November Sparklers 2014....22 boys, 22 girls born! Please update us!

Yey Twinklie...what a cute picture! :happydance:

I'm actually craving fruit and vegetables...especially peas! I really fancy simple English cooking all the time, like roast chicken, mash and veg. I'm still pretty much off chocolate. But I do crave biscuits and cake!! :blush: xxx
 
Hey ladies have any of u felt early movement? I know it sounds crazy but as of today im 11 wks and we actually felt a small movement hubby and i. And it cant be gas as i know how gas feels and makes me run to the rr. It feels like butterflys and like popcorn popping its amazing!
 
Yes I have it too! Not every day felt it tŵo or three times. Amazing :)
 
Right apple...we also dont feel daily its just a randomly..like days before during bed i felt it like popcorn once and that happened twice but different days and then today but its not an everyday thing. Even though im scared cause i havent found HB on doppler but because im using lotion.
 
I swear ive been feeling daily since last friday. Esp when i sit down, i feel like im being pushed out and bubbling.
I did feel this when using doppler and hb moved.

I agree you can tell not gas mine happens higher up in the front or in lower bum/back lol.
 
Well i cant find hb due to using lotion but the movement made me feel a bit reassured and tomorrow we have a private scan. Fx everything is good.
 
Thanks ladies! Do u ladies know or feel what gender baby is? I feel like mine is a girl but hubby says he feels its a boy.
 
I had my first go of the doppler today and baby came to me and stayed for good 5 mins then moving around alot showing in 160 agai. :D Cloud 9.

Gender im not sure yet ive had 2 girl dreams and 1 boy so far but nothing is pointing me more way than another so 50/50. I didnt have my final guess till 3rd tri with my first.
 
I definitely have no gender inklings yet. DH and I finally talked names a bit and I think we'll agree more easily on girl names, so I bet it's a boy. haha.
 
My Mum thinks it's a boy, Hubby wants a girl. I joke since I've gone off chocolate it must be a boy. :haha:

I really couldn't care less though, just want to have a healthy newborn for Christmas this year. Every childless year, Christmas just depressed me more than the last. :(

As for names, we decided on both a girls name and a boys name, 3 years ago. :dohh: Will just have to see which one we use once the little one arrives. :flower: [-o<
 
I am announcing to my parents this weekend for Easter. Here is what I made to surprise them!

I'm so sorry Chubby Cheeks! :hugs:

Twinklie: Beautiful baby you have there! :) x

Jalanis: Have a wonderful scan.

Teacup: Congrats and welcome. :hi:

AFM: Scan tomorrow, my first one. Very nervous. If all goes well we'll find out gender at 14 weeks but won't reveal it to our families until we have a gender reveal balloon release.
 
Hello ladies. Congrats to you all on your bfps :happydance:
I am due on November 13th with my first. Since this is my first pregnancy I was not sure what to expect at my first dr apt but I left feeling very dissatisfied. Maybe you ladies can share your experience or tell me if what i experienced was normal or not. This might get kinda long, sorry, but i appreciate the feedback.
I was finally able to be seen at 10 weeks along. I first met with a nurse who asked me a bunch of genetic questions (which I expected) she then took me a nurse who took my vitals, who then took me to see the CNM. The midwife basically just asked how I was feeling and if I had any questions and tried to chit chat the rest of the time. This being my first i was overwhelmed and didn't even know what to ask. She told me they don't do scans until 20 weeks and that they only use doppler to confirm hb. I found it odd that at no time did they actually confirm I was pg before this point. After a few mins of looking she found the hb which was in the 160s range which she said was normal. Then i was given some literature to read and escorted out to make my 14 week appointment. I was only with the midwife for about 10-15 mins,
She did not discuss anything about any genetic testing after all the questions i answered so am i to assume they wont be doing any? Is that normal? No scan until 20 weeks?! wouldn't they check to see if things are progressing the way they should? waiting till 20 weeks is halfway through, what if there is something wrong they don't catch till late?


Is that normal for a first apt?
 
Where do you live? That sounds nothing like my first appointment. Waiting until 20 weeks for an ultrasound sounds awful. :hugs:
 
Hi loving, my last Dr's office (which I loved, and I still wish I never had to switch), generally only did that morphology scan (18-20 weeks). At that time I wasn't aware that early scans were SO common, but really I think it's okay. It's fun to see them sooner, but it doesn't necessarily impact your care. I thought of it as more they're just doing what they feel is necessary rather than a bunch of extra stuff. Really those early appts aren't as exciting as there's not as much going on, but that's great that you got to hear the heartbeat. It is really hard to find, and not always even doable, at 10 weeks. Next time it will be easier to find, and, iirc, slower.

The only thing that actually struck me as odd is that they haven't done any bloodwork.

The genetic testing is totally optional, but if you wish to have it done, I think 14 weeks is the latest you can do it. I never did it because it wasn't worth it to me, but lots of people prefer to do it. I'd call them back if you want to have it done because it might be too late when you go for your next appt.

Edit: After my m/c, they did tell me that I could have an earlier scan more for peace of mind. But I was with a new Dr by the time I managed to get pg again. So if you want it done, maybe they will do it if you ask. Sometimes insurance companies will only approve so many scans in a healthy pregnancy also.

I think if you're hearing the hb now, a scan won't be all that valuable at 10 weeks compared to the one they'll do at 20 weeks. I'm no expert, but I think at this point you're already out of the woods for stuff they'd look for earlier.
