JBM, I didn't have my scan until 20 weeks but mostly because I knew that unless there was a problem I wouldn't get another scan so I wanted to have it a bit later so that it wouldn't be as long a gap between it and the birth and also because I really, really wanted to know the gender of the baby so the later the scan was done the better chance they'd be able to give me a definate answer... though they still refuse to say definately or even give a percentage chance... the best I got was when I had to go back for a scan at 30 weeks and they said "probably a girl".
I can still feel bub moving around alot which seems strange as by this stage with my daughter I couldn't feel her move because the space was so tight. The student midwife always comments on how tight my belly is but it doesn't feel it to me (well not like it did with my daughter). My belly button hasn't popped out like it did with her... it's basically flat now instead of being an innie!
I'm still no closer to choosing a name and that does worry me a bit. Part of me wonders if the reason I am having so much trouble making up a name is because the baby is really a boy and I'm trying to make up a girls name!
Mindhugs, goodluck for next Wed. I hope you can be awake for the C-section and that everything goes well. It's amazing how accupuncture can work in so many ways isn't it. Glad you are having success with it. I used it on my last cycle of IVF (the only successful one) but haven't had it since.
Kaybee, Thanks for popping in. It would be strange to look at your son and think he's only just meant to be arriving now! How come your original IVF date and your other due date are so different from each other?
AFM: I'm feeling really fat, tired and struggling to do alot. My parents left on Tuesday and won't be back until next Monday so I'm taking a bit of a break from the reno's. I did sort through a heap of paperwork yesterday (and shredded a ton) as I want to get my bedroom in order but I find getting up and down from off the floor is really hard now so it is making things a bit more difficult. Will be nice though when I can have an organised room with space for the baby. Have had to put alot of stuff into storage though as there is no room for it (tons of books from my grandparents as I no longer have room for the bookcase in my bedroom etc).
