Charlotta I got them in my 18th week so hold tight.

Carlotta
I am just about into 17th week and no signs of any movements yet. Mw yesterday said for some people it can be 22 weeks. Hold tight. I am sure you will be getting elbows in the liver soon enough.

Carlotta I was told yesterday that first babies movements are about 20 weeks. I'm 16 + 4 and feel nothing either. I heard heartbeat yesterday so I am OK with no movements just now. Give me another week and I might give you a different answer!!!

Carlotta. I've now had what I think are the odd movements but nothing regular and that I can say are definitely the baby. I'm 18+5.

Scots I didn't do 4am last night but I did 1-3am instead. So tired today. Off to bed now!!

@ScotsLamb I'm with you in the strange gun-related dreams club. I dreamt I was a police firearms officer, my colleagues were Harry Potter, Hermione and Ron, and a couple of ladies from my work. Hermione got killed by a terrorist in a train station, and I couldn't help because my gun wasn't working. Feels quite cathartic to share my crazy dreams. Baby hormones are bonkers!

Yay @Mrsbluebell17 !

Seems like 3am is the new 4am!!

I was awake last night as well, but didn't look what time it is and just tried to get back to sleep. Didn't work too well though. And as usual, sleepless nights are followed by a puke in the morning :-(

Crazy Harry Potter dream!

I was awake at 5am for the loo (I've never been a night time weer) and it wasn't like a tablespoon amount. How disappointing.

Dreams involved a school trip to a theme park in a shopping centre then half the kids back to my cinema (I didn't know I had one) and half the kids to a giant swimming pool. Weird. Better than guns.

I have heard that bizarre dreams are common in pregnancy.

So if I tap low down on my stomach, the baby kicks back.

Awwwwwwww @CheesecakeAddict That's so sweet! 😍

Poor you @Mrsbluebell17 🙁 Been taking me till 2-3am to get to sleep these last couple days and then awake at 6-7. Almost sleeping through though, so would rather that than bouts of insomnia between snoozes!

Scots oooh your own cinema, very fancy! Last night's dream was that I went back to work after being off sick, but the person who was supposed to have been covering my responsibilities had only done half a job and everything was going wrong. Real pressure dream

That's very cool Cheesecake. It obviously isn't happy with you invading its space!

Monty that does sound stressful. I've came to the conclusion that I'm so much of a control freak that whatever the replacement teacher does I will not be happy. Very worried about my classroom but nothing I can do about it.

scotslamb I get you! They are not even getting a replacement in with me! Just supplies. So I'm not even putting any effort into making nice displays because they will get get wrecked

I think it will probably be the same with me. I was off for two weeks on trips and exam board stuff to find all my stuff everywhere. The kids got a big telling off for not looking after equipment. Don't think the same will work after 6 month!!

No...or how many penises will be drawn on books...

Morming all!! Posting because this fell off the "I'm on" tab, which means I have been rubbish and not posted recently. Hope you are all doing well!

I've just signed up for an antenatal yoga class. I'm super nervous because a) I've never done yoga before so I have no idea what to expect and b) The pre-scan voice of doom is in my head telling me it's going to be bad news on Tuesday and I'm being presumptuous for even signing up.

Anomaly scan cheesecake?? Mine is Thurs! It's hard to quiet the scan dread isn't it?! I'm sure it will be a lovely experience though and I've heard nothing but praise for pregnancy yoga! I would love to do it but can't really afford it sadly. Maybe I will look up a routine on YouTube

glastogal Thursday! That's exciting!
That's what I thought, but then the local college has started a class and it's actually quite affordable. It only runs till September though

If it's anything like the session I did, pregnancy yoga won't be hard at all 🙂 They'll be catered for beginners and quite gentle (more about breathing than anything else) since it's aimed at pregnant women.

Pregnancy yoga starts back in August and I can't wait. Wish Aqua natal was closer as I love aquafit.

I don't know anywhere near where I live that does any of those classes but I thought about you tubing some pregnancy yoga class videos. I've never done yoga before either though.

Our scan is not next week but the week after and I'm super nervous about it already too!!

Oh and I slept through last night until 5am and was only then woken up by the cat, and then managed to get back to sleep after!

That sounds proper progress Bluebell. I searched on Facebook for pregnancy yoga then added town name into it. We aren't remote but 20 mins from two towns so tried their names.
