The maybies are in the second trimester and (hopefully) entering the blooming phase just in time for a cozy Christmas. Thread no 5?!

And me!!

I had a successful maternity jeans shopping trip yesterday - ended up with two pairs from top shop, skinny ones in black and dark blue. I think they're called Leigh. Oh my god so comfortable!!! Also bought a stretchy black skirt. So that should do me for now. Luckily I can wear jeans for work. Thanks for the advice ladies!! Bump has really popped out since earlier this week. Does anyone else's feel a bit sore? I guess it's kind of growing / stretching or something?

I love my Leigh jeans Hezbean, so comfy! How far along are you? I'm 20+5 and 2-3 weeks ago was really quite sore for about a week. By the end of it though my bump had properly popped, no hiding I'm pregnant now! Not as sore this past week or so - occasional, what I assume are, growing pains.

Replied to all the PMs I've received (I think!).

Got another rehearsal today from 1 till 7 so not too bad but still it's a Sunday! What happened to day of rest

Getting proper kicks now, felt one on the outside yesterday so just waiting for OH to be able to feel them :)

20+6 today :)

I can't wait until DH can feel the baby move!

Yes to feeling sore, I'm 20 weeks today without much of a bump (bit overweight tho) and yesterday had so many pains around my belly and shooting pains. They're away today so I'm thinking it was either growing pains or trapped wind

I'm 18 weeks today (or is it tomorrow?! Losing track...). Yesterday it felt really uncomfortable like a hard lump in my pelvis and I could see how, in a few weeks,bending over will be difficult!! Feels like everything is stretching, it's weird isn't it!! Exciting though. Since there's a visible bump my dh is so much more excited. Yesterday he was playing it some of his favourite songs, very cute!!!

Not had many pains but to say I'm overweight I've got a definite bump. It seems to have grown even more since Wednesday. My sister was round yesterday and thought it had too. Weird! :-)

17 + 1

It is so exciting :) And very cute that your DH was playing it his favourite tunes! My DH has felt faint trembles from the outside, getting a bit stronger now.

OH and I are knitting together well... he's knitting, I'm making a mess and he's fixing it when I go wrong

Unfortunately he is determined to play it dire straits!!! Baby will be stuck in the 80s! Hilarious.

How cute on the knitting moomin :-)

Hi guys! Welcome jelly, coffee and lynca and Congrats all on good scan news! 19wks tomorrow, still not much in way of bump -but jeans definitely tight around waist - and no movement yet but have check up on weds and a scan on thurs.... so will find out if all well and team blue or pink!!

Sadly dh has been asked to stay in the Philippines until late Jan and we came to a decision that me goingout to a post typhoon area 'in my current condition' want sensible! Will be really sad not to have Christmas together, but have booked a ticket to the UK so am fllying home for Christmas instead! Mum and dad and everyone are excited to have me home and i can't wait to see them all! May even get some baby shopping done with my mum as everything v. Hard to get here and expensive when you find it.
Will be home by Saturday, whoop!!
Hi pixie kernow bys vyken! Another proud cornish girl here, despite currently living in Zimbabwe, am also looking at predominately cornish names!
Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend and relaxing before the Christmas rush, I'm chilling in the garden with he hounds. Bliss xx

moomin have pm'd about Facebook, hope you get it ok! Love the idea of knitting together! Xx

I'm jealous of your bumps, I feel like I just ate too much cake. 18 weeks tomorrow. Feeling really excited now. Want to start buying stuff!

My bump has popped out too now hezbean. I definitely look pregnant. 19 weeks today! According to my pregnancy app, the baby now measures 10 inches from head to toes!!! The maybies/definites are growing!!

Thanks for sorting FB group moomin!

Welcome newbies

Thank god I've found the thread again! I'd lost it somehow and as I hadn't posted for a while (been reading sneakily at work) it didn't come up in the threads 'I'm on'. Anyway I'm baaaaaaack

No bump here either just fat still fit in my normal jeans but mw says growth of uterus (so I'm assuming baby too) is 'lovely'!

How can i be added to the fb group please x

Hi Moomin...I sent you a pm re Facebook

Thanks!!

I'm huge here. Big bump. Was the same with DS. Look about 7 months sometimes! People love pointing it out too. What can I do?? I'm not about to start breathing in!! gah. I m gonna have another 9+lb baby!

I'm getting lots of stretching pain too and feeling little kicks. 19 weeks tomorrow :)

Does anyone get swollen legs or feet yet? I've spend so much time standing or sitting still this weekend that my legs are really swollen and itchy. They'll be fine again by morning, but it's annoying.
Hope everyone is doing well! Like seeing the bump pics on fb!

Hi all, glad people are well and welcome newbies

I'm getting bigger and bigger, can't hold it in! 18 weeks tomorrow still think I look fat in the stomach area as opposed to pregnant, i.e. you wouldn't definitely KNOW if you looked at me, might just wonder. Looking forward to being definitely pregnant as I just feel fat and I've spent my whole adult life trying to look thin and now I can't avoid looking fat! It's not much of a problem though, I'm very lucky to be healthy and feeling pretty ok most of the time and have a healthy baby.

Scan is on 6th January - will be finding out gender unless it doesn't feel like playing! Can't wait. No preference either way but just want to know!

Feeling a bit down at the moment because I'm tired and did loads of cleaning earlier and got so knackered and my back hurt then been to MILs and she annoyed me, nothing particular, just insensitive and grrrr stupid woman doesn't think and talks utter crap. need to sleep now.

Good night all, hope the coming week is nice to you and your babies

Soooo excited got our 20 week scan tomorrow morning to excited to sleep hehehe

The bump picks are great makes me realise i am normal size and will stop worrying im going to get told of for being so big and baby is going to be massive

19+2

Let us know how the scan goes chip! Mine is on Friday and I'm counting down the seconds!

Good luck for all of the scans today and this week. Looking forward to hearing about team pink, blue and yellow babies.

Welcome to all the newbies and great to hear lovely scan news :) a week to go until ours so excited :)

Had to bite the bullet and pull out my 'fat wardrobe' as bump is now getting too big! I lost 3 and a half stone early last year and luckily kept all of my old clothes, bras etc :) they have come in very handy!

Feeling lots of movement and even kicks after worrying that I'd only been feeling flutters for weeks. it feels like a little twitch to me, but I know it's not a twitch because it's not constant. Had about 6 episodes of kicking yesterday (probably noticed it because I was lounging on the couch most of the day) but even experimented at poking my belly and baby poked back, it's very exciting :)

19+3 today

Off to try and get doc appt as had a chesty cough for nearly three weeks! Two occasion making me wake up choking myself :-(
