*~*~*September Sweetpeas 2013 - 120 preggos - 21 Babies Born So Far*~*~*

[Phantom710]

V-Day yesterday for the Twins So exciting, and not long until 3rd Tri now.

I only have 6 more weeks left of work as the doc doesn't want me working past 30, so I feel like I'm going to be going insane.

Phantom- Happy (double belated) V-Day!!!

 

[Proserpina]

Proserpina thanks for the updates, i went through and found loads myself but didn't see them.

No problem, mummytochloe. Most of the updates I'm posting were never posted on this thread. I found out about them by checking the person's posting history here at BnB.

Here's some more:

28 weeks today!!

My partner said if I really want a 4D scan he would pay for it, but I think its a bit expensive and we didnt want to find out the sex so may as well keep it another suprise, something to work for when in labour lol

Anyone else feeling down about stretch marks??? How can I lighten them, feel self conscious.

Hiya nico82, I don't know if they do it in your country or not but I swear by bio oil! Iv been using it on my bump and my stretch marks are really light and some are even fading

 

[AnakeRose]

Well today (who am I kidding, the last week) has been pretty shitty. All I want to do is cry and I'm so moody. My poor husband has been taking the brunt of it too. I feel like I'm going through PMS x 1000! Is this normal?

 

[vic161209]

so I got some happy news last night, my friend who was pregnant (a week after me) but lost her baby within days of her bfp, is today 7weeks pregnant! so happy for her. its been hard as the loss hit her really badly n iv been worried about how to support her when im preg within a week of what she would have been. only downside is I hope our naming debate doesn't come up again now shes preg! (we both with out knowing chose the same girls name)

 

[babydevil1989]

Oh good...I thought I was going crazy...I've had depression problems in the past so I was hoping it wasn't coming back with a vengence. I'm already getting people to watch me after baby is born.

I will have to try it, I have heard so many myths about it, some say yes and some say no...so guess only way to know for sure is to try it for myself. Not used to having no control of my body image.

On other news - my baby is breech, I know still time to turn around, but explains why my ribs hurt when lying down and when taking a deep breath.

Nico - how do you know the position of baby? I've been wondering what mine's been up to. I can feel she moved positions but can't decipher what position she's in.

I had my 28 week midwife appointment and she measured me and felt what position the baby was in, the head by my ribs, spine down the left side and butt and feet down low.

I see my midwife every two weeks now and when I reach 36 weeks I see her every week until delivery.

If baby doesnt spin around then have to see a specialist and if still doesnt turn around when he trys to turn it than have to have a c-section which I didnt really want as recovery is much longer. But guess if its the safest way then I dont have a choice.

 

[Guppy051708]

hope she turns hon. Its really stress inducing for us mamas having to worry about such. If it helps ease your fears any, my first baby didn't flip from breech to head down until 33 weeks.


Im currently dealing with a transverse (sideways) LO. (shes been like this the entire pregnancy). Saw the MW today. She said the baby needs to at least go vertical by 32 weeks. Breech is allowed to flip later, but she said with transverse they really need to go head down or breech by 32 weeks. She said breech can flip head down much easier than transverse can...not really sure why, but thats what ive been told, so hopefully this stinker decides to move!..idunno...not so certain this little girl is gonna cooperate...i dont know why but for some reason if i have to have a CS over a transverse, im actually at peace of it...breech though...i would want to at least attempt a vaginal but would have the understanding it may not turn out that way.

Today i had my last monthly appt. Now i go every two weeks until 36 and then every week after that...can't believe im so close to the home stretch! once biweekly appts start things really go fast. I also had my GD test. im hopeful for good results though

vic161209- congrats to your friend! that is such wonderful news

If you go to the spinning babies website they have a great selection on belly mapping there
But at this stage its a little more tough to decipher. Even medical professionals can have issues bc the baby isn't all that big yet. But the further along you get the easier it will be.

Yes anakerose I get awful pms but this is pms on steroids lol its awful! X

Oh good...I thought I was going crazy...I've had depression problems in the past so I was hoping it wasn't coming back with a vengence. I'm already getting people to watch me after baby is born.

mood swings are one of those lovely common happenings of pregnancy....sometimes i really do feel bad for the men though....then i think about giving birth and that thought goes right out the window

My partner wants to go for a 3d scan as we do not have scans and or anomaly scan. I do not want to spend the money although i'd love a proper scan to check all is ok. But i can't justify it when things are so tight. I have wanted one on all my kids and never had one and afraid i will regret not getting one. We do not know the gender and afraid it would look like a boy or girl also?

I have heard nothing back from my glucose tolerance test so i am presuming i passed.

Things are very crazy at the moment. We are waiting for a diagnosis on my oldest regarding a 90 minute unconscious episode where i thought she was dead. Waiting on results of an MRI after an abnormal EEG and terrified waiting at this stage. I cannot get round to buuying anything for this baby until i have her sorted.

 

[Guppy051708]

Oh my gosh All Girls that must have been so terrifying!

Looks like you got a little stubborn one there also
Hopefully both our bubs turn around soon. Mine has moved so much today so not sure if its flipping or just having a party in there.

First time today I actually saw my stomach move when it kicked.

Ok ladies I need some input:/ I had an abnormal quad screen for downs So we had a level 2 ultrasound. Everything looked normal with only one soft marker, her femur bones are measuring 2 weeks behind (in the 5th percentile) My Dr. Wants me to do an amino but in worried since im in my third trimester (28 weeks) what are your thoughts? Anyone else been through this? Also I'm 5'3 and hubby is only 5'9.

I don't know what I'd do in your situation, but I'm leaning towards no amnio because there's only one soft marker and that marker could be explained by having a baby who is relatively shorter (like her parents). Getting an amnio would just cause me a lot of anxiety because of the risk to baby. IF the baby had Downs, would finding out now vs. in three months be worth the risk is what it comes down to. Like I said, I can't imagine what I'd do if I were truly in your position, but my gut says just wait it out. I'm sure things would be fine either way so it's really a personal choice.

vic--- congrats to your friend!

as far as telling where baby is, I got off of where I feel kicks and where I find the heartbeat with my doppler. Baby Boy is pretty much always head down, but Baby Girl switches from Breech to Head Down throughout the day.
