October Rainbow Babies!!!

[beth30]

I just read my post back, and I said the wrong time to leave!!! I have to leave an hour before time for the appt!! LoL! anyway, I made it there, they got the info they needed, and I came away with a 40 minute video of my little baby! Streatching, jumping, sucking thumb, rubbing head, toe touches! wonderful! I go back May 23rd for the big scan. BUT- the tech said she couldn't see anything sticking out... it wasn't in stone, but so far no boy parts..LOL!! she said to wait until my next scan and she'd tell me for sure, well, as sure as she could.

thanks!she actually gave us 5 different pics (for free!) it was just magic... i know millions of people have had/seen a 12 week scan but it was like the most amazing thing to ever happen in the history of the world!i was so full of love, awe and happiness!my DH was AMAZED when he saw it kicking and jumping and couldn't understand how I couldn't feel it lol it was just magic. She was scanning away for a few mins taking measurements etc and I said...so, is it alive?is it ok?and she looked at me like i was bonkers and laughed and said of course!and thats when the tears came Im just totally thrilled and over the moon we also did the facebook thing and the love we have got back is beautiful i just feel so happy and free and glad I can finally relax and tell people sorry its so long but...AAAAAHHHHH!!!!! yay

Great news Islander! I am surprised your tech didn't show you the heart beat right away. That is always the first thing our tech shows us, which is huge relief!

 

[beth30]

Congrats Em!! Great scan pic Islander! I need to post mine, I just haven't got around to it yet.... I think I may see if I can post the video to youtube and send the link.

Beth - So glad your scan went well!! How cute of your LO! I loved watching mine have the hiccups!! And I'm so jealous of your video AND possible gender guess!!

Emerald - That's awesome you got a gender guess!! How exciting that we're almost now at the point of finding out what our LOs are!

Islander - Love the photo!! I think my DH and I were both in amazement at our 12wk scan. It was so amazing to see him/her moving around and hiccuping, after all we've been through! Like Twinkie, I'm surprised she didn't tell you right away. My tech always takes a look at the HB and lets us know; definitely gives me relief.

 

[Islander]

i think she probably did...she was just getting everything set up so she could see properly...just felt like ages to me lol cause the heartbeat was the 1st thing she showed us really

aww congrats islander, i felt exactly the same when i had my scan, my baby was jumping up and down and moving it's arms and legs, it was amazing to see and i cried when i saw it's little heartbeat! we also got given loads of extra scan pics for free as she couldnt get a good picture the first time around, my scan is below.

did they give you any idea what you are having? i forgot to ask and ive been looking at nub and skull theories, all say its a boy but im not sure?!

 

[Islander]

they dont tell u up here, but i reckon its a boy

Any of you having a bit of trouble sleeping at night? I am having a hard time staying asleep, and I go from side to side, tossing and turning. I know I need a body pillow, and I also know I need a bigger bed. DH and I barely get comfy when I don't have a growing belly... we have been wanting a bigger one for a while. I think I may start looking.

Hi Beth, I am nearly 15 weeks and already have a bump, and I find it terrible trying to sleep, constantly tossing and turning. Try putting a normal pillow under your bump as I found that the pressure of my bump was eased, or invest in a body pillow to take the pressure of your knees etc.

Hope this helps x
