So my daughter is currently using my cervix as a trampoline omg so weird

 

[Carly89]

Thank you all! Very excited to have two boys . And yes i also felt this was a more relaxed scan and the lady was so informative and lovely

congrats to everyone else on their scans ! Anymore coming up??

I hope this works, its supposed to be the closeup scan of him yawning.

Is everyone well?

Can't see anything Mel

 

[Carly89]

I'm completely knackered - I shall blame the lovely weather! I've been on a mission - washing anything and everything, even defrosted the freezer today. haha.

Only 1 week of the summer hols left for me, boohoo. Off to work tomorrow as got a meeting and then lots of jobs I would like to get done while there will be hardly anyone in the building. I do love my job, and I like being busy, but I am worried about the long hours, 45 min drive there and back and the constant demands/stress. Especially, as this pregnancy i'm coming home to a toddler rather than when I was pregnant with Zac, and was coming home to just OH.
I work full-time, OH works 4 days a week - so I shall be leaving him a detailed list of jobs on his day off as Zac will be at pre-school 9am-3pm on that day.

Iv'e been having bursts of mega energy, used to sort long overdue house work i go on missions where I literally don't stop! it's fab lol x

 

[Carly89]

Congrats on your scans, lovely experiences to remember forever xx

Trying again to post the yawny pic!

 

[Mystery26]

Awww cute scan

 

[megsmeadow]

Mel there's so much detail!! You can see babies nostrils and everything, very cute!!

I have my scan tomorrow. I'm mildly panicking but baby has been moving so that's more reassuring. I know we've had a healthy baby since but I still get the fear. I'll just have to keep super busy at work until 2! I am looking forward to hopefully telling our boys that they'll be getting another sibling. And breathe....

 

[Mel32]

Yeah im pleased she gave me a pic of that!

Hope all goes well for your scan megsmeadow, are you finding out gender? Xx

 

[Mariexo]

Hi ladies,

Hope you are all doing well. I've not posted much as I have been getting LOTS of housework done so I'm super happy about that. OH and I bought some more little bits for baby over the last week, we are getting so excited and anxious now!

I thought I would share a bump picture with you all as our little boy is getting so big now! Xx

 

[kathryn85]

Hi ladies!

We have our 20w scan on Monday and then off on holiday on Tuesday! So excited and weirdly not nervous for this one at all as I was really worried about the first one. I think it's because I have been getting a lot of movement in the last 10 days which has surprised me - didn't think I would feel so many kicks this early but I love it!!

 

[Sugar10]

Hey ladies
hope all the scans go well. We're on holiday In majorca at the moment but I'll have a proper catch up when I'm back. I haven't really felt baby move still, which is getting me down. But I know it's because I have anterior placenta, it's not that anything is wrong! But still, I just want to feel it properly and OH is keen to feel it too. Hopefully soon. Stupidly hot here, and if I'm honest, abroad with 4 (3 young) kids , plus a man child, ill need a break myself when we're back!! Hahaxx

 

[megsmeadow]

Hello!
What a stressful but lovely afternoon. All our babies measurements are good but the sonographer had a really hard time seeing the necessary bits and pieces. She gave us her best guess as she did see three lines and no added extras. So we're tentatively team pink! I got very emotional at the scan, and still feeling it now. I'm so happy,,
relieved and delighted that baby is doing well, but it's brought a little bit of grief right back to the surface too.
we have an arterial scan in a couple of weeks so I'll ask the consultant to double check then.

 

[Alipops1986]

So pleased the scan went well Megs, and I'm sure a little bit of grief is only natural.

*TMI Alert!* - the other day I thought I was going to end up with a no2 stuck in my tubes, I kid you not. Eventually, got it out but it was very painful. Tonight, I've had tummy pains as if I need the loo but it has taken ages for it to come out. I've never had this before - talk about uncomfortable!! I really hope this is just a passing phase.

Back to work for me on Monday - not sure how I'm gonna sustain the energy after 6 weeks off!

Pleased to hear babies and mummies are keeping well - time seems to be flying!

[Karenb]

Ali I also don't know how I'm going to survive next week after this break!! Suddenly I struggle to get my toddler and I out of the house by 10 and we need to be ready and out by 7.30 Monday! Thanks goodness for a couple of training days to ease me into it!!

 

[megsmeadow]

Ali, I feel your pain!! I'm sure the pregnancy vitamins don't help!!!

I'm not a super organised person but after the holidays I've found I just want everything in order. Slightly less stressful being back in the routine!

 

[megsmeadow]

We just told our eldest son that he's going to be a big brother again. He's delighted! He'd prefer a sister but he's OK either way. And recalled thinking that mummies gave birth to girl babies, and daddies made boy babies I think we'll have some more explaining to do!!

Lol bless him. My 3yo neice has told everyone she is having a baby but it's in Aunty Carlys tummy. When we told her is was a boy, not a girl as she'd said, there was some confusion... "but I asked for a little girl" she's come round to the fact now and she seems happy either way lol
They do come out with the funniest things x

 

[kathryn85]

Hi girls,

Had our scan today, all is well! Could see everything in so much detail which I am sure you all did too. Can't believe I am halfway already!

Only slight issue is placenta is lying low so I've been booked in for a scan at 36w to see if it has moved. Not worried about it though!

 

[Mel32]

Hi kathryn great news about your scan and hopefully you get good news at the 36wk too .

Im so achey, i usually continue to lift during pregnancy and as such i have been lugging furniture and books and allsorts round for our new very long-awaited carpet to be fitted today and also had my first attempt at wallpapering last week!

I have made an under stairs dumping ground that used to be curtained off into an open toy hideaway/den and did it in dark spiderman wallpaper with some cheapy led lights... Its a quirky corner of our otherwise very (Very) neutral living room. My lo is a tad young for spiderman but at least that gives it a longer life haha plus it was the only boys roll of paper i could see and a bargain at £2 in the clearance!!

 

[Mystery26]

Hi ladies
Had a great weekend in Montreal Canada so I'll update sexes now that I'm back baby has been moving like crazy every day and I feel so much even with the anterior placenta, glad it's nice and high so I feel her underneath it I guess lol
