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.

Still no names for us!! Lots of ideas but being a teacher makes it feel so much trickier as I name associate so much.

Bump is coming along well - 26+2 today but took this yesterday 🤰🏻

Some lovely bumps 😊 these little bubbas are getting so big now I'm 27 weeks today and still haven't got a well rounded bump, feeling lots of movement though
I'm struggling with my LO at the moment picking him up and carrying him about is killing my back lol he's very chunky & big for a 9 month old too 😂

Jowd92 · 23/09/2019 07:21

I feel like mine is much smaller this time round @december2019 I know how you feel I'm suffering from pgp and carrying my 13 month old son is horrendous I have my first physio in 2 weeks

December2019 · 23/09/2019 09:01

@Jowd92 it's so bad isn't it! It feels like my pelvis is crumbling away and my hips are grinding together 😩
Even picking his toys up off the floor bloody hurts 😂

Jowd92 · 23/09/2019 09:12

Yes it's awful I suffer mainly at bed times when I'm trying to get comfortable and lying on my hips is so sore and trying to get down the stairs of a morning is hard work trying to get my little one to learn to do the stairs but he doesn't want to know so the extra weight of him on my hip really doesn't help the Joy's ay Haha! @december2019

StephRae · 23/09/2019 10:11

Anyone else started getting really bad back pains as well? I’ve been suffering from it quite bad, it’s awful 😩

TTc2019BabyNo1 · 23/09/2019 10:52

Wow look at the wonderful bumps! I’m nearly 27 weeks but mine isn’t a nice round bump yet! I still just look chubby lol!!
I am feeling your pain on the pgp - I haven’t spoken to midwife about it but i’m pretty sure it’s what I have, standing on one like to put socks on is proving a struggle 🙈!
Is anyone still taking their pregnancy vitamins?

StephRae · 23/09/2019 10:56

I still take pregnancy vitamins not sure how long I’ll keep taking them though.

RLI1105 · 23/09/2019 11:53

Everyone's bumps looks great! 😍
Mine seems to be coming along too! In normal clothes I look very visibly pregnant but at work in my uniform (I'm a nurse) I don't look pregnant at all. It's like witchcraft!

I'm 26+5 and the last week I am feeling so much more tired. Just really rundown! I have a cold which won't be helping.
I'm just sitting on my bed working up the courage to go to the supermarket. Christmas feels like a long way away!

Funnybunnyfluff · 23/09/2019 11:56

@StephRae My midwife just said keep taking the vitamins😁 no reason to stop.

Loving the bumps pics from everyone. Nice to see.

Got my glucose test, anti d inject and scan on Thursday 🙈 not really looking forward to that day lol.

spannerintheneck · 23/09/2019 12:23

26+2 I feel absolutely massive 😂sleeping is already quite difficult and my new fancy pillow doesn't seem to make much difference!

Still need to buy a pillow,I'm not sleeping well I keep talking about a pillow not sure if I should or not.

Has it helped others?

I always sleep on my side but now want to sleep on my back 🙈 so annoying.

Sianii · 23/09/2019 19:08

I attended my first antenatal class today... came out with mixed feelings about it. Probably would not have felt so bad if it wasn’t for another pregnant lady thought I was a ‘helper’ rather than in attendance off 🙈

Had to awkwardly explain I’m a mum to be as well. Not sure if its because maybe my bump wasn’t as obvious... or because I look a lot younger than I actually am😂

Funnybunnyfluff · 23/09/2019 20:00

Oh bless you, probably because you look younger 😁.

My first NCT is 10th Oct will be Getting a bit real then.

StephRae · 23/09/2019 21:08

@spannerintheneck your bump looking amazing!
@Funnybunnyfluff definitely would recommend a pregnancy pillow, I wasn’t sure either but they’re super comfortable.

Funnybunnyfluff · 23/09/2019 22:37

@StephRae

Which pillow did you buy?

StephRae · 24/09/2019 07:41

@Funnybunnyfluff I got a queen Rose one but they’re quite expensive and I was luckily enough to buy it off a friend for half the price.

StephRae · 24/09/2019 07:41

*lucky

Funnybunnyfluff · 24/09/2019 10:15

Not as bad as I thought cost wise. I'm starting to really ache in bed.

Has good reviews also. 😁

Comps83 · 24/09/2019 19:24

I haven’t used my pillow for a while
I’m still so uncomfortable but it doesn’t seem to help . All I want to do is sleep on my back .

I’m feeling quite tired and emotional tonight and I’ve got yet another bstrd uti.

xTinkerbell · 24/09/2019 22:10

Maybe needing to invest in a pillow...my back and sides of legs are in agony when I get up in the morning and it's affecting my sleep a lot

NapsAndTea · 25/09/2019 20:54

Had my first night-leg-cramp last night ... woke up in so much pain 😫 it's been sore all day so feeling sorry for myself 🙈

Comps83 · 25/09/2019 21:11

Oh dear
I’ve been feeling sorry for myself all day
Almost drown myself trying to flush out this uti and heartburn is killing me .

Funnybunnyfluff · 26/09/2019 06:22

With any of the pregnancy pillows I assume I can't use ur own pillow. I like to lay pretty flat as thick pillows give me neck ache.

I'm guessing that wouldn't happen with the pregnancy ones.
