June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Starlight32]

I think I'm leaking urine. It feels a bit damp but it's not discharge it smells weird. I hope it's not amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluid doesn't smell right?

Congrats on Joey

I have this but my pelvic muscles are useless from having DS ..

I've heard amniotic fluid smells sweet not like urine at all and Is colourless put on a pad if your worried you should be able to tell then

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Are you sure it's not discharge? I have an absolute abundance some days. I think the hormones give a smell (not unpleasant) that seems to change. Xx

 

[ehjmorris]

Hope you are all doing wellxx

Well i had my anatomy scan today and bub is still measuring smaller in most areas, tbh im not expecting to have a big baby but its still worrying he might just stop growing

I got for my ante natal appt next week so that they can either keep my due date or change it... but i know when i had my period, ovulated and had sex so I don't understand...

 

[Squig34]

Is the hospital concerned ehj?

Congratulations on Joey!


Scan went well. Anatomically all is perfect & growth is within normal limits (measuring about 20 weeks & I'm 20+5). Weight 12oz & hb 148 - both normal. Pics below. & as expected, it's a girl

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Ehj, do they think the measurements are small because your DD is off a little? They don't usually change the date after the 12 week scan do they?
Will you continue with frequent scans still too. I'm sorry to hear that the scan didn't ease your worries.

Squig, congratulations on team pink. Xx

 

[ehjmorris]

Sorry i still haven't worked out all the code words lol what's dd?

Im not entirely sure what they are goingto do from here because i know my dates and i will always go off lmp
His weight was 8.3oz

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Is that on the notes somewhere? No one mentioned a weight to me

Did they say everything looked normal and healthy, just on the smaller side? I'm sorry you're having such worry, I hope you get some reasonable answers and support at your next appointment

I'm back from our scan! everything they could see looked very good but baby was lying awkwardly so we've got to go back for the heart and face measurements, she was very nice if not a bit heavy handed to try and get baby to move.

We're on team Pink! Isabella will still be the first name, now just need to pick out a middle name

wishuwerehere - I would complain, she sounds very horrible and unprofessional, there is no way that kind of treatment is acceptable!

Congrats on team pink hun!!! how exciting! and i love that name!!!! if i had had my way dd would be isabella. dh said no, but i have no idea why!

Thank you guys

It says I have an anterior placenta which probably explains the minimal movements. Is this quite common? it seems quite a few of us have this.

i have the same placenta, and did with dd too. didn't feel her til 21 weeks for teh first time. this time he kicks everywhere but where it is. However, he just started kicking through it too. he's gaining power!

Hey all, well I had my scan yesterday and it was cofirmed that we are having another wee boy (and even better is that everything looks perfectly healthy). I am over the moon and so chuffed that Ethan is getting a little brother. I grew up with one sister and our relationship was great, so I'm hoping that two little boys can be the same.

I'm a little disappointed at other people's reactions though, why would people assume that because it isnt a girl I'm not happy. I'm lucky enough to not only have one child and be pregnant with another, but to have two healthy children, I am more than blessed. Someone even assumed that I'd be having another one now that I've got another boy so that I can get a girl.

Hope everyone is keeping well.

congrats on the boy! lovely news!!! If i had had a boy first, i'm sure i'd have wanted two boys. i had a girl first, and i wanted another girl. That special brother bond or sister bond always seems so amazing! and i keep getting comments about how being a boy mom is so much better. Seriously? Half those people dont even have a girl. Makes me sad for my girl! people are so rude!

I think I'm leaking urine. It feels a bit damp but it's not discharge it smells weird. I hope it's not amniotic fluid. Amniotic fluid doesn't smell right?

I bet it's just discharge hun. And that can smell weird. and urine can smell like ammonia. and fluid smells sickly sweet i've read. I only know cause my discharge in the last pregnancy and this one at times has been so abundant that i looked it up cause i freaked myself out. was always just discharge.

Hope you are all doing wellxx

i doubt they'll change it. some people just have small babies. please try not to worry! it's so hard not to but try.

ehj- my boy measured 9oz at his 18 weeks scan. they told me that's totally normal. it's the 58%. and normal babies are 6-7 oz at 18 weeks. I wouldn't worry at all! sounds like he's above the norm!


had my appt yesterday, hb 154, all normal. told i can't decline the gtt which is bull i can do whatever i want with my body i was told by the dr. i was shocked the mw said no i had to do it. I dont' have any risks wth? i'll talk to dh about it. just trying to save money.

They said he's in the 58% at 9oz at 18 weeks. They said totally normal. i never heard of that in the womb before lol.

Oh yes apart from being small everything is looking good i am just happy he is alive and healthy, its just hard not to worry

They didnt mention his weight at all to me i just happened to see it when they went back to look at all the measurements

Squig - ahh what wonderful news for you! Isn't it great how you just 'knew' the sex both times. I have never ever been able to tell in fact I thought my first was a girl! You must be so relieved after your experiences of iugr with Adam xx

Joeybrooks - congrats on team blue! My boys are 18 months apart and are as close as anything I absolutely adore it I also like sexes the same for siblings although really, we get what we're given don't we! Join the club with those stupid comments you can imagine what I'm getting now I'm having my third of the same sex! 'Is this the girl then?' 'Oh never mind you'll have to try again' blah blah blah

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Everyone always has something to say we keep getting oh good, you're done now then with one of each, it's perfect. Makes me want to say actually I wanted another boy! I can't say that though because people would think I'm not happy and I'm over the moon.

Dhs boss has 4 boys and they desperately wanted a girl, I think they carried on having kids just for a girl really. He told dh this morning when he found out we're having a girl "some people have it so easy"

Dh replied I'm not sure you can call 4 years ttc and two miscarriages easy! I think he made his boss a bit uncomfortable but the silly bugger deserved it.

 

[Squig34]

Boo - yes, it's a great relief to have gotten this far with everything looking normal. I know we're not definitely out of the woods yet, but that things are on track thus far is great. I've been telling lots of people at work today, it's quite exciting

 

[Teeny Weeny]

I meant due date in that context honey. Xx

Oh my word I can't believe some people! Who would actually say that? My brother has 4 daughters. I'm sure he was hoping for a son, he used to say it quite often. But he would never say anything to me about my boys. We get what we're given. It is very hard to want one gender or another but when you see what people go to just to get to the end of a pregnancy or to achieve even one healthy baby we just feel so lucky like you said x

So My son hit me in the eye this morning in his sleep. Just got back from the eye doctor and my cornea is scratched in 2 places :/

This is pretty much what I've said to two relatives now, I was like seriously? you think I put my body through surgery and drugs just to have a girl? why can't people just keep their stupid opinions to themselves I think in a lot of people's minds having a baby is a very easy thing to do, some think you can time it down to the month and therefore the only problem you could possibly face is the gender.
