bluebell I had my mw appointment on Monday and nothing too eventful at all. Although I imagine you will be back from yours already now lol. Urine dip and blood pressure. They don't listen in for heartbeat until 22w appointment here then just asked if any concerns or changes since last time then sent on my way!

So I felt definite movements last night! Baby was prodding, it went on for a few minutes. I'd had a drink of coke so maybe the baby was buzzing from it 😂 very exciting though and will reassure me for a little longer!

😂 sugar buzz...

16w today! We have another scan in the afternoon!! Hoping we find out the sex of our little Bee!❤️

Come to think of it, maybe it's the small amount of caffeine in my daily half-caff coffee that makes Little Biker so active?? All the big movements I've noticed these last few days have been immediately post-morning coffee (husband kindly brings me a cup before he goes to work ☺️)... Maybe I'll experiment with pushing my coffee back tomorrow morning and see what he's like then!

Exciting, @rebs1993 !

Good luck rebs
MW doesn't do 16w heartbeat here but at 25w I believe - funny how it's so different!
biker my LO is active in the bath or after dinner, perhaps he's not a fan of my digestive system?! I've just eaten lunch so will see if he gives me a protest

16 weeks today here too rebs :) gender scan on Friday. Hope you find out yours today, so exciting!

So jealous of everyone feeling movement.. nothing here yet (early days I know).

I heard the heartbeat at the 16w however my pregnancy is consultant led not mw led so maybe this is why.

No movement here. I felt what seemed like a tickling sensation at just over 16 weeks, but nothing since.

Hi all. Long story short but midwife appointment didn't happen today. Hoping to get seen tomorrow instead. Hope you've all had a good day.

@rebs1993 did you manage to find out?

That's a shame Bluebell. I hope you get an appointment tomorrow.

Jealous of all the movements. Going to try some romance tonight and see if baby will wriggle about afterwards or for OH.

Hi bluebell! No didn't manage to find out, date change from 20th to 22nd now but we've booked our gender scan for Sunday 🙊 can't wait!!

Bluebell sorry about the appointment! Hopefully you get one tomorrow!

Rebs eeeek mine is on Saturday so I hope we will both find out this weekend, and Carley on Friday too!

I've got an appointment for tomorrow with another midwife who's standing in. Fingers crossed it goes ahead. Stressed me out today.

thewinedidit - went to see my optician and she recommended some viscous eye drops for nighttime use which seem to be helping!

I haven't really felt much apart from light flutters maybe. Still only 15+5 though and I have a fair bit of tummy padding so will probably be a while before I can feel much!

My DH reminded me while we were eating our barbecue this evening that it's 13 years to the day that we met. I was so touched (and amazed!) that he remembered (I didn't until he said so...) feeling very grateful to be happy and pregnant and healthy today, and just wanted to share the positive vibes. We struggle with the sickness and poor sleep and aches but we are the lucky ones ❤️💛💙

That's lovely Angielka.

I still can't feel any movement and I'm 17+4. I'm totally crazy though.... I definitely just ate a few sugary sweets and now I'm lying in bed to see if it makes baby bluebell move!

😂 @Mrsbluebell17 I don't think the issue is whether or not Baby Bluebell is moving - BB is probably buzzing away! I think it's a question of whether you can feel it yet... 🤔

Happy anniversary @Angielka 😄

Biker I'm sure you're right!! I think I'm just paranoid. I'm a worrier by nature.

Ditto @Mrsbluebell17 😕 far easier to comfort other people tho 🙂

Wide awake.

Hope you're ok scots?

On my way up north to a funeral for a friend's husband, not quite sure how I will hold it together - want to be strong for my friend but I'm emotional at the best of times and pregnancy is not helping. Will try headspace in a bit but any other tactics gratefully received..

Already nearly vomited and fainted on the tube, at least the train has air conditioning!

3 hours sleep last night. I'm a total zombie right now...
