Hi Ladies. Can I join you? Am due on 27th Feb. Maybe if it's later in the month I should be on the March thread? Had my 12 week scan today and all was good. The ms is starting to calm down now after being awful for 7 weeks. Hope you are all doing well.

your wish etc

Hello everyone,

I'm getting those fluttery feelings too, so we can't all have wind!

I was thinking that maybe we need to start a new thread now we have all had our first scans (Due Feb 2010 - the second trimester). I'm so not qualified to do this, but maybe someone could start one and put a redirect on this one? We could all join and add ourselves to a proper up to date due date list...

I'm definitely feeling better. MS is gone, and the tiredness is lifting. I think I'm one of the lucky ones, judging by what lots of people are saying.

Anyway, I'm also going away for a few days, so will go incommunicado. Hope everyone has good weeks!

Morning All,

I'm off to France for 2 weeks today so I may be a little quite. I can't believe when I get back I'll be 16 weeks I have such a busy September that time is going to fly!

Well I'll try and check in when I have a chance. I hope evryone's MS eases over the next couple of weeks.

good evening ladeez

lovely to hear about flutterings, i feel them on night and its almost a week before i feel them again but i guess thats normal until later.

i am totally addicted to watching births on you tube - its great! the first one i watched i was hiding behind my hands screaming (must remember to show my daughters when teenagers ) but then after watching about 20 i acclimatised myself to the whole thing and now i watch them thinking, "ooh that was a good one!"

i am especially addicted to the water births because both time when i got to the hospital with dd's it was full. it looks so nice and the actual delivery looks so much calmer for baby then bright lights all around them.

some of the births were so beautiful, i cried at so many - big wuss!

i had two positive experiences at hospital with lovely midwives but i have to say that with all the hospital birth clips the midwives look so rough with the baby and yank the baby out compared to all the home waterbirths were the babies are allowed to just come out themselves and the mums catch them.

if i get a water birth at the hospital then i will ask if they can allow the baby to come out themselves and not tug them out unless of course they have to.

i recommend you watch you as many as you can as it really makes you feel mentally prepared. i am the kind of person who wants ALL the details beforehand so i know what to expect, my options and how i could do things.

the homebirths look the best and but dh would never let me... ah well!

Thank you sounds like it might have been my baby then. Think I might have an early night and see if I can encourage more acrobatics.

Sweet dreams

Yes, flutterings, and in the place you describe. I haven't felt them again. My understanding is that this early on, you only feel it when the baby does a bit movement like a somersault or something. And I haven't been able to replicate the peace and quiet that I had to lie down yesterday and feel my tummy. I felt ds at 14 weeks, but at that point, I wasn't sure.

What did your movements feel like Mawbroon? I felt some flutterings last night and I am thinking, and hoping, it was the baby. Mine have all been in the middle of my tummy a couple of inches below my tummy button. Does that sound about right? It's 4 years since I was at this stage with dd and can't remember much at all. All those sleepless nights have wrecked my memory...

I wouldn't worry about being the last in to the 2nd trimester. I think from now onwards a couple of weeks makes no difference and dd was late so you will probably have a baby before me. Plus from where I am sitting, the 2nd trimester unfortunately feels a hell of a lot like the first!

I felt some movement yesterday!! I am only 11 + 6, but would put money on it having been the baby. I would recognise that feeling anywhere!!

Have had a few days of almost chucking up, but not quite. I have been shovelling down spoonfuls of glace ginger which seems to help a little. I am trying to find out if there is a pattern to feeling sick, but I think it is a bit random. Today I have been fine, so who knows!!

It's another week until I have my scan, but I am sure it will be worth the wait.

Hope everyone is doing ok. I guess I will be the last one into the second trimester next week....
