Ooh MustBe looks like a boy to me!

Stinkbaby · 11/02/2017 14:40

I keep getting sinus headaches too! Started on Monday and my Lord does it hurt! Had it for 3 days solid and now it just occasionally pops in, also have a nasty cough. Still get some nausea and sickness too. Just glad I can start eating some food again, I cried loads just because I was hungry and didn't want anything.

MissT2095 · 11/02/2017 17:55

Is anybody starting to show? A colleague pointed out to me yesterday that my tummy "had definitely rounded off" yeah, thanks then! And earlier today I went to visit my Mum who's first comment was "have you had a had a big lunch or is that a bump I can see"

I've definitely lost my flat tum but can't help thinking it's a bit early!!

yolkybokey · 11/02/2017 18:21

I am approx 12 weeks today and I definitely have the beginnings of a bump! I wore quite a tight skirt to work last week and got a couple of comments Shock

My scan is on Thursday and I am so happy it is nearly here. I feel like I've been waiting forever!!

Bryonie2017 · 11/02/2017 18:33

I'm 15 weeks now and I've been out of my usual clothes for about 2 weeks, I have a little bump that you would only notice if you knew I was pregnant iycwim :)

Timefor2 · 11/02/2017 18:35

I'm 15 weeks but with my second and definitely have a bump. Some is the flab I never lost from my last pregnancy but there's a round hard bit near the bottom so definitely some is baby related too. Smile

I look quite pregnant when wearing tight fitting clothes but look forward to about 20 weeks when you start to definitely look pregnant (or I did last time) rather than just 'has she put on some weight'.

Lovely to see some great scan pics. 16w midwife appointment next week - seems to be flying by now that the scan is out of the way.

MrsG280516 · 11/02/2017 19:12

I'm 15 weeks tomorrow but have had a little bump of some sort for a few weeks, it's not totally round as I think it's just moving all my organs about, I have an anterior placenta (at the front) so I think it won't pop out properly for a few more weeks.

watchingitallagain · 11/02/2017 19:16

I was 14 weeks yesterday and certainly have a bump. This is number three though and as one of my friends put it.... it's (lack of) muscle memory. Ha ha ha. Thanks for that mate!

Pisghetti · 12/02/2017 10:13

I had my 12 week scan on Friday and got put back a couple of days so am now 12+3 and due 24th August. This is number three for me too and I'm massive Confused it'll be a relief to tell people in work as I'm shuffling around in massive tops at the moment trying not to make it obvious.

WantingBaby1 · 12/02/2017 10:45

I'm definitely showing at 14.5 weeks. My fat under-bra rolls seem to have shrunk into a bump though so I don't really mind!

Brainfried1986 · 12/02/2017 23:05

Can't believe scan day is finally arriving! I reckon I'll be about 11+6 tomorrow - we shall see!
I'm beyond excited at the moment (we'll see how much sleep I get tonight) tho it is still tinged with some nervous anticipation too. The last 9 weeks feel like a lifetime, and yet now it feels like a proper beginning, especially since hopefully we can start sharing the good news. Please keep fingers crossed for me tomorrow! Hopefully I'll be posting a pic tomorrow evening...

Fieldandgrasses · 13/02/2017 07:01

Good luck, Brainfried!

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 13/02/2017 10:38

So after nesting from about 24 weeks with dc 3 & 4. I seem to be starting early this time, 12+4 & I've woken up with the urge to clean & organise. It might just be because it's sunny though Hmm.

ErneyAndAgnes · 13/02/2017 13:11

I've always had a round tummy so not really sure if its baby or bloat at the mo! Definitely more uncomfortable in my usual clothes though, and none of my jeans will button so I am certainly expanding. Not at the point that it's noticeable to others though yet. Maternity jeans are sooo comfy, even if they are really- baggy I don't care!
It's such a relief that everyone knows now and I don't have to hide my fatness.

Good luck Brainfried!

ZigAZigAhh · 13/02/2017 13:20

Good luck Brainfried and a huge congrats to all with lovely scans recently - so nice to read about them and see the photos Grin

Bernards I am very envious, our place is a tip and in desperate need of cleaning/organising but all I want to do when I am at home is lie on the couch Halo

I am still getting pretty miserable nausea every second day and have a dodgy tummy again which is adding to the joy. I will be 14 weeks on Weds and am hoping my yucky days are numbered...

I will be telling work this week too - I don't think I have a choice as I am now so bloated by the end of the day I think people are going to start being suspicious soon!

HN42 · 13/02/2017 13:56

Hello, I was wondering if I could join the group? I am pregnant with twins, due 15th August. And how do I join the facebook group?

Fieldandgrasses · 13/02/2017 14:28

Welcome, HN42! I'm due on 8th August - twins too! How're you feeling about it all?

Brainfried1986 · 13/02/2017 15:57

Thanks for the positive thoughts :) Here's our baby! Somewhat surprisingly I'm coming up at 15+5, so I've shot up in due dates from August 27th to August 2nd! Can't quite believe it, but so pleased cos now I feel like I can really spread the news around. No NT test for us today as baby is too big now, so I'll be doing the quadruple test instead when I see the midwife later this week. Really looking forward to seeing the baby again soon - only 4 weeks til the next scan which is cool!

MrsG280516 · 13/02/2017 16:02

HN42 if you can message me on here (internet browser only, not on the app) with the email address you use for Facebook then I can add you to the group. Same goes for anyone else wanting to join Smile

Lovely scan brainfried being put forward is great, its like you get to miss a few weeks of the early pregnancy stage. I'm having the quadruple test done too but have to wait another week and a bit till I'm past 16 weeks.

Sparklyuggs · 13/02/2017 16:25

Congratulations brainfried and you get to meet your baby much earlier! And maybe avoid a few weeks of being heavily pregnant in the summer :)

Welcome HN42 and congratulations on twins.

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 13/02/2017 16:26

ZigA it's taken a while to get to this point. I've been building up for the last couple of weeks. Sickness seems to be limited to 1st thing in the morning & last thing at night now with just background nausea in between so it's easier to get on.

Cor blimey Brainfried lovely to 'miss' a few weeks though. Great pic too!

Stinkbaby · 13/02/2017 17:09

Lovely pic brainGrin

NoCryingInEngineering · 14/02/2017 14:30

Hello folks, can I join you? EDD is 17th Aug, had our 12 week scan last week and all looks good so far.

Bryonie2017 · 14/02/2017 18:17

Hiya nocryinginengineering and welcome!

OkyDoke · 14/02/2017 20:19

Finally had my 12 week scan! Everything looks good, waiting for screening results now but have started telling a few people. So excited for the next bit now!
