Houston We have boy bits!!
Its been a while since I updated, we had our 20week anatomy scan last week and Its a boy!!! I knew it was a boy all along which is partly why we decided to find out, I thought it would not be a good idea to bond with a boy and then find out its a girl so we decided to let them confirm it for us. Sure enough, boy bits were located! Also we thought it would help us to get a bit of excitement back after the stress of my SCH.
I would have updated straight away but I was waiting for my midwife to call me and clarify exactly what the scan showed with regards the bleed and things, she said she would ring after she saw the results, only 4 days later, no word, so I will be ringing her on Monday to double check. I'm not worried since they were pretty clear at the scan that baby looked great, measuring 9 days ahead, and all bits seemed in order, but id just like to hear from her if there is anything she can tell me about whether the bleed looks better or worse of resolved etc.
I am still having the spotting, in all manner of brown colours as expected and just when I think its stopped I get some more, I am slowly letting myself not worry quite so much as I was about this.
I still havnt bought a single baby item haha, not one!! I just cant bring myself to do it! I am 30 on the 18th of August and am planning a girly shopping and eating weekend and I might find myself something to buy then, as for the nursery we are still to start that too! Im not too worried but since my midwife keeps telling me we are aiming for 30 weeks Im a bit worried I could well end up with a baby before I have bought anything!?! lol I think she might be telling me this to reassure me that IF baby comes at 30 weeks or after we will be ok, but im not sure if it might be that because of my lupus maybe she really does think it will come early???
I have my first OB Gyne appointment on the 5th, I get to see a physician too for the lupus side of things, I still feel like I should have seen them before now but I guess before now there's not much they can do for me. Now that baby is getting along there's a chance for him even if something goes wrong??
I have been very lucky symptom wise so far (apart from the bleeding) I have nothing to complain about and still feel very blessed, (if a little anxious) I have sore hips from sleeping on my side and my boobs are out of control!!!! Has anyone else had this problem?? I have tried about 11 bras, cups no cups underwires no underwires, sports bras, crop tops the whole shebang!! But my boobs just seem to pool in the middle and where they meet I have big thick sore pads of flesh with huge pores in them!! I have no idea how to fix this!!! I have tried powder and cream and asked every bra shop in town!!! I have finally found a maternity bra crop top thing which is soft enough that they aren't complete agony all day but the patches are still there, its like my boobs have turned square!!! Any help would be much appreciated!!
Love to all, still checking in on you all when I come on, keep up the good fight were all behind you xxx

Congrats on your boy ! Even at almost 7 mine gives me extra hugs, sure it will be the same for you.
I never had it as bad as you but only wore maternity bras because others just hurt but at home I would often wear none when no one was over.
good luck
Congrats hun! I\'m with Roxy- don\'t wear a bra at home to let those puppies breathe :)
Congrats for team BLUE my friend:0) I don\'t think I purchased a single baby item until we at least knew what we were having. It\'s ok to take your time with that and have fun with it.
I\'m sorry your chest has been sore thats no fun. I would often go nude with nothing but a billowing mumu on. It helped in the hot summer months and I would have moments of not wanting anything heavy touching or rubbing my skin. I too had sore hip joints. I slept with a pillow between my legs and that helped a little bit. Sadly extra aches and pains come with the territory of being preggo though. (I did do water aerobics which helped my aching hips, legs and back a lot) I\'m with Roxy & PolkaDotGirl, let the girls breathe if you can. *HUG!! I am so excited to be following your baby journey friend:0) I am cheering you on.
Congrats! I have been wondering how your 20 week scan went and if you found out the gender! Hooray for boys!!!!! Welcome to the boy club! ;-) Don\'t worry to much about buying baby items. We didn\'t buy baby items for a while and I didn\'t get everything ready till honestly a week and a half before my due date. lol My hips hurt sooo bad too! I totally hear ya! Anyway, CONGRATS AGAIN!!!
Thanks guys, glad to hear im normal, I was worried no bra would be bad too?? but it definitely feels a lot better !! You guys are great
Ya for 20 weeks and for feeling better. I\'m glad you are mentally happy. Go shopping for your little boy!!! You deserve to have all the fun!
