3D shot of my wee cherub all cuddled into the placenta haha x

I had my 3D scan with my daughter at 28 weeks and it was brilliant. Could see great shape and her wee face all filled out, but not too big.

 

[cas2015]

We were thinking of booking it for around that time, not had a 3d scan with my other babies- oh I really looking forward to it!

All these 3d pics look amazing xx

3D scans are awsome!

We got a glimpse of our little one in 3D at the gender scan (17 weeks). Got a really nice shot of her face

Our next 3D scan is booked for when I'll be 26 weeks. Wanted to have one at 28 but I get an NHS scan at 29 so didn't see the point of doing 2 scans so close together, I would rather see the little one earlier - the 20 week scan seem like ages ago! x

 

[Laurajcole]

I like the 3D scan because you can take other family members, we took my hubby's children to meet the baby and it was a really nice experience for them.

Changing the subject a bit, does any of you ladies finds it difficult to breathe at times? And I don't mean only after a long walk but also after a meal or without any particular reason whatsoever? I can safely say that breathing is no longer effortless for me! x

 

[mumagain@37]

Karolina - Yes!! my breathing is really labored after eating or moving, I remember this from last times but thought it would be much later on than this, so I am glad I am not the only one! it is just everything being squashed into a smaller space, but it does feel a little worrying when you are yawning 100 times a minute to get as much oxygen in as possible!!

We have our 20 week scan tomorrow first thing. Looking forward to seeing his progress, and checking he is a HE!! although I am perfectly sure we saw what we needed to on the 18 week scan, he was very co operative !! lol

 

[KHTW]

Thanks Sara! I am glad this is just another fun symptom we must endure x

Good luck for tomorrow! How exciting! I'm sure he will be a he Saying that we are also keen to double check our gender scan results at the next scan when I'm 26 weeks! I just need for someone to tell me she is a she again

 

[Shelly1812]

Laura I can't wait for another 3D scan!! We're going to book 1 for about 28 weeks & take our parents .

Sara good luck for today's scan xx

 

[Laurajcole]

I get breathless all the time. I just put it down to me being overweight now though. I am a lot heavier than I was with my 1st pregnancy.

 

[littletwix]

Another one here with the breathlessness. I walked up about 15 steps yesterday and was huffing and puffing afterwards! was a bit embarrassing :-/

best of luck with the scans, it's so lovely to see your little one.

Attached are two 3d scans we got on friday. He looks so happy, snoozing away!

 

[mumagain@37]

Ahh, great pics he looks adorable!

 

[Clairethehair]

Can you update the list for me to team blue? Thanks

 

[littletwix]

Thanks mumagain - best of luck at your scan tomorrow!

 

[KHTW]

Great pics Littletwix!! He looks so cute x

 

[littletwix]

Thanks KHTW it's mad to think that those pictures are of our little man

 

[KHTW]

I know! It's so surreal! Apparently the pics get even better later on when there is some more fat on them The thing is tho I would like to keep some element of a surprise as to how my baby looks but I am sooooo impatient that won't be able to resist another scan

 

[littletwix]

I can totally relate! they change a lot though so you're well justified in getting more scans

My sister in law's little boy was unbelievably like his dad when he was born and now is hardly like him at all! I heard somewhere that babies look like their father's when they're born to help men bond. Makes sense I suppose!

Hey up folks

How is everyone doing? I hate putting negative posts but I'm still all down in the dumps, I keep thinking rubbish and irrational things which I know aren't true (like I haven't got any one close out of my friends, my partner detests me (and I don't blame him), I'm a great big lump of minging-ness, I'm not free and I'm not enjoying life, I should leave my partner and start afresh, my friends don't even like me....blah, blah,etc etc. the list goes on) I'm tired and fed up. I even cracked and had a glass of wine and a cigarette yesterday after not even a slight temptation what-so-ever for nearly 6 months. I didn't even bloody enjoy it -it made me feel sick and like a total jerk esp after I read that my baby is developing her lungs around now. I thought it might make me feel relaxed, but it didn't - just emphasised more of the existing bad mood.

The thing is, I know its fleeting and these shitty thoughts and feelings are without conviction ..basically I am temporarily scrambled with horrible hormones again (I recognise these feelings that hit me in tri 1 and then soon passed) everything will be alright when this cloud lifts off me again...but right now it's a stormy and grey
