My LO has been kicking and moving around for about 3 weeks now but please dont worry if you havent felt any movements yet its still early
egyptianprincess, i`m due on the 9th aswell same as VS.

Denny185 · 21/11/2007 18:37

Welcome egyptianprincess. youve just reminded me of the horrendous migraines I used to get towards end of pregnancy with DD (didnt get them with DS) they took ages to settle after hope they dont rear their ugly head again.

Good luck everyone with your scans tomorrow its going to be a busy day.

Ive started feeling some movement at last, nothing major just a bit of tapping kind of at the front of my pelvic floor, yeah.

Piccalilli2 · 21/11/2007 18:38

I count 4 of us being scanned tomorrow mummyofaprincess - you, me, scorpio and themaskedposter. Anyone I've missed??

I've had awful headaches too egyptianprincess - only migraines occasionally but headaches constantly for the last 8 weeks - they are, thankfully, just starting to ease now(I'm 20 wks)

mummyofaprincess · 21/11/2007 18:46

thankyou piccalilli2 Goodluck everyone who has scans tomorrow!
Has anyone else had leaking breasts yet? I woke up this morning and mine had leaked a little in the night i was a bit can`t remember leaking this early on last time!

scorpio1 · 21/11/2007 18:53

Hello egyptianprincess!

Apparently if they manage to land a kick directly on your cervix it hurts (never happened to me, but a couple of people I knew had the occasional cervical kick) but other than that, no.

So which of you being scanned tomorrow are finding out the sex and which are preserving an air of mystery ? Apart from TLSM who has already peeked...

gemprincess · 21/11/2007 20:26

Im having another scan tomorrow to check all ok.. Had reassurance scan nealy 2 weeks ago and that showed i was having a boy.. Mine is at 1.00pm.. Trying not to be nervous.Goodluck ladies...

Fleecy · 21/11/2007 20:35

Hi everyone, I've been catching up on all your posts over the last few weeks but haven't posted myself as I had some bleeding on and off for a while and I've been quite paranoid.

However, had 20 wk scan today and the baby looks healthy so I'm going to post again.

Lemonaid - is it you that has the spreadsheet to update the details? Would you be kind enough to do mine? I'm due 7 April, I'm 30 and this is my 2nd baby - DD is 14 months.

Oooh, good luck to all of you with scans tomorrow. Wish I could have found out what we're having but DH really didn't want to.

Humphries · 21/11/2007 20:49

Hi Guys

Can I join your gang?

I am due on the 9th April and we didn't find out at our scan, last Thursday, what we are having thought it would be nice surprise.

Fleecy, I had a scare with heavy bleeding at 16.5 weeks and my scan was normal and everything is great with baby. We are slowly feeling more relaxed although DH would still wrap me in cottonwool and put me in a cupboard unitl April if he had his way!!!

I haven't posted for ages and ages, but I had my 20 week scan this afternoon and it's a boy! I've got another scan in 4 weeks to check on the baby's heart, because I'm diabetic there's more risk that he will have birth defect/s. Fingers crossed everything will be fine! Apparently heart defects don't show up until 24 weeks so at least today's scan was perfect! Saw the bottoms of his tiny feet and his tiny boy bits!

Now we're having the great name debate, I have fallen in love with Oscar, but DH won't have any of it. So the shoetlist so far is Freddie, Bertie or George.

It's so exciting that we're all around half way through now!

egyptianprincess · 22/11/2007 10:04

good luck scorpio1. So exciting to be able to see your baby again.

northeastmummy · 22/11/2007 11:09

Hi everyone - I'm completely new on here, I haven't even been lurking. One of my friends just pointed me in the direction of these boards and I'd love to join you if that's ok!

I've tried to read back a bit to catch up but I've missed loads . There's still a way to go though so I'm sure I'll get to know who you all are in no time.

I'm due on 19th April and this is my second baby. My DD is 16 months old. We found out gender with DD and hope to do the same with LO but have to go for a private scan as they won't tell us gender in Aberdeen. My 20 week scan is on 6th December.

Sheds75 · 22/11/2007 11:15

good luck with all the scans today

I'm soooo tired today I've had to indulge in a galaxy hazelnut (figured the nuts were good for me)

Sheds75 · 22/11/2007 11:18

Hi northeastmummy and welcome

Soph73 · 22/11/2007 11:30

Wow it´s been busy since yesterday. Welcome to all the newbies Woke up with a stonker of a headache this morning. Can´t wait to hear back from all of you having scans so of you all. My turn next week Have got proper shoes on today

northeastmummy · 22/11/2007 11:32

Thanks Sheds75! Up until now I've been using another popular board - but this one seems to be a much better pace. I work full time and although I get the odd day that I can spend time doing stuff like this, sometimes I have a run when I can't get on. The other board I've been using has SO many postings that I just can't keep up.

It sounds like I've chosen an exciting day to join - lots of scan news pending.

VictorianSqualor · 22/11/2007 11:48

Oh, poo, I was hoping there would've been a flurry of sexes on here already, but I forgot the scans weren't til 11ish.

Welcome Northeastmummy [mile]

Soph73 · 22/11/2007 11:52

northeastmummy - does...not...compute ... another popular board, surely not Where in the north east are you from if you don´t mind me asking? DH is from Northumberland, nice area

northeastmummy · 22/11/2007 12:54

Ha ha ... I have to say that already I'm enjoying this much more!

Sadly I'm much more NE than most of you - I had a quick scan down the list but don't think there's anyone nearby. I'm in the frozen north - Aberdeen!!!
