Good to see your low risk @swisbest2 another hurdle done! My belly is also beginning to pop too and defo can't suck it in. 18 weeks on Saturday 😁 finally told family and work and starting relax and believe it's all guna be ok!! X

dreaminofholidays · 06/12/2018 22:01

@swisbet fantastic result from your Nuchal!
@pancakes7 @junex88 how exciting your bumps are appearing! Nothing for me yet, just my normal cake tummy!

On the odd occasion I've started to feel something. It's like if you lightly stroke your hand with your index finger but in my stomach. Not sure if that could be the baby or just normal me. Has anyone else had anything like it? No idea what it's meant to feel like xxx

xJune88 · 07/12/2018 11:00

@dreaminofholidays I'm the same keep feeling pops and other things but no idea what it is or if it is actually baby. Can't wait to feel definate kicks x

Thanks @june88 crazy isnt it never got this far before and its a bit surreal. I think ive felt something kinda like bubbles popping not sure but not normal for me

Swisbest2 · 08/12/2018 07:34

Can anybody tell me what to expect at my 16 week midwife appointment

Pancakes7 · 08/12/2018 08:21

@Swisbest2 I had mine on Monday. I'm not sure if they're all the same though. She read through my screening results. Noted my new due date. Checked I had 20 week scan booked. Took my blood pressure, urine test. Then listened to babies heartbeat, which I recorded. Then booked my next appointment with her for just after my 20 week scan, so I'll be 21 weeks. That was it really.

OP posts:
xJune88 · 08/12/2018 10:12

Yeah my appointment was the same. But my next app isn't until 25 weeks! X

dreaminofholidays · 08/12/2018 12:03

Mine was the same but next seeing the midwife at 25 weeks xxx

Pancakes7 · 08/12/2018 14:59

@dreaminofholidays and @xJune88 Yeah I thought mine would be 25 weeks but she booked for 21 weeks. Maybe as I'm a first time Mum? Or are you both on your first too?

OP posts:
xJune88 · 08/12/2018 15:02

Yeah first here too. In my notes it says next app 24/25 weeks just seems to be the norm in my area after that one there every 3-4 weeks it looks like x

@xJune88 Yeah nhs website shows it at 25 weeks. Maybe depends on your area. We've been looking at pushchairs and car seats today which is exciting.

OP posts:
xJune88 · 08/12/2018 18:50

Aw that's exciting :D I daren't yet. Guna get my 20 week scan out of the way (21st) I'm aiming for 25 weeks before I start looking at anything. Still having days filled with anxiety and still doesn't all feel real it's very bizarre! Its strange been symptomless and not feeling movements just feel like I'm getting fat haha x

@xJune88 Yeah we won't buy anything yet but wanted to look for ideas and see what we want. Then can look out for them in Christmas/New year sales. I'm ok most of the time but if I'm on my feet for too long I do feel a bit faint/sick. Can't eat very much recently either. Babies taking up all the room lol.

OP posts:
Swisbest2 · 08/12/2018 19:33

Ah @june88 snap feel exactly the same still worried about getting excited are you?

dreaminofholidays · 08/12/2018 22:21

@pancakes7 also first for me. Like @junex88 says probably just different trusts. May mean you get hear the heartbeat an extra time so that's pretty exciting!

Also too scared to look at anything yet. Hoping to feel reassured after my 20 week scan. I'm definitely feeling similar to you all, filled with anxiety some days like it's not actually happening. Other times I've noticed myself say something like 'when the baby is here' so hopefully on some level I am adjusting! xxx

xJune88 · 09/12/2018 08:45

Yeah @swisbest2 still doesn't feel real! Let the countdown begin.. 12 days to go until I see bubs x

kisses4u · 09/12/2018 09:42

Morning all! Hope everyone's feeling alright, I'm full of anxiety again as I was sure I could feel my son move when I was 16/17 weeks. I'm not feeling anything yet. I'm starting to feel that my belly is just fat and maybe it's not a baby! Which is silly as I've seen scan at 12 weeks... I can't help but worry. They say you should feel baby move sooner 2nd time round. I'm constantly obsessing over it and trying to feel them! Eek. Anyone else worrying about this or have any reassurance for me? I have a scan on 18th so only about 10 days to to...
