:awe: what a very beautiful baby girl you have Sunset!
Applesoup- I've attended a birth with cord wrapped 3x around neck. Not a single issue:) my own kids have been born with nuchal cord...half of the births I attend have nuchal cord. It's a normal variation of birth. If cord was such an issue...we would have never populated the Earth like we have. Our babies and bodies are smart:) Its way better to have cord around neck, away from the cervix, instead of a long cord squished under baby's head. Plus, cord around neck at birth is no more dangerous than no cord around neck.
my sister was born with the cord around her 3 times too.
it was around the neck twice, then under her armpit, and down between her legs.
lucky she had an extra long cord, because she was majorly tangled up in that thing....
Applesoup I love the announcement youll have to tell us about your family and friends reaction
Indigo violet good luck on your ultrasound this week

On the whole, we had really great reactions, especially from my family. My sister (who I was so frustrated with a few weeks ago) just had flowers delivered to me! I'm so confused...apparently, she likes me now? :shrug:Quote:

It's been horribly awkward announcing it to his family. Both of his sisters...long story short? They've each had trouble getting pregnant. Sister #1 wasn't excited last time because she couldn't get preggo & only responded back, "congrats" this time. Not sure if I'm reading too much into it? Sister #2 is having a hard time getting preggo & hasn't acknowledged our announcement AT ALL. Which, is awkward since DH works with her & the rest of his family every day. I understand her pain...
It's not that I expect people who can't get pregnant to be happy for me...I understand their pain and bitterness. (The same pain & bitterness I had every time someone had a girl or their DG, you know?) It just makes ME feel guilty for being pregnant & now for FINALLY have the little girl that I've prayed for...for YEARS! I wish I could just enjoy it without feeling partially reserved or like I can't talk about it for fear of hurting someone else, you know?
Anyway... You all have announced, right? Did your announcements go well? Will there by any family politics if you do/don't get your DG?
Applesoup Fantastic about your sister giving you flowers. His sister could still say congratulations at least to be nice regardless of whether u can have kids or not. I still use to give my congrats to mums having there girls.
I havent told my family yet I'm still not that big I just look abit bloated like I'm due for my period I've been meaning to tell them but I get anxious for some reason most likely the boy comments so I chicken out. I'm trying to prolong it for a couple of weeks and then I can say I know what it is and im not telling anyone though I'm not finding out until 20 weeks
Belle, sorry to hear about your hesitation in announcing too! It was really weird for us to announce even after we knew the gender! Haven't made it public on FB yet. I WILL say that I REALLY enjoyed my pregnancy this time around (early on), just because I didn't have to deal with all the comments from family....friends...family friends...etc. Plus, having kids old enough to be in school put a new twist on things this time. I also found it pretty easy to hide with a just slightly large fleece jacket that didn't look weird for me to wear inside or outside. Plus it was fun having a secret from our "know it all" families! :)
