June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[jalilma]

I have read literature (in in the states so I don't know if it's different in different places) that even at 22 weeks there is (albeit low without health issues) a decent chance of a baby being born and surviving then there was even just a few years ago. I personally don't want to test that stastic but it's just amazing to see what medical advancements are able to do for even the tiniest babies.

V day is the day that if you gave birth the chances of baby surviving are greater than it not. Therefore it becomes the day that medical staff are supposed to make every attempt to resuscitate baby if they need it. I think earlier than that and the baby has to actively show very good attempts at breathing etc (I think) before they will intervene.

Ehj, I guess you can only keep hoping - I personally know some IUGR babies (well adults now!) so I absolutely think that all is by no means lost & normal amniotic fluid is a good sign, as is the fetal movement (my son barely moved as he wasn't getting the nourishment to give him energy to do so). But I'm no medical expert so I hope the docs can give you lots more information to give you hope & help you to keep positive too

I'm consistently getting more movement now which I'm so pleased about. Hope it's stronger soon too - I know I might regret saying it when I'm getting my ribs & bladder kicked, but I'm so looking forward to feeling my little one wriggle around in there much more

Sorry to hear of your worries ejh. Hopefully baby is just going to be a small baby. My friend had 3 small babies. All perfect, but she only made small ones. I hope this is the case for you. Xx

Is anyone still left to find out gender (that wants to know)?
I know we have some scans next week and just wondering if anyone is going to find out pink or blue. I'm hoping to confirm pink. Xx

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I have my 20 week scan on Wednesday, also hoping to confirm pink, as i have crazily purchased just about everything ! ooooops!

 

[Starlight32]

No more scans for me! Next ob appt is this week though. I'll almost be 24 weeks. Do you think the dr will bring up glucose testing?

 

[GeralynB]

You usually do glucose testing between 26 and 28 weeks

 

[Dory85]

Does everyone have glucose testing in America? In the UK it's only if you have one of the risk factors.

 

[mommyxofxone]

Dory yup they do it on all pregnant woman. But I don't meet the risk creteria so I'm thinking I'm going to try to decline.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Teeny my anomaly scan is on Monday, I don't know the gender yet as I haven't had a scan since 12 weeks. Hopefully we'll be finding out providing everything is ok with baby.

I haven't felt much movement since Thursday. Baby seems to have a crazy active day followed by a few quiet days. I definitely felt movement yesterday but I'm not too sure about today - I've barely sat down all day! Once Xander is in bed I'll have a good rest and see if I can get a wiggle out of squidge to put my mind at rest

 

[vaniilla]

Teeny - We're hoping to find out the gender on Monday provided baby cooperates

 

[Boo44]

I've got a big scan on Wednesday which I'm fairly terrified about! It's technically my anomaly scan but I'll be 21+5. And because I was scanned at 16 weeks by a fetal medicine consultant that was sort of my anomaly anyway when they found the kidney problem. Hoping all is ok in there still...

And if all is ok I'll be asking them to check he's still a he, and then I might get spending! X

 

[Starlight32]

Pixie, my baby seems to be really active some days and and not so much others! Yesterday evening, I didn't feel much movement until I laid down, even though before laying down, I was sitting still on the couch.

 

[Lavochain]

ehjmorris - I hope all is well with your baby.

wannabenewmum - I'm so sorry for your loss, I know that words can't heal the pain but I really hope you and your family find your way through this.

Good luck to all who have scans on Monday/this week. I am impatiently waiting for mine which is on the 15th. He was measuring a week ahead in my private scan so it will be interesting to see if that was just a little growth spurt or not.

My LO has been active at the same time every night and the flutters are now full blown kicks, he really made me jump last night!

 

[Squig34]

Teeny, my anomaly scan is on Tuesday; I'm hoping to find out the gender.

Pixie, hope you were able to feel plenty of movement last night & feel reassured.

Boo, hope your scan goes well & the kidney problem is no worse.

Good luck to everyone else with upcoming scans too

 

[Teeny Weeny]

A busy week for scans this week then. I hope that babies are well and that pixie, vanilla and squig can all see gender.
Boo, I hope babies kidney is no worse and all is okay still with little man.
Mine is Thursday so still a few days wait.
I'll be stalking this thread tomorrow for updates. Xx
