Really achey girls, anyone else having lots of stretchy aches low tummy?
I've had aches on and off all through so far, especially since hitting trimester 2 they seem to have gotten sharper, sometimes even have to pause mid sentance until they pass....just everything stretching I guess hun, try not to worry!
Congrats Apple, awww little beany will have to have a new nickname then! Hmmm....not so little afterall eh? Very exciting!
) Gorgeous scan pics, look at that perfect little face, isn't it amazing to see baby has everything he or she should have so early on? Now grow, little ones!
Oops - You are an incredibly brave lady, I'm so sorry you have to go through all of this trauma but you are doing so amazingly. You're always in my thoughts dearie, and please remember if there's anything anybody can do we're all here for you.
In other news....
As my appetite's disappeared recently, I managed to persuade baby's daddy to pay for a private ultrasound at a London clinic on thursday to make sure all is going well with bubba's growth and to see how it's all going in there. The sonograper and receptionist were both lovely and asked if we wanted to know the sex as the sonographers there were able to make a 90% accurate estimate provided they have the right view.
All was PERFECT with bubba, the lady doing the scan tried for half an hour to get bub to move into position so we could tell the sex and got a perfect view of the spine, ribs, fingers, legs, toes and skull, as well as a shot of baby drinking the amni fluid!
After this 30 minutes, the lady asked me to empty my bladder and refill while walking around so baby would hopefully switch from laying on front to back while they scanned another patient.
Repeat this three more times until every other patient had been seen and the sonographer decided to try a '4D sneaky peek' to see baby's face while we tried to turn. I started cracking up as it was obvious straight away that baby has daddy's nose. :]
Ended up doing an internal scan to discover the sex in the end as bubba was having none of it (Even crossed legs over AND put hand in front of privates in a 'no way' kind of pose at one point haha!) and we discovered that this little baby is 90%.............
A LITTLE GIRL!!
Came away from the scan absolutely chuffed that not only was baby growing nicely and wriggling around but also that we can start to plan names etc...daddy doesn't want to know the sex so I'm having a hard time already not saying "she" and "her" ....excited very much so!!!
