Same GG. I've bought some clothes now, nappies, wipes, new digital thermometer, bibs, muslins etc. Little things just. Picked my pram but not bought it, meant to get a few things in already but haven't yet. I'm not too bothered there's plenty of time. Way less stresssed than last time now

To Jem, Laura, Fela honestly you'll all be fine. Every ftm feels like this. Don't stress about any of it. Buy what you'd like but don't stress too much about the what ifs and reviews etc. Babies need very little in the beginning and anything you are unsure of or forget you can always get once they're here. The minute you see the baby you'll wonder what you were so worried about in the first place. Nobody can look after your baby better than you. Xx

KH good luck for tomorrow. I can't wait to know what baby is :pink: :blue: xx

Shep sounds like a lovely weekend planned enjoy!! Xx

Dd isn't too bad tonight tbh. Even managed some food so I'm hoping whatever it was wasn't an actual bug. I bought stuff in to bake the other day (told you how bad I am at baking it's literally rice crispy buns smarties cakes etc) and she asked could we do it tomorrow. She also has a weekend box left to do. So I have my fx my weekend is a little salvageable haha

Have a nice weekend girls!

Thanks shan :) I'm feeling a lot better after all the kind words and reassurances from you ladies and had a huge talk with my mum and husband where I told them how I've been feeling and they both laughed hysterically, said I was adorable and I ended up laughing too haha

I genuinely think that the weather influences my moods way too much. This whole winter I've felt awful. Then add pregnancy hormones I've cried at least 3 times per day if not more.

Today I woke up to a bright sunny summer-is-coming feeling day and I feel fantastic. Really glad our baby will be born in July. I think I'll be less at risk of post natal depression that way :(unfortunately after the past 2 years I'm at risk x

Aw that's so great you feel better Laura. This winter has been crap so I'm sure it would interfere with your moods. My depression was always worse in the winter too. Add in hormones and first tri crap it's easy to bring yourself down over every little thing and just let the stress pile up.

Fx you'll be okay with pmd, you aren't in denial over your risk over having it. And even if you did get it, it's treatable and not the end of the world anyway hun. I can't wait for you to start getting to feel baby etc. Don't forget to enjoy your pregnancy because honestly once baby is out you'll miss being pregnant with them lol. Nobody gets to experience our babies like we do Have a nice weekend lovely xx

I agree with shanivy Laura its really good that you're aware and honest enough to know you're at risk. I think following my traumatic Labour Labour last time I suffered mild PND or PTSD but didn't speak up as I didn't really know what was wrong. this time I flagged up straight away that I suffer with anxiety now and could be at risk. the midwife has be great about it

my husband suffers with seasonal affective disorder, we'd been together a long time before we realised what it was, it's hard for him working on his own a lot in the cold and dark but now we make sure to have lots of days out and social activities which does help.

Thanks shep! Yeah I have to be realistic now after we just had 2 years of the worst times of our life. It was horrendous and I fellapart and was very down. Couldn't get out of bed or anything most of the time.

I know I'm not on full par yet. I don't feel as strong as I was before mentally and the slightest knock and I'm a mess so I just have to prepare in any way I can to avoid pnd haha xx

Thank you all! Scan was OK, baby worked with us nicely and it only took a minute or so to get the potty shot.

DD was not amused that some strange woman was touching my belly with a stick! She also still has no idea that there is a baby in my belly. I swear she is clever lol x
 
Haha have you told her she's getting a sister? Glad the scan went well. They'll be so close with the age difference, two little sisters! Xx

Ah, a girl...how lovely. I'm sure she'll live having a little sister when old enough to boss her around lol.

Hope you're all well ladies. I've had a busy but brilliant day today. Went to see one of my closest friends this afternoon who is being treated like shit by a woman that's moved onto the farm to rent part of it. She's treated my friend like shit. She arranged something today with a famous rider who I happen to be really good friends with. My friendvsaid asked to stay away as this rider shouldn't have to see other non competitive riders!!!

So, I told said famous friend Is be there. She recently gifted me one of her horses so I asked if she could bring his passport. I stayed well out of the way, my friend stayed out of the way. Clinic finished, famous friend called my name, literally as it finished, she didn't stop to talk to the bitch...just said, "thank you, do you want to get my money sorted and I'll come find you". Then ran over, gave me and Dan a hug and said, "You must be Ally, so good to meet you" really loudly. It was so fucking funny. Then the bitch offered her a coffee and she said, "no thank you but I try to keep business and pleasure separate or I never get to see my friends so I'm going for coffee with Cheryl, Ally and Dan".

Honestly cannot tell you how funny and satisfying it was. The bitch was well and truly stumped. Was it childish to enjoy it? Yes. But I really don't care. She's making life for my friend a daily battle and struggle and she's a stuck up cow. She got what she deserved today...a lesson in never believing you're the only person to know famous people...in fact, those you look down on May just know them a lot fucking better!!!

Sounds very satisfying :) sometimes people need to get taken down a notch... you’re doing them and the world a favour in the long run!

Spent some time in the bedroom today stripping wallpaper. Loads of stuff to get done before the baby arrives so we thought we’d better get a head start!

That sounds extremely productive! I'm now regretting offering a friend a lift home from the pub tonight. Not really regretting it, he's completely blind and his mum who usually picks him up is I'll so I said if he could get to the pub, I'd take him home. Then I finished at 9.30 in the pub, went to get a few little bits I need for tomorrow's carvery, came home and made the mistake of sitting down and remembering I have to be up early for a bloody long day. Oh well...got Monday off so don't be surprised if I don't post anything until late morning! Lol
 
Hi guys. Just catching up on everything the last day or so. Ladies, I'm so tired. Worked 48 hours this week. Long day on Wednesday and then 3 night shifts since Thursday. I finish in the morning (on my break now). Got Sunday to catch up on sleep, training Monday morning and then back for another 3 nights from Wednesday.

I've been feeling a little bit panicky and a little even sad. So I was feeling the baby super early (15w3d today)... last week I felt it every night kicking/turning when I'd wake up in the night. It was so obvious and definitely not gas. Even the midwife agreed and said it was totally possible. But seems to have dropped off now, not felt anything really for the last couple of days. Maybe I've just been sleeping so deeply cuz of tiredness that is not really waking me up. I know it's normal but I miss it!

Then panic/sad because my bump is absolutely exploding. Just in the last few days I think it's having a growth spurt. Tightness, pressure, and a uniform that barely fits, I'm showing at work now. Part of me feels happy about it but it's also a shock how big it is already and I'm not even halfway through! Feeling heavy and... Stretchmarks are starting! NoooOoo! I've been using loads of creams and secret saviours and a bump band on top and I'm getting thick, horrible stretchmarks! I'm thinking if this what is like already, I'm young to look like I've been attacked by a tiger by the end of this pregnancy!

Conclusion: I'd like the stretchmarks to stop and to feel the baby more.... Sigh. Like you said Laura, I'm struggling a bit as well to feel like there really is a baby in there which is why I'm finding out what I'm having. But still got a month to wait. Is your gender scan 7th march too??

yikes I'm not surprised you're tired that's a lot of hours you're putting in. what do you do?

try not to worry about movement, you've said yourself your uterus feels like it's changed a lot the last few days so baby has probably just found itself a new comfy position facing inwards for now

I thought I was really lucky last pregnancy at 40 weeks I had lots of stretch marks in my boobs but none on my tummy, but by the time I gave birth 9 days later I had loads. they've never really bothered me and they do fade away to silver. I had a lovely moment this week, my old ones have started glowing red/purple again and DD noticed and asked what the worms on my tummy were, I explained and she giggled for ages and ran her fingers over them laughing that she'd made them. you hear of mum's saying they're proud of their stretch marks etc and while I'd always been in different to mine and just seen them as something I had, DDs reaction did give me a sense of pride

Mexico I'm the opposite end to you, technically a June mummy but I'm sure mine will come in July haha
