I have my 12 week scan tomorrow at 13w 6. It will be my 4th scan but at least at this one I can have photos as its not in the epau really looking forward to it.

we have the crib
I bought the baby a gender neutral cuddle blanket/stuffed animal (it's a monkey that rattles and the blanket says bananas over mommy)
and a gender neutral winter sleep sack with monkeys on it...because it was on clearance for $1.87 after Christmas

Ultrasound on the 9th of February, and hoping we find out, as with my DD I was forced by my ex to do gender neutral because he was praying that the ultrasound was wrong and our DD was magically going to grow boy parts.
I have a very strong desire to do the whole pink or blue thing (although not strictly)
I've been eyeballing an outfit that is more boy but I will be getting it either way, as it's to cute and OH will LOVE it. It's black and has guitars over it, and it says "Daddy's Little Rockstar" and my OH is a hard rock fanatic, and plays the guitar.
Sometimes I wonder how a country/Christian girl and my long haired, rockstar, concert going OH make things work....we are COMPLETE OPPISITES!!

I almost got that same little monkey! I almost got the little outfit like it too They are so adorable!

Hello Ladies.

Has anyone bought anything for baby? I didn't buy anything till I was over 30 weeks with DS I don't want to again... this is a problem

So far, I've got:
pretty much a full newborn wardrobe! (some gender specific bits which not needed ones will be going on eBay!)
Petite Travel Cot
Baby bouncer for upstairs (mummy showers & baths etc)
3 Soothers
2 Bottles

And parents have ordered my Pram and Car Seat

Now sitting back to wait to see what baby is before getting some bedding and blankets. And will probably order cot in March which is being paid for by Grandad.

 

[BeccaMichelle]

We haven't bought anything. Still have things left from Jessie like crib, highchair, baby bath etc. but I don't have any intention to buy anything else until we find out the gender. Which will hopefully be early next month!

 

[oneandtwo]

That sucks..sorry to hear that..i work in a doctors office and i feel like only half the office staff tries to do things convenient for the patient and everyone else only cares about themselves. which isnt right!

has your OH already left? how long will he be gone for?

He hasnt left yet, and this time when he goes its only two Weeks which makes it more frustrating cause its not like hes gone that long!

forgot to post this the other day

I think its a boy

I have my 12 week scan tomorrow at 13w 6. It will be my 4th scan but at least at this one I can have photos as its not in the epau really looking forward to it.

Good luck with your scan!


We havent boughy.for baby, probably wont for a while. We only need some onesies, maybe a couple outfits and some socks newborn size diapers...and thats like it! I'll probably make a few.blankets and a mei tai carrier.

Thank you ladies for your kind words and thoughts. I have been lifting patients but I've been trying to use my legs as much as I can. Though that's really what should be done anyway.

Speaking of bra sizes, I finally bought myself two maternity/nursing bras and I measured a 36 DD!!! I was a 36 C before pregnancy. But it was do great having the correct size. I could tell a major difference in the comfort.

We haven't bought anything for baby yet. We're waiting till we know what we're having. But we want to start buying diapers and wipes. I should start stocking up on bath essentials, nursing gear and such.

My anatomy scan is on feb 6th too !!!

 

[alannadee]

so far we have:
2 moses baskets, i bought one and my mum did as well! so we will use one upstairs and one downstairs,
some clothes,
a play mat,
bottles
newborn nappies
maternity pads
breast pads
wipes

we are going to buy something each time we do a shop so that we build up a store of nappies and stuff like that.

 

[Lauki]

I've bought an infant carseat, because it was a bargain! It's the one that clips on the pushchair I have for my toddler now. Other than that nothing and probably won't buy much at all! We still have most bits.

I had my first consultant appointment yesterday and have to come back for lots of appointments. I'll even get growth scans at 28 and 34 weeks, which I really didn't expect! It would all be lovely, but the hospital is 40 minutes away by car. But I don't own a car! So will have to rely on other people to drive me or hubby to take time off work! Suppose we'll just have to work it out!

I'm a little over 16 weeks now and getting lots of cramping again, but still no movement! How do I stop worrying? I'm driving myself insane!

 

[Pink Flowers]

I have my next scan on the 12th March, i feel so behind everyone else.

Oneandtwo - funny you should say boy because everyone else has said girl! Not long till we find out, hopefully!

Hope is everyone? x

ugh I wish I had a date through for my 20 week scan. The midwife said the hospital usually sends the letters out really close to the date, so I haven't heard yet. She said she reckoned it'd be about 7th Feb but she couldn't say for sure.
She said if I haven't heard anything by about a week prior, then I should ring the hospital.

On the flip-side I have got my date for my GTT which is 5th April! So backwards really! lol

I'm a little over 16 weeks now and getting lots of cramping again, but still no movement! How do I stop worrying? I'm driving myself insane!

I have no movement yet either (I'm 16+6). Perhaps we have anterior placentas? If you're concerned about the cramping maybe you should ring your midwife and explain your worries. I'm sure it's nothing, but just for your peace of mind x

Our hospital gives you the appt there and then. Which I thought was quite good as we had to wait last time.


I have pops, but I think it might be wind but my friend has an anterior placenta and is 21wks and hasn't felt baby yet x

Alice, what is GTT?

I'm not sure if I've felt any movement. A couple weeks ago, there were two days when I thought I felt the little guy but I haven't felt that same sensation again. It was when OH was away and I was really missing him, so maybe the baby was telling me things were ok and that his daddy would be back with us soon.

glucose tolerance test, I have to have one because my dad is diabetic and I have a high BMI.

Is anyone "slimming" in pregnancy, I have to see a specialist mw and then I am pretty sure she is going to tell me to go to SW. I dont know how I feel about it.

 

[pandaspot]

I have just got back from having my scan. Everything is really good baby was kicking around like crazy and punching lol, the person doing the scan even said it was super wriggly lol

She did say I have two fibroids, one measured 2.4cm the other 3cm. So I will see a consultant next week, she said it was well away from the placenta so shouldn't be anything to worry about. I don't know what fibroids are so I won't worry. I will google it, probably stress myself out

Can any one see a nub on the photo? If I can attach it lol

 

[Lauki]

I had an anterior placenta with Sophie, and I didn't feel her until 20ish weeks I think!
So I think everything's fine! I've also read that the babies go through a massive growth spurt starting around 16 weeks, doubling in length and weight over the next few weeks! Pretty cool !

I googled where to look for the heartbeat at 16 week as I couldn't find it for ages. So I followed the instructions and it was there straight away and I could also hear movement . I hate the panic! So glad I still got the doppler from with Sophie!

 

[Lauki]

I have so many appointments coming up...

I have 20 week scan, VBAC app, GTT, 28 week scan, consultant, anestaesia guy, 34 week scan and then one or two more consultant ones. And then still all the routine midwife checks.

It seems so weird to me as my pregnancy was 100% straight forward with Sophie!

unrelated to your actual post sue, but I get a kick out of the fact that you are 2 days further into your preganancy than I am, but due the day after me. Sorry. It struck me as funny, while running on 3 hours of sleep today. Getting ready to pull a double. Have a great day....couple of days....I'm going to sleep while I can.

 

[alicecooper]

myra - yeah Glucose Tolerance Test. They did one during my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies as well, because I always have big babies.
It has never yet come back positive for me, so I'm totally convinced that me having one this time round is a waste of time, but they insisted.
