bednobs update

[bednobs]

hi everyone, just thought i'd give a quick update.
I am now, amazingly, 19 weeks pregnant. Still in a state of shock. I went for my anomaly scan today and the baby was lying in the wrong position to tell very much. They couldn't look at the heart chambers, great vessels, abdomen, face, gi tract or basically anything you can see at the front, but did look at the spine, brain, kidneys etc. I have to go back in 2 weeks and hope that he/she has moved - i think the baby is going to be lazy like their mum, just couldn't be bothered to roll over today!

I have been feeling what i think are movements for about 3 days, but the placenta is at the front so i might not feel proper kicks later on.

I still haven't even thought about buying anything, and clearly will be remaining team yellow for at least the next 2 weeks. I feel more relaxed now than i did at the begining but cant really relax fully till the scan in 2 weeks i think (although whether i'll be able to enjoy things even then is another matter i suppose!
i bought one of those foetal dopplers the other day, but have been too afraid to use it because i worry if i cant find the heartbeat i'll go into a spin!

dont look pregnant yet, but as i'm not a stick, i am well padded anyway :)

Awww bless you, been wondering how you were getting on :-)

Are you going to find out what sex he or she is? How are you feeling? Has the bleeding stopped? And lol at you still being in shock, wait till he or she arrives, then you won't know what's hit you ;-)

well baby not turning for the camera at least means you get to see him/her in 2 weeks again.
glad everything they could check is all well.
sounds like you are feeling kicks even though placenta is at front, dont worry youll feel (and see) the ones in the last trimester regadrless of where the placenta is lol
i could never bring myself to buy a doppler, i was of same opinion that i would panic if i couldnt find baby.
so are you finding out the sex at next scan then?

[bednobs]

i want to find out if i can, can't imagine not knowing really!

i stopped bleeding at abou 13 weeks and then started spotting again last week, and also had some bits of tissue passed. Has all stopped again now though. :)

[ummmm]

Looks like things are going well and you're just one of those unexplained cases.

Is the pregnancy giving you extra pain....?

Pleased to hear all is still seeming to go ok and I hope you're able to relax soon and just enjoy being pregnant.

Aww glad to hear from you bednobs, sounds like your baby is a boy as its being 'naughty'! I know what you mean about the dopplers, they can definitely do more harm than good but you do come rather obsessed with them. Whats this on your other thread about you being on crutches? What have you done?

[bednobs]

hi tigwig - haven't "done" anything as such - i am disabled, and when i'm not using a wheelchair i can get around a bit on crutches.Ps i'm going to try the doppler this evening i reckon!

[ummmm]

tigwig.....bednobs was due for a hip replacement just after she found out she was pregnant.

thank you for the update bednobs, good to hear all is going well, its always a relief to get past the first few weeks x

[bednobs]

it's so nice that everyone seems interested :)

[tigwig]

Oh I see! Sorry bednobs that sounded really rude didn't it? I didn't know and imagined you had fallen down the stairs or something. Glad you didn't!
In answer to your other question about needing a mothers help, maybe a local childcare college could help? When I was training to be a nursery nurse I went on a placement with a lady who was in a wheelchair and had a 3mth old to help her.

[bednobs]

didn't sound rude at all! I quite often get asked what ive done. someone asked me what was up with my leg the other day and i was just staring at it going "what IS wrong with it"?

[divegirl]

Hi, so pleased all is going well, I wanted to ask but it seemed a little nosey! Hope you are feeling well and still getting Mr Bednobs to do all the work!

sorry, rofl, but had to chuckle at this bit....

"had a 3mth old to help her. "

That's what I like to hear, a bit of child labour!
