Due August 2012 Thread

Pushki you did the right thing talking to someone. Sometimes you just need to say things out loud and it seems better.

My husband is a brilliant Dad to the boys, but he didn't bond with either until they were born. I think some men are like that. I don't know maybe it doesn't seem real until the baby comes. My husband asked me what was wrong the other day because I was in a bit of a hormonal mood, I just said to him NEWSFLASH I'm 6 months pregnant lol.

SSFG do you know if you are having a boy or a girl yet?

The picture is amazing. My sister in law had the 3d scan, she didn't find out the sex but was convinced from the features of her scan picture it was a girl. When I looked at it before you replied I would have guessed a girl! Its amazing. I;m getting tempted to have one of these scans.

Yeah, they have the same details as the normal hospital ones or 2D ones, your name, LMP, gestational age etc

Thanks kinori , sometimes its easy to forget that the man doesn't get to bond with the baby until he meets her/him.
SSFG im so glad your scan went so well another little girl for the august thread!! how many weeks are you? i asked at my local scan place and she said about 28-30 weeks is the best for a clear pic. Im still in two minds about having it done...
I was in lid today getting watermelon( which i read somewhere is good for heartburn) and i came across gro bags for only 5euro!!! i know they're expensive things to bbuy usually and i promised myself id stop buying stuff but 5Euro!! i had to get one its a great size and quality and 100% cotton AND has little penguins on it!!!

little baby is having a party inside of me at the moment, sometimes i think she's half human half octopus!!

www.scanme.ie is the website. Def recommend them

Mulling would be too far for me any good more reasonable places around limp, cork, Kerry, Clare or galway? My boyfriend told me that 3d scans are just 30 euro in Poland!!!

Betsie_xr3i

that's crazy and we are paying through the roof for them, a friend of mine found out she was pregnant while in Germany and she got 3d scans as normal, no question asked

Thanks for the link SSFG, the price seems reasonable for what you get in the 3d/4d package. Im heading to galway at the end of the month so id definitely consider it. Would the sonographer be able to tell if something is not right with the baby?

Yes pushki, the sonographer will be able to see all the vitals, i had mine done in innervision castlebar, probably too far for you to travel, but yes she was very thorough. Check out their website, innervision.ie.

Hello Ladies!
How is everybody?? Is everyone getting all sorted now??
Time really is flying isn't it! 26wks already, my god!:)
I am finally getting a bump, its taking shape at last, so don't just look like I've put on a few lbs anymore Although, I am feeling v uncomfortable already. Finding it harder to move around and in bed I am like a whale trying to flip over onto my side!!:D:D

Betsie_xr3i

oh thank god Im not the only one who finds moving difficult already, Im dreading the though of what we will be like when we are nearly ready to pop, :-)

Yeah well he checked at the 18 week scan, I wouldn't be sure how much they can check at this stage of pregnancy but he was able to tell us that she has no cleft, and organs looked good and were functioning. He explains alot and answers questions, and if anything is wrong they will send you to hospital to check it out.

Nope, you are def not the only one! Jesus you would want to hear the puffs and pants of me trying to get around, up and down off the couch is a struggle!!:D:D
Oh the joys!!

Betsie_xr3i

oh Im the same oh laughs at me when i struggle to get up but he does try and help too, if i want to turn over at night i actually have to wake up and almost sit up fully and struggle onto my side and end up awake for a few minutes each time :-)

pushki

I know the feeling getting out of bed or out of a low chair!! Eekk!
Im going to talk to a professional tomorrow about the situation with the boyfriend hopefully ill feel better after it.
