Hello girls. I had my 20 wk scan today (at 19+3)! Everything perfect - heart, skull, femural bone, blah blah. The sonographer said, 'Right, let's zoom in on the mouth to check for cleft lip' and as soon as she said that the baby covered its mouth with its hands! We were laughing our heads off. We declined to know the sex (although she would've struggled as baby had its gorgeous little ankles crossed). She made me go to the toilet to empty my bladder as baby simply would not cooperate for measurements, so whilst I was in there I did thirty star jumps. When I got back baby had moved entirely. I have an anterior placenta which is completely obscuring any fetal movements. She said it 'could be weeks yet' until I feel owt.
Beetle, you have a good memory; th'usband wasn't overly keen on Queenie...which is why we've decided on Nancy! Still Walter for a boy and I'm very, very happy with our choices. I'm so excited to be pregnant and I'm thrilled your little cuties are perfect.
Marbie, I was chuffed to bits to read on t'other thread about what you ate today. It means a lot, doesn't it, after all you've suffered and been unable to eat. Don't worry about your baby's measurements; s/he has had all s/he needs all this time.
Yes, Motor, they've tried that bullshit about induction at 40/41 weeks with me, too. It is in massive letters on my file (written by me) that I will not be agreeing to an unnecessary induction. It is preposterous to say we are at risk of still birth because of our ages. I will not have it
Wim, my bump this week is massive. I have put exactly a stone on thus far and it is all bump and tits (I am now, much to my chagrin, a G-cup 
)
Being pregnant is absolutely everything I thought it would be. I'm in no way smug when I'm out-and-about but I am so proud of my lovely bump and so, so grateful for this miracle.
