September Snugglers 2016

[mari35racz36]

Lovely bump pic ladies!!! I will try to post one soon Good luck to everyone with their appt today.

Mummy - glad all is well with the baby So happy for you!!

unicorn - I had a day or so around 10 weeks where the nausea was completely gone. It worried me too. But it all came back full force the next day! lol It is so normal for us to worry all the time. the closer we get to 12 weeks alot of women start to slowly feel better.

I also have a prenatal appt at 2pm today. They will use the doppler to find the heartbeat today. Yesterday was such a bad day, I felt extremely sick. I took a 2hr nap just so the sick feeling would go away for a bit. Today seems a bit better.

 

[mrs unicorn]

thanks ladies that does reassure me, think I'm just having one of those freak out days! It's our first wedding anniversary this weekend so we have some lovely things planned, just need to think about that. I was looking at our wedding photos and bawled all the way through them! Out of happiness of course!

 

[InVivoVeritas]

Mummy, so glad that the little one is doing well. Hope that's the end of the bleeding!

mari, glad today is better. I seem to swing from days when I feel almost human to days when I just want to climb back into bed and try again next morning.

Mrs Unicorn, happy anniversary for this weekend. I hope you continue to feel better so you can enjoy all those lovely things you have planned.

Me, I got my flu jab this morning. A bit late in the season, but doctor wasn't taking no for an answer.

 

[mari35racz36]

Any of you ladies starting think you may be feeling the baby move?? I have been getting little flutters this past week. With my first baby I didn't feel anything until about 17 weeks. With my 2nd baby I felt movement around 14weeks. And with my 3rd I felt movement around 11 weeks. They say with each pregnancy you usually feel the baby move earlier.

InVivo- My doc wants me to get the flu shot too. The flu has hit late in the season here because we have had such a mild winter. Usually the flu peaks Dec/Jan, but it is going around crazy here now.

mari, I've had moments when I've thought "did I just Ferrell what I think I felt?" but couldn't be sure. With Sophie, I first felt something at around 14/15 weeks, it felt like tiny vibrations.. then I didn't feel anything for ages afterwards.

 

[xanzaba]

I feel something at times. It's like someone flicking me from the inside. Like a tiny muscle twitch.

 

[xxxLeoxxx]

The last couple of nights when I've been laid in bed I've been sure I've felt movement but then thought no it must be too soon! I felt movement at 20 weeks with DS1 and 15 weeks with DS2. Got my 12 week scan first thing tomorrow, feels like it's been coming forever! X

 

[ssarahh]

So have any of you ladies got names picked?

Me and DH keep chatting about names but can only agree on boys names x

 

[MummaMoo]

Names? We've not agreed and settled on anything yet. We find it really hard to find a boys name that we both like. I like Daniel, MrMoo doesn't. For girls, we have a few front runners, Ella, Bethan, Emily, Olivia, Emma, Anna... and lately I'm really liking Lucy too. MrMoos family are Welsh/Italian and I'd like the name to show that, which is why I like Bethan. I suggested Megan but that's a no. His gran was called Nella, but that's a no too. Although, really, I should get to name this baby, as he came up with Sophie Elizabeth.

 

[campn]

I've been feeling tiny movements on and off since 8 weeks but I've no idea if that's the baby or just uterus spasms! I've to lie very still on my back to feel them.

We've first names picked, but to be frank I've had them picked for a very long time especially the girl name since I've always wanted a daughter! Middle names are where we get lost.

 

[xanzaba]

I know last pregnancy I knew it was a girl, but I didn't remember that the first pregnancy I had predicted boy. DH just reminded me and said that since I'm convinced this is a boy, we shouldn't bother picking out girl names.

We've had a boy's name picked out for a while- Liam. DH was born in the north of France, where there is Celtic ancestry, 1/4 of my family is Irish, and we both really love Irish names. I didn't realize until after we picked it that it has the same roots as my father's name- William. It sounds weird, but I'd be disappointed if it's not a boy, because I want to name the baby Liam and buy a soft blue teddy bear. But not in a "wouldn't it be nice" kind of way, in a "this needs to happen" sort of way. And that's not typical of me in general.

 

[mari35racz36]

mummamoo - with my last pregnancy I felt some movement early on too and then nothing for a while. I ask myself the same question, is that the baby I just felt?! lol


AFM - My prenatal appt went well. Doctor decided not to listen for HB today as under 12 weeks can be a hit or a miss. My due date has changed.....I am now due Sept 7. Just1more, could you update that on the front page? My original due date was Sept 6th, so one day more is ok. lol
No names picked out yet. We have talked about it once or twice but hubby and I cannot agree. lol

 

[hopie2015]

Mari- great you feel better today and had a good appt! My due date got moved to Sept. 7th as well.

MMax- I hope dr. was able to help you with a new med for the ms today?

Exciting some of you are feeling movement! Nothing here noticed and no bump. Though i just ate 4 slices of pizza! So think the belly is just from food. Trying to stay positive for 12 wk scan later in week, but mostly find myself preparing for the worst.

Have a girl name picked -- Alexandra or Alexa. No boy name, but I really think it's a girl.

 

[amantila]

My appointment today went well...no pictures today since they just listened for heartbeat with Doppler. They weren't sure if they would be able to hear it, but baby cooperated and the doctor found it right away! Heart rate was 160. Had to get blood drawn for zika testing too since I was in the Dominican Republic in 3rd week of pregnancy and cdc changed the guidelines so anyone who has traveled to one of the countries on the list has to be tested whether or not they have any symptoms. The doctor said it will probably take awhile to get those results back (up to two weeks), so hopefully everything looks good! I have the genetic testing on March 2nd, so I'll get to see baby then!

Has anyone done the genetic testing before? What should I expect?

As for names, we are set on middle names. If it is a boy, it will be a family name from his side: Allen and if it is a girl, we will use a family name from my side: Marie. First names we are less sure about. We think boy will be Lincoln Allen and girl with be Avery or Emery Marie possibly. We are still thinking about the girls names!

 

[MummaMoo]

I'm wondering if your genetic testing is the same as the NT testing Amantilia? With things being quite different between UK and USA I'm not sure, so can't really give an answer. How fab that you got to hear baby though!! Omg I can't wait for that!

Love the nam Avery - I only know one person with that name.

I have a friend called Verity, and I love that name too also other names I like that MrMoo wouldn't like:- Elodie, Martha, Matilda (Tilly for short) Elsie...

 

[mrs unicorn]

That was the first thing DH did when I showed him the 2 lines - started making a list of names!! We have a short list for both, we struggle more with boys names. The top two so far are Isla and Zack. Although the I think DH prefers Isabelle (Izzy) for a girl. They may change though. And middle names we haven't really thought of. DH suggested we could use our second favourite name!

It's funny you are talking about movements. As this is my first and I'm 10 weeks (ish) it surely can't be bambino moving but I woke in the night really needing to pee as usual but as I slowly woke I was lay in my back and felt like wave/ripple thing 3 times. I thought to myself I must remember that feeling and when I do know it's the bambino I can compare! It could be just gas as they say but it did feel weird, but then there's a lot of weird stuff going on down there!!

 

[xanzaba]

Wow. I just woke up from a sex dream like no other I've ever had! In it I picked up a stranger and had sex in a dressing room. Woke up feeling guilty and came out to the sofa, as I felt too guilty to stay in bed next to DH.

 

[mrs unicorn]

oh xan bless you!! I used to have reoccurring dreams about my DH cheating on me. I used to wake up in a right mood with him!!

 

[xxxLeoxxx]

Had my 12 week scan today, everything went great. Except they're saying my EDD is 31st August which I know is wrong because we could only DTD one time in the month we conceived! I'm going to stay in September if that's ok

 

[xanzaba]

Leo- Great scan! Also, I'm with you- not giving up Snuggler status for a couple of mm
