Glad all is OK Alli. It's good though that they are aware of everything and will be on to it if anything were to happen.

Fingers crossed it is like my first pregnancy and isnt going to turn in to anything sinister.
 
Glad to hear all is ok Alli xx

Had my 28 week appt today and still no GD:happydance:

Booked in for our birthing classes and my breastfeeding class so it’s all starting to be a bit more real now. Next appt is in 3 weeks.
 
How was everyone’s weekend?

Has anyone started kick counts? They told me to count 10 kicks in 2 hours. She usually kicks 10 times in like 15-20 minutes lol.
 
Everyone but myself was poorly at the weekend. I’m starting to feel a little nauseous though.

I haven’t started counting yet because he or she is constantly on the move anyway lol
 
I heard that kick counting is a little outdated. I just follow what is normal for my baby, and if anything changes I will call.

With my daughter, I would barely feel her move all morning, and then she would move a lot after lunch, and the most movement was after dinner.

This baby is CRAZY and moves pretty much all day long. So if I notice movements get less, I will know something is up.
 
Buffy you're right, my babe is moving all day long ( I mean not CONSTANT but enough every hour that I've never really worried), my doctor said to pick a time she's usually most active and count then but overall just to be aware of her kicks and movements in case I notice a change. I admit as an anxious person it could probably get obsessive to count kicks but I do know it's important to be aware of movements. My nephew was born early (only a week) as he basically stopped moving in utero, and they couldn't figure out why. He was okay, but he does have cerebral palsy (but is doing SO GOOD! Mild case) and they suspect it may have been an issue in utero that caused it, he had a bit of a traumatic birth and was born not breathing. Obviously it was good my SIL was aware and went to the doctors to make sure he was okay!
 
It's nice to read everyone's updates. Hard to believe that we're to the third trimester! I've been dealing with some crazy rib pain on my right side that doc says is costochondritis (sp?) which is an inflammation of the cartilage in my ribs. I had it with my daughter but not this bad. Anyone else?

A couple of weeks ago, I sent my hubby to a daddy/daughter dance with our daughter and I was all set to enjoy some down time and I got some severe pain on the left side of my back. It got so intense and painful that I started throwing up. I had to call my husband back home and head to the hospital. They think it was a kidney stone, but because they can't do a cat scan, there's no way to be sure. I'm feeling much better now though. Scary though!

I think my nesting is kicking in early. I've been compulsively organizing our entire house. I still have so much to get ready for baby boy's room, but we've at least started getting it ready. I'm so eager to meet him! I'm jealous of those of you getting 4D ultrasounds. With my last pregnancy, our doctor's office had the option of switching between 3D and 4D, so I got to see our girl in 4D for free. We've moved since then and this office doesn't do that so I think it'll just have to be a surprise when we finally see him. I hope those of you that do end up getting a 4D scan will post pictures!
 
I have so much to do to get ready for babe as well and it's making me anxious but I also just don't know where to start and feel overwhelmed so I haven't started lol. DH works this weekend and then next weekend we are away for our wedding anniversary/babymoon but the weekend after that...we will get to it, and make some progress. I know not everything has to be 'in place' for when baby comes, it doesn't need to be perfect, but I want to at least get started and get the junk cleared out!
 
hey lovlies!

I am doing pretty well... having lots of headaches recently, accompanied by swelling of my ankles... a little nervous, but have an appt on Thursday, so will get it all checked out then.

I haven't prepared literally anything for when this baby decides to show up. I've got 2 sleep sacks that are actually for around 12/18 months:haha: a few swaddling blankets... uh, a swing, bouncy seat and a playpen... that's it! :shrug:

I'll just wing it i guess...or get everything ready in June :haha: I'm a procrastinator by nature, and having this be #4, guess that makes it easier to know what I"m looking for!

I may ask for another ultrasound to see if we can sneak a peak at the gender...no clue if the ultrasound will happen, or if we do get one, if we will see anything, but curiosity has defo gotten the best of me this go around and now I'm dying to know :haha:

Does everyone have names picked out for their babies? I'm super stuck... we keep thinking girl names, but have literally 0 for boys. not sure what to do about that because I feel fairly picky. :dohh:
 
With my daughter we had literally everything ready to go by now. This time, I just think ‘as long as we have some baby grows and the car seat everything else can wait’ don’t know where this new laid back person came from! If worse comes to worst I will just have to send hubby to the shops when baby is born.

We have 2 names for each gender picked. Cannot bear to look through any more baby names so one of those will have to do!
 
We are having a girl and have 3 names picked...we'll choose when she's born, but truth be told in my heart I know what my favourite is and that's her name...I think hubby disagrees and likes another name best haha. So we'll see when she's born!
 
We still haven't agreed on a name and it is making me anxious! I have a favourite, and DH says "if nothing better comes up we can use it." But I want us to both love it. I just don't think it's going to happen.

I have a bit still to set up for the baby, but once we get back from our babymoon next Friday, I will be focussing on my hospital bags! I have a pile of stuff in the baby's bassinet, but haven't been able to really pack anything yet because we will be using the hospital bags for our babymoon trip :haha:
 
We had a first name picked out before we knew if we were having a boy or girl so the day we found out it was a girl, my husband goes 'ok, let's pick this middle name today so she has a name and we know what to call her'. So we've had a name all picked out since 12 weeks lol.

So far we only have furniture but our first shower is next week and I can't help but peek at our registry and we are super lucky in that most everything I registered for has already been purchased. I'm going to have to add more to it which is amazing and we are beyond lucky for such amazing friends and family. So, after that shower, we should pretty much be ready for baby. Weird to think she will be here so soon!
 
Hi, I don’t think my partner should have a choice in the name. He’s decided to move back to his hometown in Preston. He decided he wanted to go on the Monday night and by Tuesday morning he was gone. The children didn’t know he was leaving until 30 minutes before. I’m now being emotionally abused into moving there with the children which he knows I don’t want to do anytime soon. “Don’t you love me, if you did you’d move” “don’t you want a good life for the kids, obviously not” “what about me and my feelings” I’m so sick of it. My stupid fault for saying I’d move one day but not anytime soon (I have my family here) and he said I’ll give you a year. GIVE ME?! I literally feel like I’m being pressured into this. The kids are happy at their current schools, they like living here it’s just him. Just because he doesn’t want to be here means we can’t be either. I’m so angry. He’s now trying to get a place of his own and he’s expecting me to go up there with all the kids a week after I give birth for 6 weeks? I’m sorry but that’s just ludicrous!

-rant over-
 
Awww sorry hun. You shouldn't have to move. Where are you compared to Preston? X
 
Unique that is so upsetting! I can’t believe anyone would think that’s okay, with a wife who is 7 months pregnant no less and other children. Giving ultimatums like that is not mature or reasonable behaviour at all. He’s being so selfish I’m sorry.
 
Unique, I'm so sorry to hear this! It sounds like he is being very manipulative and selfish. He is putting you and your kids in such an unfair position. I hope you can work this all out :hugs:
