be offended lol.

writing, I'll send you a PM on here

I was considering a home birth at first but have had enough spotting, complications, etc with this pregnancy that I feel a hospital birth will be best for me. I would be more inclined to consider a home birth with subsequent pregnancies so I am a little more familiar with what to expect.

AFM I am having such back pain today! I had a small amount of old blood spotting yesterday afternoon (mostly with wiping after urination). My back pain was starting on Friday so I went to see a chiropractor, and then went to a wedding yesterday. I was on my feet a lot, but didn't overdo it with the dancing. I have slight cramps, but nothing severe.

I don't know if what I'm experiencing is normal, and it's not enough that I'm going to go running to the emergency room. I go in for my 12-week appointment on Tuesday so I feel like there isn't much I can do until then but wait.

Any input? I can't help but be concerned.

Yea im thinking its a girl again this time aswell

 

[BrandiCanucks]

My third birth went over so well and perfectly that I was adamant upon a home water birth with my fourth. I yelled at anybody who told me not to or told me that something would go wrong, or anyone who said I couldn't do it. I had the pool set up in my living room for weeks, and when the time came, had I gone through with the home birth, my son would have died. There would have been no way to know my cord prolapsed had I been in that water. The 10 minutes it would have taken to get to the hospital would have been 10 minutes too late. My son was already gone when he was born, and without NICU being right there, he wouldn't have celebrated his first birthday this week. I was 100% anti-caesarean section before that experience. For that reason alone, I could never ever bring myself to have a home birth, even if I lived right across the street from the hospital. I had 3 perfect, uneventful births before my son's birth. Not a single midwife, or doctor had anticipated that happening because every other birth had been so perfect. Labours had gotten quicker and easier, I was home after 3 hours after my 3rd child. So for me, personally, home births are an absolute no go. At this point, I'm going the c-section route.

My back has begun hurting today as well. Its pretty annoying. My guess is it's from the growing uterus and once the uterus comes out of the pelvis it should ease up a bit.

I had a homebirth with my last and it was the best experience! It was so calm and relaxed it didnt feel like labor at all! I also did hypnobirthing which helped the relaxing part. I am booked for another homebirth with this one as long as my ach heals before 26 weeks it will still go ahead but if it hasnt I will have to deliver at a hospital. My son was born in water and still in his caul it was amazing everyone said I didnt get to see as it broke when his feet came out. I loved not having to drive to the hospital which stalled my labor with my first or having to lie on those horrible beds or asked to be checked often I was completely in control of everything I was only checked once and the midwife just went off what my body told me to do she didnt even check me when I said it was time to push she just let me lead the way it was fantastic I was the one who pulled my son out of the water and onto to cheat it was all such a great experience. it was also amazing getting to go to sleep in my own bed rather than a maternity ward and eating and drinking what ever I wanted during labor lol we had music and candles it was lovely!!!!

Afm: I thought I was in the clear about my sch but have had severe cramping today and bleeding again it is so hard with my 2 boys to be resting the youngest just doesn't understand especially with hubby in another state he is beside himself at the moment with nanny caring for him while I stay with them. If the bleeding hasnt stopped tomorrow I have to go for a scan and midwife appointment. Fingers crossed it clears up.

I'm a hospital girl all the way. Preferably with a top-of-the-state NICU attached as well, just in case anything goes wrong... But I'm also a worrywart, lol.
