Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Thread 8

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

Here comes the thread, you know what to do!

I'm finally back! Introducing BabyJupes all looking very good. No concerns at all, very wriggley and very gorgeous. Due to positioning couldn't do the nuchal fold measurement but will have quadruple test in couple of weeks. Measuring further along at 12+5 so official due date of 19th November. So relieved and happy, thank you for all the support xx ps took me ages as my bladder wasn't full enough. Had to have transvaginal scan in the end which was fine.

Beautiful scan picture jupiter glad everything looked good

Yay! So happy jupiter, really pleased everything was okay :) you're 5 days ahead of me now! baby jupes looks beautiful! Just perfect! :)

Ahhh Jupiter so cute!!!!

No more spotting here as far as I can tell. Just showered post poolside nap in the sun which was bliss. I've got to do an hour's work then heading to find some dinner and research what to do in Barcelona tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a lovely evening x

I'm confused, surely if you know when you ovulated they can't just change the dates?

Gorgeous Jupiter! So glad it all went well! :D

Amazing Jupiter, so happy for you!

Thanks guys :) So happy and so in love.

grumpy that's what I thought! It's a bit confusing. Maybe mummy can shed some light on that? I definitely wasn't 4 days out with my ovulation date.. hmm.

Also mummy is the quadruple test still pretty accurate? But disappointed they couldn't do it but also not end of the world. Nothing can take away the joy of seeing our little one squiggling around on the screen.

My new date is 4 days off from when I know we conceived too! grumpy looks amazing!!

Here's little Wilde boy! 9+2. Looking forward to the next one at the end of the month!

Yours is brilliant Jupiter. Curious about the dates though!

At both of my early scans the baby measured one day ahead. Which is possible if I ovulated earlier than I thought within the 24 hour period...

parsnips glad you've arrived safely. Hope some family time will help.

grumpy sorry about your sister's friend. Hope the spotting stops, im sure it's nothing to worry about.

jupiter great scan! Waves to baby jupes

Hello to little wilde boy too!

I'm so glad it's Friday. Really looking forward to the weekend. Have a girly catch up planned and a wedding cupcake tasting - I'm baking 100 cupcakes for a friend's wedding in July. Eek!
Anyone got any exciting plans?

They use Nuchal scan for EDD as babies are more or less the same size at that gestation therefore relatively accurate for dates. With using ovulation etc, you can never pin point the date and time the sperm hit the egg, the blastocyst implanted etc. They still aren't 100% but closest you can get... not that babies come on due dates, 5% of babies come on their EDD, remember it's normal to be born between 37-42weeks 🙂

No nap today and I'm doubtful about a break on my night tonight due to lack of senior staff to cover me 😟

Well done mummy 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 excellent explanation! I suppose the EDD means absolutely nothing really! And even for my work, they use the EWD so I have to plan a week ahead anyway as my EDD falls on a few Friday have to use the Monday for work :)

Also seven could be a sign!! Bring on next week testing!!

Argggh Jupiter soooooo cute! I'm calling it now.. you're having a boy xx
They look like so big on the scans dont they? How big is it really?

wilde I love the little wild legs on yours! So sweet!

I'm an estimated 8do...pretending that the tww isn't happening, ignoring "symptoms"and getting on with life...ha! Not testing until AF is Deffo late...plus I've misplaced my new ic tests...... Hmmmm

I'd always wondered why they always change people's dates when they knew when ov was, so good having mummy here...she is so wise 😂

Thanks mummy that’s a really clear and helpful explanation :)

Ohh Wilde look at those lovely little legs. What a gorgeous picture.

Enjoy the cupcake baking otters, sounds really fun.

Very excited for you seven, really hope it’s your month. Lots of crossed fingers here for you!

Aw Wilde, congratulations!

It's great that we have mummy here to give us all advice and reassurance!

That's very kind of you otters, if you have any cupcakes spare tomorrow feel free to send them my way!

I'm not doing anything this weekend - can't wait!

Thanks mummy for the helpful explanation! It's exactly 2 weeks till my scan now - I can't wait. I think Hb has hers on the Monday 22 and I've got mine on Friday 26 May. No more spotting thankfully.

Seven eeek when is AF due??

Eeeeeeeeeee Jupiter SO pleased for you & DH! What a beaut! Sounds like the lesson is... drink for England!!

Rubbish about the no nap mummy Hope the shift goes super quick & you can hibernate for the day!

JB my fanny is still recovering! My friend felt so bad she was hurting me (cos I'm preggo) i was like YOU NEVER NORMALLY CARE YOU SADIST!

oooooh seven not much longer to go now at all! Are you our next tester?

otters 100 cupcakes??? You must be one talented lady!

I'm hoping to have a day or two knocked off & have a Nov due date (not that that means anything!) but would be nice to have some separation from the month of Christmas!

Argh the pink spotting has started again .. so stressful going to bed now

Grumpy how stressful for you. Hope it calms down over night.. try and sleep.

seven I think boy too! Funny isn't it.. little jupes is around 6.5cm :)

Aww look at baby Jupes. Does it all feel real now Jupiter?

Do you know you are having a boy wilde or are you guessing from your scans?

Sorry your still spotting grumpy

Ooft your poor fanny Hb 😂

otters you have been keeping your baking skills quiet. You must be good to do cupcakes for a wedding. I agree with penguin if you need any extras you know where to send them.

Hope night shift goes quickly mummy

DH and I are all cosy in our cottage by the sea. Planning on quite a bit of walking and also quite a lot of eating 😂 over the weekend!

Been awake since 1.50! Bad dream and couldn't drop off since.

DD with her dad and DP away so was a great chance to get some much needed rest. Damn pregnancy hormones!

Full day of work ahead, but luckily from home, so may be able to snooze this afternoon...

Well we're on our way to Devon! Will be in and out of signal for the next week but will check in when i can :) Have a lovely week everyone.

grumpy how are you this morning? Has the spotting eased off? Thinking of you.

JB oh yes it's finally starting to feel more real..ish! Have a gorgeous time in your cottage by the sea. We can't wait to arrive at ours. Ditto on the eating and walking.

Wilde sorry you had a bad night. Hope you can grab a snooze later x

Up and working...feel ok as I know it's all worth it!
