October 2014 thread 4 - scans, scans scans!!

[bumpbangbump]

New thread ladies. I should really leave it to someone who can link the old one. Can someone add the edd list and whatnot? Or maybe we should start again now edds are changing after scan.

Bumpbangbump dc#2 EDD 2nd October

Im not sure that it is possible to search for secret groups...I just followed the link but it said the pagebis not available...maybe because its secret?

I have a feeling that only current members of a secret group can add others to the group...

Sorry meant 'their' not there

Re home birth I had planned a hb with Ds but my waters broke and I didn't go into labour, I came in for monitoring and Ds was showing signs if distress so I was induced.

This time I'm unsure I would love a home birth but I think having Ds and dd around would distract me and make me unable to focus properly Ds more than dd (he had just turned 3 and is in tantrum and asking questions central right now. So I'm leaning towards the fab birth centre at my hosptial. Plus I want a water birth and a birth pool isn't very practical in our place. I may change my mind though!

I have no idea who will look after the kids when I'm in labour bit worried about it tbh! Would be convenient if it was all done as dusted while kids were at nursery/school!

Feeling a lot more energetic today my daughters school was on strike and Ds was at nursery so took her shopping had a nice day spent too much money! But bought some maternity trousers from h&m a work pair and a casual pair I'm so short though I'll hae to get them taken up.

i've changed the group to "closed", which means you'll be able to search for it and add yourselves, but only members can still see the posts. If required I change it to secret later if discretion is definitely required? Does that sound OK?

Pm'd you kirsti!

I think have it closed initially and then switch to secret as soon as possible...I wonder if my news feed will show that ive joined the group?

If you join and then delete the newsfeed item saying you've joined straight away it shouldn't show up to others. Don't think many people are ver interested in groups other people join anyway.

I still cant find it! Lol. Ive sent you a pm kirstipops

I can't find it either

Just pm'ed you kirsti

Haha poor kirsti! You can pm me too if you want an add to the group, just to take the pressure off

Just sent a request Kirsti.

So I have been a moody cow all day, no real reason and even I am fed up with me!

How's everyone doing?

I'll make the members all admin, make it a democracy ;)

noimag we're pregnant, surely it's our perogative to be moody. Enjoy having a good excuse.

Hi, I've been lurking rather than posting! Had my scan today and they've moved me forward to sept 30th. I've been feeling crap for weeks but have felt slightly better the last few days. Still struggling with the exhaustion though! Good to see the scans coming in, surprised how many of us have been moved to September.

Hey pinkfizz, I was moved forward too, to 27th! I was told my wee one is 71.6 mms, which would apparently make sense for me to be 13+2, it just really didn't go with my own calculation, maybe my so-called clockwork periods were wonkier than I thought!

Noimagination I'm usually the laid back type, so in a wicked way I've been kind of relishing my tantrums, which I manage to direct only towards those who deserve it :P

I'm confused, what's happening with Facebook group now?

Congratulations pinkfizz! That's great news.
I had a wonderful hypno water birth in the hospital btw, would be eye tempted by a nice birth centre (which let the father stay the night) but we don't have one around here. I'm going to get a pool for at home and have some standby childcare for if I give birth during the day, DS (2) would be too distracting too, I imagine he'd want to get in and play and that he'd later be distressed if he thought there was something 'wrong' with me!

Which not eye!

mrsb true words, though I do need to snap out of it, I don't even want to be around me... only 27 or so weeks to go.....

Welcome Pink

I know what you mean kirsti. My original calculation based on LMP and when I ovulated was oct 5th. I know it's not a huge difference but I can't really fathom the dates. Surely they grow at slightly different rates and it could just be a bit bigger for it's dates?! Anyway I'm not complaining it's nicer being a bit further ahead. I could do with having it early as I need my parents to look after my other 2 and they go on holiday early October.

It's apparently searchable now Bumpforme , had a couple of add-to-the-group requests npw without my having to invite them beforehand :)

I chose an innocuous looking grassy beachy scene with a grey building in the background as the cover photo to make it more recognisable if the group name is appearing in a list of many!

Kirsti I wish I could pick who got the sharp end of my mood...just burst into tears because DH just asked what he could do to make it better...

I am not an massively emotional person, so it's throwing me a bit

Oh bless him noimagination ! Don't beat yourself up, we're brewing life inside us, it's bound to take it out of us at some time or another; and sounds like you have a good lad to help you through the mood swings :)
