@GemmaJen wonderful news on your baby girl! 💗 naughty little one not letting you see for a while but I bet seeing her for so long was magical 🥰 enjoy shopping! I'm having a boy and am loving the neutral unisex clothes out at the moment- it's just knowing what to buy and not going mad 🙈

Exciting @ChaosMoon hoping baby makes an appearance soon 💙💗

Congratulations @PinkFizz19 and welcome!
I had an early scan at 7 weeks and it was fantastic- made me really settle and relax! Christmas Baby too, what a lovely time of year 🥰

Have a lovely day @Crossfitgirl, hope you see some nice things to buy! xxx

@GemmaJen I bet you were so relieved when she uncrossed her legs!

@PinkFizz19 so good to see you on here!

@Crossfitgirl looking forward to hearing about what you've bought!

ChaosMoon · 07/04/2019 20:05

Thanks @mrsof20118 @GemmaJen.

In a lot of pain this afternoon. BH are coming thick and fast, but are now really hurting - intense period type cramps and back ache. No pattern or regularity to them though, so it may just be wishful thinking.

Congratulations @PinkFizz19!

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.

ChaosMoon · 07/04/2019 20:08

And thank you @MrsC87! Sorry, I somehow missed a page.

I hope the baby sale was good and you picked up some bargins @Crossfitgirl.

Now why did my phone auto-correct bargins to vagina? Glad I caught that one...

Fivebyfive2 · 07/04/2019 20:16

Hi ladies, I've been checking in on this thread since I left as like to see how you're all doing, hope that's not too weird!! Lovely to see all the updates and how things are going 🙂 Today is 28 days since I had to have the d&c op in hospital and happy to say a fairly normal af has arrived bang on time, so am officially ttc again... Hopefully I'll be back on this thread soon!! Xxx

ChaosMoon · 07/04/2019 20:41

It's so good to hear from you @Fivebyfive2! Definitely not weird.

I'm so glad to hear your cycle's returned to normal so quickly. Sending you bags and bags of baby dust.

Crossfitgirl · 07/04/2019 21:42

Thanks @mrsc87 @chaosmoon I picked up some suuuuper cute baby clothes! got some 0-3 and 0-6 long and short sleeve baby grows but there's a couple of tiny baby and newborn sizes in there I hadn't noticed so at least that's all bases covered! Also got some super cute little t shirts and leggings, a little wooly cotton lined cardi, and 2 sleeping bags. All for no more than £15 in total, I'd highly recommend going to a nearly new sale if there's one near you - most of the newborn and 0-3 stuff was all about 50p per piece and all the mums there said they are in them for such little time, they'd never buy new in those sizes again. They all seem really good quality too as not worn much, I'm well chuffed! Haha. Better than getting on ebay as you can pick out the ones that look the least worn too.

Nearly bought a sling, but I want to have a shop around a bit and look at some others.

I'm also pleased to say they were bargains and not vaginas 😂

Crossfitgirl · 07/04/2019 21:54

Can't resist sharing these!! Sorry!

Crossfitgirl · 07/04/2019 22:00

They are so cute and tiny in real life. And I wasn't going to get any clothes yet!!! Lol.

@fivebyfive2 waves good to see you back and no it's not strange at all, I'm glad things are getting back to normal for you and ttc can recommence :-) sending you all the luck in the world for your next cycle and I hope it isn't too long before you're back here for good! I still check in on the TTC thread now and again, though it moves much faster than this one so I only get tiny snapshots lol xxx

@Crossfitgir ooh nice! There is one near us middle of next month so we're going to go there and see what we can get, makes sense to get some things like that 2nd hand when they only wear them for such a short amount of time!

@fivebyfive2 nice to see you, and good luck with ttc again - hopefully it won't be long and you'll be back here! I've not checked in on the ttc thread for a while, it all goes so quick and my brain can barely remember my own name some days :D

So ladies, 26 weeks tomo and I was sick twice this morning. Also have pelvic pain...could this be a growth spurt?

@Fivebyfive2 nice to hear from you and good luck with ttc, hopefully see you back on here. I often want to comment on the ttc thread but don't want to intrude or come across as a know it all from the pregnancy thread (hope that makes sense, just wouldn't want to offend anyone) xx

stormtrooperjulian · 08/04/2019 14:06

@Crossfitgirl some of those are so cute! I’ll definitely be going to a nearly new sale at some point this summer. When I saw my mum at the weekend she gave me one of my old babygrows from when I was newborn, I can’t believe how tiny it is!

16 weeks today, heard the heartbeat at my midwife appointment which was lovely, DH came along so it was really nice that he got to hear it too.
I’m definitely showing now, can hide it under a baggy jumper but if I take my jumper off then it’s obvious. I’m not ready to tell my team yet so I’m hoping I can hide it for another few weeks til I go on holiday then I’ll tell them when I get back, will be 22 weeks by then.

GemmaJen · 08/04/2019 14:47

@MrsC87 having to sit on my hands so I don't buy every cute thing I see 🙈😅

@BostonFern yes, I'd had enough of being prodded and poked by the time she finally relented, the scanning place us lovely but I'm glad we don't need to go back!

Congratulations @PinkFizz19 and welcome 😊

@ChaosMoon BH sound awful, must be so frustrating when you're so close. Fingers crossed it's not long now 🤞

@Crossfitgirl some very cute outfits ♥️ was there a lot of stuff/a wide selection at the nearly new sale?

GemmaJen · 08/04/2019 16:57

I know discounts for these have come up before, but www.greengroupcollective.co.uk have some good discounts on haakaa breast pumps, bottles and teethers at the moment that might be if interest..I think the pump is down to £9 plus postage

Delilah7 · 08/04/2019 19:09

Well. Sickness has come back. Had to have a day off work, been so under the weather. Nausea the last three days and yesterday it hit.
Am I bad to never want to be pregnant again and just want him out and here? 😩

Crossfitgirl · 08/04/2019 21:04

@mrsc87 I find I have growth spurts and symptoms do seem to come back for a bit, I notice my bump gets bigger each time it happens so I'd say yes. Hope it subsides again soon. @delilah7 not at all, you've had an awful pregnancy symptoms wise, I think I'd feel the same! @gemmajen thanks for that - I have a haakaa, it seems good! Well it sticks to my boob and looks cool at least lol. There were LOADS of baby clothes, and a few other bits but the rest was mostly toys and books. @stormtrooperjulian good luck with the hiding, baggy stuff should do the trick. I've looked obviously preggo since about 14 weeks so I'd have no chance of hiding it that long!

I proper got the giggles last night - was in bed and baby was having her pre bedtime kicking session, so DH put his ear to my belly to listen.... She gave a MASSIVE kick and kicked him in the face!! I was in hysterics all night! DH got annoyed as I was laughing so much he couldn't feel anything any more! literally was still laughing about it on the way to work this morning.
Properly just tickled me for some reason lol 😂

ChaosMoon · 09/04/2019 07:14

So it turner out they weren't Braxton Hicks... DD was born in the early hours of yesterday morning. We are already besotted! 😍

@ChaosMoon ah congratulations hun! She's gorgeous :) enjoy this time and I hope the labour was okay!

@Crossfitgirl oh bless that's quite funny about little one kicking your DH! Brilliant. I'm feeling kicks more regularly now but nothing 'from the outside' yet.

We have our 20 week scan tomorrow, eek! Excited and slightly scared; having had the 16 week one privately I'm less nervous than I would other wise be as we saw their spine and they did lots of measurements then. Looking forward to having a 2nd opinion on gender!!

Crossfitgirl · 09/04/2019 17:43

Congratulations @chaosmoon! 😍😍😍 She's gorgeous :-) hope you're both doing well xxx
