How is everyone x

Hi ladies.

All back from growth scan, will catch up on what I've missed when back. Hope everyone is ok.

All is fine, well ok ish. Baby is measuring ok for head and all measurements etc except tummy which is larger than average, a lot larger but not obvious reasons why, they said all is ok, he just as a big tummy. All is fine. The consultant did say we'll see what happens at 32 week scan and whether to consider c section baby is also breach at the moment.

Chat later x

I am good aside from my forehead explosion-I feel like I am in middle school again with this skin!!! Soooo oily, even my hair is greasier too...but baby is worth it all!!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Almost - ill go girl now!

So more from earlier - GTT's have been fine, had one at 12 weeks, one at 24 and one today, first two passed with flying colours, second set of bloods both lower than first which they were somewhat surprised at, hoping this third test is ok. They did say about GTT when I had my scan and said it could just be that his measurements will even out in time. Looking at my 21 week scan notes his tummy measurement was in the 95 pet centile albeit over average.

Measurements were

Head circumference - 274mm (192mm at 21 wk)
Abdominal circumference - 266mm (163mm at 21 wk)
Femur length - 55mm (36mm at 21 wk)
Weight - 3lb 7oz approx, 1547g (15oz at 21 wk, 424g)

The consultant said all measurements are fine and whilst tummy is measuring larger, weight is just on cusp on top per centile. He mentioned that they'll keep an eye on it at next scan, 32 weeks where I will also be booked to see the anaestitist (sp?) team re spinal pain relief options and said we'll go from there. I've not gained any weight. He said if looking like 4.5kg + which is about 9.5-10lb then we should consider c section before edd.

I'm feeling a little mixed emotion about it. I know I was more at risk if you like of having a larger baby but just seems odd how I've not gained weight but baby is bigger. I know that obviously can happen but just seems strange. One thing I didn't want was a huge baby and don't get me wrong I'll love any baby as I would another but I don't want people saying oh isn't he big like his mummy

I have STUPIDLY also been on the net and apparently a large abdmominal circumference could be a sign of downs syndrome or chromes. The consultant didnt mention either today so trying not to worry about it and my test was low risk, although I know that doesn't mean no risk. I am hoping it's just my weight and possibly diabetes dependant upon test.

Pics coming xxx

 

[Soniamillie01]

Here he is girls x

 

[almosthere]

Sonia, FX you do not need a c-section, and hope all is well with babies belly!!

Beautiful scan pics!!!!

Sotoday I ordered a grilled ham and cheese b.c I have been dying for deli meat...however, the teacher who ordered should have got my backup - a veg pocket, as they do not grill-but she did not know as she has never been pregnant. I told jher no worries and microwaved the ham for like 40 seconds but I feel nervous about listeria b.c it was not steaming, but it was hot....FX I did not give myself and/or baby listeria!!!! :/

Congratulations Maz x x

Beautiful pics Sonia. Don't worry about him being big. Kai was average 7lb 7oz (50th centile) at birth. By the time he was 1 he was on the 93rd. All I ever got was how cute and chubby he was now he's back to the 50th lol honestly your little man will be fine

 

[Jembug]

Lots of lovely positive news.... Will catch up properly tomoz.

Just want to say Sonia don't worry, I'm sure he will be fine! And growth/weight scans are not accurate... And Demi was breech at this point too. I know its annoying not knowing or being able to prepare yourself for c sec or natural... Keep positive.

I had a fab holiday, but seriously knackered. Off to the docs in the morn to ask for blood test, bit concerned about my anemia?

Lots of love to everyone and loved reading all your up dates, write more tomoz, off to sleeeeeeep xxxx

 

[sunshine82]

Hi girls hope you are all okay.

Well I think we got timing right this month bd day of smiley, day after and day after that.

We're on holiday at moment was having a lovely relaxing time and woke up this morning to my lovely oh well loved sports car flooded in the holiday park camp site car park. Love him he is being so lovely about it but I know he's gutted.

We're having to go home so a stressful end to a holiday - which wasn't meant to be over until Saturday.

Im trying not too get too stressed out about it esp if we are in tww.

so saaad.

Could really Do with some good news this month

 

[Jembug]

Hi Sinshine, hope your over your stressful holiday!
What cycle day are you now? Really Hoping for positive news too!

Where is everyone? Miss you all xxx

 

[sunshine82]

Hiya Jem

Yea were fine now have had a REALLY lazy weekend and were both feeling more relaxed! So much for a relaxing week off!!!!! lol!

Im on about 9dpo now i THINK, if ovd day after smiley then that would be about right.
Not having alot of symptoms unlike other months so not really thinking about it too much. Been having a bit of morning nausea, and on off bbs/nipple pain, but had all this before so really trying not to read too much into it. lol! planning on testing next Saturday!

How are you doing Jem? hope your nvq is going well too.

How is everyone else!
xx

 

[Soniamillie01]

Hi both.

Sorry been so crazy busy with work, it's unreal! Hoping to have a little more time later this week as our conference is Tuesday so all my time is spent on that at the moment!

Jem - how was the holiday? Pics look good, did the girls enjoy it?

Sunshine - sorry to hear about the car, will the insurance cover it? Fingers crossed for this month, I didn't have any symptoms when we got our BFP and it was the one month I said no chance!

I can't believe I only have 10 weeks left! It is all becoming very real now! Still a few things to sort out but mainly there. We have another scan in two weeks to measure size and tummy in particular following last scan. I think he may have turned today and now be head down as kicks, if they are kicks and not hand movements are up high again. Been a little stressed recently as DH is having real problems at work, one minute they're telling him to do one thing, the next something else and then being told off for not doing it the other way. That's not all and it's been going on for ages, long story short I think they are picking on him to get him to leave. He is currently signed off with stress and is desperately looking for a new job x

 

[sunshine82]

Hi sonia, lovely to hear from you, im sorry that your hubby is having at hard time at work, thats awful I hope he finds something else soon.
I cant believe you only have ten weeks left oh my god time is flying by, pleased things are going well for you hun, im sure the next scan will be great, it sounds like your almost there with the preparations for little ones arrival

Afm, i am actually hoping the main lack of symptoms could be a good thing, one thing that i am getting is really bad nipple pain, comes on end of the day though not consistently though!. Hmmmm. oh well we will see but dont really hold out too many hopes as i have learnt that they can also mean af.

The car is in the garage being assessed at the moment, but its looking like a write off, should find out for sure tomorrow- the insurance co are covering it thankfully.

[Soniamillie01]

Ah bet that is a relief re insurance. And the no symptoms could be a good sign. Fingers crossed for you x

 

[almosthere]

Hi ladies!!

sunshine-I have a good feeling about you this cycle, hoping my feeling is right...BFP!!!

jem glad all is well with you!

sonia-I still can't believe you will be a mommy in less than 3 months, just crazy isn't it?! I am sure your scan will turn out just fine!

afm, super busy at home-feel like I am back in college-8 children's portfolios to do and teacher parent conferences thursday. Planning on basically having all kiddos portfolios done by tomorrow night if I get the last bits of observations and photos that I need tomorrow day!

 

[Soniamillie01]

How you feeling Almost? Happy 8 or so weeks x

 

[almosthere]

hehe thanks, I know-i love knowing exactly how far along I am to the day-one good benefit of IVF! I am doing well, nausea comes and goes for me, but still no throwing up which I am more than okay with! I am always hungry, especially upon waking up in the morning. Still have forehead breakouts, but only a few lbs gained, and not too much else to report for symptoms...fatigue....having to wake up to pee which stinks lol....but I would say SO far I am one of the lucky pregnant ladies with almost no symptoms....hoping that changes for my boobs-not a touch of sensitivity, itching, streching, growing, nothing! I read breast growth usually occurs between 6-8 weeks...mine are normal :/ lol wow what a symptom rant!!!! hehehe
