pregnancy

Well OMG here we are again, cant believe I am back here now. I spent many hours on this site when I was pregnant with my son, Charlie, and I am sure I am going to do the same this time around!

Pregnancy Glitter Graphics from dolliecrave.com

Found out I was pregnant on the 29th May 2009, I was 2 days late and did a test and got a faint BFP!!

Feel free to message me, I love making new friends. I made a really good friend the last time I used this site and she is the best - here that Zoe you are the best!!! So I hope to make more friends this time around too. ☆

I am going for a private scan this Saturday the 11th July as I am desperate to know alls ok and whether theres more than one baby in there! will update soon :-)

Update: All was fine, one baby in there, all healthy and measuring correct for my dates, good heartbeat of 163 beats per minute, am very happy :-)

22nd July 2009 - I went for my hospital scan today and all was good, but they changed my due date so am now due on 6th February 2010. Baby was amazing x

5th August 2009 - Got my screening test results back for downs sydrome and its low 1:27,890 yippee

20th August 2009 - am nearly 16 weeks and its my 4th wedding anniversary today. Had a VBAC appointment at the hospital which went well yesterday, was told I have a 70% chance of having a normal birth this time and I think I am going to give it a go. It transpired the reason why Charlie wouldnt come out last time is that he was lying back to back and that explains my horrendous back labour as well. Feel great that I now know what happened to me. Oh and I find out the sex on Saturday!!!!! :-)

22nd August 2009 - Had my scan and IT'S A GIRL how exciting! I am soooo lucky I really do feel like the luckiest girl ever. We are deciding on a name but we love and have always loved Ellie Louise Manning so think that one will probably stick :-)

2nd September - Last night baby started moving quite abit more, I have been feeling flutters since I was 15 weeks but now I can feel quite abit and I let hubby hold my belly and he could feel her moving too :-) how exciting

20th September - Ok so today I had my 20 week ultrasound and I am still in shock! It was confirmed that she was definately a girl which is a relief as we have bought lots of pink stuff, everything looked normal which was even better BUT she is a big girl. The ultrasound tech came out after the scan and asked me how big Charlie was last time as this girls very chubby and she is very very tall, in fact she is right at the very top of her height chart already. I mean, James is 6 ft 5 and I am not short, but I have wondered why I am so huge this time around, I was showing so early and have more stretch marks already and I am just 20 weeks! Now I know why! lol Charlie was measuring average in my last pregnancy so something tells me she is gonna be a big tall baby so I am not going to buy anymore newborn clothes as I can be sure she wont ever fit into them!

29th September. Ok so today I am not so happy as I was last time I blogged. Saw midwife today and she told me that my BMI is 33 this time and the cut off is 30 which means I will have to have a blood glucose test on the 10th November :-( She said that because baby is measuring big as well I would need that anyway :-( Then I got to work and checked out my blood test results which she put in my notes and I am concerned as they say that 'Possible Alpha + thelassaemia carrier and/or iron deficiency. One major peak with HBA.' To ME that doesnt sound normal and now I am worrying. I just hope that she would have told me if there was anything wrong with my blood thats all. I need to have faith in the NHS! she did tell me though that I would be carefully monitored at the end part of my pregnancy if baby is big and I would need regular scans...

8th October 2009, 22 wks +5. I finally saw bubs kick from the outside today :-) how exciting. She is starting to move alot now and its a comforting feeling. Cant believe how fast this pregnancy is going!

7th November 2009 - 27 weeks! aaaah 3rd trimester here we come. Feeling ok, apart from aches and pains and usual discomforts. Not looking forward to my glucose test on Tuesday I hope I pass :-(

15th November 2009 - 28 weeks :-) Well firstly I wanna say CONGRATULATIONS to Zoe who is preggers and due in July. I am so pleased for you girl well done :-) so thats the first bit of good news out of the way, the second lot of news is that I passed my horrible glucose test so thats fab. It was horrid and I fainted when I had the bloods done cos I was so weak and hungry! LOL Got a midwifes appointment in 2 days so I am looking forward to knowing how big bubs is measuring. will update soon :-)

17th November 2009 - Saw midwife. Urgh she was useless. Was kept waiting over half an hour and it was a midwife I had never seen before as mine was off sick. I had to prompt her to do all the usual checks she really didnt seem to know what she was doing! Anyway alls well, baby is measuring a week ahead so its not too drastic, midwife says thats ok for now, they will keep an eye on me but they only get concerned when you measure more than 2 weeks ahead. So thats fab. Bubs is head down and lying on her side :-) I was supposed to get my maternity grant form today but again she was so rubbish she didnt have a form for me so I have got to go and collect one in a week so I can get my health grant. At the rate I am going I wont get one before I pop! lol She told me not to worry about my blood tests, I was slightly anaemic last time but I am fine this time, alls well. Wont see a midwife now properly until the 15th December....

Saturday 21st November, 29 weeks :-) Had abit of a scare yesterday and the night before. Bubs was hardly moving and I was worried - my midwife told me to monitor baby movements carefully as any change could mean she is distressed. Anyway so I phoned the hospital daycare yesterday morning and they told me to drink loads of water, give it 2 hours and if she doesnt move much then to go in. Thank god I drunk the water and half hour later she came to life. She has been a little mover ever since. Maybe she was just having a lazy day but boy she got me worried!

OMG ladies....my b/f is driving me crazy!! he keeps telling me that i have to exercise, exercise, EXERCISE!!!! LOL. I know he is thinkin about me in the end because he wants me to be able to push this baby out but God knows exercising at this point is the last thing on my mind. I only weigh 120lbs now and that is all belly! Is anyone else having this problem with their partner?!?!?!?!?!

Well Alyssa is here sorry i have not been on i just got out of the hospital yesterday. I posted her birth story if you want to read it go ahead. She is a really good baby. She sleeps so good. Last night she slept in my bed and she slept from 11:30 to 6:00 this morning. I am really loving being a mommy of a newborn and 2 toddlers it is the best feeling in the world. It is so much work but it is all so worth it. I think my kids love her. xoxo robyn

Just had appoinment with the midwife and both boys are head down. Twin one has already droped to so he will now stay head down. This now means I can refer to them by name when I feel them move instead of calling then twin one and twin two. Everything else is great. Although I did fail my GTT and now have GD. I just really hope that I can diet control it like I did with DD.

Hey ladies. I gave birth to my daughters at 31 weeks on Sunday Morning. I have been in hospital all this time. Carmen Leigh weighed 3lb 10 and Sophia Elizabeth weighed 3lb 6. I was in labour start to finish for 6 hours with an epidural. I am home now but very sadly without my babies which are in Special Care Baby Unit. They probably won't be home for 4 weeks. I will upload pics when I get a chance!
