alb been thinking of you today hope you got some answers and a plan. Congrats really the scan ginger but annoying you have to go back, the waiting is not easy! My scan is tomorrow. Feeling fairly positive at the moment, being falsely reassured by my expanding waist line!

SayItIsntSo1 · 03/03/2017 06:17

Good luck for your scan today Grain!

Hope you both got some answers yesterday Effy and Alb.

Effy1990 · 03/03/2017 06:44

After being scanned again the babys head is just on the small side, so am being scanned again in 4 weeks just to make sure growth is staying on the same percentile. But the consultant doesn't think there is anything wrong.

INeedNewShoes · 03/03/2017 07:12

Effy - what a relief for you. I'm pleased to hear that the consultant is happy that all is OK.

Gingerbreadmam · 03/03/2017 07:15

good luck today grain dont think u will be needing it tho sure everything is fab.

i had loads of dreams night before mine and nothing bad happened in them so that strangely reassured me.

effy so glad you got good news had been thinking about u. be nice seeing baby a few more times.

alb youre in my thoughts.

INeedNewShoes · 03/03/2017 07:17

Thanks for the responses to my antenatal class question. I'm booked on a one-off NHS session called 'Active birth' next week so hopefully that one will cover more practical tips.

I spoke to the lady who runs the local Daisy Birthing classes yesterday and she has offered to do a one-off workshop with me as I can't sign up to the set of six evening classes due to other commitments. I'm pondering this. I'd love to do the workshop and I don't question the value for money but my financial situation is rubbish and I really need to not be spending lots of money at this stage.

purpleviolet1 · 03/03/2017 07:53

Good luck today grain !

Really happy for you effy, hopefully it will all stay on track and I've heard of babies having growth spurts and totally catching up aswell.

Ginger least you will get to see baby again

36 weeks today and last day at work. My pelvis/hips have been so sore overnight.

SayItIsntSo1 · 03/03/2017 08:24

That's good news Effy.

How exciting Purple! Hope the days is as long/short as you want it to be.

I am feeling more positive after our scan this week. I'm just reigning myself back in until we get the harmony results and have our 12 week scan on the 16th. We're then going to my parents for a long weekend and looking forward to chilling out, but not the long drive there.

I've had horrible back ache the last few days, like I've pulled something. Could that still just be stretching and things moving around? I can also sometimes feel it around one hip/side of pelvis when I move around.

I woke at 5 this morning as I do every chuffin morning for a pee! and couldn't get back to sleep. DH brought me a cuppa at 6.30 and I laid in bed with the curtains open until 7.30 when DD woke up. Bliss! It still doesn't feel like I've had quite enough sleep even though I was out like a light by 9.30

INeedNewShoes · 03/03/2017 09:10

Say - it's probably worth mentioning the hip/pelvis discomfort to your midwife in case it's the start of SPD?

I have just noticed that the skin around my belly button has turned yellow. Please can someone tell me this is normal!? (30 weeks)

Smurf123 · 03/03/2017 10:13

We just been. For another scan this morning. Measuring at 6w6d which is about right aS we were told 6 weeks last week. But midwife says it isn't looking good for us. We still have a heartbeat but she says it has slowed down a lot from last week. Going back on Monday. Don't really know what to think or do right now...

oliversmummy26 · 03/03/2017 10:27

Oh smurf I'm sorry you've not had great news...and now the weekend to wait and think of nothing else. Are you able to busy yourself at all to make the days go faster? Hopefully baby was just having a funny 5 minutes and will be fine on Monday, a heartbeat is still a heartbeat and just remember that today your are most definitely pregnant! Will be thinking of you over the weekend

littlepooch · 03/03/2017 10:55

smurf I am so sorry that things weren't as positive as you'd have liked. Fingers crossed for you. I'd say a heartbeat is surely a good sign but I know it will be a worrying few days for you. grain good luck for today! effy I'm so pleased to read your update! purple enjoy your last day! alb I've been thinking of you, hoping you are OK.

littlepooch · 03/03/2017 10:58

Sorry about the lack of paragraphs in my last post - I'm posting from the app and it doesn't let me put any in. I forgot to add that I chased up my tests and I've come back low risk which is great. They took a bit longer because apparently they sent them off for further testing for various reasons. Feeling a bit nervous now as I know DH would like to start telling people now.

purpleviolet1 · 03/03/2017 11:14

Oh smurf I'm sorry to hear your news. It will be a worrying few days. Have you got another scan booked in? It really is very tough.

Little pooch great news about your results. It really is one stress after the next isn't it. How far along are you now? Is this your first? Can understand your dh wanting to share the news but at the same time it can feel like a scary prospect.

I'm 36 weeks today and still don't want to be shouting it from the rooftops.

SayItIsntSo1 · 03/03/2017 11:34

Oh Smurf. I'm sorry it wasn't more positive. Monday isn't too far away to wait. I'll be keeping everything crossed for you that Monday brings good news.

Good news about the results Little. I can understand why you're still reticent to tell people.

INeed I hope it's not but know it could be the start of something. I thought spd happened later and not seeing my midwife until 16 weeks now. I found it quite unsettling but it had started before I went for my scan on Wednesday so I figured if anything was really wrong she would have spotted it then. Still can't help worrying- roll on the next two weeks!

Smurf123 · 03/03/2017 12:39

I'm currently at work.. I'm a teacher in a special needs primary school. But needless to say my classroom assistants knew the minute I came in the door something was wrong and I'm trying hard not to cry... At very small things like one child seeing a friend from his old school... I hope the weekend will go fast enough I really don't know what to expect I don't know if I should have pushed for an internal scan to see if it could have given a better picture or would the stress of sitting in the waiting room and not having had breakfast yet have made a difference to the heart rate. She didn't tell us what it was just that from last week it was a lot slower looking. It took her a long time to say anything to us when she was looking at the scan. I so wanted everything to be OK this time around. The scan today was supposed to be a reassurance scan after having seen the hb last week. I'm trying to be positive but finding it very difficult atm.

oliversmummy26 · 03/03/2017 12:42

littlepooch that's great news, I know what you mean about feeling nervous about telling people still though, I was exactly the same yesterday. I wanted to shout it from the rooftops but felt a little shy about actually telling people! Anyway, word is getting out now, and everyone has been so pleased for us which is really lovely

Gingerbreadmam · 03/03/2017 12:55

smurf just remember its not.over until its over. i am keeping everything crossed for you.

grainmum · 03/03/2017 13:52

smurf that is so hard for you. Try to plan some nice distractions over the weekend. I doubt an internal scan would have given any further information. Take good care of yourself and hope you are being well supported in RL xx

Smurf123 · 03/03/2017 13:59

Thank you for your messages I'm going to try and stay as positive as I can.. I think a movie and duvet weekend is called for.

Alb1 · 03/03/2017 17:08

smurf sorry you didn't have a great scan, il be keeping my fingers crossed for you over the weekend.

It didn't go as badly as it could have yesterday, the baby has a heart problem but they think they can control it with medication, once it's under control il have to take the medication for the rest of the pregnancy and she might need it once she's born too, it could be quite severe or it could just go away, we just have to wait and see. But it's a condition that they've seen before and is treatable so there's hope! I go back on Monday to see if the medication is working. They also said its not the same thing as last time, and that its just bad luck that we've got a baby with a heart problem after having a stillbirth due to a seperate heart problem last time, not sure I believe that though, it's like lightening striking twice.

littlepooch great news

ImGonnaSingTheDoomSongNow · 03/03/2017 17:12

Oh smurf that must have been so distressing to hear. Massive fingers crossed for you that it's just a little blip and baby will be back on track at next scan. Sending hugs.

effy glad to hear your news was good.

say I had terrible back/hip/pelvis pain between 8-10 weeks. It was awful and got progressively worse until it just suddenly cleared up. I was worried it was the start of spd but thought it was too early. Similarly it felt like I had maybe pulled something but hadn't actually done anything. It was a sort of radiating pain from the rear pelvis bone and made me really stiff and would twinge horribly if I moved in certian ways.

I just got back from seeing dr and it turns out I have a "mild" bladder prolapse! she said there is nothing to do about it at the moment and it might get better after baby is born as I won't have the pressure but I am freaking out that it's only going to get worse and giving birth will make everything fall out. I'm only 17+6. Feel a little bit like crying.

At least it is something they can treat then alb and hopefully it will be at the very mild end. It must be so scary for you after the stillbirth.

knorrig · 03/03/2017 17:43

Oh Alb I'm glad it wasn't as bad as you thought and like Doom says it's something they can treat and probably good they've found it now and can prepare the right treatment. Hope you're okay, must be so tough after what you went through before too.

Smurf thinking of you too, must have been really difficult, I hope it was just something else that lead to it being slower today and everything is good again next time.

24 weeks tomorrow which I find hard to believe sometimes. I've still only told key people at work too - have got away with it by wearing black a lot I think. I just still feel nervous about it but also it's hard to tell people unless it comes up in convo - I'm not going to walk up to people and announce it. Hard to hide the bump though now so it will be obvious soon!

knorrig · 03/03/2017 17:43

New Shoes No idea re the yellowing skin, have you been able to find anything out?
