Good luck on today's scans ladies!!!

I know a lot of you already have kids. I was wondering what your opinion is on bedside sleepers? I've seen a couple of basinets that slide up the bed, and one that even partially sits on the side of the bed.

I'm a clueless first time mom, but I do like the idea of having the baby super close by, but not actually IN the bed. I'd be afraid of squishing him!

 

[Livvy]

Aww she's beautiful tatty.

 

[Mattsgirl]

Oh tatty, I hope you're able to get the surgery that will be best for your little girl.

Bicornbump, I've had 2 kids and just like 2 weeks ago saw the one that one that partially sits on the bed. I would totally use that!! Our first ended up in bed with us a lot. Always propped up on a pillow so we didn't roll on him and our girl slept on my chest for the firs 2 months. But I never felt like I slept good because of how light I slept knowing that they were that close and not wanting to hurt them. Having them on the side cot would be really convenient for night feeds without worrying about hurting baby.

Oh Tatty, so sorry to hear this, sending hugs & positive thoughts your way x

We had our scan yesterday & baby is great... even managed to stay team yellow which surprises me as usually I'm so impatient! Will be a lovely surprise though

Good luck to all the ladies having scans x

Congrats Kate

Bicorn, do you mean like a co sleeper? With ds we had a Moses basket and a cot. He hated his Moses basket for nighttime so went straight into his cot. I'm hoping this one likes the co sleeper we're getting as the cot doesn't fit in our room

Just finished the scan and waiting to hear from the dr, but, it's a girl!

 

[broodymrs]

Congrats on pink Miranda!

 

[MiBabyHopes]

so the tech said all looks good but she did say that i was measuring a week behind but that matches better to when i ov'd so... they did find out the gender but it's in a sealed envelope ready for a baker to make a cake.

 

[broodymrs]

Congrats babyhopes

 

[katestar53]

Congrats on your scans ladies x

 

[katestar53]

Ladies with anterior placenta... are you feeling much yet? I've felt the odd twinge but nothing consistent yet Hope I start feeling this little one soon x

 

[Ellivort]

Congrats to everyone on their scans! Mine is in exactly a week and I'm excitedly nervous. I have a lot of anxiety about it. i just want all to be well and healthy!

Thinking of you Tatty and hoping for the best for beautiful little Charlotte.

Baby has repositioned and now my bump is smaller and I mostly just look fat again. Ugh. lol. Earlier this week the bump was very pronounced. The good side of it is that it has become comfortable to sleep again!

I'm still feeling pretty well. Tired mostly, anxious a lot. I've started training a replacement for me at work, just in case i go off early and it has been going well.

I'm feeling more movement, but still not a lot. I know it's because I am in the obese category, but I really wish I could feel more movement as a reassurance! I'm also excited for DD (and hubby) to be able to feel baby kicking.

The holidays are quickly approaching and this will be our last spoiling just one child . So hubby and I are trying to real it in a bit. DD has been a bit spoiled to this point.

I can't wait to find out the gender so we can decorate the nursery. It's been sitting empty with all the furniture boxed and waiting for placement after we paint the walls! Hubby has his heart set on a little boy, but I feel it will be a girl. I know we will be happy regardless, but I am hoping for boy for Hubby and so we have one of each!

It's going to be a busy few months at our house!

Such an exciting time in here. I love seeing all the scans!

Katestar so glad all was well and great that you resisted temptation. I have anterior placenta and I'm 22 weeks today and not feeling loads. It's frustrating because for about a week I was feeling loads but this last 5 days hardly anything at all!

Miranda congratulations on your team

MiBabyHopes so glad all is well, look forward you finding out what baby is

Ellivort good luck at your scan. My bubs has done the same thing and moved so my bump has gone and I just look fat, I'm not happy lol. Can hardly geek movement now either and that was after a week if regular wriggling. I'm also in the obsessed category and a bit bummed because I know it will take longer for my oh and ds to feel on the outside.

Hope everyone is well

 

[broodymrs]

I'm having a small bump day too. It's annoying as with ds I was huge! I'm not feeling too great, I just don't do well with pregnancy. Really looking forward to starting my mat leave, my replacement is starting mid Dec but I've started training up the potentials now. I can't wait for dh to feel kicks, I've felt a few from the outside but they're few and far between. My ds is really spoilt too. We reined it in a bit for his bday and he didn't seem to notice so hopefully xmas will be the same. I feel a bit bad though as I really stressed to everyone to rein it in (my family gets a bit crazy with buying for extended family anyway and I've already said I'm not doing it at xmas). People mostly listened, but my mum took it to the other extreme. She bought him a coat, a jumper and a toy shopping basket. I left the basket at hers as I know he won't play with it here as he's got a trolley and a toy shop already. I felt a bit upset that my mum hadn't got him much at all. I know that's so ungrateful of me! She's on a good wage at the moment but she is reducing her hours at xmas so is cutting back but I kind of felt it went too far. I know she'd bought him a lot of clothes that were too small so she gave them to my nephew. I hope she didn't just not buy anything to replace them. Omg, I sound so mean! And have gone completely off track so I'm shutting up now!

I've been nauseous the last few days and I'm really hoping it's baby related and not whatever bug that's been going around my work office.

My little lady is all over the place, she was doing flips during the ultrasound haha, I'm surprised I have a bump at all with how she moves I would of thought it'd disappear, especially since she's closer to my cervix then the top of the uterus

 

[button05]

Had my scan today! Little man is fine but my placenta is anterior and also touching my cervix. Got to have another scan at 32 weeks to check it's moved, otherwise it's a c section for me.

I'm in the same boat with placenta being too low lying for natural birth. I was probably heading for a section anyway though

 

[katestar53]

It's very common to have a low placenta but as your uterus grows it should move out the way, I think 9 times out of 10 it does My first born I was one of the unlucky ones & was diognosed with placebta previa so had a section but baby was perfect & no complications at all they just didn't want to risk me having a natural birth x

 

[broodymrs]

Anyone else get really bad restless legs? It's only when I'm tired. Dh is putting ds to bed and I'm literally laying her twitching, it's horrible. I really need to go to bed!

 

[justplay91]

Broodymrs, yes! I actually use an electric heating pad on mine and that helps a lot. Otherwise i have to stretch them constantly or they get so uncomfortable I can't sleep.
