*****February 2019 mummies*****

Donna, I hope your nana is in the mend soon, families can be such a worry!!
 
He may how are you??

Donna, hope you got to go visit her, I’m sure that is exactly what she needs to feel better!

I felt baby kicking on the outside yesterday!! I can’t believe how fast this is going!
 
Kholl that’s so exciting! I’m only 3 days behind you and can’t wait for it. Had a few flutters a week or so ago but nothing since so must have been wind after all!!
I’m so jealous you can already feel it!! x
 
Played a few games of cards with my Nanna - she was very tired bless her but I think she's doing well all things considered.

Also went to see our friends for tea; haven't seen them in ages and they gave me some maternity clothes (I'm actually getting quite a few now but hoping that'll be good as gives me more choice with things to wear when I get bigger; I'm at that awkward stage where I'm not looking right in maternity clothes yet but also too big for a few of my normal clothes). We've already decided this won't be our last (just one more) so at least I know I'll get a second use out of them all if things go to plan as well.

Pennypie it could have still been movement - baby is still quite small at the moment with lots of room to move so you may have felt the movement but then they've moved to a position where you can no longer feel them.
I felt mine yesterday in the queue for the cinema; he or she was having a right little move around. I've not felt it since though but I'm not concerned as I know it's still fairly early for feeling anything.
 
Hope everyone is having a better week!
I've been not feeling to great but still huge improvement from Tri 1
Went shopping today for some maternity clothes and I wanted a cardigan and a hoodie however I came home with a box of 12 cookies and nothing else!! Think I will stick to online shopping from now on.

I’m really struggling with mat clothes shopping at the mo. Didn’t realise how few shops actually stocked them!
Going to a wedding in a few weeks and have nothing to wear, only seen a few online but all quite expensive (for something I will wear twice max).
Any suggestions Uk people?
Xx
 
Pennypie, even though they’re expensive, I ADORE the dresses from Isabella Oliver and they look fantastic post-pregnancy, too. The quality is fantastic and I have pieces that look as new now as they did 7+ years ago when I was pregnant with my first. You won’t regret that purchase!

Lynsey soooo glad you’re feeling better! I still have so many maternity clothes but I just can’t seem to get comfortable pants! I have one pair of full-panel jeans that are great but the rest just make me angry.

I just got this mat hoodie and I absolutely adore it, google “smallshow maternity fleee hoodie”, it’s the softest warmest thing and looks great on too (I got the maroon color).

Penny pie have you tried boohoo?
They have loads of maternity stuff on their website and some really nice occasion bits. Doesn’t break the bank either. X
 
I was going through the maternity stuff on ASOS last night. Great prices and lovely dresses and tops etc. I found so much more on there than was in the shops. I was so dissapointed with maternity clothes in store.

Thanks kholl will have a look I'm really wanting a nice comfy hoodie x
 
I've bought a couple of occasion dresses on eBay; good prices and most of them like new and people only tend to wear them once or twice if they have weddings or something to go to. I've got 3 weddings this time around - so have bought a few, the first one is only 5 weeks away I'm hoping I'm out of that awkward not looking pregnant but not fitting in my normal clothes stage by then.

Had my midwife appointment this morning and heard babies heartbeat, going strong and this one is def a wiggler - wouldn't stay still for her at first.
 
Hi girls, how are you all?

My bump has really popped now, and I am definitely feeling the first few flutters. Such a lovely feeling, I can't wait for them to get stronger:)
 
The flutters are the best! I am feeling lots of kicks on the outside, it's so wonderful. My anatomy scan is 2 weeks from Tuesday, I'm hoping to figure out a way to get insurance to cover it between now and then. And hoping everything looks good with baby, above all.

I am struggling, my sleep is utter sh*t, I have insomnia with pregnancy every single time (I'm an insomniac even when not pregnant, have been since I was a little kid) and it's been absolutely brutal. takes me hours to fall asleep, then I have a chunk of time in the middle of the night when I'm wide awake (1-2 hours minimum), and then I can rarely sleep past about 4am. it's really starting to depress me, I feel awful 24/7, exhausted beyond words. My husband works insane hours (for example, today he works 9am-3am, no joke, as he's catering an event) and I have no family here and no help with the kids (besides random babysitters). I want desperately to move back to California where my family is, but the cost of living there is beyond comprehension and my husband's job is here (he manages a bar, so he can't just transfer somewhere else). So I feel stuck, and more tired than I can bear, with no end in sight. It's really, really getting me down.

My youngest turns 2 tomorrow, so of course I'm reminiscing about her birth and how she'll now be a big sister... pregnancy feels like it takes forever and then the time just flies like I can't believe.
 
Ladies, how is everyone?

My 20-week scan is a week from Tuesday, 11 days away. I can not believe it’s already almost here! I am feeling so much movement every day, it is so wonderfully reassuring. I’ll be glad to have the anatomy scan done, too. I do have some anxiety about it, but am hopeful everything will look okay.
 
Morning Kholl, ooh not long until your scan now! I've got mine on the 20th of September, we're going to find out the sex of ours. :)

I'm just gone 18 weeks but I don't think I've felt any movement yet, it's still early I know, so hoping to feel something soon!

Bump wise, it is coming along nicely, I've more or less stopped sleeping on my front now and heartburn has become stronger for me.

How is everyone else doing at the moment? It's been pretty quiet on here lately. Xx
 
Hi girls
I'm doing good finally the sickness has gone! I'm so happy.
I have not felt movement. I was told at the 12 week scan that placenta was anterior so I'm not worried. I felt movement with my last 3 kids well before now so I feel like I'm missing out a bit :(
Finally sleeping better and enjoying food and getting my life back haha the only symptom I have just now is feeling tired easily.
X
 
Oh how exciting kholl. I booked to take the kids away on a short holiday so I had to move my scan date. My anomaly scan will not take place when I am 21+1
 
Hi all!

My anatomy scan is on the 24th of this month! Time is going to go by so slow because I'm dying to find out! I'm jealous of those who are feeling better and have their energy back. I'm still blah feeling and back to throwing up every morning. I do feel better during the day though and my appetite is back!

Have any of you been able to hear your baby's heartbeat with a stethoscope? Hubby and I swore we heard something, but the heart rate wasn't very fast so we were wondering if it was my own. But I was listening right by my pubic bone and it sounded like a horse galloping.

I want to see everyone's ultrasound pictures when they get their next scan!! How exciting <3
 
My midwife found the heartbeat straight away at my 16 week check up, but we haven't tried listening ourselves. I wouldn't want to worry myself by not being able to find it.

I've got so many maternity clothes as I'd bought stuff on eBay early on when I saw it come up and then my friend gave me some; I'm addicted though- I keep looking and need to stop myself from buying more.

2 and a half weeks until my 20 week scan; I can't wait. Hopefully the time won't go too slowly.

I'm feeling really good at the moment; other than feeling fat and the odd movement I don't really feel pregnant at the moment. Not complaining as I know soon I'll be tired again and feeling achey.

My colleague came in with her baby today and said I have a lovely bump and don't just look fat but I def feel like I look like I'm at that awkward stage where I don't look pregnant I just look like I've gained weight haha
Hope the rest of you are all okay
 
Donna I have the same problem with maternity clothes! I LOVE them, I absolutely do not need any more but I love getting new pieces!

My next prenatal appointment is tomorrow, then anatomy scan the next week!

I am starting to feel better overall (I'm sure I just jinxed myself), more energy for sure, which is such a relief.

How is everyone else?
 
Hi everyone....lovely to see all your updates! We'd gone a bit quiet for a mo then!

I am 16 weeks today :) have my midwife appointment tomorrow, so hopefully will hear the heartbeat. My flutters are getting a bit stronger, and I am very achy at the moment, real stretching pains, but I am seriously expanding so I'm not surprised!!

Lynsey, so pleased for you that you are finally feeling better!
