June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[gaiagirl]

Joo congrats on 34 months that's
amazing. I understand how you feel, it's been 3 weeks now for us and it's very bittersweet. ❤❤❤

I had a home birth with DS and am hoping to again, I am a bit more nervous this time...just for the logistics of where DS will be and how he will feel etc etc.

I think I've felt baby a couple times today

Our names are Emma for a girl and James for a boy.

A little over a week til we know. Although I'm quite sure its a boy.

I love James. We considered it last time

Vanilla - I'm AB+, but I got anti FYA antibodies from the transfusions I had when Xander was born. No one is sure now whether I can have emergency blood or whether any blood I have also needs to have the Anti FYA antibodies to be compatible.

Apparently there's a very small chance there could be a similar reaction as the rhesus negative one.

I know the babies cord blood will be tested but I'm not sure what for.

Home birth isn't an option for me but it was never on my radar anyway. I did want to go to a midwife led unit which has lots of birthing pools, but that's not an option now either. I can imagine that being in your own surroundings would help you feel more relaxed, but I always wanted to be at a hospital in some capacity! I hope it's possible for those of you who want a home birth to have one though

I might be a part of the blue bump club in two days I think we will find out sex as long as baby is in a good position and it doesn't prolong the ultrasound.

Do we only have one blue bump still!?

Good luck with the scan =) hope baby cooperates

Everyone is convinced I'm on team blue again here. Xx

pixie - they should definitely put that on your notes and have some blood set aside for you at the hospital, AB+ is the second rarest blood group and won't be easy to source in an emergency - they need to take precautions.

I'm not for a home birth - I don't want to associate my home with labour and I want pain relief this time! I'm hoping they'll be able to give me a mobile epidural. I wish I could use gas and air but it made me want to vomit

I'm no expert teeny but the nub on your scan pic looks more girly to me x

Hi ladies..

All family think blue. Funnily enough when I posted my scan in the gender prediction forum everyone said girl and there were no boy guesses at all!
Either the nub theory works or family intuition does!
It will be interesting to see. Xx

Welcome to the group ehjmorris

 

[ehjmorris]

Thank you i cant wait to find out what sex! As for names we are using oliver henry james for a boy (middle names are in respect of my first who is an angel) and ava may rose for a girl.

 

[GeralynB]

Welcome! I added you to the front page

 

[ehjmorris]

Thank you

 

[Becyboo__x]

8 days til my 20 week scan!

Even though I know gender be nice for it to be confirmed again just in case but I can't wait to see her again and that she's okay! Been 3 weeks since I went for private scan gone so fast!

 

[GeralynB]

My anatomy scan is on the 22nd and it'll be nice for gender confirmation since I was only 14 weeks when I found out. My sister said she was 98% sure if was a girl when she did the scan

 

[Tinky_82]

Welcome ehjmorris.

Ladies who are feeling movement - how far to the side do you feel it? I felt some taps way over in my right hand side this morning but it seemed too far over - what do you think?

HI ehj!!! nice to have you here! Love the names

i think i'd be too anxious (i'm super anxious) to have a home birth, i would make something go wrong i bet that normally wouldn't.

 

[AngelofTroy]

Hi ehj :wave:

I am hoping for a midwife led birthing unit within the hospital so I'm nearby if anything were to go wrong. The ve had three close friends need emergency intervention so although my previous birth was relatively simple I don't think I'd feel relaxed at home.

Movements are still so sporadic here, I got loads the other day and then none for two days, slight tapping today. Nothing to write home about. I wonder if I have anterior placenta this time?

 

[GeralynB]

I definitely felt more movement early on with my son but that was a posterior placenta. This time I've felt a few movements but not too much. I have an anterior fundal placenta this time
