Congrats on your pinks!

I have my scan today but I've lost the letter, do I need a full bladder?
I'm really nervous mainly for him but a little bit because last time they were a bit rude because of my size. Hoping I have someone nicer today

 

[Mictho29]

I had mine yesterday at 19 wks no need for a full bladder this time xx good luck hope all goes well xx

 

[fairyprincess]

Good luck Nicki, hope they're not rude! X

 

[Lulie]

Good luck Nicki, my letter didn't say anything about having a full bladder

 

[Nickinakinoo]

Here is my very uncooperative boy!

They need more images of his heart so going back in 2 weeks for another scan. She said everything looked find and His size is fine, not that she said how big he is. When do they start guesstimating size?

Cute scan pic Nicki.

I've been in so much pain and a lot of pressure down below lately. My pelvis is killing me and walking is already becoming hard. By evening I can hardly move off the sofa if I'm sat down for longer than 30mins and I constantly need to pee again but walking up and down the stairs is killing me! Feeling very sorry for myself tonight lol. I dread to think what ill be like when I'm bigger. Was gonna mention it to the midwife when I next see her but not due to see her until 28 weeks, 6 weeks away, so may get a GP app before then.

How is everyone? Xx

 

[Flo1]

How lovely, Nicki! Enjoy your rescan
Roxy, I fear I'm going the same way... Went shopping with my sister today and I feel the consequences of all the walking now. I went to look at my son and put him back right in bed (he almost fel out of it) and had so much pain doing that that I actually considered staying there for the night and not get up. Even after quieter days my OH has to help me get out of the sofa and I'm not even halfway (19+1 today)... It's terrible. But in August we'll hold our babies, forget all this and think it was worth it.

Nicki- lovely scan, same thing happened to me with the heart measurements so got to go back next Thursday X
Fcroxy- sounds uncomfortable! I've got the constant weeing but no pain. Hope baby moves soon and you get some relief x

 

[Lulie]

Ahh lovely scan Nicki!
I had a day or two with odd pains all over my back and pelvis and it's gone away again (for now) so I'm hoping it will be the same for you guys aswell. It seems for me keeping active might be the keep to keeping it at bay. I was alot better after doing 30 mins of prenatal yoga that I found on YouTube. Might be worth a shot!

 

[flexilexi394]

Nicki I had a re scan too! Naughty baby wouldn't show the lady his back lol xx

 

[Kholl]

Our scan is on Thursday! We won't find out the sex - we didn't with the other two either- but I'm still so excited to see the baby and make sure all looks good.

How's everyone feeling? I have wicked insomnia in pregnancy. Every time. It takes me 2-4 hours to fall asleep every night without fail no matter when I go to bed, then my boy is up at 5:30-6am every day. I'm tired but I've also been sleep deprived so many years I'm kind of used to it. The weather is also sunny and warm now so that makes an enormous difference!

 

[fairyprincess]

Aww Kholl, insomnia is the worst! Mine's on and off but I haven't got a lo to look after so can have a nap in the day if I need to. I was awake for hours last night as we stayed at a friends and couldn't get comfortable in a different bed. Their lb woke me up crying at 5:30am and DH just said this will be us soon and then promptly fell back to sleep! x

 

[fcroxy]

Good luck with your scan kholl. Do you have any feelings what baby could be? I honestly have no idea so either sex will be a surprise to me. Xx

 

[Nickinakinoo]

Evening ladies, you had a good weekend? I had to take a matress back to mothercare as I ordered a cot matress and we have a cot bed - I blame baby brain! But on the plus side we have chosen our pram, silver cross wayfarer in sky blue, hubby wants to order it now so I can't change my mind again! I feel upset and teary today but I think that's because I'm not sleeping either and I have to go back to work this week

Good luck with your scans! Is anyone heading to 3rd tri this month? Xx

 

[fcroxy]

When does tri 3 start Nicki? Is it 27 weeks? Xx

 

[Nickinakinoo]

I've seen 26 and 27 weeks so I don't really no! Still a little while away for me,

Think my hormones are getting the better of me, just had a complete meltdown about custom charges (on a replacement item that was faulty) admitted to hubby I hate being pregnant that got more upset because I didn't mean it like it sounded, I hate not being able to take my anti depressants, I hate feeling like I do without them and I hate that I need them to feel remotely ok.

On the plus side we ordered our pram today.

 

[Lulie]

Sorry to hear you had a rough day Nicki, hope you are feeling a bit better today. And congrats on ordering a pram! That's so exciting, what have you gone for? Still looking for one here.

Scan tomorrow and I'm suddenly terrified..comparing myself to others that I know who have had much bigger bumps than me at 19 weeks and have managed to convince myself all is not well with baby, it doesn't help that I haven't felt any proper movement yet either. Just keeping all fingers crossed that everything is OK with the little nugget. Constant worrying!

 

[Kholl]

Fcroxy- I am so convinced it's a girl I've even bought a couple girl things!! A dear friend is due with her first girl a couple weeks before I am due with this baby so if it's not a girl I'll give them to her.

Lulie one of my dearest friends barely looked pregnant at 40 weeks. She has a tilted uterus and an especially muscular one as well. Scans are always scary. It's like an std test. You could be a virgin and be like "crap WHAT IF I HAVE SOMETHING???" It's the nature of testing for anything- it feels like if you look, you'll find something wrong. Easier just not to look! Your scan will be great.

 

[Kholl]

Nicki I'm so sorry you're feeling bad. It's hard sharing your body on such an intense level. I've been pregnant, nursing, or both for just over 5 years nonstop and every day I think about what i eat or don't eat or take or don't take and on and on. I am so sorry you feel depressed it is the absolute worst. Hugs!

 

[fcroxy]

Sorry to hear your feeling so rubbish Nicki. Have you spoke to the midwife about how your feeling? She may suggest CBT or something similar to help.

Good luck with your scan lulie. Is this your first baby? If so movements are usually later. Or the placenta could be blocking movements if its anterior. As for bump size I wouldn't worry. Everyone carries different and your bump will probably pop soon enough.

Kholl, did you have gut feelings about genders with your other pregnancies and were you right? With my daughter I was convinced she was a boy up until about 3 days before the 20 week scan and then I dreamt I gave birth to a girl so was unsure but got told she was a girl at 20 weeks. This time I have no feelings really, pregnancy and symptom wise it is the same as my last pregnancy but now and again I have a feeling maybe its a boy? Still 50/50 on it tho. Think ill be generally surprised either way at birth.

How is everyone? I feel exhausted today, don't know why either as had a really lazy weekend and haven't been out far today. Harper will be going to bed soon and don't think ill be long after her tbh! Xx
