here we all are... hoping for nice clear 20w. scans, not too much inadvertent weeing and getting that 'glow'...

Dorita I have one day every couple of weeks where I have excruciating headaches. Fortunately the next day I'm fine.

My 20w scan is the 25th - feels such a long time away (and I had a scan at 16w!!). We'll be trying to find out that sex they are, but as they've not been that cooperative at my scans so far I think that if they can see it will be a miracle!

CharlW1 · 16/04/2013 20:31

Dorita I'm your scan buddy too! Friday is going to be a busy day for scans with 4 of us so far.

such lovely news Kim really happy for you.

I'm finding out the sex - I'm rubbish at surprises Smile

kimjayne · 16/04/2013 20:31

I have tried to make my profile open to all mumsnetters so hopefully the bump pic should be visible now?? could somebody let me know if it's worked? :)

weebarra · 16/04/2013 20:33

diet coke, my 20 week scan is on the 25th too, what time is yours? Had a really tough day at work today and DH has run me a bath and been to the shops - bless!

kimjayne · 16/04/2013 20:37

thanks a million for all the lovely messages by the way! We are both really excited. Can't wait to start looking at all the cute baby boy baby grows and other bits. :) I'm going on a cheeky girly shopping day with my friend this saturday so we might have a nosy. :) Can't really afford to spend too much but can't hurt to window shop can it? hehe
Who's got scans tomorrow then? I hope all goes well and look forward to hearing your scan news.
Our little man was a real wriggle bum :) we even got a little wave just before the scan finished. I love him already!

jennimoo · 16/04/2013 20:39

I can see your picture kimjayne. Lovely bump!

juniper9 · 16/04/2013 20:41

My scan isn't until 22nd MAY! boo hiss. 16+2 today and due on 29th, so right at the tail end. Will be 21+3 by then- hospital policy to do it in the 21st week, apparently.

andadietcoke · 16/04/2013 20:53

weebarra 10.20 I think. What about you?

Put your feet up and take it easy. I've also had a horrid day - off to bed soon!

Readytosettle · 16/04/2013 20:56

Loving all the scan news! Actual real little people in those bumps :-)

Readytosettle · 16/04/2013 21:01

Managed to get the same (useless newbie) midwife as I had at booking in today :-( Barely acknowledged the fact I was in the room & spent the whole time on the phone/blackberry. She did my bp/wee testing one-handed, booked me in for a GTT in June & sent me on my way....no chance of a heartbeat, seriously questioning what the point of seeing a midwife is?!

PurplePoppySeed · 16/04/2013 21:02

Anyone else on the 2nd? I'm meant to be but also have a client meeting that I really want to be at. No issues from bosses about going to the scan, but I really want to be at the meeting, I'm wondering what the hospital will say if I try to change it?

Creamtea1 · 16/04/2013 21:50

Anyone else for a scan on Monday (22nd) ? Am not going to find out the sex.

JammyTummy · 16/04/2013 22:10

I'm on Monday creamtea! First thing in the morning!
We've got a funeral to go to that day too, which is a shame...

CheeseStrawCraving · 17/04/2013 00:32

Ooh ooh me too jammy and cream tea, at 8.30 in the flippin morning! Still, saves having to wait all day! We are going to find out the flavour if we can...

andadietcoke · 17/04/2013 07:00

Cheese all my other scans have been at 8.40 - they're brilliant. At my clinic that's the first appt so there's no waiting. Lucky you!

Derpess · 17/04/2013 07:21

My scans not until 7th May....boo

Hoping to find out the flavours!

Nice to hear all the good scan news so far and good luck to those having them today.

Kittenkatzen · 17/04/2013 07:31

Good luck to today's scanners, looking forward to news...

Have I got a buddy for the 30th? Seems like sooooo long away!

andadietcoke · 17/04/2013 07:32

Derpess how are you feeling? I feel massive and like I've definitely got more than two orange-sized babies in there. The stretching pains worry me constantly and I'm sure they're trying to break out at the moment through my belly. Everyone keeps telling me all this is 'normal for twins' but I'm only half way Blush

BinarySolo · 17/04/2013 07:39

My scan's Monday morning too. Still not decided if we'll find out the sex. Have finally started to feel the baby move! Thanks for all the concern...

LotsaTuddles · 17/04/2013 08:37

Hello all, I was on here to begin with but got a bit busy (I'm getting married in June). Anyway, I'm back now, am I still welcome? I'll try to keep up this time Blush

LotsaTuddles · 17/04/2013 08:39

My scan's on 2nd May, anyone else got that date? I don't think we're going to find out the colour

Creamtea1 · 17/04/2013 09:43

Binary - I've just since the weekend been 100% sure I've felt movement now, and it's my third! It's nice and as you say quite a relief.

In disturbing news - I had a dream last night I had an 11 lb 2oz baby girl and I woke up at the point where they were stitching me up ( and it wasn't a c section!) I pray that's not an omen!

EmmaDee · 17/04/2013 10:11

Hi all, my "big scan" isnt til the 10 May, ages away Sad. I cant wait to see wee baby and make sure alls ok.

I am a natural born worrier, but recently even more than ususal. Looking at all your lovely bumps has made me panicky, I havent got one and Im 17+3 today? My belly is a bit bigger and my boobs definately are, but nothing that couldnt be put down to the amount of pickled onion monster munch and bread ive been putting away!!

Anyone else lacking in the bump department!

georgie22 · 17/04/2013 10:12

I'm with creamtea and jammytummy with my scan at 9.00 on Monday. Not finding out the sex - we didn't find out last time and it was lovely telling everyone what we'd had once I'd delivered. Had thought I was having a girl last time and was correct but don't think that will be the case this time as can only imagine having a girl as it's all I'm used to. Have always wanted a dd so I'm happy with either this time.
Feeling good at the moment - achey growing pains have settled and I'm feeling baby moving. Still tired at times but think that's understandable with looking after 2 year old and working too!
Have 2nd and 3rd time mums told their other children about the new baby? Our dd knows she's having a sibling and it's in mummy's tummy - she quite unfazed by it all really. She's hoping for a sister!!

EmmaDee · 17/04/2013 10:13

Ooh and Creamtea Ive had weird dreams every night since I got preggers, everything from my dh cheating, me running off with ladies, to being chased by bears and problems with the baby!

My mum said she had loads of crazy dreams when she was pregnant with me, must be the hormones!
