Well 30weeks still gives her plenty of time to turn! She just likes to make mommy worry haha

So we had our rescan!

Little girly was STILL breech lol and loves having her hand in her face but we did get a few beauty shots. We saw her hiccup and stick out her tongue too which was super adorable! Come on tho baby please turn the right way!!!

So cute!!! Breech at this stage is not uncommon. The baby turns all the time until they get too big to keep rolling around, then they usually turn and stay head down. So don’t worry there is time!

 

[Aphy]

Very very cute Jary! She is nice and snug in there for now, just being stubborn!

how is everyone doing? I’m still only getting maybe 3-4 hrs of sleep a night due to congestion so I feel crappy and so so tired. Guess it’s good preparation for once baba is here and I have another reason for little sleep

 

[Jary]

Thanks ladies!

She defo does seem cosy like that but I know she's got time to turn so fingers crossed she does!

Im feeling OK! Just achey with SPD so sometimes I wake during the night too Aphy. Or I need to pee!!! Lol!

Scan went well though baba is also lying transverse so he hasn’t moved head down yet either. Currently weighing 1.7kg. With my first pregnancy I cherished every moment of it despite its uncomfortable moments but I find with this one I don’t feel so enamored with it, sometimes just wishing it was done already and then I feel guilty for feeling that way. Hope it doesn’t mean I am going to struggle to bond...

Just got back from my 28w scan, all looking great, placenta is now up high and she is head down and weighs approx 2lbs 7oz. Shes on the 50th centile, my son was the 95th and weighed 8lbs 15oz at birth so hopefully shes a bit more petite!! Haha. Oh and she is still a she!!

Im sure you will be fine Aphy. I think it's probably because you have a child already and you know what to expect now so you're just keen to get on and start enjoying life with this new little man. That's how I feel about this baby - I do love my pregnancy but I just keep thinking about having her here already because then I can interact with her etc.

And baby love thats fantastic that she's head down and on a good centile!!!

 

[missielibra]

Sorry you're sick aphy! I hope you feel better! Good news that all is well with baby. Im sure he'll turn soon!

Babylove, good news about the head down! Haha I hope she'll be a little smaller.

Had my 28weeks apt. 145bpm. 27cm measure for belly. I have officially gained 12lbs. And all is well. She is pretty sure he is head down but with placenta at the front, its a little hard to tell right now 100%

Well I had my 28w midwife appointment yesterday and measured 24cm. Midwife said as everything was fine at the scan she wasnt concerned and all she would have done is sent me for a scan which there is no need as the results from wednesday scan were all fine. She also wasnt my normal midwife and said the other one may measure differently anyway. So basically, by midwife measurement she is on the 5th centile and by the scan she is on the 50th. My son was 95th the whole way through. So I guess it's looking like she will be smaller. Have another scan at 35w so will see what that says, and midwife again at 31w so as long as she is going up on her curve line we should be all good

Hope that all made some kind of sense!!!

Sounds like she's doing good babylove.....shes just probably going to be a petite little girly!

By measurements I think our baby is on 50th centile so she's average!

Also has anyone had issues over names? I thought my husband really liked the name I am so set on but now he's said he's not sold on it but doesn't have a name he's 100% sold on either. Every other name just doesn't seem to jump out at me so I'm worried we are going to get to the point where one of us won't be completely happy with the name we eventually settle on. I've tried not to think about names for a while as it's just frustrating!

I apologize in advance for the very selfish post and I honestly hope this isn’t a trigger for anyone

I just heard my mom has died in a car accident. She was my best and closest friend and my 2.5yr old was crazy about her. Have to somehow tell him in the morning

Oh my god aphy I’m so so sorry!!! My thoughts are with you, I can’t even imagine it

 

[elliecain]

Aphy first of all, I am so sorry for your loss. You are not being selfish or anything and please don’t feel that you can’t talk about it here. This must be an enormous shock and a trauma for you and please tell us as much or as little as you want/need to.
There is no rush with telling your son. He will not benefit from your telling him immediately, so take some time to talk to people first. You need to look after yourself first, as you might not be in a place to support him yet.
Who do you have around you? What will help you get through the next few hours?
I’m thinking of you and sending you love and strength for the hours ahead

 

[Aphy]

Thank you ladies. My parents were traveling in heavy rain to visit my brother in another town when they hit a puddle and slid into ongoing traffic. We leaving in a few hours to go see my dad who is still in hospital. I am feeling so lost. Kyle (my son) loved them so much, he gave them special names- didn’t call them granny and grandpa but rather Baba(my dad) and Kinka(my mom) so when he sees Baba later today he is definitely going to ask for Kinka. We also have to stop at my parents house first before going to my dad to pick up some things for him so Kyle is going to be looking and asking there as well. Our family is such a complicated story and my mom was really the glue between us all, the rock we all revolves around. Daily check ins and regular phone calls and visits a few times a month. I can’t imagine our lives without her

 

[missielibra]

Aphy I am so sorry. I can't even imagine what you are going through right now I am sending you a lot of love, thoughts and prayers right now. Maybe there is a way you could temporarily explain to your son until you have time yourself to process all this

 

[Babylove100]

Aphy I am so so sorry. I cant even imagine the pain your in right now. Sending you love, strength and hugs.x

 

[Jary]

Aphy I am so sorry. I know no words will make any of it better but sending you lots of hugs and sympathy to you and your family!

It's never easy losing a loved one I lost my grandad 19 years ago this year and I still miss him like crazy.

 

[cnote]

Aphy I’m so saddened by your news, I’m so sorry your family has experienced a loss like this. First, permit yourself to process this news and get all the information you need to on your fathers condition. Don’t worry about telling your son just yet. In fact, you may want to wait until you feel emotionally ready for that. I’d ask the doctor how they recommend you break that news to kids....your son will be okay. I know what you mean by your mom being the glue in the family, my mom is that in our family too. I just can’t imagine how you all are feeling. You can always tell us here how you’re feeling. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

My dad has been discharged and we had him sleep by us last night so he isn’t alone and from tonight he is back at their house and my sister them from New Zealand will stay there. Unfortunately whenever I grieve my body rebels and I become unable to eat or sleep so I haven’t done either since Friday which is really really bad for baba. I have tried forcing myself to eat but it results in vomiting and nausea. Was sleeping terribly even prior to this all because of the pregnancy rhinitis but now it’s no sleep at all; my brain just won’t switch off

 

[Jary]

It takes time Aphy. It'll be hard in the beginning but with time it will get a little easier.

The important thing is keeping up with your fluids. Don't worry too much at this point about eating meals and if you want to eat something that isn't healthy etc or snacks then just go for it.

Lots of hugs to you!
