Well I’m from the UK, but I emigrated to Canada several years ago! I met a Canadian and it all spiralled from there....

Aaaah I went to Oz when I was 12 and loved it. Would love to go back at some point but it’s just getting over the thought of that long flight!!

My bloating is still so bad, anyone have any tips? I’m going to try and get eat smaller meals, and go for walks, it gets so uncomfortable around 5/6pm.

Happy Easter everyone!

Ah nice - I would love to go to Canada ... except the cold is not my favourite lol. Yeah, it's always a long flight for me to get out of here haha

Sorry, no tips from me about bloating... I just would unbutton my pants and breath through the pain ... I wonder if peppermint tea would help?

 

[xoxo]

Yeah the cold sucks!! Just visit in the summer instead lol

I ate my lunch slower today and tried to drink lots of water, definitely feeling better than other days but it’s still there! Yeh I can’t wear anything with a button now! I guess tea would help as it’s more water to drink?

Have you started showing? In the mornings I have a small bump compared to what I used to have but it’s tiny.

Yep that’s the plan one day

I think there isn’t much to prevent the bloat. Apparently growing the little one makes the entire digestive system slow down... not sure when it will get better! I think peppermint also has an effect on relaxing the gut and helps with spasms etc.

Not really showing yet. I *might* have a tiny bump but could easily be a little fat deposit haha, which is likely given how much I have eaten the last few days

 

[pupperino]

Hey @_GG_ .. haven’t heard from you in ages! Hope all is well with you x

 

[bonjourkatie]

With regards to bloating, I found peppermint tea helped me feel less uncomfortable and helped *things along* of ya know what I mean

Also I’ve definitely got a bump... it’s massive for 16+4 I think! This was taken in the evening but it’s still definitely there in full force in the morning!

 

[xoxo]

Aw such a cute bump! You are two weeks ahead of me so it’s exciting to see what is ahead!

Maybe I’ll try peppermint tea then, I don’t love mint but I’ll try anything! Weirdly the last two days I have felt a bit better, I’ve just tried to eat less but more frequently. I still look huge in the evenings tho!

I also thought I was getting over feeling tired all the time but I’m still exhausted in the evenings. Anyone else the same?

Aww thank you! People keep assuming I’ve got my due date wrong

I find it the least offensive from all the herbal teas so it’s not too bad!

My tiredness has eased some what, if I have a busy day then I’m asleep at 9 but at least it’s not 7 anymore and some nights I can stay up relatively late!

 

[xoxo]

oh bless!! I think people show at all different times, it’s nice that you have something. I just look like I ate too many pork pies and it’s all collected around my gut

Yeah I’ve managed to stay up till past 10 a couple nights but lately I’ve just felt so tired around 9/930. But Some days are better than others and not as bad as the first tri!

Yeah, I’m embracing it now everyone knows I’m pregnant!

I’m glad you’re sleeping better!

Also ladies, tmi so sorry, but my boobs have started leaking! I was so worried so I googled it and it’s absolutely fine. And I know you should but I just HAD to double check if it were colostrum and I haven’t got some sort of weird boobs and it defo is... CRAZY

So expect that potentially coming your way soon

Omg haha ... thanks for the heads up - I definitely wouldn’t have expected that to happen!

My tiredness has gotten better since first tri, but some days I’m wrecked and in bed by 8.30/9! I have been waking up around 5 or 6 each day, so I have become more of a morning person lately!

Welcome! I will add you to the list!

Of that is so exciting! I’m only 14 weeks but I *think* a bump is starting to protrude lol!

 

[baby1201]

Im abit concerned as I haven’t really felt any movement yet and I’m 18 weeks, when I went for my gender scan they said my placenta was at the front so I guess that could be contributing towards it. I’ve got a very obvious baby bump now, everyone seems to be commented. Being my 4th I have popped really early.
Hope your all well! Have we got any more genders yet?

 

[pupperino]

@baby1201 have you felt anything more yet?

Hope everyone is going well!

Last night I experienced “stabbing” pain/ spasms on my left side whilst I turned over to sleep. It went away when I turned back on my right side. At first I wondered if it was BH, as I have had period-like cramps all day yesterday and again this morning. However, after a bit of reading - it might have been round ligament pain? I’m now 14+5 and a baby bump has popped. I have also had a random stab in my boob and my right hip lol. I feel like I’m falling apart!

What do you guys think? Anything that might help? I definitely need to get back into the gym to build up my core strength again!

 

[baby1201]

It’s probably just the aches and pains of being pregnant. I wouldn’t worry! Hope your feeling ok now.
I have started to feel little flutters every now and again, also I bought a Doppler and found the heartbeat so that has reassured me abit.
I’ve got my 20 week scan on Monday, well I will actually be 19 weeks. Nervous for it though, I really hope everything is ok.

Thanks, seems to have settled down now, didn't have any stabs on my right side last night.

Aw so nice that you got to hear the heartbeat! So lovely. Fx for your scan My 20 week scan is booked for 5 weeks exactly from now - seems so far away!

 

[xoxo]

Listened to the baby’s heartbeat today at my midwife appointment. Was so amazing! Sounded like a horse galloping!

Should find out about my 20 week scan in the next day or so.

Babylove I’m so nervous for mine too so you’re not alone!
