Congrats on the 'pink' news tranq!!
Dh is still adamant he doesn't want to find out but I really don't know if I'm patient enough to wait!!
I wonder if any of you can help me?? I'm going to post my 12 week scan pic again because since I got it on Tuesday I've has lots of comments about how big my uterus is... Should I be worried?? Lots of other people's babies seem squished in and cosy, mine has all the room in the world! It's the mansion equivalent of a uterus!! Why would it be so much larger than anyone else's I've seen?? Any info welcome... Can't find out much from Dr. Google!!! This is my first child and I'm around average height/weight, althoughi do have a hard, round bump already!!! Wondering if this is why....

Congratulations on all the good scans :) love the pics. Sorry hexy I'm rubbish at nub guessing, but that's a really clear one! Could try posting it on in gender :)

Feeling loads better today but pulled a muscle in my back while coughing and struggling to move much today. DH is off work so I'll have a good excuse for him to wait on me hand and foot.

Taking DS out to see Father Christmas in his grotto later. He's so excited, he's been jumping up and down since about 5 this morning. Xmas Grin Then going to start wrapping the massive pile of presents tonight yay.

15 weeks today and according to my app baby is the size of an apple. Then why do I currently look like its the size of a small melon?! Must be all those mince pies Xmas Wink

Tryingreallyhard84 · 13/12/2014 08:19

Oo, what lovely scan news/pics and even a gender reveal! What a lovely Friday. Good luck for more gender updates today cuphat!

I told some friends yesterday and it was lovely. What wasn't so lovely was a Friday night out, in December when you're the sober one! Also, got my first tummy rub off a person who hated having her tummy rubbed when she was pregnant. She blamed the alcohol ans looked very apologetic. Xmas Grin

JennyOfOldstones · 13/12/2014 08:26

I have had a couple of tummy rubs trying and I loved it! Although they were rubbing my fat rather than the baby so it was a bit odd.

I have discovered something else, drunk people are boring. Or maybe it's just my friends! It's going to be a long pregnancy...

sparkle17 · 13/12/2014 09:14

Yes drunk people are boring and not that funny.

A girl tranquility, thats so exciting.

Last weekend of keeping it a secret for me (all being well with the scan)
I think there are only 4 ladies left to have their dating scan
Exciting.

Tranquilitybaby · 13/12/2014 10:56

I'm sure I can feel flutterings. Bit of pressure then tiny movements

Orville82 · 13/12/2014 14:59

Thanks for all the congratulations. Lovely scan news for others too and a little girl tranq - lovely!

Told my little brother and his pregnant wife last night but was a bit apprehensive as we didn't want them to think we were stealing their thunder with them having the first grandchild. Don't know why We were worried as their reaction was amazing! There's less than 5 weeks between us so very exciting. Can't wait to tell my parents on Monday. Have popped a scan pic into their Xmas card saying "You wait ages for a grandchild then two come along at once". Mum had better cry - she cries at everything!

Got my last ever flight tomorrow as I won't be going back to this job after the baby. Kind of a weird feeling after almost 11 years but after 2hrs 20 mins sleep Thursday night, 3 hrs last night and an alarm set for 2.15am tomorrow, I certainly won't miss the tiredness or a lot of the passengers Grin

Alisvolatpropiis · 13/12/2014 15:14

Good lord Orville you are a better woman than me. I honestly couldn't have coped with that level of sleep deprivation!

Starting to show a bit now, which is exciting but also a bit worried that 14 weeks is a bit early to be showing? Can only really see it when I have no clothes on.

TheDetective · 13/12/2014 15:30

Tranquility I'm feeling movements now at 13 weeks - the last 2 days actually. I only realised while I was being scanned that the movements I was seeing on the screen, I could feel gently inside me! Can feel it now as I type, but I do have to concentrate to feel it, it's just like pressure!

I felt my first at spot on 16 weeks. But my second I thought I was feeling but wasn't sure until 18 weeks which surprised me as being my second, I should have felt sooner! I actually had an anterior placenta and an extra 3 stone on me, so that's probably why Grin.

Alis I also have a little flabby bump now Hmm which doesn't exactly look flattering on me. Oh well!

I kicked DH out today. I feel surprisingly okay about it. It's not like I haven't known it was coming. He has failed to prove himself after what he put me through recently. I found out today he'd been lying to me about playing on the xbox. It was one of his 'promises'. He would give it up completely. I just can't be arsed putting myself through the heartache when he can't even do basic shit to prove himself to me. Fuck that shit.

I'm anxious about sleepless nights. I didn't cope well last time. I had a baby with reflux and dairy/soya intolerance. He's still got the intolerances. I'm praying desperately that this baby sleeps. If I can have 5 hours unbroken sleep I can cope. I'm really really worrying about it. That and if my children have to stay with him. I don't want them to. I don't want them away from me.

Oh Detective that's sad news about you and DH but considering his history, and doubts you've had for a while then you have to do what feels right for you and your children. Stay strong. X

Alisvolatpropiis · 13/12/2014 15:44

Same here sun, I was just hoping I would be one of those who didn't show until quite late. Avoiding telling work as not permanent there.

Oh Detective, I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds as though you are confident in your choice, which is good. Hope you have real life people rallying around you.

Just a quick update: as predicted, it's a boy! Nub theory was right! Very happy. Went out and bought the first outfit, as we did for DD on the day we found out she was a girl.

Will catch up later.

Oh, and we had a lovely scan experience, as we did last time. They showed us everything in detail and we got to see baby in 4D.

Only bad news is I have an anterior placenta again, so more worry Sad

cuphat · 13/12/2014 16:16

Thanks sunbathing!

Alisvolatpropiis · 13/12/2014 16:16

Congratulations cup! Smile

mummymog · 13/12/2014 16:39

So exciting all the sexes coming in. :) I can properly feel my twinnies now- they seem to like their big sister, they only move it seems when sges prodding me.

I'm making a conscious effort to gain weight and eat more protein, meant to help with not having preterm low birth weight twins. Seems so counter intuitive to me to TRY to gain 2 tones, particularly since it was only last week I was thinking ' yay I've put on no weight yet, maybe I'll look good after they're born' need to be less shallow and think of the babies. Oh brought me peanuts to snack on.

Bellejessleo · 13/12/2014 17:16

detective I'm sorry you're having a stressful time, but good on you for standing up for yourself and not taking the crap.
Wow it's so exciting guessing gender, and amazing some of you already know for sure! I'm going mad guessing. I think I have a nub pic..would someone tell me if it is a nub? And take a guess at what it might be??

Thanks sun that's what I think! They do look the same. But looking on these forums I can't honestly see much difference if any between the boy and girl ones! We will find out on the 7th jan! I booked a gender scan for as soon as I possibly could, DH thinks I should just hold out for the 20 wk scan, but I'll go round the bend by then!
Are you having a gender scan? I will be keeping an eye out if u do!

Cuphat lovely news and little boy, aww.

Tranquilitybaby · 13/12/2014 17:44
