dreaminofholidays · 21/12/2018 22:03

@Junex88 yay congratulations on a healthy little girl. Amazing news, is that the same as your scan a few weeks ago?
@swisbet I'm always anxious although I think I may have just felt the first movement xx

xJune88 · 21/12/2018 22:22

Yeah she told us 100% girl 3 weeks ago, looking like she's right! Xx

kisses4u · 22/12/2018 07:40

Congrats @xJune88 on your news! A healthy girl! Thanks brilliant! And @Swisbest2 a healthy boy!!! So good to get a scan in for reassurance isn't it! Sometimes you feel you need to just check all is ok in there!
@dreaminofholidays did you find out the sex too? Or are you planning on a surprise?

I was struck down with the D&V bug yesterday, been up all night on the loo with a bucket at my feet. Hope babe is ok in there! It's horrendous and takes me back to the intense feelings of nausea I had in early pregnancy! Ugh! Hope it passes quickly! Sending OH to the pharmacy for diorilyte this morning. He had the cheek to ask me to get up with our son this morning so he could have a lie in!!!! I was furious 😠

dreaminofholidays · 22/12/2018 09:06

@swisbet I have no idea how I missed your boy post! yay!! how lovely. Is that a shot of his bits?? Gosh!! I don't know why but I didn't really think you'd be able to see so much.
Although I don't really get what I'm looking at on the scans until the sonographer tells me.

@kisses4u aww hun I hope you are feeling a little better today. Are you going to be able to rest today?
🙈 at your husband. What is up with these men?! reminds me of the time my husband asked me if I thought I could learn to throw up quietly weeks ago. That went down as well as you might imagine?!
We didn't find out, hoping we will be able to wait for a surprise.
xx xx

Pancakes7 · 22/12/2018 11:28

@Swisbest2 Just keep remembering your scan. Baby is fine. Maybe in 2 weeks or so you'll feel movements. @xJune88 Congratulations on your little girl! @kisses4u Poor you. I hope your bug goes away soon. Get lots of rest.

Feeling huge today...I've been really chuffed with my bump but today my MIL made a few comments about me carrying all round and having a pot belly. I don't think she meant it in s mean way, as usually she's lovely. But this did upset me. I mean I don't think I'm too big for going on 19 weeks. I don't want to feel embarrassed of my bump. I love it. It's the most wanted baby ever. I'll try and ignore it.

OP posts:
xJune88 · 23/12/2018 04:01

Yay to the bump @pancakes7 I've finally got one now at 20 weeks that there is no sucking in and I love it I don't mind if people say I look huge as I have the same mindset as you, so grateful to look huge somedays haha. I've attached the best picture I got on Friday it's shocking but hee hand is up to her face and she's got her mouth open haha xx

Swisbest2 · 23/12/2018 07:30

@dreaminofholidays no neither did i i said thats a boy before she did. She said laughes and said well thats def a boy lol! Oh was very proud 😂
@kisses4u that bug sounds horrible hope you feel a bit better ready for chriatmas x

Pancakes7 · 23/12/2018 07:55

@xJune88 Thanks, yeah I'm not going to let it upset me. I love my bump. It's getting bigger each day I swear lol. Aw lovely scan pic. I'm counting down the days till my gender scan. 11 days to go!

Morning all, feeling loads better today! Woke at 5am needing to eat something so had a bowl of cereal in bed then went back to sleep! Aah! I miss my boys but it's so lovely to have this time to myself! I'll have a bath ALL TO MYSELF in a minute!
I'm loving my bump! It's been visible for about 8 weeks now as my second, so I've showed a lot quicker! I've done so well with maternity wear! Last time I had barely anything to wear rotating the same leggings and jeans... this time loads of friends who have had their final pregnancies have given me all their clothes!!! Amazing!!! I'm spoilt for choice! I have to say I'm a real bump show off, no baggy clothes for me! The clingier the better! I love getting bigger and bigger!!! I love when ppl say how big I am! Ha! It's the only time you have a big belly and get away with it! 😆

Pancakes7 · 23/12/2018 14:05

@Kisses4u Great way to be! I've got a few maternity tops I got from New look. Got one on today which shows off my bump well. Embrace the bump!!

I've got a cold coming 😕 Think I'll wake up tomorrow with full on cold. Just in time for Christmas day. On a good note, the pram we wanted has £200 off at John Lewis, so ordered it today! Also have my father's discount. So bargain! So excited although we have bits to do on our house in the new year. So it'll probably stay in the box for now. We bought our first pack of baby grows yesterday too and a pack of scratch mittens and muslins. All from Primark. 11 days till gender scan! How is everyone?

OP posts:
dreaminofholidays · 26/12/2018 08:53

Merry Christmas everyone!
Hope you all had lovely days yesterday.
@pancakes7 sounds like a great bargain on the pram. Love it when stuff like that happens. Hope you didn't end up with a cold. xxx

Jessabean · 26/12/2018 09:08

Merry Christmas for yesterday everyone! 🎄 Hope you all had nice relaxing days filled with guilt free craving indulging and lots of reassuring kicks and squirms! Think we all derseve it!
Hope you're feeling better @Pancakes7 - congrats on the pram- love a bargain! Am hoping I can pick some stuff up in the sales!

Pancakes7 · 26/12/2018 09:53

Thanks @Jessabean and @dreaminofholidays unfortunately woke up on Christmas day full of cold. Still feeling rough. But had a lovely day when I wasn't napping lol. I hope you both had a lovely day too.

kisses4u · 26/12/2018 17:44

Happy belated Christmas to you all!!! How is everyone?

I've recovered from the D&V and baby has been very quiet last couple of days, only feeling very small movements a couple of times a day, nothing at all so far today... it's making me worry, although everywhere I look says before 24 weeks you can expect sporadic movements / sometimes none at all... anyone else having the same? I'm worrying that somethings wrong. Also couldn't find baby's heartbeat with my Doppler (a friend loaned me) sometimes it's mega hard to find tho. But having been poorly I'm worried about my girl. I hope she's ok in there?! Eek 😬

xJune88 · 28/12/2018 08:01

@kisses4u yes also trying not to worry!! We've just got home from iceland over Christmas. She was nuts on the plane don't think she liked it haha and had 3 days of nearly nothing. Trying to relax and reassure myself it's normal and not meant to be counting yet!! My sister in law bought me loads of baby clothes for Christmas they are beautiful I'm so in love and excited to meet her already! Hope everyone is ok and had a lovely Christmas xx

xJune88 · 28/12/2018 08:02

@pancakes7 not long until your scan now!! Are you going to find out and do you have a feeling about what you're having? Xx

Pancakes7 · 28/12/2018 11:13

@xJune88 Yes this time next week we'll know what we're having! We're both so excited to see baby again and to know the gender. So yes we will find out. I have been thinking girl. But then some days I think boy, as still crave salt sometimes. Who knows lol. Scan is 8.30am on Friday. So atleast it's early.

That's so lovely that your SIL bought you baby clothes. How exciting. We bought some unisex baby grows. I also ordered 2 packs of baby grows in the m&s sale. One pack is all girly, so if baby is a boy, I'll return lol.
