Well I've not felt any flutters today. I've not had my 20 week scan date yet. I'm staying yellow though but secretly think itvmight be another girl! Happy with either, just want a healthy baby. Xxx

 

[AnnaW]

We are staying team yellow - unless anyone persuades me otherwise between now and the 3rd March! My hubby is convinced it is a girl but I'm calling baby 'him' - I'm hoping I'm right!!! Xx

Daley: hope your baby is fit & healthy. All fingers & toes crossed for you.. Will be keeping an eye out for your update on Thursday xx

This week I've gone from nauseous 90% of the time to hungry 100% of the time. If I continue eating like I have done the last 2 days I'm gonna be the size of a whale by my due date!!

Haha! Me and hubby are the same and my scans the 3rd too!!

My hubby is convinced it's another girl and secretly I think so too but every time he relates to bud as she I correct him with he!

Just wanted to share this with you all http://www.pregnantchicken.com/preg...5/4/what-you-need-to-know-about-newborns.html even if you have children already it's worth a read, it's really well written and made me giggle. Love their t-shirts too but unfortunately American. xx

 

[Nikkinoodles]

My scan is 25th feb. Can't wait to find out. I think we'll end up with another girl. I'm desperate to buy cute lil boy clothes!!!! But happy either way as long as he/she is healthy! Xx

That was a brilliant read!!!! I was pretty much like this with my little girl and it may have taken us a while but she now has a bedtime and sleeps in her own little cot without a fuss. Haven't spoilt her at all, she must feel very secure knowing mummy and daddy will always fix her problems xx

Phoebe's mum: that's a fab link..
I got told by so many that LO sleeping on me was a bad habit.. I ignored them for the most part but it always nagged at me & ruined the fun of it I think. This time I'll have a 3 yo to contend with so this baby will be attached to me in a sling, boobies or bottle on tap, relaxing next to my bosom in the chaos of our household xx

Need the 'like' button again!! I was thinking a sling would be good, when I had dd there was all this hype about them being bad but I do think it would be useful. Can anyone recommend any slings??

 

[Nikkinoodles]

Ahhh... Pregnancy hormones are definitely getting me tonight. Actually crying because the item I ordered for my little girls first birthday which was 24th jan is still not here and won't be here til next week despite paying for it to be early. She doesn't have a clue as she's only one. But for some reason it's really upset me! Silly hormones!

Anyway... Sling wise, I got a wrap last time and it was great! Like a moby wrap but you can get cheaper ones which are just as good, of not better! Xx

 

[Capricorn]

I had a moby sling which was good for round the house (wouldn't wear it in public though as it's a wrap around one). Remember being very hot in it as well so me & baby will live in vests..I did panic about where baby's face was at all times but the more I wore it, the better i got at positioning him.
Also keen for other sling recommendations though xx

When are you due k8tblue? Let's hope we can both not give in on the 3rd!! I know what I'm like - I hate not knowing anything!

I couldn't love this article more haha it's fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing it! I've literally just heard about 'The Forth Trimester' from a friend of mine who is very organic and hippy dippy. Hadn't looked in to it yet but the idea of treating your baby as if it's still in the womb makes so much sense and is very appealing to me going to read more on it me thinks!

Hi ladies.. Sorry I've not been on, I've not been very well with a terrible migraine so avoided computers and phones! If anyone els is suffering from headaches I recommend those cooling gel head strips, soo good!

Lovely to read about movements and midwife appointments going well .. Daley il be thinking of you tomorrow.. Let us know how you get on and if you find out the gender

I've booked a private scan for the 8th feb.. My 20 weeks scan isn't until the 12th march, il be 21weeks so couldn't wait as my Doppler hire has expired now so I'm sending it back today- it's been a huge help!! I haven't had lots of movements.. Just the odd bubble now and again.

Anyone els being tested for diabetes ?.. I have my first GTT this Monday.. It's so boring! Hoping it's good news when I see my midwife on Wednesday

How's everyone els doing? All starting to feel better?x

 

[Vickilou25]

I have to have a GTT test between 26-28 weeks because of my BMI is .1 over what is recommended xxx

 

[sozzy]

Ahh yeah I unfortunately got diabetes on my last pregnancy.. And they felt it was due to family history.. My dad and sister having it so I'm testing twice this time round.. Apparently diet control can curb it tho here's hoping xx

My due date is 21st June but I have really short cycles so they think it might be earlier! I am going to try and stay strong I just hope baby doesn't flash us because I don't think I'd be able to keep it a secret from my family then
