lol meggles, you'll learn soon enough
bottom left is the head, then the body (can't miss the spine)
bum is in the upper right corner, as are the legs.

to check for gender he changes the angle, the legs form a backwards 'C' shape

haha but if you don't see it, you don't see it, before seeing mine life i wasn't very good at scans either

I'm an auntie! My brother and his wife had a beautiful baby boy (surprise!) early yesterday morning!
He's 7.13 of wonderful: gorgeous and healthy and holding him for the first time was indescribably delightful. The joy of welcoming this little one into the world has done wonders to diffuse my sadness over this also being the 1st anniversary of our loss. There's a comforting balance in there somewhere. We're about to hit week 22 on Tuesday, and the electric kicks from the little girl within gives me giddy smiles every time. Stronger and stronger. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and hearts to all the rainbow bumps out there. Time is flying... x ~ Ru

Hi Rainbowpea,

Doc said stomach & Fatty was fine, checked for urine infection but no signs, although I did have white cells in my urine, but doc said it was nothing to worry about.

I seem now to keep getting thrush... grrrrr, and a hell of alot of discharge, I don't remember getting this last time I was pregnant, at least not as much as I'm getting this time... I'm got midwife on friday (1st time I've seen them since my 16 week appointment), so I'm really looking forward to that.

How are you & Bump doing..??

[Chimpette]

Bad news today, just been informed I'm being made redundant from the middle of next year...

They said that they are going to try and find me another job, as they don't want to lose me, but not to get my hopes up......

Just when I get one thing I want, I lose something else..... grrrrrrrr

xx

 

[fluffyblue]

Hiya Chimp we just going through a massive restructure too, im lucky that i wont be made redundant just our roles are splitting into roles that I dont want but im gonna have to accept to keep my job !! Luckily when junior born im gonna have about 6 weeks to look for summat else before I go back.

Somethings happen for a reason - if somebody else says that to me again im gonna hit em !!

 

[mislaww]

Susan....fingers crossed things work out in the end. Glad Fatty is okay!

Mommytobe2011 - sounds like maybe a mistake? Fingers crossed. But if your OH has just one, I suspect yours will be okay? You really only need one kidney....

AFM...I had another ultrasound today (that's FIVE!) because i'm measuring large. Baby's normal - 50th percentile - so have to wait to figure out what else it might be - obgyn appointment is next Wednesday. Fingers crossed.

Wooohooo great news.

I am sure I have missed tons and not sure if anyone posted for me that I was back in the hospital again

I was admitted on Thursday night with the bleeding that I have had before. on Friday night I started getting tummy pains and thought it was IBS to start with. It became obvious it wasn't though so Iwas up all night on Saturday with contractions every 10 minutes.

The consultant (not mine but a lovely one on call) came to see me on Saturday morning and said obviously they wouldn't let me home as they couldn't risk me delivering at home. I had my steroids on Friday so they should have done some good for her lungs if she does come.

Because of the bleeding if anything happens they won't stop it because it could be dangerous. They gave me pethadine though as I had been up all night and also because it's a muscle relaxant so hopefully stops the contractions.

It did work but once it wore off the contractions came back and Saturday night they were every 5 minutes . The midwife over night wasn't nice and wouldnt' call the dr and wouldn't give me any more pethadine as apparently it wasn't written up.

The consultant saw me again in the morning and wrote up more pethadine for whenever the contractions started.

I had some more Sunday and yesterday but they have died back to every 20-30 minutes and are pretty mild now so hopefully it won't be anything to worry about.

I had my scan this morning and baby looks good. She is 2lb 7oz now so a fairly decent size for 27+4.

They are thinking it might be a bit before 35 weeks now but we'll have to see. I have another scan and see the consultant in two weeks.

 

[braijackava]

Good luck with everything Vickie, I will ne thinking about you.

 

[mommy2be2011x]

Had my scan Yesterday at around noon, thankfully this time I only had to drink a 16 oz drink instead of 32-48 so my bladder wasn't bursting full! right away I was sent to the scanning room as soon as I got there and that's where it all began, she started scanning and didn't say a word to me said she had to do measurements, check for chromosomal abnormalities, blood flow, the kidneys and had to check and see why on the letter my doc sent it said to check his stomach as it appeared rarely large on the previous scan ( which is a down symptom) so for a long 30 minutes she didn't say a word to us I started to panic, I had teary eyes and all of a sudden I asked what's wrong? does He only have 1 kidney? she answered: "yeah, that's my suspicion" and it was back to silence Then she was finally done and looked at us and said I will be right back I have to call the pediatrician omg! right then and there I felt like everything went down hill and started to think the worse.
Finally after he rescanned me he took his gloves off both him and the nurse where holding my babies pictures and then said, "well do you know why you are here" and I said yes the kidneys and apparently something about his stomach and he said "yes, well It appears he does only have one kidney but it is perfectly fine and functioning, we looked long and hard for any problems or abnormalities and couldn't find anything wrong with him" OMG PHEWWW I finally felt like I could breathe when he said that! so I said well is he ok, is he gonna live and doc said "yeah, he is more than ok he is a healthy little boy , everything seems right, and having one kidney is rare like being left handed but doesn't mean anything bad,it just makes him unique! so your baby is fine, also nothing is wrong with his belly" OMG I WAS SOOOO HAPPY Finally some answers and they were great news!!!! after all this time that I had been freaking Out over Kaden's Life turns out he is Just fine ooh They also said he has beautiful bone structure and will be a very cute handsome baby , I am so pleased, OH and I have been so worried all week . HE HAS NOTHING WRONG < NO DOWNS > NO ABNORMALITIES< nothing wrong!
Can't wait till our son is finally here!!!
