June 2015 - thread 6 - baby kicks and bumps appearing

[AnythingNotEverything]

New thread ... Hopefully no more sadness for the June Bugs.

Phryn I think I have to call the baby Revenge now. It's good for a boy or a girl!

Hello! This is my first post here. I am 13+w pregnant with my 1st child. I was going to wait until my scan (which is on the 23rd of December) but seeing how patience is not my strong point, I'm doing it now
Hope everyone is doing well!

where congrats and welcome to the thread

Welcome wheresmybiscuit! I'm 13+4 so take a seat here at the back of the bus - we an take advantage of the experience of all those ahead of us

Warm welcome biscuit, i'll get the stats updated in awhile if u let me know ur vital stats!

So i love FB, its essential for me to keep in touch with friends and family as they are so wide spread but today has reminded me that some ppl really do not think before they post!

My brother-in-law and his wife had there first born son this morning. A fantastic homebirth 2 hrs start to finish. They have yet to name the little man, and as far as i am aware have only told family.... They have certainly not had time to be announcing his arrival on FB and most probably were waiting until they had his name sorted... Yet my hubbys and b-in-l step mum announces it on fb this morning and was swiftly advised by myself and s-i-l (dh sister) to remove the post which she did... Now my other b-i-l dh other brother has put an almost identical status on. Do ppl not respect others privacy at all nemore, surely it is upto a person with the gud news to share it first!?

This has just reminded me that when my baby arrives we will only tell parents and any others will be on strict instruction not to share until we announce! Rant over sorry

We weren't the first to post on fb when dd was born. We'd texted friends and family. I'd emailed work. One colleague put a status saying "congrats to Anything", then another colleague who was off that day replied with "What?!", then the original colleague posted all the details, down to birthweight, and tagged me too so it would've come up in everyone's feed.

I think I might still be cross. We were still in hospital!

Luckily it hasnt happened to me but i think it is so thoughtless, they didnt know what it was so its all over their personal pages now saying congrats on the baby boy etc.

In other news discovered today that cupcake and myself live less than a mile from each other!!! Lol

I'd be furious about that until the day I died, Anything!

I can't believe that anyone would be so stupid as to post someone's baby news before them! I would be livid.

glad to hear of so many positive scans since I last posted - and sorry to hear of the very sad news

All going well here, I'm 14+2 now according to two separate scans. I have the gender scan on jan 2 - can't wait! I have to have fortnightly blood tests though which is no fun - I had severe thrombocytopenia with my first and my platelets are already low this time. Anyone else being monitored for this?

I don't jace the closest relationship with my dad but have tried to involve him and keep him updated with my pregnancy... I sent him the scan picture with a 'hello bampy' type message the day we had the 11 week scan and his reply was basically 'lovely. Can I put it on facebook if you're going public now?'... He didn't, after I patiently explained that myself and dh would like to make the announcement ourself when we're ready, but I was gutted that was his initial response. I suppose j should give him credit for asking first, but it still shows the negative side of social media...

We haven't done a fb announcement and not going to, we have told immediate friends and a few family, the rest will be after Christmas. I know fb can be a wonderful thing but it can also be ruined by other people posting things without your permission.

We did do a big fb announcement this time, but didn't with DD (and DS is older than fb!). This time around I'm still so unsure it's true I thought lots of people knowing would help it feel more real.

Welcome where!

FB has been great to me especially since I had DD. Rely on it for info on local groups etc, have a local natural parenting group and have the June 12 group from MN and now you guys too. Not sure where I would be without all the advice and support from it tbh....But I hardly post on my main page. I know some people post A LOT of photos of their kids and invariably get hidden from childless friends news feeds for being irritating so try to suppress the urge to post too many photos. I haven't posted about the baby on there this time but think I may have done last time. I find it really difficult to understand how people think it is ok to post baby news on there when it is not their own news and I hate it when people post passive aggressive comments on there or the ones where they say they are irritated/ upset then don't elaborate!

Anyone else restless leg syndrome? Think it is more common later in pregnancy but keeping me awake! A bit concerned I have an iron deficiency and feeling like I need to wriggle! Keeping me up tonight.

Am feeling some baby movement. Starting feeling a few things ridiculously early but seems to have calmed down a bit now. Think maybe it must have been to do with positioning. My first pregnancy had not felt anything at this stage (16 and a bit weeks).

Ems love the expression 'head in the shed'. Never heard it before may steal it

Hi all, first time posting but have been reading for a couple of weeks. Due 31 May (17 weeks today) but first baby so no doubt it will be a June bug!

Jazzy- my Friday sounds so similar to your end of week! Had alarming brown discharge Fri morning so went to mat and fetal assessment unit. Heard baby's heartbeat and did a pelvic exam, said was likely a heavy thrush infection (no symptoms). Then that afternoon started spotting red and odd thick yellow discharge (sorry tmi!). Went back to get it checked and saw baby moving- obstetrician said it is not unusual to have spotting with thush and also bleeding common after pelvic exam.

Tought this might reassure, although needless to say I have been no picture of calm! Bleeding and discharge seems to have stopped now and will ring for swab results tomorrow.

Aconda, welcome... We seem spookily in tune! We have the same edd!
I'll get u onto the stats if you let me know all your vitals.
My thrush seems to of gone now, had the pessary and it was like a miracle! Outside still a little sore but not itchy nemore and no more pink/brown.. Thank god.
Hope urs settles quickly.
Detective, how are things with you hun?
You think after 12 weeks you wont see red again but as we are proving there can still be worrying times x

Twinkle, did u have your gender scan yesterday?
Hexy and smug, ru excited for yours on monday? What do u think u are having?
Biscuit, think you are the last 12 week scan on tue. X

aconda congrats and welcome!

sunbathing I am feeling your pain on the house front. My home is for sale and I have friends who are showing me houses for £800k (which is full asking price of my house), I ve already said my budget is £350k and not a penny more as I want to put a large chunk of money on savings, get new car, buy a small business and have a manageable house that doesn't need constant maintainence. I did lose my temper over coffee with two of them yesterday, basically telling them that losing parents has made me more determined to stick to my own mind and my own decisions. So I am sticking firm, I ve lived in a big sprawling house for 34 years, cosey and smaller is exactly what I want now.

Just seen on fb aug 14 baby group (which i was part of but dropped out due to mmc but stayed on to share my pregnancy news) that one of the girls parents house burnt down last night with all the kids pressies and christmas with it! They are safe but it must be so hard for them today!
Stay safe everyone!!

jazzy that's so awful, I know insurance will pay out but it is little consolation especially at this time of year when it's all about families and being at home. Can't imagine what a nightmare that must be.

jazzy that's awful, but thankfully no one was hurt... Possessions can be replaced.

sun and elizabeth we have just had the same dilemma we sold both our propertys (one I owned in my own name and rented out for 8yrs) to buy a bigger "forever" house we have found one and move in around March time but had so many people tell us to max ourselves out which we didn't want to do we want to be comfortable and still be able to afford to do things with the kids etc! We have still spent a lot of money on our new home but it is wishing budget and once I sort of told people to mind their own business and it's our home, our discision they left us alone! I feel your pain tho sun we are only moving 10mins down the road from where we are and I'm stressed I cant Imagine how much you have going on with moving so far away..

Within budget bloody autocorrect!!!
