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

[Treaclepie19]

Hi all! Stats sheet here :)

Thinking about you kitty. I will be having a cvs next week so good to hear that the procedure is not too bad.

Ahhh Mrsdos this is true :)

Sorry to hear you are feeling rubbish, I'm at the end of
My third week of work due to severe HG and whilst I do feel guilty as others have to pick up the already stretched workload (3 of us doing the work of 8 people) It is important to look after ourselves for the sake of our babies and I'm sure, once we have given birth, this will be a distant memory which we would all do again 1000 times over :) x

Was going to tell my parents this weekend, but can't decide whether to wait until this time next week when I'll have the results from the Harmony test back

Also having to restrain myself from buying baby stuff in the Boden sale as I feel it's still a bit early; am going all soppy eyed at the prospect of 3 month old snowsuits...

Back from scan, went perfectly :) been moved 2 days forward so now due 12th September :) I'm 13 weeks tomorrow! Nuchal measurement was 1.8mm so very pleased with that :) will post our announcement photo too :)

Our announcement photo :)

How did the kids react spam?
Lovely scan pic, buts got all your details at the top. You ought want to remove it and repost a cropped version.

Cropped version this time ha ha! Reported the last one to be deleted ;)

mummy the girls were very happy! Showed them the body suit and they couldn't figure it out, thought it was ready for when we have a baby. Had to give them the scan photo to make it sink in :)

Hi All, I'm 15 weeks today and feeling a bit less tired- still in bed by 8.30 most nights though!!
Just wondered if anyone else is having odd nasal symptoms- when I blow my nose ( in the mornings it's awful) it is often bloody on the tissue, but not a nose bleed as such. Guess it's a minor thing, just wanted to check I'm not the only one!!

toffee my nose swelled up a few weeks back and bled so the whole nostril scanned up. It's apparently due to pregnancy hormones expanding the blood vessels :)

*scabbed not scanned :/

Toffee, yes very congested nose over night and often small amount of blood in tissue. Apparently normal.

toffee I have the same

Thank you for reporting how the CVS went kitty. Got told today that my bloods came back with 1:18 risk of downs..
So am booked to have CVS on Monday. Feel flattened as had just allowed myself to get a bit excited after the scan when the NT was low. On the plus side was really impressed with the lady that called from the hospital, she was utterly brilliant explaining things and generally really kind. Apprehensive about the results and nervous about the procedure, the only positive was that as the odds were so bad it made deciding to have the test simpler.;

Ah thank you! Don't recall this with previous pregnancies so good to hear it's normsl. One other thing .. I'm sure I felt movemenrs last week, but now they've stopped?? Not worried as such, but wonder if the uterus has moved 'up' so it's got more space now, hence I can't feel anything. Just my weird theory probably.

I've got the congestion and slightly bleedy nose too. Not worrying though.
Spam that reaction sounds funny, I bet you laughed! :)
Elio and Kitty keeping everything crossed that your results come back clear.

Toffee I've had the same since a couple of days after I found out at 4+2.

Elio and Kitty I'm thinking of you both and really hoping things turn out better than expected. I think you're both being remarkably brave.

I'm not a regular poster, but I had my 12 week scan this week and it's made it feel all more real. After two previous losses, I feel as though I can start to get excited now! We decided against any 'big announcement', so we are just telling people as we see them or speak to them. My dates were spot on, so due date is confirmed as 15th September (however I will take this with a pinch of salt, as my daughter was over 5 weeks early)!

Sorry for the ladies who have had bad news or awaiting test results, you are very brave and you know there is tonnes of support on here if you need it!

New bras arrived this morning. I've gone up a cup size and it's so nice to have ones that actually fit properly!

In other news, someone asked if I was pregnant. I'm only 10+6 and on the (very) chubby side so I'm surprised they could notice, even though I can feel my belly popping out now.

Glitterball my scan is the 23rd aswell, I'll be 13+1 then. It does feel like ages to wait which is why I booked a private one for yesterday!

Here's my little peanut

GoooRooo I'm holding off for a bit before getting new bras but some days I just can't manage. I'm currently sat at work and desperate to undo mine. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, I don't wear bras at the weekend any more

Awww cute beautyboo

Strawberry get bra extenders! Otherwise you end up buying so many bras in pregnancy, seems such a waste. I went between so many sizes through my last pregnancy and 18 months of breastfeeding, I cringe at the amount of money I must have spent so this time I'm making do with what I've got and bra extenders.

That's lovely beauty

Thinking of you both elio and kitty
