[IVW]

Had the flue jab two weeks ago and what am i coming down with

Oh no IVW! Maybe it’s just a bad cold? My MIL gets the flu jab every year and still comes down with it most years though, there’s new strains of it every year maybe pop the doctors?

I’m getting soooooo impatient waiting for a proper bump and movement now, getting so anxious for my 20 week scan as I’ve no idea if everything is still ok or not, I’ve got a tiny bump still below my belly button, all my bloating has gone so I look smaller then I did a few weeks ago! Don’t think I’ve felt proper movement or kicks yet either, I’ve felt a few things which could have been but I’m not sure

How’s everyone getting on?

Spoke to a pharmacist earlier and she said all i could take is paracetamol, so i think i will just have to see this one though. Strangely enough its making me feel nauseous like i was in the first trimester

Im still looking quite small as well, but do feel like i am getting bigger and bigger everyday but i dont think i have noticed any movement either. Its hard to tell if its food digesting or mini ivw moving

Countdown to our scans continues

Aw hope you feel better very soon, hopefully it will pass quickly, yeah that’s how I feel about movement can’t tell if it’s just my digestive system or not lol, hurry up 20 week scan, going for tea with my friends tonight feel like a fraud for not being able to present a bump to them ha ha might just wear something tight and let the bloat hang out a bit, I’m convinced that’s what people on social media are doing when they are posting baby bump pics at like 12 weeks lol xx

Glad you are all getting on okay. I'm 18 weeks tomorrow and I've not felt any movements yet and still mostly a bloat bump haha. Thankfully the midwife let me listen to the heartbeat last week, so I'm feeling pretty relaxed for a change! This weekend is the first time I've felt sore though, think it's ligament pains.

 

[Mummymoreton]

Aww get well soon IVW and make sure your taking it easy.
My movement is still very sporadic!!! I had lots of movement a couple of days ago very definite baby! Then I can't say for sure I have felt it since. But that's normal for this stage so I'm not worrying.
My bump/bloat is prominent but would defo say it's my already mummy tummy firming up haha!
Try and relax it all sounds normal xxxx

 

[Coles]

Just wondering if anyone has seen their bumps move but not felt anything? I am still pretty sure I am just feeling digestion but on Sunday night my stomach was rippling. Very strange. I am not due until the 25th so only 16 weeks 5 days xx

Haha my friends are the opposite (well the ones that have kids/are pregnant). They’re like ‘It’s so annoying you don’t have a bump, you’re going to be one of those lucky people who stays small’ haha. Not that I’m particularly small, I’m a pear shaped 14/16 but always had a small waist/flat tummy, maybe body type has something to do with it? I think my scan is same day as you (26th?). I was the same, haven’t paid for a private and no heartbeat listening at 16 weeks, I felt like I was doing really well and keeping calm until this week and now I feel like my anxiety is creeping up and two weeks feels like a million years!!

Had my whooping cough jab today - my arm is agony!!! Which usually doesn’t happen to me after injections.
20 week scan tomorrow.... can’t wait!!! Thankfully it’s at 9am so I don’t have to wait long xx

 

[first_time_mum]

I found out today I am having a BOY! My second little boy xx

 

[JomoMama]

Congratulations!! another boy! xx

 

[Rainingflowers]

Wow another boy... Am I still the only girl?!?
So... For those of you who were talking about feeling movement I think I could feel her little kicks last night. I was lay in bed, kinda half sat up reading with no other noise. And I definitely kept feeling movements. My partner couldn't feel when he held his hand and when he applied any pressure she stopped. Then 2 minutes later I could feel her again. I would recommend just lying in bed in silence and really concentrate and hopefully you guys will feel something!

 

[firstfreakout]

Hey guys just a quick update. I’m 16+4 today and have been feeling kicks for the last week or so! We had an early gender scan today and it is most definitely another boy... DS is 14 months so imma have 2 boys under 2! A bit sad it’s not a girl and a bit overwhelmed that I’m having another boy so soon but so happy he’s healthy and happy in there!

Had a headache all day and a fussy kiddo so I’m going to bed!

Congrats on every else who’s found out so far

 

[JomoMama]

Congratulations on another little boy first freak out! xx

 

[night owl]

I can’t believe how many boys there are!! Congratulations xx

 

[IVW]

Its a boy baby boom, i am putting it down to the fact it was the world cup at the time we all conceived

A week tomorrow and we find out the sex - i am almost certain i am having a boy as well, but as ever, i could well be very wrong.

Congrats ladies

Had our 20 week scan today - he looks absolutely perfect and as always he was sitting in an awkward position just to mess with the sonographer!! Thankfully it looks as though his little heart is healthy, I’ve got a heart condition so they’re keeping a look out for anything wrong with his heart, but the sonographer was happy with what she saw today. We have a specialist heart scan in 2 weeks to confirm everything is alright with his heart but fingers crossed everything is looking good!! It was so weird, I could feel him kick me while watching him kick on the screen! Was such a special moment and the oh and I are over the moon everything is looking good.
Hope you’re all well

Best thing to do is to screen shot that picture and upload that screen shot - i used to get the same and read from another member if you screen shot it, it will do it fine - hopefully that works x

 

[night owl]

Amazing news jomo and lovely pics too xx
