[jazzyjenbo]

For ladies expecting very late Maybees or Junebugs 2015

Congrats to you htf, another little boy! Xx

Checking in to see how everyone is getting on . Im on the 7 day countdown for my 20wk scan and im beyond excited i cant wait to see my wee baby again

Congrats htf!

Congrats on the new scan news ladies and the team colour announcements!

So I had my mysterious 20 week midwife appointment today. They were so lovely but I was right when I said I didn't think I was meant to have one. Apparently the lady at my last appointment must have booked in the extra appointment by mistake instead of at 25 weeks.

However they still did a bp check, heard baby's heart beat again which was lovely and luckily they did a urine test because it looks like I might have a kidney infection. No problem though, will get results Monday and get some antibiotics if needed.

Still waiting for the call sunbathing

MrsE sorry to hear you have been feeling so unwell. Not sure what has happened to my weight but I fear it has only gone up by more than it should have!

Am starting to feeling some really nice movements now. Tends to only be when I am sat down. Really lovely. I was much later with dd - I guess because she was my first.

Reading with interest about the bed nests, snuggle nests etc. I wasted a lot of time trying to get dd into a moses basket that she definitely did not want to be in so planning to do co-sleeping this time. Want to find a way that I will not be worried that I will roll on her though!

mrsE hope you get the call soon, really feel for you having to cope with feeling so poorly.

All fine at 20 week scan today! Baby wouldn't show its bits or spine though despite walking round for 15 mins so have another scan on the 26th. Bonus!

Congrats jenny and another scan lovely!

jenny boo to not being able to see their bits but yay to getting another scan so you see them again soon.

sunbathing my auntie (my mums sister) is against me using the name as apparently it should be a family name, some in family are a little funny about me being adopted. Sad but true.

Slightly miffed, went for 16 week mw app, at 17 weeks and got a mild telling off for us apparently "not showing restraint" in waiting to find out the sex, saying it was a waste of money that could have been used for baby things. The positive was we did get to hear her heartbeat again but other negative was protein in urine which could be a water infection so waiting to find out.

sunbathing the name will be used regardless, we like it so we will use it in some way.

A couple of friends have said recently their mw have come across very opinionated on matters that really they shouldn't be commenting on. One had a mw ask if they were going to get married now they were having a baby together as it was better for the baby.

jazzy must be amazing to hear all the live music from party in the park. OH little girl will be at school, so depending on when I go into labour will determine what happens as he has residency of her but she is at her mums Saturday to Sunday, so that will need a bit of planning.

elizabeth I agree, that was mean of your auntie your mum would have been honoured to have her name included somewhere.

And your midwife had no right to comment on you having a gender scan, it's your porogative as a parent to find our gender if you so wish! You pay for it and it also is another reassurance for you to have another look at baby... Some midwives really do over step the mark with their comments!

How rude elizabeth it is absolutely none of her business what you spend your money on! I would have been fuming!

That is rude of midwife Elizabeth.

The student type person at mine today said 'oh you have one child' I said 'yes he's six now' to which she asked - 'same dad'!

Yes I said sharply - my husbands!!!!

Wtf has it got to do with her!?! And so what if the answer was no! Not everybody gets a fairytale ending with one 'soulmate', one husband and one father to their children. My poor mum certainly didn't.

I wanted to head it the bitch

Bloody midwives, they're out in force this week aren't they. I'm still miffed about having the same comment bubalou. Grrr. DH was livid and said "right i'm going to the next appointment and tell how how inappropriate and insulting that was".

Still haven't felt this baby move! I'm 19 weeks on Sunday

Tranquility - I thought someone on here had the same comment but couldn't find it!!! So fucking rude!!!

Tori - sorry to hear that. Me and DH argued a lot with our first. I think it's a scary, stressful time and you have to just try your hardest to be patient with each other.

Alis - try not to worry too much. If you want to give t a go try something extra cold to drink and lie completely flat on the bed with your legs bent hanging over the edge. I find this works.

Alis don't worry! I didn't feel my DD until 21 weeks and this time round I think I may have felt something, but nothing certain and I am 21+5 - as long as I'm feeling regular movements by 24/25 weeks I won't worry!

I love all the midwives I've had dealings with, just to balance out the negative feeling here :D

The last two mw have been lovely, just this one today was a bit rude but she may have been having an off day or maybe she's got an abrupt personality.

chookford I have ignored my aunties comments, unfortunately my mum and her weren't close, she had made my Mums entire life very hard with her meaness. She still holds bitterness that my mum wouldn't see her in her last few months she was alive so she is only acting out in any way she can.

tori yep my OH and I have pettier arguments, I think it's down to both of us worrying but not wanting to tell the other in case they start worrying. Now we are aware of it happening we tend to talk a lot more about the worries.
