Early Oct babies part 4

[Treaclepie19]

Hi all! ❤

@Glitterbug86 they said between 18 and 22 at mine. Normally they do the heart scan on the early side to get a few looks at it.
I'd have dealt with it better if it wasn't for having to see that consultant. I'm already a bit traumatised by everything we had to see him for last time.
Still, I'm sure I'll be OK later.

@Treaclepie19 I can only imagine. Sorry again this didn't turn out to be the day you hoped for. The next scan day will be so much better. Sending you hugs

Thank you ❤ I know I just sound whingy but I don't think I had quite realised just how traumatic I would find it being in the same room with the same consultant hoping for better news.

@Zaalfruit after a combined nine hours of research, he's narrowed it down to two car seats 🤯. It's sweet, I love that he cares so much. I think he's just finally found something he can actually do to help and he's embracing it all. If we can get to the tip (ours hasn't opened yet) he can start sorting the spare room and organising everything / painting etc.

@Treaclepie19 I'm so sorry to hear you didn't have a positive experience and couldn't find out the sex. Is it possible to speak to your midwife and possibly book another scan?

@Treaclepie19 thanks for creating a new post; I've been absent this weekend so I've missed so much.

Hope you're ok, you don't sound whingy at all, I completely get your anxiety and I hope you get positive news at your next scan. Big hugs to you.

So happy for the girls who have found out the sex, congrats! do we know how many blues vs pinks we have up to now on the group?

I'm team blue 💙 xx

Fantastic news @aquablue1123 congratulations. I have a feeling its more boys to girls at the moment as some of us are still waiting to be told the sex.
@Treaclepie19 you are not whinging or whining at all. We are all here to offer you whatever support we can to make this easier for you and if that means letting you vent your frustration or worries then so be it. I can certainly understand your anxiety and like others have said hope the next appointment is more successful than this one. I do think you should talk to your midwife though, for reassurance ofnothing else and push to be checked more if your worried. Your health, mental and physical is just as important as your little ones and you have every right to demand the reassurance you need to help you anxiety.

I know times are hard at the moment with the world being upside down because of tjos virus and with you I feel that those who require maybe more reassuring are not getting it becausethe staff are not thinking for them. Like they would if this virus wasn't on the scene I say this because past experience has told me if your anxious or have high risk in pregnancies you are generally told more. But for some reason this doesn't apply during this time.
We are all here if you need us hun 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
How has everyone else's scan gone today those who have had them xx

Hi!! Just wanted to pop in and say a quick hello! I’m currently pregnant with first baby! I have endometriosis so this baby is a dream for husband and I! I’m due at some point in the first week of Oct :) No idea on gender yet, I keep pondering going for a gender scan now our local private clinic have opened again but hubby isn’t keen. I’ve enjoyed reading all the posts so far xx

Welcome @Dollydaph10 and congrats on your first pregnancy, everyone in this group are supportive they really are fantastic ladies xx

Team blue 😍

Team pink for me!!

Sorry you had a bad experience and a shitty consultant @Treaclepie19 xx

Wahhh! Congrats @roarfeckingroar and @BooMamaBear how exciting!

Hi @DollyDaph10 welcome and congrats!

Hi everyone,

I hope I can join this group again, I joined when it was the first thread then lost you for a while.

Great to read about people's scans and congratulations on all the boys and girls!

I am due on 2 October and have my 20 week scan next Thursday - it's taking so long to come!

Omg so exciting @boomamabear and @roarfuckingroar!! Congratulations ♥️♥️

@NWnature that pram looks super convenient for living in London! I need something light etc.

@DollyDaph10 huge congratulations! And welcome to the group 😊

Just an FYI for those going to get their whooping cough jabs - they bloody hurt!!! Three hours on and my arm feels like it's going to fall off. She said that some women feel the effects of it for weeks! Would recommend getting it in your right arm, that'll force us to sleep on our left side if you're still struggling 😂

@otterbaby I've been moaning about mine too. They do hurt don't they 😩 I'd forgotten how much because I haven't had one for 5 years. Mine is on my left side and although I'll have to sleep on my right im glad to have full use of my right hand as normal 😩
Had mine about 7 hours ago and eeek 😬

@NWnature snap re the pram conundrum, I feel like I'm going to enjoy dp yet itll be me who pushes it most of the time lol! It's time for us to get what we want!!

Welcome back @BecLJ how are you doing sweet?

Welcome to @DollyDaph10

I've had such a manic day literally just sitting down with a cuppa and my lavender oil mister (which I highly recommend!)

Still not much movement here, I'm trying to relax and feel things but just cant, I'm thinking I might have an anterior placenta tbh. Im feeling almost un pregnant other than the belly and boobs, at the moment, no cravings, sleep is ok, and sickness gone. I'm almost enjoying my tea and coffee again! Probably speaking too soon haha!

I love how busy this group is, we must have all conceived during the January blues and when the weather was crap we all just dtd to conserve body heat 😂 going to regret that when we're fat and sweaty in August and September lol

@BecLJ welcome back to the group, it can be hard to keep up if you don’t check regularly, I feel behind after one day!

@DollyDaph10 welcome to the group too, lovely to have you here! If I had a private clinic open I would be so tempted to go too!

@Treaclepie19 I’m so sorry your scan wasn’t as informative as hoped, I am sending you lots of love and hoping your next one is better. I keep telling myself we will find out the sex if we can because I don’t want to be so set on it and then not be able to. Feel free to chat here all you want, it’s not complaining, it’s what the group is for ❤️

I’ve done some research into prams and think we will go for the Uppababy Vista2 - great for all terrain, decent basket and seat size and I’ve read good reviews from Mums on here. We live in the suburbs but my mum has a smallholding so we often go to the countryside too. I still really want to wait and see if shops open again, we will wait until mid August probably before ordering if not.

First day back at work was good thanks but I am feeling tired now and I didn’t drink enough water/have breaks and got a headache. I had a meltdown when I got home as my husband told me to talk quieter on the phone to my mum as he was on a work call and then my Dad’s partner text to say my Dad’s had a difficult 24 hours and I just lost it. My Dad has stage 4 brain cancer but has been doing ok for now on the treatment, it’s just a bit of a reminder for me that he’s not likely to be well forever, which we know deep down is true but it’s easy to forget when he’s having a good day. I know with cancer things can be so up and down during treatment and I need to keep positive, which I have been generally. I Think being over tired has just tipped me over the edge, it’s one of the first times my emotions have got the better of me since being pregnant, I’ve told my husband he should be grateful I haven’t had more meltdowns!

Oooh no, I'd forgotten about the pain of the whooping cough jab. I'm left handed so will go for the right side anyway. Being forced to sleep on the left will be a bonus

Sorry to hear you had a difficult day @LexiM, and sorry to hear about your dad. I kind of forget theres anything else medical going on at the moment apart from pregnancy or Corona virus.

@DollyDaph10 welcome! Everyone here is so helpful and friendly 💜

@Treaclepie19 sorry to hear about your scan. I totally relate to the trauma of being back in the same room with the same consultant as last time where you got bad news. Dont worry about ranting on here...we're all happy to listen and help if we can xxx

@LexiM sounds like a tough day. I hope you feel better this evening. Pregnancy certainly doesnt help lots of situations where emotions are already running high. And I'm sorry about your dad. I lost my father nearly a year ago to cancer. It was somewhat different as it was very sudden, he was diagnosed and passed away 6 weeks later. At the time I often thought as difficult as it was to lose him so quickly, that to cope with it for a long time knowing the final outcome would have been even harder. Sending hugs xxx

Just felt her kicking just As I laid down on our bed for a bit - DH felt to too it's the first time I've felt more than flutters - I forgot how different to wind it feels -it's really faint from outside but I can feel it really well from inside!! Xx

Thanks @Spark27 - I kind of know what you mean I almost forgot too because he was doing so well and safe in a bubble at home. It’s all about coronavirus everywhere!!

@Buzz22 sorry for your loss, cancer is just so tough isn’t it and sadly affects so many people. We know unless there’s a miracle his time is limited but I usually treat each day as a positive and try to not dwell on it but I think it was just too many emotions mixed together. I am feeling better and more level headed now I’ve had a rest and some food. It’s hard when we can’t see him in person either but we FaceTime when we can which I know he enjoys. The NHS have been amazing visiting him at home and keeping him safe.

@BooMamaBear how wonderful! I am so excited for my husband to feel the baby move, bet it’s magical. I am still unsure whether I’ve felt anything or not, I just cannot tell for sure yet.

Wow, that's wonderful @BooMamaBear. Cant wait til mine gets stronger

Hi Everyone! Hope it’s ok for me to join. I’m totally new here, almost didn’t sign up as it took about an hour for me to get a user name that wasn’t already taken!

I’m due mid Oct with my first baby! Very excited as feel like I’ve waited a lifetime to finally be pregnant. Have my scan end of this month and very excited to find out the gender xx
