May's Munchkins 2015

Forums New posts
Picksbaby perfect excuse to go shopping!! A skater dress is perfect for hiding the bloat, I have a fantastic one from Topshop maternity that's very flattering!.

I'm having trouble getting hold of my midwife centre urgh I need my referral to the specialist anti natal consultant sent through right away!
 
Hello everyone, how are you all feeling. Its great for those who have gotten an early peek at their baby. My dating scan is the end of October which seems like a life time away!

My nausea keeps coming and going, but I've had a good day today with no ickyness (which just leaves me feeling paranoid that there is no baby! :wacko: )

Hurry up scan!!!
 
So I thought my crazy nausea was the progesterone. Turns out we are having twins!!
 
Anyone else in the UK seen their midwife and got their scan date yet? I was told to wait for the midwife to ring me and I've not heard yet. Am 8+2 now and would've thought I'd have heard by now!?!

Can't believe how many twins there are - wow!!

I've been feeling rough as anything and am exhausted! Can't wait to start feeling slightly more normal again.
 
I'm in the UK. I guess it varies by region, but my first appointment will be at 7+6, and the scan date will be decided at that appointment. So far I've only talked to the central appointments people though.

OMG! Exciting! My husband keeps bugging me that I am probably having twins! my nausea is to the extreme now. I remember last time being bad but seriously I can barely get through a day and that is with a full strength prescription of Diclectin. Now I am going to be paranoid until my appointment!!
 
So my symptoms so far, insomnia, really hungry and thirsty, mild cramping, peeing more (but drinking more too so maybe not a symptom). And heartburn! I haven't had that since last time I was pg. yuck. No ms yet!
 
American ladies (I know things are done very differently in other countries): when do you plan to (or when did you) get your flu shot? My work is giving me a hard time and I don't see my ob for a month. Getting it first tri really is okay, right???
 
Kiss - i dont see why it wouldn't be ok to get it first trimester. Always check with your OB but it's probably fine?

Congrats on the twins Kazy! Wow lots of twin mama's here!!
 
I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a flu shot in first tri! I don't think it's harmful for the baby? I'm seeing my dr tomorrow so I will ask her.
 
Kellya009 - Thank you!! The photo is old. My baby is a toddler now. :(

I'm so happy we're having another one but the thought of a newborn AND a 2 year old is starting to freak me out a bit. I'm not sure how 2 is going to work. Anyone else?

How does everyone plan on announcing there pregnancy and when? My family aren't going to be very happy on the news they really dislike my partner... But his family will be over the moon. We've got a family gathering in the middle of October think we will tell his then maybe when we have everyone together. Then mine will probably get a phone call... Don't think I could tell them face to face on my own and take the negative comments

My in laws never wanted kids in the first place. they didn't exactly react the way first time grandparents should/would when told they are getting their first grandbaby. in fact we told them on christmas with my family there, and they somehow made it about them "we should told them in private" a. I knew they were going to have a crappy reaction b. it was NEVER about YOU! its about your FIRST GRANDCHILD!!! So we arent looking forward to telling them about this one. I'm terrified that they'll ask me to get an abortion. I would never speak to them again. Husband seems to think they wouldn't. but I think they might.

Don't get me wrong, they arent horrible grandparents...but they arent the best. They are originally from Indiana, and they were making plans to go home for vacation. (this was back in like june) So I was asking for the dates (my husband or I always watches their kitties while they are gone) and she told me aug 25-sept 12 or something like that. I literally froze...and said "so you guys aren't gonna be here for her (danica's) birthday?" (her birhtday is Aug 31) The look on her face totally told me that they had FORGOTTEN THEIR ONLY GRANDDAUGHTERS BIRTHDAY! she goes "well those are the dates...so I guess" I literally couldnt speak. I had no idea what to say to that. They ended up going, and not going to indiana, but the whole point is they forgot her birthday. Thats just an example of what I'm talking about.

But we plan on giving her a bracelet that says "I love my grandkids" see if she figures it out, and dani will have a big sister tee on. for facebook, we plan on taking pumpkin pictures with our birth years on them....

Sorry my rant...hahaha

For my in-person, family announcements, we will have my one year old daughter wear a shirt that says: There's a turkey in Mommy's oven! We will be seeing everyone for Thanksgiving (a US holiday where we eat turkey - this year it's on November 27). I will be 14.5 weeks then. I'd tell family sooner but that's the next time we will see everyone as we live out of town!

For my Facebook announcement, I'm planning on having my family picture taken with a big pumpkin (daddy), a slightly smaller pumpkin (mommy), a small pumpkin (daughter), and a tiny baby pumpkin (for baby, obviously) as say, "We're adding another pumpkin to our patch! Coming May 2015."

I may have thought about this a lot... haha

I had this idea too, for the record...I didn't steal it from you!!! I mentioned it awhile ago! I just didnt want you to think I stole from you!
 
4th set of twins!!!!!!!!!!!! wow!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats Kazy!

Added new people and adjusted edd for ZooMa =)

The military does ob weird. I had my first "intake". Just paper work and junk. The next appointment will be an actual appointment with my ob and a u/s. so we will get to see bean on Oct 9th. Then we dont get another until 20 weeks. unless there are problems. I had 4 with dani. 1 at 7 weeks because I was bleeding. 10 weeks, 20 weeks and they saw a hole in her heart, so we had to go back at 25 (it closed up by itself) so we saw her 4 times. I get to hear the heartbeat every appointment tho.

For my non us ladies, is a midwife standard? Just curious, cause thats i see people talk about. Do you not have obs?
 
Wow, congrats Kazy! I found out we were expecting twins last week, and I'm still in shock. Glad to see there are so many of us in here together! Are yours fraternal or identical?

Just another Canadian checking in here, Calgary!
 
Rachelle in Canada you can choose an OB or a midwife and both are covered by Medicare. At least that's how it is in bc. Our midwives are going on strike at the end of the year though to get more schooling seats opened up. I have a new GP whom I love and hope she does prenatal and deliveries but I have a feeling she doesn't... It was so hard for me to find care last time and I was really unhappy being at a rotating mat clinic. Hope it's different this time around.
 
Wow there are a lot of twins coming in May!! I've never seen so many in one thread! Wooow go May!!

There's quite a lot of US mummy here, I'm one of the uk mummy's. With my first pregnancy I only saw my midwife had a very textbook pregnancy was nice simple only problem was me fainting, but this time I'm with a consultant led midwife I'm not to sure what it mean but I see a consultant every two weeks at the moment and regular scans and just see my midwife at the same time as every other mum. I'm not sure what happens at 12weeks when I stop being part of the clinic I'm in at the moment I should move over to another clinic closer to my home. I should have regular scans till baby is born.

Is anyone think of having a early gender or a 4d scan later in pregnancy? I had both with my daughter and would love to do the same again it wether the other half agrees
