Jan 2020 - Thread 5!!

[Victoriaaaaaaaa]

Wow how are we on thread 5 already?!

@mynameismrg I badly needed to finish I couldn’t handle it anymore. I was ill 24/7! I still am but at least I get to relax in bed until whenever I want now! Hope the 24th comes round quickly for you.

I’m pregnant with my 4th and I’m sure I can feel tiny flickers of movement. I’m 12 weeks and 2 days. I felt my son really early too. It’s definitely not a dodgy tummy as I’ve had many of them recently and this feels different 💕

@beth3735 how exciting! With my ds I didn’t feel any movement until about 22/23 weeks (I had an anterior placenta). Hoping it will be earlier this time round as it’s such a nice feeling

@karryk Bleugh 🤮!!! I used to know someone who actually used to snack on raw sausages - they genuinely didn't realize they had raw meat in. I mean...HOW??!!!

I've been feeling movement for a few weeks now (currently 14+6) and it probably started around 11 weeks. I'm feeling it pretty regularly throughout the day. I forgot what a lovely feeling it is 😍 (in the early days at least 😂). It is my second though so recognise the feelings. I felt it at around 16 weeks with my first.

I thought I felt something a couple of weeks ago, but in hindsight I think it was wind! haha

Yeah my son was around 11 weeks too. It really is a nice feeling. Apart from since feeling more movements I’ve been needing to pee more frequent again. It’s a pain when I’m working 😂😂

I thought someone had mentioned the Facebook group as I got a flurry of messages coming through! 😂

If anyone else wants to join just message me and I'll add you! We're currently at 51 members 😍

@Victoriaaaaaaaa I'll join as soon as I get my 12wk blood test results (would feel like I'm tempting fate if I do it before then!). Thanks for adminning!

Just pm'd you Victoriaaaa!

I think I'm super aware of all the feelings in my stomach and desperately wanting to feel the baby but I'm pretty sure it's too early given its my first one (14+4).

I feel so far behind you all- only 11 +2 & not even had my 12 wk scan yet! Im literally wishing my life away at the moment to get further along!! xx

I think I've had a few flicks but anterior placenta AGAIN so will hardly feel anything AGAIN 😭😭😭😭

I keep thinking I feel something every now and then...sometimes it's a strange 'turning' feeling. I started to feel DD at 17 weeks and it started as a popping feeling, changed to a light tickle, then to good old kicks and thumps...usually at 3am

@poposaurus i’m with you on this one. I’m only 10 weeks + 6 days. I’m so far behind everyone else. Making it drag more seeing everyone’s 12 week scans x

I'm only 11 weeks too 12 week scan booked for the 15th, can't wait to hopefully be able to share the good news!

My scan is on Friday, Im so excited/ nervous! Really hope everythings ok! xx

@SleepingStandingUp I hear you on the anterior placenta front as have a anterior placenta again. I was really hoping for prosterior this time too. Although I do seem hyper-aware of movements as it was difficult to monitor movements with my first so really had to tune in.

Just catching up now I’m back from my camping trip, so jealous of the beautiful bumps and scan pics! I
’m only 11 weeks today but still on annual leave until after my scan on the 16th so I feel like the pressures off for abit.
Camping wasn’t as bad as I was fretting at all! Lovely actually, apart from the lack of sleep. But was nice to wear tighter dresses and not hold in my stomach, kind of ham it up if you like 😛 pretty sure it’s a chips and pasty bump but it didn’t stop me doing the classic hand on belly/arched back pose down the beach in my maternity swim suit

Does anyone here have good knowledge about standard ssp? I think I've been underpaid 🤔

I'm 15 weeks today and haven't felt a thing! I think this is normal though?
Sometimes I think I feel something but it's just gas...

Got my gender scan in 10 days!!
Anyone else finding out soon?

@Victoriaaaaaaaa ssp is £94.25 a week (so low!) I got paid some last month

surprised you only get SSP for pregnancy sickness @Victoriaaaaaaaa and @DaisyMay25! What kind of jobs do you have? Seems mean!

I’ve got my 12 week scan today, I’m super excited! Not feeling nervous really because we had an early scan at 10 weeks when everything looked fine. As long as my NT measurement looks ok, I’ll start telling people after the scan. I’m not back at work until Monday so will tell them then - that bit I’m not looking forward to - I work in a small team of 4 so one person’s absence is really felt, and to make matters worse I know that one of the others is also about to hand in his notice ... I’m praying I can get my news in first before he quits or it will be even more badly received.

@DinoGreen I go company pay too, I think my work just do it strangely!

Good luck for your scan! At least you're giving them plenty of notice though!

Good luck for the scan Dino! You've definitely got in there first anyway, you made the baby months ago! I guess the immediate reaction will be less stressed if you get in front of him.

Picked up my toddler today and twisted and the muscles under my stomach are now throbbing. I need to remember I am pregnant and can’t just throw him up on to my hip anymore 😕🤦🏻‍♀️

@mynameisMrG I feel your pain - my 15kg 3 year old always wants to be picked up and already I can only manage him for a few minutes. It makes me a little bit sad because by the time I can pick him up again, he probably won’t want to be 😢

@DinoGreen if he's going soon hopefully replacement will be in well before you leave. Will you not get maternity cover?

Feeling you all with the painful muscles. Lay funny in single bed last. Night as DS needed cuddled before he could go to sleep and now in agony down my right side rib cage, def muscular. I've had to take the pushchair to school even thho DS walks becasue I can't pull all his equipment in the trolley as normal
