First Time Pregnancy (5)

[mrsjkerry]

Hey everyone. Had to make a new thread as we were nearing 1000!

Hi @ew1990 I'm ok thanks. Hanging in there, everything hurts 😭😂 my body is well adjusted to getting up all night as I'm constantly peeing and tossing and turning and basically can't sleep.
In my last midwife apt she said my bump was measuring a little small. I was 31 weeks and measuring 29cm and it's meant to be 1cm per week. I've got another apt on Tuesday now and I'll be 33 weeks so I hope I've grown. I feel like I've popped again over Christmas (I've eaten a lot lol) so fingers crossed.
How is everyone else? Hope all the new mamas have had a lush first Christmas 😍xx

Misty I think them bump measurements are really inaccurate. I had growth scans and they said she was 6lb so they induced me a week early and she was 6lb7 which I think was good considering my frame, she's 8 week today and measuring 10lb1

Thank you so much for asking @ew1990. We had a private scan at 10+4 today as I couldn't wait until 12 weeks. Thankfully all was ok, although my anxiety levels were through the roof. I was crying on the way in the car!

Hi all :)
I went back to midwife and the one I saw this time practically rolled her eyes at my last measurement saying that I have a long torso and it's my first baby which means my bump is a little stretched out, not small! Although I'm measuring back above the line now which was still a relief.
I've been nesting like mad 😂 not getting the urge to do dishes and clean the kitchen or bleach anything unfortunately 😂😂 but I cannot leave a single of item of clothing in the basket. If it comes off, it gets washed. My house is reeking of fairy non bio and every radiator is full 🙈 I seem to lose the urge to hang it all up and put it away though lol. My living room is looking cute 😍 I'm almost ready now I'd say! Just a few more bits for me like pants and pads and bits for hospital and I've got my baby shower on the 20th which I'm sure will stock me up on blankets and muslins outfits and bibs! Can't quite believe it 💗💗💗 I'm so grateful.
Hope all your babes are thriving!!
And glad everything is going good for you @Flatwhite32 this is your time sweetie xxx

My living room! Slowly stocking up 😍

Misty it looks lovely, how long left now?

Also not heard from @Victoriaaaaaaaa for a while

Little izzy is doing good apart from the fighting sleep 🙄🙄 she's 9 week old tomorrow

Omg @ew1990 she's lush 😍😍😍 hubs and I have just gone through about 100000 names and we don't agree on one 😂🙈
I've got 5 weeks 2 days left. Hubs thinks I'm going to go early but he has no evidence to back this up other than a hunch. I think just coz looking around our living room looks like she's already here, I think it's making him feel like she could arrive tomorrow 😂
Hope she doesn't! Haven't even packed my hospital bag yet lol x

I packed mine at about 30 weeks,

You could go early, I was 2cm dilated at 38 weeks and I had a sweep then too but they booked me in for induction on a Wednesday when I was 38+ 4 but didn't get taken down to labour ward till early hours Friday morning and she was born at 8:59 that morning at 38+6

She's just started chuckling now too it's too cute! (Not when she thinks it's playtime like she does now cooing away when she's meant to be asleep)

A name might just click as soon as you see your baby

Hi guys just wondered if anyone can help. I have done a few test says positive also 2 digital ones say pregnant and pregnant 1-2 weeks. I am 3 days now over my period and the cheap pound shop tests and only giving me a faint line. Is this normal as getting worried as reading about hcg levels and miscarriage and i have had one a few years ago. My boobs are tender and i am either feeling or being sick. Is this normal ? Thank you guys x

Ahhh @ew1990 she is gorgeous! Here's our little monkey this week, also giggles a bit and smiles that melt my heart and almost make up for the lack of sleep and long crying episodes!!

@ew1990 been quiet lol! Due on 18/01 but getting induced on Monday eek

waves First timer here!

Aww @lydiangel83 look at that smile!

@Victoriaaaaaaaa you'll do great!

@Heidy88 that sounds normal chick. Clearblue is usually pretty reliable. The cheapy sticks may not be as sensitive as some other tests but generally a line is a line, if it's there at all, you're pregnant, congratulations 🌸 I too had a mc. And it was nothing to do with the darkness of the lines so try not to worry about any of that just yet although I know that's easier said than done. Good luck 😉 x

@lydiangel83 oh wow look at her 😍

I'm literally obsessing now lol. I'm gonna be 35 weeks tomoz so better start packing my bag lol. I can't stop nesting though, I keep changing my entire living room around then changing my mind 😍🙈x

I never got the nesting instinct. Kinda wish I had coz now I don't have time to do anything!

I did clear blue sunday said 1-2 weeks and one just says the same so still pregnant but maybe im not as far as thought as was ovulation 14-19 dec so may not got caught till later fingers crossed im going doctors tomorrow so may know more just worried sick as lost one before. I have just been sick agen and no bleeding at all x

Love the living room @MistyBxx

Get yourself more nappies!!!!

@Victoriaaaaaaaa how did induction go? X

@ew1990 little Olivia was born at 5.48pm last night 😍

Wow what a cutie!! Well done 😍

@MistyBxx, my 12 week scan went well! Still terrified though! Getting on a plane soon and worrying about that now!

Congratulations @Flatwhite32

Thank you @mrsjkerry. Still extremely nervous, but taking things one day at a time. If we get that far, I'd like to find out the gender. Hope you're getting on well with your little one!
