I have no clue on gender guesses even after reading theories.
I'll just chuck in a guess of boy though

I never remember how to add pics off my phone but just been playing with a baby gym/play mat that my mum bought us.
It's Safari 2 in 1 Baby Gym from Mothercare. Down to £10 from £29.99. Bargain!x

Random thing but you know when your heart pounds so fast you can actually feel it pounding out your chest?!? Well i went for a nap earlier and when i woke up my bottom half of my stomach was physically pounding to the babies heartbeat. Thought something was gunna jump out. Lasted about 30secs till i got.freaked out and.moved and it stopped. Anyone else experienced it? Normal?xxxx

Thanks ladies my 20 week scan is 3rd march, can't wait I feel like this pregnancy is flying in. Started getting all the little flutters now, so amazing. I also have the worst baby brain! I'm a complete liability. It took my 10 mins to work out why any steering wouldn't work last week! I was close to calling RAC but luckily!...I hadn't turned the car on..haha it's ridiculous xxx

 

[Claireandbump]

Sorry Claire, I'm of no help as I haven't experienced that before x

Morning everyone! Sorry not posted for a while, been one of those crazy weeks! I actually had a meltdown at work yesterday and cried in front of my supervisor! And I only told her I was pregnant on Wednesday. Was soooo mortified as I'm usually quite cool and collected at work!

Oh wow Claire I don't know anything about that sorry but I'm sure it's absolutely fine. I vaguely remember seeing somebody else posting something similar somewhere and others said that it's quite common to see/feel pulsing as there's a lot of increased blood flow down there and the placenta is also pulsing away too? How cool if it was baby's heartbeat

I woke up this morning and felt flutters I think but how do you know it's baby and not just gas?! I'm 16 weeks so I guess it could be baby but just not sure xxxx

Claire you had a major artery running through your belly which gets pursued to the surface during preganncy (I kept feeling a pulse in my stomach) but it's not babies it's mine!! (Might not be same for you though...and how amazing if it was baby!)
Xx

Thanks everyone. I'm 19+2 today. Got scan on Wednesday! So not long to wait. I keep feeling bubbles in my tummy,but I think I can also hear them so guessing it's just gas rather than baby. My belly is growing,so I know baby is still in there,but it doesn't stop you worrying!! I have been so ill this week I even had a day off on weds,which is my first ever day off since becoming a teacher 8 years ago!! Although I feel like having that 1 day off I missed so much. How am going to cope with having 9 months off?? At least I'll have the perfect distraction!! Told the children in my class yesterday and they were so excited!! They thought I would have it today and wouldn't be going back. So I got a billion cards for me and that baby that they made during golden time. We share golden time with the year 1 teacher and she said they were very confused as to why I didn't know if it was a boy or a girl but told her that it was ok because they'd find out in July!! They're so cute bless them. A few parents noticed in assembly too and were very excited for me!! It's so lovely. In other news things are going much slower with the house than they originally thought,so it's not looking likely it'll be Friday that we complete just can't wait to get in and set up babies room. At least it's half term and I can get some stuff packed up!

Anyone else experiencing constant heartburn?? On top of a thickly cough and blocked nose and constant urination I feel like I'm falling apart!! Every time I cough I wee a little,so I think baby is laid on my bladder! Thanks baby!!

Hope everyone is doing well can't believe we are halfway through!! Xxx

Anyone heard how Kaylip has got on at her scan? x

 

[Loretta]

Just bought my pram. Got it second hand so it's sitting in my lounge right now. So pleased - bugaboo chameleon.
Also went to see a friend who gave me two huge bags of books and maternity clothes.
Feeling like it's becoming real now. Scan next week!

 

[Kaylip29]

Sorry for the late update, only just got home, been round telling all our family what colour they can buy

We are officially team.....BLUE We have a very active little boy on our hands!

We have even decided on a name, so a very productive day in all! It was amazing to see him in 4D too, I will post some pics shortly!! Hope you are all well today xx

 

[twinkletoes220]

Congratulations. Happy that everything is ok and you are having a healthy baby boy!!! Xxx

 

[Kaylip29]

Well that was an uncomfortable night. Had a few hip/groin muscle pains during the day, then woke at stupid o'clock with pain throughout right leg. Tried pillow between legs, did nothing for ages. Then in desperation I moved it under my bump. Instant relief! I'm not that big but obviously enough to be pulling it down away from the hip. I was sleeping on my left.
At least I have a solution now and the bad night was a Saturday so can nap today to recover!
Here's to a comfy day for us all.

 

[AnotherYou]

Aww Kaylip congrats, gorgeous pic!!

Lorentz I'm glad you found a way to relieve it - I've been finding my bump feels heavy when I lie on my side so may invest in a v-pillow soon.

I love that I'm starting to notice a pattern to baby's wriggles now, afternoons are the most active time - it's so lovely!!! I stuck OH's hand where I felt a couple of pops last night and he felt a little twitch too

I'm feeling a bit emotionally conflicted though right now as an old (not really close) friend from university I saw on Facebook had given birth prematurely a couple of weeks ago to a little boy - he'd been improving slowly and come out of icu, but sadly passed away on Thursday. I was so devastated to hear it, I'd been at my parents and cried driving home because it's just too overwhelming to think of. I feel like I can't feel so happy about my own little developments when I can't imagine the pain she must be feeling. Agh!

 

[Jennyxx]

Congratulations on your little boy xx

 

[Loretta]

AnotherYou, I'm really sorry to hear that. We have friends whose baby was still born. It was a while ago now, but I know the pain is still raw for them. You just never know whether it's a good/bad day, so as long as you're being aware of their situation, try not to feel guilty for your situation. I'm sure they wouldn't want that.
