Hopie- so sorry HG came back. Are you going to go back to the hospital? At least you had a little break and got to eat a few English Muffins.
 
The excitement of birth is far more outweighing the reservations about a tear. I think even if I DO have to go to the hospital with the consultants, I'll just ask to transfer to the mlu as soon as I can.
 
Ugh am so bloated and huge today, reckon I was about 5 months gone before I looked this big last time. Hideous!!:cry::cry::cry::nope:
 
Hey ladies, sorry I haven't posted in a few days. It's been so busy here. Today is a holiday which is nice:)

None of my doctors have ever told me how much weight to gain. When I was pregnant with DD I gained 50lbs!! Lol With DS1 I gained about 45lbs. And with DS2 I gained 35lbs. If could only gain about 30 with this baby that would be nice. But I doubt that will happen! Lol

As for baby sizes, I've had a few big ones! My DD was 9lb 11oz! She had to be pulled out with forceps. My DS1 was 9lb 7oz, but I was able to push him out just fine. And my DS2 was 7lb 6oz and only 2 pushes:) I am hoping this baby will be on the smaller side this time. My labour with DD was rough.

My first scan is tomorrow at 1130!! Yay!! I am excited but have I go in with a full bladder. I don't know how I am going to hold it in. Lol

I hear you! I was so bloated taster say it was unbelievable. Hubby and I went out for a Valentine's dinner and movie I and felt like crap. I think I show earlier with each baby. Right now is such an akward stage.
 
My sister was ~9 lbs and she was 3 weeks early. I was almost a month late (fortunately they don't let that happen anymore!) and I was 11 1/4 pounds. If we had both been term babies, we would have been about 10 to 10 1/2 pounds. I think it's because my dad's side of the family are giants- my shortest cousin is 6'4, the tallest 6'8. Fortunately, DH's family is giant-less, so here's hoping I won't have to deal with one like me or my sister.

wow xanzaba! You were big!

I'm scared about baby size...husband was 10 lb 2 oz and I was 9 lb 8 oz! I also heard that size doesn't really make a difference in terms of pain...they are going to hurt coming out no matter what! Trying not to think about birth too much...I'm a squeamish person so I'm in denial until the moment happens and then I will handle it when I have to!

Glad to have the day off today :] Grandparents are around for one more day so I will be meeting them for lunch I think before they head home. It's been nice seeing them. My grandma was so excited to take me shopping for my birthday (which isn't until end of February). She said the last time she got to take me shopping was when I was about to study abroad in college, so she was super excited to help me find some maternity clothes. I got some new stretchy jeans and work trousers, and most importantly...new bras! YAY! My boobies are now contained :) hahaha.
 
I'm really hoping the trend doesn't continue on babies size. Both mine were 2 weeks late ds1 8lbs 6oz ds2 9lbs 4oz I will be looking at 10lb + if it does 😮
 
Thank you Uni! Yes, never, ever having coconut water again!

Thanks Xanza. I think it's great you told your friend.. I thought maybe you would! :) Wow- you were a big baby! OH's family is giant-less.. LOL

You all have got me thinking of baby size now.. OH is 6'6 and was a huge late baby. Oh my. I can't think about all that yet!

I guess for now I am still trying to survive first tri! When will it end?!?!

Glad everyone had good weekends. Mari - great you got out for dinner.. excited for you for tomorrow. Best of luck!
 
Morning ladies, how are we all? Good luck to everyone having their scans today, cannot wait to see some pictures!! X
 
Hopie are you managing to work? Im on my second week of sick abscence and terrified of going back next week. The drugs are helping a bit but still feel awful 75% of the time. So fed up.

Good luck with the scans this week everyone.
 
Good luck for your scan today Mari!

I have the opposite worry about babies size- mine tend to have growth issues and are on the smaller side.

My babies weights so far have been

7.4
6.4
6.4
7.0
6.11
6.2

Never going to have a 10lb baby that's for sure lol

Hope everyone is well, my sickness seems to be back with a vengeance today- not great as its half term here too.

It's my booking in appt tomorrow, hoping it makes things feel more 'real' - ive felt quite detatched from the pregnancy and baby since we lost one twin, I know it's probably the fear of losing this one, but I do want to bond with the baby, it's just hard. Xx

Thats understandable Lara. Hopefully you will feel different as tine passes. My terrible sickness is making it hard to bond too.

I have my booking appointment tomorrow too. Probably feel more real then. Good luck with yours.
 
Good luck for the booking in- did you have to fill your own notes on mrsmax? I just find it odd how it's done differently in different places. She said the appt will be an hour long, seems a bit lengthy when ive already filled the notes in lol.
 
I have my appointment at 9, so just a few hours now. Comes just in time- we had a meeting yesterday and I was afraid they were going to ask us directly about teaching in the Fall. If the NT scan comes back okay, I'll probably let them know I want to take maternity leave today, even if I don't have the complete results.
 
Lots of luck for today's scans! Mines tomorrow! Eeeeeeeek!!

With my booking in appointment last week, I had to film in personal details, and previous birth history, but still had the lengthy process of going through family history, occupation, details of other half etc.

There was no space to fit my previous births on - I had to leave poor Wills and Alice off! Apparently, people only have 4 children 😂
She did say she would get an extra sheet put in tomorrow, lol.
 
Ive not been given anything to fill out yet. Guess it will all be done tomorrow.
 
Yay for scans! My 12 week is on Friday.

Good luck for all having booking in appointments too. The lengthiest part was running over family history etc.

Has anyone had a successful VBAC? Or a term baby after a premature baby? Moo was born at 34+4 via c-section for reduced movements and foetal distress. I have the option of having a planned section or I can try for a VBAC, but I have not yet decided. I'd like to try a vaginal birth but I am scared it'll end up in a section anyway. I'm not sure where this fear comes from as that's not what happened with Moo, a vaginal delivery was never an option, so I hope my fear surrounding this eases soon. While her NICU care was second to none, I hope I can make it to term this time.
 
Snow day today again! Yahoo! The only negative thing is that I really want lucky charms cereal for breakfast but it's too snowy to run to the store to get some. Probably for the best...I know they aren't good for you.
