septembryos baby area (09 babies)

[misswren]

I have popped already. I don't think it is bloat as I have a double bump from where my organs have moved

This is what I have - I keep explaining to my childless chums the baba is still quite tucked away haha

When I lie down the top bump goes away but stand or sit and we are back in business....I can't wait til I get the movements, should be soon methinks!!!

How is everyone doing today??
xx

Morning ladies!
I have a wierd sort of bump - although baby is also very low down, the top bit of my tummy has majorly expanded, but not the bottom part at all.
I think all my fat and organs have been pushed up by the baby and it's taking up the space my fat and organs used to take up, so the bottom bit hasn't suffered, but the top bit has.
In my normal clothes I just look fat, but my maternity jeans mould it into a lovely sort of bump and it makes me feel more pregnant than fat. So I'm now living in those!!!!!
Although I have to go for dinner and lunch this weekend and can't wear them, so will look fat

right, off for a swim to try to reduce the fat and increase the bump!!
See you later on xx

Well, I'm not feeling amazing today as I'm pretty tired, but I'm working from home which is always good! I predict my productivity won't be at maxmium today

I just got an email from my mum saying would we like her to buy us a cot-bed as an arrival present for the baby.... - I think the answer to that will be yes!!

This weekend we're going up to see OH's parents in Stockport. I'm not REALLY looking forward to it. They're lovely people but they're not the most positive people in the world, so I'm worried they're not going to be positive enough about the baby. I know OH's dad has been a bit negative about things since he got told about our increased risk from the blood test at our 12wk scan, and I really want to be surrounded by positivity. I'm a bit worried I'll get upset at him..... and he's not likely to be at his most cheerful as they had to get their dog put down in the week, and the dog was basically like another child to them. So, I'm a bit nervous about how it's all going to go.Hopefully it will be fine!!

Can anyone help??
the first day of my last period was 2 dec, but everytime i go to the doctors or mw they always seem to change how far along i am, im due 09/09/09 that hasnt changed but they can never agree to how far along. on my maternity notes the dates dont add up, is this like it for any one else? My last mw app was on 23/03 and she worked it out at 15weeks and 3 days???

Help!!!!!

Morning firegal. i think that answer to the cot-bed is a good answer

I dont really know what to say about your OH parents, just keep your chin up and im sure everything will be fine.

 

[firegal]

Thanks charlie brown! Not sure about the confusion around how far along you are.... if your last period date hasn't changed at your due date hasn't changed that doesn't make sense! I'm due 17 Sept and I'm def 16wks 1 day, so you must be about 17wks 2 days?

 

[charlie_brown]

Thanks firegal, Thats what i fort but one date on my notes says id be 15 and 4 days another says id be 17weeks today another says 16 and 4 so i really dont know il have to speak to my mw about this.

 

[firegal]

Well, your last period was 9 days before mine and your due date is 8 days before mine.... I'm 100% confident about how far along I am, so that has to make you either 17wks 2days or 17wks 3 days by my calcs. Definitely ask your midwife cos that's all a bit odd

 

[charlie_brown]

arhh uv cheered me up loads thank you i worked it out the same as you this morning but il def bring it up at my next mw iv got my 20week scan on the 01/may so il ask there aswel

 

[firegal]

No probs hun

Firegal - I think your optimism and positivity are strong enough to outweigh any negativity from concerned people who are poor at expressing their concerns tactfully. If you feel the bad vibes too strong just remember that all the darkness in the world cannot put out the light oof a single candle!!

 

[teeny-j]

chalie_brown, we have our scan on the same day!!!

 

[charlie_brown]

Yea what time is yours??? Is this your first?? how old are you sorry all the questions. Will you be finding out the sex if possible?

 

[teeny-j]

firegal - Yay ... a cot-bed present from your mom is so cool! I can totally relate to you about your OH's parents. My in-laws are also nice people but they're not the most positive folks out there. They always seem to loom on the pessimistic side of things so I don't like talking to them that much.

Aw, bless ya! I'm really going to try to remember that quote you know, whenever I feel any doubts or worries starting to creep in....

It's quite draining when people are like that isn't it? My OH can lean that way himself a bit, but thankfully since he started telling people that we are having a baby the excitement has just taken him over and got the better of any pessimism.

How are you doing these days anyway, we haven't heard a lot from you?

 

[charlie_brown]

Teenyj, mines at 2.30pm im the same going to go so slow. i turned 22 3days ago hospital policy wow, is everything going ok in your pregnancy?

 

[teeny-j]
