Devi - that is a beautiful bump!! Totally awesome! I'll post more bump pics next week when I get to 20 weeks - I feel as if from week 18, I'm really starting to pop! That's fantastic news about India - whereabouts will you be? DH and I are dying to go to India, and we had planned it before I got pregnant - we thought that since we don't know India very well, it wouldn't be a good idea for us to go, given that wherever I travel, i love to delve into the local local cuisine! I think it's going to be a definite place for us to go next year though!

MM - happy 33 birthday! (sorry if I'm a day behind with the time difference!). The room decor you have chosen is so cute!! Perfect for a little boy. Please excuse my complete ignorance, but can you tell me a little bit more about donating cord blood? I know that the hospitals here have a facility whereby you can keep the baby's cord blood, but I wasn't sure what it was for and what the options were for donation and how it might help someone else?

Nicole - that's so cute that you think you're having a boy - I reckon it will turn out to be a girl! haha - that would be so lovely though for you to have one of each... has DH indicated whether he'd like to have a baby brother or a little sister?

2016 - that's fantastic that you're at 11 weeks with only 3.5lbs weight gain, I believe that's spot on the recommended amount. I had already gained 8.5lbs by week 11! no idea why!
 
I had a question, not sure if anyone will know. I was wondering if there is any reason that you have to see a gyno rather than your family dr. as long as everything is going smoothly. I have an appt. with my gyno in July but I would love to just see my family dr. He is so cautious and understanding and I find him very knowledgable. He told me if I ever have any concerns that I don't need an appt. I can just show up and he'll see me, I'm finding it hard to give that up and go see my gyno who I find fairly cold and she's so hard to get into. Just wanted to see if anyone knew if it was mandatory to see a gyno. Thanks!

Joli: You are so close to halfway!!! That's crazy! I thought the baby looked like a boy in the ultrasound for no particular reason really. But I also thought gossipgirly's baby looked like a boy...have yet to be right! DS has no idea what's going on regarding the baby, I think he's too young to get it yet and dh doesn't care but is sure it's a girl. Have you picked out a name yet? when are the next bump pics coming?

Devi: Great bump!!! glad you posted a pic!

tink: Can't wait to see your bump!!!

Ladybird: when can you find out the gender? (if you're planning to that is)

little aurora: just wondering how you're doing? might have missed the last time you posted!

Cord blood is full of stem cells and there is a very high demand for it. Right now I'm just going to link you, I'm not awake yet.

It's not a guarantee that it works, it is kind of a last resort, but it has worked to save thousands of lives. This is why I don't want it to be thrown away.
 
Nicole here it's not mandatory here to go to the gyno, some women go to obgyn for the whole pregnancy like I do. some just go to the fam dr which i want to do but can't.
 
Nicole- Ohhhhhh I just go to a family doctor...which is normal in small town america I guess!

Depends on a lot of things Claire. I personally would LOVE to go to my family Dr. but I can't. Due to my history of c-sections I have to go all the way across town through lots of road construction to see an OBGYN rather than a few blocks to my clinic. Pain in the ass.

Look what I woke up to this morning

Thankfully that's city property at the end of my yard. I don't have to deal with it but I do have to look at it till they deal with it!
 
thanks girls.. it was reassuring

joli - we are going to be living in Mumbai.. its one BIG, overpopulated, smelly & dirty city .. but it is also the "hub" of everything in India..
Even I had started to Pop around 18 weeks.. I remember we went to the tulip festival that weekend.. and DH told me ... WOah! where did that bump appear from overnight?? It was true.. the bump did appear overnight.. haha..

Nicole - I also dont think it is mandatory to go to Ob-gyn.. alot of women do go to them becasue they feel that ob-gyn are specialists in childbirth & pregnancy.. so thats why.. but if your GP is great and knows his thing about pregnancy then go ahead and stick with him.. but I would just go the one OB appointment and check out what she has to say as well.. just for a different point of view..

I have a Growth ultrasound today.. 26 weeks!!!! YAHOO.. I hope Pandu keeps his/her legs crossed and keeps the bits a secret.. and doesnt flash us.. lol.. cant wait to see Pandu again..

Hi nicole, I've got my private gender scan tomorrow at 5.45pm and I can't wait. I will let you ladies know which team I'm on as soon as I get back x
 
Ooooohh how exciting Ladybird! Can't wait to hear! I predict team PINK! Fingers x for you hun :)
 
Awww thanks tink, I hope your right! I'm sort of prepared if it's a boy but team pink would be a lovely bonus. I'm gonna be looking at the clock all day long I think! I'm taking Dh and my 2 boys with me cause thought it would be a nice bonding session and be good for the kids to see bubs. When I told my 11 yr old all he was bothered about was getting back home to watch the England match!! Typical eh
 
MM - that's some pretty amazing stuff about cord blood!

Devi - Mumbai will be awesome, i've heard it's pretty much the most hectic place you could go to, but it's booming these days, apparently the property market in Mumbai is skyrocketing. I'm dying to see Goa - I know it's touristy but I love Goan seafood curry!

Ladybird - I can't wait toi hear about your big news!!!
 
Devi....oooh Mumbai is exciting! I have a few friends who live there and I know the standard of medical and dental care is excellent! Even some UK people travel to India for treatment. Enjoy seeing your Pandu again!
And your bump is definitely bigger. :thumbup:

Joli...can't wait until your next bump pic.

Ladybird....oooh I will be checking in later. Guessing :pink: for no particular reason other than it seems to be girl month for us Aphrodites.

MM....will def be looking to the cord blood thing. What a good idea! Also heard about breastmilk donation which I would love to do as long as I had enough and don't have to be connected to a pump 24/7 to do it!

I have SERIOUS bump envy now! I can now feel
the top of my uterus when my bladder is a bit full. Can't even imagine what it will be like to have a big round bump and to go around with a permanent "I'm pregnant" advert under my shirt! :haha:

Had an awful experience last night and threw up my dinner immediately after eating it! I felt so disgusted and ashamed and just cried :cry:
And with the heated debate going on in TTC I am just going to hide in here! :nope:
 
aww 2016 that horrid, iv eventually stopped throwing up so there is light at the end of the tunnel!

devi - mubai wow!! x

im pleased its come up in there, i stopped going in because It was annoying me,but I think she will have an answer for eveything so should just walk away from the thread and let it be a nice place to be again x
 
phew! 2016 and GG - glad you mentioned the 'debate' going on in the ttc thread, I hate that I've posted so much on it... I almost can't help myself, I feel like ranting so badly...was trying to be constructive, but I think it might be a lost cause, so I don't want to waste my breath anymore! 2016 - I'm sorry you were ill, you poor thing! Don't let it get you down though, it's not your fault :hugs:
 
2016 - I hope you feel better soon! Dont worry its nothing to cry over.. it happens.. its a sign that your squiggle is doing fine.. & is saying MAMA i didnt like that dinner feed me somthing else!!! dont worry your bump is going to come along soon.. and keep growing till the baby pops out of there!!

what is going on in the ttc thread?? I didnt check it out.. fill us in.. what is the scoop??

joli - POST PICS

Ladybird - good luck with the scan today!! have fun!! & cant wait to hear the news

We went for the growth scan yesterday .. everything looks great!! the baby is 2lbs and 3oz already (73rd percentile).. so growing just fine!! it was lots of fun!! will post a pic later..

hope everyone is doing great! & enjoying the USA vs England match soon..
 
Well I'm back and we are on team...............:blue:
got to confess I have had a cry as I was so praying it was a girl. I think it's more the realisation that il never have a daughter that hurts the most. It certainly doesn't mean I'll love my little boy any less. Just takes a bit of getting used to.
On the plus side the scan place was fantastic, she gave us loads of extra photos, did a full anomaly scan and also showed us baby in 4d, which was amazing. We heard the heartbeat too and all for £45 which I thought was a bargain. Will post pics later when I get on the computer as I'm doing this from my phone x
