Lucky thread

[MrsDuck]

Haha you and df have been quite lucky on scratch cards
I bet you feel better for your sort out

Are you an aunty yet?

It's been a good day at work today I've really enjoyed myself, it's how work used to be every day, it's just been long and tiring for my preggo body haha

My scan is a week tomorrow eeek!

 

[baileybubs]

No not an Aunty again yet! About 3 hours ago we heard that nothing's happening yet. Think by tomorrow they'll put her on the drip....maybe sooner but we are kind of out of the loop, to be expected coz they can't exactly keep everyone up to date, just keep asking MIL what's going on lol!
I'm on tenterhooks though!

Yay for being busier though, makes the day go by better! And so excited for your scan now, just one week yay!

Feel much better for the clearing deffo. And yes the scratch cards have been kind lol, but that's when you know you have to stop getting them isn't it, only so much luck lol!

Taken 2 was awesome by the way!

 

[MrsDuck]

That's good that mil is keeping you posted

I liked taken so I'll probably like the second one too

I'm slightly nervous as I still don't think I've found baby on the Doppler I know it's still quite early but lots of others on YouTube seem to have found it that aren't as far as me

 

[baileybubs]

Aw don't worry mrs d it's still really early to find baby, don't forget how tiny that little duckling is and could be anywhere too. What I used to do was just lie with the doppler on my tummy and I would push it in downwards towards my pelvis and just move it really really slowly (minuscule movements) and sometimes it would take a good 15-20 mins at least to find her. And I only bought mine at 12 weeks so it must be even harder at just 9 weeks. That little duckling is just snuggling away somewhere.

 

[MrsDuck]

Where abouts on my stomach should I be looking? How low down and how high up?

Hey ladies

Bailey hope you are an auntie by now! Hope you're enjoying your time off with df even if it is just sorting stuff out!

Mrs d try super low, like on your hairline. Put the probe in one place, press quite firmly and move it on the spot so you've covered all angles. But please don't worry if you can't find it, midwifes don't even check the hb until 16 weeks cos it's so hard to find them!

Cheryl you take Leo to baby sensory don't you, I'm taking Zach for a taster session next weds.

Well I just went for my midwife discharge and my little sausage is now just shy of 10 lbs! Quite excited to get to break into the next size up clothes soon! Dr has put my on a drug called domperidone as my milk was starting to disappear and this morning I woke up engorged like the day my milk first came in! Amazing stuff, gotta put some work in with pumping now tho to maintain it.....hard work.

Missing chatting to you guys loads, just so hard to find the time at the mo, hopefully once hubby's back at work next week I'll have more time xx

 

[baileybubs]

Lol I love how you will have more time to come on here once dh is back at work haha! I'm the same when df is off don't get much chance to come on.

Cupcake me and Emilia are starting sensory sessions next week too! Looking forward to it but I've had to change my volunteering because of it! To be honest I'm still not loving the volunteer work.

Mrs d yeah do what cupcake says, dead low down coz your uterus will still be under your pelvic bone.

 

[MrsDuck]

Aaargh thanks ladies I don't think I've been dopplering low enough

Aw that will be nice, sensory groups sound good

Yay for your milk supply pump pump pump and whoo hoo for a good weight gain for Zach

Bailey is it still nice to have df off or are you ready for him to go back to work now haha

 

[CherylC3]

Hey

Bailey aw does she? Leo's a grubber scoffs everything lol... Yeah for a clear out we need to do one badly. Xx

Mrs d it's still so early don't panic. Not long till ur scan.x

Cupcake yip sensors great but I think Leo is starting to get a bit bored at some of the activity s but he is very alert. X

Well today we went shopping hubby wanted to treat me to a dress but I cudnt find one so he said for me to book a massage so nice of him. He also put £100 into Leo's account oh and I got my half of Leo's Xmas we said we wud spent £50 each on him so I got the toys and hubby's going to get him a snow suit and trainers. Xx

 

[cupcake1981]

Yeah mrs d really low down, hope you find it but don't worry if you don't!

Yeah bailey I dunno why I don't find time when he's about but I seem busier, think it's cos I'm cleaning up after 2 kids! Looking fwd to him going back, I just sat down to pump and he'd put on grand theft auto like a minute b4 while I was putting washing in so I've had to sit here pumping watching him play that crap, like pumping isn't dull enough, grrrr.

We've been and had the free photoshoot at venture this Pm that we got with Zachs pram, I just know I'm gonna love all the pics and they are soooo expensive.

 

[MrsDuck]

Nope still can't find anything faster than 141-145 which I don't think is fast enough, panicking a little, I can't wait til next Wednesday now

What a bugger cupcake, I think I'm quite lucky hubby doesn't do computer games or football yay

Aw those professional photos are going to be gorgeous, get your plastic ready

Cheryl that's great news sounds like hubby is finally stepping up to the plate yay

 

[cupcake1981]

Mrs d I promise you when I used to use it Zach was always around the 135-140 mark, 141 is not low. You have the sono line right? Which setting do you use it on?

 

[MrsDuck]

Yup that's the one the sonoline b. I use it on setting 1

 

[MrsDuck]

I watch you tube and everyone seems to get around 165

 

[cupcake1981]

Mine was never that fast, and babies heart rate goes up and down which it should. Try setting 3, that gives am average. Does it sound like a train or a galloping horse? Or a whooshing?

 

[MrsDuck]

I'll try mode 3. It doesn't really sound like either, it just sounds like my heartbeat but faster

 

[cupcake1981]

Then that's probably baby! Your heart wouldn't be going at 141 beats a min, so it must be baby or the placenta, and if baby wasn't ok, placenta wouldn't be doing anything xx

I've just ordered Zachs Christmas outfits from next, 2 Xmas baby gros and an elf outfit! Got him a pumpkin baby gro yesterday for Halloween to!

 

[MrsDuck]

That's true I hadn't thought of that

Aw that sounds so cute, we will need to see pics when he wears them

Are you having a quiet family Christmas or going to parents?

 

[cupcake1981]

It sounds like you are finding something baby related.

I have no idea what's happening at Xmas yet. I think my sister offered to do Xmas this year but that was before she knew shed be 6 months preg! My mum refuses she says it's too stressful to have all the kids at hers! What do you do?

 

[MrsDuck]

I take it in turns with my aunt each year and it's her turn this year yay. There are 10 of us, we take all the presents to hers or mine and cook Christmas Day and then again on Boxing Day. After lunch all the men then tend to fall asleep on the sofas and the ladies and kids play games

It's nice but a quiet Christmas would also be good
