Ugh I knew it'd be a really long morning , both kids up at 5am 🙈 scan not til 2pm either , it's gonna drag !

On the plus side I had a dream about Dermot O'Leary 😂

I can’t sleep @reginaphalange89 so wide awake here too! After early get ups all week I was hoping for a lie in! X

@ReginaPhalange89 good luck today, and you too @Giraffe888.

Welcome @mumofone25 😃

@wombatron, no I don’t think that’s being greedy at all. I’d do the same. I come out and booked a private one for 2 weeks later. Mine was also very unclear as baby was laid on its belly and I only could make out the head and torso, seemed very blurry opposed to the scans with my other children. Good luck with the harmony/NIPT 🙂

Hello! Can I join please? I've been lurking for ages and have decided now at 15+5, it's time to actually join you all! Due 8th July. 😊 Had a lot of comfort from seeing your messages and knowing that the things I'm worrying about are perfectly normal! Hope the scans go well for you guys today too x

Welcome new joiners btw :) so nice we have people through the months.

@Beckanne90 I'm glad I'm not the only one. My scan was so blurry I felt so sad! But baby was also moving around and rolling over. It took 25 minutes before they finally cooperated so perhaps there was lots of fluid swishing around. Constantly put its back to us. Then it stood up! Then it scratched its nose. I had to go for a long walk and wiggle hips and all sorts. So perhaps that's why. She said all looked good but this is just a precaution!

Good luck to those with scans today! I'm having a much less exciting flu jab

@Gilli1234 me - I'm ravenous, all the time 🙈 and I don't really have a bump either. Just feel fatter! If I lie on my back my stomach is flat, so no real bump yet. Am impatient now!

I've never heard of this cord bank either - thanks @StargazyDrifter that's really interesting

Best of luck to everyone with scans coming up xx

@wombatron I have just have my nhs scan and will definitely get a private one in the next few weeks - just love seeing baby and having the reassurance ☺️

I was really hungry, constantly, up until about 10 weeks, now I’ve just gone back to normal, how I was before pregnant - which is little-no appetite and it’s a chore to get lunch/dinner etc. I miss the hungry days it was way more fun! I never struggled with debilitating sickness though so maybe that’s why I was able to eat constantly.

Flat stomach when I lie on my back too. Don’t want to show though I’m aiming to be like Beckanne90 😆 doubt I’ll be that lucky though!

It’s not always a good thing late on people either assumed I was early pregnant or just gained weight so didn’t dare to ask which one. After I gave birth I’d get many “I saw you and didn’t know if you was or not so didn’t want to ask” 🙈.

I can’t stop eating either, I’ve gained over half a stone already. Hormones do me no good though I get terrible retention (at least I keep using this excuse so I feel less guilty about all the food)

Good luck to everyone having their scans today ☺️

All ok with baby, we have a very wriggly one! Kept kicking legs and putting hand to mouth! I'm 3 days ahead so now due 27th July x

Congratulations @Giraffe888

Great news @Giraffe888! My heart's already going a million miles an hour and I've still another 2 hours to go 😣

Question.... I've to take a pee sample, I've only got like half the bottle filled , should I have it full ? It's just so they can dip it isn't it ?

Congratulations @Giraffe888

That will be fine @ReginaPhalange89

How's everyone feeling? I'm definitely getting larger. Gained must be close to half a stone. My boobs have got huge. They were big anyway (34F) but they must be close to a 34H now. Im not sure how much bigger they could possibly get?!

Scan done, dated 27th July (previously thought I was 28th July). Very fascinating to see, could have watched it all day!

Great news @giraffe and @reeny.

Fingers crossed @regina you’ll be nearly in there now!

Great news on today's scans!

Doughnuts I've defo put on weight - and my boobs are feeling bigger too

Yay good news all round today girls !

My scan went really well, got tons of photos ! Measurements are putting my due date forward by a full week ! Which can't be right but I'm going with it lol. Just waiting to see the midwife now and they'll tell me my due date but think it's going to be 23rd July !

💕

Lovely scans guys... @ReginaPhalange89 amazing very flat back like my little ones... what do you recon it will be... must be an expert at these things now having two children already x

Regina yaaaayyy! Lovely pic x

I honestly don't know ! I think the nub is pointing up so going by that boy,. But all the photos look so different 🙈 so really no clue . And the skull looks round in some and more square in others so honestly can't go by either nub or skull lol.
My guts saying boy just because I've been feeling different to the last 2

On another note, I asked the sonographer what she thought of the nub theory and she said she reckons it's nonsense because it can look different in each shot . She did show me between the legs and said "something there ? Hmm maybe. But it's so tiny to be sure".... So who knows !
