July/August (Summer Sunbeams) 2012!

[puppycat]

Yeh! I didn't have any more scans after 20 weeks with Laura but she was born 17 days early at a healthy 7lb 8oz and I'm only 5'3" so very thankful she wasn't any later! I bet if they'd measured her later on it'd say the same!

I was put forward 3 days at my 12 week scan AND now he/she's measuring ahead a week. Crazy growth when you think how sick I was before!

emz your scan pic is awesome. where did you go?

We went to The Hendon Clinic which was the same as when we had our son so just stuck to what we know. I love it there. If we didn't live so close to London we probably would have used Babybond x

Hi Lusterleaf

 

[CarliCareBear]

Hello Lusterleaf

Went to the MW yesterday and all my gluscose stuff came out perfect, heartbeat was 166bmp and nice and strong MW said she was laying sideways which makes sense bc it always feels like she's lounging across all of my organs lol andd we get to check off one big thing off the registry, the carseat. So now I have this huge box in my living room and looking at it reminds me of how real this actually is...maybe surreal is a better word....either way its a weight off my shoulders knowing we got the one we wanted AND it was on sale Now all we need is Miss Lilie to get here so she can use it

Well, am officially into the double digits! Yay! Makes me excited, but sad at the same time!

as much trouble as I've been having this pregnancy, I'm going to miss watching him kick around in there. It's my favorite part of my days.

We've gotten pretty much everything major we need. We still have our crib, bought a bassinet, a new car seat and playpen. Have decided we will probably use our stroller from our DD for the time being since I won't get toooo much use of a new one this summer. Got my breast pump and some clothes for the little guy. I'm lucky I bought a lot of gender neutral stuff with my DD, like the burp cloths and what not.

I know what you mean though Mamabear! The playpen is sitting in the living room and I desperately want to unpack and set it up!! Think I may this weekend! Just to see, you know! lol

 

[puppycat]

ooooh does that mean I'm in double digits too?? (posting to see!) lol

 

[puppycat]

eeeek! yes 99 days to go!!

Congrats on the double digits! Who here who his having baby in their room tO begin with has cot and stuff set up. I haven't yet but made a deal with oh that we'd put it up at 35 weeks (he has to move his computer out to make space) does 35 weeks sound about right?

 

[TTCinBC]

We are only having LO in our room for the first few months. Just til he's sleeping through the night better. He will be sharing a room with our 4 yr old as our 3rd bedroom is downstairs and we dont feel comfortable being away from either of them right now. So for the time being he will be with us and DH can sleep in the spare room if he needs to on work nights.

We will probably set things up slowly over the next few months just to spread it out.

We are using the crib we had with our son which lasted the six months we kept him in with us. We'll be using it again this time x

Congrats Puppy on the double digits!!! They will be here before we know it!!!

Bit of a panic post.

I've had reduced movement last night (normally very active in eve but hardly any movements, counted maybe two light movements) listened for hb on my Doppler found it low down but seemed fine. Then this morning I woke up and realised I hadn't felt him move, he didn't move until I'd had breakfast then I counted 10 in 20 mins.

So do I stop worrying because I've felt those ten movements? I still feel like it's a lot less and less obvious movements.

 

[puppycat]

My midwife told me 10 in 24hrs so i'd say you're fine. Keep an eye through the day, they say to have a cold drink and sit quietly for half an hr before you call x

 

[apple_20]

Thanks puppy cat it's confusing because during the day I wouldn't expect 10 kicks in an hour (some advise I've heard) but in the eve it's very rare for him to be quiet.

 

[Emz1982_in_uk]

I agree apple. As you felt a flurry little man appears ok but keep an eye on it.

I had the exact same thing 2 weeks ago. This girl literally squirms and kicks morning, noon and night. I am talking alien bursting out of chest movements. Then one day hardly much in comparison. I was starting to worry by the evening and then thought about it and realised I'd definitely felt more than 10, but just not as frequent or strong. Normality resumed the following day. I'm convinced she had a growth spurt x

 

[lolalei3]

I think it's only natural to worry, i do the same thing! she seems quieter during the day but apparantly we rock them to sleep with our movements like walking, driving in the car. I think it's normal to have days of reduced movements as they are using up a lot of energy with all that growing! also if they are facing inwards sometimes we may not feel them moving, lots of reasons! but it never hurts to call your midwife/doctor if you feel something is not right, the worst they will do is just think your being paranoid but who cares?

 

[apple_20]

Thanks felt him moving about at lunch so feeling much better. I'll see how it goes if he's quite tonight I'll prob give my mw a call. He just moved as I typed that!

 

[Bug222]

my little critter has very clear what I call "growth" days. Barely any movement at all. It really freaked me out the first few times... but now seems to have gotten into a pattern of a couple "growth days" then a few crazy baby days. That being said def call your MW if your gut feeling is that something isn't right.

 

[TTCinBC]

My little guy just had what I'm thinking was a growth day yesterday too. At least that's what I chalked it up to be. I did feel him move off and on through out the day/evening. But not nearly as much as he's been moving. He's back at it again today, and I'm EXHAUSTED and starving today! So that's why I was just guessing growth spurt. He seems to have a few days off and on where he does this.

My first, she was sooo quite all the time. I used to have to move my belly just to make her move a bit. But that was normal for her and I didn't know any better, so I didn't worry.

OMG cant believe i'm in double digits today This pregnancy has certainly gone fast. I just know what baby is not long going to be here. I cant wait to meet my baby but i missed been pregnant soo much & i know i'm going to feel the same again.

Had a really strange dream last night, me & my mum were watching my belly move & all of a sudden the baby moved its head through my belly so you could see its face but under my skin. It was sooo strange & was actually the first dream i've had where i'm pregnant.
