My appointment went well. Heartbeat was 163. Official due date is still June 19th. I can finally relax a little after having my first scan. :)

SecondNote that's excellent news :dance:

I dreamt last night that I'd had my 12 week appointment but I couldn't remember if I'd had my scan or not and I couldn't read my notes. My family started posting on fb and telling everyone but I wasn't ready :dohh: I have a pregnancy dream every night but it's usually about bleeding again.

Hope everything is brighter for you this morning squig :hugs:
 
Beautiful scan Secondnote. Xx
Squig, sorry to hear about the bleed. I hope it's all stopped now. Xx

I am planning another home birth, so hopefully no trip to the hospital in labour! Are any other ladies planning one? Xx
 
SecondNote - pleased for you :-) and it showed the same as your lmp!

I considered a home birth but Aaron was quite blue when he was born and I decided I would much rather have a natural hospital birth again and then I will never question whether things would have happened differently if I'd been in hospital.
 
The prune juice hasn't worked yesterday or today yet.... Feeling really stopped up right now!!

Happy to see everyone's scans! Has the doctor used the Doppler on anyone yet at their appointments?

I hadn't even thought of it really but midwife suggested seen as I had no complications last time and haven't as of yet and OH instantly said he thinks it's a good idea and then I thought it is as well so we are hoping to go ahead with home birth.. a little scared if I'm honest but it will be nice for our last baby I think and different :)
 
Forgot to ask if anyone is anaemic? My Hb was 109 and the cut off is 110 at this stage so I'm borderline but there was no mention of correcting it? It would explain why I feel so knackered all the time.
I guess I'll have to wait til my next antenatal appointment on Christmas Eve to ask about it?
 
I haven't had my blood results yet but I'll definitely be paying close attention. Mine went down to 6.9 when I had Xander and I had to have blood transfusions. The blood they gave me caused me to develop antibodies and now I'm waiting to see someone about whether or not I'll be able to have blood this time if needed. I'll be doing 3 very thing I can to get my numbers up there before the birth!

I was with my son .. from beginning I had to go on prescribed iron tablets til after birth.. but this time I still don't know if I am I told midwife I tend to be anemic and it explains me being tired all the time but I guess it's waiting with me.. I don't know if it's only slightly they don't do anything mine was pretty low as far as I remember
 
Squig how are you doing now? I'm glad you're not letting yourself stress over it as that would just make things way worse. I hope things are well for you!

I love the latest announcement picture and scan picture, both are wonderful!

My hospital is not far away at all, maybe 10 minutes without the possibility of high traffic to ever slow me down. However with DD I was told I could not labor at home due to being GBS+ and needing two rounds of antibiotics before delivery.

I have found naps usually make me feel crummy here lately, mostly because this cold gets way worse anytime I'm asleep so recovery afterwards is a little rough.

I had forgotten until last night I have test results that should come in this week from my last apt and now I'm super nervous. If everything is fine they just don't call you but I just know I won't be that lucky. I'll get a call about something I'm sure. I hate the waiting :(

No chance of a home birth, DS had the cord stuck around his neck and then his head got stuck, in the end he was delivered by an ob, I know it might not happen again but I still want to be near doctors should I need help again.

I was with dd. I had to take an iron supplement too. They made me get the slow release one or something so it wouldn't bother my stomach?

also this time around i'm on high amounts of d which i researched that can help with the anemic part and i am not anemic at all.

i am normally vit d deficient so i am on a ton because they say normal moms have trouble keeping up the d levels needed during pregnancy. i know i'm definitely not as tired this time around- i think i was deficient in my first pregnancy but no one checked.




second what a lovely scan
!!!!


i can't wait til my next one in jan!

next appt is dec 11th hoping they'll use the doppler. i'll be 12+6
 
My next appointment is Dec 18 and then my sister will do a sono Dec 23 so we can find out the gender and announce it on Christmas to the family
 
My midwife suggested a home birth to me as my delivery was straightforward, but I just feel more comfortable knowing that professionals/equipment are nearby if need be.
 
I loved my home birth but I know it's not for everyone. Midwives do try and promote it more now don't they. I like that you get one to one attention. Xx
 
Geralyn, I can't believe you will know gender before Christmas. You lucky lady. Xx
