Oh katie thats horrible news, I wondered how she was doing. At least you know she's had a good life though.

I dont think the length on scans are accurate. I have 2 images from my 20 week scan, both with different measurements!

 

[Applecrumble]

Oh katiee sorry to hear your sad news about your nan!

I was speaking to my sister who is 31 weeks pregnant and she was saying that she got measured from her ribs to her pelvic..so completely different to what my mw told me.

 

[Kaa286]

Oh Katie Huni that's awful news and I know it's not easy at all and a complete cliche but try to take comfort knowing she will no longer suffer when the time comes for her.

I didn't have loads of measurement info the one thing they say online is missing from mine. I googled to find out if baby is measuring ok size for how many weeks I am as mw said nothing and think it's ridiculous I have to wait 5 weeks after scan to actually be able to discuss it especially as have anterior placenta and had to Google it myself!!!!

No idea measurements for us but heard it's top of uterus to pelvic bone but no idea where top of mine is either but presume it around belly button area. Xxx

 

[chazhavnfun]

Katiee I'm thinking of you darling xx

Hi Ladies,
I am so crap at coming on and updating - I had my second 20wk scan last friday same as NJP and although baby still didn't really play the game they did manage to get a good look at the heart and the face which they couldn't do at the first 20wk scan!
Hope everyone is ok xx

 

[katiee24]

Thank you for all the kind words ladies..Pregnancy hormones aren't making it any better for me but I'm hoping she's at peace soon! Will try and keep up with all the posts and updates as much as possible xxx

 

[babyphoenix]

So sorry Katie Hope you're getting on okay.

Hopefully it cheers you up a little to know our V-day is on Friday! 50% survival chance and the doctors will do all they can if they're born then! Very conscious of that.

A bit morbid but it also means that if the worst happens it's classed as a stillbirth and no longer a miscarriage and means our babies are recognised with a birth and death certificate... Think I'm just a bit of a pessimist after 2 losses though.

 

[katiee24]

Thank you baby Phoenix! I completely forgot tbh! Safe to say my head is elsewhere at the min. Fingers crossed he stays put for another 16 week as I wouldn't like to go into labour any time soon

 

[mellie_88]

Times going quickly recently. Only 3 more weeks till my V-day.

I've been a proper little house wife today. Spent the morning sewing (will try and put a pic up of what I made later) and then all afternoon cooking. Normally my OH cooks dinner as I work later than him but today I took control! Haha I assume its my hormones!
Our isofix bases came today too. So excited!

 

[babyphoenix]

Guess where I've just been...

To pick up my birthing pool!! Wooooooooo!

 

[Kaa286]

Great news niknak!!

Err what's v day mean?? Sorry if I'm being thick! :-/

Yay that's fab Phoenix can't wait see it xxx

 

[babyphoenix]

V day is when if your baby is born at 24 weeks it has 50% survival chance and doctors will do all they can to save them.

My pool!

 

[chazhavnfun]

Is it not that there vaiable and they get birth/death cert if god forbid something was to happen also? I read that on here.

 

[nicejuicypear]

Katie, really sorry to hear about your gran. Hope you are all bearing up okay.

Chaz, sorry to hear about your uncle, what a sad and unexpected loss.

I have been away for a long weekend, just me and the missus, we had a few days away to ourselves without the children, a little break before the endless days and nights of crying and nappies! It was lovely but tiring. Baby was very quiet when I was away because I was so active, but today I've been resting up and she's been kicking about all over the place.

I came home to find that my eldest stepdaughter had completely cleared out the nursery - it had been full to the brim (literally) of all our junk. She had cleared it out, taken stuff to the tip, organised things into the garage and stripped all the wallpaper off. It was such a lovely, thoughtful thing to do, as I couldn't have done it anyway due to the mould on the wallpaper. So now the room is ready to be decorated, once we get a radiator put in!

 

[Kaa286]

Pool looks amazing I want one!! We have a giant paddling pool for garden wonder if that would do?! Hehehe!!

Ah right so the v means viable then.

Njp that's so amazing of her what a star!!! How old is she??
She's definitely owed a huge treat after that lovely surprise huh?! xx

 

[mellie_88]

NJP, she sounds like a right sweetie, that sounds like it probably took her quite a while. I assume she's excited about the new baby then? Have you decided how you're going to decorate the new nursery yet?

 

[babyphoenix]

Ah yes v stands for viability, did I not mention that? Haha.

Does anyone else find they're so not taking crap from people anymore now that they're pregnant? I have a few friends on Facebook who like to start Facebook arguments and now that I'm pregnant I'm just like, really? You're coming on my status and starting an argument? Do you not think I have better things to do?

Last weekend I told a guy from college who hasn't talked to me in a few years, but wanted to start slagging me off:

"Im just not interested in your self important bullshit anymore. I have more important things going on im my life than worrying about whether you think i'm a fucking idiot. petty facebook insults are the bottom of my list right now so feel free to remove yourself from my status or my friends list, i aint fussy."

He did delete me! HAhahaha. I also just deleted a friend's comment on one of my statuses about domestic violence (don't you hate when men try to be start arguments and say stuff like how dare a woman post something that focuses domestic violence on females only?!) So I just deleted his comment.

Can't be arsed with it any more!!

 

[Applecrumble]

haha yes... I completely flipped last Friday because I had some crap customer service... completely lost it...didnt swear but definately raised my voice....

3 people serving and I was the only one waiting to be served... 2 of the people behind the desk went off without me, 30mins later im still waiting to be served... had too ask twice for the guy to get someone to help me... and the guy came back to his desk and said..'sorry that you had to wait' that made me flip...I was like 'no you werent otherwise you wouldnt of walked off without serving me'....and he started to explain that he hadnt had a break... and that just made me madder... Im still mad recalling it!

 

[Kaa286]

Oh I know the feeling well also. I am finding I have zero tolerance for anyone or anything haha.

Hate bad customer service. I once was having my things scanned through the till when woman behind me next in the queue asked the checkout operator a question about a product on a shelf behind her. The assistant stopped my service to answer her question so I said excise me but I'm ur customer and u need to complete serving me before moving on to another customer plus she was next so should have waited her turn wouldn't have taken 2 minutes I told the other customer she was rude.

I often get told I'm embarrassing by family of mine as they hate the fact I say things like that and when ppl block the aisle chatting I'm always like what a great place to stand for a chat!!

Must admit this all occurred pre pregnancy and worse now oops!! Hahaha xxx

P.s. omg!! Nearly forgot then I was fuming this morning in work as went to make a coffee and all my decaf coffee has gone and empty jar put back in cupboard!! I can't have caffeine it makes me feel really ill rest of the day. How selfish can people be really!!!! Xx

gr the guy who I mentioned commented on the domestic violence thing proper annoyed me a few weeks back. Someone had peed me off and again I didn't fancy a Facebook argument so just posted a status venting. He started yelling at me that just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I'm better than anyone else ! I was just like yeah right whatever. Then he sent me this total non-apology by inbox:

"I just wanna say.
I have nothing against you in the slightest at all,and i may have went abit ott (ask [mutual friend] what im like, im very unpredictable and never actually mean to upset someone)
The only reason i really flipped my shit is because my chances of being able to have children is slim because of problems,.. And i personally think no one should judge anyone, espeically when they are carrying a baby, if that makes sence?
Like I said, not a problem with you in the slightest, just kinda lost it a bit."

Wasn't an apology just an excuse! Naar.
