February 2018 Babies #2

[RainyDayBear]

New thread time ladies!

I also have the pregnancy pillow out Pretzel!

Loxy - with DS I only came to the realisation that I knew no lullabies after he was born! I used an app called 'baby karaoke'. It is Australian so not sure if it is avail on itunes in UK but I loved it.

Not had full blown insomnia but I find that even with my full body pillow to cuddle I can't stay on one side for very long before I have to turn over, which is much more of a hassle now than it used to be with giant pillows and tender boobs all over the place. No idea what I'm gonna do when I have a proper big belly.

Hello Ladies, glad to hear your all doing well, aside from the dreaded nausea n sickness! I found over the last few days my bloat has significantly reduced im now 11+5, when did you all notice your bloating subsided? Im despo to see my lil bump forming soon

I think I'm out. Had a bleed last night and again this morning. Nothing all day but having another bleed now. Bright red blood. Like a light period. Have a scan tomorrow at epac but I'm pretty certain it's all over for me

tobe luckily I never suffered with a huge amount of bloating. How many weeks are you now? I have taken a pic every week since week 11+5 I am now 15+5 and I definitely can see my stomach getting bigger especially the last two weeks. I will post a couple of pics one from 11+5 and one I too today

Oh Troika, I'm so sorry . I really hope that's not the case. Good luck tomorrow x x x

2 weeks behind you Emwahs (13+3) and significantly bumpier! I'm as big as I was at around 18-20 weeks last time.

Sending good vibes your way Troika - hopefully it's just an SCH or similar!

I'm just catching up on here. I have had my mum, sister and two nieces to stay which was wonderful but FULL ON. After DD and I had dropped them off at the airport yesterday, I managed a supermarket shop and then we came home and didn't leave again. I love having guests but they want to be out and about all day which is tiring!

Troika, I hope it is a SCH or similar for you. I had bright red blood earlier in this pregnancy and with my daughter and all was well.

Pretzel, I'm sorry about the problems with adding you to the Facebook group. I have just messaged you again.

Oh and if anyone else wants to join the Facebook group, please let me know.

Hi all, hope it's okay if I join this group later - I had my dating scan yesterday and told I'm due on 16th February (originally thought I was due on 21st Feb).

Baby was asleep during the scan, so no waves for me, but it was such a relief to see their heart beating away. It went in a bit of a blur after that.

I had the combined test yesterday too - my NT measurement was 2.7mm and I've been a bit worried since that it's maybe a bit high? Did anyone else have a similar measurement? Should I be worried?

I really am struggling to relax and enjoy my pregnancy at the moment - the scan was wonderful, but within an hour I was in floods of tears dreading a bad result in the NT.

DH is being very supportive but I still feel very lonely at the moment - I want to be sharing my news with everyone, but fear is holding me back and I'm worried this feeling will never pass,

Hope this is okay to post xx

f1sher My NT measurement was 2.9 but that combined with my blood tests etc still came back as low risk (1 in 890). I am not going to have the Harmony test but you could always do that for piece of mind?

2.7 is still within the normal range xx

Troika so sorry, thinking of you. Fingers crossed xxx

Emwa, thank you for sharing your bump pics, you look lovely and deff can see your bump coming on nicely. X

Thinking of you Troika, hoping it's better news than expected.

Hey f1sher! Congrats on the scan!

Bump coming along nicely Emwahs! Mine I swear is still just bloating...

Struggling today. Worked full days all week plus Tues night and last night, plus have a 2.5 hour team meeting this evening and I can't keep my eyes open...

@troika so sorry to hear that. Hoping you have good news today.

@f1sher we are due date buddies! Although I was 11 days early with my last baby so kind of expecting something to happen closer to the beginning of the month.

Welcome new folks!! Lovely bump emwahs!

Troika - sending much love your way. Hope you get some good news x

I hope you get good news troika. What time is your scan? X

Thank you for the welcome and congrats everyone 😊

@Troika - thinking of you, I hope the scan went well

@DoTheFandango - that's very reassuring; thank you! DH and I have agreed we will do the Harmony if we're still worried when the bloods come back, but fingers crossed it won't be necessary. I'm feeling less anxious today.

@Sah2241 - hurray for being EDD twins! I'm a bit baffled by 16th Feb tbh, because I can't get the dates to work, but that's the miracle of life I guess 😉

Hello ladies,

Can I please join? I'm 11+2 with first baby due on Feb 28th, so I may well tip in to March!

Hope you're all feeling ok 👌

Troika Hope its good news at the scan, thinking of you

Hello,

Another newbie here
It's lovely to see scans and bumps. Sorry to hear of people going through rough and uncertain times.

I'm 14 weeks, due on 8th Feb. First baby for me and DH Been sick today for the first time in a few weeks... Wasn't expecting it!

Please can I join the FB group? (can I check is it private?) We've told close family but not done a big announcement yet & not sure if/when we will.

Hey Linares and Bubbles! To join the FB group (which is definitely secret), it's Pinkandwhite you need to PM

Welcome Bubbles, we are due the same day! Second baby for me though.

pinkandwhite no worries! Thanks for sorting it out for me :)

troika oh what a worry. Everything crossed that it is nothing bad :(

emwahs lovely bumpies! I've attached my headless one I didn't get a bump at all until 17 weeks first time around.

Hugs f1sher and congrats on the good scan. As others said, 2.7 is normal, did they give you a result combined with your blood test/age?

Welcome linares and bubbles
