Thank you I have a strong feeling I am having a boy this time, although I have been more sick I feel there are so many similarities to my boys pregnancy. Only time will tell as still staying team yellow can’t wait to see all your scans too xxx

I was going to say your scan looked like wee boy but then I don't know what to look for just thought that...i want to stay team yellow but OH would like to know so will see if I cave or not next week. Hope not haha xxx

I could be so easily swayed as would love to know for definite but I am also pretty sure when they were measuring the femur yesterday I saw baby boy bits, as with having one of each and had quite a few scans I am fairly sure at what to look for haha but that could just be me being over confidant in myself haha. We are more than happy either way, although I said a girl would be most practical due to my dd bring a July baby for clothing and also she will turn three this July so they would be closer in age. That being said she wants a boy, so regardless we will all be over the moon to just have a baby here safe, come summer time xxx

It is great you have boy and girl already. Ah haha I think with amount of scans you will know exactly scans. It's great you have the positives for either boy or girl. I originally thought for me a boy at first scan but now I am so unsure and swaying to girl but could be either. Time will tell if I either give in, stay strong or see something in scan haha. Xxx

 

[Jac2019]

Are any of you ladies having cravings? My first pregnancy I was always craving savoury food and anything with Vinegar on it.. This time I am craving sweet things. Seems the myth of craving sugar meant a girl didn't work for me as my first pregnancy was opposite. Xxx

 

[mummybear2]

No cravings. But I definitely have my appetite back. All I want to do is eat. I still feel nauseous if I go too long without eating so it makes me want to eat even more... all of the food. Sweet or savoury. I will eat it! Haha. I’ll be the size of a house come July!

 

[Jac2019]

Haha you just made me laugh @mummybear2. You have even more of a good excuse though as you have 2 wee babies needing fed. My appetite is back and same eat smaller but more as start to feel sick or sore head if don't eat for hours. My bump is now really coming out so I think I will be size of house by July too xxx

 

[mummybear2]

I just had my dinner and I already want something else!
To be honest I’m so happy I am able to enjoy food again, not so much enjoying the bloating and indigestion but oh well.

Ahaha at least I won’t be alone then!
My bump is for sure much bigger this time around but I think it being my second pregnancy and there being two I shouldn’t be too worried yet

 

[Jac2019]

They say alot start showing from even 12weeks or before with 2 and as you have your wee girl too, I wouldn't worry either.
Yeah it was great the minute I stopped feeling sick by the smell of food and can enjoy again. I got another 2 months supply of omeprazole from the doctor today. Happy as that helps so much with my acid reflux.
I am the same always after dinner still looking for something else. Normally sweet things. Try to cut down amount of sugar as much as poss but hard when all I want xxx

 

[Kiwi_53]

I don’t think I really am craving anything, but don’t have the same aversions I had before which is so nice to be able to eat again like you are saying. I am still quite sicky feeling, but haven’t been too bad, although this morning I vomited for the first time in a few weeks, but have felt ok since so hoping just a one off.

I still have barely any bump, they even commented on it yesterday at my appointment, but I am tall and baby is still laying very low down and is transverse just now, so hasn’t even really made it out of my pelvis haha. Xxx

You are so lucky.. I would love tiny bump as I just feel heavy and fat just now.
I just think after struggling to eat anything is nice for you but for me it is just sweet I crave constant. Trying to still eat healthy enough. Xxx

 

[Kiwi_53]

It has its advantages I guess, like still fitting into all my clothes and being able to have nobody make comment about pregnancy unless they know haha, but at the same time, I would love a wee bump just to have anything there haha but early days yet, it might happen at some point am happy anyways as long as baby is happy and healthy in there, even if I can’t outwardly see it xxx

 

[Jac2019]

Yeah main thing is baby is happy. I'm at that not nice stage where you look like have a jiggly tummy not pregnant but could be kinda way. Haha. I don't want to buy maternity clothes as my jumpers are baggy enough and wear leggings comfy enough just now. Only thing was my bras I had to get the non wire bigger ones as they were only thing just couldn't wear xxx

 

[mummybear2]

Oh my 4 year old has been testing my patience all day!! She isn’t even asleep yet I’m ready to run away!

Woke up feeling so nauseous this morning and was sick for the first time in ages. I’m just so bloody knackered too. I’ve got no energy for my daughters attitude today and boy does she have attitude.
Stupidly let her stay up late to finish watching the new Aladdin with me. Silly me.

None of my jeans fit me anymore. They stopped fitting really quickly actually. Must have been the bloat! I have one pair of maternity jeans and a pair of jeggings in a bigger size I can still squeeze into. So I will for sure need more! All my tops and jumpers are fine.
My bras are still ok and if I need to I think I have a few of a bigger size left over from before I stopped breastfeeding and went on a diet. So I shouldn’t have to buy anymore until I stock up of nursing bras again.

With my first @Kiwi_53 I didn’t show until closer to 26/28 weeks and even then I didn’t get very big. I have quite a long torso and my DD was only 6lb6 when she was born. I remember wishing at the time I had a bigger bump! Besides growing a tiny human being the only thing I really LIKED about pregnancy was my bump. First time in my life I didn’t feel ‘fat’ or self conscious about my weight.
This time will be completely different though!

Hope everyone else is keeping well cx

 

[Jac2019]

I feel so sorry for you @mummybear2. I can only imagine the attitude you are getting and trying your patience esp when feeling sick. I hated anyone even talking to me when nauseated.

That's great you have bigger bras I got a couple bigger ones but I found the maternity bra more like a top the most comfortable.

Hope your daughter is sleeping now and you are getting rest xxx

 

[Jade jones]

bless ya mummy bear hope things are easier tomorrow! i tend to wear sports bras atm very comfy
i have taken a real liking to cheese lol and eggs.... although i cant stand the smell of sensydone my ot had to change his tooth paste made me feel sick XD

Anyone else starting to feel uncomfortable in their belly? I feel like I'm being stretched, still not felt movement yet so a little bit nervous about Monday but definitely have a bump now so hopefully little one growing ok.x

Yes I am exact same... It is like the stomach is pulling too much when not ready.. Uncomfortable especially at night when more water retention.
Ohhh look forward to hearing how it goes. I am in Tuesday nervous too and still so unsure if finding out or not. OH is a yes I was a ko mow just so unsure xxx

That's the perfect description of how it feels! We're definitely finding out, well if baby is playing ball that is! Keep having dreams it's one sex then the other, getting so impatient now as I want to buy loads!!!xx

That's when we will start to buy after this scan as will be nearly 21weeks and hoping for the best if all okay from that scan.
It is very uncomfortable isn't it? Just like someone pulling your skin but it isn't ready to stretch that much.
Ohhhh so hope baby let's you see what you are hashing excited for you to find out... That's what my OH is saying means we could buy more and bond more if we knew... He knows how to talk start to talk me round. Part of me really really wants a surprise then part of me thinks if isn't bad to know and he really wants to so maybe let him have this as sometimes think he feels a little left out and worried xxx

 

[mummybear2]

So uncomfy. I can feel it now when walking, like a stitch in the side of my bump. Will be all those ligaments stretching. 18 weeks today! I only have a max of 20 weeks left now. How crazy! I can’t believe I’ll have two newborns in a few months time!
