October 2013 babies!

ICB3 congrats on your healthy baby. Can't believe the nurse said that to you, it was very insensitive.

Congratulations Strawberrymom! I hope the cyst goes away soon.

One week today until my scan. I'm very nervous about it, not about finding out the gender, but just finding out whether the baby is healthy or not. I've heard lots of sad stories lately, there has been a lot in the news here because there is a campaign at the moment to make termination legal for babies who have no chance of life outside the womb, I keep hearing these really sad cases and I'm terrified of my scan now.

Yes it is really important to have the baby with you the first hours and I was talking to my dr. She said "its only for a few hours" I think its really silly though and I will countinue fighting for that. Im from a country where they leave the baby with you right away but im in my husbands country right now and everything is so different in that area. People hardly breastfeed here either so sometimes I feel weird haha.

where are you living that they do this?!?!?!?! non of my babies have ever been taken at birth!!! that is so sad i think something like that would drive me to have a homebirth... and i am quite against homebirths.. but that makes me sad

Had my appt. today and tech agreed with mat21 test- I really am having a girl ! Baby is healthy and measuring on track, but I have a large cyst behind my cervix . They said to monitor it for now and didn't seem too concerned. Hoping it goes away.

Congratulations! Now go ahead and enjoy shopping for your pinkie! Really excited for you xx

I dont think they take the baby right away , I mean they let you hold it first and then they measure and so on. I have to ask good but my husband is not happy with the idea either ( he also thinks its important to be together, breastfeed and we also co sleep with our daughter still so it feels good that he is on my side)
When I see birth programs from usa on tv they often show a lot of babies lying in one room without their parents and I think they said its for observation. It is like that in USA?

Congratulations true blue and wishing for pink!!! I have an appointment on monday, im curious to see if it is still a boy
