Christmas babies part 2

[Mamabear12]

Realised we need another thread as the other one reached 1000!

Glad to hear scans went well today.

Who else is waiting for their harmony results now? I am hoping to get them in the next few days! But I suspect Friday at the earliest and probably next week Monday! I had the bloods taken for it Thursday morning.

I k ow that feeling completely. I had my 16 week appointment today and heard the heart beat. So was pleased to know baby is still there 😁.

It's very strange x

Can I ask how much people have paid for private scans? We're thinking of getting one so need to call up and book it but would like an idea of the damage 😂🙈 feeling very round now! 🤰🏻

Here they are £65 well worth it I think.
Had one at 9 weeks as reassurance after a MC and got one booked for 2 weeks time again just to check all ok and they go through all the organs before my 20 weeks scan and it's a lovely place and ladies are brilliant.

I paid £59 for a well being & gender scan last week. Easily worth the money.

Is anyone else struggling to not sleep on their back? I’m making a conscious effort to not and it’s just making me wake up with back ache 😖

@jpaws @Funnybunnyfluff thank you - that's about what I'd hoped it'd be ☺️

Yes I'm trying hard to sleep on my side (using pillows for help) but I often wake up on my back or with a stiff neck! If I nap it's usually on my back 🤦🏻‍♀️

Scans are so cheap over there! I'm in Ireland and paying 140 for gender scan next week

Our private scan revealed drumroll we are having a 👪

@Napsandtea yeah I used a pillow behind my back, after my midwife suggested it, so that if it doesn't stop me from rolling on to my back at least it will cushion it - not sure how much its helping so far. I also prefer my right side to my left!

Congratulations @Sianii :D

@jpaws me too! If I'm on my side my right is preferable

I read about it and always sleep on my side anyway mainly my left hand side but no one has mentioned it to me even when I saw the midwife yesterday.

Congratulations on a little boy xx

Visited mothercare with my husband, wow where do you start lol!

Walked in walked round walked out. 😂!

Trying to look up push chairs and car seats it's a min field. Looking online for information before we go and hassle staff lol.

Comps83 Sometimes I don’t feel pregnant as not showing much. And as it’s summer time, parties etc people keep offering me drinks so many don’t notice I’m pregnant either!

Although by end of day I feel pregnant as I’m tired and bigger.

Sianii Congratulations on the boy!

@Funnybunnyfluff we have made back and forth trips (when we are shopping for other things generally) and end up googling things we liked the look of. I notice even with sale you can still find a lot of things cheaper elsewhere 🤷‍♀️

We wasn't going there just to the shop next door and I dragged hubby in lol.

Was very funny he said wow I'm out of my depth 😂 I said yes me too lol. Let's go hehe

@Sianii congratulations!! I have a little boy, boys are amazing 💙

I think I'm unmistakably pregnant looking now 😂 In fact I saw a colleague from another office the other day and he said 'wow, how long have you got to go?!' Er, about 5 months... 🤦‍♀️

Hahah @peasando 😂

I'm still meant to be hiding it from parents at work which is nearly impossible - some of them must definitely know and everyone else must think I'm unseasonably cold with the big scarves I keep wearing 🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyone felt any movement yet?

I’m 19 weeks this week and felt movement from last week. Not felt anything today so getting worried (although sometimes they are so soft I don’t know if I’m missinf them) but think midwife said he will get his own pattern soon?

Scan next week and I can’t wait to see him again x

@Comps83 No movement at all for me although I'm only 15+5. I have been chatting to people at work and family members and the majority of them said they were between 22-24 weeks with their first so I'm not stressing too much!

I have just gotten back from the hospital - my sister in law has just had the most beautiful baby girl! Cuddling her was just the best thing. My husband and I are saying how we're so inpatient for our own! 😂

I'm 16 weeks and feel like I can just about feel something... though it could be me imagining it!!

@Comps83 I'm 15+3. Have felt like I've felt something a few times but nothing prominent. I was 14+3 with DS so a bit disappointed!

Hi everyone ain't been on for a while as been away on holiday and just about catched back up with my washing and house work lol, I also feel the same I'm 15 +2 and apart from my bump I dont feel pregnant at all had a few bubbles feelings in my belly that's about it having my gender scan next week excited nervous at the same time

Im not sure if I’ve felt anything, nothing that can’t be passed off as wind anyway

I feel the baby move daily, usually in evenings. But it’s barely noticeable and I only notice it because I have had two kids before so know what to look for. But it’s not often and sometimes I worry like what’s going on in there? Can’t wait to feel more strong kicks etc. Also, doesn’t help that people keep being shocked when I say I’m pregnant and say they can’t see a thing. Although, I def feel bigger. Especially my breasts!

Anyone else feeling a little bored being pregnant? I guess I missing the drinking and socialising. Over the weekend we did some socialising, where everyone else drank and I didn’t. Boring! Well; it was fun still; but I missed having a nice glass of wine. Ah well. Soon enough. I also miss my usual exercise class; that I can’t do when pregnant. Also; starting to miss just eating freely!

At least I’m starting to feel better 😀
