Hi girls, oh Lou hope he's here I feel tired thinking about it! Lol! X

Had consultant today ladies, I have another scan booked for 29th of may so will be 32 weeks he just wants to check growth an then I will see him an as long as all is well I won't need to see him again! I have to take aspirin until 36 weeks an after delivery I have to use clexane for 7 days due to my legs! I never used clexane! Scary!
He also told me heart hopeful that if I have my scan an reveal a short cervix or risk of early labour is given then I should start taking using my progesterone again immediately if no concern then it is fine! X

My hubby's twin sis is pg she's 12 weeks how exciting my baby will have a cousin 2 months later! Woohoo! X

Sara- Congrats on your I hope betas go great and you are here for quite a while!

Heart- So glad your baby girl is doing great, I hope you next ultrasound shows your cervix is fine. Just when you think your worries are over...

Lou- Come on, Baby! Its time, lets go! I hope your labor is easy and quick from this point forward.

Pip & Croy- Thanks for the encouragement. Hubby said he's just very excited and couldn't hold it in anymore. He apologized for not talking to me first, and felt bad when I told him that he had inadvertently told my family without me. He just wasn't thinking. I haven't put anything on my facebook yet, I think I may post my ultrasound pic from this coming Thursday (assuming all is well), but really he stole my thunder. Also, this sounds horribly selfish, but I guess being pregnant makes me that way, one of my FB "friends" is a young girl in her early twenties who I used to be very close with when we went to the same church in California. Since then she fell away from the Lord and started living an immoral lifestyle. She moved away from her family for years, lived like he*l, moved in with a guy, got pregnant and is now moving back near her family and far away from the baby's father. Why do I care? She just announced her pregnancy on FB, yesterday. AND she's due 3 days after me. So now I feel doubly like my thunder has been stolen. I also feel terrible for her baby's daddy who won't get to see his child, and the child who won't have a father because her mother decided to move. I guess I'm just all around angry today.

Sorry guys I've not posted much tidy I'm knackered but can't sleep but been on a mission I've manged to get a wash machine cooker and a fridge freezer for my flat so all I need to find is a cheap second hand sofa and we are good too go I don't get the keys today as there is some snags in the flat left too do and I have too decorate which will be taken at a steady pace ps our bedroom guess what color it is pink now is that a sign or what lol xxx

Lol, Sara, you're on pretty much the same as I was at the beginning of the pregnancy. Although my steroid dose was 25mg (prednisolone). Do you know why you are on a low dose? Is it something to do with your Hashimoto's? Or do you need to take a thyroid med for that?

Mom, it really is gutting but what is most important is that your baby is growing nicely and healthily. Who cares if this other lady gives birth around the same time?!
Also, please try not to worry about her drama. Who knows what compelled her to live the life she leads and leave the baby daddy. Sadly, not everyone's life works out. Maybe he was abusive and she is protecting her unborn baby and trying to make a new start with her family?
In any case, as she doesn't seem to be a close friend if yours I don't think she deserves your worry. Deep breath, you're pregnant and doing really well

Davies, the news about your SIL is so exciting! You're really going to be able to share some great experiences

Jen, fab news on getting everything sorted for your new place
I have a sofa to sell for cheap but I'm afraid I am too far away for you. I'm sure you will find something suitable very quickly Xxx

PS: Davies, the clexane sounds worse than it is, hun. You'll be fine! Since it is only seven days if you really feel like you can't do it yourself you could ask for a community nurse to come and give you the injection every day. I had that when I was initially diagnosed with my clots as I was so distraught they could tell I was going to be useless. Plus they'd started my first injection at midnight so it was a really awkward time to get anyone else to help. The nurses who came were adorable

 

[jenny25]

Where abouts are you darling as I do have a van?

Davies I'm in clexaine I've been on it since 8dpo and this is the 2nd pregnancy I've used it if you have any questions hen feel free too ask xxx

Thanks. I needed that reality check! I think I'll feel better after Thursday's ultrasound.

Now for another selfish moment from me. My close friend is pregnant, due August 6th. I'm so happy for her as she's had a TON of early miscarriages and really wanted another child. Everything is going great for her and I'm so happy our children will be close in age. Now here's the selfish part. Today she went for her gender scan and found out she's having another boy! This makes 3 boys for her. I know she was wanting a girl, but I'm secretly happy its another boy as I'd be devastated if she had a little girl and I had boy #6! Isn't that awful?! But now I feel like if I have another boy at least he'll have a good friend close in age. Good thing she can't read my thoughts or she'd think I'm an awful friend.

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

Speaking of little boys... I hope Lou's son has arrived safe and sound! Somebody hand that girl a laptop!

 

[petitpas]

Lol, Mom, I think I'd be thinking the same as you if I were in your situation. As much as I am looking forward to having ducky as a boy I would also love a little girl someday. Although I'd maybe not go to quite such the extremes as you are If this one turns out to be another boy, will you try again? Or are you planning more babies anyway?

Here in the UK we had a tv programme about gender disappointment on a while ago. It followed a few women who were desperate to have a different gender with their next child. One of them had 9 shock boys and was trying to fall pregnant again. She saw her GP and asked his honest opinion about what her chances were. He said that normally it is 50/50 with each new pregnancy but in her case he was pretty sure she would have another boy

Can you imagine if she ever got that girl? One princess in a football team of boys
I don't know whether she ever did, tbh.

 

[daviess3]

Oh I no Lou were hoping he's here an ur trying to get some rest! But pls we need pic! X

Mum2 I can understand your feelings we all have to vent sumtimes! X

Pip Jen thank u in bit worried about clexane will have to get my hubby to inject it for me! As long as I am not having them in my arm or hand I should b ok! R these the ones in your stomach? What side effects will I have? X

Chill out at home day today yay!! X

I was supposed to be making a nappy cake with my friend for a friends baby shower Sunday but I can't b bothered! I'm just going to buy one I have seen so many nice ones that hold quite a lot! So that'll do by time I honour an buy everything it won't b worth it! X

 

[daviess3]

**honour!! I meant go out!!
Morning pip I saw that programme to you had to feel for them! X

 

[petitpas]

Davies, I totally felt for those ladies, too...

The side effects of the clexane are (in my opinion) minimal. They don't make you feel different in any way. No different emotions, no headaches, no nausea, not anything like that. The only thing is that you can get a bruise at the injection site. Also, if you cut yourself or have a bleed anywhere you would bleed just a tad longer. You'll be on a pretty low dose, though, so I think you would hardly notice it.
You may have the injections in your thigh if your belly is sore from giving birth.
Most days mine are painless. The thing to remember (or shout at DH while he is doing it with a shakey hand ) is to inject the liquid as slowly as possible. It has a nasty aftersting if it goes in too fast. If you take your time, however (30 seconds or more), you won't feel a thing

 

[daviess3]

Thanks hun x

 

[jenny25]

I second what pip says Hun there like second nature now too me no side effects at all hun you will be fine hun xxx


So just back from the midwife and my screening results are as follows


Trisomy 21 1:2363 and trisomy 13/18 1:156523

Very happy with those results also booked in for gtt and anti d injection everything came back great on the full blood count too so I'm chuffed x
