Its June!!!!! 20 week scan next month!!! Whos with me?

[Scally]

Thats a lovely outfit kellie-w, I am a sucker for stars too!

Good luck for you all tomorrow! I will update all the storks when u get back, i need to put the screen on the tv!

Kellie-w- I am sure Ollie will be fine, hopefully they can find a cause for the bleeding, its so daunting sat outside those rooms, I cried with my 12 week one when sat waiting!

sarahcake- how lovely you have your nice and early! Oh poor you kellie having to wait around all day, i had to do that and was climbing the walls! What plans do you all have for after your scans?

X

 

[Sarahcake]

No plans for me unfortunately, back home to do the housework!
My other half has to go back to work and my friends are at work also
Plus we don't get paid until Friday so no spending spree for me lol

 

[Scally]

Good luck today!

Will be checking all day for updates!!!!!

[kellie_w]

No plans for us either! My mum is having Luke as he doesn't fit in with the rules of "your well behaved children are welcome" so I guess we will just be going to pick him up! Maybe out for dinner, I have been fancying a Toby carvery for weeks so maybe that.

Less than a hour for sarahcakes, excited to hear the gender

Oh oh and since Tuesday I have felt some proper constant movements, and a couple of big kicks! so nice to finally feel them x

 

[Scally]

Yay thats fantastic kellie!!!!! Baby Ollie is letting you know he is ok! I think you need to treat yourselves to a Toby Carvery afterwards! Haha to Luke not being in the rules! When we went for our scan there was a trainee sonographer doing ours (with someone watching him) it took 50 mins, and Izzy was getting a little bored by that point! But the bonus was our scan picture was free!

Has anyone heard from lambchops- out of everyone who have had their scans she was a regular updater and was so excited about updating after her scan? She hasnt been on since the day before it?

 

[kellie_w]

I noticed that, I really really hope she's ok and all is fine with the twins x

Thanks for the trainee warning, I'll prepare myself for maybe a longer scan if I get him too! Hoping for the lovely morag again, not the miserable one with short hair! X

 

[Scally]

I dont think i have had Morag, the miserable one with the short hair was the one who was overseeing the trainee! She was soooooooooooo grumpy! I felt so sorry for him, she gave him no encouragement! x

 

[Scally]

I spent £25 on e bay yesterday!!!! I got some very cute sleepsuits- 10 newborn ones, and 5 0-3 ones, and some new bodysuits. I cant believe how much the new sleepsuits etc are on the shops- I think because Izzy was our first and I was working then we didnt think anything of splashing out on clothes but this time is very different! I think i did ok on ebay for £25, they are from places like Next, Mothercare etc, and i like the funky design ones plus its so much to pay for postage now! oooppps!

How are you doing with your second hand shopping kellie?

I know the Ardleigh boot sale is amazing, but i really can never be bothered to rummage but maybe i should try there soon!

[lambchops]

Any news from winks? kayheyy, and lambchops???? x

Hellooo sorry girlies ive been manic ever since i went for my scan first with work then a family friend passed and ive been so busy i totally havent managed to get on here an upload my pics theyre fab! Im in my phone now so dunno how to do it but we found out that we are team pink, twice over!! Ive got two little girls in my belly the scan was fab, got a dvd an everythin an the lady who done it was the lady who first told us we were havin twins back at 9weeks and she remembered us and we had a good old gab an she checked each baby 4 times to make sure it was all right that they were girls and then give them a quick check over too an she said they were lookin fine! Sooo excited for my next one now 25th july at my twin clinic at hospital!

 

[kellie_w]

Hurray lambchops! Congratulations on being pink twice over, you are so lucky! Your house will have so much pink in it now! So glad everything is ok, though sorry to hear about your family friend. Sending you lots of hugs x

Scally, well done on your bargains. I'm quite put off some eBay things, someone was selling a real cute babygrow, but charging £3.50 for second class post. For a babygrow that weighs next to nothing?! Definitely trying it on there! I was at the ardleigh boot sale Sunday, it was huge and there was so much baby stuff. I got 6 vests, 3 babygrows, 2 pairs of jeans, 2 hats and a couple of tshirts all in really good condition and from next, gap etc for £6. I don't like rummaging, I have a quick look but I prefer the sellers with a table of nicely folded stuff! I'm tempted to go this morning, but have told Luke zoo today! You shoul definitely have a look scally x

 

[Scally]

Yay Lamchops!!!!!!!! 2 girlies!!!!!! wow I bet you are over the moon! So happy for you!
So sorry about your friend, big hugs xx

Oooooh may have to go this weekend if its nice, I have seen there is a stall there that does snowsuits so will have a nosy there! I really cant be doing with the boxes of clothes, hopefully i'll find some nicely laid out stalls!

I think the postage is madness on e bay, i have not got any single items as just not worth it with postage, I have bought the 2 lots of 5 sleepsuits so it makes it worth my while! It all adds up though!

Enjoy your day at the zoo!

[Sarahcake]

Just back from my scan! Baby looks nice and healthy but I have to go back end of the month for a rescan on the heart as it was the one thing we couldn't see in enough depth.

As for sex, turns our my winky sighting at 17 weeks was correct having a little boy!! So happy right now

Kellie best of luck with your scan today

 

[kellie_w]

Hurray sarahcake! Finally another boy after the run of girls we have had. Huge Congratulations to you, was baby in a funny position for them not to be able to see the heart properly? X

 

[Sarahcake]

I'm a bigger lass so the picture wasn't as clear as necessary unfortunately. She could see everything else perfectly though, she said that everything seems ok with the heart but as a formality she needs a clearer picture.

Very very pleased to be honest, I would have been happy either way but it's nice to know, gives baby their own identity I think.

 

[Scally]

sarahcake- congratulations on the blue bump! Be nice to go back and have another scan!

Would any of you ladies mind sharing your measurements with me? My little miss has a big belly, normal size head, smaller femur and an even smaller humerus length. can we compare them please? x

I sure can

My measurements are as follows:

Head Circumference - 183 mm
Abdominal Circumference - 156 mm
Femer Length - 34 mm

And I dont have the humerus length im afraid.
Hope this helps

 

[Scally]

Thank you sarahcake

My measurements were
HC- 179 (apparently 50 centile)
AC- 161 (almost top centile line)
FL- 32.4- below 50th
And the HL has been noted as only 19.5 which is about a week behind.

When the trainee sonographer measured this the sonographer asked him if the placenta looked like it was working ok??!!! And he said it was fine and clear. Now of course i googled and alarm bells are ringing, but surely they would have said something/arranged another scan if they thought something was wrong?
x

 

[Sarahcake]

Yeah they definitely would have sent you for repeat scans if the placenta was in a dodgy position or if it didn't look like it was coping so don't worry Something like a weird position will likely right itself before birth but your given another scan to make sure, which would have been mentioned there and then and if it was something really wrong, they would have picked up on that within a matter of seconds.

On the paper with your measurements on, does it have a placenta section? Mine does, it just says normal, anterior. See if you have that section, they would have to note something there

 

[Scally]

Mine says posterior for the placenta- they seemed to think that was working ok. But i have since been looking at small humerus bones and femur bones, the humerus bone was a week behind and that can be an indicator or dwarfism or downs, but surely someone would speak to me about that? God I am so sorry i am having a paranoid, worry day! x

 

[Sarahcake]

Dont be sorry Its hard sometimes when you feel like they maybe didn't tell you everything, you put two and two together and come up with lots of things Id give the midwife a call and express your concerns, put your own mind at ease. Doctor google is a shit pardon my French.
