August 2014 - The thread fillers are also powering through their scans

[BunnyBaby]

How fast do we get through these threads?

Ruggle that's great! I go to 3 baby and toddler groups run by churches each week and they are fantastic! They all have a baby area and toys as well as toddler activities, coffee, biscuits etc. Two of them cost £2 and one is free. All run by kind friendly people too which helps when you're hZving a rough day. Would also second free post-natal groups ( although the Health Visitor at mine drove me mad!!)

Flymo, I'll weigh it and let you know how much it is. :-)

cheers Hungry!

Also - I've got an issue with "twinges" at the moment - anyone else having a sort of feeling in their fanjo (or perhaps it's more my weeing parts) that feels really similar to when you are desperate for a wee. But invariably it's not when I'm desperate for a wee. I've never had cystitis and am hoping it's not that!!! Equally I know I'm prone to all sorts of odd feelings in those regions just because of growth etc....

I've PM'd you, Flymo.

I don't have twinges like that. Plenty of others, but not that. I'd just put it down to pregnancy, if I were you! :-)

I love the What to expect book, you'll Like it Flymo.

I've got 4 different bible type books because friends and family have lent me them. Not really got stuck into them yet and not going back to one which showed a real life diagram of how big your cervix gets. I'll maybe have a gander while i'm in labour...

Flymo I'm having a lot of 'full bladder' feelings. Bit of pressure right at the front making me feel as though I need a wee but quite often I don't. Am just putting it down to pregnancy!!

ooh, thanks for that LondonChick, maybe it is pressure. Couldn't help feeling a bit as my colleague said "sounds like cystitis"! nice.

ha! pina! I would be all over that cervix pic!! I might dash home after work and start looking that sort of stuff up. Can't be too prepared, eh??!

I showed DH and he said thats not much is it. Err it's enough for me thanks...

Just need to say that I hate 'What to Expect'!! I got it from the Amazon prime lending library and so glad I never spent any money on it. It's patronizing and infantilizing!!! The little cheery cheesy jokes got on my nerves as well. I think there's far better info books than that one! Just my opinion....(don't mean to offend anyone who like it!!!)

Not offended Shak, Guess different people like different things, I do like pictures (that makes me sound like a right wally) thats what WTE lacked, but it's less of a pregnancy bible more of a common Q and A book isn't it.

Thanks for the fishslap it was needed lol!!!

Bubba all fine spot on with dates I had and looking very wriggly! NT was 1.3 just need to wait for bloods. Will pop pics on fbk later

Hope everyone elses scans were good x

thanks Shak - what do you recommend? and it's nice to hear from you - sorry I didn't say hi after you sent your long post!!

Great news lucyfluff. Flymo another good book is The Rough Guide to Pregnancy. Local libraries often have a fair few preggo books too

ooh, good point Thats, will look in charity shops too (my fave hunting ground)

I liked WTE because it's Q&A. You have a question, look it up, and get an answer. As a first timer I found it helpful and better than Google as it isn't alarmist.

And I don't want to read a book from cover to cover, just dip in as and when. :-)

But horses for courses. I'm also not looking at books this time either. Poor baby 2 is a neglected soul already!

Ah, excellent news, Lucy :-)

Can't wait to see the picture.

All went well at scan, moved forwards a few days as I had expected, I have a 26 day cycle.

Placenta anterior but low, hence I can still feel movements, they will be keeping an eye to see it move up. It's not covering the cervix so not too much of a problem. Just may mean more chance of posterior baby again.

Great news Lucy too!

Have amended my date on the list :-)

yippee for Bunny and Lucy!!

Good news lucy and bunny!

Flymo - I liked Emily Oster's "Expecting Better". I find for the week by week stuff the internet is just as good as any bible (and free)!

ah yes, shak, have read reviews of Expecting better. Will look out for it.

Great news Lucy and Bunny - congratulations!

Yay bunny for good scan news x

Great news on the scans, looking forward to the pics on FB later :)

I've also got 'The Day-By-Day Pregnancy Book' it's a DK book and has a page per day of info and also lots of extra stuff and Q and A's, highly recommended.

I remember worrying about dps lack of interest and having a real go last time. To be honest it's happening to your body 24/7 so you can't get away from it, whereas for them it becomes real in hospital. It's not a sign that they won't be a good dad.

Congratulations on the scans everyone!

Flymo - I'm constantly feeling like I need the loo but when I go: nada. It's driving me a bit crazy!

More brown spotting today too. Really hoping its still nothing and just counting down till Monday and seeing my little one again. Was told last weekend I have a low lying placenta and wondering that that could cause it?
