@Rosehyd2 wonderful news! I'm so pleased for you and glad it's put your mind at rest.

@ForumUsername it's so difficult isn't it? Next have some nice neutral baby grows and hats etc. but isn't the cheapest. We are currently redecorating our upstairs so won't be buying much yet, will have to go on the hunt in a couple of months! Smile

Disinterested · 06/09/2017 19:41

@Rosehyd2 I have been thinking about you all week and am sooooo thrilled for you!

Gemxo · 06/09/2017 19:46

@Rosehyd2 YAY!!!! ❤️

Victoriaaaaaaaa · 06/09/2017 21:27

@Rosehyd2 I'm so happy for you!! xx

MummyM33 · 06/09/2017 21:42

@Rosehyd2 I'm so pleased for you! I've been thinking of you and hoping for the best and it's sounds like your appointment couldn't have gone any better! So happy for you x

MissyJones80s · 07/09/2017 00:18

Sorry for radio silence been super busy past week or so. Just wanted to say Rosehyd2 I followed your posts and am so pleased to hear the outcome, such wonderful news. I think it's so amazing we can find out these things in advance, when my mom was pregnant with me they didn't even have a scan so there was no way to prepare. But in your case it sounds like all is perfectly normal whoop!!!

millsbynight · 07/09/2017 07:34

So pleased to hear your news @Rosehyd2 ! What a relief!!

@MissyJones80s it's nuts isn't it? All the technology available to us these days. I was chatting to an old lady in the park the other day and we got to chatting about my pregnancy and yes I know what I'm having bla bla bla and she said back in her day they had NO scans. ZERO! Just had to hope and pray everything was ok in there. And they didn't even have Mumsnet to relay all our fears with other expecting mums too Grin

Usernamegone · 07/09/2017 07:41

Rosehyd2 that's amazing news!

Iamchanging · 07/09/2017 10:15

And surprise surprise another anterior placenta! Plus she was scrunched up in a ball and wouldn't turn over no matter what I did so have to go back for a rescan in a week!

hanna87 · 07/09/2017 11:26

Fantastic news rose! Fingers crossed for a smooth next few months with no more bits of stress like this for u! X

asafemooring · 07/09/2017 12:54

@Owl1011 and @ForumUsername H&M has some cute, reasonably-priced baby stuff that's not all pink or blue, and the Conscious range is really nice quality, organic cotton etc. H&M Baby 0-9m

Zara has always been another favourite but it's more pricey.

We're Team Yellow but have a daughter already - I tried to stay gender neutral in the stuff we bought ourselves, but the gifts we got were all very pink and girly so if we have a boy I'll be doing some top-up shopping (or just dressing him in the pink girly stuff because I'm cheap...!).

Mummyme87 · 07/09/2017 14:12

I love H&M vests. The cross over body ones

Waitingonasmile · 07/09/2017 16:29

When I was pregnant last time I didn't know anyone else who had a anterior placenta. This time it's almost all of us!!!!

You know you are big when people in work start to ask you when you finish up. Blush not for bloody ages!!!!!

asafemooring · 07/09/2017 16:56

@waitingonasmile yes they're so good! Also love the 3-packs of wee leggings they do with covered feet - so much better than faffing around with baby socks.

ForumUsername · 07/09/2017 17:19

@asafemooring OMG the H&M stuff is fab!!!
Will definitely be getting bits from there 😀

scampiandchips1 · 07/09/2017 18:40

Hi everyone! Just found this group. I'm 21w 2 and have my scan tomorrow morning, so nervous! Going to find out the sex although really not bothered either way, just praying it's healthy!
Went to Boots and they have started the Flu Jab and it's free for us so get yourself booked in ladies!
Haven't really felt much movement yet, just a lot of bubbles and gas at the bottom of my ribs.
I bought the Holly Willouby book last week which has been a good read, would recommend it! X

Rosehyd2 · 07/09/2017 18:57

Thank you everyone, sending you all SO MUCH LOVE. I'm floating on cloud 9 today GrinGrinGrinGrinGrin

Owl1011 · 07/09/2017 19:03

What type of symptoms are people finding are the worst in the second trimester? Mine are currently breaking out in spots, exhaustion and crippling bloating/constipation (sorry TMI!). It's becomes sooo painful!

@asafemooring i had only thought about H&M for maternity, didn't even think about baby clothes so will definitely have a look!

MissyJones80s · 07/09/2017 21:09

On H&M I love my maternity jeans they are super nice and comfy and look awesome too! Recommend!

Waitingonasmile · 07/09/2017 21:25

Another h & m maternity clothes lover here! I find them a good fit. I hate New Look mat clothes and find them huge.

SPD has finally started, so much earlier than last time. I know some of you have been suffering with it since the start so I shouldn't moan.

shaaan1329 · 07/09/2017 21:32

Hi ladies,

I feel like every time I post on here I have a bit of a moan (sorry!) but although I'm enjoying pregnancy and have been SO lucky so far with symptoms aside from bad morning sickness, I'm finding it really hard the last few weeks. If you remember I'm going at this whole parenting job solo while still being lead on by my ex partner and to top all the stress off I got fired yesterday over something I believe to be related to my pregnancy. Going to be getting touch with citizens advice about where I stand, my boss told me to get out and not return after I was 3 minutes late to my station due to waiting to use the bathroom and refusing to start work until I'd emptied my bladder. On my way out his words were 'wave bye bye to your maternity pay'. I feel he started a petty argument in order to fire me in an attempt to get out of paying my maternity!

On a brighter note, feeling lots of movement each night, getting more frequent during the day and mornings too. Oh also I'm team blue!

millsbynight · 07/09/2017 22:01

Omg @shaaan1329 I'm so sorry to hear you got fired. Is that even legal... To fire a pregnant woman? Pregnancy aside I think it's quite difficult to fire someone and you should have been given a verbal/written warning before someone simply turning around and saying "you're fired, bye". Hopefully CAB can give you some excellent and sound advice.

I'm inspired by your strength for doing this solo. I hope your little boy in your tum knows how much of an awesome mum he's got!

shaaan1329 · 07/09/2017 22:27

@millsbynight I'm not sure my rights, hoping as I've been there for a while I'll still be entitled to my maternity pay though.. My hopes of getting another job at 21 weeks pregnant seem slim so it looks like I'll be taking my maternity as early as it's possible to do so just to get some money coming in! Thank you, i really appreciate you saying that. I really am trying my best for my little boy it is a bloody struggle though!

So envious of the happy family units you all have!

Seven0fNine · 07/09/2017 22:57

Ooooh Shaaan I'm so sorry this has happened to you. Hopefully you will still be entitled to your maternity pay or you can take some sort of action against him. What an awful person!!

Feeling incredibly lucky as we found out we are having a boy today and everything was looking good on the scan so massive relief. Have to have another scan at 34 weeks for low lying placenta but I'm not too upset about having another look at the baby Grin

Mummyme87 · 08/09/2017 06:30

Anomaly scan today, 21+4. Very nervous indeed
