[Shanivy]

Lol I had a tin of Heinz tomato soup. Can't eat. This cold is killing me l! Think Id rather have my morning sickness back!

GG that dinner sounds lovely! I've not had pie in so long omg xx

Shep when dd was born they weren't even in rear facing car seats. So much is different in 4 years lol. Sounds like a nice day planned. I ordered these weekend box things for dd so we'll be doing them despite how awful I feel lol xx

Have a lovely weekend everyone. Gender scans start from next week eek!!

 

[Shanivy]

Just thought I would add mine has said to have whooping cough after 20 week scan. Not sure why things are so different in different areas.

Oh whereabouts are you?

 

[JemRose]

Shan with you on the only able to eat soup thing. I am so hungry but no appetite and can't stomach anything. Hate this cold! X

 

[Shanivy]

Ugh Jem. I'm totally feeling sorry for myself lol. I hate colds pregnant! Hope they don't last much longer for both of us Xx

pie looks lovely GG. I could quite fancy a pie but the pastry is a nightmare for my reflux atm

shanivy the car seat laws were all changing when my DD was a baby, it was so hard to keep up and know what I needed

crazy to think we'll soon be nearer tri 3 then tri 1

Morning everyone,

Happy weekend!! What are you all up to? I'm off to a panto tonight, my cousin plays in it every year so it's a tradition to go, mad to think I may not go to the next one as little one will be here!!

Think I'm also coming down with something, sore throat started yesterday and I seem to have abit of a cough today!! Hope it's nothing that's going to make me feel awful. Are there any throat losengers we can take?

Anyway hope you all have a good weekend what ever you are doing xx

Well no heartbeat today. A bit gutted. OH came and sat outside just incase and it didn't get done and with all the other stuff I forgot.

I met my other midwife today and she's lovely. She's from Belfast too so that was weird. Literally knew all the same places I did lol. She's the one into the homebirths so we discussed it a bit today. I'm so tempted with the pool at home seriously. She doesn't think I'll move from the green pathway so wants to come out when I'm a bit further on to go through it all and see what I think

BP was good. She's not concerned about my weight at all. Which is good because they were the two things I was worried about. But said my sugars in the last bloods were a bit high for my weight so she wants me to do the gtt on 6 Feb I think:/


Also got booked in for whooping cough for wed? Anyone else?

Mentioned the tightening and she said it could be my uterus still moving out of my pelvis. And that it's probably nothing. But if it happens another 3 times today to phone triage and get checked because it's a bit too early for Braxton hicks? I don't know what to think about that

I nearly had a heart attack when you said no heartbeat! omg!! It took me a moment to realise that you meant they didn't let you listen to it! I'm surprised because they let us hear it at our 12 week scan thumping away! I am sure you will get to hear it soon tho hehe

I was just reading over the whooping cough and flu jab stuff last night. need to get those organised.

My mum has found a place in Belfast for a private scan at 16 weeks to find out gender! since my nhs 20 week scan is actually taking place at 22weeks due to no availability of appointments I think Im going to ring the place on monday and see what we can get!!

I'm starting to get cramping again like at the beginning, and if I move funny or sneeze I feel like someone is stabbing me in the uterus! I don't know what anyone means by tightening but what does it feel like? Maybe it's the same thing ?

Im confused by tightening too haha but i get that stabby feeling, like if i move suddenly or cough or sneeze its like someone just stabbed me with a knife and lasts about 5 seconds then eases. I end up paralysed for 3-4 seconds haha xx

Yep, definitely round ligament pain for the stabbing one!

I had the same heart stopping moment Laura when I first read Shans post about no heartbeat, lol. Needed a cup of tea after that! Lol

Hope you're all having a lovely Saturday so far. I booked Dan a riding lesson this morning and he's improved so much since the last one bless him. It makes me so proud and we're so excited that when this little one is riding, we can all ride and enjoy it together

Oh ffs I didn't even notice how that looks. I'd edit it but I've been told stop editing my posts haha! We heard it at my private scan but I thought they'd do it at the 16 week appointment which apparently isn't done as standard anymore like it was with dd

I'm using babybond and theyre fab. The woman doing my last scan was the same woman from the hospital so I trust them. Plus they gave me a free 4d and 3d pics because baby was being awkward. They're doing a sale on prices for belfast just so you know hun. Ultrasound direct. Just my personal opinion but id go at 18 weeks instead of 16 Xx

 

[Shanivy]

Sorry about the dodgy post lol I added it in and didn't notice how it sounds when read tbh.

GG it looks beautiful and I'm jealous because I'm dying over here and can't taste a thing! Hope the kitchens going well, though with your food I'd be surprised if it wasn't. Also you & Dan are seriously cute lol xx

Hi guys. I haven't had any ligament pain yet like in the beginning but definitely do get a bit tighter when coughing, bending etc. But in the last two days I think I'm definitely feeling the baby moving? Which is crazy as it's my first and I'm only in my 15th week. I felt like a little nudge yesterday evening and then in the night several times a bit of a flip-flop or bubble-popping feeling between my belly button and public bone region. It's definitely not gas! Is this even possible though? So early?? My sister is 19 weeks, slimmer than me and only thinks she felt the baby once, a couple of weeks ago.

Thought I'd upload a bump picture.

 

[JaneyJan]

I feel massive!

I feel massive!

Ah, I love that bump pic.

Just wonderful. Xx

It's actually possible to feel quickenings from 13 weeks on. I started feeling mine at 15 weeks but now, week 17 it's really obvious. Xx

God I would kill for some prosecco tonight. I don't miss the alcohol as such I'm not a huge drinker any way but I do like the taste of prosecco and I'm in need of that nice bubbly refreshing taste. I can't seem to quench my thirst today. starving right now to but I'm trying my best to wait until 5pm before I make dinner or I'll snack loads before bed and feel gross for it

been sat for a little while feeling baby move which is nice as I've had a couple of days with nothing. I'm look if forward to when the movement is more regular even though I know that's a good 6 weeks off

I made a start on sorting DDs baby clothes today, I can't believe she was ever that small, I laughed though I bought a few tiny baby bits as the midwife predicted she'd be between 6 and 7lbs but she didn't wear them as she was born at 8lb 4oz. atm I don't feel like this baby will wear them either

Schloer is my go to if I need something bubbly and refreshing. Love it.

I am looking forward to the more regular kicks and feelings as well.

I am not feeling great this afternoon. Just came over super tired about an hour ago. It feels like my body is just shutting down though. Hoping an hour's nap now will help.
