April 2012 Babies - 2nd thread to welcome the 2nd trimester

[digitalgirl]

Join us as we head out of the secretive, scary, slightly sicky first trimester and into the bump emerging, supposedly blossoming, energy boosting second trimester.

Previous thread here

Stats thread here

Just came back from the scan - and it's a really healthy looking boy :)
Hubby very happy ... a bit miffed that I "knew" it hihi.

So how we're doing: got a feeling it's more boys in April or am I wrong?

Hello yummi and welcome. You are due on my birthday, clearly an excellent day to be born! Do add yourself to the stats thread.

I think perhaps there are more boys. Lets all add boy/girl/surprise to the stats and see. I'm having a boy too.

have just added you myself as I realised my due date was a day out on there.

22 week scan this morning. All measuring fine and it's a girl.

yay congratulations on good scan news bearcrumble

Thanks. The only thing that worried me was that the baby had the cord round her neck. The sonographer told me in a very matter of fact way and said it wasn't an issue at this stage. Still a bit concerned though.

20 wk scan on Friday went well and we're having a boy.

KatAndKit not sure if u are suppose to take lemsips?......
When i had a cold i ask my midwife and she said NO because of the congession in them?
i was just taking honey and lemon and your allowed paracetamols- up to 2 per day. it really sucks being ILL when you are pregnant, just hoping i dont catch another one! oh well at least we wont get the flu.

Baby is still moving lots, and i seen he/her move from the outside in the bath. We are waiting till after xmas to buy our pram but are looking at colours for the littles one new room.

I caved in and brought a new coat, 30% of newlook, its not a MAT one just in a really big size but should fit over bump for some time!

Just ate a whole Kinder surprise choci Santa .... yummiiie!

Received the test results by post today, all is almost average but the FL is way to the left of the scale with 29. I googled but concluded it's NOT a soft factor for whatever illness.
However, is it possible that Jr. will have short legs or might he catch-up? I'm not sure if this goes up proportional in later stages.
We're both average with 171 and 183cm so expected the baby to be not on the short sides?
Also, dyed my hair red today and will not feel guilty about it, only a tiny little bit worried maybe. Oh well.

Hi all
Just had out 20 week scan- little boy! Very cute sucking his thumb in the scan!
Still being seen every week at the hospital to keep an eye on my cervix- keeping fingers (and legs!) crossed that he stays put for as long as possible!
Feeling massive at the moment! getting a fair bump but I'm sure my bum is getting bigger faster than the bump!
Hope everyone's well

Hello everyone

Great to see lots of reports of good scans!!

I'm off to see my parents for a few days so just marking my place before I go
Gotta go to the doctors before we leave in the morning though, I have thrush

Just updated the stats with the sex news ... would be lovely to see others updating it as well as I'm curious how many boys / girls we have in April!

I feel for you Rocking, I had thrush all the way through pg1, itchy for 9 months, it was horrendous! So far so good this time, hope I'm not jinxing things by saying as much!

I swear I felt my first Braxton Hicks last night. Bit early maybe, I can't remember... I'm 24 weeks now so maybe not. Anyone else getting them?

Will update stats thread with our girly once I get in front of a PC, my iPad misbehaves with cutting and pasting...

Ooh yeah updating stats is a good idea...I'll add my little boy as soon as I get on my laptop, not my iPhone. (unless someone wants to do it for me!!)

Ok, so I seem to have hit the megamega hungry stage in my pregnancy...just in time for Christmas! Anyone else?

I wish! My appetite is way off. So far this pregnancy I've put on a grand total of 1lb!

Blimey Jambalaya, I'm at 2 stone nearly... And I look at least 7 months gone. Hope I'm not in for a giant baby! [wincing emoticon]

I'm starving, all the time!
Looking forward to tucking in at Christmas! Trying not to feel at all guilty!

Hi people! Waiting here nervously for our scan results later this evening around 10/11 pm! Aaarrrghhh horrible anxiety!!!! Better keep busy and not think about it :) I'll get back to you guys when we have news. More concerned about health issues but I doooooo hope they 'll say which one we are having! Had thought it's a girl last time but it was so early that I don't expect anything ....

Hi Nordic! I'm thinking of you all while you wait!

I don't even look pregnant yet. My friends due two weeks after me and has a proper bump. I'm still in regular clothes.

Was very worried but MW says all is ok so I'm trying not to think about it now - and hoping Christmas dinner will tempt my appetite out of hiding!

I have a massive bump and have gained 1.5 stones already. I already find it difficult to turn over in bed, squat for any length of time and get out of the bath! What will I be like by April? Dread to think. Ooh, and my belly button is almost pushed into an outie.

Nordic, good luck with the scan - we await your news with baited breath...

I have my 4th scan in as many weeks next Weds. Really hoping this ventricle measurement has gone down. Baby is kicking me so often and so hard though, she seems to be telling me she's full of life and health ... Let's hope so.

Just updated stats thread

I'm back ! Finally talked to our surrogate ( her doctor was late). And it's........A Girl! Everything looking normal so very relieved :) Apparently sex was clear to see so no mistaking it like they sometimes do specially when a girl turns out to be a boy. She's sending us the pictures and a film! too tomorrow which will be lovely see our baby moving for the first time:)
bushy I wish you luck to your next scan I hope everything will be ok !

Oh how exciting nordic! :) So pleased all is well and you're having a girl!

I'm just flying in to say hi. We've been living in US a week tomorrow. No house, doctor, car etc yet but it's okay, we'll sort it all out soon hopefully! Living in a hotel and driving a hire car at moment. Until we get a house I can't really get a doctor/hospital as want to choose one nearby.

jambalaya I was still in normal clothes with my DS until maybe 6M just wearing trousers lower under my little bump. And I'd hardly put a few kilos on by that time but a huge amount later on ...
