PAL Winter Babies 2010/11 - ** Waiting impatiently for our remaining babies! **

[Tulip]

AFM I left work at 5.30 and have got NOWHERE. Poxy London Underground! We're now on a boat on the Thames and baby is WELL confused, he keeps giving me the occasional stroppy kick. I don't know if it's seasickness or hunger

 

[hb1]

That's pants Fluffy!! - like Tulip says - can they look at other markers?

Lovely pic Due lovely bump too

Congrats Agi bet you're over the moon!!

Tulip - so he isn't going to be in the navy or work on a cruise ship - must be a nice change to the tube tho - I hate the tube in summer!!

I am Sh!tt!ng myself over my scan on Thursday - really hoping all is well!!

That's poop Nic. My friend works on the Thames Clippers and he said it was madness today. Hope you get home soon and munch improves his mood!

Love the pic due, one for the family album indeed!

Hope it went well today Agi.

That is crap Fluffy. Have you shopped around for private prices, I know for the private early scans prices really varied. The postcode lottery sucks.

I share your pain h! I feel sick about my scan tomorrow and this time it's not morning sickness! I told a colleague today because I'll be leaving work early, then got myself in a state that doing so had jinxed it. Let's be positive h, all the signs say our beans are ok . I'm dreading the bloodtest as much as anything, veinless freak that I am!

Yeah Lou it was bedlam on the clipper, they all looked knackered bless them. All those affected by the trackside fire must have come into Stratford and picked up the boats this morning.

H and Lou I know that feeling so well from my 8 week scan - I've never felt so ill in my life. All I can say is that I'm feeling confident for you both and am so excited to be sharing this journey with you xxx

 

[MadamRose]

thanks everyone, looking forward 2 the 3rd tri mow. I really wanna get there
Sorry to hear your having a bad day fluffy, as others say do umyou get a 12week scan? where I am I missed out on nuchal scan because I was just past the date range when it was brought in, I didn't even have blood tests at 16 weeks as me and OH decided against it. Hope things get resolved soon

 

[TripleB]

H and Lou I know that feeling so well from my 8 week scan - I've never felt so I'll in my life. All I can say is that I'm feeling confident for you both and am so excited to be sharing this journey with you xxx

Thanks Nic, you're a sweetheart xxx

 

[Tulip]

Oh - and yeah I love the clipper. K used to live near the river so we could take the boat to work regularly. So relaxing - you don't get a seat or a bar on the Jubilee Line

 

[fluffyblue]

hi thanks for your replies, I feel slightly better today although my Angel Sounds doppler broke and the other is useless !

I have a scan tomorrow with my consultant so am gonna talk to her in detail, had a good chat with Noel and it was like talking to the cat, he just dont get it !

Anyway think im gonna have the bloods and amnio - I just cant afford the private scan at the min with going away and by the time we get paid I will be over the nuchal scan limit.

I think my consultant will have a good look anyway as she is the expert in this field (well meant to be ) so i shall just voice my concerns anyway.

 

[MadamRose]

Aww hunni i know what you mean about men. whenever im worried all my OH says is it will be fine, or don'y worry. Im like that really doesnt help one bit. im sure you will get the blood work done and then there will be no need for an amnio, or do you get both done over there no matter what?
And yes talk to your consultant that will hopefully help you maybe more use than talking to your OH

[TripleB]

Hey ladies, back from the scan and everything was great! Little one is measuring 3 days ahead of my dates (have changed my ticker) and was moving around and kicking its legs - so so cute! The sonographer was great and confirmed the heartbeat within seconds so I was put at ease. Nuchal measurement was 1.5 so happy with that and will get bloods back within a week. I can't believe it, I really can't! Thanks for giving me the encouragement to think positively - it's all looking good! xxx

Here's my baby:

 

[Tulip]

Yay Lou, so happy for you! Will do a big EDD update at the weekend as I need to change Katy's too. Well done sweetie! xxx

Agi, glad you're ok hon, rest up please x

 

[SEA34]

TripleB glad your scan went well x

 

[hb1]

TripleB ( Lou!! ) so so so so glad your scan went so brilliantly!! what a relief!! and the nuchal measurement - fab!!!! hope you enjoy skipping around on cloud 9

Agi take care and hope you have a load of books and dvd's stacked up

Due - 3rd tri - how exciting

I think for a lot of us the scan was the point we found out about our mc's so I know it's totally natural to worry but I hate stressing like this!! Thanks Tulip for the PMA

[Tulip]

The next 2 days will be the slowest of your life, H. But they'll be done soon and you'll also be on x

 

[TripleB]

Thanks ladies. Not so much skipping h - never been so tired in my life! I think its the release of pent-up tension. We got a chinese because I couldn't be arsed to cook and baby did not like! I though I had escaped not actually being sick - oh well!

I'm sending you lots of positive thoughts h, I've got a good feeling you and little-h are going to be ok! It will be amazing.

I've developed a new symptom - itchy nipples - agony!

Quick question - the sonographer wrote on my notes to book 20-week scan on 28 August. Daft mare at reception booked me in for 9th September when I'll be almost 22 weeks. Should I try and change it or does it make no difference? (Nic - I notice your next scan is 22wks...)

[Tulip]

We all call it a 20-week scan - but in my experience most trusts actually do it at around 22w. I suppose baby is that much bigger it makes everything a little clearer. Look at it as spreading it out a bit - there's such a massive gap between that scan and actually meeting bubs!

 

[TripleB]

Good point Nic - I shall take that advice you wise lady! xxx

 

[hb1]

TripleB - did you get a pic?

Thanks Tulip - don't know what I would do without everyone on here!!

[Tulip]

Good point Nic - I shall take that advice you wise lady! xxx

You brave soul! Actually in my trust it's even called "The 20-22 week scan" so yeah, perfectly normal.

I've booked a 4D for 28 weeks and am still wondering how the hell i'm going to manage the 28-40 week gap without seeing him!
