Hello ladies - here we are on number 6! Let the chat continue! x

Ah Kaytee and Scandinavian - congrats! Lovely news. Just what we need right now.

Carla - wouldn't worry about bladder, seems opinion changes everywhere...no one mentioned it to me.

Thom - yep Xmas bonanza!

Hey speak pka culture !

I'm testing the new version of the iphone app and one of the things they asked us to do was name change. I must remember to change back!

YouAndMeAreGoingToFallOut- my midwife thought I might have SPD so referred me at 15wks to Physio. Thankfully the test proved negative for me and I was told I have pelvic girdle pain (issue with the back of the pelvis only).
Perhaps the GP would refer you to an obstetric Physio if MW or Consultant won't?

Allthegoodnames-

Carla- I was told full bladder for 20wk scan but was told to go empty it half war through. My bump seems bit more consistent this week (I'm 21+6 today), but before that it changed size depending on how she was laying I worked out (my pelvis issue hurt more when bump was smaller which I think meant he was laying in my pelvis like a hammock / horizontally.

Congratulations on the scans ladies. Sorry to hear of those with hip/pelvis pains. I feel like I've been kicked in the foof with pressure the last few days
Chuckling at the rubbish DH presents. Last year for Xmas was a cupcake maker. The biggest waste of money never known. At least the stapler is useful
Good news on the results bluebell

Hi all, had a killer of a cold and not been well at all hence why I've been quiet. Congrats to those who've had their scans

No real movement again here. I was getting some I could feel with my hand and now nothing for two days, trying to stay chilled

20+4

Speak- I had a full bladder, and was only told to empty it to try and moved little mans position.. That didnt work hes a stubborn baby already:L

Hello ladies,

A busy time for scans! Here's my little man today at our 20 week scan. All looking good

Ellizardo - world's strongest magnets?! Oh my! You need to start dropping some hints about how much you would love to make your own ice cream!

Carla good luck with the scan tomorrow. Like bird, I was told to come in with a full bladder for mine. I did, and the baby was super still because he was so squashed, so they got a load of measurements very quickly - but then I had to go and empty my bladder so that he would move and they could see more!

allthegood sometimes these things come into their own later on! I quite regret having got rid of an EasiYo yoghurt maker that my nan gave me. I got rid of it because it was quite large and DH was on a real kick to clear out things that we weren't using, but I really fancy having a go at making my own yoghurt now that I'm not flat-out teaching full-time... I'll probably have to buy another one, darn it!

Kaytee, Hopes and Scandi: congratulations!

Cookies, what even is a cupcake maker?! Is it a moulded oven or something?! I am struggling to imagine that one!

I am having slight health anxiety again. I have never, ever been so much of a hypochondriac as I am at the moment. I think it is the combination of the fears of a) something being wrong with the baby, b) something being wrong with me that will affect the baby, and c) something being wrong with me that will kill me and leave the baby without a mother. Dear lord!

This time it's because I got a leaflet through the post from Macmillan about being breast aware, and it mentioned rashes on the breast. I had a rash on my breast near the nipple a week or two ago that was a bit swollen and sore. I said to DH at the time that I would go to the GP if it didn't go away, but it was gone within 24 hours. Now, OBVIOUSLY, with the arrival of this breast leaflet, I am imagining the absolute worst, and calculating how long it would take to diagnose me with breast cancer, and how many weeks pregnant I would be then, and whether the baby could survive...

I will ring the GP tomorrow because, you know, better safe than sorry, but I'm just wondering whether anyone else is having these kind of catastrophising thoughts? I always find it so hard to differentiate between what is rational and irrational thinking...!
