Thought it may be time to move over to the 'Pregnancy' boards

[Mimi91]

@Crazybunnylady123 ah yes, really need to finish wrapping all the pet presents! Christmas is sorted but really need to do a big house clean 😰
In regards to fitness, not overweight, but not exactly a gym goer either! Probably could be fitter tbh, but I do walk the dog twice a day. Really need to crack on with those pelvic floor exercises, seriously slacking!

@MrsS147 some people just have this intuition, you did well to have just the one person figure it out.

@Larrydavid that's helpful thank you. Pregnancy is all fun and games!

I have my first scan tomorrow, feeling a little anxious, breast pain seems to have massively reduced to almost nothing and not feeling as sick as I was. I know symptoms come and go so I'm trying not to read too much into it! Just desperate to see our long awaited baby 🥰

[MrsS147]

@Mimi91 I have a feeling some others might know but just not asking 😂 Oh well, all will be out soon if scan goes well!

Good luck for tomorrow 🥰 I'm feeling anxious for my scan too even though I don't have any reason to be 🙈 my symptoms have come and gone a lot too, and each time I've panicked about it 😂 it's so hard not to worry about it all!

[Larrydavid]

@Mimi91 good luck with scan! I'm sure it will be ok! X

[Mimi91]

Just got back from my scan.

Everything is perfect. Due date 20th July, which is what we estimated. Baby measuring what it should to the day, heartbeat strong, good position. We even got a few little waves 👋🥰

SO relieved! Thanks for the well wishes x

[MrsS147]

Aww that's amazing @Mimi91 🥰 glad to hear the scan went well! Are you telling people at Christmas since you've had a scan?

[Mimi91]

@MrsS147 thank you! Yeah, we've decided to tell our parents and siblings. Will wait until our 12 week scan to tell friends and colleagues, rest of family ☺️ are you doing a Christmas announcement? x

[Larrydavid]

@Mimi91 congratulations! So happy it all went well
for you!

[MrsS147]

@Mimi91 that sounds lovely! My close family and a few friends know, but I'll announce to everyone else at Christmas! So excited but nervous for scan. I feel like the days are dragging!

[Mimi91]

@Larrydavid thank you!

@MrsS147 that'll be nice to announce to everyone else! when's your scan?

[Mimi91]

@MrsS147 oh hang on, is it on Christmas Eve? 🎄😁

[MrsS147]

@Mimi91 yes, Christmas Eve 🎄🥰 it feels weird as this year that's the day I've been counting down to rather than Christmas 😂

[Mimi91]

@MrsS147 amazing! Just one more day 🥰

[MrsS147]

Just home from scan and everything is looking good! Measured at 12+5 with EDD of 2nd July! So skipped another day compared to private scan. Was amazing seeing them and they gave us a wee wave too 🥰 feel like I can relax and enjoy Christmas now.

[Mimi91]

@MrsS147 🥰 gorgeous scan photo! Have a lovely Christmas 🎄

[Crazybunnylady123]

I hope everyone has a lovely christmas!

[Larrydavid]

@MrsS147 what a great scan pic! Hope you had a lovely Christmas- have you shared your news with people?

@Mimi91 @Crazybunnylady123 how was Christmas for you all? We hosted and I'm now totally exhausted 💤

[Mimi91]

@Larrydavid we hosted too and I think i'm still recovering 😴 we told all our family over Christmas, so it was emotionally exhausting as well. Everyone is so happy for us, it was lovely.

How have u been feeling? How's the morning sickness?

[Crazybunnylady123]

It was hectic and tiring, I wasn’t hosting but everyone wants to see our daughter opening her presents so we were running around in the car. Dp couldn’t have anything to drink. He’s not much of a drinker at all but I think he would of liked to chill out and have a couple of beers though!
Sickness is starting to ease up now, I’m having headaches and cramps more. I’m starting to eat like a normal person again, I can get cereal down now and sandwiches. Dinner is still an issue I never know what I want though.
Six weeks now and I will find out whether I’m having a boy or a girl how crazy is that!

[Mimi91]

Happy New Year ladies 🎉 - We're having our babies this year!!

Did anyone actually manage to make it to 12 last night?

[Crazybunnylady123]

Happy new year. No I didn’t make it, I have caught some kind of really bad cold. Tonsils are up, temperature, coughing, wretching, headache the works. Nearly went to hospital because I couldn’t keep any fluids down. The coughing was making me sick.
Managing to drink this morning though. Not a happy bunny, dp and I had cheese and crackers and were going to cuddle up on the sofa last night!
Hope your evenings were more successful!

[MrsS147]

Happy new year everyone!

I managed to stay up until 1am! I have no idea how I managed that as with the exception of Christmas the latest I've been up has been 8:30 😂

@Larrydavid I've told everyone now! Feel nice that everyone knows now! And suddenly my bump has come right out, its as if it knows that everyone knows now and it can show itself 😂

So exciting that we will all be having our babies this year!

[MrsS147]

Sorry to hear you are feeling ill @Crazybunnylady123 hope you're feeling better soon.

[Mimi91]

@Crazybunnylady123 poor you, I had the same thing a couple of weeks ago. It started off as a cold and developed into sinusitis and bronchitis, my tonsils were up and it killed to swallow. It was miserable.

The only thing that made me feel slightly human was paracetamol, I only took two over two days but it was the only thing that got me out of bed when it was really bad.

Really hope you feel better soon!

[Larrydavid]

Happy new year! I stayed up til 2 and then snuck away to bed. My boyfriend woke me at 4:30 and then I couldn't get back to sleep for a while (very unlike me!) - we had a impromptu party at ours. It was pretty amusing being sober! I wish I felt fresh today but the pregnancy headaches feel just like a hangover!

@Crazybunnylady123 sorry you're ill. Hope you feel better soon!

@MrsS147 how lovely that everyone know! I swear my bump started at 8 weeks! I can really see my rounded stomach now (though I probably still just look a bit chubby to everyone else!)

@Mimi91 I can't believe we have babies this year. Mind blown!

[Mimi91]

@Larrydavid so impressed you stayed up until 2!! Pregnancy does feel like one epic hangover.

I had a bit of a mad day at work yesterday 🙈 I was feeling really anxious (about absolutely everything) and then 2 different colleagues invited me out for drinks. Then my supervisor started taking about booking a holiday in July. I got a surge of adrenaline and just stood up and told everyone in my office!!!!

Unfortunately, neither of my managers were in, so everyone has found out before them. I'm also off work next week, so I'm going to tell one manager today and I've sent the other one a message - I was worried he was going to find out from someone else on my week off and I wanted it to come from me.

I haven't even had my 12 week scan yet! Completely deviated from my plan.

Arghh, pregnancy does weird things to you!
