Sorry Moon I didn't answer your questions. I agree with MLS, a bit too early to feel movement on the outside. Once a womb has been stretched to full term you can feel movements yourself quite early. I think I felt movement around 18 weeks with DD and around 10 weeks with DS. DH couldn't feel movements from the outside for quite a bit longer though.

Maternity clothes, start with your normal size and expect to have to buy some different sizes or styles towards the end. I'm quite tall in the body and I struggled getting tops to meet my trousers towards the end so had to add a bump band to cover the gap. I often buy clothes from "tall" ranges and I was quite frustrated to find shops thought you couldn't be tall and pregnant.

Here's my hand mrskate hoping and fingers crossed that everything is ok.

SabsFabulous · 15/03/2013 07:06

Another hand here for mrskate will be lurking for news

I had a really big bleed with this pregnancy too but thankfully I was able to have a quick scan which showed all was ok. They couldn't explain why I was bleeding. Fingers crossed your bean isn't affected at all

MummysLittleSunbeams · 15/03/2013 06:28

Handholds here for mrskate, I'll be lurking for news today.

Moon how very exciting for you, telling people at work! To answer your questions, it's a bit early to feel flutters from the outside. I felt internal flutters with dd1 at 18 weeks, dd2 DEFINITELY at 9 weeks (I remember texting Neeko to say I'd definitely felt something & the next day I had a bleed), & with ds I didn't feel anything until about 15 weeks as my placenta was to the front. With mat clothes just buy your usual size. You may be buying a few things a slightly bigger size right at the end though.

Gotta dash, need to jump in the shower before any of my brood wakes up. Happy Friday everyone! Smile

RemindMeWhatSleepIs · 15/03/2013 02:00

Oh no! MrsKate! That's just not fair! I've just woke up and got your text from earlier. Praying everything is ok.

MrsKate · 15/03/2013 01:24

I was at work and felt a bit wet sorry i went to toilet and bleeding bright red blood . With working in emergency dept dr saw me straight away and gynae dr came and assessed me and said my cervix is closed and bleeding seems to be coming from outside my cervix ?????? Ive got scan in morning I'm in no pain HmmHmmHmmHmm not sure what to think

4everhopeful · 14/03/2013 23:04

Oh no no mrskate Sad I'm praying that all is ok for you, hope you can get in for a scan first thing? My heart goes out to you... x

Im bleeding SadSadSadSadSad

moonmrs · 14/03/2013 20:54

Oooh mrskate not long to go, they got that sorted really quickly, everything crossed for you and your bean Smile

Yes cupcake I've told the lady I work closely with, she also knows about my history, so I got her on my own and said I've got something to show you, and pulled out the scan pic and she was soooo happy, it was lovely. I'm planning on telling the rest of the team tomorrow after a team meeting. To me its very obvious anyway, my belly is definitely sticking out, so I should imagine some have guessed!

I have a few random questions for anyone who can help me please?

  1. Dh said that when I was asleep last night he had his hand on my belly, and he swears he felt some flutters? I said it was way too early but he says he felt something....
  1. If I buy maternity clothes, do I buy my normal size and they've accounted for extra growth, or do I need a size up to match however I'm growing? Same for bras?

I had another one but I've clean forgot, I may be back.....

cupcakefairy · 14/03/2013 20:01

And 6 months 13 days before my birthday Grin
Haha..sorry, couldn't resist...
That's great news MrsK, the time will fly I'm sure.
neeko any plans for dd's birthday? We want to see a cake! :)

So moon are you back at work now?? Have you started telling your colleagues??

Neeko · 14/03/2013 12:52

And six days after DD2's birthday. Smile Yay to a scan Mrskate

Sorry I've not been about much. Hope to be back soona

SabsFabulous · 13/03/2013 18:22

And 4 days before my birthday Wink

RemindMeWhatSleepIs · 13/03/2013 18:13

Ooh Mrs Kate! 4th April sounds like a good day for a scan, its the day after my DS's first birthday.

MrsKate · 13/03/2013 17:40

Hi everyone

Had my booking in appointment at midwifes today my scan is 4th april ShockShock

Sorry a me post I'm at work on my break Hmm

4everhopeful · 13/03/2013 15:01

I think it a blue one too moon! Grin Although having said that, the chinese calendar seems to have worked for me! Hmm Grin Bless your Dh doing the wedding ring thing! Smile Is it all sinking in now?! Have you told people yet? Soooo exciting! Still beaming for you! Grin

Mls Id forgotten about the baking soda thing! How are you and the kids now? Hope the impetigo has cleared up?

Rumours how's your Ds doing now? You really have been through so much... Do you have a holiday planned at all? Have you restocked on mini eggs?! Grin

Mermaid, Monkey, Buddha - c o m e b a c k! You too barbie? I feel really crap at the thought you would of actually left solely cos I've annoyed/upset you that much.. Sad

Sabs lovely, hope work isn't too bad and you are being gentle on yourself?

Big waves to everyone else, sorry for not posting to you all, didn't realise the time... Hmm Permanently chasing my tail at the moment, been crazy busy clearing and sorting babys room, rehoused a huge 6door wardrobe of clothes, which entailed every available upstairs space being sorted and cleared to make room, stripped the wallpaper on sat, being spending money like water buying stuff, all very exciting, albeit draining, and on top of that have literally spent months obsessing organising my mums 80th ( Shock ) which is on tues, and a big surprise family get together on sat, which has taken the most stupendous amount of planning and coordination! Will be so relieved if when its all come together and is done! The horrormones are kicking in recently and I'm having real uncontrollable teary, irrational and grrrrr moments Blush which really isn't helping matters!

Moon do the baking soda test! Pee in a pot with a teaspoon of baking soda in it. If it fizzes up its a boy, if it does nothing it's a girl!! It has a high success rate apparently, sadly not for me though! It told me ds was another dd! I know it worked for Barbie though.

littlebellsmum · 12/03/2013 18:53

wow - the best news ever. so pleased for the moonfamilytobe back later once dd2 is in bed

cupcakefairy · 12/03/2013 14:22

I think it's a blue one moon :) I think blue for sabs too, a trio of boys by September :) :) .. although I'm worrying my instincts are wrong now cos that would make all our recent graduates boys! Oh well..I'm sticking with it!
So cute your dh is so into it all though moon :)

monkeyisback · 12/03/2013 14:01

My ds was supposed to be a girl according to that Chinese calendar Grin

moonmrs · 12/03/2013 13:54

I was laying in bed last night thinking how lovely it is that everyone comes out of lurk mode when good news happens (and equally bad news), its so lovely that this happens and to know that you have a huge support network should you ever need it. I was so excited I couldn't sleep last night either!

Dh and dsis both think its a girl. So when I got up today, dh says, according to the Chinese lunar calendar (??) it's a girl, then as I was eating my cereal, he walks in with his wedding ring on a piece of string! According to that its a girl too. But I still maintain a boy! He does make me laugh.

cupcakefairy · 12/03/2013 09:04

Huge hugs to sabs.
Hello to monkey and mermaid and buddha..so lovely to see you all. See moon that baby is a special one already bringing so many of our old friends back! :)

SabsFabulous · 11/03/2013 22:19

Moon yay!!!! So so so happy for you GrinGrinGrinGrin that is just the best news. And even better that they've put you a few days forward. Saara is a September baby so I have to agree that they are the best Wink Enjoy the rest of your days off

So wonderful to see everyone here, especially the special Mermaid you have definitely been missed.

Also great to see Monkey and Buddha back too. I'm always thinking about you both x

Great to see everyone back on the thread for times like today, you ladies are the best Smile

Rumours I am so so so sorry that I missed you in my post, I felt so bad Blush sorry to hear DS2 has been in hospital Sad Hope you're all feeling a bit better

Thanks again for everyone's kind and comforting words, have I mentioned that you ladies are the best?

Special hugs to 4ever and curly for yesterday Curly you have such a special way with your words, I was in tears when I read your post.

It was my first day back at work today, trying to get back to some sort of normality after the past couple of weeks, we'll get there... X
