Due in December 05 - thread 4

[ninah]

Welcome to thomcat, well done to everyone who's been scanned, good luck to those about to be and Bonkerz, may all your dreams be sweet from now on

it is mad how quickly time has gone..iw roked out b4 my scan will be when im 21wks so where has the time gone as we r nearly in july and its beginning og august with ds at this stage i felt very pg but like u dq this time its still surreal despite going through the motions of looking at prams etc.

um, brain in pg mode, no idea whos scan it was. but am hoping they have a great one. glad being (almost)half way made you happy. scares me silly!LOL!

it was starry night

thats exactly it nemo - i am going thro the motions, REALLY want to feel this little guy kicking. hurry up little guy!

yes - half way to the labour ward is a sobering thought!!!

do u think the thing about heartrate indicating sex works...ds was always around 138-146 every midwife check. someone told me higher means a girl and lower is a boy

I have been laying quietly alot just waiting to feel this one moving!!! Really wish it would hurry up and happen!!

sometimes i think i can feel kicks etc like this morning i thought so and when i put doppler where i thought baby was there...however other times i have no idea

Sweet - snap - my 20 week scan booked for the 20 July too!

it seems strange we r only few weeks from 20wk scans beginning....esp since i found out at 3.5 wks so its gone quick

nemo, yes apparently 9 times outa ten the heartbeat is right -however my midwives disagree on quite how -one says its the rate in labour monitoring that shows it, another says its an overall reading of several months worth of readings......personally -as i am a sucker for all old wives tales (being old wife myself) last time it read mostly high and indeed had dd2! this time its usually lower so suspect ds2!

mmm so if this baby is around 146-151 usually then could be a girl?

nope, i'd say boy from that just to confuse everything further

of course it could be a girl -i'd say a 50/50 chance

golden, was it you who was local to me??? Spooky - we could see each other at the hospital!!!

pmsl thanks DQ I actually think its another boy so if so its joshua..lol

Mollie -dd2- was always up in the 150-160's, this little guy is usually 143-152 so i think i had better stop looking up girls names and concentrate on boys!

Sweet - I'm in London - where are you?

Heartbeats - my midwife recons it's about 70% accurate - so I must be having two girls.

north east hampshire

Someone was really close to me - next town.

Was it you DQ???

When do you start to feel movement, from 14 or 16 wks??

minnie everyone is different i felt wiht ds at about 17wks but my friend wasnt feel anything till 21.

Hi guys, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Had the scan this morning and they bought my due date forward (yippee) so am due on Dec 20th and will be 15 weeks tomorrow. Feel like i've been given a week and a half 'free' lol.

The baby was moving like anything and have a couple of good piccies. Told the children who are surprisingly happy (little do they know [evil laugh] )

Does this mean we can start a new thread now?

Hey congrats starrynight! Fab news
Can we start a new thread to celebrate?

BTW its only one! (phew).

And if it makes anyone feel better - apparently if you are super fit and toned like the woman in that picture labour and birth is more difficult. Can't remember why but it gives those of us who do sod all exercise a little light relief. LOL.
