June Bundles of Joy - 2016

Squig34 - Congrats on team pink! I'm glad baby is healthy, lovely clear pics!


I have to wait till our next scan for pictures, I was given 3 free this time but one is of a potty shot and two are of baby's arm as she was lying curled up in a ball head down.

mommyxofxone - I'm glad that it's a normal thing lots of us have, the lady scanning said to the woman writing the notes that the placenta was not in the way of the exit whatever that mean!?, she didn't say anything to me though!


EHJ - that sounds like a good weight to me, I remember DS was tiny, consistently in the 25% percentile (he was under the 10% when he was born) and he was very healthy.

Aww Yay squig you were right!! So exciting! That's wonderful that everything looks perfect with your little lady! So very happy for you!

 

[wishuwerehere]

My placenta is posterior (just looked at the notes from my scan) and i feel a lot of movement from my belly button down so i could imagine having it at the front could definitely affect that!

 

[babyclements]

Congrats everyone on their gender results and health happy babies in there !! I have my anatomy scan tomorrow, hope to find out gender!!! My last appointment was 5 weeks ago, I hope the next 20 weeks go as fast as the last 5 have!!!

Vanilla low down covering can have potential issues. I know my friend had that and she wasnt allowd any sex and she wasn't allowed to pick anything up either. I remember having to watch her at work. She was fine but you have to just make sure not to strain anything. It's like placenta previa or something?

 

[Teeny Weeny]

How exciting babyclements. I hope baby cooperates for you. Xx

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I have my scan in the morning =) thankfully nice and early so hopefully get seen quick!

 

[Squig34]

When you have your scan, are you supposed to also supposed to see the midwife? Or does it depend on your hospital? I had the scan but didn't go down to the antenatal clinic afterwards so I didn't get my MATB1 form! I'll ask at my next scan if I forget to ring before then.

 

[Boo44]

Squig we get our MatB1 routinely at the 28 weeks appointment here X

So my OH just felt my baby kick from the outside for the first time

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Good luck tomorrow too Rhi. Xx

My trust don't do an antenatal appointment at 20 weeks, just the anomaly scan. My midwife is giving me an extra appointment at 24 weeks so I'll get my matb1 then - I can't wait to hand in my maternity leave request lol.

I've been struggling more with my pelvis since the weekend. This morning it felt fine and I went to work l, wearing my support like a good pregnant lady but by 12 I was almost in tears and having to take painkillers and I was on a relatively easy area for my ward. One of the nurse practitioners had to come and give me a hand and the GP even hugged me. How embarrassing! I was doing 3 people's work during a major incident due to admissions though.

I'm sorry to hear your hip problems are getting worse, it's such conflicting advice - the pelvic partnership site says that if your hips are misaligned a support belt can cause even more pain. Have you seen anyone recently for your hip? The fact that it's getting worse warrants some further help.




Good luck with your scans babyclements and rhi!

I'm under the women's health specialist physio for it. It was her who fitted me with the support belt. She said it probably won't make the pain go away but would hopefully stop it progressing and the rate it normally would. I had pain in the front last night which is a first this pregnancy. I wish I knew how bad it will be at its worst.

It varies person to person and pregnancy to pregnancy - it might not get much worse and hopefully wont, my hip pain started much sooner this pregnancy but with DS at this point I was in crutches so it's not progressing as fast as last time. I hope the belt stops it getting worse for you

 

[Squig34]

Good luck with your scans babyclements & Rhi

Gosh Dory that sounds so miserable. Sorry to hear you're in so much pain

 

[mommyxofxone]

good luck with scans today ladies!

dory- i'm so sorry about the hips. my mw suggested the belt too. i took at look at it in the store and tried it on and i gotta be honest i didn't feel a darn thing different. didn't feel like it lifted or eased anything.

 

[jalilma]
