[Keyboard91]

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 ❤️

@emilyG7 mine isn't until 21 weeks on 8th Nov but I'm hoping they will see it on Fridays scan(16 week) then we have to decide lol

Someone is being the most active they have been so far tonight 💖

Thanks everyone for the well wishes, I really appreciate it. Stuck in hospital again overnight, but they've given me more morphine to temporarily take away pain. Fingers crossed for some progress tomorrow.

@EmilyG7 I’m on my third too and feeling a bit similar. Life with two is straightforward and I’m really worried how I’m going to manage three. The logistics really but also because I had mild PND with my first and I’m concerned about that. I’ve spoken to my midwife and she’s been lovely & understanding.
@Yvonne1988 what a relief all is good. That must have been scary.
@Dinosauraddict you poor thing, I hope you get some answers soon!

@dinosauraddict any update on what it is yet? How you feeling? X

Still not sure what it is, but going down for scan in 15 mins so hopefully will at least know that baby is ok if nothing else! That's my main priority atm, but I came in Sun night and they haven't done an ultrasound yet which has been stressing me out.

Scan has been delayed until 1.45pm ☹️

Just been signed off for 4 weeks! They didn't even question me. I was expecting them to be like we'll take 2 and see how it goes. Said I wanted to get to my next scan. Wow. Quite shocked lol. Don't even know if I earn enough for sick pay anymore ..

does anyone know if you have more blood tests after the 20 week scan? I had mine immediately after the 12 week scan and they all came back ok. just wondering how much time I'll need at the hospital.

@whiskersonkittens my plan says I will have more bloods at week 28 and 34

@dinosauraddict that's ridiculas you'd think that would be the first thing they did... Please let us know how it goes xx

@Dinosauraddict I hope everything has gone ok at the scan, can't believe they have only done one today!

@whiskersonkittenss I'm not sure they take bloods again at the 20 week - I thought the ones done at 12 week were for the screening so they won't take them again. I have been warned by friends though that the 20 week scan takes much longer than the 12 week as they are checking much more. When is yours? I imagine some will be having them next week so can report back if yours is later (mines on the 11th)

@Dinosauraddict hope you’re ok.

@MissPepper8 and @satsumasaturday I was also getting awful headaches and used 4head most days. But I also had Acupuncture which I swear has helped loads! I swear by it. Something to consider.

I've only just caught up on the new thread and sorry to hear some of you are suffering. I'm 17+5 today. We have our anomaly scan next Friday. Are most of you finding out the sex? We're so undecided as to whether we should or not.

@maybenextmonth I'm finding out :) but not for another 4 weeks

@Yvonne1988 it's so exciting but I kind of like the idea of a surprise. At the same time I want to know what clothes I can buy. How far are you now? I saw you had bleeding, are you feeling okay now?

@maybenextmonth That's something I've never tried but I'd like too. I've got another headache again now. I think it must be because I'm not sleeping enough. I had 5 hours last night :(

@whiskersonkittenss it’s 28 weeks for the next bloods unless you have any extra health issues.

@maybenextmonth I couldn't deal with a surprise lol I want to buy for what I'm having. I am 15+5. Yeh iv been alright today thanks. But iv somehow managed to get signed off work, it always seems to happen after a few hours in work but midwife didn't think it was connected, I'd rather not take the chance, so im off til after my scan! Id feel guilty if I didn't hate my boss lol.

@misspepper8 I get headaches when I don't sleep and my insomnia seems to have come back the one week I didn't want it to

@dinosauraddict how did you get on? @maybenextmonth we've been really indecisive and I've got a 16 week scan Friday but I think we're going to because everything neutral is so grey!

Hey everyone, thanks for the thoughts and wishes. Unfortunately I'm still in hospital. Was incredibly angry earlier, they booked me the ultrasound but with someone who wasn't trained in anything baby-related, so they checked my gallbladder and liver (both fine) but have to wait until TOMORROW to check baby is ok..

@jesskir89 see I love grey half my house is grey but when it comes to baby clothes.. I like the colours lol

Had a proper somersault movement tonight! The strongest one yet. I didn't miss much about being pregnant but the kicking.

@Dinosauraddict wow I'd be kicking off days ago.

@Yvonne1988 I'm not big on conflict, but I do think this is beyond a joke now. Nearly cried at them earlier when they decided they couldn't get gynae in until tomorrow.
