The due in September crew head into the second trimester! :) (Thread 6)

[Treaclepie19]

Hi all! Stats sheet here :)

My 16 week appt is when I'm 19 weeks and my 20 week scan is 21 weeks haha!

Sweet. Thanks all. Will ring this morning. X

Some of my appointments were all over the place last time. I think it's just a rough guideline. In fact between me and the slightly dopey but lovely midwife we completely missed out one of the appointments by mistake!

sauv glad you're ringing. My MW booked my 16 week appt at my booking in at 8.5. I will be a bit over as dating scan brought me forward. I have to say I am extremely impressed with all my care and the efficiency I've experienced. I'm in Bristol and going for st Michaels.

Anyone who's on their second third etc pregnancy during your first can you remember when about you first felt any movement?

I know I won't yet but I'm not even sure when to expect it and did you know what it was? What does it feel like?

I've got a big st Patrick's do at work tonight, planning to just pretend to drink and keep losing my drinks! Hope I get away with it

Had a bit of a hormonal panic last night when I got in bed, me and DH can't agree on any names and I think since the scan the whole reality has just hit me, we really are going to have a baby! feel better this morning but couldn't stop crying last night, how am I gonna put up with 6 more months of these hormones!

Worry I felt movements at 16 weeks in my first pregnancy. Like little somersaults in my tummy.

I'm already feeling something this time. Tiny flickers but I'm sure it's moment. During the scan yesterday the baby flipped like a fish and I felt it.

I had an anterior placenta with my last so didn't feel loads of movement until later but the early stages felt a bit like bubbles popping inside.

I felt something this morning but convinced myself it's something else!

How far along are you worry

Worry I think the first kicks I felt with DC1 were after 20 weeks, though I may have had a few flutterings before then. DH didn't feel anything until well after 30 weeks! But he could hear the heartbeat by putting his ear to my bump. I had an anterior placenta so never felt many movements at all (struggled to get to 10 movements by midday even right at the end).

But scans showed DC1 was a whirling dervish in there and is an unstoppable zooming child, has been since birth (crawling at 5 months!!)

I'm 17 weeks today! I might be imaging it when I had my scan they said my bean looks very shy antisocial (takes after me already) and too comfortable to move haha.

This baby has been sound asleep during both scans! At the 12 week scan with DC1 she was yawning, waving, kicking legs. I am hoping for a sleepy little baby this time around (DD didn't sleep through until she was 2 - and has woken twice a night for the last 3 months - she's 3!)

I've booked in with MW bang on 16 weeks on 10th April...which also happens to be my 30th birthday!!!

Jess I thought you were Briz too I have also been totally impressed with my care thus far! I'm with Southmead, planning on going to Southmead birth unit for birth which is on same site as hospital - just a bit less hospital-y! X

Gosh I think we will be in for a whirlwind baby. Ours never stops moving at the scans.
Little fidget like their mom!

Well ao far DS has been sick everywhere and why oh why do they always manage to have a poo LITERALLY as you're leaving the house?! But on the plus side the antibiotics seem to have kicked in and his earache isnt hurting him today. He's now happy at preschool and ive managed to swap my mw appt back to tomorrow woo hoo!
I first felt fluttering around 18wks with DS (i think??) but ive been feeling them from around 13wks this time round. Kinda feels like when you have butterflies.

sauv I'm planning the same set up at st Mike's. Don't want major interference but know I need to be near all the services to feel safe. I'm not an over worrier, but mum and my sister are both children's nurses so I've always been well aware of all the problems that can exist. I'm a bit 'just in case'.

hey all :)
I'm new to the September crew, just found you. Waves
I have added myself to the stats sheet, but I'm at the bottom and not in date order, not not sure if I've done that right?

I'll move you up fixup :)
Hi and congratulations :)

Thanks v much :)

Just got back from 16 week midwife appointment, and lovely to hear a little speedy heartbeat

Shocked as well to see that my blood pressure is still just squeaking into the 'no need to treat yet' category. My technique of snoozing for half an hour before the appointment and going in still half asleep must have done the trick!

Waves at fixup

Talk about efficiency - been worrying about getting a phone call with blood results for past 3 days...just got home to a letter from hosp saying I'm low risk (letter was supposed to take two weeks!). HURRAH! Now to celebrate with a nice glass of....schloer! Haha! X

Put your schloer in a wine glass Sauv, it seems to trick work for me, I feel better about not having wine that way x

Excellent news about test results.
Don't drink the Schloer the night before a MW appointment or you'll end up with high glucose readings in your pee and have to go for further investigation!

Sauv, I got my letter today too! All low risk over here too, super pleased as its one less thing to worry about!
