Hi all!!

Sorry - haven’t been on here for ages!

@Curiosity101 aww a little boy, how lovely 🤗. You sound very prepared and on it! Well done.
Someone said your nursery is amazing- can’t see pics so will look back through. How are you feeling about everything and how far are you now?

@gems05
I’ve heard they can hide in the 20 week scan! Naughty thing hehe. How are you feeling?

@MashaPotato that is great news about ovulating- good luck and fingers are crossed for you.

@Hope91 sounds like you’ve had such a tough time. Know what you mean about being relieved you have an answer now and hopefully can do something to help. Keep us posted with what happens next.

@CookieMonster3001 and @Kayeyeem
We are due similar times i think. I’m due 3rd nov.

@Kayeyeem no I’m not on the facebook group but would be keen to join?! Finding it hard to connect to others on the “due oct/nov” mumsnet threads tbh.

Ah sorry to hear you are struggling with the heat and other bits- sure the sun will disappear soon anyway!

Update from me:

20 weeks today (hooray!). My scan is at 20 +6 so quite late. Looking forward to that and hoping everything all ok.
Have started to feel baby move last few days which has been lovely. Getting quite the bump which I’m paranoid is huge but looking at others online i think it’s just a big range of how you can be. I thought i’d be one to gain weight everywhere but so far just a big bump.
I’m struggling with hayfever badly. Usually i take the nose spray and eye drops but not allowed. Anyone else find anything safe that works? Doc prescribed me terrible nose drops which are those snuffle saline drops for babies- just goes down your throat and doesn’t help. They also prescribed me some kind if piritpn but when i googled it, there is not anything to say it is safe or not so i’ve got rid!
can’t complain in general though as all ok otherwise and English weather is bound to be back to rain soon!

Sorry if i’ve missed anyone- xx

@Curiosity101 actual baby brain- scrolled back and remembered of course i’ve seen your beautiful nursery! I even commented on it 🙈

@Hope91 so glad you've finally got an explanation for the endless cycles. Hoping you get positive news going forward

@NewbieB @CookieMonster3001 the 20wk scan took ages for me to get here - so glad you get to see your bean again... are you finding out what you're having??

I'm now 23 weeks +3 days
Just had my covid Pfizer 1st dose yesterday... very mixed emotions about it... but I have to consider myself to protect me in order to protect my bubs as I've got "high bmi" and they already think I'm at risk for pre eclampsia
Had a scan last week for uterine artery blood flow - they're happy that I'm getting good blood supply to bubs so the aspirin is doing its job 👍

I go back at 29 wks for the glucose tolerance test
Then at 32 weeks for a bubs growth scan, otherwise he's happily kicking/punching/elbowing his way in there 😁😁😁

We're not starting the nursery until we both finish our jobs end of July so we can concentrate changing the rooms, clearing out the top floor to make space for the DH's gaming den, organising all the clothes that are too small for both of us right now... 🤣
We did order the travel system and nursery furniture from M&P's last weekend which is due end of august

I still can't quite believe I'm having a baby 🤯
Especially when I have quiet moments of thinking "shit, am I going to be a good mum? This little bubs trying on me? Engaging enough for him when he grows to toddler/child stages?"

@Kayeyeem You look great but I can sympathise with feeling huge, especially in this weather! Fortunately it's cooled down now here and hopefully we'll get a few more days to chill.

@CookieMonster3001 Good to hear from you, 20 week scan today! Exciting! Thanks for the comments about the baby's room, I'm so pleased with it 🥰

@NewbieB I'm great thanks. Are you looking forward to your 20 week scan next week?

@gems05 Sounds like the doctors are keeping a good close eye on you 😅😄

Your feelings are very normal by the way. I still have feelings like that and this is baby #2.

I'm 27+6 today - 3rd trimester as of tomorrow 🙀 how did that happen? I also just got a promotion at work so I'll be coming back to me 'ideal' role at the end of my maternity leave. It all feels like such a dream at the moment 🙈😄

Hi everyone, I was on the original couple of threads (when it was called pre-conception planning) - I joined last summer in the early days before conceiving our son in October. I think there have been lots more BFPs since I last came on here, congrats!! We had our baby boy 3 weeks ago on 1st July and although it’s been a whirlwind we are so in love. Sending baby dust to those still trying! Xxx

@Lollipop87 Oh my gosh I remember you ☺️ Mumsnet didn't send a notification when you posted so I've only just seen this. Congratulations!

@NewbieB
@gems05

How are you all doing?

@Curiosity101 thank you! I tried to keep up with the threads while I was pregnant but it was a bit much while working full time, sorting baby stuff and being on a very active summer babies Facebook group! I thought of you ladies often though, and I did occasionally read the posts just never got round to replying or sending congrats! Who is pregnant now that I would remember? Congrats to you! When are you due?

Just scrolled up and seen @CookieMonster3001 is expecting, congrats lovely! I know you’d had a few disappointments when you first started TTC, I’m so happy for you!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 how are you doing? You started the original thread a year ago now! Xx

Omg hello lovely ladies!!! It’s been a while, I’ve just seen all the comments above, I came off MN for a while I found myself googling everything the first 12 weeks and needed to keep away 😂

Congratulations @Lollipop87 he is just so so beautiful! What’s his name? How are you? How’s motherhood?

@Curiosity101 how are you? When are you due, it’s soon isn’t it?

@CookieMonster3001 Hello!!!

I’m now 21+ 5 our little girl is due 13 December, it really did feel like this wasn’t ever going to happen, I’ve been busy buying everything for her. We sold our house and it al went through just before the stamp duty freeze and we’ve been living with MIL whilst our new build is being finished so we should be in the new house a good few months before babygirl is here.
And we got engaged!!! My fiancé (still feels saying that) proposed on my birthday in June this year. So a bit of wedding planning has been throwing into the mix!!

How is everyone!! Would love to hear from all of you xx

@Hope91 How are you? I just had to find your new username, hope you're well xx

I'm due 11th September. I'll be 35 weeks tomorrow. Had my first little boy at 33+2 so this is a weird and wonderful time being so much further on! ☺️

@sunflowersaremyfav93 I'm good thank you 😆 looking forward to our impending arrival.

Congratulations on the engagement 🥳 have you started thinking about dates?

@Lollipop87 congratulations- beautiful!

@Curiosity101 sorry didn’t reply to previous message- haven’t had notifications. The 20 week scan was brilliant. I’m now 27 + 2 and growing all the time and feeling lovely kicks. We are trying to finish renovating at least our bedroom before baby arrives- nursery won’t be ready but never mind. Wow not long for you now- how exciting!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 congrats on your engagement- how amazing!

Hi all! So nice to hear from you! @lollipop87 congratulations hes gorgeous! And thank you so much! 28 weeks today so not much longer to go! Had a 3d scan last week which was so amazing!
@sunflowersaremyfav93 congratulations on the house and getting engaged! Thats incredible! So many amazing things happening for you, I am soooo happy for you!
@Curiosity101 not much longer now lovely! Cant wait to see pics of your little bubba!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 thank you 😊 His name is Hugh (nickname Hughie), and it’s amazing but intense! It’s true what they say, that nothing can prepare you for becoming a mum for the first time. I never quite realised just how little sleep I would get in these first few few weeks, stock up on sleep as much as possible before they arrive is my advice! I’ve been up with him since 2am 😴 It is the best thing when you meet your baby for the first time, I’m kind of jealous of anyone who’s still got that to come! Congrats on your baby, house and engagement! What an amazing year you’re having!

Congrats to everyone with baby news, I’m so happy for all of you! Xxx

Sorry for the long time to reply... I'm just being pulled in every direction at the minute

I've made it to 32 wks today... full on gestational diabetes - pills and insulin pens - meaning likelihood of induction at 38 wks 😭

The nursery just needs the dresser/changing table being assembled then to sort out all the boxes of bits and bobs ready for him 👶💙

He's had me awake early hrs of the morning just having a disco / stretch / punching bag "in ma belly"
But all is good...

😁

Hi everyone - I've just spent a while reading through this thread. It's so nice to see the success of you guys and the support you give each other ❤️ I suffered a miscarriage at Christmas and have been TTC since February. Every month is disappointing despite trying to relax but I'm sure you guys know it's impossible to relax sometimes!
I wanted to ask about implementation bleeding. AF was due on the weekend (Saturday or Sunday depending on which app I check) and last night I started to have very light cramps - more like twinges. They've continued a bit today and I've had very very light bleeding which has been pinky mainly, or brown discharge. I've had the brown discharge before but it's quickly turned into full AF and cramps are usually much worse... So I after googling it's making me wonder (and hope) that it's implementation bleeding.
When would it be a good idea to do a pregnancy test do you think?
Sorry for long post - I just feel like I'm going a bit dolally 😅xx

@Aurora1304 hi!

I had this a few days before I was due on (i think Day 10 DPO?) and turned out it was implantation bleeding! Worth doing a test for sure. X

Hey thanks for messaging back 😊 ooooh fab thanks! I've just had slightly more bleeding but again it's light in colour and it's subsided again. What a mind game this all is!

I'll prob do a test tomorrow because I'll be driving myself crazy! Congratulations to you lovely 😊 xx

@Aurora1304 I had cramps at 6 DPO and then got my BFP at 9 DPO which was super early but I guess sometimes these babies can’t wait to burrow in! Fingers crossed for you lovely xx

@Lollipop87 i also had cramps like that. I remember taking a test at 9 DPO and imagining i could see a positive line in the light but then talked myself out of it (now i’m thinking it was a very faint line seeing as I tested positive next day).

@Aurora1304 let us know! Fingers crossed for you. I’ll be 30 weeks tomorrow 🤗

@Lollipop87@NewbieB thanks! I am not holding out much hope though - had a bit more bleeding this morning. Has anyone had that? It's stopped again again though so still playing with my mind haha!

I think I'm just going to admit defeat this month. I really though I might be pregnant as everything was different this time. I just feel so drained after these last few days and hoping - luckily have a weekend away booked with my OH so can relax xx

Hi ladies (Mackjm20- original name) changed a while back. I’m so sorry I have been absent since 16/06 I needed a little time out after the pcos diagnosis.

@Curiosity101 how are you doing?

@Kayeyeem glad to hear baby was wriggling around at your last scan must be reassuring even if the scan not quite so clear. How are you feeling? You look fab in the pic and beautiful scan :) not long now :)

@CookieMonster3001 did you decide whether to find out the gender? How are you feeling :)

@NewbieB did your hayfever settle how are
You feeling? Xx

@gems05 how are you feeling? Sorry to hear about the gestational diabetes. How are you doing now?

@Lollipop87 huge congratulations your baby boy is beautiful! So amazing to see from the very start peoples beautiful babies are being born :) such a lovely name as well I’m so happy for you!

@sunflowersaremyfav93 how are you doing? Huge congratulations on your engagement!

@Aurora1304 I am so sorry to hear about your previous miscarriage. I can completely understand about analysing the bleeding and wondering if implantation. Ttc is so confusing isn’t it! How are you doing now? Sorry to hear you are feeling really drained by it all always here if you need to chat!

Little update from me… cycle 12 I am 11dpo and I have the faintest bfp. I am trying to not get too excited but this is the first time I have seen a second line. I have only told dh so far but next thing I wanted to do was share it with you girls as you have been with me all journey. Not going to tell friends and family until 12 weeks. Thank you all for all of your support over the last year I can’t tell you how much it means x

@Hope91 hello my lovely! First of all, that is not a faint line, that is 100% a strong positive!! Congratulations!!! Im so happy for you and whilst its still early days im keeping everything crossed for you that it sticks!

Im doing well! Not long left now! I am due in 8 weeks. Didnt find out the gender so will find out soon enough!!! Been washing all the babys clothes today and now relaxing while lil babe is kicking around! Defo cant wait to meet my angel. Starting NCT classes soon and have been doing hypnobirthing which has been great!

Hope everyone else is doing well too! Xxx

@Hope91 omg congratulations!! That is a good BFP!

Hayfever settled for me last month thanks. I’m 32 weeks on wed and looking forward to baby arriving (and trying to finish renovating our upstairs before!).

Good luck with your pregnancy!
