June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[GeralynB]

I have my first midwife appointment tomorrow and I'm having a scan. We'll know for sure if the second scan is gone or not. Or there's still a very small chance that a twin could be there

 

[tinkerbelle93]

That's great news pixie!

Hope your scan goes well for you tomorrow Geralyn x

Iakyri that's so cool you already know the gender, I was reading the other day how a blood test can tell you from 7 weeks now which is pretty amazing.

Becyboo - I had to ring up today to chase because I haven't had my booking appointment or notes through the post (scan gets booked at the booking in appointment where I live). Apparently there had been some confusion because my last pregnancy ended in mc (3 months ago!) so I got lost in the system. They can't fit me in for my booking appointment until 2 weeks today when i will be 12 weeks so goodness knows when i will get my scan. I would definitely give them a ring for an appointment in case they have missed you. Were you wanting the NT screening? I think that has to be done by 14 weeks, I am worried I won't get seen in time :-/

Midwife books a scan when I see her but I've still not heard back they didn't tell me anything I just filled out a form which I've never done and they faxed it to midwife that was for an appointment and urgent because of my dates.. but it's nearly been a week and I've heard nothing yet.. I'm assuming I'll get a letter but I dont know if I dont gear anything by Monday I'll ring doctors again and see whats happening.. I've rang up so many times and saw 2 doctors if they have missed me then I'd be angry feel like messed about so much this time around "/

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Hope your scans go well today Geralyn and Squig

I've never leaked pee either. I wondered too if it was because Xander was a section baby

I keep trying to upload my scan pic but it's saying the file is too large and don't know how else to do it.

Is it the harmony test? I was surprised when I booked this week the midwife said the lab at our hospital is now doing it so newly pregnant ladies can choose it over the NT test if they like. You obv have to pay for it and it's something like £225 but I thought that was quite forward for around here!

 

[vaniilla]

Becyboo - have you spoken to the midwives directly? I know when I've seen a doctor for other things plenty of times the referral just hasn't gone through, it's getting ridiculous how long they're dragging this out for you!

Good luck ladies having a scan today

 

[AngelofTroy]

I'm offered a dna analysis later on because I'm rh- to see if I need the anti-d injection. With Micah they just gave it to be safe. Does anyone know if that test tells the gender?

 

[joo]

Good luck for your scan squig xx

It's strange some of you ladies are being made to wait so long for your booking appts. I rang our midwives last week and the next appt at my Drs midwives was in 3 weeks and she said ooh that's cutting it way too fine so booked me in this week at a different place just to make sure I was in the system on time

They could have got me in next week at a different clinic but for my closest clinic i have to wait. It's just I don't drive and have to walk everywhere with my 2 year old so no chance of getting to the other clinic. It's just that if they hadn't messed up in the first place then I would have had my appointment by now at the clinic of my choice

Glad to know sleeping on the right side is not bad at this stage. I've been "training" to sleep on my left, but it hurts my hip to stay in one position! Sometimes I do switch to my right. I put a pillow in front of me the past two nights to try to stop myself from turining onto my stomach.

Pixie, so glad baby looked good on the scan!

iakyri, wow you already know the sex!!! Are you the first in the group to know??

I went to the doctor this week for the monthly checkup. He couldn't find baby's heart beat on the Doppler; so scary. He did a quick scan and we saw baby's heart beat and baby moving! It was so amazing. I feel guilty for getting another ultrasound (already had two others); thankfully they have all been short, so hopefully they have not bothered baby.

We are cancelling our NT scan and opting out of the quads blood screen.

 

[Squig34]

Everything is perfect; baby measuring 9+2; heartbeat 152bpm next scan same time next week. There was some movement too, those wee jumps they do

Geralyn, hope your scan goes well.

Glad all was good with your baby, Starlight!

Pixie, you might need to change the resolution on your camera settings & then take another pic - if the resolution is too high, the file will be bigger & won't upload to BnB for you!

so perfect squig!

 

[Lil_Pixie]

That's a such great news squig

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Great news Squig!

How has/is everybody announcing? I want to tell my parents in a sweet way, we're probably telling them at Christmas so could incorporate into that? Maybe put the scan photo in the grandparents Christmas card or something? x

 

[MiraclesHappn]

Yay squig! So happy to hear that!!

 

[mommyxofxone]

Ladies. I'm absolutely astounded

Everything is perfect. Baby is measuring 8+3 just like I thought (I'm 9w today based on lmp but knew I'd ovd late) I wasn't expecting that at all. I was sure it was all over after the last two.

I have a pic but it wouldn't upload. I'll try again later

so happy for you hun!!!!

SO GUESS WHAT

We got our genetic tests back today and everything is negative...

WHICH ALSO MEANS THAT WE KNOW THE GENDER

I REALLY WANT TO SAY

BUT I PROMISED MY HUSBAND I WOULDN'T

....can you tell I'm excited???

whaaaaaat you can't tell us?!

I'm pretty sure the limit for NT scan is 13+6. I missed it with my first because I turned out to be 15+6 (don't ask) but don't worry. There is still a blood test they can do if you do miss the date window though.

i know i went in at 13+3 and baby was growing one week ahead of schedule. So they couldn't do mine either. and they made it sound like it was my fault for booking the scan so late. Ummmmmm it was the only day they could get me in! wasn't my fault!

Well ladies, today is a sad day for me. I have been fighting a cold and I just sneezed, and peed my pants a little. For the first of what I'm sure will be many times to come I swear this didn't happen until much later last time! Boo!

lol yeaaaaaah i did that the other day. lol glad it's not just me.

I have my first midwife appointment tomorrow and I'm having a scan. We'll know for sure if the second scan is gone or not. Or there's still a very small chance that a twin could be there

good luck today hun!

i keep waking up on my belly. just where i normally sleep. i remember asking mw with my first if that was alright and she said my body would stop when it wasn't ok. and it did, because it hurts. i don't try to sleep like that, but sometimes it just happens. i'm sure the ultrasounds didn't bother baby esp. if they were nice and quick

yay squig!!! so nice!






anyone guessing gender based on the old wives tale about bpm? mine was 175 which would suggest girl.

 

[Becyboo__x]

Got my midwife appointment in post today for Wednesday .. annoyed slightly but I'll be 13 weeks then so I'm hoping they book a scan sooner not sure when the date is here they shouldn't go over etc

 

[GeralynB]

Great news Squig!

How has/is everybody announcing? I want to tell my parents in a sweet way, we're probably telling them at Christmas so could incorporate into that? Maybe put the scan photo in the grandparents Christmas card or something? x

We're telling the rest of the family next week at Thanksgiving. I got my son a shirt with a picture of a turkey that says I'm thankful because I'm going to be a big brother. We're announcing gender on Christmas with a gift box filled with either pink or blue balloons

 

[Lil_Pixie]

We'll probably just let Xander tell the great grandparents. I'll text my brother and sister and that's it. Don't think we'll be doing a fb thing (although we will if dh wants to) other than that we'll just tell people as we see them I suppose.

 

[joo]

Becyboo it has to be done before 14 weeks if you want the NT screening, otherwise it doesn't matter if it's late, they can still.date the pregnancy.

I was wanting my DD to run in with the scan picture at grandparents and shoutvshe's going to be a big sister. It's not looking likely new though as they will probably guess by then the way my tummy is showing. i was just going to avoid them the next couple of weeks but don't think i can get away with not seeing them for any longer. Wasn't planning on a FB announcement unless OH wants.to.and was just going to tell people when we see them x

 

[Becyboo__x]

We will likely do the screening always have for some reason .. so I'd imagine they will get me in end Nov/start December .. Might get a nice birthday present so that will be good! ..

Everyone knows about this pregnancy never could of keep this secret with sickness and moving house was hectic tbh and I've been grateful for the help.. DS knows and asks about the baby often cutest thing was him touching my belly and kissing it the other day I told him baby only small atm but explained about feeling kicks etc later on ..

This is my belly do far changed from bloat I've noticed to a different shape
