Hannah! Jesus Christ! You should have taken out your phone, photographed her called the police on her for racial abuse!

shaaan1329 · 23/08/2017 23:47

Sorry to just jump in, you guys already seem very established as a group but I have been reading every night before bedGrin some lovely pictures through the thread!

I'm going solo, 19+3 with my first baby. Baby's dad left me at 8 weeks pregnant and is still to this day playing mind games and manipulating me but I'm stronger than ever and ruffs to return to the same toxic relationship with a narcissist.... Still soooooo bloody hard though!

Is anyone else anxious about the size of their bump and/or lack of movement? I keep getting comments about how little I am, especially from a particular girl at work who's most recent quip after seeing someone 8 weeks ahead of me with an obvious bump 'oh so you should really be bigger than you are shouldn't you'.. It's really starting to get me down. Especially when I haven't felt anything remotely like flutters or popping sensations. I'm starting to to consider whether it's mothers instinct something is not right or just put it down to first time mum to be anxietyConfused

Waitingonasmile · 24/08/2017 07:22

I'm sorry shaaan1329 that must be so hard. I hope you've got supportive family and friends. Flowers

ChocoMunchi · 24/08/2017 07:37

Hi joining a little late to the group hope that's ok? EDD 6/1/18 with 4th baby. Huge gap between my older children 21, 16 & 14 and new partner. Smile

Shaaan1329 - I'm sure there's nothing to worry about everyone carries their baby differently I have a work colleagues who is 3 weeks further on than me and you can barely tell she is pregnant and a friend who is due 6 weeks after me with a bigger bump than mine. Everyone is different Wink

Looking forward to sharing bump and baby stories with you all x

MrsCorr · 24/08/2017 08:10

@shaaan1329 welcome! Don't worry about your bump. With my 1st baby I didn't feel any movements before 22 weeks & I didn't have a noticeable bump until 24 weeks. I actually didn't end up with a huge bump, even towards the end. It's surprising how well baby tucks in there!

MrsCorr · 24/08/2017 08:12

Hi @ChocoMunchi that's like my family. My brother is 20 years older than me & my sisters 17&18 years older. I must admit I love being the baby! Do you know what you're having this time?

KarateKitten · 24/08/2017 08:15

Hi Shaan, I had a flat tum till 24 weeks on my first. I look 28 weeks at 18 weeks now on my 4th! Movement is nothing to worry about either for many more weeks.

SJ1989 · 24/08/2017 09:15

@Shaan1329 everyone carries different everyone told me k wouldnt shw for ages with it being my first but i had a visible buml at 12 weeksbtheb people was saying it must be twins or something wrong to have such a clear bump at 12 weeks with my first! I'm now 21+4 and using bump as an arm rest when I'm sat down, everyone carries differently I'm bigger than would be expected for a first it everything is healthy and I've had friends pregnant with number 2 who didn't show till 4/5 months so don't worry

Maybebaby2 · 24/08/2017 10:13

Sorry Owl1011 there are always rude people, brush it off and don't let it upset you, she had the problem not you.

hannah that's awful! I'm angry at that ignorant woman on your behalf but equally at the other passengers who sat and did nothing! How could they not defend you after hearing you being racially abused, I really don't understand?! Really sorry you had to go through that.

Welcome shaaan and Choco.

Choco I'm the same as you, huge gap of 16 years between ds and this one! Met dh when ds was 9 but it took us 6 years before we actually decided to try for a baby. Wish we hadn't waited so long but so happy that it happened for us. Luckily ds is over the moon about it, how have your dc taken the news?

asafemooring · 24/08/2017 11:06

Hi all! I'm new to Mumsnet and this thread but thought I'd give it a whirl. I'm due on 14 January with my second - my daughter turned 3 in July and I've completely forgotten all of the baby stuff, so it will be good to have you ladies in the trenches with me!

20 week scan next week - anyone else not finding out the sex? It's so tempting but I think we're going to stick with a surprise like last time...

rememberpurpleronnie · 24/08/2017 11:35

Welcome @asafemooring!!

Had my whooping cough vaccine on Tuesday- my arm still really hurts! Couldn't sleep on that side last night so I have a grand total of one sleeping position option now!! Grin

Seven0fNine · 24/08/2017 12:34

Yes remember my arm hurt for days after!!!

Ruthcarr1990 · 24/08/2017 12:51

I'm only 19 weeks and this is the size of my bump!!! Going to be huge xxx

January Babies #4 - Blooming in to second trimester!
Gemxo · 24/08/2017 13:44

I've got my whooping cough vaccine tomorrow when I will be 18+3 is that normal? I read online your meant to have the vaccine after 20 weeks? Also when will everyone have the flu vaccine?

peachgreen · 24/08/2017 14:09

@Gemxo They've updated the guidelines recently to say you can have the whooping cough any time after 16 weeks (and the earlier the better). I had mine at 16+3 (and it hurt for a week!). Flu vaccine season doesn't start until September I don't think.

Maybebaby2 · 24/08/2017 15:30

Yeah I had mine at 16 weeks too and it really did hurt for days after! I'll get flu jab end of september into october. Really looking forward to that one!

millsbynight · 24/08/2017 16:56

20 week scan today and we are joining team pink 🎀🎀🎀 it's a girl! 😁

Can't remember who told me about skull theory and the wee in bicarbonate soda way back when we were 7/8 weeks, but both predicted a girl so I was convinced for a very long time!!

millsbynight · 24/08/2017 16:57

@Ruthcarr1990 what a bump!! 👌🏼❤️

OP posts:
Maybebaby2 · 24/08/2017 17:04

Congratulations mills It was me with the bicarb soda theory 😂 My scan is tomorrow and I was predicted a girl too so I'll soon find out if it was right for me as well!

Iamchanging · 24/08/2017 17:06

Ooooh have girls overtaken boys now on here?

flossyfloss · 24/08/2017 17:10

I've had my scan and all healthy Smile as I suspected I do have anterior placenta hence why I'm not feeling any strong movements!

We had a trainee so she spent ages looking at everything and then the qualifies sonographer took over and checked. So happy to have that milestone out of the way and looking forward to actually feeling some movement in the next 4 weeks 😀

millsbynight · 24/08/2017 17:25

@Maybebaby2 it's an exact science 😂 obviously!! Argh can't wait to see if you're having a girl too!! You can't argue with science!

OP posts:
Maybebaby2 · 24/08/2017 17:44

I always thought it was very scientific test! 😂

Interesting - it felt like we had loads more boys for ages. I wonder if team yellow will come and balance up the numbers in 20 weeks!

Waitingonasmile · 24/08/2017 18:22

I also had scan today and all fine! I definitely thought we had more boys but clearly not.
