June 2015 - thread 7 - finding out our teams!! Pink/Blue/Yellow which are you?

[jazzyjenbo]

For ladies expecting very late Maybees or Junebugs 2015

Just ignore me bringing the thread down - again!

Hubby is trying to sort the tax out. We should be able to pay it easy enough as we have some savings. It's just a shit time as we know we have to set aside a lot of money for may / June now when little man is born as we have to be in London for weeks so train, food, accommodation etc on top of money to buy all the usual baby stuff for like prams and bedroom etc, etc.

Oh well it will work out.

I have been given penicillin so that should sort out the UTI. It's just non stop. Bloody sciatica is kicking in and hurts when I walk.

Bring it on. The universe is trying to test me but it's not working. Screw you!!!

Thanks for the good luck wishes xx

Thanks all.

Really appreciate having somewhere to vent because as you all know it's not easy to do in real life as you don't want to upset people / worry your family etc.

So glad there's such a nice group on here.

Hope everything's ok Bazza.

Oh gosh, hopefully things can only get better from here bubalou.

I didn't notice your post yesterday, sunbathing, I hope everything is ok at your rescan. My anterior placenta is high, I'm just getting very occasional movements low down (I imagine when baby is in breech position and kicking underneath the placenta). I'm 22 weeks today.

bubalou were all here for each other. We are the junebugs and we help each other out. Im glad we are all able to speak to each other on here as well as fb. Its such a help x

Got my 20 week scan at 11am. Eeeeeeeeeee! :D

Wow you are having a rubbish week buba :( I hate it when you get those periods where it just seems to be bad news after bad news.
Usually I end up cracking over something really pathetic after a load of bad news, like burning my oven chips or leaving my phone in the wrong coat pocket.
I always just want to retreat to my bed and refuse to move for a week when things get like that (not got that luxury sadly!).

Bubalou yours boys are lucky to have you! So strong and positive. I'd want you on my team

The heart charities can support you - my friend (with the baby with CHD) is based in Glasgow and they have these Ronald Macdonald flats for families to stay in near the hospital so they can stay somewhere homelike during treatment. I'm sure there'll be similar facilities in London.

Bazza I hope there's nothing to worry about. Will they rescan you? What's the plan? (Sorry if I've missed an update ... Sometimes it's hard to follow lots of different overlapping conversations on here!).

forty and tracey good luck for scans today.. And anyone else who is having one!

buba oh my love you really are going through it aren't you.., HMRC are notorious for fucking up tax codes they have done it to my dh twice.. Once in our favour once against, I hate them!! Hope you get it all sorted out soon as well ax the UTI! Go to centre Parcs and completely chillax and forget about everything for a week! Have a great time..

bazza sure everything is fine they are just taking all the necessary precautions, if you are tiny it would make sense that your baby will be small too, as hard as it is try not to worry

Good luck with the scans girls.

Bazza, I'm sure it's nothing but at least they're being thorough. Try not to worry yourself.

Sunbathing when's your rescan?

Buba I think you're entitled to have a moan, sometimes in life everything comes at once and it all gets a bit much. Hope the antib's kick in soon and enjoy your time away.

Thank you so much everyone.

You are all amazing.

Can't wait for our Facebook thread to be full up of gorgeous baby pictures in May / June and July.

Hello all! Just stopping by to add a picture of my son Taken this morning. The sonographer couldn't get a good view of the heart, so we have to go back in 3 weeks, but everything else looked fine. Can't stop smiling now!

Not too long to wait then sunbathing.

Ah glad it went well teeste and another scan soon too.

teeste massive congrats on your good scan news.

bubalou I wouldn't panic about tax issue. Same thing happened to me, all they will do is alter his Tax Code so he pays a little more tax each month than normal, they won't ask for it in one go. They did the same thing for me, I didn't need to do anything as tax office automatically sent a new Tax Code to my employers wage department. So don't pay them anything from savings just yet.
teeste lovely scan pic.

Thanks all! Sunbathing - yep, he was being awkward (quelle surprise) and facing us, so it took ages to get a good look at his spine and the heart was impossible! I imagine it happens all the time, the sonographer didn't seem surprised. Good luck for Wednesday!

Gosh, I cannot keep up so apologies if I miss anyone! Hope Centreparcs is the start of a more relaxing time for you Buba and for those of us whose babies are being difficult at the anomaly scans that they play game when they go back, cheeky monkeys! I agree with whoever talked about that it makes sense if you are a smaller than average adult that your baby is likely not to fall within the 'average' range, why do they worry you with all so called normal ranges, wish sometimes they would apply common sense and logic so you can at least be told they want to investigate something but hopefully try and reassure you at the same time. Anyway, my rant over on that and wishing us all and our babies the best care possible over the next few months.

I'm v jealous of those of you thinking of your mat leave, I work for myself and can't really afford to take it as I'm the main earner. Never took time off last time and have to admit I'm struggling this time and stressing about how I'm going to manage with two. I have definitely let the business slip a bit since having my son and am beginning to worry about money etc but I guess we'll cope, wish we could win the lottery!!

I'm also having v silly worries over me dying, told you I was mad!!! I get so worried that something might happen to me and my son would be without me, let alone baby no 2 who is en route, is this normal??? Does anyone else worry about it?

God, think I'm just stressed about everything, January blues maybe?

Hope everyone is doing okay and that those having scans today, get a big hello from their babies ??

They called this morning and I'm going for a scan on Monday morning. Extra scans can only be a good thing right now. I've had the most awful cough for a week now but it seems to be prompting him to move around which feels so weird! It seems he also likes Branston flavour mini cheddars.

newbie - I'm sure you're not alone in fear of dying. Why is it often the irrational stuff that we can't really control that we focus on? Or maybe that's why we focus on it?

Bazza - the amount of sentences I've started with my hubs lately that involve "I think baby likes/wants...".

So we had our scan this morning. Baby was fairly wriggly but behaved enough for the sonographer to get everything needed.

All looks good, and I can report that I am joining the majority in expecting a beautiful boy! :D

Turns out I have an anterior placenta which explains why I've not felt very much movement yet, so fingers crossed I should feel more soon!

Been absent for a while as I'm sooooo tired & fed up at work and frankly doing anything other than keeping up to date with this thread is exhausting me. But it's Friday and no more crappy office for 2 days so in a much better mood!

Buba I can't believe the week you've had! What a total rollercoaster and the fact that you're apologising for having a bit of a moan seems ludicrous. I would have had a total emotional breakdown at every single event by now. I think you're handling it all admirably! Enjoy your weekend - looks like you're going to have beautiful weather for it

Bazza as others have said hopefully you have nothing to worry about but at least they're following up any doubts they have. Certainly puts faith back into the NHS as it's easy to lose sometimes!

I'm off shopping tomorrow with my SIL (the also pregnant one) to buy "fat" tights, jeans and underwear. Might treat myself to some skinny belts too to emphasise the bump as there's not much there right now and want to cinch in above it to make the most of it!

Also, I was complaining how all my bras are now cutting in and someone told me that your rib age expands during pregnancy to allow for the extra lung capacity required. Does this ring true to anyone or am I just putting on weight in places I shouldn't?!
