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

[Scally]

My heart goes out to those two women on here who lossed their babies last week. Didnt realise Gary Barlow had too, so sad.
You do have a doppler dont u? If not i have one and am in Colchester Wednesday you are very welcome to borrow mine x

 

[kellie_w]

Thank you for the offer! I do have one, I had stopped using it too like you as I have so much movement now. Even now he is kicking away, love seeing my belly move!

It's just come across the news about him, his wife was 8 months. I just don't know how you recover from that kind of pain.

Do you have any names yet ally? Are you keeping them private until your little girls arrival? Is there anyone still name deciding? X

 

[Scally]

Gosh 8 months, how do you deal with that? It goes to show that even with the best midwife care, hospitals and money these awful things still happen.

Havent definitely decided on a name yet Poppy is number 1 on our list at the moment, with Esme and Lily as possibles too, but dont want to make my mind up until our little madam is born x

 

[time]

haven't used my doppler for weeks but glad to keep it just incase of those 'have i felt the baby today' moments i'm sure i will have later on!

poor gary barlow and his wife so so sad i don't know how you would recover from that that is devastating!

Gary's baby girl was called Poppy it's also number 2 on our list such a beautiful name but don't know if it would be too sad to use now.

I know what you mean about reading stuff like that making you nervous, after I heard about Gary Barlow's little girl I didn;t feel bean move when I was lying in bed that night and it made me really nervous, it's scary how things can go wrong so late on. I never got a doppler though so can't check, but getting regular movements every day now so feeling reassured, plus it was my V day yesterday! Can't say that there is any particular pattern to the movement yet though!

Found a new kitty to replace our beloved Poppy (our cat baby was another Poppy) and we're calling her Darcy. Hubs liked it for a girl but I teach a Darcy so didn't want to use it but we still loved it so have managed to use it another way. Still love Arya if we have a little girl

Love Esme! thats a beautiful name

Anyone got any good boy ideas? we love Logan but would like to think of a couple more for some reason xxx

[kellie_w]

Happy v day pops! Sorry I'm late!

Ally... Hurray for double figures!!! 99 days to go! I'm excited to say the same for tomorrow! Ohhh and approaching last week in second tri! More milestones met, guess next one will be full term, eek!

Hope everyone is well X

 

[pops23]

Thanks guys, are we going to move our thread over for 3rd tri? Xx

 

[pops23]

Ps yippee to double digits!!

 

[Scally]

Thank u kellie and pops! Didnt even realise until u said kellie!

I will ask mods if they can move it over when the time comes x

 

[time]

is it 26 or 27 weeks we're meant to hop over to third?

excited for double digits!!!

i've had a not so great week, had food poisoning from monday night and just as i thought it had passed on Wednesday, that night i ate for the first time in 2 days and it came back with a vengeance! finally starting to feel better today but i've never had food poisoning before and had no idea how awful it was, especially with all the horrid pregnancy symptoms on top!

had my midwife appointment today, she said i am measuring just over 2 weeks behind which got me even more worried but she said they will just check in again in 3 weeks and if i am still pretty behind then i will have to go for growth scans

 

[Inoue]

Id say 3rd tri starts at 27 weeks

Sorry to hear about the food poisoning, must be awful . Did the midwife say you were 2 weeks behind from measuring your fundal height? Many people have moaned on here that its not accurate and they've been put back because of it. I had mine measured at 21 weeks when in hospital but i was spot on. Even if they say you are... you get to see your LO more due to the extra scans

AFM, i feel like my dam heart is about to explode from my chest!! . Feels like its working in overdrive to keep my LO happy. All this extra blood is taking its toll on me

xx

 

[Scally]

Time- sorry to hear about your food poisoning, nasty anyway without the pregnancy on top too! Hope u feel better soon x

 

[Scally]

Oooh and happy double digits to kellie! X

 

[time]

thanks guys, yeah it was the fundal height measurement, not sure how it could ever be accurate but she did scare me.. and said we will just have to hope baby is due a growth spurt! we will just have to see!

time is going so so quickly is it for anyone else?

 

[Sarahcake]

Morning ladies hope you are all well and have had a nice weekend?

Sorry I've been a little quiet, we've had issues with the Internet so my access to here has been sporadic at best!

Today is a busy day, have my consultant review today and my 25 week midwife appointment. Hoping I can push the consultant for some info as to whether induction will be the plan for me or not. So I can mentally prepare myself lol

Anyone else got appointments or milestones going in this week then?

 

[kellie_w]

Hi everyone

Time, hope you are feeling better now. Food poisoning is the worst when is your next growth check? I'm sure baby will catch up by then and have had a big growth spurt

Ally, thank you! So excited to be on the countdown!

Sarah, good luck with your appointments, let us know how you get on! Hope you get the induction info you are waiting for!

Im feeling in limbo, off to third tri Saturday! I haven't really been coming in here now as posts seem to be irrelevant now, it's all gender guesses and 20 week scans which was ages ago for us! I have my 28 week check up bank holiday Monday, my midwife said about blood tests but I can't remember what they are for nor can I remember having them with Luke My bump is getting huge, I'm getting a bit fed up of the disbelieving looks when I tell them that I'm not due til mid November and no, there IS only one baby in there! And the comments from 2 passing girls, 1 with a tiny bump saying oh wow that's when you get to the stage at the end where you can't get comfy and can't sleep. I'm not at the end!!!!

Is anyone else feeling really well at the moment?! I'm enjoying these huge kicks and punches all day now, it's so amazing!! X

 

[time]

thanks kellie i am feeling sooo much better thankyou! back to my normal pigging out haha which must be good! my next growth check/midwife appt will be on 31st so hopefully will be a nicer experience! My midwife also mentioned i will be getting my bloods checked then, not sure what for but perhaps it's just the normal tests for pre eclampsia etc? not sure!

good luck today sarah, hope you get some answers! then you can begin to plan ahead (i hate not knowing!!)

i remember getting the same way in the last week in first tri kellie, nothing seems relevant and you sort of just wait around for it to be time to leave!

i am also feeling good at the moment, only complaint is that i am pretty uncomfortable during the night, but as soon as i reposition i'm fine! tried one of those fancy cushions but didn't get along with it so i've taken a load of pillows and stuffed them everywhere i can haha
