Thank you mum2b - I'm giving myself a week at most till I completely pop out!
How've you been? Looking forward to your updated bump pic xxx

Aw weezy, so hard with people talking all the time :-/ DH has had to repeat about 10 times tonight that I have always had 'big' bumps and that's just how my body is in pregnancy and there is nothing wrong ... It is lovely how I got 2 people asking me when I was due today when out and about and I just looooveeee the world knowing I am growing a baby

I still have my belly button looking the same, but mine is quite a deep sort of one so that's usually only flat around term , you will most certainly get yours back in the summer though I have lost my lady bits a while back and finding it hard to keep it trimmed , goodness knows what is like lol x

 

[Weezy]

He's so right though, everyone is sooo different even just looking at bumps on here it's clear to see how much it varies. I just feel like, I know I'm big, but I've not put on too much actual weight if that makes sense, so leave me be
I'm considering pregnancy swimming classes though as am concerned what I'm going to be left with, hmm.
Yep my lady garden has not seen much attention recently, so had poor OH painting my toenails earlier in the week! Get used to it pal, your on toenail painting duty all summer xxxx

I'm ok thanks hun! Still got a cold and was sick yesterday morning but I'm plodding on! Getting nervous for my scan Thursday now :-/
Unlike u I have put on too much weight and although I have bump I feel fat too! .....Think I'm going to try swimming as well- just need to get well enough really!! Xxx

 

[Kaffee]

Morning all hope you're all OK.

Leesey read your journal. You poor thing on both the band diagnosis and your MIL. Hope you get some answers from your doc.

Wheezy - good bumpage.

20wk scan at 11.10 today, still haven't decided whether to find out gender, more concerned that baby is OK. Also worried I might pee my pants as the letter says to drink pint & half beforehand and not go to the loo. I'm peeing every 30mins at mo!

 

[Zoe S]

hey guys, I'm trying to catch up on everything ive missed since moving but there is so much :/ just thought id pop a message on to say in still about I'm just been so busy with the new house and unpacking trying to fit all my stuff from my huge kitchen into the new tiny one! Removals weren't very helpful when we got to new house that didn't help! But we are getting there slowly i don't have proper internet till 17th April so i will try and pop in on my phone here and the to say hi and keep updated with everyone! Feel like I've been useless on here lately! Hope everyone is doing ok and glad so see many have had good gender scans i have mine 2 weeks today hubby is so excited as i have given in and said we can find out everyone seems 50/50 but i have the overwhelming feeling its a boy and hubby says girl so we shall soon find out! Mummy-midwife don't worry about your bump im also huge and lost my lady bits cant reach my toes or see them and think I'm gunna get a popped out belly button as i had hernia in mine when i was little it has already started! Will post a picture when I have internet xxx

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Aw Kaffee so thinking of you and I hope you are just finishing your scan just now and that everything is ok... Wondering whether you decided to find out !!!!!

Weezy, I feel more positive about my bump today, looking in the mirror is not really that massive is just a normal bump for me lol I think I have my fears of baby being early and people telling there is no way I will go to term being this big just validated my fears... But I will forget my in laws comments, I think they know I worry and do it on purpose :-0

I managed to paint my toe nails last week for yoga class but it was like a contortionist , will ask my 5 year old daughter to paint them from now on as she is really good at it and DH wouldn't even know what to do with the nail polish!

Zoe, sounds like you have been so busy, I moved houses when I was pregnant last time and it was a challenge :-/ hope you get settled in quickly and that you get your internet soon too , can't wait for your bump update pic xxx

Thank u mummy midwife

Zoe- lovely to hear from u! Hope u get sorted and settled soon in the new place

Kaffee- was thinking of u this morning coz I thought it was your scan today! Hope all went well?

Still counting down to mine- 12pm Thursday..... Its my birthday Saturday and if I can find out baby is all ok it would b the best birthday pressie ever

Side note- went and got new bras this morning- 36E!! Never in my life did I think I would have boobs this size! Crazy!! Xx

 

[Kaffee]

Hi all. Scan was great. It was eye watering with full bladder, she let me go for a wee halfway through and baby started kicking about afterwards - I didn't feel it at all, as I have an anterior placenta and baby is facing my back so is kicking a different way.

Soooooo we flipped a coin in the end to decide.......it told us not to find out.... both of us went "oh" - which made us realise we wanted to know so we did and I'm team...........................Blue - it was very obvious, the sonographer even said he was showing it off for us - OH was like "that's my boy" afterwards!!

Told my mum who squealed down phone, think she's pleased as has 2 granddaughters, she's now off on a shopping spree. Have texted my sister to say "we know what we're having do you want to find out?" but will leave the choice to her. Not going to tell anyone else though - even though the lying will be sooo hard.

 

[mum2b410]

Congrats hun!! Pleased all is well and anterior placenta explains not feeling much! Lovely u both realised how much u wanted to know! Enjoy shopping

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Been to midwife today, and I am measuring , wait for this one .... 5 weeks ahead! So a big bump indeed, though not worrying at this point as not much would be wrong size wise this early, midwife just laughed :-D getting my mat B 1 in 3 weeks when I next see her.

Oh yay Kaffee, congrats on your little boy having a boy is such fun, my Aaron and I have such a strong bond no wonder your mum is happy with her 1st grandson. So glad baby is well and that you now know why you haven't felt much kicking.

Mum2b, a birthday spent knowing all is well with baby will be indeed a great pressie, roll on Thursday.

Anyone suffering from lower back pain and front pelvic bone pain? X

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Evening ladies, hope everyone ok.

Well I've been in the loft/attic at mums today, 1 cuz my sister wanted her baby chair swing thing, and 2 to see what was up there baby stuff wise.

Well there's the cot ( mine from when I was a baby) a cot mattress, a baby bath, a Moses basket with mattress, & a baby walker - winner I don't have to purchase any of these now - they are all bagged up and labelled and in pristine condition. Everything apart from the cot was what my eldest sister had for her girls 19 & 15 yrs ago. My lil sis wouldn't use any of it when she had her first as she is quite snobbish about things and has brought new for her daughter who's 10wks old when she brought new for her other daughter who's only 4.

The way I see it is there's nothing up with any of it so I'm having it ha ha. Just a wardrobe for the nursery to get and all th big stuff is sorted.

OH mum txt yday to say hope my grandson is doing well - seriously woman I don't know what it is and I don't care, but just to piss her off I hoping it's a girl ( I'm not finding out and scans next Monday). Although OH said to me today whilst he had my niece on his lap - I'd love it be a girl as I've already got a son, so be nice have a pink one, though again he isn't that bothered lol.

Loving your bump pics lady - so wish I could join in but alas I still just look like I've piled the weight back on ha ha.

Sorry for the essay xxx

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

Good score with the baby stuff out the loft! I would use it if it was there as well. I got my Moses basket off eBay for £10 and it's gorgeous, hardly used, just need to wash all the bits in a bit of vanish (i've developed a thing for really white whites) it doesn't need it as it's cream but even so! Once saved a fortune getting stuff off eBay and Facebook pages, I wud recommend it to anyone!

 

[Lanny1981]

Thanks mrs m, - I was well impressed - one less thing worry about.
Sis is saving all the neutral clothes what Luna has grown out of, and some of the pink stuff just in case lol.
Got an £800 pram for £40 off someone OH worked with it was 18months old and again is in pristine condition.
I'm all for a bargain me, love lookng on the Facebook pages too ha ha xx

Congrats Kaffee, surprised that you had to have a full bladder though, I was told I didn't need to for my scan? Congrats on team blue

Mummymw - you have an amazing bump, although you are measuring ahead now can that change as you go on or will you always measure ahead?

Mum2b - sorry you are still suffering with your cold and being sick, hope you feel much better very soon.

Missed my weekly dose of OBEM last night so going to watch that in a min before I start work! I am wondering if I have an anterior placenta or whatever it is called as I am not feeling any movements yet, although it may well still be too early? Scan on Friday, eek, excited and nervous at the same time! I don't really mind what I am having but starting to verge on hoping for a boy as y husband would be over the moon. Grateful for whatever we are lucky enough to be given though! Have a good day everyone x

 

[donnah]

Ooh and loving my 20 week baby pic in my footer thing, much better than the 19 week one!

 

[Mummy_midwife]

Hey Donnah, not long til Friday and you can hopefully find out then what you are having and where your placenta is I am very excited for all you ladies with scan this week.

I am starting to feel nervous nervous about mine on Tuesday; so far all the scans have been lovely so I am really hoping it continues this way!!!!!

I think my bump will even out size wise, it was all looking well just as it should with baby size and fluid etc at 17 weeks so I know it is nothing to really worry about... Most things that could be 'bad' and make your uterus bigger doesn't happen this early in pregnancy anyway so I just have a big bump lol

Did you enjoy OBEM? I felt so sorry for the woman with the 'breech' , what a carry on just as you are about to deliver baby :-/ Hope you too are having a nice day
