Aw lou post the pic

Good luck for your scan i dont have mine until the 25th ( feels like ages away) also have a cervix scan too
I felt baby loads on saturday and was like yay finally feeling him but since then have hardly felt anything. I want big kicks to. But i know ill regret saying that too in a few weeks when hes keeping me awake during the night!
Question for anyone whos had a cervix scan - how do they do it?

 

[Kte]

I'm feeling little thumps but its not every day. Midwife tomorrow so hoping its heartbeat time think they start that at 16weeks don't they?

Hi Kte,

My midwife listened to the heartbeat at my 16 week appointment (I was about 16+4 at the time). She did warn me it might take a while and might be a case of chase the baby but she found it quickly and it was amazing to hear!

There you are!

My 19 week photo. Excuse the gormless look on my face and the fact my hair is all over the place - I hadn't been awake for long! Next photo to be taken on Friday.

Hi ladies, sorry I've not posted all weekend, we've been away (just DH racing, nothing exciting!) all weekend and only got back late last night. I have been keeping up over the weekend just not posting. Also I slept for much of today as I had a really long day day yesterday. I think I was up by 6.30am and wasnt in bed until almost 1am this morning. When that alarm went off to get the kids up this morning I nearly cried, but DH was lovely and took them to school for me so I could go back to bed.

I really must take a bump piccie and post one I just never seem to remember until i see everyone posting theirs on here again

Regarding movements I was feeling peanut quite a lot up until a few days ago, but I wasn't really in a position over the weekend to sit down quietly and wait for the kicks. I have felt a little today and had a listen with the doppler when I got back last night just to be sure everything was ok. I dare say peanut was moving a fair bit while I was sleeping and didn't notice it though. That won't last long, a few more weeks and they'll be enough to wake me up I'm sure!

My next scan is a week tomorrow and hoping to be strong enough to stay team

Oh and someone asked about cervix scans, sorry preggo brain and I can't remember who! I have had a lot of cervix scans over the years (the joys of mine being incompetent!) and have had it measured by both routes, either transabdominal or transvaginal. If they are only checking for funnelling and significant shortening transabdominal would do, but transvaginal is far more accurate if you're checking say fortnightly and you need an accurate measurement to compare each time. Hope that helps

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Such lovely bumps! Love that we are all getting proper bumps now

My scan is in two days - yay!

 

[Lou1234]

baby_maybe that was good timing you replying about the cervix question from Anna. I knew someone on this thread had their cervix checked and was about to go back and search! I knew your profile picture but my apologies I couldn't remember your username.

 

[baby_maybe]

That's ok hun, there's a lot of us on this thread now, it gets a bit hard to remember who everyone is sometimes

 

[sportysgirl]

Eek this week it's only 2 weeks until the week of my scan! Can't wait to see baby again. I think my husband and I will have to go out on a little shopping trip once we know if baby is pink/blue
I don't get why I still suffer from nausea when I eat sometimes :/ this morning I actually thought I was going to be sick! Luckily I wasn't. I was only eating bland cereal and a bit of milk

I have been suffering from nausea again in the morning too. Like you can only eat bland cereal and milk. Thought that had all gone! x

 

[MrsChezek]

Thanks for all the feedback re: expos. Yeah I found an expo in NYC, Florida, Arizona and one other place…most were in the spring or too far! Perhaps I'll just tell DH that I have to head into England for a bit and check out some of the ones at your end!!! I wish! I miss London...

rose - congrats on the downs results! Such a great feeling huh? I just got results from the spina bifida blood test this morning and that came back good. Such a weight off my shoulders. Two weeks will come in no time! I can't wait to be on team pink or blue…I mean I love yellow and all but I just want to know NOW
RE: nausea, i was listening to a podcast and a doctor recommended sipping on a bit of syrup from a can of fruit in syrup as it coats the stomach and alleviates symptoms. Perhaps you can try a bit before eating a meal? Just an idea…you to sportys!

heaveneats - happy belated thanksgiving!!!! I can't wait to celebrate at the end of November. One of my favorite holidays! I love turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie! And of course spending time with family I'm kind of itching to make pumpkin pie now though…end of Nov seems SO far away! Are the traditional dishes served in Canada similar?

Oh my gosh, what a cute little bump sharn!!! I love it Mine is all tall and spread out and flat…yours is adorable!

Lovely bumps all around!!

Lou - how exciting to have a scan in 2 days! Hope the next 2 days fly by for you And I so agree with you…I want to feel a big kick too! But definitely will probably want to take that back in a couple weeks

Mrs AJ - can't believe your scan is here already! My time flew by…good luck and let us know how it goes 9 more days for me!


Sorry for the long post again...I will try to come by more often so I can chat rather than post a long letter!!

My doc used the doppler to hear the heartbeat at 12 weeks so if yours doesn't do it at 16 I would be questioning the doc!

I've caught a bug this weekend I work in an elementary school so frankly I'm impressed that it took this long but I've been in the bed since Friday night. Last week I actually almost hit my prepregnancy weight but this this happened so...almost 16 weeks into this pregnancy and so far I've managed to gain nothing but lose 2 lbs, ha! My belly popped around 8/9 weeks and grew a little bit before 12, but now it seems to be settled in how large it is and doesn't appear to have grown much since then. I'm thankful for my home doppler or I'd be worried about the Nemo. But, alas, it still has a strong strong hb!

 

[rose.]

Thanks for the tip, ill have to try it! Willing to try anything to get rid of the nausea in the morning! I wonder whether it's psychological sometimes, as when I don't think about it I don't feel sick! I can cope with a bit of nausea every now and again as its nothing compared to the first 3 months

 

[MrsK]

MrsK - I love your gender reveal idea! I'm still trying to work out mine. We definitely want to do something rather than just have the tech tell us…I'm not big on cake which is the most common way I've seen this done. I'm a photog so I love the idea of balloons and photos…I might steal it (if you don't mind)

Yeah, please do it! I want to see pictures Here's my inspiration photo, if that helps:

Has anyone heard of the iridology gender prediction? Just saw it in the 2nd tri forum..

what you do is look at the whites of the eyes. get the pregnant woman to look upwards, as what you are looking for is two little blood vessels that appear below the iris. the blood vessels should look like little fish-hooks. there should be two of them, one at approximately 5 o'clock and one at seven o'clock. if they appear in the right eye, it's a girl on the way. if they appear in the left eye, it's a boy. if they appear in both eyes, your going to have twins (one of each), though if you aren't haveing twins and the fish-hooks still appear in both eyes, then the girl option overides. it's a girl!

I'm not sure what to make of my lines, though... I have two fishhooks in my right eye which are pointing toward each other so it looks like a cursive W right at 6 o'clock. On my left, I have a big hook at 6'oclock and a straight line at 3 o'clock. So, I guess my right eye would mean girl? We will see Friday.. I broke down and booked a private scan... so excited

 

[Mrs. AJ]

MrsK - that eye thing is new to me - and I thought I knew them all! I tried to look at my eyes, but not sure what to make of my lines either. I also love that gender reveal idea - some friends of mine did it and had their 3 year old open the box, it was really cute

Also, happy birthday to your little Lucas - our kiddos our almost he same age - Connor's bday will be on the 30th

Loving everyones bump pics! Tried to upload one of mine but i dont think it lets you upload one from an iphone so have to get access to a computer. From about late 14w early 15w i started to feel baby move and now for the last 3-4 days iv had movements daily from wee jelly bean so its quite exciting now the fun begins hehe

 

[boxxey]

Babys heartbeat is 167-170 tonight, really think its a girl

Yes the exact same dishes are served here

You can do it on an iPhone, get the photobucket app then upload your picture on to there and use the URL to link to it on here. That's what I did and it worked

Hi Ladies

Not posted for a while but being busy is good as time passes quicker - 17 weeks!! Hurrah!

Went to midwife last week and heard baby's heartbeat - just briefly though each time as our little one seems to be a real wriggler!
I think I am just starting to feel slight unusual sensations in my tummy - cant wait to feel proper kicks!

Its 4 weeks till we find out if we are team blue or pink!! Can't wait - but first we have a holiday!! 2 weeks exploring south-east USA!

Anyway - best get on with some work!!
Here's my bump this week...
