TTC buddies, we did it! Heres to our 2012 babies!

[tiggerz]

Hello all, so I had growth scan done today, baby still growing to dates but has now turned transverse (sideways) He has his head to the right, bum to left and is looking at his feet??? Silly boy!!! I hope he turns, he was head down last time! She said she would talk about inductions next time :-D She always said last time she doesn't like inducing if baby is happy, but there is nothing to suggest baby is unhappy this time so must just be a change of policy! I know most hospitals don't like you going over with GD so I am happy she'll look at this this time, she also said she could/would try a sweep again first if I wanted, getting close - exciting but sooooo scary!!!!

I've gained 2lb total, but have been pretty bunged up so this could be just needing to go to the toilet sorry tmi!!!
BP was 124/87 they did it again and it was 121/83 That's pretty high, isn't it??
Urine +glucose

So all in all good appt and I am happy to know that I won't be allowed to go over my dates

- how much have you gained so far? i have only gained 3kg about 6 pounds, from my pre-pregnancy weight. I wounder if it is to little?! hmm please let us know how it goes for you. can you tell in what position baby is in? or is it only u/s that can tell? i hope things go well for you.

I haven't gained any. I'm 2 lbs under my pre-pregnancy weight. I think 6 lbs at 21 weeks is fine. I should have about 25 lbs on. I can tell what position the baby is in, I have been able to for a while. Her bum is to the left and her head is to the right. Thanks.

Tiggerz, even though you've had a couple questionable results, congrats on some good news. I never thought I would be one of those women who couldn't wait to be not pregnant again.

Yeah your BP is a bit higher than the average but they dont start monitoring etc until it gets higher than 140/90.. glad you had a good growth scan! What did he look like on the screen? Im forever wondering what max looks like at the minute.. can you just see his face or can you still see a whole baby on the screen? xx

How cute are these?! Made them for my friends surprise baby shower tonight xx

Thank you for the info on bp ER!! This pg it's always been a little high but I think I get myself worked up about the appts!!
We didn't see his face at all he was being difficult not only laying sideways but also facing away from the camera!!! This baby has a mind of his own!! You don't see the whole baby on the screen now either - just sections!!

PS The cakes look yummy!!!

Last day at work today! It felt goood!

No more 4.30am get-ups, I can relax, sort his nursery, wash and sort his clothes, put his moses basket up, work out how to use his steriliser, try and keep my blood pressure down and generally get prepared! So that gives me a good month at least to sort that out xx

 

[tiggerz]

ER how exciting!!!! Enjoy your relax from working!!!! You are going to love the rest!!!

 

[Star7890]

50 days to go!

 

[newfielady]

Just noticed my own ticker, only 1 month and 30 days until Danni gets here!

 

[belle254]

Hi all just dropping in to see how everyone is. Getting so close now ER! bet you cant wait to meet max
everythings fine on my end, just had my 16 week app and its all excellent. just tired working non stop at the mo! xxxxxxxx

 

[newfielady]

Hi belle. I was wondering how you were doing. Can't believe you're at 16 weeks! Have you told anyone yet? Or have you had either scan yet? Take care?

 

[tiggerz]

ER is in hospital, I hope she doesn't mind me posting to you ladies but I thought youd want to send her best wishes!! I read on FB that her BP is causing hassle and she's been given steroids for babys lungs should he need to be delivered early.... Let's all hope he stays put for a while longer yet and ER can get home soon!!!

(((huge huggles ER!!!)))

 

[bellaswedus]

oh my godness i hope er and max are fine. but will they induce her even if her water doesn't break? i am clueless in such things. my thoughts are will you er.

tiggerz - glad to hear that most of your scan went well. hopefully the bp thing is because you are at the hospital.

newfie - how cool that you can feel her body parts. i wonder when i will start to.....

belle - congrats on your pregnancy progress. are you finding out gender? or you are still going to stay on team yellow? do you have any scan pics of your baby to share?

well i hope you are all doing good. we spent yesterday in shops looking for baby stuff. oh my god it is a jungle. so we ended up getting some stuff in the store then just going home and ordering some more online.
so far we have gotten about 20 pcs of clothing. but not all are for new borns. some even for 1-2yr olds.

then we got: diaper pail, bathtub, bouncer and some more stuff that i can't remember.

one question, where are you letting your baby sleep the first few months? in your bed, in crib, moses basket, bassinet, cradel?

 

[tiggerz]

Bellas I don't know what will happen with ER, I guess they will try hard to keep BP down so Max can stay put for as long as possible! If they can't get the blood pressure to a safe level they will deliver baby I suspect! I have a friend on another site she was due on my edd and her baby roman has just been delivered due to pre eclampsia - baby is doing great!!! Fingers crossed for ER and Max!!! Let's hope all is well xxx

Bellas, glad you've done some shopping - makes it feel very real doesn't it!!

 

[newfielady]

Thanks for the update Tiggerz. We had two girls go early on our March Mama's thread. I believe it was cervix issues for both of those ladies. Both babies are getting stronger so it's good. One baby was born at 26 weeks.

Bella: It's great to feel all those little baby parts but they certainly are pointy. Our baby will be sleeping in our room in her bassinet for the first month or maybe two then she's moving into her own room in her crib.

I'll be thinking or you ER and Max.

wow er that is some crazy stuff you went through. but glad that things worked out well and you and max are back home doing fine.

belle - you have a nice bump going on for you. and what a cute little scan pic of your baby. if i am allowed to guess i will say you will have a baby boy.

how are the rest of you ladies doing today?

 

[tiggerz]

Belle you and baby are looking great!!! Your scan pic is adorable!!! Can't believe you're 16 wks already!!!

How is everybody!? So glad youre out ER!!

I'm doing ok, just a little panicky at how close I am now and I feel totally disorganised
