July 2013 - thread 5 - baby kicks and scan pics, we're halfway there!

[dinkystinky]

New thread to natter on. Will go find the due date thread to link on in a tick...

Ouch sasha!! Sounds uncomfy.

Good luck for scan later [baby brain made me forget who]

Ouch sasha, sounds painful!

vinegar I called my midwife re mat b1 form and she just posted it to me, no need for an appointment.

My parents are called mormor and morfar, I try to speak mostly swedish to ds. Then mil and fil are nana and pops. My dh called his mother granny on one occasion and got quite a stern look for it.

Good luck for any scans today!

Before findng out gender at anomaly scan, I thought we had some girl names we really liked. Found out we are having a girl and I have gone off all of them! Can not think of a single girls name I even remotely like! Good thing we have about 19 weeks left I suppose...

Yay Cheese!
Citizen my OH's niece (she's 2 & a half) was told last week I was having a baby & when I saw her afterwards she said "is there a baby in there" pointing at my belly, when I told her yes her reply was to her mom "can I go back into you mommy?" We were all rolling around laughing at her, now every time I think about it I have a little giggle!

Haha Phie. Must seem like a comfy place to go back to! Or just curious as to what it was like?! Good luck to her

Hah I told DS he used to be in my tummy when he was a tiny baby and he just laughed hysterically and said "noooooo! mummy being silly!"

Hi ladies. Turns out it wasn't meant to be for us this time. Went to hospital yesterday morning, my waters had already gone. And, although there was still a heartbeat, there was nothing that could be done.

The midwives & doctors were so lovely & thankfully I was able to get home to my own bed last night.

I sincerely hope that I'm the last one to leave this thread. Thank you all for your support & I wish you the very best for the next 20 weeks x

Oh gosh, I am so sorry to hear that flyingsprocket, so so sad. Take good care of yourself. X

So sorry to hear that flying sprocket, hand holding here & praying for you. Xxx

Oh Flying, I am so so sorry to hear your news and am sending you and your DH big hugs. I really wish that your body recovers physically soon, and hope you get plenty of love and support to come to terms with your loss. If the hospital is offering counselling, please do think about taking it up as and when you are ready. Much love x

Sasha - I spoke to my parents (both doctors) about my finger at the time. The main risk in not resetting it etc is reduced mobility (which I dont have) and an increased risk of arthritis in the finger in old age. As everyone over the age of 65 in both sides of the family suffers from arthritis, I figured it was a risk I was willing to take. But definitely do speak to your Dr about pros and cons of surgery and if the nerve block option is available given your pregnancy.

BadmissM - maternity exemption certificate (now a pretty little card) is what gets you free prescriptions and dental treatment while pregnant and for a year after the baby is born. You should have been given the form signed by MW at first MW appointment.

Supershiv - is it boobs deflating or your bump getting bigger ?

Vinegar - can you see if you can get the MATB1 faxed to you? Or left for you to pick up on your way to work?

flying I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you have a lot of support and can take time to rest and recover. Will be thinking of you. Xxx

Will update another time just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear your news flyingsp. You have come across as being amazingly strong throughout the last few weeks when they must've been extremely worrying. I hope your strength helps you now. Thinking of you.

Thinking of you flying and sending you good thoughts x

So sorry to hear that flying. Do take care of yourself. X

Oh flying I'm so sorry to hear that. What a shock for you both. I can't really imagine how you must be feeling, I hope you have lots of support just now xx

Flying so so sorry to hear your news. I hope you have lots of people supporting you. You are in my thoughts xx

So sorry flying. Hope you have all the support you need. Xx

Flying I am so sorry I had no idea there was any problem how shocking for you . Look after yourself xxx

Oh, Flyingsprocket, I'm so, so sorry to hear that. I hope you have the love and support of your nearest and dearest, and I'm thinking of you xxxx

as dinky says, if councselling is offered, take it up. It's really worth it. I know it's not easy (been through it a couple of times myself), but use all the help available xxxx

Dinky hahahahaha! MW gave me nothing at first or second MW appt, and has now disappeared off of the face of the earth...I'm sure they think it's not going to happen... I'm going to have to chase it up like verything else, it seems....

So very sorry to hear your news, flyingsprocket. Take good care of yourself. Thinking of you.
