24/7 - you actually don't need the anti-d shot if the father of the baby is RH- too.
They often just default to giving you the shot in case of infidelity (which many women will not admit to, lol). So if you know your OH's type, you don't need the shot.
I know I'm RH- and my DH is RH+ so I'm screwed Oh well, shot at 28 weeks, shot if any bleeding, shot if baby is RH+

Hubby doesn't know what he is, so shot for me, rather air on the side of caution for beanie. xx

Ah makes sense lol

I'm hoping I only get two. I got my shot at 7 weeks for spotting, i'll get a shot again at 28 weeks, unless I have spotting after 20 weeks but before 25 I'll have to have it again. My son was Rh-, so here is to hoping that this little one is Rh- too, and save me from 3 shots!

By months, second trimester is 12 weeks. By weeks, second trimester is 13w3d, but most practitioners, websites, midwives, etc will round second trimester up to 14 weeks, or down to 12 weeks, depending on where you live.

Lots to catch up on! Brandi yay for team pink, be interesting to see if its right.

24/7 im sorry your not feeling great, why did the crisps say they were suitable if they are not, I would sue lol.

I had my nuchal scan today, and baby was wriggling, very happy in there. There was a problem detected with growth though so we have to go back on friday for another doctor to scan then see a genetic counsellor on monday. Looks like a CVS next week too. Bit shocked tbh.

Hope everyone can manage to eat a bit more soon, and feel better

 

[lisaf]

mummy - do they do the blood tests too or just the scan? Did they say what the growth issue was or might be?

 

[hopefulmama]

Mummy i'm sorry to hear that i hope everything is ok

 

[mummy3]

Thanks girls

Lisa, yep had the bloods but the growth problems were picked up on the scan, will know more on friday, but its related to limb lenghth.

My son is seeing a geneticist for suspected dwarfism so im pretty worried it maybe something similar, we wouldnt mind but we still dont have a set diagnosis for our son so dont know how bad could be

 

[luckyme225]

mummy, I hope everything is ok hopefully you will get some answers Friday.

Ok ladies!! I SPILLED THE BEANS!!!! I know I needed to do it before our Halloween party because everyone would figure it out by my stomach + me not drinking. Well I didn't know when I was going to do it because I was scared but I got my doppler tonight and just check, got a heart rate of 168-174!!! I figured now would be as good as time as any. I had to force myself to put the doppler away I was so excited. I feel like I can take a sigh of relief. I was so worried about something going wrong with my hematoma.

 

[luckyme225]

oopppss duplicate haha.

 

[lisaf]

mummy - I understand your worries because of your son's condition. But I know tons of ladies who were told the limbs were too short etc but the baby hit a growth spurt before birth and the baby came out totally normal and healthy.
I didn't think they measured limbs this early? I mean of course they do obviously since they measured yours, its just not really routine, is it? The less routine it is, the less data they may have on what are normal fluctuations etc.
I know its impossible to dismiss worries with your son's condition.. but doctors just don't seem to be that great at some of this stuff (telling women they will probably miscarry because there is just a sac... when really the woman just ovulated late and isn't as far along as they thought etc)

yay! glad you got to hear the HB bean's hb was 163 yesterday.

 

[wild2011]

sorry to hear theres a prob with growth mummy, hope u get everything sorted,

lisa they not interested here in uk if u know oh/dh blood group they dont take it into account, if ur resus neg, u get the shot unless u refuse ..i had the shot after 2 of mine, and on 1 wasnt needed as she was the same blood group as me, but hey, the mw said oh well cant be same father, i almost knocked her off her feet, stupid stupid woman how dare she, and thats bull anyway so she really could have got in a lot of trouble then. grrr lol

2nd tri is 13 weeks plus couple of days, usually rounded to 14 weeks local to me.xx

mummy - I hope everything is ok

I'm still feeling a bit icky today, no headache though!!

The pie OH made last night was revolting! OH and Dylan loved it but I only had about 2 mouthfuls before I gave up And it turns out the bacon OH bought was a huge chunk of cooking bacon, not normal bacon so I couldnt even have a bacon and mushroom sarnie

I *think* I have been feeling teeny fluttery baby movements over the past few days

 

[wild2011]

aww wiggler, not good, men eh. ive got bacon but really couldnt even think about eating it. ive had a piece of plain toast, went to bed early again was really sick again when dh got in.

my girls are wanting to go out for a bit today , so i may take them out for a walk to the shops and maybe treat them to chippy if i can stomach the smells lol xxxxxxxxx

 

[Wiggler]

aww hun, hopefully the fresh air will do you some good.

I actually managed to stay up last night to watch Hollyoaks Later, shame its rubbish this year

I'm hoping to feel better by Saturday as we are going to be out most of the day shopping for presents and party food (I'm awful for leaving stuff til the last minute) and maybe go to KFC as an early birthday treat for Dylan

Which reminds me, wasps arent usually buzzing round this time of year are they? Last time I went to KFC they were EVERYWHERE from a nest in the bin outside

Hi ladies. Sadly I will be leaving may blossoms.

My worst fears came true again yesterday and the heartbeat is no longer there. Baby has died. I. Be opting for medical management to avoid another dnc. Just hope it works.
