All good =)

 

[Boo44]

Had my scan today 21+5 feel like I've waited forever for it! Little boy is looking great His kidney is 100% multicystic as we knew, but all else looked good and he is so so gorgeous!

I was so nervous I feel like a bit of a weight has been lifted. She checked all sorts for me - she made sure my placenta is away from my scars and she checked my cervix which is nice and long and she looked in such detail. So grateful right now.

Hope the other scans for today went well xx

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Rhi and Boo I'm glad all was well at your scans today. What a huge relief.
Mine is tomorrow and I'm feeling rather anxious about it. I'm hoping all is well. Xx

 

[vaniilla]

I'm glad the scans went well you too

Boo that's such great news and you can relax about baby's health now lovely scan picture

Teeny - I'm sure it will all go well tomorrow, stress is very normal before scans I was up all night the night before mine and wasn't able to eat anything until after the scan.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Here's a pic of my Baby girl =). Sorry my last post was blunt. Was struggling with the 3g etc. Going to book one of those fancy (4d) scans soon. Does anyone know when is best ? They say from 24 weeks so I don't know also my pram came =) and we have eyed up a newborn photogrpaher. Finally! We were struggling to find one we really liked the look of near by!

Lovely scan pic rhi

Woohooo for pram arriving! What does it look like?

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Beautiful pic Rhi. Xx

I have bought the Stokke scoot and ltd edition pink origami rose cabriofix for baby girl. Xx

I love seeing what prams other ladies choose. Such a variety to choose from. X

 

[wishuwerehere]

Glad all scans went well! Are many people left to have one at 20weeksish?

I'll be using my old babyjogger, although i am upgrading it to a travel system as my dd1s carseat is now past it's use by date! So getting a new maxi cosi that i can put on it with adaptors. However we sling a lot so I'll probably buy a bew baby carrier a bit nearer the time.

 

[Tinky_82]

Yay for good scans Rhi and Boo.
I'll be using our baby jogger but getting a carrycot for it as I think it would make getting out and about easier.

 

[Becyboo__x]

Glad all scans went well!

I'm feeling better after being in agony with back pain and stomach hurting.. must of been over doing it and stretching? .. I wore my belly band for a few days and seems to of subsided. Feels such a long wait for another appointment not til 28 weeks I guess it's only 4 more weeks though so not too bad!

It's V day for me tomorrow!! Another milestone down

I don't think we're getting a pram this time because it barely got used previously. We are very much a slingy family for practically reasons.

I love the stokke buggies, if ours hadn't been used for so little I would bought one


This is our buggy (our old bugaboo bee+ with a new hood, wheels and cocoon thingy)

 

[Boo44]

All the Prams sound lovely! I can't really buy another one as we bought a bugaboo donkey brand new when I had my second as we had 18 months between them. It's been great but looks a bit battered now. I think we'll get a new hood and footmuff to spruce it up a bit!

Ah so in love tonight with my little boy. Think we've almost decided on calling him Arthur Harry I don't plan on telling anyone his name irl. We also can't decide whether to tell people we know the sex or not!

Love the grey and red combo! I can't decide which colours to go for x

 

[Squig34]

What an adorable pic Boo! So glad everything else was good apart from his kidney which you expected. Nice name too. I like Arthur.

Glad your scan was good Rhi, cute pic

Hope all went well Jalilma & babyclements!

Good luck tomorrow Teeny!

I've no idea what pram to get. There are just so many to choose from. What are the key features I should look for from those of you in the know?? I'm going to start looking next month, I'll have at least made V-Day by then!

 

[karlilay]

Haven't popped in for ages. Congrats to all of your that have found out you genders. You have all got such gorgeous photos, my 20 week one was dreadful. My baby was squished in a ball.

We have a quinny that i brought second hand off the local selling site and a Maxi Cosy Pebble to go on it. I desperately wanted a Bugaboo Cam, but i just cant justify price when i will want a stroller in 5 minutes. I swap prams all the time....

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I literally just needed a pram that wasn't too expensive (as i spent 700/800 ish) on one not even two years ago for our youngest. And also one that our youngest could sit in, I couldn't find a sit down buggy board that didn't look like a complete pain in the arse. I wanted a bugaboo donkey but couldn't justify the cost when our youngest might not use it for long enough(he is two next week!). I found an Obaby zuzu for a pretty amazing price with everything included (literally saved hundreds) and just ordered it on a whim ! haha. It came today and i like it, pheww. haha

Go for the ones you like the most - the beauty of them is you can buy more in the future. Have a look on ebay too, there are very some good quality second hand ones too for when you want a different look.

How are you going to use it?
does it need to fit into a small boot?/ Do you have enough storage at home?
do you want a buggy that comes apart in two or folds down in one?
do you use public transport much?
how easy are the parts to replace?

Try them out in the shop and see which ones are easy to steer and if you can steer any with one hand.

If you're going to use it on public transport more than a car then go for something lightweight and easy to fold down if possible.

I know lots of people go for the travel systems but in reality we used the baby bits of our old travel system very little and the carrycot used to take up a lot of boot space.

Anyone using a doula? I've met with 3 already and not really loving the ones I met.

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Nah. Never really understood what a doula does? I think the idea of a strange women standing about whilst I give birth would put me on edge. I'm sure plenty disagree though as they are obviously popular... More so overseas though I think. I for example don't know of anyone who has used one obviously though I don't speak for the whole island

I Think it's important you really click with her though. Are there any kind of websites that come with recommendations etc ? Kinda like when you use them to search for nannies etc ?
