As we enter month 5 of our pregnancies we need a 5th thread!

Good luck to everyone having their 20 week scan this/next week :)

This is me now at 30 weeks.

What a lovely bump Gem!! Gorgeous. I'll try and post a pic of mine at some point. I'm already in my PJs haha.

I'm just taking a break from packing. Off on hols tomorrow bright and early. Got my fit to fly letter all sorted and my oh so sexy flight compression stockings!

Omg @Gem173 you are tiny! I feel huge now ☹️ only 2 weeks ahead of you!

@Emmasmum2013 have a lovely time! Where you off to? X

You're right @Gem173 I'm hoping it's because I've not been watching what I eat just having what I fancy! I've never been skinny anyway, will try and find a pic of my bump from the weekend! I feel huge at only 30 weeks.

Have the best time @Emmasmum2013 I'm jealous! X

I do love my bump, hope it evens out now and doesn't carry on growing so rapidly!

Wow @peterpanwendy you have a very big bump! I’m so jealous would love to show off a big bump! Mine looks so tiny in comparison 😂
@Nikkil123 your bump looks nice and round. Mine doesn’t really have any shape at the top, kinda slanted then rounds out at the bottom!
@Emmasmum look forward to seeing ur bump! Have a lovely time on holiday!

Loving the bump pics! Here is mine at 30 weeks. Feeling very cumbersome 😳 I’m hoping my extremely limited work wardrobe will fit for the last 7 weeks!!

@peterpanwendy when is your growth scan? Fingers crossed it’s all fine for you and baby

@emmasmum2013 enjoy your holiday, I am jealous!!

@BeesNees9 wow your also so big! If that was me my uniform deffo would not fit!

Even tho it’s cloudy outside I always feel hot, have been sweating on the way home from work and humidity is ridiculous especially when I go on heated wards in the hospital to do my job :( might buy a mini electric fan and carry it with me!

@gem123 I initially blamed the sizeable bump on the anterior placenta but that is deffo not a thing 😂 it is all me/baby! I was measured for the first time at my last midwife appointment and he is measuring bang on, so I’m not even measuring ahead 😳 my next one is at 31+5 so we shall see.

@BeesKnees9 well your bump looks so pretty! It’s nice round and deffo looks like a healthy baby. Can’t wait for mine to be bigger!

I’ve just sent an email to all my work colleagues basically organising my own leaving do/baby shower. My supervisor came up to me and asked why I’m organising it myself and she said she will organise it for me, which i thought was nice. It won’t be a total baby shower as some of the males I work with will be there but nice to finally have a nice leaving meal especially after I’ve worked with them all for 2 years and am not coming back xx I’ve even invited my nightmare boss!

@BeesKnees9 you have a lovely bump! Makes me feel better I'm not the only one blossoming already 🙈 yours is so lovely and round I wish my belly button would pop 😂 my scan is this Friday, I'm sure it'll all be ok I'm feeling positive about it :)

Goodluck at the scan tomorrow @Peterpanwendy

I really cannot stand this heat. I like it when it’s warm but when it gets to the point where I can sweat without even moving it’s too much!

Thank you @Gem173 I can't help but feel a bit nervous ☹️

I'm with you on the heat, it's unbearable!

@peterpanwendy you will fly through it and wonder why you were stressing :) she will be fine and be the perfect size xxx

Baby was indeed measuring perfectly, bang on average so the reason for my increase in bump growth is definitely to be blamed on my intake of food 😂 here she is pouting away. And they confirmed for a third time she's definitely a she!

@peterpanwendy see all was fine! Glad she’s doing okay! Guess we have learned that All bumps come in all sorts of sizes xx

@peterpanwendy glad all went well! I have no other reason for my big bump than food 😂😳. Mcdonalds is on its way to me as i type🙊

Ahhhh @peterpanwendy that’s great news, glad everything is well

@NikkiL123 I would kill for a maccies! Unfortunately the closest one is miles away and not even one on route to/from work.. I just make do by constantly grazing instead 😳

I have a day off today and there is a tradesman round doing some work in the house, annoyingly today was the day my boob decided to leak through my dress and shirt and I didn’t notice!! There is no way he wouldn’t of clocked it, I am now hiding in the living room..

@Beesknees9 omg that’s so funny! I wear breast pads at work now in my sports bra/ maternity bra but when I get home I cannot be assed to wear a bra so I literally tape the pads to my nipples 😂😂 my oh thinks it’s so attractive.. not! But I couldn’t care less, stops me worrying about them leaking over anything I wear! Xx

@gem123 thought I could get away without them but clearly not! I will definitely be wearing them from now on especially to work haha, At least I never have to see this bloke ever again 😂

Greetings from sunny Mallorca! It was 35 degrees today. So hot! I have to be in an air conditioned room or a pool at all times 😂

We went out for a meal tonight and I'm seriously tempted to still go down to the hotel buffet for some more food!! I can't stop eating.

So happy your scan went well @peterpanwendy. Glad we're all getting along nicely.

I've still not done a bump pic. There's no decent full length mirror here for me to take one really. But my bump is huge. I think it's bigger than all the other pics you've posted

No leaky boobs (yet) but I do have the biggest nipples ever. They're like flying saucers!!!

@Emmasmum2013
Hey in Mallorca! I couldn’t even dream of enjoying 35 degrees let alone 22 degrees here in England 😂 my bump seems weirdly bigger today it’s weird maybe a few days and it could finally pop!
I’m sure your bump looks great! Especially in all the nice holiday clothes you have probably taken with you! Show it off and take some good photos to remember this babymoon! Wish I could afford a baby moon but atm we just don’t have the money.

Have talked to my mum and she’s letting me move into her house, pay her bills and have longer mat leave as well as the opportunity to go part time when I go back to work. She’s moving in with her boyfriend as she’s in a bad financial situation atm so I’m happy we could work out something where I could help her out but get something good back :) also now I will live in my mums house I can start saving seriously for my own mortgage one day. Seems like everything’s falling into place!

Only thing now tho.. is to sort of my current flat, tell landlord etc and sort out bills 😰. Hopefully be able to move during my first two weeks of mat leave! Let’s hope baby comes late 😂

That's exciting about the move @Gem173 I moved last year and it is so difficult but so worth it!

Hi Ladies
Hope you and bumps are all well?
It's my baby shower today i'm so excited!

We have been thinking of names for little man and one that has stuck for a while is Preston. Can i get your honest opinions on the name please? Xx
