Sorry posted that before I finished
Congrats to @lionsmum as well I reckon you're both having girls 💕💕💕

We seem to have a lot of boy predictions can't wait to see if they are true.
I really want to know my 2 are 😍

lionsmum · 21/05/2020 13:21

Thank you so much ladies! So many boy guesses, it would be magical to have another boy, but health is all I wish for🌟

@ChampooPapi I have booked a private scan for 16 weeks (on Father's Day actually) to find out what we're having, so looking forward to it, will be delighted either way. I also have a scan at around 16 weeks with the NHS but I don't think they would tell you sex until the 20 week scan

@skinnyhotchoc beautiful scan, I'm going to guess baby boy for you too!

skinnyhotchoc · 21/05/2020 13:38

Thanks ladies. I'm now scrutinising the videos they sent me looking for something wrong ( as if I'd know!)
I'm pretty much neutral about what we have. I have one dd and can't picture myself with a boy though!

RunnerGirl123 · 21/05/2020 13:53

Congrats on today's scans @lionsmum and @skinnyhotchoc. Lovely pics! It's all starting to feel very real now seeing all these scan pics.

At times, these last 8 weeks have felt like they've dragged but looking back I can't believe it's been 8 weeks lol!! I have a feeling the next few weeks will go even quicker though!

RunnerGirl123 · 21/05/2020 13:54

I mean the 8 weeks since we found out (if that's not clear lol) !!

ChampooPapi · 21/05/2020 13:56

@skinnyhotchoc gorgeous little girl if say you have there 🌈🥰. Wonderful update, except the blood letting obviously! Good effort of getting them to do it, it'll make the results so much faster

@onlyreadingneverposting8 oh Lord the nurosis and the worry does creep back in that's for sure. But I know I need a few months break from those scan build ups, I found they turned me inside out and my brain totally turned against me on every level. The worry will never cease completely but it gets so much more manageable and more importantly logical! When the baby is actually born.

I got my screening results back for the twins which were 1/6000 and 1/1200 for down syndrome and 1/20,000 for the other two

Second twins one worried me, I mean why! I've had the nipt/harmony which has tested their actual dna, and the results were 1/10,000. But still the mind is evil.

Quick turn around on the results though as only had them Monday. Really impressed with torbay hospital, and they were fab with my first baby all those 10 years ago. My second was born at southmead in Bristol, because their maternity lead unit Cosham was closed due to all that snow around very early March 2018. They were fine too, but all very fast and hadn't been there for any pre labour tests or midwife appointments except the scans leading up to the birth.

I was told not to have the screening because I'd had the harmony, that's why I updated Monday to let everyone know you still needed it as this advise from my midwife was incorrect. Yes the 3 tri screenings should be disregarded, but the hgc and pap A are not tested at many Harmony tests so I obviously needed those and they do them all at once with the 3 abnormalities.

Hi guys!

Been lurking round here for a while but finally had my dating scan today! Measuring 12+5 with due date 28th November 💖

I was at the hospital hours!! So much waiting around as had an appointment with the midwife and booking in bloods. Bloods was such a drama, looks like I've terrible veins 2 midwifes, 4 attempts and then sent off to phlebotomy for them to have a go instead Grin luckily they managed to get some!

Scan pic attached any boy/girl guesses welcome!

Excited for this journey with you all!
Xx

@lab19 Hello! Awh what a nightmare !! lovely scan pic tho congratulations - I think girl !! x

Babyhope98 · 21/05/2020 15:28

@lab19 congratulations 😊 we have the same due date, my guess is girl x

EithneBlue · 21/05/2020 15:31

Today my first maternity bra arrived. I am revelling in extreme comfort: it's such a pleasing feeling. I've also managed to do a complete overhaul on my wardrobe now: all I need is another bra and a black t-shirt. Everything in there will fit for a few months, if not all the way through. Everything else is headed for the loft.

@ChampooPapi - I've been very impressed with Southmead's speed in turning around my test results (and they were super organised on the day of my appointment) :-)

peachypetite · 21/05/2020 15:40

@Eithne you are so organised! I desperately need to have a massive sort out. I haven’t ordered any bras yet, where did you get it from?

skinnyhotchoc · 21/05/2020 15:45

@lab19 you sound like me. I always get sent to phlebotomist at the hospital as well. Always end up black and blue. I'm guessing girl!

nearlyamummyof3 · 21/05/2020 15:58

@ChampooPapi all I can think of is girls names it's so weird!
I would obviously be happy with either as long as healthy but do worry about my son being bit left out if it's 2 girls. But hopefully as they will be so similar in age they'll all get along either way! 🥰💕💙

I'm hoping the regulations change and we can my bf can come to the private gender scan would love us to find out at the same time 💕💙

EithneBlue · 21/05/2020 16:08

@Peachypetite Haha, it might be because I'm procrastinating on making revision resources for next year's year 11 ;) Also my wardrobe needed a declutter anyway!

I got mine from here www.jojomamanbebe.co.uk/maternity-clothes/maternity-bras.html the one I got was the Emma-Jane Zara, but there's loads of good ones there. I'll probably just get another of the same TBH my boobs are now an E Cup, but there's definitely still stretch in the bra without it being too big :)

lab19 · 21/05/2020 16:29

@skinnyhotchoc @peachypetite @Babyhope98 wow 3 girls guesses!

Yep my hands are starting to bruise up already! Shock

CatandKitten · 21/05/2020 16:40

@Amymone sending you love and best wishes, strength and hope x Thank you for having the grace and strength to share with us xxxx

Oldestchild90s · 21/05/2020 16:43

@Amymone so sorry to hear about your situation. Hope all goes well for you 🤞🏻

Hi ladies, was just passing through.. i'm due in August but was interested in your stories so had a nosey hope you don't mind!

Congrats to all! ❤️

CatandKitten · 21/05/2020 16:44

@lab19 @lionsmum @skinnyhotchoc congratulations :D Can you tell if you are having a boy or girl this early on? Do share your secrets! I am convinced we are having a boy; don't know why; just a feeling. Have a name in mind no question.... girls names however are another issue entirely! @Lab19 they couldn't get blood from one arm so had to do the other too for me the other day.... and I had an anti D injection too...I've never had so many needles in a day! Guessing this is something you get used to in pregnancy?! x

skinnyhotchoc · 21/05/2020 17:17

@CatandKitten there's a couple of theories like looking at the nub and skull shape on scan that can help you guess but it is just a guess. The only definite way to tell this early is a dna blood test which I've opted for as part of my NIPT. Other than that you can tell on a scan at 16 weeks

Birry · 21/05/2020 17:29
