*** May Babies ***

[daisyfflur]

Hi- I'm new to second tri, first time poster in here. I had a private scan yesterday and it was great and have officially announced it. I'm due may 16th and it can't come soon enough. Still waiting for my 12 week scan letter nearly three weeks after my first midwife appointment, how long did you all gave to wait? Anyway just saying hello. Finally beginning to think this is going to happen and we are so happy x

Congratulations and welcome.

My midwife called the hospital to make the appointment the first time I saw her. She could not get me an early scan so booked the NT 12 week scan there and then and checked the time and date with me. But I do not think many places do it like that.

I got my letter about 10 days after seeing the doctor at 9 weeks. it was both the booking in appointment and 12 week scan. But both were slightly later as i think that is how things work here. I have my first scan at 13+5. Just got my letter through for my 20 week scan and I'll be 23 weeks by the time that comes around.

Hi Laney =) Hope you feel better soon...

Hope everyone that's feeling sick feels better today. Hugs

Good Luck Shawnie! I am sure it will be so fun and exciting!

i couldnt believe i had 2 chase the dr after paying that amount of money but it is ok in the end as i have a 1 in 9813 risk factor. i hope your baby is better soon shady_r. how many children have u got?

Glad your numbers are ok, you shouldnt have had to chase the drs for it though.....I got 3 boys oldest 6, middle one 4, b 5 in December, youngest 1, they are little angels when they wanna be lol, little rascals when they are not wanting to cooperate lol.....Kids eh......Mojo my baby is 23 months old, hell be 2 the end of this month, I have had to give him ventolin before, was horrible the first few times, he has a spacer to use too, but trying to get that mask over his face was a nightmare, hes ok with it now though, I guess cause I use mine in front of him, hes not so scared......My cramp did go after, thankfully, I hate it when I get cramp as I suffer really badly with it, I just gotta keep up the milk, hopfully that will hold it off.......Ill be watching x factor soon too lol, Im hoping that John and Edward go soon, but oh was reading something on yahoo I think, something about them being set to win it......I really hope not.......How is everyone doing today, hello to the newboes n second tri, hope your well........

Hi ladies! Today I was good energy wise - but the nausea was back full force - unfortunately. I mean - no vomiting, but LOTS of gagging. Fun Fun. Just when I think I'm in the clear.... ah well.

I go back to the doctor tomorrow. So excited. Love going for my check-ups! Still hoping for another ultrasound and a gender guess... but not guessing i'll get one. I have lots of questions for her this time... i should probably write them all down so I don't forget them!

Anyhow - I'll update tomorrow when I get home... but most of you will probably be in bed already since my appt is late in the day here... which puts it WAY late for you ladies overseas....

I have only really suffered from nausea since being 5+5. I've been sick twice and both times were tiny amounts but Saturday, being practically 13 weeks we went to a friends house to go and see some fireworks, had a glass of lemonade and promptly threw up like nothing I've ever done before. Literally 20 mins before that I was telling everyone how much better I was feeling. Thats a fantastic example of sods law I think. What made be laugh though was I'd been hovering (obviously) around a table with pringles on it and had some in my hand when I rushed off to be sick and I was still clinging onto them when I reappeared a few mins later. Some things are worth hanging on to apparently.

Hey guys!!!! Can i come in????
Had my second scan last Friday and the babies are doing great!
So i'm officially due May 17th, Consultant has said that if everyone stays nice and healthy then they will leave me untill May 10th before inducing me. However she did say that most twin pregnancies only last until 37 weeks, so looks like i could be an April Mummy!!
My ms has vanished and has been replaced with chronic back ache and sciatica!
How is everyone else doing??? Missed you all when you all started dissapearing over!!!!
xxxx

 

[Shady_R]

Lol funny hanging on to the pringles, that sounds like something I would do too lol, as I wouldnt think to drop anything ha ha.......Thats great that your scan went well and the babies are doing good, hope the sciatica dont last too long though, can you get physio for that I cant remember........Well I am doing better today so far, I havent had any breakfast yet, I will be getting that in a few though after I have out baby to bed, gotta change his nappy first though lol, he stinks, they love mum really dont they lol......I gota ring my Drs this morning, they rang me friday evening and I was at the drs with the baby lol, ah well, I will find out what they wanted, I think its the swine flu jab they were ringing for......Hope everyone is well today, speak soon......xx

 

[jolou]

oh my theres a few more to add to the list i see i shall do it a bit later on, im having a quick skive from doing housework.

Logansmama, thats what i thought about the c section...i just thought if its a week early il be an april mummy...i wanna stay may! lol and mojo thats part of my wanting to elect this time for the c-section, my labour with sophie was so stressful in the last few hours i dont remember a damn thing and tbh i resent how they left me pushing for an hour when sophie was completely stuck (she was trying to come out with her nose and eyebrows first..she wouldnt have gotten out that way at all) and according to my midwife now the stress was most likely the reason why i didnt produce any milk for about a month after having her. I really dont want to go through it again or even go through the worry my whole pregnancy the same will happen (im a worrywort lol).

Annywhooo as for me this weekend i dressed up as a pirate (tho looked like a gyposy lol) for a belated halloween party and tbh i was a bit of a grump! i didnt really fancy going as most of my OH's friends arent my cup of tea, my back was killing me like mad and to top it off it was raining and we werent allowed in the house! we had to stand under a leaking gazeboo...funny enough tho the g/f of the friend of OH was in the house with her friends.. told u i was a right grump lol.

On saturday we ended up buying a wii with the new wii-fit plus, its ment to be my christmas present but ive said we will wrap it up and let sophie open it, she will be made up had a little go on sunday (you have to test these things) and had so much fun, theres a few things i can do on there whilst pregnant that wont do any damage so its a fun way for me to keep fit in the later months

I chased the hospital for my scan date and again they said they have no details about me whatsoever and I'm out of area and they have to send off something the the GPs surgery blah blah so I called the midwife and she says they sent everything off on the 20th October and said she'd find out what's going on. Five mins later she called to say that after a little searching they've found my notes but as I should of had my bloods done by now can I come to the community hospital to do them and bring a sample tomorrow morning. So here's my question, is my sample supposed to be the first wee of the day or not the first wee of the day or does it not matter?

 

[bexxie]

First wee of the day hun
xx

 

[OmiOmen]

My midwife always says the fresher the better (although I have taken morning wee in and it was not a problem).

 

[daisyfflur]

I don't know what I'm thinking! The appointment is at 8.45am! First wee of the day it is.

thanks all.

Hi ladies.

I haven't been on here for a few weeks now and thought I would pop in to see how everyone's getting on. I was amazed to see my thread has now gone on to 5 pages! I'm sorry I wasn't around to do the dates on the first post. I will move them on the first post later if you like? Thanks for sorting it all out JoLou!!

So how is everyone feeling today?

I am feeling fine. I have had headaches and migraines every day for about 2 weeks now but I feel ok so far today. Must make sure I drink plenty of juice!

I have been a bit worried as I have been having a few pains in my lower belly last night and today. I have been REALLY horny the past week or so (sorry if TMI!!!!) and can't get enough of sex at the moment! I am just worried we've hurt the baby. I'm hoping its just my uterous stretching though!

Also I can feel the baby when I touch my lower stomach. It feels hard just under my skin - is this normal? It feels too close to the surface!
