May & June 2022 Munchkins

[YoshiPikachu]

@YoshiPikachu how are you doing? Hope you're feeling a bit better.

Love all the scan pics. 1st boy Sammy!!

Fingers crossed for you @PrettyInInk42, I'm guessing it would be unlikely the results would be wrong though? Fingers crossed.
Sorry for your losses crazy, that's so sad.

I'm 11 weeks now just waiting for my 12 week scan on 23rd Dec, when I'll actually be 13 weeks. Then going to do a Christmas announcement but unsure how to do it. Any ideas?

Xxxx

The last time I had IV’s they gave me Zofranans it’s helped a lot. I haven’t thrown up since I started taking it. Not much is elsenis really going on.

 

[YoshiPikachu]

I got a few things. My daughter had a oneie like this and I was able to find this one for cheap on eBay. The toys are from Esty. And the bag I got from the shelter as a Christmas present. They gave everyone presents and I got a lot of maternity clothes.

 

[Sander]

Those are so nice Yoshi! So glad your medication is working too.

 

[Sander]

Finally feeling some movements today! Just little ones though. For mamas who have had both genders - are boys usually easier to feel? I feel like I felt my boys so strongly from early on - and I had an anterior placenta with 2 of them. This baby I have a posterior placenta but her movements are so small still! I’m sure I’ll be eating those words when she’s kicking the crap out of me in about 10 weeks, lol

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Yoshi - Glad you're feeling better. And those are cute purchases. I wanna start buying stuff, but I need to wait for A) Gender confirmation, and B) After my sprinkle, which a very good friend wants to throw for me. lol

Sander - Can't remember when I started feeling stuff with DS1. I clearly remember seeing a kick on the outside with DS2 at 23 weeks. I believe I had a posterior placenta with him. So far, I've just felt what I can best describe as sporadic tightening in my uterus that I assume is her doing rolls really recently

Babybump - My vote is for Matthew, obviously. lol

AFM, the "party" went well. That's in quotes cuz it was literally just my family and my sister's family (fiance and 2 kids). But it was still nice. We basically just hung out and ate for 6 hours.
Also, my car is being a pain in the butt. I need to get the winter tires put on, but the earliest appt I could get at the dealership was January 8th. It also keeps telling me to change the oil and fill the washer fluid AND one of the headlights burned out a few days ago and I haven't been able to find the exact bulb I need in stock at like 4 different stores. Just gonna try Amazon and hope it gets here ASAP.

DS I felt from very early on DDs was after 20 weeks . So who knows but yay for feeling movements !

 

[Babybump87]

@PrettyInInk42 haha only realised your son was Matthew after you said ! Glad you had a good time with the family .

urgh for the car troubles we recently paid out of £800 for necessary repairs ! Wasn’t happy but what can you do when you need a car !

 

[Babybump87]

Babybump I don't like the online system either! Much prefer the paper notes

So wish they would bring back the paper notes ! Why change it . I feel more comfortable knowing I have all my info to hand rather than relying on a system

MrsT - Take a pic of all your stocking together in a row and get a cheap small stocking and lay it on top of your stocking.

Love this!

Yoshi- cute baby items!
Sander- I didn't feel my first very much throughout most of the pregnancy because of my anterior placenta. I remember feeling first movements around 25 weeks with him. With my second I felt her around 18weeks more consistent around 25-26 weeks. With my 3rd I felt her first around 14 weeks again not consistent movement until between 25-26weeks. With this little one I thought I felt her closer to 11 weeks but not on that. I feel her from time to time but not enough to notice a pattern yet.

 

[YoshiPikachu]

I had this outfit for my son. I’m so happy I was able to find it again! So far I’ve only got things that will work for either gender.

 

[Sander]

Thanks for all the input on the movement! I noticed more movement today so seems like it’ll pick up from now on.

Yoshi that’s a super cute outfit.

Sorry to those with car expenses too. We had to pay $500 for a recent service for ours Good news is we finally ordered a van!! We went with the Kia Carnival mostly because it’s the cheapest van on the market. I like how it looks though, kind of like an SUV. They say it should be here by end of May so we’ll cross our fingers, lol.

Had my midwife appointment today, she said all is looking good and she was able to find the heartbeat right away which is always nice. I’m going to have a consult with the doctor too about tying my tubes when they deliver this baby Bittersweet for sure.

 

[MrsT116]

Sander- it really is bittersweet. My hubby is wanting to book in for a vasectomy after baby arrives. Its all very final but we definitely can't afford any more kids after this one xx

 

[Babybump87]

So annoyed !! Because of covid they are no longer checking the heartbeat at the 16 week appointment which is just crazy and beyond ridiculous !!

I now have to wait until my 20 week scan.

I see my midwife again at 28 weeks which is 11 weeks away which is also ridiculous .

Feel like because of covid we are left to fend for ourselves more and the lack of check ups is worrying . Just because we had more than one baby doesn’t mean anything ! Each pregnancy like we know carries its own risks and every new pregnancy should be treated like the first one !
Sorry rant over

What?? Where are you again? That’s crazy. You’re already in the office - how on earth are you more of a risk if they check the heartbeat? Seriously sometimes I think people throw everything we know about viruses out the window. Maybe you can get a Doppler for yourself if it helps ease your mind.

I’m seriously livid and the midwife knew it . I’m in the UK .

I’ve got a Doppler just need to dig it out for sure going to us it now ! xx

 

[YoshiPikachu]

Wow that’s insane. I was told at mine that they will be cheacking every time I come for an appointment.

I had my first OB appt yesterday. So nice to see my OB again after all this time, I absolutely love her. Anatomy Scan is booked for Jan 12th at 4:30pm at 19w3d. My ob also sent us a referral to see the same cardiac specialist we did with my first. (loved her too). I just got the call from her office and we're booked for the same day a little earlier in the afternoon at 1:30pm. It's going to be a busy day full of scans. Then I see my OB again the following week at 20w2d to get all the results.

I was able to hear the heartbeat yesterday but literally only for 0.3 seconds, then baby ran away and we couldn't find her again. Doc said it hb was right around 150bpm.

I can't believe this! How is listening to hb for 30 seconds adding any more risk to the situation? I'm going to be so mad if my mw says same at my 16 week appointment!! I do have a doppler though and have listened in a few times myself.

I know I couldn’t believe it either ! The appointment was all about me when I feel like it should now be about the baby’s health / wellbeing .
I’m still yet to hear my babies heartbeat but on a good note I’ve found my Doppler and ordered some gel for it so hopefully I will be able to find the baby’s heartbeat .
