Aw wow, I can't wait till I'v heard baby's heartbeat which will be on the 5th may :) excited. I'm convinced that I'm carrying a boy, X
 
I bought a bump to baby book but a smaller hard back. Jacksons was massive and takes up so much room!

I think the HB was the only correct "old wives tale" for me, the rest all says girl - and he was a boy.

I think they all sound like a train to me :shock: Ive not heard mine recently must get the doppler out again. I dont like to use them too much, esp all the scans I will have had too, plus we will hear it on Friday with MW at my 16 week appt. :shock:

I don't know if it's different in different areas but I've been told where I live they don't listen for HB until 24 week mw appointment.

I downloaded an app last night and think I've found it though :)
 
So after two and a half weeks off work for Easter I went to put my trousers on yesterday morning and they looked like this...!
Is my belly meant to grow that big that quickly?! These trousers always used to be pretty loose around the waist before!

a couple of you have mentioned a 16w MW appointment, I haven't been told about any MW appointments at this point (I've had my dating scan that's it) should I have a MW appointment booked in?
 
My midwife has told me to book in with her at 16 weeks once I have had my scan on Tuesday x


 
I got booked in for my 16 week app at my booking in appointment. Turns out I'll be 17 weeks now when I have the appointment so not sure if I should ring up and bring it forward?

Depends where you are, I had to phone the docs to arrange an appointment as the hospital don't do it for you, so I would just ring the docs up and ask x

I have my 16 week midwife app next tue. With my wee boy now 3 they told me they had stopped doing the heartbeat at 16 weeks as it's not always guaranteed they find it and it can cause distress to mum. so I had to wait until next time.

Like you RM I have lots of scan lol. Have my 16 week on next monday, then 20 week one in May the a 31 week one as I've had previous section. Plus I've been listening to heartbeat on Doppler at home. Sometimes I find it easy then other times I can't find it but i don't worry as I know it's my rubbish technique and baby's jumping about.

Hmm they changed so much. Just as well I have my doppler. I've not tried since 13 weeks as felt wriggles then. Even now I am feeling something daily now so won't use the doppler unless needed now. When I was pregnant with Jackson they let me hear it every appt from 16w and had a good feel and measure. Jackson was just 3 in January.

I'll have maybe another 3 scans but also hearing a lot more people speak out on the doppler and ultrasound over usage. Mind you it seems every thing is dangerous or with risk these days :lol:

Hi girls,

Hope everyone is doing ok, I've been back to doctors on advice of the midwife. That in itself ended up in a fall out between docs and mw about who should be treating me.
Anyway my UTI has cleared so my headaches are likely to be stress (work related) and the pains I've got back in my leg left and lower back is something to do with a problem with the pelvis some women get early in pregnancy, doc says it'll just get worse so I've been referred for Physio.

Don't think OH understands how much I'm struggling because he'll still leave me to go food shopping on my own. They're so rubbish sometimes!
 
I had to have a chat about that. Usually I pop to the shops on the way home but tends to be I need 3 bags worth then struggle home with it. He had been on shit shifts so I had been picking up tea daily.. But we went a shop at the weekend and thats what we will do from now on. At this stage you really feel yourself slow down a bit.. Not by choice. I used to run up my stairs and I cant now lol.

Oh gosh im almost here now!? I was tri hopping before but wow, times flying. Awk i really hope jojo972 is okay. Work is seriously getting to me. Just soo exhausted. Girl i work with is eight months and works more hours so shes my inspiration. She is very swollen and sore and is still working! I think my problem isi can barely eat so i just have no energy on top of everything else. I drink plenty but that can only do so much. Cant get enough of gala apples so at least thats something. Hope everyone has a lovely day. Im walking home from work and sooooooo ready for bed, night night :)
