Late October babies - Thread 2

[Mc3209]

Just continuing the chat where we left off on the other thread! @roarfeckingroar @DressingGown87 @MamaNaz @1990shopefulftm @Flora20 @Jaffas20 and everyone else I've forgotten!

@emmaa96 lovely scan photos! I'm struggling with evening appetite too, finding breakfast and lunch more appealing and by the evening it's hard to think of anything i fancy.

Currently living in gym leggings as the waistbands are wide and comfy but just starting to notice a bit of a bump over the last few days. Trying to manage with clothes and wait and order some bits when we're closer to going back to work and bump is growing more.

@EmmaA96 Gorgeous pics!

@EmmaA96 your babies look beautiful! I am so happy for you ☺️

Now I am feeling better, and I don't have a bump yet sometimes I forget I am pregnant. Feeling like a fraud, quite looking forward to feeling pregnant again.

@EmmaA96 aww lovely pictures! Did you already know there were 2? If so, I must’ve missed that further back in the convo

@EmmaA96 awww beautiful scan photos! How amazing to see not one, but two gorgeous babies growing in there! 

@Mc3209 I'm totally with you on feeling like a fraud, it's actually reassuring to hear someone else feel this way because I've been feeling a bit anxious this week wondering why I'm not popping out already and feeling completely normal, which I know rationally is silly...

@DressingGown87 feeling a lot better today managed a small walk yesterday evening did the world of good x

@EmmaA96 congratulations on your babies! Lovely scan pics, are they your first? Probably why no bump yet, I've only got the 1 baby growing inside me but feel 6 months preggo 😂 I definitely think every time your out and about to just pick a couple of things up each time xx

Hi guys, I'm sure this questions been asked multiple times but I've only been on this forum about a week...

Just wondering what you are all doing about work? Personally, I work retail and haven't been in since week before lockdown. But I will have to go back in a couple weeks as they can not longer pay me.. I'll be doing office jobs that have been made up especially for me :/ hopefully I won't get nasty gossip spread for it..

Is anyone else a bit confused about government guidelines on pregnant women? Apparently we are no longer high risk.. I've asked midwife for a phone chat.

Also @emmaa96 congrats! Really lovely scan pics 😍😍

Thanks everyone! They are baby number 3 & 4, big surprise we found out last week at a private scan!

@Freddie1987 I've been proding my belly trying to feel the bump. It's very strange feeling normal again, and quite unsettling.

@justtb I am working from home until further notice. Do your colleagues know you are pregnant? Sounds like your boss knows already.

@EmmaA96 aww congratulations on your identical twins! Lovely scan photo two. Have you told DC 1&2?

@SamK93 Glad you managed to get out for a walk, and feel better for it. Try and go a couple of times a week and it will do your mental health a world of good, just listening to the sound of nothing!

@justtb I am working from home, but my job allows me too. I just haven't been able to do any site visits, as building sites are not the most hygienic places at the best of times. If you have a risk assessment, and they have put measures in place, hopefully you will be ok. If you have any concerns speak to your manager and midwife. Look after yourself.

I have a small bump! Im 15+1 now!

Anyone else sporting a bump already?

@justtb I'm really confused myself with the government guidelines and my workplace haven't got the best communication all they care about is covering work which I totally understand but they should care about their employees too. I'm a domiciliary health care assistant, so I go from home to home. I'm due back in work may 7th I'm not sure if I'm ready! I had to take my annual leave so I had some sort of pay coming in. I will have to go back to work though because I need my wage. I work with a lot of elderly people, a few have had the virus so I'm scared to go back out into the community again. Really don't know what to do, also I know they're not furloughing.

Yes! Glad I'm not the only lol

@UpsyDaisy1234

I'm 13+4, otherwise quite a flat stomach I feel like as soon as I saw a positive I had a bump 😂😂

@SamK93 you can work if they do a risk assessment , these are the latest guidelines www.rcog.org.uk/en/guidelines-research-services/guidelines/coronavirus-pregnancy/covid-19-virus-infection-and-pregnancy/

@DressingGown87 yes my oldest is so excited, my 18 month old doesn’t quite understand just yet so she’ll get a big shock when I bring them home!

Aww gorgeous bumps @UpsyDaisy1234 @SamK93 😍😍

threw the waiting for bigger bits out of the window and ordered a Moses basket because it was on offer.

@UpsyDaisy1234 and @SamK93 I've got serious bump envy! Looking gorgeous. 😘

@SamK93 Glad you're feeling better - try to keep getting out as it really does help!

@justtb I think they have to offer you a position that allows you too socially distance, and if they can't do that then you should be furloughed or off on full pay. I've been off since the first announcement that pregnant women are in the vulnerable list, secondary teacher so no chance of safe social distancing. Look up pregnant then screwed on FB or Instagram, there's lots of useful info on there.

Thanks everyone ❤️

@1990shopefulftm yay go you lol! I don't blame you, where did you get it from xx

@SamK93 Asda, there's some bits in the sale at the moment.

@mc3209 yes I think everyone knew a long time ago. I told one member of management I was pregnant and suddenly the whole shop knew!

@SamK93 I was in a similar position. I was not being offered social distancing work and was told I would be without pay.. I actually went as far as going to local news about it and my employers quickly apologised paying me full pay. Your employers should be looking out for you! I'd try and take it further!

Hi ladies, I hope it’s ok to join! I am 15 weeks today, due on the 21st October with my first

Any guesses on gender?

Main symptoms atm are lower back ache, headaches and tiredness. I am also having trouble walking today as I feel like I have a trapped nerve in my groin

Hi all, I'm jumping ship from the Nov thread as my scan on Monday revealed I'm now due on Halloween. This will be our second child, I have a 4yr old boy so I feel as though I've forgotten EVERYTHING! Hello all....

All your tiny baby bumps are wonderful.. makes me feel all soppy! I think I'm in the process of 'popping', lots of slight ligament aches.. clothes feel uncomfortable.. bloat loads in the evenings and fool myself into thinking it's baby but I think it's cos I can't use the toilet.. if you know what I mean 🙄

@hmeadow24 I am guessing a girl. Do you have a hunch about baby's gender?

@Lorenzo3000 welcome! Same due date as me - a Halloween pumpkin ☺️

@justtb I know all too well what you mean. Same here. I am fed up of eating bran now, it ain't doing a thing 😬
