GOOD LUCK for tomorrow Yogi Bear !!!!

'ing that we will both be posting some good news !

Are you going to find out the gender or keep it a surprise???

[Yogi Bear]

Hi ladies

Just a quickie for me...happy to report all went well today, bub looking good and measurements on track...no unpleasant surprises...so another huge sigh of relief!! She asked if we wanted to know sex and we were sooooooo tempted but NO we still want to keep it a surprise...but i'm still thinking boy As long as our precious miracle arrives safe and sound thats all that matters

Coral, how did you go today...thinking of you xxx

Have a great weekend everyone...TGIF..Whoohooooo

Yogi

Hey Yogibear,

Whoo hoo!!!!!! for a great scan! Must be such a relief after your earlier scare with the scan . You and DH did so, so well to keep the sex a surprise.... I don't think I will be able to help myself, he, he! I think it will be the best surprise ever when you give birth though... wish I had of done it for DS but really want to know for this one as we have decided to only have 2 kiddies... really hoping for a DD but as you say as long as bubs if healthy that is all that really matters.


My scan went really well today too ! Bubs was measuring exact for dates and we were classed as low risk for everything. An interesting fact... they calculated my risk at the age they collected my eggs so risk was done at 31 years instead of the 33 I am now .

We tried to con the ultrasound tech lady into giving us a hint as to the sex but she wasn't giving anything up stayed sitting on the fence. According to the nub theory (thanks Baby Dream Time) Little Bean is looking like a DD but then DH and I though we saw a little 'you know what' as well so maybe another DS??? So still 50/50 !


MHB - Hope all went well for you and you are enjoying your 1st precious days with your little one !

to everyone else and I second TGIF Yogibear!!!!!!

[Me+him+bub]

STILL NO BABY!!!!
well back at home, had the induction and it only got me to 2cm and I didnt want them to break my waters then end up with a c section middle of the night, so going back on monday 7am if nothing has happened by then for AROM at 42 weeks, having contractions this morning and one gush of fluid so fingers crossed, so pleased I am waiting a little longer

[kass]

mhb - hope things are happening now

Coral and yogi - congrats on your scans So good to hear that everything is going well

I had another scan yesterday since bubs is looking small - no obvious issues thankfully Just a bit littler than average.

[Saffy]

just sneaking in to say WOOHOO to Yogi for a great 20 wk scan and best wishes for the next 20 weeks! xxxx sneaking out again....

Hi ladies. I thought I might tentatively join here. Very early days, but a nice strong line on the FRER yesterday has me hopeful. Seeing the GP tomorrow to request b/w and a dating scan.

Melissa, congrats on the great beta result!

[Loops12]

Hi Ladies
Sorry Ive been MIA again - really busy at work.

mhb ~ hope things are happening now, very EXCITED for you!!

Coral and yogi ~ congrats on your scans So good to hear that everything is going well!

MelissaI and Juniper ~ congratulations hope you are both in here for a long time!!

Hi to everyone else and hope you are all well

AFM ~ Had some freak outs about different pains and things but I reckon its all supposed to be normal and I'm prone to headaches and backaches anyway. Also threw up this morning - its only the second time Ive done it but I'm now nearly 16 weeks.

[JBM]

Just a quick one via my phone as we have no net ATM
Me him bub had her baby boy this morn finally.....
He was 4.4 kg and 53 cm long so a nice size baby
His name is Marcus Samuel

And she got the vbac too !!!! Yippee

I have put a birth announcement if you wanna send congrats

Sorry this is a bit lame but not used to doing net on stupid phone
Just imagine my jumping for joy smilies ok :-)

Yeah

[Coral73]

Hi Ladies,

JBM – I hope you have settled into a nice routine and that baby Hunter is a dream sleeper! I was lucky with DS and he was hardly ever awake during the 1st few months, however, fed consistently every 3hrs.

Joy – So good to hear from you and I have sent you a PM :hugs:.

Loops12 – Totally understand about the MIA… I think everyone is in the same boat. Such a busy time of year and it takes awhile before things settle down to routine again. March is so not far away – yay! It is always February before you know it . I am planning on finishing up at the end of April so an extra month for me .

I can unfortunately relate to the financial strain and am hoping everything will sort it self out in time. Just borrowed some money form my Sister & Brother-in-law (they are fantastic and are like our own personal bank minus the interest fees!) to purchase some furniture for DS so we can move his nursery stuff into the spare room in preparation for Little Bean .

I will keep my that your placenta rises in the coming weeks… I have never experienced it but have heard that most women’s end up rising and it does not become an issue. Are you having scans to monitor the position in the coming weeks?

So happy to hear that bubs is doing beautifully – yay!


Meredith – Oh, you poor thing . I can’t imagine how tuff a time you must be having a the moment…. I would be beside myself so please vent anytime you need .

I am so, so happy to read that bubs is measuring correct for dates and that you heard a lovely strong heartbeat ! Such a huge relief for you but I can understand that it would be hard to relax with the bleeding still going on . If it is any consolation, my Sister had several bleeds early on and all was fine and she delivered a beautiful healthy baby boy.

Thinking of you and praying that the bleeding stops so that you can get some peace of mind, xoxo


Maruschke – Sorry to hear you are also going through stressful times . Sounds like the morning sickness is really affecting you and I hope that the Maxalon is doing the trick! Working and morning sickness is not a good combination!

I cramped allot during my 1st pregnancy so hopefully it is growing pains you are experiencing although I remember freaking out about them too… . I’ll also for good results for you at your scan next Tuesday. Hoping that time goes quick for you until then.

Yogi Bear, Teirae, MelissaI, Nikki, Lise, jacklicky & Bengal – How are you ladies? I am hoping no news is good news and you are all off enjoying the festive season!

Hi to anyone else I may have missed :hi:.



AFM – All is going really with us – yay! We had our 19w scan yesterday and I am so, so excited to be able to officially announce that we are expecting a beautiful healthy baby GIRL !!!!

I am still pinching myself at how lucky I am to be expecting a DD as I was fully expecting to see another unmistakable little you know what on the screen, he, he! When the tech showed us the important bits she asked if we could see anything and we said ‘no’ and it was at that moment that I started to cry! We went straight to Target after the scan and DH and I each picked out something pink to buy DD… I think it hit DH then as he started to cry in Target! I am just so, so happy!!!!
