Support, advice and hand holding from the grads.

Congrats snow to you. I do the magpie searching too! I'm always saluting a magpie and have even got dh doing it now. I also constantly touch wood for good luck as well. This long term ttcing makes you crazy!

Just popping in to say a huge congrats to my oldest Berry bud Bunny. Over the moon for you my lovely. So, there's a seat in the chopper now..........?
I do the magpie thing too! Saw 2 yesterday morning and 4 in the afternoon. Hoping that's a good sign!

massive congratulations Bunny! lovely, lovely news!

and boys are the best!!

Yes plenty of room in the chopper happy! Fx so much for you!

I look away for a moment and it's all go in here!!

Yay bunny!! Congratulations!!! I hope it all went well!

Welcome snow. Congrats to you too! Glad your early scan went well. Fingers crossed for a boring average pregnancy!!

In terms of weight, I've put on a stone at 24 weeks. I think that's ok. I was worried I wasn't putting enough on to start with, now I'm worried it's going on too quickly. Moral of the story, I'm never happy!! I am looking pregnant now though, which I love!!!

24 weeks is significant feather and RP. I think that's when the nhs deem the foetus 'viable'. If you were to give birth now, the little thing has a chance of surviving!! Although I'm hoping for a bit more cooking time!

Feather, I feel most of my movements quite low down, and have also had that sudden pressure in the bladder feeling! This last week they've been a bit higher up so think they've moved!

Merk, I want to join fb but I don't have an account. I might try and set one up and just connect to you guys...

win how many weeks are you now?!

Almost 25 Yorkie! 24w5d. Yikes!

Very exciting!

Hi Copter berries, afraid I'm a bit too busy with motherhood to keep up with this thread but from a quick scan of your messages all seem to be going well and we have a new passenger on board the copter which is fantastic news (welcome Snowlily!)

I just wanted to second Merk's encouragement to join the FB group - it is a great space to discuss all things pregnancy and baby related, and share lots of gorgeous photos of each others' babies. Just to tempt you, this morning we have two utterly adorable pictures of baby bunny...

Hi guys!

Yes baby boy bunny arrived the early hours of Tuesday morning, we are both quite battered and bruised but all worth it in the end.
Thanks for the Congrats x

Yep lady I have nearly ordered an ICSI pixie babygrow a few times, I will probably give in soon! They also do my dads a wanker which made me chuckle and I've also seen Made with love and a bit of science which is cute too!

How is everyone doing?

Welcome snow and congrats on 10w.

Once I felt safe I joined the FB gang and they are flipping fantastic! Great advice ranging from those with 1 year olds now down to little old me and the preggo ones. No question is too silly or too TMI for a wise old berry believe me! I recommend!

Congratulations bunny! I came in here to see if you'd had your baby and there you are! Well done you and welcome baby bunny

Scan all fine, they've moved me along to 13+4, not sure how that's possible but it means my official due date is now 12th April.

Woo hoo lady brilliant news! How do you feel?

I think the nausea has settled now. Scan was great, it was kicking and punching and rolling over, made it feel much more real! Slightly perturbed by the change in due date since looking at my chart, I can't see how I ovulated six days earlier so now I think a) I'll definitely be getting induced post dates like my mum/sister and b) maybe I'm already having a big baby! (DH was 10lb+, forceps and shoulder dystocia)

Try not to worry to much about size of baby -as long as you're measuring around gestation or ahead and not too much behind.

I shared your good news on the graduated FB thread and everyone is ridiculously excited for you!

Congrats lady
Don't worry about dates, the measurements aren't really too accurate as they're trying to measure something so tiny, through liquid,whilst it moves! Think of it as a due month; and you don't HAVE to be induced, I was all ready to refuse if I had needed to

I can recommend joining the FB group, Merk is the nub expert, apparently mine is a boy!

Congrats lady!! How exciting! So pleased for you. Don't worry about the dates. It's just a week. I've been given two different dates from two separate scans done on the same day! One private (5 February) and one nhs (27 January). Hoorah for you!

manic week back at work. Will check in properly soon. win glad I'm not the only one that's felt low kicks - wee'd myself a tiny bit at my desk today as she was using my bladder as a punching bag!

How did you get on today kitten? All okay I hope?

Hope it went OK, Kitten.

Just checking in for kitten update. Hope all is ok.

Hellooooo I'm here, sorry - been having a lush girly day with Mama Kitten as she traveled up from Essex to come to the scan with me today :)
ALL GOOD!! Hehe thank you for the concern, sorry I went awol there for a bit. Guess what lady? They bumped me up to 13+4 too so my EDD is now the 13th April! Hopefully it's a lucky 13, eek. Lots of wiggles and wriggles from Squiggle, good strong heartbeat etc. Had my nuchal fold check and bloods today too and flu jab for good measure.
I finally feel confident enough to FB up, y'all!!

That's great Kitten! Hope your mum's OK after her big op, didn't she guess you were pregnant before you knew?

Oooh no must be another granny, mine's not been under the knife of late.
I'm so so so glad she was able to come up - I know she feels sad sometimes that she's so far away, so I'm really chuffed she could be involved today :) then we had lunch at a lovely tea room in town, and went shopping for maternity jeans as mine are getting tight now. Eek!! Lovely girly day :)

Sorry kitten, I wonder who that was then? At the moment my trousers and one pair of jeans are still fitting OK but I did order some maternity ones online from new look, they are so comfy but I need to grow into them! I wear scrubs all day at work so at least workwear isn't a problem!
