Happy birthday and scan day!! X

 

[Lola1]

Hi girls! Not been on for a few days and just been having a catch up. Congrats Another You, Roxyroo, Toni and Boosh on your scans! Love the pics. I wonder if all these girls mean that us team yellow's might be more likely to have boys by law of averages! Congrats to everyone who has hit 20 weeks now Can't believe there's now a thread for November mums! I feel like time is literally flying!

Glad you had a great time with your OH Lacey Thanks for all the info on things to pack. I feel massively underprepared- haven't really started buying or sorting anything so it's really helpful.

Toni- mega exciting about the house- hope it all goes through for you!

Happy birthday and hope all goes well at your scan Claire

People have started to notice my bump now. And a girl at work told me the other day that she can definitely tell I've put weight on in my face. Was totally prepared for people commenting on my tummy growing but not about me putting weight on in other places, haha! Xxx

 

[Lola1]

Lacey- Please can you update the front page for me if you get a chance? My due date is 2nd August and my scan is 18th March. Thanks xxx

 

[roxyroo]

Oh god lol what did you say to her when she said that? Lol ive been told my bum is "a lot" bigger .. Yeah thanks lol x

 

[claire2602]

Thanks girls baby was stubborn as hell, facing the wrong way and took a good 20mins to get it to move, only moved slightly though but managed to get all measurements. Stayed team yellow too gender guesses welcome -im convinced a girl now! Not sure why xxxx

 

[Crawkay]

Ha, what a cheek!
As if people think it's ok to comment on things like that.
I had a bloke at work tell me I was 'piling the beef on', ha. I'm not at all, it's just bump but I think it was his laddish way of saying he'd noticed. Men can be a lot more abrupt.x

 

[Crawkay]

Aw, lovely Claire.x

 

[roxyroo]

Aww Claire what lovely pics! Well done for staying team yellow! I'm going to guess boy just because there is so many girls lol x

 

[BonzE]

Claire lovely pic!! I think girl, no idea why, I think there are loads of July girls coming!! X

 

[Ingridika]

Just found out that I am expecting a boy, so team blue now

 

[Boosh]

Happy Birthday Claire! What a lovely gift to see your little one! Great pictures! xx

 

[Lola1]

Aww congrats Roxyroo and Ingridika! Lovely pics Roxyroo- I think a boy but I'm rubbish at guessing!

Haha I know I was a bit taken aback! It's just strange as I'm sure people wouldn't come up to us if we'd put weight on before we were pregnant and say we've got a fatter face/ bum! Xxx

 

[Angela2612]

Lovely pics Claire
Ingridika welcome to the blue side there isn't many of us lol

 

[Lola1]

Oooh thanks for updating me on the front page Lacey! xxx

 

[KWarbee]

Happy Birthday, Claire! Glad to hear your scan went well, even if your little one was a little difficult! Very cute pictures, I would guess a little boy

Lola, I had a face comment back in December. A distant colleague said to me 'oh, you're not really showing yet, except, well, you are on your face'. How rude. Thanks, I have a fat face!!

I get bump comments every day now and I got my first bump toucher today

Congratulations on Team Blue, Ingridika

I made the most of the Argos baby event yesterday and searched through all 700+ items! I ended up buying 3 but I'm very happy with them, haha!

I bought:

I am really excited about the thermometer! I love that it glows different colours if the room is too hot or too cold and it also acts as a mini night light. Very sweet.

Hope you're all well xx

 

[Ingridika]

Thanks Angela... It does indeed seem tht there are more girlies)

 

[Laura29]

Happy birthday Claire

Congratulations on team blue ingridika

I have brought the body pillow too Kwarbee picked it up this morning can't wait to take it to bed later lol

On the note of less baby movement ladies I haven't rang the midwife little one had a few wriggles today so maybe she was just having a quiet day x

 

[Ingridika]

Laura, thank you.

I actually bought Argos body pillow couple of months ago (full priced though...) and it gives great support to your back.. I really love it and even full priced, its still so much cheaper than other ones on the market!

 

[KWarbee]

Laura, glad to hear that your little lady is more active today. My little one is having a quiet day today but I've heard that we should start properly monitoring their movements from about 25 weeks, is that right?

The pillow does look so comfortable, will be picking it up later. My OH saw it and was like 'but that's what I'm for!'. Bless him, not quite the same xx

 

[LaceyKeo]

A lot of midwives say not to actually monitor movements.

Some of you have already noticed a pattern of movement times, and you'll all get used to these. Essentially they say that you'll know your baby, you'll know if you haven't felt them moving/as much. In terms of actual monitoring... Babies are people too, some days they're less active than others, and they found that actual monitoring can cause more worry than necessary. They only say to monitor if you've had "reduced movement"... Drink a cold fizzy drink and lay down for a bit, pay attention to baby. If they liven up, all well and good, if you're still not happy after an hour or so, call.

I hope that makes sense.

That is only certain areas they say that, your midwife may want you to monitor... Obviously, their advice is what counts.

Congrats on team blue, Ingridika, and congrats and happy birthday Claire xx
