Hi Ladies!!!
Oooh, You&Me are you going to steal the top spot from me! I think i'll be a year and week apart if i have my section a week before LO is due..
How was your scan youngnimum? i LOVE scans! Got an extra cardiac one for LO on the 25th Nov (LOs heart was perfect in last scan, but my daughter has an enlarged wall in her heart so they want to keep an eye) I'm not worried at all though

 

[KellyC75]

Wantabean ~ Dont worry about the spinal, you'll be fine....Just keep remembering how many they do all the time

Im so sorry you had such a worrying time after your little boy was born ~ That must have been so very awful....His party sounds fab & I bet he'll love it

When expecting DD I had said she was defo our last, but then when she was around 8 weeks 'mother nature' started tapping me on the shoulder! I just knew I really wanted one more & to experience a smaller age gap (my others are 18 & 8)
My others all took at least 6months/1 year to concieve, so what I didnt expect was to concieve on 1st month of 'ntnp'!

Hello! (thanks for reminding me about the thread Kelly!)

There'll be 22 months between my 2. and



I'm finding pregnancy harder this time. I've got lots of aches and pains (probably from running around after my daughter at all hours ) and am already having braxton hicks!!

I sympathise....I have been getting these for some time now, such a pain....literally!

Hi ladies, was wondering if all the running around and bending
Up and down / with our LO's will give us a higher chance of delivering early rather than late???
I wonder? What do u think?

Well, I went shopping all day before DS2 was due & went into labour that night!

wantabean- so sorry i missed your post! Sounds like you had a rough time last time you gave birth, atleast this time the section is planned and you can be relaxed and things can go alot smoother I had a bad birth also lots went wrong so i am extremely high risk this time round for birthing, so i'm still unsure how I should be birthing yet :S HOPEFULLY naturally but if 36 week scan shows a 10 pounder or the likes it might not end up going that way Whatever is safer for both us and bubs though huh.

To answer your question- we actually started TTC when Ella was 5/6 months old. we wernt actively trying, i just wasnt on the pill (i think i went on for like a week then the thought of a sibling for ella was too exciting so i stopped ). Then we were trying properly but it wasnt really happening as i am still breastfeeding and my cycles were WHACK like some of them 50 days long and often not even ovulating. my first "proper' cycle, 11 months later was the one we succeeded on (apart from a chemical 2 months before), so we did try early yes

 

[KellyC75]

Anyone get 'funny looks' from other people....Like 'you have a small baby & your pregnant!'

Im not a paranoid person, so I do know its happening...Feels like the same looks I got when I was 16 & pregnant! Difference is im almost 36 now!

 

[MiissMuffet]

nope i havnt had any so far. perhaps its because Ella is walking around so maybe she doesnt look so "young" i dont know lol. But to be honest i havnt gone out much, and the people that do say something usually say wow you are going to be busy!

speaking of funny looks- i was 18 and I had my little baby brother with me in the shops, (mum was floating around somewhere) a stupid old biddy walked up to me with her walking stick, did a big tut tut and said in a loud voice "kids these days having children far too young". Normally i will let anything from a little old lady slide, but jumping to conclusions about other peoples lives is just not on, so i said something to her, i cant quite remember what, told her he was my little brother or something lol

oh yea and that just reminded me not long after that my mum was out with my baby brother and a man came up to the trolley and said to my wee bro "having a fun day out with nana today are you"? wwooooppppsssss!!!!

Glad the scan went well!

I'm sitting at the clinic right now doing the 2 hour gestational diabetes test (I failed the screening test). It's so gross. I had to fast and now I feel so nauseous after drinking that nasty drink on an empty stomach.

Having a really emotional day today (in fact, who am I kidding, been having them for a fair few days!)

I suppose with such a BIG move coming up it is to be expected, but its also scary ~ Dont like feeling down

 

[apple84]

I can't imagine how scary that would be. and I'm sure the hormones don't help

Do any of you have trouble with an affectionate toddler that just isn't very gentle? The bigger and tighter my belly gets, the more painful it is when he climbs on top of me or accidentally elbows or headbutts me. I tell him it hurts, but he doesn't seem to get if

My LO isn't very gentle at all either. I'm trying not to draw attention to my bump now so she doesn't feel the need to poke it! They're very young I don't think there's any way of making them understand at this age. I do still naughty step her though if I tell her no and she continues

Anyone get 'funny looks' from other people....Like 'you have a small baby & your pregnant!'

I've not had this thankfully. Most people who notice i'm pregnant again seem quite positive. Just remember if anyone is negative towards you it has nothing to do with them anyway!

Can you add me to the list on the front page please

 

[apple84]

I don't think our age gap (2 years) is very extreme, but when people find out it's twins I get all sorts of comments. "won't you be busy!" "I sure couldn't do it!" and the worst was "oh should I say congratulations or I'm sorry?" ouch!

Btw I passed that gestational diabetes test! It's crazy! My OB was so sure I'd fail, but it wasn't even a borderline pass. So now I can eat like a normal person He might make me redo to the test in a month, but at least I can enjoy it for now.

 

[Wantabean]

i dont think anyone realises that i am pregnant again lol i have a proper full blown bump but i think they just think its left over from Cameron lol he is really really small for his age so just think im fat. when i tell people they always look really shocked and say 'o your brave' i just laugh but now im starting to get annoyed by it. grrrrrr lol sorry been awol ladies cameron is really ill at the moment. been to doctors twice now. they think he is teething and has picked up a bug at the same time so he is miserable. i am exhausted lol luckily oh has taken a few days off work as i have been up all night with cam so he has been letting me sleep during the day this is a huge accomplishment as normally we need to have massive arguments to get him to help out lol he is getting better as cam gets older though.

how are you all? xxxx

 

[KellyC75]

:wave: Morning!

I have the dentist today...

Congrats!! I have that test in a few weeks. Is the drink really awful? I'm not looking forward to the fasting, I just know i'll be feeling very sick on the way to the hospital

 

[apple84]

It's overly sweet, but it's more the gross feeling of sugar overload first thing in the morning after fasting that makes me feel nauseous. And then by the end I'm on a sugar low and feel so tired and weak.

Good luck!

Hiya I'm 19 weeks pregnant today and have an 8 month old little boy. This is our 4th, we also have a 12 yr old boy and 8 yr old girl. This pregnancy was a complete shock, it will be roughly a 13 month age gap, lo is 1 on the 27th feb and i'm due on 31st march. I've got a feeling this is another little boy! But a girl would be lovely too so i don't mind which it is We have our scan next friday, haven't decided whether to find out or not, but i bet once we are there i wont be able to resist

 

[LilDreamy]

May I join Please!! =]

My age gap isn't as close to everyone elses, but I think close enough??

My Baby girl Alexa is a year old right now. So they will be 21 months apart when Little one will be born. It's rough already! Alexa is hitting her terrible twos a year early lol. This is going to be rough! lol. But excited all the same.

And someone said they felt sad because their little one alive now, won't be the "baby" when your new little one is born. I deffinately am sad about that too. Some times I feel like it isn't fair to her. But I pray that I will be able to let her stay a baby for as long as I can. & Hope it isn't too overwhelming when newborn is born. =]
