October 2018 baby bus part 3

[ATP1000]

I’m creating this thread so that we can continue the October 2018 baby bus. Only one page left on ours and once it completes we can’t share this link so getting this done now .... all aboard!

Aww, tried to attach a screenshot but not working / brains not working!

Yeah I wanted to know. We found out at 13 weeks with our daughter due to some possible complications and it didn't make it any less special at all

Great hen do outfit 😂

That video was brilliant. Agee, Elaine is a winner! Wish she was my midwife/mate 😂

Do other people just get really random exhausted day? Today I feel like I can't walk across the room without needing a sit down afterwards, not sleepy (although I do have random sleepy moments as well) but like my muscles just decided to give up!

@Milknosugar1 thanks for the advice!

@ExpectingFirst we've got the same due date! Find out on Friday what I'm having!

@justtowarm yes! i have felt absolutely exhausted the last couple days. Like first trimester tired where i just need to sit down and rest constantly. i feel a little more alive today, but that may change after lunch!

@Doll87 it is just like the first trimester again 😭 we are potty training my toddler and I am so tempted to put him back in a nappy, every time he needs a wee the tiredness just from helping him is horrible!

Although saying that just as I'm typing this he has taken himself to the potty and gone, so fingers crossed that is a turning point!

@RhiBee29 Thank you!

@wednesday93 Exciting! Do you feel like the time is just flying by?! I have no idea where these past 19 weeks have gone haha. We couldn't wait for the 20 week scan (booked in on Tuesday), so had a 16 week one. Looking forward to the 20 week one though :)

@ExpectingFirst yes definitely! Can not believe how quickly it's passing by, feels like only yesterday when I found out!

So think I now look preggo not hippo. The cleaner in Tesco commented that I couldn't have long left (just 4mths love!) and a colleague told me I look the biggest out of the preggo's in my office when I'm due last. Be careful what you wish for, I was dying to look pregnant but maybe it's gone too far

I'm curious, how is everyone carrying? I've seen loads of preggo women lately and they all look so different to me, they look more like a balloon shape where as i'm all down bottom. I'm 23+5 weeks and get told all the time I've popped but i still just feel like my bump just looks like a little fat pouch lol! So i googled it, and apparently my shape bump is because I'm carrying low. Does it change from pregnancy to pregnancy? i don't care what shape it is, as long as baby is ok, im just interested :)

@Doll87 I'm carrying very low too but did with DS as well.

According to old wives tales a low carrying bump indicates a boy but higher is a girl. No idea of the evidence to the theory, I'm having a boy but no idea if I am carrying high or low as I only just seem to have developed a bump in the last few days!

I'm with the others on the exhaustion! I can just about drag myself to work daily but beyond that, nope! I'm out the game! Doesn't help with the crazy heat just now either!

Hello Doll87 I’m carrying quite low I feel aswell, I’m having a boy.. so the wives tale is correct for me.

Apart from feeling terribly exhausted like I can’t even write this message, I upgraded my smart car which I only just got for my 21st birthday last year, which I am sorely going to miss! To a brand new car! The down side is, it Isn’t ready until the 15th September. So let’s hope Baby boy doesn’t come early!

I'm carrying low but am having a girl so that theory doesn't work for me 🙈

I'm carrying a girl and she is all over the place, at times my bump is high and all at the front. at other times low and seems more spread out giving me loads of pressure in my pelvis.

When it's low I feel like I don't even look pregnant. When it's all at the front and higher I look really pregnant.... so it's probably all just bloating 🙈

I fell asleep at 4,30 today and have woken up 3 and a half hours later!! I didn’t realise I was so tired! Not sure if I’ll sleep tonight now but can definitely agree with feeling exhausted most of the day. I finished work early today, as I had my whooping cough vaccination this afternoon.
My bump is just below my belly button, I don’t know how the high/ low thing works!! It’s a girl. Definitely look pregnant now though which is very preferable to just chubby! 😂

I had the worst anxiety dreams last night, 20wk scan today. I'm going to be useless at work this morning.

I'm right there with you all on the exhaustion. Heartburn creeping in slowly too.

We had our 20 week scan yesterday and thankfully everything is all good! We have to go back in two weeks tho as our little girl wouldn't turn round to let them do the full scan of her heart. Her brother was more cooperative and got the full all good!
