Oh my god certain!! Cant beleve u only have 6.5 weeks til ur 20 weeks! Thats unreal!! Wow!!

We did a 4D scan at 26 weeks with Brandon & I think wel do the same this time round!! But that seems sooooo far away!! Lol wot we like? Were constantly looking forward to the next thing!!

Im off to my bed now ladies! Gonna try get a good sleep so i dnt feel too sick tomorrow!!

Niiiitey nite!

Xxxxxxx

 

[kbkb]

Good luck on the scan, Steph!!! Sooooooo exciting Keep us posted!!
Congrats on plumhood!

Certain- WOW, you're marching into 2nd tri...scan not too far off

Smiley- Yeaaah for the private scan! I guess it would be fun to keep the secret of the baby's sex or just to yourself and let people guess...

My LO has become one heck of a kicker Last night i counted 14 kicks in a row I bet GIRL!!! a boy is bound to be lazier

 

[smiley330]

Steph - Woohoo!! Scan day!!!!

kbkb - Haha, I wonder if you are having a girl! You have thought girl most of the way through haven't you? I need to see your scan pics!!!

Yeh I think we will probably keep it to ourselves, we just wont tell anyone we went for the private scan so no-one asks - then we'll say they couldn't tell us at the 20 week one or something. I think telling everyone if you've had a baby girl or boy is a nice part of the birth announcement - so even if we want to know, it would be nice to keep that a surprise for everyone else!

I dunno, we'll see if we last that long not saying anything!

[steph1505]

Goooood mooooorning!!! Wooooo im excited!!!!

Smiley - did u trll ppl last time u were having a boy? I was too excited to not tell people! Lol i always say im gonna keep it a secret but i get too excited! I said i was gonna keep it a secret when i went into labour...but nope!! Haha!

Kbkb- thats great ur gettin sooo many kicks!! Lol boys r lazy haha!! Id get 1 kick every so often with Brandon!

Hope everyone has a great day! Speak to uz sooooooon!! Hehehehehehe!!!

[CertainTurton]

eeeek so excited for you steph!! Keep us updated!!

kbkb- aww bless, I cant wait to feel kicks, when did yours start? I have to admit as i was falling asleep last night I did wonder if I felt a flutter...is it waaaay to early?

Smiley - you must be sooo strong to keep it a secret, I know I couldnt do it

AFM - I am really struggling to sleep at the moment. I am falling asleep by 9pm but then wake around 5am and cant get back to sleep even though i need to I look and feel so tired Got a busy day today as im testing participants...hope they are easy!
Im also a little concerned i may have a UTI starting, may try to nick a testing stick from the ward where i test

 

[smiley330]

Well we weren't supposed to be finding out with DS, but when we went to the scan it was so obvious he was a he!! We did tell people what we saw and what we thought, but no-one really believed us - so it wasn't really like telling everyone that we'd found out. And even though we did know, we couldn't be 100% sure that's what we were looking at

[kbkb]

:wave: all!
Smiley- Yes i know...I am so rubbish at uploading stuff. I do apologize. have a terrible home PC..i know not an excuse. I promise I'll surprise you positively
Certain- could well be you're feeling flutters...I felt them vaguely from roughly 15 weeks. Proper kicks at 18 weeks! It is a funny feeling...but really exciting! like proper proof of a little yowler in there...You're ok even if you have the UTI, dont worry...you can easily take care of it in second trimester.
steph- did you say boys are kickers i'm sure not as much as this drama queen is kicking me! its your scan day !!!

 

[smiley330]

Hey Certain - Don't worry about the UTI. That's what i've just finished my antibiotics for, they'll give you some safe to take and it'll clear it up quick sharp!! Haha, yes - get a testing strip and check if you can! (That's got to be a perk of your job!)

Ooooh flutters?? How exciting! I didn't feel a single thing until 19 weeks when I got a solid boot!! I hope I get to feel flutters this time

kbkb - Haha, nope, that's no excuse! I hope you do get a chance to put them up If you post scan pics after your baby is born that will not count though!

x x x x

 

[steph1505]

Aaaaaaaahhh!!!! I looooove my wee baby!!!

Wot a day! The baby wasnt cooperating at all so she stopped the scan and sent me round to the clinic for the bloodwork and to meet my consultant! Its been such a good day! The consultant said im allowed to try for a VBAC!!! Yaaaay! Then went back round for the second scan and the baby was much more well behaved! We got a pic so i shall add that wen i get home! Eeeek!

But i have a wee healthy baby inside me! And im due 11th april! Aw i am soooo happy! Soo so so so happy!

Xxxxxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Ahhhh yay!! I'm so glad it all went well, so happy for you!! That's great you can try for the vbac as well

[smiley330]

Eeeek Steph i've just seen your announcement - post your picture on here! I totally think girl for you!!

x x x x

 

[steph1505]

Im not home yet so i cant upload it!! I dont think there is a way to do it on my phone!! Im at MIL's house!! Aaaah! I really wanna upload it! It will def be up by 2nite! Aw do u?? I totally dnt have a clue...looking at the baby on the screen, i would say girl...it looked sooo much more defined than wot brandon did! But the picture didnt really show that! I just dont kno...i dnt have a gut feeling! My next scan is on 17th of november, then i get another one on 1st of march!

Im gonna go back and read the past few posts cos im being quite selfish and not even replying to anyone else!!

How r u today smiley?? Xxxxxx

 

[steph1505]

Hi everyone!!

Kbkb - ur so funny!! Get the pics up!! We wanna see! Smileys dying for some nub predicitions haha!! We all know ur addicted smiley!! Glad ur gettin lots of kicks tho!! Yaaaay!! Hows the bump progressing??

Certain - thats a wee shame about the UTI but like the others have said, no big deal! Just get some antibiotics down u and ul be all good! it could well be wee flutters u are feeling! I first felt something at 18 weeks...and it was a very definite thump...i think i put most fluttery feelings down to wind haha!! How exciting for u!! Aaaaw! I hope u start to get more sleep soon! Is there something in particar keeping u up? I am the opposite to u...i cant seem to fall asleep until well after midnite...and am back up at half 7 with brandon! I am a walking zombie lol!

AFM - well, very exciting day obv! Im so pleased all is well...and im over the moon im allowed to try a VBAC...i didnt think i would be! Would love to experience it naturally...so im gonna make sure i do everything i can to keep it that way! Just wondering....does anyone else have heartburn? I seem to be geting it quite a lot...but that was never something i had 1st time round until i was well into the third tri!

Xxxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Oh 17th November, is that your 20 week one? That will come around quickly!!
What's the one on the 1st for? Always nice to get another chance to see your baby though

Yep, I really think girl. I'm sure I can see the nub and it's down! And the skull goes with what they say for girls. . . just need someone else to confirm my suspicions!

So have you told work and everyone now?? I'm debating when to tell my work! Possibly on Monday?!

Haha, you're allowed to be selfish on scan day

x x x

 

[CertainTurton]

Steph - sooo pleased to hear all was well I even managed to sneak 10mins during testing to come on here and check around midday..hehe. cant wait to see your pics! Its also great news re VBAC!

Smiley - I think you may have a new addiction to gender guessing hope you are right! All my work knows now and i am going to see HR tomorrow to double check maternity etc - soooo exciting. Im sure its fine to tell them now!

My UTI symptoms have faded a bit so will wait and see. I really hope the flutter is the baby, it didnt really feel like gas so we will see cant wait for a thump!
Something I havent yet mentioned is that I also went to see an obstetrician on Monday and have been put on baby aspirin due to my previous history of Lupus (although has been dormant for a while). Has anyone else been on this? They also are deciding at the mo if I can have a natural labour and I may have to have a C section - not sure when we find out. Also awaiting our downs test results...how long do they normally take?

Avid - hope all is well??

SAD UPDATE - I looked up Peckles as we hadnt heard for a while and saw she had an mc so will now take her off the list hope she has lots of success conceiving again.

 

[smiley330]

Ah no, that is a sad update - sorry to hear that to Peckles. x

Yep, I definitely have a problem with gender guessing!! Hehe! I would really like a special gift or something so that I could always tell for sure! Oh I read another thread about gender guessing yesterday to do with veins in your eyes... This can tell u what I are having!! If anyone wants to know, let me know - otherwise I will leave u alone and keep crazy methods to myself

From what I remember I think you should get the downs risk result about a week after the scan?! I don't know much about baby aspirin, only that my friend was told to take it as she kept having miscarriages and all it needed was a dose of baby aspirin a day! Amazing! Do you think you'll need a c-sect? Are you hoping to not have one?

x x x x

 

[steph1505]

Certain - im sorry if i seem stupid here but what is lupus? I havent been on baby asprin before so i xant really offer much advice! Why would u not be able to try for a natural labour? Sorry for all the questions! I could answer all the questions under the sun about csections lol! Hopefully they'll let u try labour naturally but if not, dont b too disheartened...as long as u get baby in the end, who cared eh? A lot of people tried to make me feel less of a mum because i had a section, but a mum does whatd best for baby...

Sorry for that wee rant there!!

The downs results take a few weeks...i was told that today! How long have u been waiting?

Thats so sad about peckles...its so hard to express how sorry u are for someone whos experienced a loss! I hope avidwriter is ok too! And mustang! Not heard from either in a while...
