Morning all, the insomnia kicked in for me last night, but might just be a reaction to whooping cough jab yesterday my arm is very sore and I wanted to lie on that side for some reason. Any idea at what point we get the flu jab? Midwife didn't mention making an appointment and don't have another appointment with her until late October

Waitingonasmile · 01/09/2017 08:06

Good luck novasrt3mis Smile

Is anyone else starting to get braxton hicks? I had forgotten how much I hated the feeling.

klaw87 · 01/09/2017 08:37

I'm trying not to worry too @Emzwell! This is my first so it's all new to me, a c section terrifies me too but 'trying' to be optimistic! I figure that worst case if mine doesn't move then a planned c section is better than an emergency one! He'll be out one way or the other! Midwife really didn't seem concerned though x

@wapphighwood I asked midwife yesterday, she said gps usually start doing them around end sept/oct time and to get it as soon as I can so maybe just check with your gp? I need to book my whooping cough one too 😩

Good luck @NovaArt3mis! Xx

NovaArt3mis · 01/09/2017 10:23

Thanks ladies. I've got a healthy (and very wriggly) little baby girl 😍

Low lying anterior placenta so another scan at 32 weeks to see if it has moved up.

Waitingonasmile · 01/09/2017 10:43

Congrats nova Smile! That's quite a few of us with low lying placentas now Shock. The sonographer seemed to think they usually move so fingers crossed.

Maybebaby2 · 01/09/2017 10:49

Congratulations on your scans Emz and Nova!

Seems quite a few of us have a low placenta. I've also got to have another scan at 34 weeks. They really didn't seem too concerned though and said it more than likely will have moved by then so I'm not going to worry too much. I'm sure well all be fine as there's a long time between now and then and we'll all be moving a lot and babies will be moving around a lot so I'm sure our placentas will move too Smile

NovaArt3mis · 01/09/2017 11:03

Yeah the lady said it was very likely to move up as bump grows so I won't be overthinking it until the next scan.

millsbynight · 01/09/2017 11:07

Congrats on the scans ladies!

@Waitingonasmile Brixton Hicks already?! You poor thing. Not look forward to those again. So uncomfortable and painful! (Although nothing compared to labour 😂).

Speaking of labour, has anyone discussed their birth plan yet with their midwife? DS was just gas and air and I don't remember it being that painful.... although it was 7 years ago and I am probably looking back on it with rose coloured glasses! This one will be another hospital birth as I'm not rave enough to try a home birth.

MummyM33 · 01/09/2017 11:08

Morning ladies, I see a few of you are mentioning the whooping cough vaccine. When did you get this booked in? I'm 23 weeks and no one has mentioned it to me yet? Is it something I need to request? x

Sybarite85 · 01/09/2017 11:30

Whooping cough can be done any time from 20 weeks and apparently the sooner the better according to my MW.

All good at the scan today, baby was being a bit stubborn/shy and had head turned away so she couldn't do all the measurements initially but she got me to turn on to all fours and wiggle my bum around a bit and then when I flipped back over it had turned head for just long enough for her to measure! Worth a try if anyone else struggles with baby's positioning for scan even if v undignified!

Sticking with team yellow and she didn't give anything away and told us when to avert our eyes!

peachgreen · 01/09/2017 12:49

Actually whooping cough can now be done from 16 weeks in most areas (it's taking a while for everywhere to catch up) - only correcting in case anyone else had it done before 20 weeks and is now panicking! :) But yes, the sooner the better!

I'm having very odd feelings in my lower belly today - right at the bottom, a kind of rippling or bubbling. Wondering if it's the baby moving?!

ReturnofSaturn · 01/09/2017 12:57

Hi everyone. Could I please join in?
EDD jan 30th first baby.

Also is anyone else with similar due date not showing yet? I am still completely flat belly wise, starting to doubt I'm even pregnant anymore!! Don't have scan until next Friday and I'm a bit worried.

Emzwell · 01/09/2017 14:13

Ahh phew, the lady never reassured me about it moving so that's good to hear, she also wouldn't write down the sex so we could find out altogether the next day, when 3 of my friends have been able to do this at the same hospital only a few weeks ago :( just so pleased we decided to chance it and take my son, although he wasn't really listening haha, so I had to repeat what she said, I really wanted to see his little face as a suspence surprise but never mind, I must have gotten one that's not willing to do that xx

Isabeau1980 · 01/09/2017 18:33

ReturnofSaturn I was 22 weeks on my first before I could really see anything. Apart from anything it can also depend on how you carry. Fingers crossed for your scan.

Waitingonasmile · 01/09/2017 22:09

Ahhhh restless legs are driving me crazy tonight. Pregnant symptoms are so rubbish sometimes. Angry between that and heartburn this is not a fun Friday night.

SJ1989 · 02/09/2017 08:16

Anyone in the north west fancying a day out Groupon have an offer on a baby and toddler event!

January Babies #5 - Are we 'glowing' yet?!
Ruthcarr1990 · 02/09/2017 13:01

Today I have a very very wriggly baby!!! Not stopped fidgeting!!!

Makes it more special Is my dh has been away working all week and before he left he hadn't felt him move!!!

Lovly chilled day for my dd has gone away for the weekend with the in laws!!! Been bliss to be able to have a lie in and just chill!! Xxxx

Iamchanging · 02/09/2017 14:20

Has anyone else not felt anything yet, like not even a hint of movement? I'm 20 weeks tomorrow and starting to get a bit concerned. Not sure where my placenta is.

Gemxo · 02/09/2017 15:15

I have an anterior placenta and have felt lots of movement since 19 weeks, I think my placenta has moved since my 16 week scan! Now currently 20+4, I guess everyone is different and Mw told me not to worry if I didn't feel anything as with an anterior you can go up to 26 weeks without feeing movement, so please don't worry yourself

I think I also have a very active wriggly boy!

NovaArt3mis · 02/09/2017 17:00

I felt my first movement at 16+2, and there's been daily movements since about 19+2. I was so surprised when she told me mine was at the front. But then she did say the baby was super wriggly.

I think it's very common to not feel til much later. A shame cos you'll be eager to feel but try not to worry Iam. Do you have a scan soon?

millsbynight · 02/09/2017 19:19

@Waitingonasmile yes to the restless legs 😭 driving me nuts!!!!

@ReturnofSaturn jealous of your flat stomach! Do you have a bump pic? I have a small bump and I'm just waiting for the day I look down and am massive!

OP posts:
Iamchanging · 02/09/2017 19:53

It's on Thursday Nova, counting down the days! Though I have an enormous bump so it certainly feels like she is growing in there!

emble23 · 02/09/2017 21:43

Hi All
I am also a little late to the party. Can I be included on this please @millsbynight. Im due Jan 27th and am team blue Smile

ReturnofSaturn · 02/09/2017 23:11

Hi millsbynight. No I don't have a bump pic as I don't have a bump at all!!! I'm seriously not exaggerating there's completely nothing there! I'm so worried :(

millsbynight · 03/09/2017 08:52

23 weeks today... no wonder no one wants to give me a seat on the tube or bus!!

I've put on 8.5kg though ConfusedConfused
