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 ^^

@Victoriaaaaaaaa you'll be fine, xx

Victoriaaaaa

I think all this worrying is probably doing you more harm than the things you're worrying about! I know it's easier said than done but you will have a much easier 9 months if you try to enjoy it rather than panicking about everything. *

Just think to yourself how is what you are doing going to harm yourself or the baby?

My mum was out cleaning a gutter on a ladder two weeks before I was born!

Victoria, you really don't need to worry about a bit of anti bac! I work for a cleaning company and use the bleach sprays and stronger chemicals daily and they're fine (unless you're drinking them?!!)

I was doing so good with my anxiety too! I have loads of good days and then a bad day happens and you worry 24/7 lol thanks for your replies :)

I've got my first mw appointment on Tuesday can anyone tell me what to expect? 6w6d :)

@Victoriaaaaaaaa it's about an hour long, just questions about yours and partners family history and take bloods etc,

Is anyone else struggling to get comfy when they are sat down, it feels like everything inside is being pushed up if you know what I mean xx

Hey everyone! I am super new to this forum as only just had my BFP :-) I thought that I would say hello and ask fir friendly advice on week 4/5 cramps.. I have read this is normal... How were your early weeks and cramping? What should I expect girls? Thanks so much xx

I was cramping bad like I was getting my period and nothing came lol. Now the only cramps I get are when I've got wind 🙈 And they are really painful!

@KeepingItReal2017 early weeks saw extreme fatigue for me!! Bed by 7pm most nights and just total lethargy 😄

Oh yeh also some serious back ache...just like period was trying to come!

I'm not sure if I joined a previous thread or not... I'm currently 23 weeks. It's a boy! And so far everything's all good.

Today I've had a bit of a funny tummy though apparently it's normal but it's not fun.

Ememem oh the stomach situation is ridiculous isn't it!! I've been constipated for the past 10 weeks or so and now the past 3 days I just can't stop, I don't know whether I'm coming or going!! Although TMI it's lovely to get it all out 😂😂

Really need to sort my life out with the bra situation, my back is agony and I'm sure it's my boobs but the maternity bras are expensive and I'm only 22 weeks so don't want to have to keep buying one as I grow! Bought a cheaper support bra today but my nipples show and I hate that, do considering that and breast pads/toilet roll!

@TheLionQueen1 I put a top on the other day and I was like what's that thing sticking out? Was only my nipple coz my bra doesn't cover my boobs anymore 😂😂 I'm not complaining I was a b cup on a good day - deffo just gunna get some cheap support bras for now xx

I bought this from asos. It's advertised as sleep bra. But I wear it every single day. So comfy!

Thanks MrsJ that looks like what I need! How did you do the sizing, did you go with the bra size you normally buy or up a few?

Ew it would be a delight but I had a boob job around 8 years ago and am already a DD 😂 they could get silly!! If only I'd known then all I needed to do was get pregnant for the bigger boobs, I'd have saved a fortune!!

lion oh it's crazy. But I know what you mean about feeling "empty" 😂

My boobs have gone from a DD to an E cup. Sigh. I bought new bras the other day.

A friend swore by the ILoveSia nursing bras from Amazon. She wore them through pregnancy and then they were the only nursing bras she used. I ordered some but they didn't go big enough in sizing but they came with removable pads which would solve the nip problem and then could be replaced with breast pads for nursing.

Sorry forgot screenshot

Lion years ago I would've killed for a boob job, I'm only 26 but got a lot more confident in my body these last couple of years, helps when you have a lovely oh who tells you you don't need changing xx

Ah MrsJ they don't have my size
:( I'm going to try another type as I think it's that style I need, with the thicker straps!

Will check those out too Question thank you!

Hi ladies been away a few days just reading through catching up! My boobs have gotten huge I wear a crop top like a very soft stretchy sports bra to bed but during the day wear regular bras and they're killing me. Don't know whether to buy new bras or wait and see if they continue to grow! Also I'm already in maternity jeans but most stretchy tops still fit me. But none of my coats do up shouldn't be a problem as it's June but been quite cold the last few days! Anyone seen any nice maternity coats? Like a light jacket or even a hooded one?

This looks quite similar. Jojo maman Bebe have lots of good stuff by the looks actually

I'm going to pop to m&s tomorrow and if no luck then I'm going to order a few different ones online tomorrow. Frustrating as you order most by bra size but obviously with boobs getting bigger it's hard to know what size and I'm a nightmare with ordering stuff then not sending it back if doesn't fit and just wasting my money! Thanks for the advice!

Hi ladies I went to Debenhams to be fitted at 16 weeks as my own (wired balcony) bras were killing me - gone from a 32D to a 34FF but in soft non-wired bras now which are bliss in comparison. Two for £30 and the fitter reckons they should do me a while as they fit on the tightest hook with a bit of room in the cup...... Nothing sexy about them but comfort is all!

The fitter reckoned on average for maternity bras you will go up 2 band sizes and 4 cup sizes, if that helps any of you for sizing.
