That's great your appointment is coming up so soon...I know, it feels like it takes forever though! When is your due date again? Mine is December 30, but as I will be getting a C-section this time around so we are expecting baby to make an appearance a little sooner than that. Yes, cramping is completely normal! I had it with my daughter too and now again, only it is mostly on the right side with this one. My OB told me its just the ligaments stretching to support the growing uterus. Haha don't worry I think about my symptoms too all the time...sometimes I worry if I don't feel enough symptoms a certain day or something, but so far I have learned this pregnancy to be very unpredictable and symptoms do come and go.

I know the feeling of cramping!!! I know it's normal but I feel it alot more this time prob because its second time being pregnant..
According to when my last period was my due date is 5th Jan, but I'm sure they get a better estimation once they do the first scan to see baby's growth and how far down it is..
Because Im a twin I'm actually quite panicking because alot of people keep saying to me what if you have twins lol I know it probly means nothing but I've been gettin cramping both sides usually as my mother experienced that with me and my twin sis but not her single pregnancies, and yes good old Dr google i was already doing my bit of research which prob made things more worse lol with dd I only got it left side but I just put it all down to my uterus growin.. I've already started getting leg pains which I got really far down with my 1st pregnancy when I was Alot more heavier.. Well it would be quite overwhelming having twins but I think if rather stick to 1 lol..
If you don't mind me asking how come your going for a
C section, did you opt for it? I use to think I'd opt for one but with my first labour ending up in a emergency c section and even though it was such a relief you get once they give you an epidural, that was total Bliss!! I still want to experience natural birth!

Here is one of the scan pics I got on Monday of my little jelly bean. :)

Ladybugs your scan pics are beautiful. I can't wait for my little bambino to grown some arms and legs so he looks more baby like :)

Afy... If you're a twin then you have a very high chance. I would love twins (ESP twin girls). Hope your cramps are bearable though. I made the silly mistake of running up the stairs after DS1 yesterday. BIG mistake. I've now pulled every stomach muscle oooops.

LOL. I don't even think I have any stomach muscles anymore!

So I got my NT scan through the post and its not until the 26th June! I will be nearly 14 weeks pregnant then (going by measurements of last scan) !!!

I'm rather bummed as I hoped it would be sooner :( On the up side at least being a week into my second trimester I might be able to breath a little easier if all is well and I should get an accurate nub shot!!

3boys...that is a long wait for your NT scan! I hope that the weeks fly by with your jellybean growing healthy and big each day!! Scan pix just warm my heart...my DS1 was overjoyed with pictures of "his" baby!!!!

Hello ladies sorry I haven't posted much, I have my NT scan Friday and I am freaking out.. hoping all is well with baby=( sadly my dh has some disorders that run on his side of his family so we are getting genetic testing and counseling also that day.. I will keep everyone posted!

I hope that all goes well on Friday...I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You sound like you will have a very busy day.... ((hugs))

thank you so much! and yes we will be there for around 3 hours.. they already gave us issues about bringing ds 1 and 2 along but since both dh and I need to be present we have no other options of who watches the boys so I hope they will behave like two little angels :nails:

I have my NT scan next thursday (the 30th) and for some reason I am terrified!!!! I've had such anxiety this time about a healthy baby - for some reason I feel like I was so lucky to have 2 healthy boys that how could I get lucky again! - I know.. so silly but still! So I'm terrified. I'm only 25.. well I'll have been 26 for 2 days when I get the scan so considering my age things should be fine.. but I'm just such a worry wart! I haven't had an ultrasound yet so it'd be nice to know there's a heartbeat!
