Just checking in as haven't been on this for ages (lots of lurking, less writing), and haven't joined the FB group. 17+6 today, and all is still very quiet (not complaining, just feeling bad for people who have it much worse than I have done!). Scans seem to show everything is going fine so far, and have the anomaly scan on 29 January. Hoping not to find out sex, but our doctor is not the most discreet so prepared for it to slip out at some point over the next few months! Haven't felt any movements yet (or at least none that I can recognise as movements!), but last time we were there she said I had an anterior placenta so not overly surprised, albeit a bit disappointed...
Trying to do some practical organising - we're abroad and things here are EXTORTIONATE so planning to pick up the pram when we're back in the UK next month. In two minds what to do about breast pumps (so if anyone has any advice, it would be very welcome!) - I have to go back to work within 3-4 months, so if I want to breastfeed, pump is going to be essential. Was toying with either the Spectra or Medela Maxi (like S1 better, but easier to source spare parts for Medela), and have now become so indecisive that I'm thinking about buying neither, using a hand pump for the first couple of weeks, then getting my parents to bring one out when they come to visit (please let this baby be on time!).
