Pregnancy #2

What baby monitors have you guys all got/getting?

I looked at the BT one, it looks not bad

 

[Definitelyme]

So I’m due on Wednesday, induction is booked for Thursday but I’m still undecided about it Really don’t think baby is gonna come before Thursday.

Have midwife appt tomorrow morning so will ask if she’ll do another sweep. The one last week didn’t do anything.

Getting close now!! I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned before, but is there a reason they’ve booked your induction so early? I’d be inclined to wait it out a bit, but then again by the time 40 weeks comes sometimes you just want the buggar out

Im going to catch up on the posts in this thread (im behind about 37 p

yeah I booked an early scan for 7 and a half weeks but I ended up in hospital at 5 and a half and 6 and a half weeks because they thought it was ectopic. (Luckily it wasn’t.) Had a transvaginal scan twice now and it’s no bother whatsoever. Doesn’t hurt at all and definitely worth it for the better view.
For my actual early private scan, its really nice and chilled. They have a big screen on the wall in front of you so you’re not craning to see the sonographer’s little screen to your right. And then they took the time to scan more and found I had twins in there. And I’m going back on Saturday to double check they’re both still doing ok

What had happened that they thought it might be ectopic? Sounds scary and intense. Your scans sound like a lovely experience. How are you feeling about twins? Are these your first babies?

Hi everyone, just thought I’d give an update. I’ve been into hospital today as I had some really bad pains down my leg and abdomen, had bloods done etc and they have confirmed an early loss, I’m obviously sad however I also feel somewhat relieved as I can accept it and move on and start again next cycle. I wish everyone the best of luck with their pregnancies and I hope to be back on this thread again soon Take care everyone and thanks for all the advice and support xxxx

Sending you lots of love. Im so sorry for your loss. Hope youre okay and being well looked after xxx

Hi everyone, follow up from yesterday’s faint positive, I started bleeding heavy at 4am and it’s stopped around dinner time today. I have taken this cheap Amazon test around half a hour ago and stopped bleeding, still showing a faint positive. I think it’s probably been a chemical.. what do you think I should do? Do I need to ring the doctors or just let nature take it’s course? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you xx

 

[Mel17]

Oh sorry i thought this was your first pregnancy. Oh well if you've had these kind of test results before that's great. I really hope it's good news!

Thank you Xx

Lol yep - I didn’t eat a single green thing yesterday, just wanted toast. I had some nausea last week but it seems to have disappeared!

Insomnia is getting steadily worse - I’m so tired during the day but then takes me ages to fall asleep and then I wake up like clockwork around 2am every night

Insomnia, tell me about it! Woke up at half midnight and was wide awake til half 4. Then husband gets up at 6 to go to work and he’s developed this incredibly irritating habit of putting the radio on when he gets up, I had to tell him off as then he thoroughly woke me up too when it’s my day off!!

I also feel fine no sickness I am a worrier and I feel the same as you although no sickness or maybe the sickness feeling is just not what I expected could be why I don’t fancy eating anything X

how far on are you? My sister in law
[/QUOTE]

I think I am 7 and 3 today but this is guesstimate as the scan I had was a bit vague x

The midwife told me on the phone that I have to attend alone

Sorry to hear this the disparity between different trusts re partners attending is very strange, not sure what the logic is behind it.

Question of the day: do you find boys or girls names easier?

We find boys names so easy and girls names impossible. It will be a serious struggle if these twins are two girls.

We are set on a boys name but no idea for a girl! Trying not to say boys name too much incase we go off it

 

[WhatABore]

Question to the people who have had csections previously... How long did you have to stay in afterwards?

 

[Easilyannoyed]

Sunday evening?! Better than nothing l suppose! Yeah mine was an hour but actually just lasted 40 mins.

I actually don’t mind not like I could be doing something else as nothing is open least they called me x

Hi everyone, I have tried to make my own thread however it’s not letting me so I hope you don’t mind me posting in here. I’m after some advice because I’m honestly worried sick and don’t know if I can take another week of not knowing. I found out I was pregnant on 16th jan started heavy bleeding the next day for 2 days, this then stopped. I thought I had a chemical pregnancy and EPU told me to test every couple of days and if it was negative it would be a chemical. I had my HCG levels checked last Monday which were 21 and today again and they are 53 I’m aware this is very low and doesn’t look good for a progressive pregnancy. They said they can rule out a possible ectopic and don’t want to see me again until next Tuesday if I still have a positive pregnancy test? I’m so so worried, I honestly thought they would want to do bloods again to monitor? Especially if it’s a possible ectopic! I have had no pain or bleeding since I last bled. Sorry for the long post I’m just looking for some sort or reassurance xx


Can’t ***

How many weeks would you be?

If you’ve not had any symptoms of Ectopic I’d think they’re just saying it to cover themselves.
Sadly as above, it’s a watch and wait because they can’t do anything for you until you know for sure. In a way, with these early tests we know too early i

Glad he got a wee bit longer, but absolutely shocking that that is how long fathers are being allowed to stay to support their partner and see their new baby. Must be so hard for them, and for women who could really use the help.

I don’t think this is a COVID thing though, this was the case before COVID too.

Have you got baby name tinder? It helped me and my husband.

You link up on it and when you like names it lets you know if you’ve got a match. It’s quite fun!

Omg what this sounds so wrong yet so so right at the same time! Off to check it out!

 

[Chickenandgravy]

How much weight should you worry about if you lose? Obviously I've been really sick and I know the weight loss is just a by product of that but I've lost over a stone now I'm just coming up to 14 weeks and hoping that it's all easing and I'll put it back on but I'm a bit paranoid. Called my midwife but no answer yet

 

[Easilyannoyed]

Ok, I’m being so thick now so be nice. Is there a place called pram centre or places that just sell prams? Anyone recommend the best places to go?

I also thought this but me and my friend looked in Harrods for her pram and they have a ramp you can push it up etc I think there are local pram shops like independent ones and also mamas and papas. Me and my partner have debated prams already he already has a son and he said I can choose but he is adamant he will carry the baby in a Papoose because he thought the pram was a waste of money
Edit we were already together shopping and she said she wanted to look at the prams this was after number 1 lockdown I wouldn’t usually think of going there to look for prams.

Hi everyone, I’m back again, waiting for my doctor to call me re chemical pregnancy. I got told to take another test in meantime, this positive has just come up. It’s gotten darker since yesterday?

 

[StrawberryCream]

There’s a baby name app that works like tinder. It’s called ‘babyname’ and you and a partner download it, swipe left or right to ‘like’ or dismiss then it saves any ‘matches’ you’ve both liked into a list. We are so stuck on a name still though

Not heard of this app definitely going to give it a try!

 

[StrawberryCream]

Opposite for us - we have already decided on a girl name but boys are really difficult! Has anyone got any good suggestions for websites for name inspiration?

I have the penguin book of baby names and I skim through it every few days and still nothing really jumps out at me
