New thread ladies :)

Has to be the most active thread on MN!

Feel free to state how far you are/EDD in your first post here so we have a reminder of who is where :)

Happy 2nd trimester to everyone now I think!

I’m 13+6 and due March 26th ❤️

@helplessneedy let us know how you get on :)

I will let you know. Quick question is anyone still on pregnacare?

@helplessneedy I thought I'd say hi! I think we are due similar times and I also have a 5 year old girl

@barnyb It it just sore? Or going hard too?
I'm in freaking agonny with my belly, I have groin and belly aching but I've got a cough and I've coughed so much I've pulled the muscles more so it's a constant ache :(. I'm using a warm microwave pillow and paracetamols xx

@Yvonne1988 Ah how lush I think I can see a foot!! Very clear scan pic x

@misspepper8 yeh she purposely got that picture with the foot. There's another with a fist too

@helplessneedy yes I'm still taking it everyday x

@satsumasaturday @Jesskir89 @MissPepper8 hello! Thanks for asking. Was in a fair bit of pain most of the day all over my belly. And then in the evening it was very tight and really uncomfortable. I could feel baby moving around most of the day and evening so I didn't go up the hospital. The midwife said as long as your not bleeding and no extra fluid comes out then it's ok to stay at home. Basically I think it was a lot of stretching and a lot of change all of a sudden. Iv noticed my belly has gotten so much bigger in the last few days. My belly button looks different too! Apparently at 22 weeks there is a huge shift and growth of Uterus and of course baby is growing she should now be 1lb. So it's all going on! :) :) hope it doesn't happen today xxxx

@ttc19 oh how lovely, 😊. Hi hi
Any feelings of jealousy from your girl? How are you preparing her for a sibling ?

@barnyb so glad everything's ok! I've been having similar tight/stretching feelings too so that was super reassuring to read. Hope you're ok! Xx

@helplessneedy No jealousy.. not yet anyway. She's grown up all of a sudden though!! And is quite needy, especially with daddy! X

@helplessneedy I'm taking high dose of folic acid and vit D daily :) @barnyb glad you're OK and 1lb already! Wow :)

@helplessneedy I’m still taking the free ones the midwife gave me which have folic acid, vit d and vit c plus 2 x little iron tablets.
Have some pregnacare sample packs so will take those when these run out.
Pregnancy does deplete your stores so it won’t be doing you any harm!

@helplessneedy I’m still taking them and intend to for the duration. I’m sure it’s probably not necessary, but I’m a sucker for the advertising guilt trip!

Hi everyone. I'm really late joining this but hey ho 😁 I'm due 22nd March with a boy, I already have a little boy who is 27 months old and omg am i struggling this time around 😳 I feel absolutely huge and feel as though I'm struggling to do anything lately!! I feel like a old woman 🤣🤣

@barnyb It could be round ligament pain, think that's what I've got it's bloody painful. Hope it passes for you x

I've got my 20 week scan tomorrow, im scared as hell. I'm so worried there will be something wrong, because I took sick pills a few times and I've been sick quite alot. Seriously nervous.

@MissPepper8 awww bless you hopefully all will be ok tomorrow :) just look at the positive.. you get see baby tomorrow :)

Yeah it wasn't great but seems to have calmed down today! I guess I better start being tough because iv got worse to come eh! X x

@Paigeo welcome :) I'm due 21st with my 1st

@jesskir89 awww so nearly the same date 😁 my due date is mothers day so I doubt I will be out enjoying a meal (depending when baby arrives) 🤣🤣 are you feeling any movements yet?

Final countdown to my anomaly scan now. Although not feeling nervous after the scan the other day. Won't tell them I know and just get them to double check 😂

@Paigeo I've only felt the odd flutters as I've got an anterior placentor. Hopefully now baby is bigger than the placentor ill start to feel him more :) that would be lovely if he or she came on mother's day :) When's your 20 week scan x

@Jesskir89 oh really do they tell you where your placenta is at your scan? I'm just wondering because I've felt the odd flutters aswell but thought I might have felt more by now being my second. And it's on the 8th November cant wait 😁😁 when is yours? X

Good Luck today @MissPepper8 Hope all goes well at your scan, I’m sure it will. X

@Paigeo They didn't actually tell me I had anterior placenta but they wrote it in the notes after my 12 weeks scan, Check your book and you might have placenta position written in there.

@MockingJay27 I swear they did that to me with DS.. I have a vague memory of reading anterior placenta and not understanding but I wasn't told. DS movements now I'm thinking of it, I didn't feel him until 18/19 weeks but I didn't feel him quite as much as this baby or as strongly. Shame I can't find out now.

@barnyb @MockingJay27 Thank you both, I'm a bit better today just anxious to get the checks done now. Hope we don't get any sneak potty shots too! My scans midday so not long.

Good luck @MissPepper8! Will be thinking of you Xxx.

Ladies, I've been feeling increased flutters yesterday after breakfast, lunch, and late at night. Feels like driving too fast down a really large hill! Hope this is the start of more movement.
