March 2013 babies

[rose.]

Here it's a completely different place, the NHS wont give me a scan until 12 weeks so I searched on the Internet for private early pregnancy scans and it came up with loads, then you just contact them directly and book it

Hello Skydust!

When you all talk about "private scans" what do you mean? Do you go to your regular OB and just pay out of pocket or do you go somewhere totally different? I wasn't aware that just any place would do a scan but I'm interested in having one before my next appnt as well.

I am not sure about Florida but here in California you can get an ultrasound at the mall! All of those places that do 3d ultrasounds will usually do them anytime you want. Just google it.

Kraftykoala, I hope you're ok after your fall? Thinking of you x

Since I am convinced this baby is a boy, Ive only been looking at boy names. My favorite right now is Owen. Then my next two are Gavin and Sawyer. Our last name is only one syllable, so names are hard. Nothing really sounds fabulous with it.

Ive found a way to help my nausea. I dont eat meat. I realized once I stopped eating chicken and beef, my nausea went down a ton. Im still sick, but when it was a 10, its now a 5/6. I am also eating a ton of the Fage Greek Yogurts that have the side of fruit to mix in. Yum!

I set up my screening testing date. August 21, and I will be 11 weeks 6 days. I am still going by my original due date, since I KNOW that's when I conceived, (my doctor bumped it up about 4 days because baby is measuring bigger than that) I hope all turns out well. I didnt get any screenings done with my first two kids.

Hope everyone is having a great day. Love hearing all the ultrasounds are going great! Prayers for you KraftyKoala.....((hugs))

Hey, your right there is lots to read and I have been struggling to keep my eyes open to read it I am so shattered! Yeah do you have a scan date yet?

I am in the Newquay area how about you? x

im near redruth..

Girl we have picked Elliot, but I really like Anabel (Ani) also, so it's a toss up right now. I really like Porter and Cohen for a boy, but can't agree on anything with my husband so we've basically stopped talking about names until we find out what the Nemo really is

Same here, hubby refuses to talk about it until we know the gender. I am a teacher so it is hard to find names that don't remind you of previous students...especially the naughty ones! I know I want to avoid any name with a J at the front cause usually those kids are trouble! and any that end with den... Brayden, Branden, Jayden, Aiden, Zaiden, Hayden...are all no no's on my list.

I'm a teacher too--I understand I'm avoiding all "den"s as well and anything that starts with a Br or...really even a B. Too common right now. Brayden, Braxton, Brenton, Brianna, Briella, Bria....crazy.

So glad to meet you and that you feel the same way with the name thing...I think the real challenge with it will be coming up with something that goes well with our daughter's name...I didn't really think about it when I named her but now I am thinking it's going to be tough to come up with some good ones.

Haha exactly. We have a hard time because our last name is 2 syllables (along with like 80% of all first names) and ends in an "s". We both really love Lucas, but it sounds horrible with our last name that also ends in s It's really hard to find a first name that sounds good with our last!

You can go to an ultrasound company and pay for it. A friend of mine had an early scan that she paid for and said it was like $90 for the premium service. I don't think that's bad at all! I plan on going to get a 3D later on in the pregnancy, and it's $120

I actually wouldn't go to your regular doctor for an elective ultra, as your insurance will NOT pay for it and they will charge you anywhere from $250-$450 for it.

[kraftykoala]

I think everything's fine, wasn't a big fall, but then my eldest spilt his drink on my mums floor and I nearly went over again! Will need bumpers at this rate!

Hope everything goes well at your scan Ocean, will check in tomorrow xxx

i watched a baby story today..... i keep forgetting how scar labor is, i've freaked myself out good now

I been reading horror stories online about different birth stories...I shouldn't do it as it just makes me worry. However, I want to prepare for anything...as my last pregnancy I assumed would be natural and normal and it was neither which was a real shock and very upsetting when you are told you haven't another option but a c-section...so this time round I want to have a better idea of the aweful things that can happen in pregnancy or labour if that makes sense?

Nothing sounds or smells good to me. Once I'm eating it, it's not too bad. But I never have a want for anything anymore. Plus I'm never sure if it's going to stay, or not

I love watching a baby story, it's the real life stories that freak me out. I was talking to a woman I just recently met, who is pregnant currently and getting induced early. I asked her why, she informed me that she lost her last baby at 39 weeks. I seriously could have cried for her, and now I will never not be afraid of losing this baby.

Just had my scan there was a baby! With a strong heartbeat! I'm so so thrilled as I'd convinced myself there'd be nothing there. The measurements show that I'm only 9weeks instead of 10 but this fits with my longer cycle. I'm just so relieved. Hope everyone else is doing ok, hugs to you all xxx

 

[Anababe]

Congrats ocean that's great!

I'm so so tired today I can barely keep my eyes open. My children are so bored but I can't seem to drag myself off the sofa to do anything I went to bed at 8:30pm last night too. Looks like it will be another early night today

After 2 losses in a year, I attend a support group for families who have experienced some type of baby loss, whether it be miscarriage, a second-tri loss, a stillbirth, or SIDS loss. These people are living proof that ANYTHING can happen, and that none of us are out of the woods, sometimes even after the baby arrives.

But, we have to choose to have faith, and continue to hope for the best.

Fearing the worst never prevented or caused the worst to happen...but we can always pray for the best.
