Late July-to-Early August Babies

[kirstyderby]

Im rhesus negetive blood group so i have 2 have in injection (anti-d) its so my body doesn't reject the baby, if ur positive u dont have 2 have it! I hate needles too so jus my luck i have 2 have extra 1's.. lol
Hope this explains a little better lol

 

[kmac625]

Kirsty...another reason I'm happy I'm rh pos, though needles don't bother me at all (I was a regular platelet donor before pregnancy and have a bunch of piercings and tattoos lol).

Angel...I have a home doppler and was able to find the heartbeat starting at 12w, though lots of people aren't able to that early. I think I was lucky.

Anyhow ladies, not much else new here on my end except that I'm finally in my second trimester YAY! I have my next midwife appointment next week so maybe I'll have more to report then. Hope you're all having a nice week so far.

 

[angelmyky]

thanks kirsty, i dont even know what blood type i am. suppose i'll find out when i see the midwife...not sure. get my results back then too so hoping everything is ok.

whats it like to hear the heartbeat kmac......im dying to hear mine.

i havent got anything to report either......erm oh yeh, i found out that my grandad doesnt have cancer!! my stupid aunty got it wrong and went round telling us all that he had it, but he had tests and hes fine so thats good. my mums starting knitting a blanket for the baby bless.

oh and the wedding date is now definitely 9 SEPTEMBER 2011. gives me time to lose weight after the baby is born. me and OH have decided to go on a cheap-ish mini holiday in May, i'll have a proper bump by then and it will be our first holiday together so should be nice. things seem to be looking good lately so im happy.

cant think what else to say so i'll leave it there.

when you have due dates let me know and i will put them up on the front page hope you're all ok. xx

[kmac625]

Welcome to our little group wakey. We're happy to have you join us.

Angel...hearing the heartbeat is incredibly cool. It sounds a little like a train chugging along lol. Mostly it's just like hearing your heartbeat, but alot faster. So far I'm due on July 30th, but I have my next midwife appt. next week (first one since my scan) so I'll see if she puts me ahead at all (I suspect she might) and update you then.

 

[angelmyky]

hello wakeygirl, welcome, you say you're due 24th july?

ive added a part on front page (due dates), so as soon as you know your proper due dates then i will add them up. x

ok kmac, hope everything goes well at m/w's. x

 

[wakeygirl]

Yh angel on the the 24th lol

 

[kirstyderby]

Hi Wakeygirl welcome 2 the group.

Have 2 agree its amazin when u first hear the babys heart beat.

Went 2 the MW fri n all is gud, got 2 hear bubba again so that was great.
I seem 2 b craving ice pops at the min not gud as its bloody freezin...

My due date is defo 25th july but if this 1's like the other 2 it won't wanna stay 4 the full duration

Hope ur all well ladies.. catch u all soon x

 

[wakeygirl]

Thanks for the welcome ladies , nice to meet u all , and this is my first baby so im excited wooo hooo

 

[angelmyky]

awww kirsty ive been craving some weird things....one is milkshakes, the other is melon and ive craved ice cream too. not all together but it sucks because i only want them extremely cold.

wakeygirl this is my first too, its so exciting. my only problem is that i still dont feel pregnant, i felt pregnant for about 2 weeks then when the scan put me back 3 weeks i stopped feeling like it. i just feel so fat

i got a call from my doctors this morning, apparently they found something in my urine sample and they want me to take some tablets. the receptionist was foreign so i couldnt understand her properly, so i dont know what they found or what the tablets are. i will know more tomorrow when i go to pick up the prescription. my mum said they might have found protein in my urine, or sugar, or maybe i have a urine infection.....i dont know. its strange. i dont feel like something is wrong.

is anyone occasionally getting aches in lower part of abdomen? ive had it since i was 4-5 weeks pregnant so i put it down to growing pains. it used to only be really light and last for 5 minutes max then i wont get it again for 2 days.....then after my scan i had nothing, then about a week ago its back but feels different and worse. im not worrying or anything, just kind of annoying. its mainly when im stretching so maybe im pulling too much. not sure.

i have a scan on thursday so i will see baby better then, i'll be able to get a picture up afterwards too.

i'll update the front page now with the due dates. when you have your later scan to find out the gender then let me know and i'll update the page again with a girl or boy baby. hope you're all ok. x

 

[kirstyderby]

Angel- Its probably ur uterus growin n everythin stretchin 4 babba 2 get bigger, i get all kinds of aches n pains lol.

Pickled onion monster munch is a cravin i've had with all 3 they r so yummy n DH hates the smell so he wont come near me

Am i the only 1 with kids already?
We have decided we r gonna find out the sex so we know if 2 paint the bedrooms or not.

Catch u all soon

 

[kmac625]

Kirsty I think you might be the only with kids already...this is my first also. I had my mw appointment today and I got the combined nt scan and blood results back...1:20,400 chance of having a baby with down syndrome. YAY!!!! I also found out my iron levels are the highest she's seen in about 4 months (don't have to worry about anemia I guess lol). According to the nt scan my due date is July 26th, but she said that since it was less than a 5 day difference than what we thought that she wouldn't change my date. I kinda want to anyhow cuz that means baby is due that much sooner lol. Anyhow, hope you're all feeling good today.

 

[wakeygirl]

haha angel i dont feel pregnant yet either and i just want to feel some kicks ect and i feel so fat to and really heavy on my stomach lol, is any of u called kim bland lol u just added me to facebook and u got the rite one lol

 

[angelmyky]

erm nope wasnt me that added you lol....my names mykala (pronounced as michaela). i think when i start feeling kicks or flutters then i will feel pregnant but til then i will just carry on moaning about feeling fat lol. OH gets the bad parts of my hormones, poor guy.

kirsty this is my first so looks like you're the only one with kids, i have 3 neices though and i did help alot to bring them up. my sister had a crap ex so the first 2 girls needed help whilst growing up but the last one's dad is the best and has taken on the other 2 like his own. hes bought them up for 5-6 years now.....hes better than their blood father. pickled onion monster munch you say......hmmmm i love them anyway, did before i got pregnant and my OH hates the smell of them, doesnt stop me eating them now and again though haha.

glad everything is ok with baby and you kmac.....thats good that you're on the low side for downs. i will change the due date for you.

oh i have my scan at 10:30....just 1 hour to go cant wait to get a better pic, so i can put it up. plus i get a better due date and find out how far gone i actually am. ive had it tough the past 3 weeks because i didnt know properly how far gone i am and i didnt have an estimated due date. cant wait argh lol. well i went to the doctors on tuesday to find out what was wrong with my urine sample and apparently its just an infection. i have to take 1 tablet 3 times a day for 5 days. but i did that sample 4-5 weeks ago so ive had this infection for over a month and now they give me tablets for it. no wonder i was struggling to go to the toilet (tmi), glad now its going to get sorted.

i will be back on later to put a scan pic up take care all. x

 

[kmac625]

Exciting! I can't wait to see your scan pic...something to look forward to this evening when I get home from work.

 

[kirstyderby]

Cant wait 2 see the scan pic either Angel....

Got my downs results bac 2 n it was low risk

God thought when i went in the second tri i wouldn't b so tired, how wrong was i an i've had a bangin headache 4 days...jus glad the kids sleep through.

On a brighter note we're takin the kids n 1 of our niece's to a soft play this saturday which should be fun

Have any of u seen the advert 4 one born every minute? Think it starts next tues... Looks quite interesting.

Will pop bac on later

 

[angelmyky]

hey scan went well. got 2 scan pics because baby kept moving. was so funny but cute. just kept seeing him/her bouncing up and down then waving then kicking. so scan pics arent that good, i will still get one up though.

omg they tried 3 times to take blood from me today for the downs test. i now have 2 blood pin pricks on my left arm and 1 on the other arm. was annoying. silly veins lol.

baby looks so lively when she was scanning. just didnt want to stay still at all. hopefully he/she will be abit calmer for the next one. i have an appointment with the consultant on 6th april (which is my next scan too i think). does anyone know why i might need to see a consultant? i didnt know i would need to. suppose i could ask my midwife next week when i see her.

glad you both are in the low-risk, im hoping i will be there too. but i was telling my OH that even if i was in high-risk then it wouldnt matter to me, obviously i hope he/she doesnt have downs though.

heres my scan pic.....might be blurry but its the best one out of the two....we couldnt get a better one because of the little raver

oh and im due around 24th august just like i worked out from the first scan. at least now i have a proper date

 

[kirstyderby]

Awww love scan pic hun, glad all is o.k n u finally got a proper due date...

Im under the consultant 2 but thats because both my LO's were small birth weights. yeah if ur not sure why then jus ask ur MW. Supprised she never told u why in the first place

Speak 2 u all soon....

 

[angelmyky]

well she said the first time i saw her that i would be under extra care because of my BMI/weight etc. so its probably just because of that.

speak soon x

 

[kmac625]

Glad your scan went great angel...isn't it cool to see the baby moving around like that (thought mine didn't move as much as it sounds like yours did). It kind of freaked me out that baby was in there moving so much and I couldn't feel it lol.
I've heard of ladies needing to see a specialist cuz of their bmi. I'm lucky that mine wasn't over 30 (but close at 28.8) before I got pregnant because that might have put me high risk and meant I'd have to see an ob and not a mw. So far I've only gained 6lbs though and for my pre-preg weight I should only gain 15-25 so I'm on par for that (I'm hoping to keep it to 20).
