euronorris

Moneypenny, I went for this one http://www.johnlewis.com/medela-swing-breast-pump-with-calma-teat/p230556767 and used our voucher towards it, so it worked out as just £65 for us Collected it last night.


Just had my 16 week midwife appointment. All was fine And, she used the Doppler and found baby's heartbeat, which I recorded on my phone for hubby and Mum/MIL etc. It was amazing!

That's great euronorris!
I've got my 20 week scan on Friday, really hoping we can find out the babies sex. I've been feeling baby kick for the last two weeks which is nice, though I'm not looking forward to feet under my ribs at a much later stage.

Hi ladies, can I dip my toe in and say hello?

I never truly thought I'd see the day when I could come over to this thread. Am pregnant for the fifth time having lost 6 babies (triplets and three singles) from the previous four pregnancies.

Had our 12 week scan this morning and everything is just perfect. We are overwhelmed and feel so incredibly lucky.

Measuring 12+6 and the nuchal fold measured 1.5 so I'm told that it's good. Had the blood test too so waiting for the results in the next couple of weeks.

We've decided to have everything offered to us as our last pregnancy ended due to Trisomy 15 & 20 so we want to be as informed and prepared as possible.

I've also had a diagnosis of APS (Antiphospholipid Syndrome) so am on lots of medication, pessaries and daily injections to support this little tinker. Seeing our wonderful consultant on the 18th to find out what happens next.

Lovely to be here and look forward to your support - hope I can give something back to you too.

Love Gelly

Oh I am so happy for you Gelly! Loved reading your post. Eeek!


18 weeks today and I think I can feel movements now which is pretty exciting. Heartbeat is really clear on the Doppler now too.

Welcome Gelly! And congratulations on the perfect scan! Nuchal fold of 1.5 is great. Ours was 1.9 at the scan and that was still considered normal. I think anything over 3.5 is cause for concern, so it sounds like yours is doing great!


So happy for you

Hi all
Can I join too? I didn't post on the less than 12w thread as I was far too anxious & have had quite a few scares but had a great 12w scan yesterday measuring spot on 12 weeks, due 20th July

Welcome Gelly and Becca, so happy that you're both here

22+5 today and babies are kicking me soooooo much! I've decided to take leave from 32 weeks so my last day will be 11th March! The end is in sight!

I'm getting really sore ribs atm. I'm assuming it's a twin as when I had my 20 week scan one of them was very high up. (I suppose the higher up my body they are the better! :rotfl:) but it is making sitting hurt a lot!

Really worrying about finances. We should be okay but it panics me. I rang our credit card company as the balance was over £1,000 (we only use it for food and fuel!) and they said it was due to the balance rolling over, so my bill this month would be £700 and we've spent the difference since the bill was produced. It certainly cleared things up but now I'm worrying that our CC bill will be a lot higher than I anticipate it to be when I'm off! It should only be a bit higher for the first month, right?

ETA - found out for definite that OH won't get paternity leave as he's only been at his job 3 months (although he has been in contiunous employment for 15 years+) so he's taking 2 weeks holiday instead. I was talking to a guy at work about it when the new girl chimed in with something I already tried, then got offended when I told her (nicely, I will add!) that it wasn't an option for us. How someone can get offended over something that doesn't concern them, I don't know!!

my '12 week' scan dated me at 15+1 so it appears I conceived mid period in a week when we did not even have sex for another 5 days.. All fine and wiggly though.. I'm 90% certain it is yet another girl.. OH will NEVER live it down.. we tell him he is a woman anyway as our other 3 are all girls and he has no Y chromosome

Other than the confusion over when the deed was committed all is looking fine and instead of being due July I am due June so the chances of me getting to the Rod Stewart concert on the 14th are reduced to -100!! oh well.. Looking at eviction being 9/10th June

My final edition is cooking and all in one piece..
