Lots of team blues!

HI ladies, just checking in. Still feeling sick and miserable lol.

Congrats on all your gender results! Boys are amazing!! I wouldn't mind another one but everyone is telling me girl because of how ill and spotty I am! Nice!

Starting to feel little kicks now...wonderful!

Lots of team blues!

Congrats on your blue bundle news! Honestly, we were a little disappointed when we were told it was blue. But Oliver is our world now and a very loving little man.

How are you feeling about the news now? x

 

[MrsS143]

I'm more accepting of it now Bonfire Bride
Still a bit sad but only because i love girly clothes and pink and frills and girl names

I just need to get my head around winkys and boys toys and blue

We've started referring to him as his name which helps

I think once hes born itll be a null point
Those feelings will just dissolve away id imagine (i hope) xxxx

Yesterday and today was really weird
My shape has totally changed
I pull my tummy muscles in , i can feel then sucking in... but nothing actually happens! !!

I feel really fat overnight
Annoyingly i have a bit of a pouch so rather than it looking like a bump its lile really bloated/fat with a saggy belly drooping at the bottom

I just bought new swimming cossies for going on holiday this week and they're snug already

Morning all! List should be all updated now, I think!

Annoyingly i have a bit of a pouch so rather than it looking like a bump its lile really bloated/fat with a saggy belly drooping at the bottom

I have the droopy bit at the bottom too - I ended up buying one of those stretchy support bands, and it really helps both the appearance of the bump (yes, I'm that vain!) and also stopped it from rubbing on the elastic of my knickers (my knickers won't stay up anymore and keep rolling down. gah.)

hahahahaha - brilliant! thanks for sharing xx

 

[MayBMore]

Ah lots of baby boys on the way for our gang! Cute Ladies don't worry about the pouch bit I reckon it's just there to be filled with baby soon without causing an additional stretch - bonus x

 

[Bunnykins]

Try a bump band like Petchy, I have one as my tummy is quite pouchy but also I'm clinging on to my jeans and the bumpband covers the gape where they are being held closed by and elastic band lol. They really do make your bump look more bump like and are so comfy as they stop the heavy feeling as it all feels so supported. I got mine off amazon.

 

[KHTW]

If I may quote Tesco... every little helps! If there is a slightest change this thing can make you more comfortable - buy it! x

2 more days till the scan!!!!!!!

 

[Bunnykins]

I just need to get my head around winkys

Lol you will never get used to winkys I'm still baffled!!!! I'd just got used to the baby erections when changing his nappy only to enter the toddler inquisitive stage where he literally cannot keep his hands off it we've had the chat about winky etiquette but don't want to create any unnecessary hang ups for him so for most part we just let him be, I direct him to his dad when I feel out of my depth lol!!!!

 

[Bunnykins]

Just got a letter about my downs blood results it says I'm low risk 1 in 350. I was really worried when they couldn't check the nuchal translucency on the scan so it's nice to know I won't need any further tests!

 

[MrsS143]

Mine was like 1 in 50000 or something i think
Are you older bunnykins?

 

[MrsS143]

Where can i get a bump band?
Would body control pants not do the same?

 

[MayBMore]

hmmm is a bump band like a piece of stretchy material you wear over jeans?

Eeeek exciting KH...mines 3 days away..normally it would have taken over my thoughts but it's my daughters 2nd birthday tommo so I've been distracted by that this week

 

[Bunnykins]

I'm 36 so I think it's a pretty average low risk result for my age.

A bump band is just a band of elasticated material that goes round your tummy area, mine sits over my tummy under my top but over the top of my jeans and my bum. I use mine to cover the gap where my jeans fly is open and to keep my trousers up andsupport my bump, it's pretty useful and much confirm than control pants as covers the whole bump. I got mine off amazon it comes in 4 sizes and can get in white, beige or black.

My scans Friday! Won't be long now.

I had a minute spot of blood on my pants today & panicked! I think I must have pulled a hair & had a wee spot burst (doesn't stop the panic right enough). Lying in couch the now & baby's been kicking away

How's everyone else today? Xx
