Second or subsequent babies due Jan/Feb/March 2016

[Raeside]

Hiya - just thought an alternative place for those of us on our 2nd or more pregnancies might be a good idea. I just found out and already it's very different than the first time!

I'm on #2, EDD 25/3/16, one DS 2yrs and 2 months.

So so sorry Rae it must heartbreaking for you. Much love and good luck

Hi all. How are we doing?

12-week scans:
Carrot - Thursday 3rd September
LOD - Monday 7th
Rooibos - Tuesday 8th
Thursday - Wed 9th?

20 week scans
mayflower 15th September
huffle 5th October
LCR - TBC (EDD 1 March)
Smirking - TBC

Anymore for anymore?! I have scanned back a couple of pages but not seen any specific dates.

smirking how did you get on today?

Very organised LOD

I had to go to the MW today to get more bloods done - some kind of admin mix up with the MW sphe took over from, I dunno. No collapsing veins this time though!

Feeling vvv tired and a bit 'on edge' emotionally , but that's oar for the course I suppose.

My 12 wk scan is on 2 September - Wednesday! Can't come soon enough!

Currently suffering with the worst trapped wind. Friday nights have never been so glamorous!

That's organised LastOne.

12-week scans:
Brindler - Wednesday 2nd September
Carrot- Thursday 3rd
LOD- Monday 7th
Rooibos- Tuesday 8th
Thursday- Wed 9th

20 week scans
mayflower 15th September
huffle5th October
LCR- TBC (EDD 1 March)
Smirking- TBC

We've got an action packed couple of weeks coming up! Fx for healthy happy scans everyone.

Morning

Yesterday went really well, baby is fine and measuring 12+5 so im due on the 7th March 2016!

My 20 weeks scan is on the 23rd of October!

Relieved everything is going well but still exhausted, cannot wait to be back to my usual energetic self!

That's great Smirking.

Ah the tiredness. I still haven't shifted it

Yay for happy scan smirking - fancy showing us??

I think we're going to tell our families this weekend, both our sisters are visiting for the BH weekend, and it seems a bit silly to tell them over the phone in a couple if weeks when they're here now!

So expect me coming in tomorrow to tell you what weird inappropriate thing my mum said in response

Good luck Thursday. Hope it's better than the 'not another mistake' comment from my grandmother.

Ha my grandmother tutted at me!

Here is the pic, not great and looks a bit alien like!

We told DHs family at lunch, they were all very happy for us - DS was being the kind of toddler that makes you not want another at the time

smirking it's a lovely picture - it looks like it's got a proper profile, hair and all already!

Smirking. That's a brilliant scan.

Lovely scan Smirking!

Very much looking forward to hearing what your Mum says Thursday!

The bloat has really set in this weekend. I look huge

Sorry I'm back after a week away in the outer hebrides. I'm pretty late on the scan front - not til the 16th which I estimate puts me at 13 weeks then but last time they moved me forwards by 2 weeks after the scan.

Hi Sunny.
Did you have a nice time?

Just sat down with my crumpets, took one bite and had to run to the loo to be sick. Felt absolute fine after and carried on with my breakfast! Most strange! I thought morning sickness was supposed to stop at 12 weeks not start! First time I've been sick and was 12 weeks yesterday!

Oh no Brindler! What a disaster! Lovely buttered carbs are about the only thing that stops me feeling sick, I hope this is a one off for you!

All grandparents and aunties informed now - poor little bean, they were all distinctly underwhelmed! I don't actually mind, they were rather over involved with DS.

Anyone told their toddler yet? Any tips on how to go about it?

Oh and welcome back Sunny! Was it sunny? That's about as far away from me as it's possible to get!

Yes it was sunny but also so windy you had to stand at a slight angle for fear of falling over. Perfectly normal for the outer Hebrides though!

I'm currently struggling with what appears to be a trapped nerve in my back. According to the NHS website its nothing to do with pregnancy but may become worse as I get fatter. Might make an appointment with the GP anyway as I can't imagine it being much fun when I'm hauling the full weight around with me.

Not told the toddler yet - was wondering when the best time to do it is?

I'm planning on telling mine after my scan just to put her out of her misery after asking for a sibling for so long! But dreading the inevitable 'is the baby here yet? Is the baby here yet?' on repeat every day until March!!

Can I join please? I'm due Mar 26th although I suspect I'll be late (again)! Have one ds (nearly 2). Scan booked for 9th Sept.

Feeling a bit nervous as had a mmc before this one. Have a bit of nausea and I'm very tired and grumpy (although that could be teething toddler related).

Hope everyone is doing ok? Is definitely different second time around.

Really sorry it hasn't worked out for you this time Rae
