Hey girls!
Had my scan today and all is fine Smile due 20th August!
Hope all the other scans today went well!

PinaColadas · 06/02/2014 17:17

Great news today!

Ooh hungry I still don't really know what I'm feeling, could be anything could be the baby!bwish I knew.

Still not got NT letter back, rang today she said could be another 2 weeks! I huts want it out of my mind argh!

PinaColadas · 06/02/2014 17:17

Argh auto correct, that should have said I just want it out of my mind

HungryHorace · 06/02/2014 17:32

Lucy, is that the B Dual by Britax?

We would have happily gone for a side by side if only our front door / hallway were wider. It's truly a logistical nightmare.

And most are lie flat, aren't they? Not nice for a newborn, I don't think.

Piña, Baby HH seems to be most active at night. I call him the elephant as he's so rowdy!

That's crap re your NT letter. Did they say why it's so slow?

And that's good news, Rose. :-)

I just thought i would join Grin , i am due dc3 on the 26th aug, tbc on monday at my 12 week scan , my dd1 is 5½ and my ds1 is 4½ months so i am still in shock but getting used to idea of being a mother to 3 Smile. Xx

lucyfluff · 06/02/2014 18:39

Im not sure Hungry!! It may well be that one...DS climbed in and looked very cosy Smile it has a bar across the front and is suitable from birth.

Newborns just seem so teeny lying in a big pram, I loved the carrycot part last time. Oh decisions!!!

eeyore2911 · 06/02/2014 19:07

I've gone for the twone for the twins, mainly as a side by side won't fit through my door and I liked the fact that you can have the matrix 2 car seats (need no adapters either) which can either lie flat as a carrycot or be a normal car seat shape... (And can be used till 18months-heavy tho lol) Then the seats fit on chassis afterwards Grin it's all arrived as got it cheap in sale online but not dared to unpack it yet!!

travispickles · 06/02/2014 20:00

All this talk of prams. You are scaring me!! I have just had parents evening and an exhausted. Also been lying to parents about taking their children on French trip. Not at 37 weeks I won't !! But I don't want to tell school yet :-)

Secretlypregnant · 06/02/2014 20:01

I loved the Jane lie-flat car seat, eeyore. I had the older version so it was just a carrycot and a lie-flat - it didn't turn into a normal car seat shape. But it was great for long distance car journeys, especially in the heat of summer.

Secretlypregnant · 06/02/2014 20:02

Welcome, 3rdtymmummy2b - how exciting! I have cousins with a similar age gap as your youngest two will have, and they have always been like best friends. Smile

Secretlypregnant · 06/02/2014 20:08

Loads of time yet, Travis! I'm concentrating more on leggings and bio oil at the moment!

Ooh, talking of which, my Seraphine leggings arrived today! They are absolutely lovely and so soft. Tomorrow I can finally wear something other than my baggiest jeans! It's lucky I work from home - I'd never get away with sitting with my trousers undone in an office.

HungryHorace · 06/02/2014 20:12

Welcome 3rdtymummy! I've just lost my most mental person here crown!

Will your DS and new DC be in the same school year? We've just missed that, thankfully!

Jenbee1 · 06/02/2014 20:38

Piña who did you call? My scan was too weeks ago and I haven't heard anything. I thought I'd have to wait until my next mw appointment on 25th February but if there's a quicker way I'm keen to find out

Welcome to all the new mums to be and congrats on all the scan news

mel0dy · 06/02/2014 20:58

Secretlypregnant, love the hosting job you're doing. :) Sorry not really commenting on anyone else's news much but not gone public yet and sneaking forum views when I can. At the risk of outing myself, we run a rehearsal studio for bands so most of our customers are close friends and I keep getting paranoid they'll get a glimpse of the word PREGNANCY on the laptop!

We're embarking on a publicity tour tomorrow, starting with parents (mine first on the rational that the in laws already have grandchildren so it's only fair!) It's ridiculous at the age of 34 but I'm crapping myself! Feel like I'm 14. If I do get stuck for words will just have to wave the scan picture at them.

eeyore2911 · 06/02/2014 21:02

Secretly, I can't wait to give it a go now lol! I've snuck one out of the box to look now OH is in bed!! It's nice looking and sturdy Grin

Secretlypregnant · 06/02/2014 21:24

Ooh, sorry if I'm coming across like that - certainly no more a host than anyone else is!

Eeyore, it's exciting and weird to look at those things isn't it!

Have fun telling everyone your news tomorrow, Mel0dy.

Pina, I'm still waiting for the Harmony results - should get them at some point next week. And I now seem to be feeling sick at 4pm like clockwork - when will it end?!

Smile
mel0dy · 06/02/2014 21:31

Secretly, it's the sort of thing I'd do if I was on more often! This thread moves so fast, round ups are good, don't change! :)

22honey · 06/02/2014 21:56

Thank you secretly pregnant, yes Im hoping to have a smooth 6 months ahead..sounds like forever!

Thanks also everyone else for the advice about the midwife...I was pretty sure I did have a choice as it were (infact Im not sure it was my midwife who said it, but a woman at the booking scan who was asking all the questions about family history etc, there were 2 women there)

I will definately bring it up next time....congratulations to those who have had positive scans its great to hear lots of good news!

My mum is extremely happy and sounds very excited, it will be her first grandchild and she cant wait to take me shopping for lots of new gear (and admittedly I cant wait either!). It will be very emotional for me for some (deep and personal) reason as my mums mother committed suicide when mum was just 19 and she had me not too long after, and I guess it gets me somewhere deep because she never had her mum there to help or guide her (and I never met my maternal grandma and have always felt the loss of not having her there), it will feel very special to me to have her to support me but then I know it will set off deep feelings for her aswell as she never got to share any of her pregnancies, birth's or motherhood with her own mum.

I'm feeling very emotional at the moment as I bet lots of you ladies are aswell, I'm also knackered I think I'm getting on OH's nerves with all my demands :D I think I should make the most of the lie ins and being waited on hand and foot for as long as possible! ha xx

22honey · 06/02/2014 21:59

hi 3rdtymmummy and all other newbies to the thread, congratulations! :)

PinaColadas · 06/02/2014 22:14

I just don't know what's what Hungry, keep thinking its just wind haha. Wonder when I'll know for sure, I'm 15 weeks tomorrow.

jenbee I rung the anti natal clinic at the hospital. They said don't worry because would have got a call by now if it was worrying results but just want to see the number now.

mssleepyhead · 06/02/2014 22:33

Hello ladies,
Great to hear it was another good day of scans! Loving how you're all getting into prams and car seats. Really hope I'll be joining you in such talk in a week and a bit.
Feeling anxious again tonight as got a brown smudge again after cycling home, third day in a row. Will be trying to speak to a midwife tomorrow to get some reassurance. Really hoping its nothing but scared I'm going get bad news a week on Monday. Feeling worried about it already.
Onwards. Trying to convince myself there's nothing I can do anyway. I need to calm down and just wait and see... In the meantime: still lots of nausea which I guess is good??
Good night all - wishing you another good day tomorrow!

2beornot · 06/02/2014 22:34

Evening. GLad to see another day of successful scans.

I ordered myself some dresses from Tiffany rose last night. Honestly if you've got an event to dress up for then their stuff is fab. I just hope my bump shows nicely (will be 22 weeks when I get to wear it).

I'm using the same pram I has with Dd for this one too. I can't really justify buying A brand new one. I think once it's out of carrycot I'll get a new pushchair then (I've got my eye on a mamas and papas sola!)

HungryHorace · 07/02/2014 06:57

Mssleepyhead, it does sound like your saddle is maybe causing some irritation which leads to the bleeding. I hope the midwife can reassure you.

2be, we don't have a choice but to buy a new (to us!) pram as we need a double! Otherwise we'd have just used the current one.

Lucy, I agree that newborns just don't look right on the lie flat seats.

I had an earlyish night last night and feel better for it. I may be awake now though! DD just needed a cuddle from me as she woke up crying. Poor thing. Dreading going back to work because I wouldn't have been here to give it then as I'll be leaving at 6.30. :-( Thank god it isn't for long.

PinaColadas · 07/02/2014 08:46

Happy Friday ladies!

Good luck with scans today, is it just Lynnieboo?

Starting with a cold today nooooooo, it's only a month since my last one.

2beornot · 07/02/2014 09:02

Sat at doctors waiting (appt was 8.40 but still waiting at 9.00)!! Hoping for a referral to physio - wish me luck!
