jkel - I'm so sorry you're having such a rough time. Totally sucks to not feel well all the time. I hope you're discharged though and are able to enjoy the birthday!

princess - welcome to the group! Sorry about your hemorrhaging before ... that's my worst fear with being pregnant and giving birth but I wish you all the luck with this delivery!

Kiwi - a shortening cervix is scary. I'm not sure I'm going to have that problem yet but I can tell you that at my 12.5 weeks u/s it was measuring (abdominally ... I know sometimes they do it transvaginally because it's more accurate) 45 and at my most recent appointment at 18.5 weeks it was measuring 37. It a pretty big change IMO but I'm trying to remain positive. I still have 19 weeks to go with twins. I just hope my cervix and yours can hold out until we're ready to give birth! Best of luck to you Great news though that your daughter is doing so well! Heart rate of 149 is amazing. Good job mama!

AFM - Everything is still looking good with my little boy and girl. We have names picked out, Oliver Allen and Lucy Johanna. I cannot wait to meet them. I felt them for sure for the first time at 19w2d. It's not consistent but definitely them. I can't wait until I can feel them consistently. I'll be 20 weeks on Sunday and as of last Sunday I was officially "half baked" since they will be coming out at 38 weeks. I can't believe at all that I'm more than halfway through ... it's really exciting and I'm just counting down the days until I can hold and kiss these little bundles of joy. Hubby and I have been setting up their nursery and it's coming a long nicely. We have all of the big stuff, now we're just searching for decorative things for the walls and hanging bookshelves (that will be hung NOT over their cribs, no worries). How are you guys coming along with preparing for your LOs arrivals?

 

[Kiwiberry]

Ash I love the names you have decided for your babies! Still no name picked out here really having a rough time with it.

 

[ashknowsbest]

Kiwi - thanks! The boy name was so easy. I had that name in my head for a long time and when I told DH he was like yes! Allen is his fathers first name who we lost just last October to stage 4 esophageal cancer. And the girls name ... it took us so long to agree. I wanted something that I considered timeless and hubby didn't like anything! Until I said lucy. I convinced him by saying we have so many nicknames for her, Lucy lou, Lulu, Lucy Jo ... he really loves it. And Johanna is my paternal grandmothers first name who passed away when I was very young but I used to spend a lot of time with her.

 

[Kiwiberry]

Allen was actually the name we were going to use if this baby was a boy for the middle name. Strange but it was for the same reasons as well, my husband lost his father about 12 years ago to cancer and his name is Allen.

I'm sorry for the loss. It's such a hard thing to see a parent pass from cancer.

Hi ladies, it's been a while, just popping by to say hi!

Kiwi - I'm having a boy so a blue stork for me please! I hope that your cervix holds out so that you won't need the treatment, but it's good that there are next steps and option to help you if that happens.

Jkel - hope that you are feeling better now that you are at home. It's tough being in hospital.

Ash - happy half way! Love the names you've picked!

As for me, I'm not sure when I last updated but I've been in and out of hospital too as I've have bleeding due to my placenta previa. I have also been diagnosed with vasa previa which is really dangerous so it is most likely that baby is going to come significantly early, we've talked about 32 weeks but I'm hoping to hold out for 34-5 weeks if possible. I don't know if I may be admitted until birth at some point. Feeling like a ticking time bomb and now just want baby here safely. X

mrsw - so sorry to hear you've been in the hospital. That is so scary! What is vasa previa if you don't mind me asking? I really hope you're able to keep LO in until 34-35 weeks but if not I wish you both the best! Medical advances have come a long way so either way I'm confident you and your LO will come out of this healthy and happy.

 

[USAFWife319]

Hi all! I'm due February 12 (from my predictions) I have two angels. One I miscarried and the other passed away at nearly 4 months old. Just found out we are pregnant again and I'm so excited! I'm scared but very excited and happy!

I believe I'll be high risk since I was with our son. I had a threatened miscarriage with him as well and almost lost him.

Welcome USAwife and congratulations on your pregnancy sorry to hear about your losses your among ladies that understand

I just want to rant I need the placenta to move at 20 weeks I barely feel any movements 😫 I am home been resting but today took the kids to s magic show in the park and got sun burnt I don't ever burn

 

[ashknowsbest]

jkel - I don't have an anterior placenta and I'm still not really feeling the babies

 

[Jkelmum]

Chose a name for my baby. Hopefully after the anonomly scan I will relax a bit ?
Chosen Phoebe Rose xx

 

[Jox]

That's a lovely name jkel!! When is ur scan? Xx

 

[Kiwiberry]

Lovely name Jkel! Still no name here.

 

[ashknowsbest]

jkel - love the name!

 

[Jkelmum]

My scan is Thursday not felt her move for weeks now. Guessing she's right behind the placenta .. Trying not to worry but don't have much expectation that this baby will be coming home. I hate feeling like this if I am still same after the scan I am going to see my gp maybe it's anti natel depression with having such a shit pregnancy so far .. I hate that I can't relax and enjoy but also that nobody in real life understands how I feel. I am hoping my scan will reassure me. Then my aim is 24 weeks then I've scans 4 weekly so hopefully then I will go scan to scan and get as far as I can. Regular Braxton Hicks already and loosing my plug worrys me.

 

[Jox]

Oh Hun, lots of love. Definitely go and see ur gp or speak to ur mw xx

I feel baby daily but feel the panic rising if she seems quieter than normal already. Pregnancy after a loss is such a difficult thing to get thru xx

 

[Jkelmum]

Thanks it's been weeks .. They listened daily when I was in hospital so I think she's fine but it's not the reassurance I need xx

 

[Jox]

I'm not sure there's anything that can give u 24 hr reassurance it's a case of getting to October in one piece xx

I really wish I had a Doppler. Whenever she takes a break from kicking and moving around I freak out and think something is wrong. It's no fun for us to worry like this ladies.
