[AshleyLK]

Stacey- I love the jungle decals! So sweet!

We have our gender scan tomorrow morning! Very excited to see our little bean!

 

[kel21]

Kel is your gender scan the 23rd also?

MamaMac-- I understand that fear my brother was in Iraq back in 2006 when my niece was born. I have a cousin who has just returned from Afghanistan. I stopped watching the news while my brother was over there.

Yes mine is on the 23rd too. I can't wait!

Good luck Ashley!

Love the nursery stacey!

Morning all, that nursery is beautiful!
I went to see consultant yesterday and they did a little scan as I haven't been feeling baby moving at all and I'm 18 weeks. Baby was moving around like crazy lol and im just not feeling a thing- I feel so relieved.
I cannot wait for my anatomy scan on the 28th
Hope everyone else is well.
Anyone having a scan today?

Xxxx

Also i've got a question, you know those cotton hats what baby wears soon as he or she is born? how long do they have to wear them for? as in days or weeks? x

It's really weird cause here in uk as my babies have had hair at birth I had been told NOT to put on a hat in doors due to over heating, and even babies with no hair, a hat isn't put on them anyway, it's parent preference and if they have one to put on the baby.
Outside yeh cause they wre both born in winter but inside with the heating been on etc they never wore a hat.

Ljo that's funny. I'd love to have a baby with a full head of hair! All my babies have been bald for months! My first was bald and toothless at her first birthday

my midwife stressed the importance of hats, maybe it was cos they were bald? I never even considered babies with hair

 

[ljo1984]

My SIL's were all bald and hats optional. It's just a county difference thing I guess lol. My youngest didn't get a tooth till 13 month mega cute lol but yeh both hairy and I paid forgot with mega heartburn ha ha.

Where in NZ are you? We were there in nov/dec visiting our friends in tauranga. She's coming over to be my birth partner (if it doesn't come early :-/ ) can not wait to have her home xx

Our hospital told us they need one for the first 24 hours but after that only when outside if in a heated house. It does also depend on baby as to when they'll need to wear one. Some babies are hotter than others. Xander used to sweat buckets very easily as a newborn when he was too hot, totally took me by surprise!! I didn't think they could sweat!

Thanks ladies for your suggestions! I ended up going in and they sent me up to Women's Health and did an exam and my cervix was closed and no amniotic fluid leaking or anything. They didn't look at baby or listen but were confident that everything was fine and just cramping due to stretching and possibly not drinking enough water. She's been pretty active this morning and I'm going to try not to worry about the heartbeat thing because I was reading that them moving can make it sound like the heart skips a beat, even though I didn't feel or hear her move when it happened, I wouldn't doubt it because she moves a lot! Our anatomy scan is in a week so I will find out everything then anyways.

newlywed2013- Sometimes my BHs can get pretty uncomfortable, I've been feeling them for a few weeks now. It feels like a tight squeeze and my uterus will get hard by touch for a few seconds and then it will go soft again.

So glad you got checked out honey. Hope your feeling less worried

Aww that will be really nice if she makes it, what a long trip! Did she move to NZ?

We are in Nelson, top of the South Island so it does get very cold over night. Winter doesn't start officially till next month and im already feeling it.

Beautiful nursery! Love how your dog is photo bombing the pic!

 

[zephyr]

Aww lucky yoyo! I really hope we get a full head of hair this time.

one of my twins had a teeny thin patch of hair on the top of his head (about 20 strands if that) and a very little amount on the sides. With him being 5.13 he was teeny and very wrinkly and so his hair made him look like a little old man. Was very cute tho.

 

[vickyandchick]

I'm hoping this one comes out with a full head of hair, I had a shock of dark hair that stuck straight up and FOB came out with loads of dark curly hair so fingers crossed
And I always thought babies wore hats for the first day or two because they come out with cone heads

Hey, this was my thread. Starbrites - The heartbeat seemed to go back to normal a day later. Hope everything was okay for you! x

 

[XFliss18X]

Both of my children were born with no hair lol in fact they were both still almost bald at first birthday.
I'm hoping this baby has a head full of hair.
I'm in the UK too but never been told had to wear hat on babas, I think it's an optional thing really. I love hats though so have always done as I pleased.
Xxx

Yeh they went just over 2 years ago now it is a long way, I always tell her she should have moved to bloody Spain lol. It was chilly when we were there, we were in oz for two week before and was red hot. We were gonna go over in jan too but flights are double what we paid last year and we want to take kids to disney world too so trying to get them to meet us there lol. I really do miss her she won't really Skype cause she finds it too hard so only ever get to text her x

 

[StarBrites]

SisterRose- Her heart is still beating funny today. I decided to take a video of it, here it what it sounds like:

I'm trying not to freak out, but it's really worrying me especially since I don't feel her hard kicks and movements anymore. Just little pops. Ughhhhhhhh.
