I think I may have just felt baby. Just some tapping very low. That was definitely not gas.

Yay for feeling baby!

my SIL’s first was not even 5 lbs and her 2nd was 7-12 and she said pushing was sooo much harder with the 2nd baby!!

My first was 6-1 and second girl was 5-8. I remember the doctors being concerned they are small but that was perfect for me.

I can't even imagine having a baby so tiny! My babies were all big. First born 8+1, second born 7+7 (and he seems SO small to me!)., third born 9+6.

All 4 of mine have been 6ib odd and 2 of them was 3 weeks early and the other 2 on time x

8lb 2oz, 8lb 9oz, 8lb 15oz, 8lb 7oz and 8lb 2oz and all over due.

I take my hat off to you. I can’t imagine what I would do to myself if this child is overdue. I was crying to my doctors for an induction at 35/36 weeks with my last, I was over it, lucky she came 38 naturally.

First scan yesterday. All went well. Measured 13+3. Placenta is upper posterior. Any ideas on boy or girl?

Hello baby.

I’ll leave the guessing to the experts. What you thinking?

 

[sadeyedlady]

Its so hard to know to be honest! Hoping its a boy, have 2 already and it would just make things easier. Kinda looks like a girl nub to me but its so hard to tell

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@sadeyedlady well hey baby! Happy all is looking good! I’m no good at bubs and skull theory’s? I just guess! Haha! It’s tricky! Are you going to find out?

I would love a baby girl but having a boy will work out so much better with our bedroom situation. I’m happy either way as long as baby is healthy but it feels so long since I had a pink one! Think I am swaying more so in finding out! Would be nice to experience it differently after 5 team yellows!

i think you should find out simply to have that experience as well. This is your last right?

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@daniyaaq yes sadly I think it’s the last! Not think.... it is the last!!!! I’m not sure I wanna do morning sickness again and I know as I get bigger the harder it becomes! Running around after 5 and being a bit older my body really hurts towards the end. I’m definitely swaying more to finding out this time!

 

[Mummy2Corban]

How are you feeling about it? Team yellow?

 

[daniyaaq]

How are you feeling about it? Team yellow?

DP is definitely making us team yellow. I really love teasing him about it and just his overall reaction. But I reckon I’ll find out probably much much later on.

it’s actually sad to think this might be my last not because I don’t want anymore kids but like you I don’t think I can deal with sickness full time work and running after other kids. It’s way way harder and wouldn’t want to do it again.

10 weeks today! I'm able to find baby's heartbeat on the doppler every morning so it's making me feel secure. I'm always so happy to get past those first few early weeks. I got blood work done today - they took 8 vials!! I don't even know what all of it was - complete blood count, some immunity checks, and the NIPT screening were some of them. Has anyone else had NIPT? How long did it take to get results?

I love how a lot of you are slightly ahead. I love hearing about everyone feeling movements and getting bumps and knowing it won't be too too long until I get there too. The first trimester is dragging so it's nice to have some things to look forward to.

Oh the first tri just drags sooo much you’re right!! I’m so eager to start showing, stop throwing up, have some energy again and be able to go out and do Things again. Well, I mean everything’s locked down here because of covid (I feel like Canada is the only place still in lockdown??) but I can take my kids to their school and go to work again.

I think I have a bump! I’ve noticed my tummy is a bit bigger when trying to sleep on it and this morning I had a bump in the AM rather than just after eating... so I think it’s real! I’ll take a bump pic in the next few days when I don’t feel like crap. Reassures me that baby is growing at least!

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@daniyaaq teamyellow is amazing (frustrating sometimes) I love babies but we will run out of space!!! Plus at some point I’ll have 6 moody teenagers!!! Haha!!!!

@sil yay to 10 weeks!!!! Awesome you can find baby on the Doppler so frequently. And yes the first tri totally drrraaaaagggs! Wow! 8 vials of blood! Have you any blood left?

@Reiko_ctu please post a picture when your ready! Love a bump pic! When I lay down I can feel my uterus so I guess you could say I’m thicker than I was! Ha! But still no definite bump!

My results came back low risk.
1 in 1154 for downs and 1 in 100 000 for the others.
Phew. Was a bit scared to open them as I ve had such a rubbish day at work.even had a patient die during my visit so I had to verify her death

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@topazicatzbet im sorry to hear you’ve had a bad day. Big hugs having to verify one of your patients death. Must be tough. Great news on your results!! It’s always nerve wracking getting those results but good when they come back like that.

As you ladies no my sister in law had her baby last night, she was one day off 35 weeks, so not massively early, he weighs 5ib 9, to start with he was feeding really well from a bottle and they said they would be home in 48 hours, but today baby has started being very sick, so they might have to tube feed now and looks like they will be in hospital until next Wednesday the earliest x
