Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Part 9

[HopefullyDothButterNoParsnips]

Through the ups and downs of this amazing journey - we are all here together. I'm grateful for you all ❤️❤️

Congrats biker - what a lovely scan pic! So pleased for you, it must have been terrifying and then exciting so what a rollercoaster you have been on.

Springer sorry you are having a bad day

buzz sounds like taking a day off was totally necessary if your feeling that rubbish. Just keep your feet up and rest.

Good luck for testing soon hoping!

Eek confused we've had our first group kick! Well done little Noah!

Sorry will catch up properly after my dinner #hankmarvin

Do you think so jupiter? OVIA tells me to test on the 26th but AF is due on the 29th so trying to hold out until then x

Lovely scan picture biker

Feeling rather sick again this evening. Every time I get a bit hungry I get the nausea

Thank you everyone 😊 We are mega chuffed and relieved but of course now feel the stakes are higher too! Theoretically risk drops now so I'm trying to hold on to that.

@HeyJupiter Yes, the legs cracked us up! LB wouldn't stop dancing them whilst at the same time also lounging around flat on his back and giving the sonographer a hard time with the NT! I do think their dates are off as my LMP puts me at 12+2 and I don't think I can really have gained 2 days! Still, I shall keep an eye on the Nov thread too and follow all your journeys with interest 😄

@Springersprung I'm so sorry hon 😘 I know what you mean. The same day I had the scan when I found out about my previous MMC, another friend had her 12 week scan and posted her bouncing photo all over FB. I felt like my world had fallen apart whilst everyone else's just moved on. Thank you for finding the strength to still be happy for us 😘 I hope it gets easier soon x

Hope everything is okayhb thinking of you ❤️

Evening all! Well I made it everyone seems very nice but it's gonna take me some time to learn but I'll get there! Not sure how to bring up maternity leave, anyway will get through this week and then worry about that! Thanks for all the good wishes!
grumpy how utterly rude and insensitive, I would be very unimpressed, and you are not old, it's not your fault or anything to do with anything! Sorry that happened to u x
parsnips glad u made it back alive!
biker what a gorgeous scan pic, many congratulations!
hb hope all went OK love xx
confused Ahh exciting, I'm convinced I can feel something happening too but still early and it's so slight it's hard to tell!
buzz I felt exactly the same as that, it's just like all your energy and caring about the world is dissappeared, it does pass hang in there!
natur ring shopping how exciting!!
springer glad your head is supportive, it takes and time and you're right to stay home and take each day at a time, hugs xx
jb enjoy dinner!!!

Biker i'm so glad your scan went ok!

Sorry about the nausea Mummy can you sneak stuff into work to eat so you don't get too hungry?

I know JB it's so exciting! Deffo feeling a lot more pregnant now with a bump (still look fat but it's just solid) and feeling movements!

I hope HB is ok ❤️

confused so excited that Noah is moving around!! I want to see your bump! Don't think I've got anything yet, just look bloated!

I am having a bit of a wobble tonight. I miss my little baby bean, I'm sobbing in the kitchen. I still can't believe it really.

Here I am at 12 weeks...didn't show til closer to 20 with my first. Not this time. Mostly bloating for sure!

Have discovered that Silicea sort of works for morning sickness (mine getting much worse)...anyone else tried it?

Haven't said hello to the newbies yet - welcome! This is a lovely crowd, sharing the ups and the downs of this journey.

Lovely scan biker!

Grumpy and parsnips - how are you both this evening?

grumpy I'm so sorry :( you cry all you need to ❤️ have you gone back to work?

Let the tears come Grumpy.

Haha ok Buzz here is my bump please just ignore the state of my unmade bed clothing tags on the floor... not massive but considering I was a size 10 with a little pouch tummy (not sure if you remember my wedding picture) its pretty impressive! Lol

I'm so sorry Grumpy! Is there anything we can do to make you feel better? ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oh grumpy, I wish we could make this better for you. You poor thing. I can’t imagine what you’re feeling. Please let it all out here if you can/want to. You’re so brave.

Oh hoping the 2ww is such a drag. Will wish the week away for you :)

mummy sorry that nausea is getting you. It’s a weird feeling of being insanely hungry but also really sick isn’t it. Think I saw someone on here describe it has having two stomachs wanting different things. Hope you’ve had something to eat and it’s settled now.

biker ohh that’s so very cute. BabyJupes was all arm waving. So adorable. They could’t get a NT measurement at our scan as baby refused to lie in right position. Having the quadruple blood test next week which I’m a bit anxious about but fingers crossed all is well. Hope your combined test comes back all okay soon.

MrsC so pleased everyone seemed lovely. It always takes a good few months to really feel like you ‘get’ a job doesn’t it. Roll on tomorrow :) Hope you’re feeling less nervous now.

Hb all okay lovely?

Hope the scan went ok Hb
Congratulations biker what a cute little one in the making!!!

Glad today went ok MrsC
buzz get well soon my love xxx must just of all caught up with you. Take it easy my love.

I've felt so stressed today. My head teacher this morning didn't take my leaving on short notice very well so it's looking like I may have to move that school to a Friday and loose my working from home day for next half term at least 😢 just when I though things were going to get less busy!! Then the kids were a pain in the arse this afternoon and I nearly crashed the car so everything was just getting too much!!
Luckily my DH has been off today and sorted the garden and made me a beautiful dinner so he's cheered me right up!

Pleeeeaaaaase can we have some bump pics?!?!

Wow confused you have such a good bump!! I wasn't expecting it to look like a proper preggo bump when you said you just look fat, you don't at all! Slim and a lil bump! Eep! wilde yours looks so cute too!!

Such beautiful bumps confused and Wilde - you're both so slim and lovely. You must be very proud to walk around with them. I'm definitely getting a bump but will keep that under wraps for now

seven sorry you've had such a rubbish day really glad DH is looking after you so well. Everything will sort itself out with work soon xx

Oh God sorry I missed those! Yay they're so cute!!

Grumpy I'm so sorry lovely xxxx

Thanks for the lovely comments ladies... i havn't taken a bump picture until now and actually I can't believe it's me looking at it 😳

I think it's so hard not to feel like your getting fat so you just see a podgey little belly rather than what I now see is a defined little bump!

Wilde yours is so little and cute!

I want to see more Bump pics too lol

Grumpy I've just been sobbing in the kitchen too. It's so, so unfair. I hate this, I hate feeling like this. 😢

I've got a bump already too....unfortunately it's just my dinner 😂

Oh grumpy big hugs to you lady, cry all you need

Check out your bumps confused and Natur - I can't wait for a bump. Got a long way to go yet!

Sorry you've had a stressful day seven,
Tomorrow can only be better!

Glad your first day went ok mrsC.

Hope everything went ok today Hb?

dancing so sorry lovely that your upset.
