Starry I have a strong boy preference, not that it really matters I guess since we have one of each. Still, I do feel I would be disappointed if we find out ahead of time that it's a girl. So that's one reason I think I should wait until birth.

Lilmiss, I suggested that to DH and he said no way, we find out together. ugh

 

[StarryEyed88]

Buffy that’s cute! DH is dying to feel him kick!

Livvy I thought I’d be the same with this bub. I really wanted a girl but deep down I always thought it was a boy. I really couldn’t be more happy now I hope you get your second boy though. I had friends also say that if I thought I would be disappointed then I should wait. I must say you have much better will power than I if you can I am way too impatient hence finding out at 15 weeks instead of 20. Plus I really wanted more time to prepare

I'm sorry to vent ladies but I'm so sick of being sick. Hit 14 weeks today and still feeling "off" most of the day. Granted it isn't as bad as before but I still have that gaggy feeling in the back of my throat and my stomach still feels unsettled. I'm tired of living on Diclegis. I'm so ready for MS to be a distant memory!

Sorry you’re still suffering with nausea, I do feel for you I absolutely hated it for the 3 weeks I had it, can’t imagine what it would be like to have it still!

So we told the children and family last night. Safe to say everyone was shocked given my youngest is only 11 months lol x

Hey ladies just another update here. I'm still down with a bad flu here and was in hospital yesterday with respiratory complications, it's all been very scary and worrying. Going in for a scan today to check baby is ok because of how ill I was yesterday, they couldn't do any checks yesterday in A&E as there were no facilities for that in there. I'm hoping to see that little one is safe and well then maybe I can concentrate on getting better. Was already dealing with hypermesis when the flu hit so I really have not been having a great time in this pregnancy so far. I cant wait to start feeling better.

Will read through how everyone's been doing later when my head isn't pounding so much but I hope your all doing well. Xx

 

[eddjanuary10]

Loving your bump pics eppgirl!

 

[TexMel]

Oh my goodness, edd. I'm so sorry you have been so ill! Hoping you get a great scan and little baby is doing well. The flu is going crazy around here right now, too. And as a pharmacist, I am kind of surrounded by it all day when I'm at work, but I've been successfully avoiding it so far with a ton of Lysol and hand sanitizer.

Get better soon!

 

[Alligator]

EDD I'm so sorry for what you've been through. Praying all is well...keep us posted!

I'm quite terrified of getting the flu...it's on the news everywhere here how bad it is, and deadly. I have had a the flu shot but it's still scary!

 

[lilmisscaviar]

Lovely bump pics, Eppgirl!

So sorry to hear that, January! Sounds miserable to have that while pregnant with how sick you've already been. The flu is bad here this year too and it worries me, especially with the kids being so prone to getting it. Really wish spring would hurry up and get here so all these bugs will die off.

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Lovely bump


Lots of flu here too, my son missed his flu vaccine because he was ill so I’m trying to get him in for that somewhere. I don’t want him catching it! They won’t give my daughter one although she’s old enough they said I have to wait until December again?!

Can’t believe I’m already coming on 16 weeks, I have my next midwife appointment on the 30th. Can’t remember what they do but she told me they won’t listen to the HB now until 25 weeks! So glad I have a doppler.

 

[Buffyx]

Sorry the flu seems to be going around!

Im 17 weeks today, and spent the day at the hospital with my son who has a bad infection in his leg He got some nice strong antibiotics and is now fast asleep for the night.

What a day! I'm exhausted.

 

[Alligator]

Oh no buffy! Your poor boy. I hope he heals up fast. Not how you wanted to spend your night I'm sure.

16 weeks tomorrow for me as well and it seems crazy! Unique - that's interesting, at my OB appointments they listen to babe on doppler each time. My first one I was just about 14 weeks and the doctor found babe within a minute or so (I will say I am faster at finding babe at home lol). I think my next appointment is Feb 4? I go every 4 weeks until 26 or 28 weeks I believe.

 

[StarryEyed88]

Oh Buffy that’s awful. I hope he gets better quickly.
And yay for 17weeks. Time is just flying!!

Allie I wish I had a Doppler but now I feel him moving now it’s reassurance enough

 

[Alligator]

Starry I feel like i can feel flutters...every now and then...I don't think I'll know for certain it's baby for a few weeks though.

 

[Buffyx]

Well we are back again to hospital again with him. It's been horrible.

Yay for everyone feeling movement

 

[Alligator]

Poor thing...praying he get well soon!

 

[lilmisscaviar]

So sorry, Buffy. It's so difficult when our LOs are hurting and there isn't much we can do

My appointment on Friday can't come soon enough. I'm really hoping I'll have an official scan date then. I haven't seen baby since 6 weeks and it feels like a lifetime!
