Okay Ladies here are a few of my ultrasounds.... Ladies with the lil girls in the belly can you compare my girl parts photo with yours??? Did you see 3 lil lines to say that it was a girl??? We didnt see any boy parts so......

Hope everyone is having a good night... hugs.

Melsue, looks like a girl. The lady that did my scan explained that the 3 lines indicate a girl. You can always have them double check at your next scan though. I did!

Thanks for the congrats everyone. Went to my gp yesterday morning and she didn't even do another test (probably because I've already done 3 and they were all positive!) She was going to refer me to one of the hospitals in Belfast which I really don't want to go too as the maternity part looks like an ancient dungeon!!! So I asked her very nicely to send me to the ulster which has just spent 1.8 million on a brand new all singing and dancing maternity unit. Every room has a birthing pool which I just thought was fab! Happy days she is sending me there, means that I won't have a midwife appointment at my gp and will have to go to the hospital for all my appointments which I don't really mind. My first scan won't be until the end of Feb, start of March....feels like ages away! Oh well, it'll be worht the wait! Hope everyone is ok!

Sorry everyone I cant read right now. I am now on complete bed rest. My cervix is a 2 and should be over a 4 or 5 so I have been put to bed and only to get up to use the restroom... Hugs to all and I'll try and get on when I can. Maybe DP can bring my pc to my room so I can get on while laying down, will see.

 

[Csunshine013]

Oh Shawnie hope it goes well and the bedrest helps with the cervix! Get DP to move the computer into the bedroom we will want to know how your doing!

[SDBL23]

hi ladies. Hope alls well with you guys

Shawnie: Be sure to follow docs orders. Are you dilated or is your cevix thin? How did you find this out? Hope you get your computer!!

DMN: Sorry about dh, sounds like he is being quite a spoiled brat, hope that is gets better for you...

Kelly: Your bump is getting ready to pop out, you can tell a difference from the first one. Your scan is beautiful...

AFM: Went in for our 13 week screen. Baby is soooo much bigger. Just flippin' and wiggling around in there. The nurse measured the baby and said that we were just right on the brink of being able to do the test, the baby was almost too big, lol. We were there about 20 min looking at the little one, had it's back to us, she needed it to flip to measure from the front and they babe wouldnt do it. So we left went to lunch and came back about an hour later and got some of the most beautiful profile shots!! Kept putting it's fingers to its mouth and crossing its feet, how fabulous!!!

I would put pictures on, but I don't know how to do it...... Any one have any advice?

 

[SDBL23]

looking online at cribs, any one have any advice for me?

 

[dmn1156]

[Kelly9]

Soooooo we had our routine prenatal appt today. All was well and we heard the heartbeat around the 160's. Yay for that!!! However...we have to go for an unplanned ultrasound tmw because I'm measuring 3-4 weeks ahead of where I should be. Last night, before I knew all this I swore I was feeling tons of flutters. I told the midwife today and she it could either be a misdated pregnancy (which I know isn't the case), I'm just bigger cuz this is baby #3, or there's twins in there. OMG!!! I can't wait until tmw. My scan isn't until 4pm so I won't be on til later with an update.
Shawnie - Keep youself busy and don't scoot up in bed with your elbows as they will get chaffed.
Hello to everyone else! Super tired so I'll be on tmw.

 

[SDBL23]

Here are some pics of our little one, the first is baby's spine and some of its side, the second is the little legs all stretched and crossed and then the body above (Looks like a grasshopper!!) the third is the baby's arm just flopped out to the side, the left side is fingers all curled and the last is the profile!!

 

[Kelly9]

Those pics are lovely SDBL!
and West of course keep us updated... wouldn't you have seen twins though at the scan your friend did? But wouldn't that just be crazy!!!!!

 

[westbrja]

Thanks Kelly! I asked my friend and she said a lot of times they don't even see twins until later. Its harder to see them earlier on. I guess one could be hiding behind the other. She said many women have had early scans around 7 weeks and didn't find out until 20 weeks. Here we only get one routine scan around 20 weeks, unless mom had previous risk factors or as in my case she is measuring larger than expected. Twins would be a blessing, but our house would become a bit cramped. We would have to consider selling and buying a bigger one in the near future. Whew!!!
SDBL - Your pics are beautiful!

 

[Mrs_N]

Shawnie rest up and let us know how you are getting on

sdbl gorgeous pics!

West oooh exciting stuff!

Kelly hope you got some food & are feeling better

 

[Kelly9]

The sonographer told us that to so we were worried for a bit but just one for us! A big PHEW there! I am super excited to hear how it goes now!!!! So don't leave us hanging!

I got some food! I ate more lasagna then I have ever eaten in one sitting before, I have been eating so much but I have only put on 1 pound and some days that pound is gone when I weigh myself and I am the same as I was when I first found out.
