20 weeks today

keepitgoing · 19/05/2016 08:52

And the latest worry is chicken pox at kip's nursery so she has been exposed. My parents aren't sure if I had it... Have texted mw to see if they can check my immunity

loopy any more sticks?

BeedlesPineNeedles · 19/05/2016 09:15

is that you wearing one of the wrap tops keep? Its a Lovely colour, and a Lovely bump too!

I hope kip doesn't get it or bring it home to you.

Imps9 · 19/05/2016 09:17

Gorgeous bump and top Keep. Agree that the colour is fab.

Here's mine - I'm sucking in my stomach as far as it will go to remove the Bloat Factor (which is still there, but not as bad as it was). 17+2 today...

Yes it's me!
Ooh imps what a lovely bump!

I'm with you on the weight gain BTW imps, still only 2.5kg put on...

Imps9 · 19/05/2016 09:23

I've put 400g on since 13 weeks (scan day) and about 1.8kg in total. Don't understand how/why.

That kind of came out wrong, I knew it was you, I just wondering if that was the jojo top :o

and a Lovely bump from you too imps

I've been onto the jojo site they want £13.50 to deliver to me - I Think I'll order it to my parents house (luckily I still have some bank stuff registered to that address)

keepitgoing · 19/05/2016 09:40

Yes their outlet section can be good. Ooh there's none left in this colour though but others look nice too

I'm surprised you've put on anything with the vomming imps but agree it's weird... Sure we are in the realms of normal...

cartoontrickster · 19/05/2016 10:05

Those lines are looking good loopy Brookings hard for you. Remember you will not have jinxed anything. You are doing all you can.
Love those tops keep would it be completely mad for me to order one when I'm only 7wks?? Obviously not to wear yet but seems a shame to miss a bargain!
Lovely bumps imps and keep where's yours beedle?

BeedlesPineNeedles · 19/05/2016 10:25

I ordered a top in grape, and have sent it to my parents address!

Does anyone know if Asos mat jeans are any good? I'm a bit worried they will be ridiculously long, as they show them on a model that is 5ft10, but it seems to be the same model (in the same outfit!) modelling the Long version. So I'm not sure, I have free returns so its not a disaster if I have to send them back. I've got a 10% off that I need to use this evening so I might just order a load of stuff and see what I like!

Will also try again with a bump shot this evening :o

Loopyaboutmy2boys · 19/05/2016 11:50

Here is today's line imps. Little wider and tiny bit darker than yesterday's, but not a massive difference still. Not done a cheapie today, thought would give it a couple of days then use one again (if it's not all over by then)

We are jolly well going to get and stay diffed this month and we are BROOKING NO ARGUMENT.
Loopyaboutmy2boys · 19/05/2016 11:56

(And that should say to Keep too as it was actually you who asked re today's testing lol)

cartoontrickster · 19/05/2016 12:10

loopy I'm not sure how much difference there 'should' be from one day to the next so I would 've thought that a little darker is excellent news! I really hope this works out for you.
beedle not sure on the asos stuff. I think order a load to try at home is your best bet.
I liked my h&m over bump jeans but wore mostly dresses, my skin became so itchy and sensitive especially my legs so for a while I could nt bear to have anything on them.
I've decided that ordering a maternity top or not isn't going to have any effect on whether or not this bean makes it. I'm doing doing all I can but essentially it's out of my hands . So I'm getting one! After after all I'm diffed and plan to stay that way for the rest of the year at least Wink

keepitgoing · 19/05/2016 12:23

Good on you trix!! That's the brooking attitude

Also fretting over our upcoming trip to Spain, and zika. Wwyd...? Ffs I just wanna relax!

Not used asks beedle but my guess is they only have tall models so have to use them for everything!

Pastamancer · 19/05/2016 12:29

Don't worry about weight gain. I lose weight while pregnant and the midwives have never been concerned about it

BeedlesPineNeedles · 19/05/2016 13:00

excellent PMA trix I bought some maternity pj trousers at about 6 weeks as I was ordering some more bras from M&S and the pyjamas were only something like £4.50 in the sale!

loopy getting darker is good, even if its not as dark as you would like it to be.

keep I don't Think there are actually any cases of zika in Spain yet, just that it could be possible in parts of Europe that have the right type of mosquito I Think we'll stay in Sweden/England this summer though

cartoontrickster · 19/05/2016 13:25

Agree with pasta. Weight gain or not is so different for everyone. Bumps come in all shapes and sizes. My mum only gained like half a stone with me where as I gained like 3 with N!

ControlGeek · 19/05/2016 13:51

Lovely line again loopy, I'd say that's a lot clearer. I found this time round the FRERs took their time compared to previous cycles so they've definitely changed at some point. ICs take forever to change.

Keep that's such a pretty top, and your bump looks so neat!

Oh Imps you're really popping out now! I wouldn't worry about not putting any weight on, you've been so sick and barry-baxter will be making sure his nutritional needs are put first.

I've bought some mat tops and dresses off ebay to try and hide my bloat. Even with a floaty dress I'm not sure it's working though Confused If I get time tonight I'll try and post a bloaty.

Want to hear how my paranoia is plumbing new depths? After getting a lovely heartbeat on the doppler last night, I panicked wondering if there was anything else in my body, about an inch above my down-south hairline, that could sound like a heartbeat and give a reading of 160-170bpm. Honestly, even I have to wonder about myself sometimes.

Oh, and when binmen laugh at you because you've got your head in a plastic bag, would it have been really rude to have wound my window down and given them the bag when I'd finished? Grin

BeedlesPineNeedles · 19/05/2016 14:10

geek :o are you worried you may have a little Alien onboard as well as geekling that no-one has noticed on the scans? I don't Think you would have been rude to hand them your bag of vomit :o

BeedlesPineNeedles · 19/05/2016 16:58

Finally a bumpy from me, I've jyst found that I can crop photos on my phone so I don't need to worry about my face being visible - doh

ControlGeek · 19/05/2016 18:09

Yay for fab bumpie beedle!!!

It's actually worse than a fear of aliens - I was worried in case I had picked up two alternating pulses from my own veins/arteries that just sounded like a single double-fast heartbeat... then I realised hang on, I've only got one heart so all my pulses should be at the same time... yes, this from the girl who got an A in A-Level Biology Sad

Bloaty attached - I've sucked in as much as I can but have to admit I don't tend to bother at work, which is possibly why I had someone guess my news correctly today. She was very tactful about it though :)

BeedlesPineNeedles · 19/05/2016 18:32

Unless you're an alien with 2 hearts :o

Fab picture, I managed to avoid wearing tight tops for quite a while (unless I had a cardigan over the top), but even now lots of people know, no-one who doesn't has actually asked me!

My jojo top has been dispatched already!

ControlGeek · 19/05/2016 18:43

holy crap on a cracker, work don't ever see the sucked in version, just this

ControlGeek · 19/05/2016 18:46

Hahaha I love that theory beedle!!! Work never see me in tight tops, I'm wearing the loosest, most floaty clothes I can find these days. I changed for the pics so you could see my shape. I am very much not impressed with picture number 2, I really must work on my posture :(

BeedlesPineNeedles · 19/05/2016 19:08

Oh I changed too! I recommend open cardigans over the loose tops, so you don't get the view from the side.
