Thanks for all the travel advice guys feeling very much more reassured now and dare I say excitied. Not quite booked it yet but will hopefully do so tonight.
Scan next Thursday!
Sorry tmi but my butt is so sore today waaaaaa stupid constipation can barely sit down for any period ffs

@hotpinkangel I'm very sorry for the loss of your mum. How very special if your baby were to share her birthday.

Wow, so many scans! Well done everyone, and to those about to scan, we salute you! X

@MissyJones80s Montenegro sounds amazing! Do just check the limits of your travel insurance regarding pregnancy though. Mine covers up to 26 weeks, so early September would be OK, but my brother's wedding in the US in late September is out. Yours might be different.

@Victoriaaaa I'm the same! I've always been small on top, and my boobs were a bit sore (nothing severe) and grew only slowly, a little bit--maybe a half cup size. Now that I'm nearly 15 weeks it seems to have settled at that, and apparently a lot of women don't get the big growth spurt until right at the end of pregnancy. Incidentally, I got some smaller size maternity bras at H&M and they are super comfy :) Hope your scan went/goes well!

Thanks all for the solidarity regarding the pain in the tail! Apparently it is a normal thing that should eventually get better as I continue my stretches. I blame it on the fact that my bump isn't really apparent yet, so the uterus is likely pushing in and onto the coccyx rather than popping out. It all has to go somewhere! Will soldier on :)

Hope everyone's scans go well today!

WLM I've just changed travel insurance to cover what I need for October. You shouldn't have to miss your brother's wedding.

I phoned our travel insurance provider about flying whilst pregnant and said I couldn't find any info about it in my policy or in the declarations part, but I was only going to be 14 weeks. The guy responded with "well pregnancy isn't an illness, it's a fact of life! " it made DH and I laugh a lot.

Gender scan booked . 3 weeks today!!! Seems like a lifetime.

All good here. Dead proud of my little one. Fab heartbeat fluttering away and flipping over and wriggling everywhere giving the scanner lady a hard time! EDD is now 22nd Jan which is more in line with the dates I had worked out so very happy!

Hope everyone else has had a good day.

Lovely! Glad it went well.

And a pic (now I've cropped my name off! 🙄) although she wasn't happy with them as mostly blurry so she let us have them for free! Bonus!

Did the baby not move at anyone's ultrasounds? I had one on Saturday at 10+1, heartbeat was good and everything looked fine just no movement! Am I worrying for nothing? Should there of been movement?

Lovely scan @Seven!

@Gemmaaaax mine didn't move much for first half, then moved loads. As long as there was a strong heartbeat and the sonographer (is that the right word?!) wasn't worried then I wouldn't think too much of it, baby's probably just having a rest :)

@MissyJones80s I feel you on the constipation front 😫😫 anyone got a tips to help apart from prunes which make me feel queasy at the thought!

So lovely to see everyone's scans. I have mine on Friday and I am so nervous!

Re travel insurance, I went skiing with my first at 12 weeks - the insurers didn't bat an eyelid. I then flew to Spain for a friend wedding and come back 2 days before the airline cut off which I think was 34 weeks. But try a different insurer, I had to get a different policy but it was only about £20.

I know it's crazy early but I have felt little flutters the last few days! Google tells me that's possible with number two- but I think I was about 20weeks last time! It's nice to feel- not looking forward to having a foot rammed between my ribs though!!

Evening all, I lost the thread for a while there! Nice to get caught up. Missy I'm having the same issues - considering a trip to NYC and will be around 20wks. Worrying about everything! The only advice I've had is to just go for it!

Morning girls, I've woken up today and my little bump feels so much flatter. I'm 15 weeks today and whilst I feel fine other than this it's worrying me a little. Has anyone else experienced this? Probably worrying about nothing as might have been bloating before? x

Mummy - mine hasn't increased much recently after being large early on- I'm sure it's just the bloat settling down.

Mummym33 my last pregnancy my bump would completely change shape throughout the day. I wouldn't worry!

Hello! Has anyone found a good place to buy pregnancy workout gear that doesn't cost the earth? Finally feeling well enough to start doing some exercise again and my gym leggings are rather tight!!

@MummyM33 I'm also 15 weeks today and my bump definitely has not grown for a while. I put it down to being less bloated and constipated, finally! The tailbone pain is convincing me that it is still growing in there, it's just pushing in rather than out!

@ElleMcElle it's bleeding impossible on the high street!!! I always prefer to try things on, but I've been everywhere looking for maternity workout gear (specifically just for yoga) and they all look at me blankly. "Exercise is so important during pregnancy! Exercise! Oh, you need clothes to exercise in? Ummm..." Google and online shopping is our friend here I think, and I'm afraid it could be expensive as none of the normal brands seem to have maternity lines (even online). I did find a pair of loose harem-style yoga pants at the Adidas outlet so in the end I got them (it's a fold-over waistband that is not tightly elasticated, so it will go over your bump. Whether or not it stays put, we shall see...)

Thank you ladies, as I've eaten more through out the day it has got bigger so it seems to be fluctuating each day! Just can't wait to get a proper bump!! x

@WLMcI - Yes, there's nothing! Have ordered a few cheapies from the sale at Mothercare and will see if they're any good... Went to a pregnancy yoga class last night and a swim this morning. Feels so good to be able to exercise again - I didn't feel well enough during first trimester.

Had my dating scan and 12+5 which ties in with the date I got a positive opk exactly! Bit strange that that sit for scans now until 20 weeks I've had 4 scans up to now so shouldn't be greedy! So I suppose the next excitement is feeling movement can't wait!

Had scan today! It was amazing to see the baby moving around. Strong heartbeat and everything was fine 😊 I had a consultant appointment after because I have high bp but it's always been borderline for treatment. At the midwife it had gone down but today it was sitting 132/92 and the consultant has put me home with a bp monitor for 24 hours but they seemed quite keen to start me on meds (depending on the results of the 24hr monitor). Anyone experienced this or have any thoughts? It would sound like I'm more at risk of preeclampsia (at the same time, not getting worked up at the moment... no point until results are back... maybe I was just excited over the scan - just be nice to know what I may come across now )
