BFP - Anyone else feb 2020? Continued ...

Continued thread as the old one reached 1k

Woke up last night with bad nausea so random. Anyone else wake up from it? I usually get it if I'm tired or hubgry.

I'm really interested in people's bumps, people keep telling me I'm tiny and am I sure I don't just need a poo 🙄. It's making me a bit paranoid and upset tbh.

I'm 14+0 today, second baby but a long way apart (13 years). Fit and active before the pregnancy and a size 12UK. I know I'm expanding because my trousers don't fit!

This is in a stretchy skirt and top.

@beccarocksbaby my mother in law said the same thing! Well, she asked when I'm going to start looking pregnant lol 😄 she wasn't being mean about it, she just thinks I won't have a massive bump. But I know what you mean! All bumps are going to be different and I wouldn't worry. I'm 15+3 and this is mine, pretty small still 😊 but it's hard and pretty sure I've felt some movements. I have my 16 week appointment tomorrow so hopefully midwife will let me hear the heartbeat and it will feel as real as when I had the scan! I agree it would be great to see more bumps though 😊

@beccarocksbaby your bump is bigger than mine and I'm 14+6 - I just look thick around the waist except in the morning when I have an obvious little bump, but it disappears somewhere as soon as I'm up!

Exciting about the gender news for everyone that's found out! I'm still thinking I don't want to find out but might change my mind at the 20 week scan.

Looking forward to my kids going back to school next week - much as I love them it's been knackering doing summer holidays with them while so exhausted in the first trimester, so I'm looking forward to a few quiet hours to myself on my days off work!

I just look fat!

I'm 16 weeks today and look 6 months 🙄 it's mostly bloat, gas and toast but I can't seem to shift it whatever I do. The last week I've been swimming, done a Pilates class, a kettlebell class, 6 hours gardening yesterday and walked 9 miles today and I still haven't got any smaller!
I had a bacon sandwich, 3 doughnuts, a 99 and a cappuccino at the beach today because I thought sod it, I'm already fat!

I’m 16+3 and I think I just look fat 😂

@Ginny1234 😂😂😂😂

Thanks everyone I really appreciate the reassurance 😊

I'm really quite insecure about my bodily changes as gaining weight is not something I like after 2 years of dieting and being so healthy to suddenly be exhausted and unable to exercise and then gain weight is a bit 🤯

Try not to worry (says me who does daily). My bump changes from small to looking like I'm due by the evening. I have to be mindful of what clothes I wear to work because come the afternoon it's digging in (even some under bump maternity trousers!)

@Marleym28 thanks 😊

I'm only really "swelling up" when I have dairy. My lactose intolerance is so much worse now I'm pregnant! I've always had a reaction to milk 🥛 but not if it's small amounts in things IYKWIM but now it's EVERYTHING.

Good job dairy free ice cream is just like the real thing right? (It's not it sucks 😭)

I just told work this morning (I work at a school and wanted to get it done before term starts!) head teacher was really lovely and supportive and now I'm feeling way better about it all. Now just waiting for my 16 week appointment in a couple of hours.

Also thought I'd let you all know that I bought some great maternity jeans/ jeggings from New Look yesterday. They were £15.99 and have the over bump bit, really like them! They also have lots of other maternity things. I got a dress in the sale which will be great all the way through and it's a nursing one for after 😊 worth a look!

Had my cardiac appointment today and I've booked my 16 week appointment. All going well so far. My 5 year old kneed my stomach last night by mistake obviously but I asked about it today and they said it should be ok cuz there's lots of padding for them

@lovesT that's so lovely 😊 I feel like a bit of an inconvenience at work, I had to tell them at 5 weeks and due to the nature of my work be moved out of my usual role etc. It's been a PITA for them.

@beccarocksbaby sorry you feel like that, but we have to keep in mind that this is going to happen with women and we are protected when we tell work so don't worry! Just enjoy it, I'm grateful for these forums because we're all in the same boat in some way!

I just had my 16 week appointment and I'm so happy I got to hear the heartbeat 😍😍😍 the midwife was lovely and everything seems to be going well so that's nice to know as I have to wait until the end of next month for the next scan.

Today has been a good pregnancy day after worrying about work and not knowing how baby is doing. Anyone else have appointments coming up?

Glad everyone is doing ok. I have my 26 week appointment (at 17 weeks) on the 11th of September and then our gender scan on the 15th and 20 week 27th. Exciting month September!

That's true @lovesT I do miss my job, it's because I'm at risk of violence I've been moved. It's for the best but I love my job lol.

I'm trying to find things I enjoy doing in current role and the slower pace isn't all bad

LOVELY SEEING BUMP PICS.

im MASSIVE. i have ripped stomach muscles and an hernia. (joy) so i cant hold a lot in, not even my bowels... poking out through my weak abdominal walls and pop out through my hernia hole - its super painful to walk and ive piled on weight. feeling very shit. and im hating this heat.

to top it off, i cant stop worrying about movements since someone said on here other day, that their baby was having a right wriggle. im 18+2 and only feel slight bubble/tap movements on my c-section scar area, only about 3 times a day. nothing more. cant help but worry. i hate it. ive had a previous stillbirth at 41+3 and normally my movement anxiety comes in later on, but this time, its here already. 5th pregnancy too (and final) to make matters worse, i should in theory know whats going on, but this pregnancy is so different to any other. i know everyones different but that for some reason made me panic. (gender scan he was wriggling like mad, 16 week doppler he was wriggling away from so he is wriggling, why cant i feel it)

on a positive note - GBBO starts tonight, i love it.

im a bridesmaid on thursday, my beautiful dress that matched the other bridesmaids is a distnat memory, i now have a little mistress maternity maxi dress. i feel a right frump in it. but hoping after hair n makeup ill feel better - god please let it cool down!

sorry for my whine. just needed to get it out.

@bessie84 that sounds very tough in this heat as well. Have an ice cream on me🍦

I.hate.this.heat!!
Someone said to me earlier ‘oh it can’t be that bad being pregnant in this heat’ I wanted to rip their head off 😂
I’m carrying so low I think he might fall out 😂

Should have had 16 week midwife appointment tomorrow, but she has cancelled it so have to wait for her to rearrange.

@bessie84 I hope things get better for you soon, I also had a stillbirth so I understand your anxiety!

Hi @beccarocksbaby thanks for the tip on cutting out diary since I did I have felt better. Like all you other lovely mums-to-be I am hating the heat, I work in central London and public transport is vile. To the lady who hasn't felt her baby move yet, with my first I didn't till 20 weeks and I'm 16 weeks currently and haven't felt a thing. I have my 16 week appointment on Friday, but I'll have a toddler in tow so I doubt it will be very constructive. I'm feeling worse now than I did a couple of weeks ago, sick and faint and headaches. Anyone else still suffering? Really hoping it doesn't last all pregnancy.

@ClaireCordell so glad you're feeling a bit better, I'm suffering with dizziness, hubby sent me this earlier

Which explains it well!

I’m only 14 weeks and my bump seems to have suddenly appeared out of nowhere! I got offered a seat on the tube yesterday and wasn’t even wearing a baby on board badge

Aw loving the bump pics! Sorry just catching up. My bump is huge! I’m 17 weeks, I keep thinking well I am in month 5 now so that’s ok to pop out a bit..? I had 3 work friends separately rub my bump yesterday haha. (I don’t mind we’ve known each other years.) First week it’s been really noticeable I think.

Is anyone feeling regular movements? By now with my daughter I felt her all the time but I have only felt odd flicks and thumps so far :( It makes me worry although I know it is still early.

@InOmniaParatus13 urgh I bought a new shampoo (L’Oréal coconutty one) loving the smell initially...but as soon as it was in my hair in the shower urgh I wanted to shave my head lol. It stinks. Gone off so many of my perfumes too. DH bought me J’adore for our anniversary and that one is going down nicely so far :)

@hazandduck I'm feeling like you, I've felt the odd little movement but it's not everyday and it hasn't been particularly strong either. It's making me worry a little lol even though I know it's a bit irrational. I'm 16 weeks Saturday so I'm slightly behind you but hoping the movements become more and stronger in the next couple of weeks. Counting down to my midwife appointment so I can hear baby's heartbeat

Love the bump pics! I'm 16+2 and I'm most definitely showing. Not feeling any movements yet and this is my first so I have nothing to compare it to!
I have a posterior placenta so hoping I will start to feel something soon. trying not too worry about it too much as I'm guessing it's quite early still?

I am telling my workplace the news this afternoon (I've only been here since the start of July!) - wish me luck 😊
