First time pregnancies: summer babies 2018 part 2

[lmx0]

@Embracethechaos good thinking but i cant see the attraction!!!! Even the texture of them when babies have them plastered everywhere 🤢

@lmx0 roll on July then! I'm going off early in August so that's my countdown haha xx

I go off end of July. Can't wait! X

It will be nice to be off during the summer hopefully the weather stays nice!!

I loved being able to say yesterday.. 'next month I finish work for a year!' that sounds so good doesn't it! X

Oh it really does my DH kept saying to me our gonna be a mummy next month bless him

Anyone else totally freaked out by leaky nipples? Xx

Mine havnt really started yet however there is one that leaks the odd drop but i cant get the imagine of me being somewhere and them exploding or something lol

Hi lovelies, how is everyone?

@Brettgirl all is good. I have my anomaly scan tomorrow so anxiety is kicking in now. How did everyone find theirs?

How're you?x

@Brettgirl im good thanks 2 weeks left of work cant wait to finish!! How are you?
@Lphil93 it was long the girl spent a good half hour scanning me (not that i minded!) dont worry if they are quite as they need to really concentrate on everything i also had to go back for a 2nd scan as baby was laying funny so the heart couldnt be checked correctly but it was all good

Update: anomaly scan couldn't have gone any better! Feeling a bit battered and bruised as she had to be quite firm as persistent as I have an awkward baby girl growing 😁😁😁

@Lphil93 thats great too hear!! I felt a little tender after the rescan the girk was a little rougher than the first!! Did you know shes was a she or did you find out today?

@lmx0 I feel so sore now haha but it was all worth it! Found out today :)

@Lphil93 aww brilliant congrats!! 😁💖

@lphil93 so happy for you! Congratulations! Xx

@lmxo I had to finish last week, got a few complications now and was advised to stop. Just trying to get everything done now, but I’m so tired all the time! How long now til your due date? Xxx

Hi, can I join the thread? I'm 30 weeks with my first and am trying to navigate reusable nappies (so many options!) and cots and co-sleepers.. the nesting instinct kicked in massively as soon as I hit the third trimester!

I also had an appointment with the consultant yesterday as baby has been measuring big over the last 3 growth scans. They currently think s/he is 2kg and talked about c-section and early induction. I've been really keen to avoid both and know that estimated weights can be pretty inaccurate. Anyone else going through this?

Ps I start my mat leave at the end of July and cannot wait!

@Brettgirl nothing to serious i hopebut its maybe cane at a gold time if your exhausted give you a chance to rest more just over 5 weeks left for me you?

@wolfiemother welcome 😊 there is soooo much out there now it really is a mind field!!

@lmxo it’s to do with my bile duct, plus babies growth has slowed down. I’ve technically got about 6 weeks left but because of the condition they have said they are going to try and get me to 37 weeks. I’m 34 weeks on Thursday, seeing the consultant on Monday and blood tests have shown the condition is getting worse so I think we may be discussing steroids for baby and early delivery... it’s all very up in the air!
Have you got everything ready? Xx

@Brettgirl oh goodness sounds very stressful!! Hope Monday goes well!! My pram came yesterday and babys bag is packed just need to put all my stuff into its case and check i have everything might do that today maybe? Have you much left to sort out?

@lmxo I had such an easy start to pregnancy, think this is payback lol
We’ve still got some junk in the nursery that needs to go, then we can finish decorating. I’d like to paint the kitchen but that’s looking less and less likely lol
We are halfway through our plumbing work so that’s all good, should be finished by the end of next week and we will have hot water! Yaaay!
Got most of babies stuff sorted, but after the scan on Monday I may need to get a few tiny baby bits. Moses basket is now in place by the bed, it’s all very scary!
What pram did you go for? Xx

@Brettgirl ohh wow you've alot going on!!! You will be doing amazing well to get everything finished never mind the kitchen just make sure you don't over do it ive just packed my hospital bag all that needs to go into it are clothes for coming home in but ill do that when i finish work n get then washed n put in we went for the mamas & papas ocarro and absolutely love it what did you go with?

@Brettgirl when i go on mat leave im going to spring clean our room then get the crib moved in then its all very scary how quick its happening!!

@lmxo it all seemed so far away at the beginning didn’t it?
We’ve got the mothercare journey xx
