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

[Inoue]

Lol, i was well proud with my shop. We went in my hubbys 2 seater sports car and OMG, every bump and nudge in the road made poor LO bounce around. She kicked the hell out of me all night for that! Last time i go in that i think!

My hospital gives us Lucozade which i love, but its the no eating that terrifies me. I woke up at 6am today as DH went to work and i was starving! I have cookies next to me so i had one of them but to know i cant have anything seems bloody harsh when you and baby are hungry x

 

[Sarahcake]

Ahh yeah, the not eating isn't nice What time is your appointment for it? Ive been lucky and mine have been 9am starts and I don't eat in the morning anyways but if your used to having breakfast then id imagine that isnt pleasant.

I know the car feeling! My friend has a car thats been lowered by lowering springs, you can feel every single dip in the road! Logan goes mad every time were in it lol

 

[ttc_lolly]

You get lucozade!? That's not fair we just get the standard drink, that tastes like piss poor cordial juice! I had mine at 9am too, and I rarely eat breakfast so I wasn't too bad. It was the waiting around that was the worst when I had it with DD but this time I took my kindle and time flew by

 

[Sarahcake]

I missed the part about lucozade! Lucky thing, the drink I had was bloody awful lol I love lucozade so would much rather have had to have drank that!

 

[Inoue]

Yep, we have orange Lucozade ~ yummy

My first bloods is at 8:30am then my second is 10:45am, i made sure i got the earliest appointment x

 

[Sarahcake]

Ahh thats not too bad then, just take something tasty to munch that you can eat as soon as you have that second lot of bloods taken.

 

[Inoue]

Ive got my list ready, im taking a flask of tea, two chocolate bars, crisps, cola, water and a book to read during the bloods, lol. Bloody picnic basically

Are we ok to take pre-natals (and iron) beforehand or do we have to wait till the test is over? x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Hmmm I'm not sure, I probably wouldn't take anything just incase

 

[Sarahcake]

Yeah Id be inclined to wait until its all over, will dig out the leaflet to mine, see what it says as im sure it mentions prenatals.

 

[Scally]

Inoue- big hugs for tomorrow, i was a wreck for mine beforehand, i took lots of food to have straight afterwards. Thats a good shop! I will have to go and have a nosy soon!

The blood test went ok, she took a long time getting the blood out, but she let me lie down then she got my a drink of water afterwards (think i went a bit pale!). Izzy was great she sat and "read" me a book 3 times!
I went back for my 28 week appointment, she measured my fundal height at 29cm! was quite shocked at that, hoping this baby isnt a 10lber! I talked to her about a pain that goes through from my tummy to my back quite high up, we discovered what it was when she pressed on my muscle there i hit the roof with the pain so think its all a bit sore in there moving out of the way for baby! She went through the breastfeeding checklist, did urine and said to go back in 6 weeks!

Inoue, I couldnt find my leaflet for the GTT so ive no idea about the prenatals I dont take mine until the evening with dinner so it wasnt an issue for me.

Ally, I don't know about the actual measurements so not sure if that's big or not lol Just looked in my notes and the midwife who measured me last time didn't actually write down what mine was, would have been interesting to compare as apparently I was measuring 2 weeks ahead at that point. Your appointment was pretty much what I thought would happen then, good to know what im walking into come monday lol

Glad all went well for you today

 

[Inoue]

Yeh i think i will hold off on the prenatal and iron till after the test

Glad you was looked after Scally, its not nice having bloods done . Thats a good fundal height, i just checked mine (as accurate as i could get) and i measured 24cm. Hope you dont have a 10lb'er! x

 

[time]

sarah you're meant to be a cm for every week, so at say 28 weeks you should be 28cm.. i was 2 1/2 weeks behind last time so hoping on Friday i have caught up a little.. don't feel like i have grown much in the last 3 weeks though so i'm not too hopeful, and my midwife made me feel terrible last time. I may have to go for a growth scan if i am still behind but not sure how behind you have to be for that to happen.. to be honest i wouldn't mind having another scan and seeing baby as it seems forever since our last one!

i went to asda last night but it just happens that everything they had in their event i already have haha that always seems to be the way! bought our pram yesterday and it gets delivered to the in laws house on friday or saturday can't wait to have a play!!!

glad today went well Ally, not looking forward to bloods but i've never really been a fainter so hoping i'll be ok!

 

[pops23]

Glad all went well today my love! I've got my 28 week appt tomorrow with bloods and anti-d injection, boooo. GTT test on the 17th sept, dreading it! Good idea to take snacks, thanks for the advice! Xxx

 

[Inoue]

All the best for tomorrow pops . I have my Anti- D on the 7th. We all seem to be getting jabbed with needles every 5 minutes! Good luck! x

 

[Scally]

Good luck with your appointment pops!

I think they like stabbing us all!

[kellie_w]

Wow 5 pages to catch up on! Good luck inoue for your GTT test tomorrow, will you get your results same day? And good luck pops for your 28 weeks appointment! Hi time, long time no see! Glad you doing well! Ally, glad your appointment Nd bloods went well, I was measuring 29cm too on Monday, I only just said to my sister I'm worried I'll have a 10Ib'er!

Well done on the baby event bargains! I want to get the bright start bouncy chair tomorrow, hoping they have some left. Watch out for the post if you are in the tesco baby and toddler club, they sent me a magazine today with some vouchers which will get you stuff like johnsons shampoo for just over a £1.

Im starting to feel like 30 weeks is never coming round! Anyone feeling the same? It's weird seeing this thread title now, June seems like ages ago! X

 

[Scally]

Hey Kellie!

Good luck with getting your chair, hope they have some left! If not let me know as I am going to Windsor Sunday and they have an Asda there I can see if they have one in stock?

You are tall aswell arent u? I was told last time if I measured on time it was going to be a big one, but i wonder if that counts for 2nd babies too?

30 weeks is taking ages to come round! After 30 weeks it feels like a proper countdown whereas these late 20's just keep plodding along!
This thread is so old now, seems a long time ago when we were waiting for our scans! Its almost September already!

Thanks everyOne! Were g

Whoops! Fat fingers on my iPhone!

We're going to an nct nearly new sale on 22nd sept so hoping to get bouncer and play may there.. Got my nappy sanitised yesterday, on sale at boots for £12.50 down from £29.99!

I'm hoping 30 weeks coming round won't feel too slow as we're off on holiday on Monday for 2 weeks and when we get back I'm 30 weeks the next day! If it goes slow it means the holiday is dragging which I hope wont happen! Going to santorini in Greece for a week and then Cyprus for one of my best friends weddings with all my school friends. Just hoping nothing goes wrong and going to take some seriously good flight socks!!

Will let you know how all th needle jabbing goes ;-) xx
