October Rainbow Babies!!!

[rm16]

Hello everyone! Congrats on all the good scans and growing bumps

I have convinced myself AGAIN that something's wrong, even though I am definitely getting a bit fat now! Can't wait til I can feel movement, if I get that far. Is anyone else still having little paranoid panic times? I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow, thought by now I'd feel safe but maybe I won't ever!

 

[beth30]

I don't feel "safe" either. I was starting to feel okay, but then I got some news about some people I know.... I won't feel good until the baby is in my arms.

Hi ladies! Well, Friday the 13th was lucky for us! We have two very healthy babies on board! DH and I are finally starting to believe this is really going to happen!

They gave our risk factor there and then (bloods & scan) and we are delighted with the numbers! Such a huge relief!!

I've made a switch in my mind now and have started planning for their arrival, I know it's early but twins tend to come early and the 3rd tri can make getting about difficult. I probably won't actually buy anything until they reach the point of viability but will have researched and chosen most things by then - I am a Project Manager, can't help myself!

Has anyone else started planning?

Hope - great news on low risk factor, really happy for you x

I started going through baby clothes that I already had and choosing which ones the baby would wear but after the bleed I had from last week I think I'm going to wait until mid 2nd tri. I'm planning things in my head tho

 

[rm16]

Hope that's amazing news! Congrats My head is planning even though I'm trying to tell it not to!

I'm 16 weeks today though, the sun is shining and it's my birthday, so hopefully a good day is in store Getting so round in the tummy now that people will start to notice...or think I have been on the pies! Hopefully they'll be too polite to comment though

Hope - Awesome news! So glad the scan went well!

Happy birthday RM!

I'm definitely still scared that something's going to go wrong. I use my doppler at least every other day, or when I need that reassurance. But I'm also afraid if I won't be able to find it on my own, so I'm trying not to use it that much. I've started planning for this little one (nursery ideas and a registry) but won't be nervous until I'm holding him/her in my arms.

Oh, and here's my 14 week bump shot!

Aaah thanks girls xxx hope everyone has a good week x
Love the bump tweak!

 

[Wilfbown]

Well, my doppler has arrived and it was brilliant! Found the heartbeat straight away and we calculated it to between 156 and 164 bpm!
I'd definitely recommend it. It's an Angelsounds Fetal Doppler, 3 mHz and cost £22 from amazon! That's made my day xxx

Had my 12 week today. Bub measured 2 days ahead and was very very active. Ultra classy too - we caught it picking it's nose!!! The sucking it's thumb. By the end of the scan it'd had enough poking and wouldn't keep still - jumping all over the place, kicking and worming. Very cute. Our risk was (they said) they lowest they've seen in a long time and they're optimistic. Unfortunately I've got an anterior placenta so I won't feel much for a while *sigh*
Here is my bean (which looks distinctively human now)

 

[Tweak0605]

Wilf - That's awesome you found the heartbeat! Amazing sound, I just can't get enough of listening to my LOs!

Emerald - AWESOME news!! What a cute picture of your LO!

Beth - I think your 2nd NT scan is today? Good luck, and I hope your LO cooperates!

 

[beth30]

Congrats everone with your good news, happy birthday, and wonderful pictures! I hope I got everyone in the sentence! LoL! Yes, my 2nd scan is today. I go for it a 3 but I have to leave my house at about 2:45 to get there in time... then I plan on stopping at IHOP (pancake restaurant) and getting a pile of pancakes and syrup with a side of sausage! I have been craving it, and bad for me or not I am eating all I can of it! LOL! I will update later this evening!

 

[Islander]

Hooray for great scans! So happy for your ladies!

My scan is on Friday and I can't wait! I've been cramping too and planning. I won't buy until I find out baby's gender, but hubby and I are going to buy carpet for the nursery the moment we find out.
