The fun and chat continues! We are heading over halfway ladies. Old thread is here: www.mumsnet.com/Talk/antenatal_clubs/2052958-October-2014-thread-5-Bigger-bumps

I just totally caved. Suddenly it was desperately important that I know! I have no idea what changed.

Good luck for tomorrow ladies. They mainly check the organs are all where expected, the skeleton is all present and correct and the face is all fine, no palate issues. Easier said than done but more people will have no bad news so try to relax. So lovely to see those little bubbas again!

So sorry to hear your news matildasmum :(

Really sorry matildasmam, thinking of you and your family xx

Roo yes 0-12 weeks takes forever. 12-20 flies. 20-30 goes in a blink - except the pigging nights and restless legs and the worst sleep ever (much worse than a newborn!). The last few weeks are meant to drag. I never got beyond 35+6.

A really important date for me personally is 27+3 as that's when my niece arrived, and despite 80 odd days in the NICU, 65 paed appointments since and weighing 1lb 15oz at her lowest - she's a bouncing toddler now. Once I get past that date I feel much more confident.

matildasmum - so so sorry to hear your news. I hope you and your family are getting all the love and support you need. x

Matildasmum so very sorry for the loss of your little boy . Take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your baby boy :-(

Sorry posted too soon matildasmam I've removed you from the list.

So sorry to hear that matildasmam heartbreaking news. Take care of yourself xx

Oh gosh sorry to hear about your loss matildasmum. I can't even imagine how you feel.

Most of the lifting and carrying has been done and noone let me lift a thing. Work are the same too. TBH I have had such bad lower back pain in the last few months its prob done me a favour.

Congrats on all the good scans everyone and your theory test kirsti. 2 +1 til our scan cant wait!

I feel so bad for matildasmum, reality check when something like that happens, got another week to our scan and getting nervous!

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your wee boy matildasmam

So sorry to hear about the loss of your little boy matildasmam. Take care of yourself.

Mathildasmum - so sorry to hear your sad news. Hope you've got plenty of support at this difficult time.

Goats - at the risk of worrying anyone who has had an early anomaly scan, my ob/gyn told me that later was better and that some heart defects are not visible until after 19 weeks. I think my scan is scheduled for 21+4, although I have an appt with my regular dr at 20+0 or something where she will scan me and find a reason to refer me to the dr with the better ultrasound machine. Saves me having to pay privately for the scan - the 12 week scan cost me €120, plus the blood test which was billed separately.

So sorry matilda...nothing I can say will go anywhere near towards how you must be feeling right now, but please take care of yourself xxx

Matildasmam so sorry to hear the sad news about your baby boy. Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time.

I'm sorry for your loss matildasmam

When I had the anomaly scan she couldn't get a good enough view and said it was the size of a 5p at that stage so I've got to go back at 22 weeks for a rescan when it's bigger so I think having it late isn't a bad thing everything will be bigger and easier to see

Londonjen I breast fed all myn and needed bibs and muslins they all bought milk back up when winding them

Sorry to hear your news matildasmum.

Glad to hear the scans are going well! I've just got back from a lovely family weekend at center parcs! Surprised at how much I managed to get involved with. I did cycling, swimming and pedalos. I spent a lot of time with my baby niece in the kids pool where she found her feet and went down a few mini slides all by herself! The others were all off going down all the really cool slides which I couldn't go on so I was glad of the distraction.

This week has been all about the heart burn and today the trapped wind is awful! I've also been getting some period like pains under my tummy, I'm assuming they are growing pains, has anyone else experienced this? 21wks today!

Yes to period type pains mrsb. Mine has stopped since starting antibiotics for a suspected uti though so you may want to get a wee test done if the pain continues

I think I've said before, but ive had period pains almost the whole time I've been pregnant. No other symptoms of anything, just varying degrees of aches and cramps.

Do you think it's something worth ringing the midwife about? Seems more frequent this morning already. Ouchy
