My 20 week scan is Monday evening @ScotsBaby2 😁

Yes I am taking it easy! Got my gender scan today at 2:45pm so excited to find out baby's gender as already got 2 DD's.
See if they mention anything about the placenta in this scan.

Did you have many problems with yours fully covering @UnicornDust17 ?xx

When's your 20 week scan @Bakingabean?

Just been for gender scan, we're having a girl 💗 xx

@chiatta I've booked NCT classes aswell. Like you say it would be good to make mum friends IRL (as well as you lovely bunch!)

Also this is my first and at the moment feel completely clueless!! Not sure how helpful classes will be, but I am embracing all opportunities to learn before the little one arrives.

@Blueberry2018 congrats! Girls are wonderful!

Good luck with your scan @OctoberGirl91

Congrats @Blueberry2018

Hey @unicorndust17 my scan isn't till the 22nd when I'll be 21+2 annoyingly! I know it's not that long to wait but it seems like ages! I'm glad I had the sex scan a few weeks ago to break up the weeks between 12 and 21.

He is a wiggly baby as I feel movements every day (right now too) so I'm much more relaxed. So much so I went baby shopping with my mum this morning. Her first grandchild so she's very excited!

Can't wait to hear about all the 20 week scans! Can't believe it's almost half way!

@chiatta @MrsRyan15 Ive also booked classes - they start in May. 2 of my friends did the same ones and said it was a great way to meet people. Their tutor was a bit evangelical earth mother (I don't have her luckily) but still said it was useful. Not cheap though!

@Bakingabean I'll be 21 weeks at my scan too - it's not until the 12th April so feels like forever!

@sacrecoeur0712 I know right! The wait is killing me!

@Octobergirl91 hope your scan went well!

Over the moon, we have got a boy! Can't believe it 💙💙 so emotional xxx

@Octobergirl91 high five on the boy! Congrats!

@chiatta, @bakingabean and @MrsRyan15 I'm doing NCT classes too though not til June. It Isa bit expensive but similarly this is my first so I'm hoping to get lots of info plus we've only been living here just over a year and, although we've met some lovely people, we have quite made friends as such so I'm hoping this will also help.
I think I felt the little bean yesterday, it was like a flick from the inside though I've not noticed anything today so maybe it wasn't!
I definitely now also have a permanent bump (so isn't bloating!) and my boobs just keep growing - a whole new concept for me as I've never got past a b-cup before. How is everyone else feeling about their growing bumps and boobs?

@bakingabean and @sacrecoeur0712 I'm going to.be 21+1 at mine on 25th April. Soooo long to wait!

Congrats @OctoberGirl91,did they say anything about your placenta? (if that's not to personal a question ) xx

@keebo I've definitely been feeling this little wriggler a lot more this week..

@keebo my boobs have started hurting again and I think they are growing out of the non underwired bras I bought specially only 2 weeks ago! So I’m not happy about the expense. Or the pain- thought that was a 1st trimester thing?!
Re bump we have started taking pics of it as of today, will do one every week which should be fun. At this stage I could still pass as just having a fat tummy. I’m looking forward to being obviously pregnant (though I bet i will be eating my words when I have to waddle around commuting for 1:30 hrs a day)...
@OctoberGirl91 congrats on the boy!

@UnicornDust17 placenta is still covering the cervix but said NHS will re assess at 20 weeks.

Can't believe we've got a boy after 2 DD so happy xxx

@OctoberGirl91 amazing!! Congrats! That's the same as us! It's amazing but does feel unbelievable to have a boy after two girls! It's nice to have something new going on.

@OctoberGirl91 Congrats- how exciting!!

Thank you everyone really can't believe it, over the moon xx

@OctoberGirl91 I'm the opposite to you - a girl after two boys. It's so exciting to have a new experience to look forward to isn't it?

Aww congratulations @sacrecoeur0712 it definitely is! Can't wait for August now xx

@keebo when I first felt the little flick feeling it was only once or twice and not every day, it took a few weeks for it to be more regular. Now I feel it most mornings and evenings when I'm relaxing, oh and on the tube yesterday! It's so cool!

And still haven't got a proper bump. I just look a bit chubby most of the time. going on holiday at the end of March so hoping bump appears by then so I don't just look fat in a swim suit!
