First Time Pregnancy (3)

[QuestionARhino]

Oops time for a new thread. Hope you all find it okay

@lydiangel83 I'm nearly 26 weeks, it was probably 20ish weeks when it improved because I remember I first felt baby move at 18 weeks and I was sleeping in the spare room because I was so fidgety and frustrated that night so it was after 18 weeks!

@Bubbasmama2017 ^^

I haven't seen ours 4D, lovely little lasagne babies, if not a little creepy 😂

Crisp Lasagne 😂😂😂😂

@Bubbasmama2017 I haven't felt baby yet at all really.

Nor have l....

I'm also 18+2 and not felt baby move yet. Hoping it's soon but I know it could be a few weeks yet. My 20-week scan is two weeks today, already getting a bit anxious. My 16-week 4D scan wasn't too creepy, she didn't look like a prawn anyway 😄

I was really freaking out about it but after I spoke to the midwife I've been a lot better. 20 week scan in 12 days! Getting nervous about that instead!

I started to feel light taps around 19 weeks. They are so subtle. Feeling them a bit more now at almost 21 weeks but they're still so light and hard to notice. You're sure to feel them soon

@Bubbasmama2017 yes midwife wouldn't discuss it as she said she couldn't explain what %s meant and if everything was considered normal by sonographer then there was nothing she could refer me for. She said private scan was only way to get reassurance :-/

what's your favourite bottled water to drink at the moment?

Strawberry volvic for me. The full sugar one of course. Ice cold.

Bubba I had small movements on and off in the early days then it went quiet. I was getting really worried as there's been a few mums on one of my twin pages that have unfortunately suffered losses but I'm please to say they both found their feet last week at 23+2 they started kicking and have done for the last 7 days. Be patience it'll come xx

I'm loving juicy fizzy drinks like Fanta and orangina. Wouldn't normally touch it as so sugary but loving it now!

@lydiangel83 so did they tell you it was fine but with inconsistencies? I'm really worried they'll over look something...

@mrsjkerry they just said it was fine and nothing else. Really poor comms in my opinion.

So how did you know there might be something off??

Looked at the report and %s were really low. I'm no health professional but I've done a fair amount of statistics in my time and bottom 10th percentile for growth didn't seem good. When I got through to someone who would talk to me they said it wasn't great but still in Normal range.

So we are probably over reacting but just want peace of mind.

is your scan tomorrow @lydiangel83? I've been worried about a lot of things and my friends think I'm crazy (already had 2 extra private scans 1 at 7 weeks and 1 at 15, and will probably have another couple after the 20 week scan).
I always think its better to check for your own peace of mind but I'm sure the sonographer would have notified you if there was something they weren't OK with.

does anyone know how this works?

company shuts down for christmas so have to save 5 holidays to get paid over christmas. If i got on MAT before then will i have 5 holiday spare that i can book off and take before MAT?

Yes victoria. I've taken my Xmas annual leave back

Ooo I have the same so interested to hear if anyone has the answer, as I'm due Christmas Eve so could be very relevant!

Yes @Victoriaaaaaaaa I'm planning to start annual leave at 35 weeks as my job is so heavy but booked annual leave off before this xx

@Bubbasmama2017 yes scan tomorrow and paying for peace of mind basically, have been quite calm up until now but just want to make sure all ok and think it's worth paying for that x

Hi everyone nice to meet you all!

I'm just over 5 weeks. Have a GP appointment tomorrow due to the longs list of meds I take...

First time after having a MC in march this year. Very anxious and debating booking an early scan

Girls for the past 2 days my left arm has felt numb, like a dull pain, like someone has give me a dead arm, I can't cope with it anymore, darent google anything xx
