Babies due after IVF

aawww ginger! that made me well up with a tear reading about your wee one in the scan you have come so far!

Yayyyyy! So glad to hear things are all good with wee no.9!

# 9 sounds like an active little bean! Glad to hear that all is well with him/her.

Glad to hear No. 9 is doing well Ginger - I'm so pleased for you. Just a word of warning though - at 9, 11, 13, and 14 weeks Jack was jumping up and down all over the place, the specialist found it really hard to catch a still shot to measure size etc. Anyway, my point being he never stopped moving even in his sleep and started crawling at 5 months so good luck

Eek emz!!    Oh dear. I just remember No. 9 swishing across the screen at his/her 8 week scan and giving us all a surprise    Although I think he/she was half asleep when we had one the other day because there was a bit of hand waving and that was about it. Mind you, after the week I'd had, I was more looking at the heartbeat than anything.

We have our 12 week scan this afternoon - and by 'we' I mean me and kiddly    DH, dopey boy, has started doing some overtime to help pay for the OB and forgot today was a big day and got himself rostered on at work!! Still, since we get to see kiddly pretty regularly anyway, I'm not too worried and we have no reason to think that today's scan won't be straight forward. I htink DH will probably just ask the OB really nicely to let him have a peek when we go in on Wednesday for the results etc.

I'm not counting my chickens, but I had a good day yesterday with almost no pain, and although I've got a little bit going on today, it's nothing like it has been which is an enormous relief! I got a bit desperate and resorted to bribery with No. 9. I promised to read him/her TWO stories a day if he/she would behave    Here's hoping it's as easy once he/she is here!

I said to DH on Friday when I was feeling spectacularly miserable ... this kid is *definitely* a girl, and probably a redhead the amount of trouble it's causing!    I think you've had it worse than I have kiwibubs, so I feel a bit reassured to know that!

I'm having the scan at Ascot - so hopefully, being private, they might not be under too much pressure and will let me oggle No. 9 for a bit    Poor DH is really annoyed with himself for missing it. I doubt he'll make that mistake again though!

It'll be good too to get a good assessment of what the placenta is up to as well.

Scan was great as Ascot- they did a DVD of photos for me (about 20 of them) to share with family so maybe you can do the same for DH?

Very clear picture on the monitor, and they spend about 20 minutes getting lots of views and snaps!

Great news Ginger, sounds like a wonderful scan!

My OB told me not to expect to feel No. 9 until about 20 weeks melly so I wouldn't panic. I know you can feel them earlier than that, from what I've been told, but I guess it's perfectly normal to feel movements quite late too!

I'm so sorry you lost your nana

I think I'm going to have to get another pair of pants myself - I have a pair of Egg ones which did fit, but now they're ... too big!    They keep falling down! I've put on weight I think, but it's all belly and around my waist ... my hips have shrunk a bit (my other maternity pants slide South a bit too) as my bum and thighs are a bit the same. Not hugely, but enoough to be a menace. It has to be all that healthy eating!

I said to the radiographer yesterday when No. 9 was going mad that it's amazing that it's wiggling so furiously and I *can't* feel anything!

And don't worry ... I don't imagine my hips and thighs will stay shrunk for long and it's not like they couldn't do with it anyway    My stomach is certainly making up for it - the number of people who have given me ribbings about a 7 foot baby ... ack!!
