October 2013, anomaly scans, boy, girls and little surprises :-)

[Natalieand]

Welcome to thread number 7 (of many) of the October bus xxx

This thread, and all its good news, has made my day.

Wonderful news flyer!

Amazing news Flyer.

Brilliant news MoN, Soup & Flyer

Congrats MoN and soup

Ice cream van finally came. Like a big kid I got a 20p mixture as well as my single nugget. Got to get my kicks somehow.

Amazing news soup and amazing news MoN here's too hoping the rest of the results are just as positive for you cxxxxx

Thanks for your comments guys regarding the baby boy dh took me boy shopping but I felt a bit under whelmed by it, he asked me if I was disappointed and put his arm round me and I burst into tears and said I'd rather talk about it later then he asked me If I wish I wasn't pregnant I of course said NO as much as I would have loved to have another girl I certainly am not so desperate for another girl that I wish I wasn't pregnant I just need time to get used to the idea of a baby boy in my own time which I'm sure I will

Only just got home and I am absolutely shattered little sit down and then I'm off too bed

Will catch up properly tommorow xx

flyer that's amazing news. Good for you :)

I've just been reading a thread on the pregnancy board about people scans at 20 weeks and even private scans being wrong. People turning up at the hospital with pink for a boy etc. what a shock that must be. I didn't even think of the small chance it could be wrong. It potentially could be quite an expensive mistake

Woop woop on the house flyer. A good day on the October bus! Still going with my work. Just had a quick break for dinner and checking emails.

Glad they are doing thorough scans MoN and hope the wait for the next two weeks is at least a bit better than the wait so far.

Seconding Shire's comment, reading good news has defo made my day! MON Soup and Flyer and to you all and hope you have a nice bank holiday weekend planned

Really excited about getting the months su

Oops, really looking forward to getting the months supply of nappies delivered tomorrow... DP thinks I'm crazy

MoN Soup Flyer.....
Congratulations to each one of you...

Natalie xxxx

What great news to end the day on!!

lovely to read good news from MotherofNations and Soup. I've been checking in to find out how your amino tests went. congrats x

Such great news today (yesterday?!) I'm so pleased for MoN, soup & flyer.

I still get emotional when I think about the day we were the winning bidders at the auction for our house. I had a four month old baby & my parents with me as DP is self-employed & we didn't think we'd get the house so not worth him taking the time off. Still remember looking at my mum incredulous that the house of our dreams was ours. Then bursting into tears & the room full of bidders (on our house & others) applauding! :) gives me chills still almost two years later! Didn't realise what a money pit it would turn out to be but heyho!

I'm sorry you went through all the worry of thinking there was something "wrong" with your babies,so unnecessary as it turns out,but what wonderful news on the thread today.xxx

Ps Natalie don't feel too bad about your disappointment,I was convinced ds was a girl til about 20 weeks,we didn't find out til the birth & at which point I couldn't have been happier that he was alive a boy. Now I can't get my head around the fact that this one could be a girl... In fact while we're in the mood of confessing,I feel dreadful that I'm really not feeling terribly connected to this pregnancy/baby. Really feel terrible guilt. I think I've just felt so rough for so long now & am concerned about how I'm tipping William's life upside down that I can't imagine how it's going to be. It's not that I wish I weren't pregnant,just that I can't imagine having another baby. Weird or what?!

Just wanted to check in and see how MoN and Soup* were doing, so so delighted to hear the good news! What a happy thread. Really hope you both enjoy your pregnancies X

Congrats to the three of you from me too xxx

Morning all

Yeah MoN and soup and flyer! Fantastic news...was a litle anxious logging on in case of bad news but this is fab. Such a relief for you both.

Natalie, I felt a little like this with Ds1..not disappointed but I was convinced it was a girl and therefore felt like a wouldn't know what to do with a boy. Trust me though, once you have him you will never imagine life with just girls. Wee boys are so affectionate and so much fun. I don't mind what we have this time but am now swaying towards a second boy as they will be close in age. You will get used to the idea and grow to love him. It's natural I think to be more concerned with the opposite sex and I know DH would be apprehensive at the thought of a girl. I did buy a great book called Raising Boys though where I'm learning what the different stages of boyhood are like for them!!

tucking I feel bad too as I just havent' had much time to think about this pregnancy and forget I'm pregnant half the time. I don't feel very bonded just yet but I know once I find out the sex and once LO is actually here I will be totally in love :)

Congrats to MoN, Soup, and flyer!

I'm 15 weeks now and still absolutely exhausted. I go to bed most days right after work. I also still get dizzy when I stand up, although that's improved slightly. Is this normal? I keep waiting for it to get better on its own but now I'm wondering if I should ask the midwife about anaemia at my appointment tomorrow.

Morning all, wow, 4 pages already on the this thread!

Its wonderful to read such happy news MON soup and flyer I'm delighted for you all

I haven't had much happening - aside from terrible heartburn, I almost wouldn't know I'm pregnant now. I've got my 15wk appt next Wed so kind of hoping the midwife will maybe give me another sneak peek, I know she was getting an ultrasound installed in my local Dr's.

Can anyone recommend any good books on breastfeeding? I'm thinking I'd probably better do as much research as possible before since it doesn't really sound like it comes easily.

OMG I've woken up to a HUGE outbreak of red dots on my chest, rank. They don't look like proper spots, just loads of small raised red dots. I look minging.

Anyone else had this?

Morning everyone! I am still feeling on a bit of a high after everyone's good news yesterday

ananikifo I am 18weeks and I still have exhausted days. I spent all of Sunday in bed whilst DH did all of the housework and the garden - and then had a good couple of days, and then yesterday afternoon it hit me again and I was straight in bed as soon as I got in from work.

Smitten I haven't had anything like that. Could it be a heat rash or something?

I think I felt baby last night for the first time, but I am really unsure. Someone said a while ago about the feeling of lightly flicking the inside of your cheek (sorry, I can't remember who it was and whether this info is correct!) but that's what it felt like. Only 5 or 6 little feelings, spread out over about 30-40 seconds, and then it was gone. Does this sound like it could be baby?

Yes that sounds like the baby roxvox - now you will have a few weeks of driving yourself mad thinking you felt something, but not sure if you imagined it .

Sounds like it roxvox I started getting the same feeling about 5 minutes ago, don't think my baby likes me drinking tea
