Oh and also, I actually love it when people comment on my bump size.I think I must just be weird haha.
Oh I wish could be like that! Just so self conscious at the minute. It's mostly when they have a shocked look or tone of voice. I'm properly biting my tongue not to say "well duh. I'm growing a human. They need space! What did you think was going to happen?!"

You totally should say things like that back, some people need a sarcastic comeback to make them reconsider how they say things to people x

Even more excuse to be sarcastic i say
i think mothers think they can get away with saying more than they should because we are their children, my mum certainly does

Happy New Year ladies!!
Sounds like everyone had a good one, apart from the few who felt reduced movements, but at least you've been checked over. Tbh, I had a couple of episodes over the Christmas break where I wasn't feeling much and got a bit worried, but then I thought it's 5pm on a Wednesday and I'm just sat on the sofa doing nothing, whereas on a normal day I'd be leaving work and wouldn't even be thinking about the baby's movements, so I put it down to a change in my routine. Although the first time it happened was just after sex.. I have found it a lot more difficult to climax since being pregnant, I guess I just don't have the same stamina! haha but I was getting really wound up and so I powered through to make sure I finished, but straight afterwards got a really bad pain in the underside of my bump!! Then I noticed the baby wasn't moving so that scared me a lot! It did go away after 10 mins or so and I eventually felt a few kicks that evening. Since then, I've had this weird pain a couple of times when we've been out walking, and I think it must just be a stitch, but it was really scary the first time!!

Yes my baby girl has been going crazy lately too, I’m feeling quite a bit of movement quite low down too as if she’s punching me in the cervix sometimes it gives me a shock!

Yep mine is the same.. he hardly keeps still!! It's so varied as well because sometimes I feel kicks really low down and sometimes they're right up on top of my bump, almost pushing my boobs up!! haha at least we know they're okay!! x

Hi ladies, hope you’re all well.
Glad your babies are all moving nicely! to be honest for a good few weeks I was really worried about my baby’s movement as I felt I had found a pattern, but he just doesn’t move as much as I think other babies do. He certainly isn’t constantly moving all the time. But we had our 28 week growth scan yesterday and he’s absolutely perfect, blood flow of the chord is good and a good strong heartbeat - and he’s above average weight at the moment - approximately 2lb 15oz! So I’ve just come to the conclusion that he’s just a lazy baby, and maybe a bit calmer than other babies. Although they only told me yesterday that my placenta is at the front so that could be why I’ve felt him a little less. But I did get some exciting news yesterday, I’m going to be induced on the 16th of March so I pretty much know his birthday. xx

Ah wow Jomo, that's so exciting!! How many weeks will you be on 16th March?
The HR lady called me down the other day and said they're changing the maternity policy and I can now take as much holiday as I like before mat leave (before it was only what I'd accrued up until the day mat leave started, so I only had 7 days), so I am thinking of taking an extra 2 weeks and finishing work on 15th March. I'll be 36 weeks. I've been back and forth because I thought if he ends up being 2 weeks late then I'll have had 6 weeks at home with no baby and it'll feel wasted, but I think I'm going to just go for it because it means I have time to chill out, rest and make sure everything is ready.. plus if I didn't finish until the end of March and then he came 2 weeks early, I would have no time to rest at all!! It's so hard to know what to do as you have no idea when they're coming! (Unless you're being induced!!

Ps, I’ll make a Tri 3 thread if anyone wants to go over there
I was wondering about this, as not 100% sure when tri 3 starts - is it 28 weeks?

Think tri 3 is from 27 and a half weeks or something like that! I’ve seen people saying 27 weeks and people saying 28 weeks
Had a midwife appointment the other day and she said there was blood in my urine, she sent it away for testing so just waiting on results from that, it may be a water infection as I’ve had a few niggly pains too and a bit of lower back ache
Baby was measuring perfect
Then she listened to the heartbeat and it was the first time I’d heard it so I burst into tears! How embarrassing lol I made myself look like an emotionally unstable lunatic so the midwife starting discussing mental health with me and I had to explain to her there was really nothing wrong with me I was just being a big baby!
Hoping I get my urine test results very soon I don’t like the idea of having an untreated water infection!
Hope everyone is ok xx

Surely its quite common for woman to cry
I at least well up, but hold it back. Our hormones are all over the place and its just amazing anyway You should have said 'because you lot are sh*te i had to wait all this time to hear her heartbeat, whereas other places heard it much early on so i am late to the heartbeat show' Hopefully the blood is a quick fix issue x

Ha ha yes I totally should have said these are partly tears of frustration that I had to wait so long to hear her heartbeat when everyone else got to listen months ago! It was lovely though, I’m looking forward to hearing it again in 2 weeks time
My pram and ‘travel system’ is getting delivered on Tuesday too
it’s all starting to get a bit real 
Getting so nervous about labour now! Has anyone seen any good books or apps or anything which might be useful to a first-timer? Xx
