Hi Leoni! Good to hear from you! Yes you can eat shellfish as long as they're well cooked I'm jealous of your mussels now! Haha.

@EmilyMaria What was your ante natal class like?

Thank you for replying! It’s so confusing when you hear so many different views on what’s right etc. So thank you I can now enjoy them tonight (hopefully they stay down!!!) lol x

 

[CharliC]

@CharliC hope you are feeling better. I have had cramps that feel like period cramps on and off which is probably round ligament or stretching pains.

I've been feeling much less crampy today and baby has been super wriggly so feeling more confident it was just things moving about!!

@EmilyMaria What was your ante natal class like?

At my hospital the classes have been cancelled. It looks like at this stage I go to the clinic every 4 weeks for a checkup.

I'm going to watch this birthing class which is free though. I like the infomation on her blog. You can also sign up and get weekly exercise classes and more videos on pregnancy related topics.
Helping pregnant women have wonderful pregnancies and recover faster

Struggling to find clothes at the moment x__x I'm slowly growing out of my t-shirts and I'm sick to death of my maternity jeans falling down. I only wear them if we go outside and I have to have my husband's braces clipped to them haha. I've just been wearing pyjama bottoms inside but it's getting depressing.

I want to buy some maternity leggings but can't find any t shirt type tops that are long enough to go over my bum x__x Anyone had any joy in that department?

Sock I've just had a delivery of maternity stuff from George (Asda) and they're pretty good. Got some decent gym type leggings and a nice long stretchy top, maternity pjs, some lovely soft maternity/nursing bras and some bigger knickers they all seem pretty nice so might be worth a look

I've just pulled the trigger on two different styles of maternity jeans and now I'm thinking about getting some leggins to hopefully motivate me to get back into a regular exercise routine. My wardrobe is getting pretty dire at the moment outside of trackies to lounge around the house in.

19 weeks today and baby is the size of a Mango! I'm feeling quite a lot of kicks now, the baby's quite amusing. It goes quiet when anyone's talking or if I'm doing something but if I sit quietly or go for a walk, it starts kicking quite a lot. Yesterday I was getting my daughter to sleep and I got so many kicks, then sat in the garden and chatted to a friend for a hour and no kicks, came in the house to sit and watch TV and so many kicks again. Baby clearly just wants my complete attention!

My scan is in 6 days (not that I'm counting), I'm so impatient!!

Hope everyone is doing well x

Aww mango baby! I still can't get over the fact that we're all starting to have our twenty week scans! :O Are you going to find out what you're having?

Yeah we plan too. Haven't quite decided whether we will ask them to write it down so we can find out together or whether I will just find out and tell everyone. I had planned to surprise the kids but they'll be around as soon as I get home so I don't know anymore. How about you?

Yeah we're going to find out but will only tell very close family and friends to avoid being given anything pink (if it's a girl). That is how much I hate pink, haha.

We were the same with our daughter, we didn't want anything pink or too princess-y. Now at almost 3 she loves pink things, and frilly dresses despite trying to avoid them for as long as possible

This morning I was lying with my hand on my stomach and the baby kicked hard enough to make my hand move a few times. It's so cool! These babies of ours are getting big quickly now!!!

Hubby has been able to catch a kick here and there for the last week. Whenever bub is going crazy I grab his attention, but as soon as his hand is there all of sudden bub goes quiet. What a naughty baby.
