Looking for bump buddy - 17th March

[ems202]

Hi guys! Looking for a bump friend to join me on this journey!! X

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

Hiiii :wave:

I'll be a bump buddy with you You're a bit further on than me tho. Grr lucky lol.

I'm Karlee

 

[ems202]

Hey Karlee I'm Emma!!

Ah am I? When are you due? How are you finding it all? x

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

Hi Emma

I'm due around the 25th of March, right after my birthday lol.

It's not so bad, feel very very sick. Think its a girly baby.

How're you finding everything?

 

[ems202]

Ah that's my Grandma's birthday, therefore it's a good day

Sorry to hear you're feeling sick...I have hardly any symptoms - sore boobies, tiredness and pimply forehead! That's it! I'm suffering with a UTI at the moment and I'm on antibiotics so I'm just waiting for that to clear up! I had a scan at 7w 3d and everything was fine so that was reassuring! I want another one now though. We have our booking appointment on Tuesday so looking forward to getting the ball rolling!! Why does time suddenly go soooo slow when you find out you're pregnant?! It sucks! All worth it though I suppose xx

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

I doubt baby will come on that date lol. I'm sure he/she will be a lazy pant & keep me waiting til April

Oh no! Hope your antibiotics clear that up soon. UTIs are horrible. I don't mind feeling sick, it's reassuring that every thing is hopefully okay.

My booking app is on Tuesday too lol. What a coincidence! I wanna get everything started off too. I'm so impatient.

What are you hoping for then?

 

[airbear]

Hey girls! I'm Ariel due March 4th! I had my first scan around 8 weeks and my next appointment is August 29th!

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

Hi Ariel! How was your first scan? I have to wait til next month for mine. Boo!

 

[ems202]

Hi guys...welcome Ariel!

How are you getting on?

Sorry I haven't been in touch for a few days, I've been so busy!

So I had my booking appointment last night...so many questions!! Just got to wait for my 12 week scan date now ) how did yours go Karlee?

I don't really know what I'm hoping for...I'd quite like a girl, but I have no preference how about you?

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

I had my booking app yesterday too. It's all changed since I had my son! :S & the midwife practically bullied me into having downs screening test (it never used to be optional but I forget my notes at my 12 week scan with my son & didn't have it done lol) so I'm there going, I don't want it. I don't care what the outcome might be, it doesn't matter to us & she's asking me if I want more time. No! Silly girl.

& she couldn't get any blood so I have to go back ):

Do you have to call & book your scan Emma? Is this your first baby?

I'm hoping for a girl, I already have a boy. One of each would be lovely ^_^

 

[ems202]

Ah not good that you got bullied into it!! We got given the choice but we had to decide there and then as she had to put yes or no on the form...we decided to have the first test done, and if it came back as high risk then that's it, I won't have the 2nd test done and risk miscarriage, and like you it wouldn't change our mind either way, but I would like to know if I was high risk or not.

Do you have problems finding a vein too?? I was quite shocked actually that she managed to get blood from me first time!

No I don't have to call and book, she said I need to wait for a letter in the post to tell me the date...and said it can take a couple of weeks to receive....I want to know now! Haha. Yes this is my first and we're so excited, yet so scared!!

Ah how lovely, fingers crossed you have a little girl

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

No, I declined in the end, she just kept on & on at us :S I don't want to know at all, cos even if it comes back low I'll be thinking "oh what if I'm the 1 in however many" y'know. I didn't with my son & I didn't even think about it.

Oh I hate having blood taken, you can only get it from 1 arm & thats hit & miss, it's easier to go for my hands, but the midwife said she couldn't do hands.

I have to call on friday & book mine myself. So exciting! I wish we didn't have to wait 12 weeks. It's a long time without knowing if everything is okay.

Aww first babies are so exciting! It's so nice going through everything the first time, cos it's all such a big change. I can't wait to feel baby start moving, I love that bit.

Hehe thank you One of each & then I'm done lol. No more babies

 

[ems202]

As long as you're doing it how you want to do it then that's all that matters

I'm jealous that you get to book your scan on Friday! Let me know what date you get! I've just got to wait for the letter grrrrr!

Yeah it is really exciting but it's so scary too! Every little thing I feel I get worried, and I keep kicking myself because I should be enjoying it!

Have you announced yours to anyone yet? And when do you start buying stuff?

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

Ofc I'll let you know. I'm sooooo excited for it. Even tho I know it's not going be til next month.

It does get better after the first scan. The first few weeks are hardest, cos so much can go wrong & you've no way of telling until 12 weeks. Once you have that scan, then start hearing the heartbeat at the midwife it's better. Then obvs feeling baby movies amazing.

I'm pregnant after a loss & every little twinge I panic at. I don't think I'll truly relax til baby is here & safe y'know.

We were going to keep it secret, but my mom found out & we both told some friends. Then we made it fb official at 8 weeks. Currently going through telling Ohs parents, since we've not spoken for months.

What about you? Have you told anyone?

There's only a few big things I need to get this time. But I won't really buy anything til the 20 week scan, cos I don't like white & cream baby clothes. So I'll wait til I can buy colours hehe. When are you thinking of starting to buy stuff?

 

[ems202]

I'm excited for the scan too, I would just like to know the date so I've got something to look forward to!! Although in a way I'm quite glad I don't know as I guarantee that once I find out then the time will reeaalllyyy drag up to then!!

Sorry to hear about your loss hun, everything crossed that this little one is here to stay

Haha so have you told everyone now then? We've told our close family and they're all very excited...I've told my manager and one other person at work, and he has told his work lot...but I'm not telling anyone else until I have the 12 wk scan, but that's just because I'm quite supersticious! We're quite private people anyway and we don't like it when everyone knows our business so I'm quite happy to wait

I haven't got a clue when to start buying anything!! I ordered the pram on Saturday but that was just because I have enough time to pay it off before little one is here! We're literally starting from scratch so everything needs to be bought. I kind of don't want to start until after the scan but on the other hand I'm thinking the more time we have the more money we'll have, if that makes sense??

How are you feeling this week anyway?

 

[sbl]

As an Irish lady I have to say well done on having a St. Patricks Day due date!!

 

[ems202]

Haha, thanks sbl!!

 

[BrokenfoREVer]

Yeah, time will deffo drag after tomorrow when I make the app. & I've got OH mother asking for scan pis now, whats wrong with us sending her a picture lol

I've got my fingers firmly crossed. But I'm further on than I was last time, so thats reasuring y'know.

Theres still a couple of family members I haven't told yet. But I'm waiting for the right time. I'm happy not to have people knowing, cos then everyone starts to bug you about it.

I think I was 20 odd weeks last time before I started buying anything. I know what you mean about having more money if you start a bit earlier tho. I'll be waiting until after 20 weeks this time, I've only got a new moses basket & a new cot mattress to buy. My money will all be going on being my LO his "big boy" things, new bed, buggy board for the pram etc. Bet I end up spending more this time than last time lol.

I'm not too bad, feeling pretty sick & tired but managing. Running about after a toddler & trying to get him to stop bouncing on my tummy is hard tho lol. How're you feeling?

 

[ems202]

Sooooo, when is your scan?? So exciting. OH got home before me yesterday and said I had some post an it looked proper, so I was getting excited, got home and it was from direct line!!! Grrrr haha.

Glad you're not feeling too bad, I'm feeling fine, still no sickness *touch wood* just sore boobs and some aches and pains.

Are you having trouble with OH mum then?

 

[peachlolita]

March 17 is my mom's birthday!
Mine is the 19th.

And my due date is the 23rd. So, I'm nearly 9 weeks along.
