June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[tinkerbelle93]

I just knew ds was a boy from the minute I found out I was expecting, the 20 week scan felt more like they were simply confirming what I already knew, rather than me finding out. I would have been shocked if we'd been told girl so I think it was better we did find out early because I think it would have been a bit strange to think boy for the whole pregnancy then give birth to a girl.

This time I have no idea! Pregnancy is very similar to last time but I don't believe that symptoms can indicate gender. I'm still set on team yellow, although accepted there's so much less choice with shopping!

Still no bump growing! I keep thinking I'm going to be really small again, I'm nearly 14 weeks and still a flat stomach. 6 more weeks and I'll be halfway through the pregnancy yet can't imagine I'll suddenly get big in that time.

I like the idea of a Facebook group - BnB isn't very phone friendly.

The only feeling I have at the moment I'd heartburn. From cottage pie (and yesterday ALL day).

Seriously though, no idea on gender here but will be interesting to see because symptom wise I think it's more similar to my pregnancy with my daughter so far.

I have officially moved into maternity trousers. I simply don't fit into my others any more. I have an obvious bump. Small but obvious. Previously I had a late blooming bump both times but this is my third so I guess the stereotype is true for me this time.

I don't have a Facebook...

We have only bought a glider. It's so comfy, and I find the rocking motion very relaxing!

We have a girl name picked out. A boy name will be a struggle. My husbands family has a naming tradition for boys that we don't want to continue, and I don't think his family will be happy about that.

I'm not sure about a Facebook group.. this thread is so active at the moment and it's really nice, so I don't know if a second group and having 2 separate places may effect that.

 

[medic76097]

Sort of lame to have the post reported. Anyway, there is a group should anyone want to join.

 

[gaiagirl]

I wonder if they have a notification anytime "facebook" is mentioned?

Thanks though, I might join closer to the time...I'm just a bit private with FB. Does it require being friends on FB to join?

 

[mommyxofxone]

Yeah I hope it's OK we stay here I feel more comfortable doing it here if that's OK ladies?

Just to be my friend. But you can do it on a limited profile so I can't see anything and just add you to the group. Once you're in the group then you can see what's posted thee

 

[medic76097]

There's no reason for anyone who's not comfortable to join. It was a fun thing for my last two and I made some really great friends from all over the world. There are ways to limit the amount you share with friends

Such a shame that it was reported. I find BnB really difficult to follow on my phone which is why I don't comment much.

I don't put loads on my facebook at the beat of times and my privacy settings are top because of my work. Nothing we post on the Internet is ever 'private'.

 

[Squig34]

Fair enough to have a FB group but I find this thread easier to use. There's another June thread which moves at lightning speed, I don't know how people keep up, but this one is very manageable!

Still feeling sick. & I got only a few hours' sleep due to insomnia. It's only Monday. Ugh.

Got my "12 week" scan next week. Bit gutted that it is for 1 in the afternoon. Everybody knows the later in the day you get there the further behind they are. You can expect to wait an hour over your appointment time even if it's at 10am lol. Ughhhhh. Oh well. I have my gender scan booked for the 17th of January =) excited about that one!! Does anyone know if the 12 week scan includes giving blood/urine. My letter doesn't say but I remember you do that at one of the scans.

Mine was 1.15 and I actually went in early as I was the first appointment after lunch.

Ohh that would awesome. Don't want to get my hopes up though.

I still have to find a babysitter for my other two as "no children allowed" but my appointment is during school holidays. Yikes. Might have to come clean about being pregnant haha. Unless I can come up with a good lie

 

[Starlight32]

Rhi have you done the standard blood/urine the tests to check for vitamin levels etc? My dr did that during my first visit/scan at about six weeks. They might have you do that if you haven't, but I don't think there is a blood test to do with 12 weeks specifically.

I had such bad pain where my left leg meets body, I had trouble walking this morning. I'm sitting now and hoping it gets better today. I don't want to struggle at work.

 

[Becyboo__x]

When do you take folic acid until?
I thought it was until you go into 2nd tri? But I've heard you take it all way through.. confused I'm sure I didn't with DS they told me to stop after 2nd tri

The 12 week/nuchal scan blood test is for the downs screening if you've opted for it, but there are no other blood tests and I wasn't asked for a urine sample.

My scan was at 1:15 too and we only waited around 10 - 15 minutes to be seen, hopefully it's similar for you. At least it came through and they didn't mess it up again. So exciting you have a private scan in January! I wish I could convince DH to let me have one but he says if we want to pay for 4D at the 20 week scan no other scans .

I don't understand why some places say no children, RUH allows them, I think they all should.

I'll have to give blood again then My bruise from my booking app is only just settling. haha, i'm such a peach/wimp

Maybe i'm getting the apps confused with the consultant clinics, they are in the same place at my hospital and i would always see one after my growth scans, and on the way in i remember having to leave a sample on a tray with my name on it.

I'm just on the website eyeing up 4d scans! Yikes, 159 quid. I have never had one though and this is probably our last baby. So i might just go for it. Babies are so expensive even in the womb haha

 

[vaniilla]

I tried to gloss over the cost with dh they are very pricey for what you get though, I'm not quite sure why it's so much?

I hope your blood test goes well, I go over to the blood department at the hospital when I need them, midwives and regular nurses are never able to get anything from my arms and usually go in my hand which makes black out
