How is everyone doing? I'm 19+ weeks now and feeling lots of movement. Hubby has felt a few kicks too which is great! So reassuring!

We had a scan last weekend and the sonographer is fairly convinced we're having another girl! We couldn't be happier!

I hope everyone else is having happy, healthy pregnancies

Hey

im 21+ now,im the same been feeling plenty of movements & can see my belly move,its amazing. Aww congrats

LoopyLolly88 · 04-04-2013 11:54PM

she did mention my placenta is low but they will check again at a scan at 32 weeks,anyone had this?

nicowa · 07-04-2013 07:26AM

21+5 and it's feeling really real now! Kicks are coming quite often and my lower back can really feel the stretch. Scan is next Saturday. I had to put it back a few days as my little girl got the chicken pox last week and I want it well cleared by the time I go in.

hi we had our 20week scan 2weeks ago and we found out were having a boy :-) getting exciting now, the lady doing ultrasound said it looks like a boy but with these scans they can't say 100per cent even tho we seeing his boy parts :-) her words lol just wondering how often do they get the sex wrong?

just thinking of my scan she said its a boy nothing about its not 100%, i seen his bits so i know hes deffo a boy lol i found out with my daughter & son and was right both times. Im not sure how often they get it wrong,you could always go for a 3D scan if you want to double check

I don't know whether the figure is Irish or not, but they say it's about 80-90% correct. I know a couple, they were told boy for first and girl for second and both times they were told wrong. -but that would be something that would be nearly unheard of.

alansilly · 16-04-2013 05:35PM

that's good to no, thankfully my sister has baby boys clothes and my other sister has baby girl clothes so incase were not having a boy were kinda covered lol got a name picked already but not tellin to many ppl incase he doesnt look like a Lucas when he born :-) dat happen to any of ye ,change the name?

OH is due the 4th August. Things going really well now and the babies movement is really noticeable now. Some very violent kicks and punches going on in there. It has most definitely become more 'real' for me I have to say.

We are beginning to get the house in order and have some renovations to get done before the new arrival makes there entrance into this world. We are also having to get all the 'grown up' things sorted like our Wills, Insurances, etc all sorted (just in cases). I really don't expect either of us to be going anywhere anytime soon.

As you can probably tell from the above this is our first and the more and more my OH's belly grows the more and more I find I'm becoming attached to this baby that is yet to be born. I can now really understand what people mean by unconditional love. I think with every kick or punch I feel each night the more this love increases. I haven't started talking to the 'bump' yet... just feels a bit weird really

What I am finding is how much I'm liking the whole process. I'm finding that the best way for me to deal with all that is going on it to just go with it all. We have about 16 weeks to go and (much like that FF election slogan a few years back) we have "a lot done, more to do".

Hope everyone is doing ok.

LoopyLolly88 · 17-04-2013 07:13PM

Weve picked little mans name aswell almost certain he'll be Alfie,with my other two we picked their names early on & didn't change. With my 1st i remember worrying a bit thinking does she look like an amber etc but stuck with her name & don't regret it

Glad everythings going well for ye,im 24 weeks seems to be going by quick won't be long untill august is here

im lucky i kept things from my son so means i have very little left to buy mainly clothes & bits.

nicowa · 18-04-2013 06:38PM

We changed our minds even before she (number 1) was born.

Didn't know she was a she then, we had two choices, but we changed the girl name half way through. But there was still two possible girl names when she was born. And like ye, we didn't tell anyone - just on case. I think that's something a bit special that ye share just between the two of you until the time is right. And if that's two days after baby is born, so be it. Ya gotta be sure.

Again we have two names - boy and girl - just in case, though we actually found out this time and should only need the one. And again, we're not telling anyone anything, not the sex or the possible names. *zip* my lips are sealed!

alansilly · 06-05-2013 10:42AM

we goin to our first anti natal class tomorrow night,2 hours each Tuesday for a month, what goes on in these classes,its our 1st :-) so just curious, i don't mind if im only man there.

LoopyLolly88 · 19-05-2013 12:51PM

Hope everyone well:) is very quiet on here! Im 28+3 now everythings going well thank god,have gp at 30ws then back to hospital at 32wks & then need to be rescanned at 34wks to check where placenta is as was low at 22wk scan. Midwife kinda freaked me out on friday lol as she was looking at my notes from my last two pregnancys & the fact i had 2 quick labours and live 30mins from hospital she was saying it isnt great & we'll have to make a plan & probably get me in by my due date,not sure what to think as dont really like the idea of been induced but may wait untill 34wks to talk to my doctor x

Hello

im due the 8th august so only a day between us. Hows ur pregnancy going so far?x

blankname · 21-05-2013 07:09AM

Hi all,
Haven't been on boards in a while and have lost my hotmail address so new username. How is everyone doing? EDD at this time is 27 August (changed a few times). Anyone else hungry all the time? Not sure if I feel more like a goat (eating everything in sight!) Or a horse (volume baby!). Getting my first gestational diabetes test soon. Am I supposed to fast before this and are you supposed to book yourself in for an appointment? Does it matter if you do it in the morning or afternoon? Dreading it!

LoopyLolly88 · 05-07-2013 11:03PM

Hows everyone doing? Been ages since anyone posted here. Im 35+2 not long now cant wait

Hi, I don't see this thread very often. I hope you're getting on well. I hope you're not being pressurised to be induced by your due date.

Sat through what was either a pinched nerve (coming in waves - dont think it was that) or fairly strong Braxton Hicks for an hour last night. Was beginning to think I was going in 5 weeks early.

Ohh really glad baby stayed put,im getting a lot more aches & pains and bh the joys lol x

Glad to hear that. At my last app on last pregnancy I was told (told! mind you) that I'd be brought in to be induced if I hadn't gone by a certain day. I left feeling very out of control and upset. Luckily, I did go naturally or I'd have been much more upset about that delivery than I was.

I've been told many times - and I believe it to be true - that no matter the delivery, as long as the mum has say and input and feels listened to, then she comes out with a better feeling. It's really pushed me to be more proactive and assertive this pregnancy than last.

alansilly · 23-07-2013 01:59PM

Hi all, like most of us on here its getting close now, my gf is due 3weeks tomorrow :-) can't wait, although my gf would luv if she gave birth today id say,baby moving and kicking alot even at this stage, good luck to whoever is due next few weeks :-)

nicowa · 23-07-2013 03:20PM

I'm due 3 weeks today! I can't wait to go, but at the same time we're really busy here at the moment. And we've a house move in the meantime. So waiting is the game.

LoopyLolly88 · 23-07-2013 10:22PM

Im due 2 weeks thursday cant wait but also scary,wont be long till were all holding our babies

my daughters birthday is 2 days after im due so decided to have a small party at home the week before ill be 39+2 eekk dunno what i was thinking haha!

lang · 24-07-2013 07:15PM

OH due on 4th Aug so babo could come along anytime now. OH is a bit like Lady MacBeth at the moment ("Out, out damn spot"). She would love if it just came along now. The warm/hot weather over the last few weeks has not done her any favours too. She's sleeping and resting quite a lot now in anticipation of the new arrival. Will keep you all posted on developments!!

I feel her pain. I was in a bad way all weekend - emotionally. I just feel like I've been pregnant forever. I think the extra time "trying" adds to the feeling.

I feel better this morning but I'd still like this baby to be here ASAP. 38 weeks is good enough for me!

And doesn't that sound so selfish.

Pat McGhee · 29-07-2013 08:46AM

No it doesn't nicowa, mine's a Sept baby, I'm 34 weeks with a difficult pregnancy and I've been ready to throw in the towel since the beginning! I know belly is best for baby right now but I'd SOOOO love to not be pregnant, I miss my body.
So don't beat yourself up, 38 weeks is fantastic and you're well entitled to feel as you do :-)

Rose35 · 01-08-2013 12:33PM

Good luck all from an 'August 2012 mammy', very exciting times ahead.

I just can't wait to wear some of my old clothes again and to hug my husband without this giant thing in the way. I was much more patient last time. But to be fair, at this stage I've been pregnant for 18 mths of the last 36...

I'm glad the two kids will be so close in age, and it was a deliberate move so I'd combine the two and get back to work quicker (I was unemployed when I fell pregnant the first time) but I'm tired now!

Day 269 according to my pregnancy tracker. 38 weeks, 3 days.

princessSophia · 03-08-2013 01:37PM
