Hi everyone.
We had our gender scan today first time hubby has seen baby on screen.
Baby wasn’t playing ball just like her bigger sister - but after a jiggle about was able to reveal her gender. We think we will call her Amelia 😊 the only hitch was her placenta was lying low- I hope that changes.
Patched things up with my mum who apologised & saw my point of view ❤️
Happy Halloween 🎃
Aww lovely news! Congratulations.
Love the name Amelia! Xx
Thank you. Hope you are well Xx
Congratulations I'm having another girl as well I'm so excited going for my 4d tomorrow 😁😁
Thank you, we have kept all of Francescas baby items so big win financially! 👌🏻 It will be nice as they will have similar interests ☺️Congratulations on your little girl 💖 Enjoy your 4D scan they are such an amazing experience ❤️ Xx
Yeah same I've kept loads and have bought a few bits as we couldn't find any new born or 0-3 but all the others up to a year we have loads and have steriliser just need new bottles as she damaged the teets ,at 6 month she will need a sit me up ring But we have a bouncer and changing unit pram were all set really was considering getting a next to me bed we have a cot but it's too much bending for me after a c section.a little girl is great for me as my daughter is 4 so the gap isn't too big x
That really helps, that is nice age gap, I expect she is very aware of what is happening & feel involved 😊
There will 22 months age gap between Francesca & Amelia.
I think we might buy a few outfits, definitely bottles & double buggy will be essential for taking both girls out together on my own! Xx
I am thank you looking forward to getting 12 week scan in a couple of weeks so hopefully can relax a bit. Love the name Amelia and good news re your mum 😘 xx
Thank you. The early weeks are so tough- particularly after a struggle & spotting. I spotted with every pregnancy- my grown up my grown up son & daughters ( only 1 was a chemical pregnancy- that was severe abdominal pain & the bleeding got heavier) it is very scary to see any blood but it is very common to have spotting in early pregnancy midwives also advised unless in lots of pain with heavy bleeding not to worry. 12 weeks is such a huge milestone. Wishing you the best with your pregnancy Xx
Thank you too. Now you can get buying!!! Keep in touch and take care x
Congratulations Jess i love girls love the name Amelia too. Glad you've sorted things with your mum. 😘💗
Thank you so much. They’ll be so close in age only 22 months so hope they’ll have similar interests. I kept everything of Francescas couldn’t bare to get rid of it 🙃- from changing unit to jumperoo definitely saved a huge amount of money which helps! All of her stuff is in such good condition. I hope the pregnancy is going well & no more spotting. I’ve spotted with my sons & daughters bloody awful & very scary each of my pregnancies bleeding has got worse had 7 episodes of fresh red with clots with this pregnancy this definitely my last one couldn’t go through anymore too stressful Xx
That's the thing about having them so close no need to give items away, babies don't last to minutes in their clothes so you'll be really nicely prepared there too!! Really ideal coz it does get expensive!! Yes spotting has stopped 🤞🏻 i think it was mainly coz of coughing loads and also blood thinner. Not sure though!! Got my dating scan on Tuesday so see how things are there. It really is stressful isn't it your bleeding is so much worse than what I've experienced. Glad all is going well though. 💗😘
All the best with your dating scan , such a good milestone to get passed I’m sure all will go well 😍 glad the spotting has stopped ☺️I think my bleeding was caused by endo & nothing to do with any of my baby’s. Will be thinking of you on Tuesday & hope you are able to have hubby there with you Xx
Thanks lovely. Hubby will be with the kids, its no problem though he'll be in the carpark waiting for me. Kids aren't allowed in the scans!
Yes it probably would have been your endo. Your endo is quite extensive isn't it! 💗😘
That’s a shame. My hubby wasn’t allowed to attend the dating scan & I honestly don’t think with lockdown he will be allowed to 20 weeks scan which was the only scan he was allowed to attend ( I’ve got growth scans due to my son being small) I’m so glad he got to see our baby today. Our hospital & private scans are all saying no to children, mind taking Francesca to a hospital is the last place I’d want to take her 😳 luckily she’s not old enough to be aware or think that she’s missing out. Pictures are pretty amazing tho. Kids are quite accepting of the situation we are in, I think more than some adults! 👌🏻
My endo is bad I’m amazed I’ve been blessed again with another baby. Still shocked! I didn’t expect to get lucky again Francesca was such a miracle that we never thought we’d have 😍
I found the staff at my dating scan very supportive & really tried to put my mind at ease ( I’m such a worrier!) I’m sure the hospital staff will look after you Xx
You was very lucky also deserved it after what you went through to have Francesca. 💗
Im a tough cookie Jess ill be fine in hospital for a scan, its when they keep me in I panic 😘💗
Oh, that's great news. Lovely Amelia.
My placenta was quite low early on and it moved up out of the way of the cervix no problem xxx
Thank you. That is so reassuring ie low lying placenta.I’m such a worrier! Hope you are all well Xx
Congratulations what great news 😀. Amelia is a lovely name xx
