Anomaly scan went great!!!

Its a BOY!!

Aww congratulations @Jadeypie that's lovely, a little pal for him 🥰

Thanks everyone, I'm doing ok. Haven't really had time to dwell too much on it as she's keeping me on my toes. We're off to Spain today. A little break before I go back to work in a few weeks. Hoping the change of scene will help her sleep!

Hope everyone else is doing well. Xx

@xxcxdonxx james has mixed emotions haha. Hes been very up and down lately and extra clingy. think the pregnancy is playing with his emotions abit.

My partner has abit of gender disappointment and he didnt really want to find out but he won last time in waiting so I thought it was fair I got my way this time round. Hes annoyed me abit though! Xxx

Paws4thought · 20/08/2025 19:29

@xxcxdonxx are you still planning to wait til birth to find out?

xxcxdonxx · 20/08/2025 16:05

Oh that’s very cute @Jadeypie , he’ll be so excited to have a little bro I’m sure! Maybe I’m in for a boy then too 🤔

Paws4thought · 20/08/2025 15:26

Oh @Sez281 im so sorry. You will be grateful of course to have Sophie and that doesn’t take away from how you ste
feeling now. Experiencing loss when you have successfully carried babies is always a hard one to get your head around, I certainly found that.
Hope your bleeding hasn’t been too bad and you are doing ok xx

Just catching up! @Paws4thought jadey is right, boys are wild haha but so loving and affectionate... good to see all the other updates , bar one 😔 @Sez281 that must be alot of emotions all in a short time.... sophie will keep you strong... maybe crack out the ol dhea to give your bits a boost lol if you did want to keep trying. Your age dosent matter as you have successfully just had your little girl so i wouldnt worry too much about time ticking.

Jadeypie · 09/08/2025 10:06

@Sez281 i am so sorry 😞 will be here if ypu need to talk! Sending you lots a love and be kind to yourself 🥰 little Sophie will help you 💖 xxx

Paws4thought · 09/08/2025 09:43

@Sez281 im so sorry for your loss, its hard not to plan for the future even though we know how fragile it is. Extra cuddles for Sophie xx

Westy22 · 09/08/2025 09:31

Aww @Sez281 im so sorry, I know it wasnt planned but I can imagine all the feels came as soon as you knew. Im sorry you have to go through this again and hope your okay xxx

@Jadeypie glad the scan went well.

@Paws4thought aww congratulations on a little boy, so exciting 💙

Unfortunately it's another early loss for me. My tests didn't go up in weeks and I just didn't feel pregnant so I stopped the progesterone and started bleeding yesterday😢. I have an appointment with the epu next Thursday but hoping it will have all passed naturally by then.. I'm very sad as bad just got my head around it but at the same time I know how lucky I am to have Sophie 🥹

Aww @Paws4thought that’s brilliant news, exciting now you can plan for your little boys arrival!

@Jadeypie great to hear that your scan went well, not long now until your 20 week one either.

We do have a bit of work to do in the house, we need some furniture for the kids rooms as well be using a wardrobe and drawers for the baby’s. I also need to get my loft floored as there are boxes in the baby’s room we need rid of! It does feel more real now though 🫣

Hope you are still keeping well @Sez281 💜

Westy22 · 06/08/2025 20:32

Awww congratulations @Paws4thought 💙💙 baby boys are wild 😂

Paws4thought · 06/08/2025 18:42

@Jadeypie thank you 😊 can't wait to feel bigger movements too! I still feel like its going super slow 🙈 hope these next 2 weeks fly for you xx

Jadeypie · 06/08/2025 17:38

@Paws4thought yayyy congratulations 💙💙 little boys are just the best!! I crnt wait to find out. 20th august my 20 week scan is ill be nearly 21 weeks. I feel like its flying asif your half way through already. Lovely update from you xxx

Paws4thought · 06/08/2025 15:44

@Sez281 oh wow, congratulations!! Hopefully these first few weeks will fly by for you 😊
@Jadeypie glad the progesterone is working as it should! Im on them til 34 weeks as a precaution, not had my cervix measured. Not too long til your 20 week scan now!
@xxcxdonxx does it feel more real.now you're getting stuff back out? Have you got much prep to do in the new house?
@Westy22 sounds like he'll be running around in no time 🙈

I had my 20 week scan today, all looked fine and we're having a boy 😊

Jadeypie · 05/08/2025 12:56

@Sez281 aww im sure those pesky sypmtoms will hit soon. I hope they dont the and ypu have a breeze of a pregnancy haha will you take pessaries again this time?

I had my scan yesterday all's well I definitely needed the pessaries as my cervix has improved loads! And mu dr said its perfect now so im glad that was checked when it was. Baby was being a bugger and wouldn't keep still haha xxx

Thanks ladies, I'm still on complete shock/denial to be honest! With Sophie I was testing everyday to check progression etc but I don't have time to even think about it. I've booked in with consultant for scan etc at 8 weeks so will wait and see what happens!

@Jadeypie no symptoms at all (I had loads at this time with Sophie) I felt a bit sick the last few days and have had a headache but I think that's more down to tiredness! Good luck with the scan tomorrow 🙏 xx

@xxcxdonxx I think the main concern with car seats is if you're getting them 2nd hand you don't know if they've been bumped around or in accidents etc but if it's yours and in good condition I totally would.. we actually put Sophie into a 360 one at 6 months so her original one we'll be using again (if all goes well)

Hope everyone else is doing ok xx

Hey, just catching up!

Oh @Sez281 I can only imagine the surprise! How are you feeling about it? I know it’s early days so you probably don’t know where your head is at the moment.

@Jadeypie or anyone really! It’s been pretty nice weather wise here this weekend so I’ve been getting my pram out to clear and air it. I’m definitely reusing that as I don’t want to buy a new one but is it ok to use my car seat again do you think? It will be it’s third time being used and bought it in 2018 so not sure if we should be buying a new one?

I would probably say new car seat but everything els second hand if you've got it.

Ive got to bed a pram is didnt keep james, I sold it because i hardly used it so I wont be paying out for one this time. Exciting you've got it out and washing it. How does it make you feel has excitement crept in yet?

Ive got a scan tomorrow to check cervix so get to see baby i crnt wait xx
