it freaks me out a bit hearing the cord stuff makes me wish I could just feel her move. I think I felt a poke a couple times, but I want something to say "oh yeah, no denying that!"

JLynn so sorry about your cousin- that is awful, what she must be going through xxx

LisK -woop! Congrats on your girl- another pink bump! Looks like girls are taking the lead again lol

Loving the BFP stories too, mine was a bit of an anti-climax if I am honest -I had a very very faint BFP (which I knew was positive as a line is a line etc ) but DH said he could not see it, then a few days later it was a bit darker and he said ' could it not be a false positive?' NO STUPID MAN lmao -just be excited and stop second guessing my excitement lol. It took a good few weeks for him to become excited - by the time the doctor confirmed it, he actually started to believe it lol

I was 2 weeks late but thought I was just late again as the month before I was late by a week

I had a UTI that month and went to my GP who tested and it it was negative. He then gave me meds and I drank it.

After being late for two weeks I started feeling sick but I thought it was the meds of the UTI. I actually was awaiting my period so that I could start a detox.

My husband went to the store to buy a test and when I got from work he asked me to take it.

I did so, put it on the sink and left the bathroom. He went in and said to me congrats you are pregnant ... I didnt believe him and when he showed me the test I said no ways. The next day we went to doctor and got referred to a specialist due to my previous MC.

I can still remember the look on my DH face when the doctor did a scan and said we were about 5-6 weeks along ... priceless

That made me laugh!! That's such a MAN thing to say!!



And congrats on the girl LisK!!!

Oh yeah, I forgot.... I rang the midwife AGAIN this morning, asked if they booked my 20 wk scan yet, she put me through to the ultrasound department as she can't access their schedule to see if I was on it. They told me again that there was no request for my scan yet and that it would need to be done soon otherwise they might not be able to fit me in. So I rang the midwife back and told her what they had said. She said I think your midwife might just wait to book it until she's seen you for your booking in appointment... and I was like: well I'll be 19+5 by then and the ultrasound dept. said to have it booked sooner rather than later! So she gave me the phonenumber for MY midwife (as I was ringing the community midwives office as that was the only number I had), so I rang my midwife and left her a message, apparently she'll ring me back..... HOPEFULLY!!!
It's really getting annoying now! I just want someone to book it so I know I will get my 20 week scan!! I'm actually getting to a point where I feel like just going to a&e and say I haven't felt baby so they will do a scan!! - I wouldn't normally do that, as they're busy enough as it is, but it's really starting to annoy me!

Does anyone know if there's a timelimit on doing all the anatomy checks?? (whether they HAVE to be done at a certain time, like the 12wk scan)


Also, has anyone else been more uncomfortable this time around than last time??? My back hurts and can't really get comfortable in bed, but still feel uncomfortable when I am not in bed! Don't think I was this uncomfortable (this early on at least) with my first pregnancy!

 

[wannabubba#4]

Eltjuh - I think the anomaly scan is normally done 18-22 weeks (actually says between 18 and 21 at my hospital) - I think mainly because IF there was a problem then they would offer termination, and obviously the sooner the better - 18 weeks is usually the earliest to make sure that organ development is at a stage where they can check/ see for anomalies

[wannabubba#4]

And as for being uncomfortable, I have a few aches and pains but after having SPD last time (and not yet this time lol) I feel great!!

One bonus of having it so bad last time, anything less this time is just the best

 

[LucyLake]

Hi ladies, congrats on so many team pinks!

Just wanted to ask, how are you managing this "in-between" period of time?

This time when you don't yet feel the baby kicking, but you feel better, almost too good?

Do a lot of you have Doppler's?

 

[donnarobinson]

I have a doppler this time round bt I didn't with my son.. I use it abit to much tho and sometimes wish I didn't have it lol. Its nice to listen in on baby though x

 

[LucyLake]

Thanks DonnaRobinson . And I'm excited for you about your upcoming scan. I'm thinking of getting one for sure as I have an anterior placenta.

 

[lovelymiss]

LucyLake- I just kind of trust that everything is okay. I've had 3 scans now, so I am feeling pretty good. No doppler. I'd just freak myself out and get frustrated when I couldn't find the HB.

Eltjuh- HOW FRUSTRATING! I'd be livid if I were in your shoes. I'd be calling daily until they booked me.

 

[donnarobinson]

Aww yeh lucy they are nice to have . I doubt ill use it as often once I'm feeling regular movement , I do feel movemenet but I stil worry lol. !
And thank u I can't wait x

 

[donnarobinson]

Babys been kicking away for the last 10 mins lol. X l

 

[Eltjuh]

I'm not too bad in the 'in between'-stage... I've been feeling baby every so often, not every day though (maybe some days I just don't notice).
Think I might have an anterior placenta, cause when I use my doppler I can hear a lot of swooshing sounds... kind of like a heartbeat but it's all over the place, so not just in certain spots... But I KNOW what baby's heartbeat sounds like!

After the things being said about babies having their cords wrapped round their neck I've been kinda freaked out a little, so I decided to try my doppler again this morning, but I couldn't find the heartbeat (hubby is better at it than me!) so I put it away, just sat quietly and jiggled my belly a couple of times and then suddenly got about 5 kicks in a row from baby! And it's kicking/moving again as I'm typing this!

I still don't always feel pregnant... it's quite easy to forget sometimes... especially if baby is being quiet, definitely feel like this one is more quiet than my son was! He was always active and seemed to have a pattern quite early on!!

 

[donnarobinson]

I don't feel pregnant either really ella. I haven't felt baby much the last few days til today. I do normally feel a few kicks everyday tho but can't wait for a proper proper kick lol!

My son didn't move that much only at night, this one seems active morning and evening ..

I do like the doppler as it does ease my mind x
And I would defo keep ringing the midwife if they don't ring u back x

 

[wannabubba#4]

I don't have a Doppler and go between not feeling pregnant and kind of forgetting I am to worrying myself senseless that I have had no movement and that there will be no heartbeat at my next scan

I have very infrequent movement form this baby, and much less than my last pregnancy too - with Dawson I felt him move daily from about 16weeks.
8 days til scan - and yep Ella the cord around the neck stories have me freaked out a bit too

[donnarobinson]

They have me to. So much I had to log of and try and put my mind on something else x

 

[donnarobinson]
