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

[Inoue]

Hi ladies! Good to see you back kellie

Had my GTT and it went perfectly, nurse was really good with the needle so that helped. Had near enough a full bottle of lucozade to drink, and only had a 7 minute window to drink it in. Im not very good at drinking fizzy stuff fast . The hours flew by and before I knew it, it was done . Didnt even feel hungry which is a rarity for me.

I cant wait to hit 30 weeks, it definitely countdown stations then. Its just getting over this 27-29 weeks which is a pain. But then again, what a change from June x

 

[Sarahcake]

Woot glad it went well for you Inoue

How are we all today? Im looking forward to 30 weeks now myself, nothing exciting is happening that week, but it still feels like a milestone to me.

A friend sent me a big bundle of 3-6 months clothes which arrived this morning! Just had to pay postage. Got a ridiculous amount of clothes here now for £10 which im happy with. Means we have that period covered so we dont have to rush out and get a tonne of new stuff when he's out of 0-3.

GL to those of you with appointments, and more blood tests! My 28 week appt is a week today.

Finally 3rd tri for me I agree, this second half of the 20's does go so slow. Time has kinda dragged for me since 20 weeks though I think, with no scans to look forward to or anything. Still trying to talk OH into getting a 3D scan, but he's wary as we had it with DD and we never got to see her face as she was facing my spine every time we went! After 2 attempts we were offered to come back a 3rd and final time or just get a partial refund, so we went with the refund as I was already 30 weeks by then and we just knew she'd continue to be stubborn!

 

[Sarahcake]

Ooo that its an awkward one, its gonna be making your OH see that just because your daughter was awkward doesn't mean this little girlie will be, men can be stubborn with things like this lol

I really want a 3D scan, we just cant afford it at the moment, got a lot coming up in the next few weeks. And by the time we can afford it, ill be like 32/33 weeks...not sure if its even worth it then to be honest :S

 

[Scally]

Inoue- glad your app went well!!!!!!

Hope pop's appointment went well!

Lauryn- Happy 3rd trimester!!!!!!!!

I would love to have a scan now, but just can't justify the cost at the moment with everything else we need to pay for, would love to though to double check the gender and to see how big this baby is growing! lol

hi everyone!

Thank you ally for the offer of getting my chair, that's so kind of you! Went to asda, none left then I found one left in the wrong place! snapped that up quick! I really want one of the breast feeding pillows, but not sure if it's a wasted of money. I never had one before and managed ok. Think I just liked the design! I am tall, maybe it is that for us, we measure bigger cos of our height? I always measured spot on all through my last pregnancy. I am scared though, my sister kindly pointed out her little girl was nearly 10Ib and very painful thanks for that!

Lucky you pops going off on holiday! Where is Cyprus are you going? Hope today went well

Lauryn, hurray for third tri! Is that all of us over now? I am not allowed a 3D scan, it was either gender or 3D... Had to be gender! Keep trying with your oh, does he normally give in?

Sarah, well done for your bargain clothes! That's brilliant!

I have had such a result today, I sent my iPhone off to a company, quoted £187... They have for some reason credited by bacs to our bank £374 with a note saying the handset was lost upon delivery. It will take 3 days to reach our bank so trying to not get my hopes up but what a result!!! Would you keep quiet about it? We have so much to pay out this month, I am getting my new car today so it couldn't come at a better time and our wardrobe fell apart and has to be replaced but I feel I should say something incase it's a mistake.

 

[ttc_lolly]

Thanks Kellie He is usually quite easy to break hahaha, but I don't think he's going to give in this time. I can kinda understand why though - I was really disappointed we didn't get to see DD last time so wouldn't want to go through that all again and then only get half of our money back. We had the 16wk gender scan too, so that's another reason he isn't giving in. I can go without I suppose... I am definitely 100% having one done though for the 3rd baby (that I'm not allowed either!!)

Was it one of those company's that buy your old phone, like mazuma? I wouldn't say a thing, it's their mistake so unlucky for them! What a touch, well done! x

 

[Sarahcake]

Yeah I would be tempted to not say anything too Kellie to be completely honest. Companies dont tend to think twice about ripping you off so id keep schtum lol

 

[Scally]

I would keep quiet too Kellie!

Glad you managed to find a chair, nice that someone dumped it somewhere else! I have a breastfeeding pillow, had one with Izzy, I found them great but maybe that was because of the c section?
Nice of your sister to point out about 10lb baby! thanks for that! lol. I dont think i'd worry too much as c section anyway but i'd worry about clothing!

Hi ladies!

Well todays appt was... interesting shall we say

BP fine, urine fine, heartbeat fine (140, pretty sure bean was asleep). Fundal measurement was ahead though.. 29cm!

At 25+3 (their dates), I was measuring at 26cm but I knew that I was actually 26+1 as had baby had been measuring ahead at all the scans, but not enough for them to actually change dates (needs to be more than a week). Today at 27+2 (their dates) measuring at 29cm even though should be 28 weeks today according to baby growth, does that make any sense??

Anyway, then MW throws in to the mix.. 'oh so a low lying placenta is actually a medical condition'.. is it? I didn't know that! apparently means that holiday insurance will be void as it covers pregnant women, singleton pregnancy, no medical conditions! right..

She then very sweetly does me a favour, by passing it off as a growth scan, she books me in for a scan tomorrow at 12pm to check if the placenta has moved. If it has whoopee!! if it hasn't.. you're recommended not to fly. We're meant to leave Monday!!

When I had a bleed at 14 weeks apparently the placenta covered the cervix. at 20 week scan sonographer told me it was 2.5cm away but that was still low lying. I've just done some research and a vaginal birth is all good as long as its 2cm away minimum, which mine is. So is it still low lying? I guess we will find out tomorrow

So now I'm massively stressed about that, worried I will have a giant baby, and won't be able to go away, plus had a shit day at work. booo

Sorry for the pity party xxxxxxxxx

 

[pops23]

PS definitely keep quiet Kellie, you deserve a little payment! Going to Nissi Bay in Cyprus xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

I didn't know a low lying placenta was a medical condition!? I understand the need for a c-sec if it blocks the cervix but didn't know that was a reason not to go away? Unless you're at risk of pre-term labour!? Confusing!!

I measured ahead loads with DD and was told at growth scans she would be big, but she was teeny (5.5lbs!)!

 

[pops23]

That's good to hear!! I didn't know either, fingers crossed it will all be fine! Thanks hun xx

 

[Scally]

Pops- thats lovely that she has put you in for a scan, good luck for it today, hope the placenta has moved away! I didnt know it was a medical condtiion and you couldnt fly! Will keep my fingers crossed for you.
Seems a lot of us are measuring 29 weeks!

Lauryn- that must have been a shock for you measuring big and then having a diddy 5lb baby!

[Inoue]

Morning ladies

Hope everything goes ok pops with the scan, wouldnt of thought a placenta would stop you from flying .

Im starting my epic event of washing ALL of babys clothes today, got the whites in now, then I have a pile of pinks for afterwards. Bloody cold here in Lincolnshire though so may have to get the heating on to get them dry! X

 

[Scally]

Woohoo for baby clothes washing Inoue! I did 3 loads- whites, pinks and lighter colours and then one with bright colours! lol. They looked great on the line, but definitely feels cooler today so the heating on might have to be done!
x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Ally it was a huge shock! They'd told me to expect a baby close to 10lbs we didn't have a thing to fit her!

Oooh I've been itching to start on washing baby's clothes but I'm holding off. If I do break, I suppose it'll give me something to do again in a couple of months

 

[Sarahcake]

Ooo good luck with your scan pops, hope everything goes well

I'm itching to start washing stuff, but we're trying to get a new place so I don't wanna wash everything now because I'd likely have to do it again once we shift ...but I don't know when that's going to be so I don't want to leave it too late!! Argh decisions!

 

[Inoue]

Lol, its a lovely sight to see them on the line. Now on the pinks and sun is out so it can all be hung outside. Ive spent 3hours this morn weeding our front drive (not a small drive) and now my back is killing me! Still got all the front borders to do, then put weeding fabric down . Hate DH working every hour god sends.

Has anyone got any holiday ideas for 2013 with your new little bundle? Im looking at places in the UK (Nottingham, whitby area) but its abit of a come down for us as were usually jetting off somewhere exotic. Its wierd not looking at that anymore, its always just been me and DH x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Inoue why would you want to go to Nottingham on holiday!? I'm from there and it's not a holiday destination - trust me

We are going to either Menorca or Majorca next year. We did Majorca in 2010 when DD was young, and Ibiza this year and with the flight times being relatively short to the Balearics it's ideal with babies x
