August 2017 babies!

[Elspeth]

Congratulations Rose on your baby boy.

H4R, must be so tough. No doubt you are being an excellent mummy to your little boy and your bump. I'm sure things will get easier.
Saying that I'm sure you could get some more support if you wanted it. Have you had any sort of counselling, do you think it would help to talk about your feelings, i know we feel we have a pressure on us to be ok and just get on with things.

Loving all the baby buys. Miss Charlie, you are very organised.

Also loving name chat.
I have lots of girls names i like ( front runners are Meredith and Beatrice, my husband like Josephine)
Boys names are much harder.

I'm starting to waver about not finding out the sex
Just not sure i can not know.
I'm having a really stressful few weeks, two job interviews in the next week. Urrrgh. Feel it would be a nice treat to find out on 24th, but haven't made my mind up yet!
At this rate strongly likely I'm having a girl.

Here's my 18+6 baby bump.
Pretty obvious now.

Enjoying it but a little worried I'm going to end up being huge.

 

[PeanutButter]

Wow, it's definitely obvious. I'm jealous aha. Xx

 

[tashap]

Elspeth- beautiful bump x

 

[Hoping4Rainbow]

Awww
what an amazingly beautiful bump Elspeth!!!

 

[MissCharli]

Wow that is a good bump

19 weeks today!

 

[tashap]

Misscharli- eek nearly half way. Are you first? That's going to feel like a massive milestone. Remember joining tri 2 and thinking I can't believe we are here x

 

[MissCharli]

I know, feels like it's been a long 19 weeks as well haha. There are a few people in front of me I think

I have my 20wk scan next Friday. Is it normal that I'm not worried about it? I know that some people on other forums are but it never really crossed my mind to be. He seemed fine at 17 weeks, she did a little check of him at the gender scan but nothing in depth.

I'm half way today. I feel its flown by! I have my scan next wed, I will be almost 21 weeks but I didn't mind since I had he private scan and confirmed all was OK. Xx

Happy half way day Jill xx

I think it's normal not to be worried, mothers instinct etc plus extra scans and stuff makes it easier to be relaxed.

I thought I'd be more nervous after 7 years ttc and 2 really rounds of ivf but I'm really chilled about it. I have had 5 scans so far which may help (baby has needed a rescan at every one but the first) and we listen to heartbeat every few days. Xx

I was never that worried about the 20 week scan although with 2nd baby they found one of his kidneys was a little larger than it should be but all they did was give me another scan at 30 weeks to check it and it was normal size again. Even with that I wasn't worried at all. I think once you are past the 12 week mark you just naturally feel like everything will be fine.

I'm still not sure how I'm feeling about boy number 2. I think it's just that I'm finding it hard to picture another boy because I was so sure he was going to be a she! I absolutely adore my little boy and I keep looking at him and thinking he is going to feel like I've traded him in for a younger model! X

 

[Hoping4Rainbow]

Same as me Jill,
have my anomaly scan next Wed. 20+1 today! "Baby is the size of a banana"

MissCharli
yours is now a mango lol These fruit/veg comparisons always crack me up xx

I am full of cold, fully blocked nose, headache all day, dry throat, sneezing and coughing so hard I feel as if I'm pushing the baby out!

Love to all of you lovely August mamas xx

 

[MissCharli]

Yeah I guess you're right I'm looking forward to seeing him again!

I'm definitely getting impatient about getting a bump and feeling movements now, feels like I've waited long enough

 

[Hoping4Rainbow]

Aww Rose,
take your time my lovely it's so natural to feel this way initially! What you said, "I absolutely adore my little boy and I keep looking at him and thinking he is going to feel like I've traded him in for a younger model!" - I could have written this!!!
I think, although I instinctively knew I'm expecting another boy and had prepared myself for it, I was secretly wishing for a girl. I really really wanted to give my mummy's (who I lost in the summer) name to a lil girly, felt like it would help my broken heart heal a bit.

As soon as we found out it's a boy for sure, at times I fear my toddler might feel like you're saying! I am sure it will all be fine and lovely in the end though and they will be best buddies awwww xx

 

[PeanutButter]

Your gonna pop soon and be like where's that come from?! Aha.

In have my 16 week scan tomorrow, I'm gonna burst with excitement! Aha x

 

[MissCharli]

I was the same as you H4R, I knew it was a boy but always wanted a girl really. But I didn't feel disappointed cos I was so convinced it was a boy.

Ah PB I hope so! It feels really firm and uncomfortable, just not got the shape yet! Ahh is this your gender scan?

 

[PeanutButter]

Nah this is.just a check up. Gender is on monday I can't wait don't think I'll be able to eat hehe. Its at 6:15 though! Long wait that day. Hoping I can get a good picture for gender guessing tomorrow! I honestly don't have a clue what I'm having. My mom,dad and hubby said girl... me and sister said boy. I'm only saying boy cos HB is lower then 160 (which is boy I think) xx

 

[MissCharli]

Oh I see, well I wonder if they'd tell you anyway? Should be visible if baby is in the right place!

 

[PeanutButter]

My hubby can't come to the one tomorrow and we wanna find out together xx

 

[MissCharli]

Yeah of course, fair enough
