Yeh @ndo4000 usually I start at 9.30 but because DS isn't back at school I thought I'd get in early and catch up on everything. Bed decision!

Disinterested · 31/08/2017 10:10

Hi all! Can't believe we are on number 5!

Time is really dragging for me - the one bad thing about resigning from my awful job and becoming a lady of leisure!

I finally feel like I am getting movements from him... It feels like when you get a twitch in your eye, but in my belly. I also felt something above my belly button but surely it's too early for that?! (I'm 20w 2)

My doppler has been a constant reassurance for my paranoia and the best £30 I've ever spent!

Hope everyone is well!

Owl1011 · 31/08/2017 10:10

@millsbynight that's horrible and I can't believe how ignorant some people can be! Look after yourself today. I commute to London regularly for work and am always really mindful of giving up my seat on the tube for people who need it more than me, and am always amazed how people just don't pay attention to others! DH got me a baby on board badge for when I travel up in a couple of weeks but I'm not holding out any hopes people will pay attention to it!

peachgreen · 31/08/2017 10:20

@Disinterested I'm only 19+4 and at my last scan (18+6) she said baby's head was already at my bellybutton so I reckon that's possible! Alas, my anterior placenta means no movements for me for a while.

@mills That's awful, no wonder you're upset. I reckon you've just got to be bolshy right from the start - that's what my best friend found when she was pregnant in London. Don't wait for people to notice your badge (they won't!) - just ask. I really feel for you - I'm feeling pretty well in myself but I would still hate to be doing the London commute right now (mind you I hated it when I wasn't pregnant too!).

In accordance with the title, DH told me I had "a glow" this morning! It is crazy how different I feel to a few weeks ago (despite a random vomit this morning!). I'm definitely starting to be able to embrace and enjoy pregnancy. (Bet it only lasts for a few weeks and then I'll be miserable again! Grin)

NovaArt3mis · 31/08/2017 11:09

sybarite scan for me tomorrow too Smile the 12 week scan feels like a lifetime ago.

mills that's horrible, hope your day gets back.

I think I felt a kick from the outside last night so DH spent half the evening with a hand on my stomach and obviously nothing happened.

ElleMcElle · 31/08/2017 11:39

@millsbynight - Wowsers Mills, that's awful! I've found that people on the tube don't always notice me & my badge (everyone has their nose in their phones these days), but on the odd occasion I've asked, someone has always jumped up immediately, looking very sheepish that they had to be asked. You don't need to feel embarrassed at all - they should be! Hoe your day gets better. Good idea above about perhaps seeing if you can change your commute time at least some days to miss rush hour. Are you commuting through London? x

Gemxo · 31/08/2017 13:06

Is it normal for my bump to be lying so low at this stage? When I'm feeling kicks and flutters they are very low! Almost on top of my pubic bone, shouldn't the baby be higher up by now? 19 +2

millsbynight · 31/08/2017 13:20

Thanks for the sympathies everyone. I was so upset and flustered. Usually I'd be ok to stand for a short bus ride but I had just scoffed breakfast down and my heartburn was awful and it's getting harder and harder to stand for long period of time the further along we get. @ElleMcElle yes my commute is awful, I travel from SW London through to Waterloo and then a tube ride.

@Gemxo totally normal. Sometimes I feel Baby very low, other times closer to my belly button. Babies are still super tiny at this gestation so still lying quite low. I guess also depends how you're carrying.

January Babies #5 - Are we 'glowing' yet?!
klaw87 · 31/08/2017 14:39

Welcome to the boy club @Ruthcarr1990 !! 💙

@Gemxo my kicks are pretty much always very low down too, I've only felt a few higher up in the last couple of days I reckon and I'm 21+2 :) depends where they are laying I suppose - he was definitely putting all his weight on my bladder last week lol x

hodgeheg92 · 31/08/2017 16:27

Hi everyone! Hope you're all well :)

I am quite late to the mumsnet club. Can I be added to this thread please? I'm due 9th Jan and will be team yellow. I've got my scan tomorrow though and am super tempted to find out what we're having.

ziggzagg · 31/08/2017 17:28

Hey 👋

Been feeling really pronounced movements last week or so! Mostly when he thinks it will be most inappropriate I feel.... meetings/ home visits!! Seems so strange having a little person moving around while I'm in a boring meeting haha!

SJ1989 · 31/08/2017 18:10

Hi @hedgeheg92 and good luck for your scan tomorrow!

@ziggzagg it's crazy isn't it! I keep waking up between 5 and 6am and feeling her moving away, I want to go back to sleep but also want to sit an feel her wriggle around!

WLMcI · 31/08/2017 18:25

@Gemxo yes, my strongest feeling movements are very low, and recently I also feel the kicks against the inside if that makes sense (i.e. at the same time as it's kicking my tummy it's kicking my back passage area LOL!)

Spent a lovely afternoon today with a couple of friends whose baby boy is 6 months. It was so nice to chat with people who have just been through all this and not worry about boring people with my pregnancy prattle! 😁 They showed me the inside and outs of their pram too, which I really liked (bugaboo cameleon 2).

klaw87 · 31/08/2017 18:42

lol @WLMcI I've been getting that same feeling... feels a bit like a twitch in my bum 😂😂 very odd sensation!!

hodgeheg92 · 31/08/2017 18:46

Quick question - how do I put people's name in bold to reply to them?

SJ1989 - thank you!

Ziggzagg - I've been feeling lots of really big movements too! Then again, I've been doing a lot of sitting/lounging around so I'm sure I'll notice them less when I'm back at work next week.

Icantthinkofastupidname · 31/08/2017 19:06

I'm not sure if I'm starting to feel little movements or not. It kind of feels like a bubble of wind popping, so I think it's more likely gas or digestion! Hopefully not long before I feel something proper :).

Sorry to hear about your awful journey @mills, stories like this make me glad I live in a reasonably quiet area and drive to work. Unless there's an accident on the motorway only usually takes around 20minutes. Dreading going back on Monday after 6 weeks off tho!

SJ1989 · 31/08/2017 19:16

@hodgeheg92 just put an @ before it and it goes bold and let's them know they have been mentioned in a post :)

Maybebaby2 · 31/08/2017 19:19

Welcome hodgeheg to make words bold just put a on either side of the word or click the I button underneath text box, select * and write the word inbetween.

Maybebaby2 · 31/08/2017 19:23

Or put @ which like SJ1989 said sends a notification that they have been mentioned, but only if they have it set up to receive notifications Smile

Emzwell · 31/08/2017 21:30

Hey had our scan today, we're helping team blue catch up with team pink haha! I have to have another in 2 weeks as I have a low lying placenta, if it hasn't moved then another scan at 34, and they said they will start talking about a c-section, didn't have this with my son, I really don't want a c-section either... Anyone else has low lying placenta at this stage and moved itself?

ChocoMunchi · 31/08/2017 21:41

Congrats on being team 💙 @Emzwell do u have a baby pic?

It's so lovely sharing each stages of our pregnancy together can't wait until all theses babies start being born it's very exciting

Great picture @Ruthcarr1990 👍

I have another scan booked for Monday 22+2 as baby wasn't for moving to show her spine at 20 weeks despite fizzy pop and going for a walk

klaw87 · 31/08/2017 22:18

@Emzwell welcome to team blue 💙 woop!

I have a low placenta too, not got another scan until 34 weeks though. My midwife said that as baby and tummy grow it should make everything including the placenta shift up and out of the way, she said it's really common so not to worry too much and that the chances are that all will be fine by 34 weeks. One of my close friends had this too and hers hadn't moved at 34 weeks but had moved at 36 weeks so try not to panic! Xx

Emzwell · 01/09/2017 07:10

@chocomunchi no we couldn't get a pic as baby was being stubborn hahaha @klaw87 thats good to know, they scanning again because they couldn't check everything he was tight up in a ball haha stubborn little mister! I'm trying not to worry what will be will be, my mum had the same twice so I did wonder xx

NovaArt3mis · 01/09/2017 07:43

Couple of hours til my scan, very nervous and excited.
