Martians 2014, thread 13. Who will win, team pink or team blue?

[LyraSilvertongue]

New thread, hoes!

Ice I didn't know you were in Bourneville. I used to live in Longbridge. Have also never been to Cadbury World and although I've been to Warwick I've not been to the castle, it's quite expensive!
That Turkish story is scary Lyra
I can't join in the GBBO discussion, I don't really watch TV, busy with catching up with stuff my ex never let me watch on Netflix.lol
Re: not peeing before scan. I was sure you didn't need a full bladder for your 20 week scan as the uterus is out from behind the pubis now?!

My bladder was too full for my scan so had to go empty it after she'd had an initial look! I'd drank 2 pints in the 2 hours beforehand.

Not disputing it Lyra you may well have a higher up uterus just didn't realise you were due in feb, if you're 22 weeks. The fibroid may have something to do with why it's so high? Don't know I'm not an Internet triage mw!

Trying to turn over a new leaf with this thread, so forgive my complacency for only posting on FB for the last month or so....I will attempt to be a regular poster again.......

Block I'd pee then drink a bottle of water :) I could not hold it in! I pee a minimum of three times from going to bed to getting up, then have my morning pee! I think I can actually pee on demand......

Got the doctor today for the nipple issue, the MW recommendation at my 16 week appointment for a 22 week “check in with GP” and also for my flu jab. This means a half day at work (I work 40 miles away from where I live so a full half day makes complete sense.... ).....there are some perks to this pregnancy malarkey :)

I was told no need for a full bladder for 20 week scan. In fact, there were even signs all over the waiting room saying that. Besides if baby gets into an awkward position, they will do quite a lot of pressing which could be awkward with a full bladder!

Babies are so small they are still doing a fair amount of moving at 20 weeks. My one started the scan with head buried very low down, so sonographer was a bit worried she wouldn't be able to get a good look at head but then moved up to a transverse position halfway through.

And Madwife, like you said, my midwife couldn't tell the difference between head and bum at 38 weeks last time, hence we discovered baby was breech when I was 5cm dilated and in labour. The funny bit was she had a student midwife with her at my 38 week appnt - who she kept saying, there's no mistaking that - that's baby's bum etc. DS was 9'2 and 59 cm long when he was born - there is no way that baby turned at the last minute without me feeling it!

Madwife, by LMP and ovulation date, I'm 21 weeks, due March 3rd, but my dates got changed at my 12-week scan so new EDD is February 25th. Still sure the original EDD is right but of course no-one will listen to me.

Block, have you been told to come with a full bladder? That would be very unusual for a 20-week scan. Maybe check with the hospital if you're unsure.

So the Martian consensus is I'm allowed to pee in the morning, but then drink a bottle of water. Yeay!

• If I get told off I'm blaming all of you! You have been warned!!!

(My hospital letter says after 24 weeks no need for full bladder)

My letter says have a full bladder. I'm pretty sure it's the exact same one they sent out for my 12 weeks one though so that might explain it.

I'm still in bed after being ordered (nicely) to take the day off by DP and my boss when I rung this morning. I'm feeling incredibly guilty but admitting defeat as there's no way I could have worked today, feel rubbish!

Andie I just got Netflix, what's worth watching? I've been sticking to films so far.

Rock Hope you have a nice day pram shopping. Which one do you fancy?

Comms, Breaking Bad if you haven't already watched it. I think all five seasons are on Netflix.

I got Netflix recently to try to watch game of Thrones, but they don't have it! . I started watching breaking bad instead. I'm a bit worried I've gone way over my download limit for the month!

I'm a bit jealous about your letters. I never get a letter about anything. I like getting a big of post.

Hi - Ive posted a few times in the main preggo forum. I'm 19+2 due on the 17th March.

Currently terrified of my 20 week scan which is next Monday. I'm one of those weirdos who never knew they were pregnant til 14 weeks so now I'm totally neurotic about everything because my pregnancy didn't exactly have the most "normal" of starts (well I guess all pregnancys start the same way...buy well, y'know...)

Also - we're keeping the sex a surprise - figured we'd had enough surprises for now and totally happy to wait for it to make its grand entrance. Team Yellow!

Welcome Mrsksays we have a few team yellows I think, you are stronger then me, I NEED to know!

I am a team yellow!

comms I second Breaking Bad, it's brilliant. Sons of Anarchy and Dexter are good too. I think House of Cards is next up for us to watch, it has had really good reviews. If you just want to watch shite I'd recommend Vampire Diaries (I love it) :) I think Downton Abbey is on there too if you haven't seen that either. Not that I watch much tele......

Welcome mrsksays

Had the worst nights sleep ever. Woke up crabit and with zero motivation to do anything.

DP has had to put his van in for a service and pick up a courtesy car, which is good because it means he doesn't have a tracker. He can hopefully sneak home at lunch time.

We are either going to have bacon rolls or a bonk, I can't decide which I would prefer

Hi MrsKays! Can't believe you didn't find out until 14 weeks. That must have been a shock! So did you have no symptoms up until then? What finally gave it away? I am also on team yellow, by the way!

Hottie You could have both at once if you were careful

Hi to all the newbies. I haven't been on in a while so just catching up and marking my place on the new thread. Been feeling pretty shitty since last week (this 'easy' second trimester is such a myth!) and now I'm off work due to dizziness/fatigue/breathlessness/nausea etc etc. I just got to the point where I thought I needed to take better care of myself (and it's the one time in life when work can come second for a change!). Also had the flu jab yesterday - not sure if that's another reason for feeling so groggy today. How did everyone else feel the day or 2 after their flu jab??

comms TBH we changed our settings to the American Netflix so that we could watch Supernatural so I've no idea what's in the UK one.lol

Is it too early for a ham, pastrami and mustard sandwich? I'm in a mood and now I'm hungry.

Pain Can't say I felt anything after the flu jab. I mean, I felt shit, but that's totally normal.

Andie how do you change it to US???????

April You have to change your DNS settings. We watch it through XBox so looked for a YouTube tutorial on how to change it. People update the DNS codes in the comments section if one goes out of date. We still have UK Netflix on the IPad but don't watch that as often.

DD is having a nap and DP is having a lie in as he's "so tired" (hence my mood) so I'm now watching Chicago Fire and eating my sandwich in peace. Mood easing.

DS's first parents evening today and it's the book fayre so I've promised a book if we get a good report later. Dreading what he'll choose as much as talking to his mardy teacher, bless his weirdo ness.

Pain also off and feeling similarly shitty. Sometimes your body just needs a rest. I had a bit of an argument yesterday as I said I was going in today, then was lectured by 4 woman on staff about it. Today, I am so glad they did as I feel like crap.

MrsKays would also love to know the back story - must have been a shock to discover you were 14 weeks!

Welcome Mrsk. I am also not finding out the sex of our baby, this is our 3rd and we want one last surprise!

My womb is around belly button height. I'm feeling some kicks up there now but still mostly low down, and getting stronger now. It's mad to think in having a baby in 4 months!

I'm excited about tomorrow, hopefully it doesn't rain too hard. My grandma used to work at Cadburys world before she got married.

FoxMulder - I only missed one period which I put down to stress and same for tiredness and a bit of mild nausea that lasted literally a week - I just put it all down to stress and being really hot weather at the time. I wasn't showing a bit - it was all quite a shock!

Loving it now though - feeling little kicks and getting a lovely little bump....just want to get this 20 wk scan out of the way as I've watched too many pregnancy programs on TV and I'm terrified I'm having it all too easy and that something will be terribly wrong :(

thanks Andie ours is on the Xbox and ipad too so I will try it :)
