@chattychar1990 A big bump early on doesn't mean a big baby - its more to do with the way your body is shaped/how you're carrying Will be interesting to see if you're right. I'm huge this time so wondering if I'll have another small baby or if this one will be a giant haha

Hey ladies. Congratulations on the boy chickadee, and how lovely of you to include your grandads name.

I 'm only feeling the baby down low, below my belly button. Sometimes feel some really big movements, like it rolling over, and it makes my lower stomach go really hard. It's not like Braxton hicks though cos it's more like just the lump in the baby moving causing the hardness (if that makes sense)

I've ordered a new mattress for the modes basket, and been looking at new mattresses for the cotbed. I'm waiting on DH to move the corner base back up so then I can store some more boxes of DD's old clothes under it. I asked him to do it about 2 weeks ago, so he's not doing too bad

I’m due to have growth scans because I produce big babies
Baby 1 (girl) 8lbs 8 born 40+1
Baby 2 (boy) 10lbs 1 born 40+1
Baby 3 (boy) 9lbs 6 born 39+4

I was induced due to lack of movement with baby 3 but they also thought he was going to be 10lbs 15
I’m hoping I might produce a smaller one being a girl but no doubt it will be another big one! Christ knows how big they would have been if I’d actually ever had gestational diabetes!

I think my movement up near my ribs was a one off. I was so uncomfortable that morning baby must've been a funny way cos the movement is back down quite low.

@Rose83 Ouchie ur poor hoo-ha. Did u have them all normal delivery? I believe bigger babies are easier to get out though so if that's true that's good.

Have any off uz done the perineal massage? I was looking at some off the Expert MW range but some off their products contain almond oil. My son is allergic to nuts so I dont like having any products in the house I will have to look for alternative range with good reviews

Hey ladies, how’s everyone’s weekend been?? I sat here last night on my own, kids and OH we’re in bed and I just watched my belly, and little one was doing all sorts of somersaults, I’m quite a big girl, but I finally saw a small kick on the outside! I was that excited I cried lol! Hasn’t happened again since...but was happy 21 weeks today!! I don’t no about anyone else but this is all flying by!!! Next growth scan- 28 weeks pregnant, so July time I think! Xx
Picture of bump from today x

Hey ladies! Hope we are all doing OK! I have my scan tomorrow at 11.15am, finally!! Feeling excited and a little nervous, hopefully all is OK with little one and fingers crossed to find out the gender. My prediction is that I will be adding some blue to the group hehe but we shall wait and see!
Have had a busy weekend as we are now redecorating the playroom and turning it into my sons new 'big boy bedroom' which is exciting. His new big boy bed will arrive this week. We want to try and have him successfully transitioned from his baby room to new big boy room before the baby arrives as we don't want him to have too much change to his life all at once lol. Also means the baby room will be available to start stocking up and getting organised for the new arrival! It is all getting so exciting. Will let you all know how the scan goes tomorrow!! X

How exciting Victoria and it's a nice early app. Cant wait to hear how u get on.

My son finally slept in his own room 2nights ago. We co slept when he was younger whilst was feeding. He was so use to being with someone we had him sleep beside his sister. Was big step for him but he made the choice himself.
I'm sure ur wee boy will love his room

Haha TTC yep they were all natural deliveries - well apart from my smallest one who had to be pulled out with forceps. I had an episiotomy with her and second degree tear. Baby 2 the 10lb 1 guy was just a minor tear and came out by himself and same with my third. I don’t really know if it’s true about the bigger babies coming out easier but I certainly don’t know any different and it hasn’t stopped me having more or things being ok down there although I do have a rectocele (prolapse) but I assume not a particularly severe one seeing as no one has ever bothered to get me seen about it.

here’s my bump, I’ll be 23 weeks on Tuesday.

 

[JennyS85]

Ah lovely bumps ladies! So exciting to hear about all the wriggles...

Also got my 20 wk scan today @VictoriaNi but not til 1pm....been awake since 5am...so going to be a long morning. I'm going to try to get them to write down the sex in an envelope to open with my husband but he's said just to find out myself if they wont.

We also moved my son into his new big bedroom recently- didn't want him to feel like he'd been evicted by new baby (although they'll be in with us for a while anyway). He's starting school in Sept too (hopefully!!) so a bit worried about all the changes for him!

 

[chattychar1990]

Lovely bumps ladies.

@VictoriaNi & @JennyS85 - good luck with the scans today, so exciting to see what gender you will be bringing to the group

Hope everyone is doing ok xxx

Best off luck for your scan @JennyS85. Exciting day for September babies. Cant wait hear the genders

 

[kanga86]

Hope your scans go well today Victoria and Jenny, excited to hear your news.

Loving all the bump pics, thought I would share a bump pic from friday when I was 20wks, feeling huge! I know I'm 3st heavier than I was in my last pregnancy but I look about the same size as I was just before I had him.

My youngest had his 4th birthday yesterday and we knew the weather wasn't going to be great so we had a lovely day out in the garden on saturday with a bbq. Yesterday was a quiet day inside with a party lunch, a film and playing his new switch games and lego.

I have my rescan on Wednesday morning to check babys heart, not looking forward to having to be up and at the hospital for 9am though lol

Hey ladies, hope the scans went well. Also, apologies if this message appears out of sync, it never seems to load them right for me.

we moved our DD into her new big girl room a few weeks to stop her feeling put out too Jenny, and to limit the amount out change at once. out

my only delivery ended in an episiotomy (?) and forceps. I didn't mind though as I was completely drugged up and couldn't feel anything. I was just happy it was done. She was just under 7lb.

Had an unintentionally productive day. Called the drs to book in my whooping cough vaccine and ended up there 1 hour later for it. Sore arm now. Called the mw to arrange when/how to get my matb form and ended up there 3 hours later collecting that. Emailed work to remind them not to forget about me when developing any return to work policy, and spoke to someone to look into the HR side of how much leave i accrue monthly so I can work out mat leave lengths.

I've told myself I deserve cake now.

Hey everyone! Scan went great , everything looking healthy and well with baby! Measuring right on track, estimated due date 24th Sept, so just a day ahead of what we already had! Unfortunately the lady said she wasn't allowed to write gender down in an envelope for me which was disappointing as my husband and I wanted to read it together, so she had to tell me during scan and as predicted it is a BOY! I just knew it, I was 100% sure it would be a boy so I am well and truly outnumbered in my house now hehe. I am delighted as it will be great for my boy to have a brother. Also saves us a fortune as we don't need to change baby room or buy many new clothes/toys etc! Really excited to start getting everything organised now! Xx
