Morning all

Hope all poorly/low bp/spd people are feeling a bit better?

Who's scanning this week?

I'm going to try an aquanatal class tonight - stupidly nervous, for some reason

Good morning!

Good luck with aquanatal - sounds fun!

I will be in my scan around this time tomorrow - eeeekkk!

cocktailsausage I vant to eat you cocktail sausages now!

Hi

Just marking my place on the new thread ( a new one already....you ladies can talk!!).

Anyway will catch up on everyone's news later. Arrived late into work thanks to a clingy baby who wouldn't be set down and now I have snot on my trousers (his, not mine!) Good start to the week.

We had a gender scan yesterday and are having another ds. I was certain it was a boy so no real surprise and will make it so much easier as they will be very close in age and I have all boy stuff. I suppose a tiny part of me is a little sad I will never have a daughter as dh is adament this is our last! I will just be so delighted if all being well we end up with 2 healthy boys mind you. Baby was kicking away and in typical male fashion couldn't seem to take his hand off his willy for long :) They do start early don't they??! Have posted a pic to fb page. I'm bang on with my dates and baby measured 19+3 and 11 oz

Haha, only half awake still and for a second I read that as 11 lbs not oz Warlin I thought 'jeez how big is it going to get?!' I think I definitely need a coffee today. congrats, another boy!! my scan is a week today can't wait!! hoping to find out sex although have a friend who couldn't find out theirs at 20 wk scan last week so trying not to psych myself up too much just in case, as long ad everything else looks good I'll be very happy and might think about paying for 3d scan later.
hope everyone is feeling well today!!

Another boy! Congrats warlin

shire, I've got my first aqua natal class tonight too

Morning ladies, just settling down with a brew and marmite on toast

I've also been looking into aquanatal so I called my leisure centre to check how many weeks you have to be and they have no idea? I don't seem to have a direct number for my midwife. Anyway it's on a Monday morning but I'm not going today so probably start next week.

Congrats on boy no. 2 warlin

hayleybop at my leisure centre it says 'after your first scan' but midwife said more like 18weeks+ I'm going to go to it, just need to buy a swimsuit I can actually fit into first!!

Congrats on boy number 2 warlin
I have my scan on Thursday and cant wait to see baby again and hopefully either get confirmation baby is a girl or a surprise boy

Good luck to those starting aquanatal, let us know how it is. Am interested in starting but is a bit of a trek from where we live atm.

Thanks roofio I think I remember the mw mentioning after scan which I thought was early but I'm 18+1 today so should be ok for next week.

another little boy - congrats warlin!!! do you have a name in mind?

PS. first day back in the office after 2 weeks off... boooooooooooo

Morning all.

This time tomorrow I will be wetting myself (hopefully not literally, although a full bladder will make it plausible) as I will be just about to go in for my 20week scan! I am trying not to think about it too much today, but I am hoping for the same sense of relaxation and joy that I experienced at/after the 12 week one! I'll be checking the thread prior to the scan to see how you've got on Tarlia! Are we the only 2 scanning tomorrow?

Congrats Warlin! It will be lovely that your 2 boys will get to grow up together, my brother is the only boy and he has 2 sisters and I always remember him saying that he wished he had a brother to play with! However, whilst my sister is very girly, I was/am quite the tomboy so I used to play with his Action Men and Lego with him which I think made it a bit more acceptable for him to not have a brother! I still think he would've liked a brother though.

My back is absolutely killing me today. The pain is in my lower back and I am struggling sat here at my desk. I have started trying to do 10 minutes of pilates a day to help, but at the minute I am quite convinced that it is just making it worse!

Congrats on the baby boy *warlini baby boys are taking over the October thread lol I'm also on another October group its mainly American ladies on there and boys are well out numbering girls on there too which is interesting.

I need a rant this morning, I feel like death warmed up my whole body aches, dd was awake for a large chunk of the night I've been awake since 4am and thought its ok I have the midwife at 11am today (something to look forward too) then BAM she cancels one of her ladies has gone into labour so she has to go to the hospital and has re scheduled me for Friday boohoo. 18 weeks today 22 to go.

Have fun at aqua natal ladies sounds fun but like others have said I'm not confident enough to just turn up not knowing anyone lol

Yey another boy warlin

Good luck to those scanning tomorrow, anyone today??

I have school meeting to see if ds is getting in today so i am hoping he does as the school is 300 yards away and i don't want to go the 2 miles to the next closest!

Congrats Warlin!
Alot of boys on this thread!

My scan is a week today, very excited!!
Stopped the night in Taunton and now we're back on the road going down to Perranporth Weather still isnt great but at least its not raining!!

Ah cherrycherry41 I have been meaning to ask where you are staying in Cornwall. Perranporth is the home town of both me and my DH! My parents live in Rose (which is a small village at the top of the hill just on the outskirts). DH and I met in the surf club that is on the beach (we were both members there for years), we got on engaged on flat rock (the bit of rock that cuts off the second half of the beach at high tide), we got married at Perranzabuloe Church which is just up the road from my parents house (and is also where they were wed) and we had wedding photos taken in front of Chapel Rock on the beach!

Sorry, bit of a life story there, but we are a tad passionate about being Cornish

Come on the boys! Surely if boys out number girls those of us still to scan are more likely to have girls? Wishful thinking???!???

Managed to go out last night! For early dinner. Was sitting so not so bad. I'm a bit more confident now knowing I can cope. Also left LO at home. So that helped

My scan isn't until 28th. So far away!

Quick question ladies, my DD's were potentially exposed to slapcheek yesterday (bloody mil and bil not thinking!) No record of me ever having it as a child, is it worth getting a blood test to check immunity or just wait and see, there's chance of girls not even getting it I guess! They saw my nephew who was diagnosed last week, and is no longer contagious, but I'm worried his sister (who isn't displaying symptoms) may have it and have passed it on! Feel free to tell me I'm overreacting

Unfortunately I am not very clued up on all of this stuff thethreeblondies, but it might be worth just asking your midwife as she will have a better grasp of it and won't think you're overreacting if you phrase it like you did above (i.e. just checking). There's nothing wrong with being cautious when pregnant!

threeblondes I was told they would only test if you have definitely been in contact with someone who has had it not second hand so if u want to be tested say you saw your nephew when it turned out he had it.
but maybe not worry unless ur girls show the signs of it!!

I hope you got your sausage fix Tarlia

Good luck tomorrow roxvox on the scan.

Congratulations on another boy Warlin.

I think I'm also having another boy this time. If it is it'll be dh 4th boy but my second. We're all hoping for a girl - I'm well prepared if it isn't.
We won't know until 24th.

This baby is very active he's been kicking me all day. I didn't feel movement with ds 1 until about this time last pregnancy. I don't remember him being this active. Then again I have been feeling movement with this one since 10 weeks, and this one is measuring bigger at 90 percentile at my last scan.

Looks like I'll be tested for gestational diabetes again

threeblondies my son had slapped cheek when I was still in 1st trimester. I have never had it so called midwife team. My booking bloods were sent off to check my immunity and thankfully I was immune. With slapped cheek you are contagious up till rash appears and ok after rash has broken. Maybe call midwife team and ask what advice is for your area.

20 week scan is on Wednesday morning so nervous and can't decide whether to find out flavour or not

No sausages :(. I wouldn't mind but I don't really like them! I'm eating a chicken, tomato and mayo sandwich though which is hitting the spot.

rox I think it's just us. And now I'm thinking about Cornish pasties and clotted cream (not together!) after your reminiscing mmmm. What is wrong with me today?? Maybe a 19 week spurt?

I hopped on the scales this morning, I've put on 3 kg at 19 weeks, the recommendation is 10kg throughout the whole pregnancy so I'm doing ok, I think!? Can't remember last time.

So who is having a girl and who is having a boy?

I just had a quick look at the October stats thread and only one person has updated to include gender

Those of you with SPD, how do you turn over at night without waking in pain?

Wicked are u able to add a link for stats thread and I will add baby's gender on for myself
