January 2015 - More scans, kicks, hiccups and glowiness - thread #8

[ChineseFireball]

How's this, ladies? Old thread is here - can someone add the stats linky?

Kate!

Arse and bugger - I've just realised I've doubled booked... I've a ticket for Bumpfest but it's the same day as my hypnobirthing course! Gah! Just emailed the hypnobirthing lady to see if I can reschedule.....

Thank you ladies - again you have been so supportive. Bleeding stopped yesterday then restarted in the night just after I had been (be prepared for TMI!) straining for a bowel movement -I am starting to see a potential link. I started taking new vitamins with iron on Monday and have been a bit blocked up since - still regular BMs but much more difficult and the bleeding coincides with this. I've stopped taking the vitamins and am eating lots of soft fruit today so we'll see if that has an impact. If not I will be back on to widwife but just thougth I'd try a bit of self-diagnosis!!

Dec2013 the term knicker watch made me laugh as that is exactly how it is!! I think anyone who hasn't been through pregnancy doesn't get this!! Going to the loo becomes such a big deal!

Katethehuman I think the £55 will be money well spent as half the battle with swimming is walking from the changing rooms to the pool!! The more comfortable you feel the more likely you are to actually go!

Katniss that sounds so lovely- what a great place to be in :-) I felt like that the other day when we had an offer accepted on a house- just imagining our future is so exciting!!

SK28 When I asked my gym about exercise classes they pretty much shut me down and said if the instructor knew me and I was a regular they might consider it however if not it was unlikely. Difficult as before I Had gone runnign and swimming and only ever done classes when it was raining!

sprout That'd be awesome if you've found the problem! Good luck with future....movements! :) And yeah about the long walk! I'm dreading it! So I hope the dress looks ok. And definitely going during the ladies only session!

Owls! Love the idea of gestating an owl in the next couple weeks.

Aww, Katniss, love that. And I know what you mean - the highs are spectacular!

Yep, you got that right Pru. I am going to be exhausted come Sunday. And enjoy sharing the news with your friends! I bet they'll be thrilled.

I'm just catching up with OBEM and that bit in the opening credits where the MW is giving the newborn a cuddle and gives that purr of happiness... makes me want January to get here SO BAD. I really want to cuddle my baby! Gah.

Oh and well spotted Sprout! Good luck with the soft fruit improving matters.

I know what you mean Rum, I can't wait for that first squidge

19+5

i start my antenatal fitness group tonight. I'm a little bit fluttery as this is The One in the village and the people I'll meet tonight are my local peers. I'm totally going to wash my hair and iron my P.E. kit....

I was going to go to aqua natal tonight but apparently there's only two other people booked in!! Doesn't seem worth it when it'll be a 2 hour round trip.... Shaved me nethers for nowt!!

No wait, that's a lie. I've got dildo cam tomorrow. Phew.

Where is the antenatal swimming, Rpopz? I need to get me some of that!

Good luck vivipru that's exactly how I'd be remember stay open to everyone so you don't get pinned down by the class weirdo!! (As a teacher I know there's always a class weirdo you don't want to sit next to!) have a great time!

Sounds like you've got a great day lined up tomorrow rpopz ! Good luck.

I'm the same Rum - that bit in the credits makes me melt every time! I'm so excited to meet our baby, I don't know how many times a day I imagine that moment!

They do it at one of the big leisure centres/ gyms near us Henrietta. It's a bit of a trek though so think I'll wait til DH can take me!

God that is a trek, RPopz, what direction? An hour south and you'd be practically on my doorstep! Every cloud though, nice and trim for inspection time!

I probably am the class weirdo, sprout

It's only that long cos I don't drive and there's no direct public transport between me and the gym... so it'd mean faffing with buses/ trams. I'm too lazy, its official

that made me chuckle vivipru I'm the one in the corner screaming 'please be my friend...like me!!!'

Haha Rpopz! I'm sure you can arrange some appreciation for your trimmed nethers this evening...?

G'luck Pru! Don't be too weird!

The belly's at that stage where, even though it still doesn't look impressive in most clothes, there's that really round bit emerging in the middle. And I just want to rub it all the time like a pregnant cliche.

Afternoon everyone :) any scans today? I'm a bit demob happy because I don't have to go to work tomorrow - I usually don't work Wednesdays but this week I had to visit one of my sites to talk to them about a recent assessment on Wednesday so I have swapped my day and now it feels like Friday...but there's still a Friday to come! Yippee!! Also, DH is going to the rugby tomorrow night so that means tonight is PIZZA night :D AND, and, AND (!!!!!!) because DH is out tomorrow, and DS isn't at nursery, so won't have a nap, and will go to sleep promptly at 7.15, I have a night in by MYSELF. I'm going to have a curry and watch rubbish on the telly. Joy joy joy :D

Feeling very tired today though. Has anyone else been waking up at silly o'clock and not going back to sleep? I'm getting to the "pillows everywhere" stage and just can't get comfortable.

20+6 :)

Evening everyone - new to the group , just added my details to the stats doc - doesn't look like I've got a due date buddy yet!

Currently 17 + 4

Hello rose

I worry I'm also the class weirdo vivi...

Just caught up vivi - hope the class went well!

How do I join the facebook group?

Ooh excellent, Rpopz: if it's council run I'm already a member! :)

Are you in Sheffield Henrietta (sorry I lose track of everyone!!) AquaNatal is at Hillsborough SIV. There's an NHS run one as well at King Edwards school.

How'd it go Vivi??

Welcome Rose

I work in Sheff, Rpopz, and live in a town with a rude name, just north!

I love Hillsborough SIV so will DEFINITELY be going to this when I get back from holiday!

Hi Rose! I'm 17+3 so we are almost due date buddies :)
