Hello and congratulations, lovely lot.

It's been a bumpy road so DP and I aren't telling anyone until late September. But I need to talk to someone!!!

How are you?

Aww congratulations @J09x

@Staryflight445

I am dreading all the vaccines.
I don't know whether to bundle them together or spread them out.
Flu
Covid
Whooping cough

Hope u feel better soon.
Keep reminding urself its for baby, they will even be born with some immunity.

Already had both COVID ones. Had my second at 8 weeks.

Always have had my flu jab during pregnancy, whooping cough isn’t recommended until around 28 weeks, it’ll be too late then really for flu jab.

It’s definitely worth getting them ASAP @Ladder789

I'm on 150mg aspirin every day too. I had both my covid vaccines before falling pregnant, just coincidence it wasn't planned that way. Had the flu jab while I was at my 12 wk scan as they were giving them out and I thought it was best to get it over with. Felt absolutely fine afterwards.

I'll be having my flu jab at 16 week appointment and whooping cough after my week 20 scan - that was the suggested profile in my blue book.

Does anyone have the bbhugme pillow? I’m wondering if it’s worth the splurge ?

I take a 150mg dose of Aspirin every night, due to my mum having pre-eclampsia. I have no other reason to take it though.
I had my flu jab on Friday, had a fever and sore arm for the night that’s it.
Will be having the whooping cough vaccine after 20 wks.
Unsure about covid.

@J09x ah congrats! 💙

@J09x congrats! 💙 I cannot wait to find out what I’m having xx

Thank you @Sabristhebest @Staryflight445
@FinnsMammy are you going to find out?🥰

Yes @J09x but I want to know everything is ok first at the anatomy scan

@J09x yes but similar to @Staryflight445 I’ll find out at the anomaly scan at the end of November x

Ooh when is yours @FinnsMammy? Mine is the 29th I think

@Staryflight445 that's only 5 days after mine!🥰 mines the 24th November.
I have my second antenatal appointment this Thursday too. It seems like it's all going so fast.
I don't feel like im showing at all yet though

@Staryflight445 nov 27th I’ll be 20+6 🙏 going privately as my hospital only provide me with a 12 week and 32 week scan 🙈 I’m nervous already thinking about it I just want the anatomy scan done.

@FinnsMammy snap! Mine is on the 27th too💙💓
Although I feel as if time is dragging, very tempted to do an early gender scan.

@J09x
Mine is the 24th too.
Can't wait.
If the scan is all good I think we will go a gender reveal so I will just ask the Ob to write the genders on a piece of paper and put it in sealed envelope

Awww @Ladder789 when are you due?
I was way too excited to wait to find out. I had to book a private scan to know. And for my own piece of mind to make sure he was healthy💙

@J09x
Due April 29th.
I am nervous this week as my belly seems to be reducing at times!
Mornings are the worst, bump is so small
But i came off all my ivf meds so maybe thats it.

I cannott wait until the 24th!

Mines not until December when I'll be 20 weeks. Due 27th April (has moved forward 3 times but this was the EDD given at my 1st trimester scan). Though it's only 5 weeks away I'm so excited/anxious.

Seeing everyone else's scans and good news is keeping me going though.

Anyone else having days where they are moody AF? I can’t remember having days like this when pregnant with my son...I know it’s just the hormones... but I thought second trimester was supposed to be free from this sh*t!

@FinnsMammy 100% yes. I have wanted to smother my DP with a pillow for breathing at times. He can't do enough for me but at times I just seem to feel incredibly stroppy and fed up for no obvious reason. I know I'm also being a pain about tidying at home, but nobody understands! I need order and cleanliness, not his socks on the damn floor!

I've not had any mood changes at all I'm quite surprised and lucky I guess 😂. I find my bumb changes in size most of the time I think its due to bloating though because I feel more pregnant than fat most days

I mean I feel more fat than pregnant. 🤦🏼‍♀️

@BooSaidTheGhost I know I’m the same. Hubbie running around on eggshells from me lol I defo was not like this with my first at least i didn’t think I was. I’m moody for no reason it’s not all the time as my 2 year old can quickly snap me out of it but it’s just annoying as I’m usually an upbeat person and I can’t pin point the reason I am peed off these past few days. Yesterday I snapped at my sister and my mum as they stormed in the door chatting loudly and woke my son from his nap knowing he was napping there but they just forgot but my illogical brain couldn’t see why they would forget 🙈 🙈. Then I felt bad all yesterday evening about snapping at them and just felt worse it’s a viscous cycle 🙈 f@cking hormones
