Sorry missed your message @BntTowers I've requested to going the group too, looks really helpful!

Indigogirl88 · 17/05/2020 07:57

I've woke up with achy hips @CouscousEvaporator and I'm procrastinating about getting out of bed.

I woke up a few times on my back in the night and trying not to worry too much. Before pregnancy I always slept on my side

There's a really nice pregnancy goody box in that group. £80 of stuff for £20, looks really good.

Happy 20 weeks to those! I'm 20 weeks tomorrow, feels like a massive milestone. Lovely bump photos too 😻

I've been really sick the last two days again, nice proper up chucking. But lots of kicks and sushi last night makes up for it. Plus I've found some wallpaper for the nursery.

@LexiM that's really nice on the wedding going ahead ♥️

For Ikea, I had it out of order and kept checking back and managed to get (was just a cube unit though). It is around 4 weeks for delivery.

Anyone got any nice Sunday plans?

HerondaleDucks · 17/05/2020 08:44

We officially made our list of things to get and were looking online to do a bit research.
First time Dh has proactively been interested in getting ready for baby!

I also found a post of FB last night for nursing bras from m and s in my size and with tags still on for a tenner.

We are decorating today, want the dining room to be finished by the end of the day.

BooMamaBear · 17/05/2020 09:45

I know what you mean about achy hips I've got a pregnancy pillow which helps though!

Girls I've totally freaked myself out -TMI but I've been having a bit of pale yellow wateryish discharge not much but I'm sure I've had these since I've been Oregon's by but I saw online last night that this could be leaking amniotic fluid! Anyone else have this but their scan showed all Ok?
I've got my scan on Tuesday and I've had it for a while so I'm sure I can wait 2 more days just panicking a bit! And wandering if this is why my belly is so firm?? Xx

CouscousEvaporator · 17/05/2020 09:45

@Indigogirl88 it is so annoying. I think I’m going to have to start specific stretches for them now!
I wish I could sleep on my back then it would go away...I’ve woken up on my back a couple of times as well. Heaven haha

BooMamaBear · 17/05/2020 09:46

Meant had this since I've been pregnant

CouscousEvaporator · 17/05/2020 09:47

@BooMamaBear increase in watery discharge is common isn’t it? I though it was progesterones fault!
If not I’m going through exactly what you are... :/

bluemoon2468 · 17/05/2020 09:52

I'm having exactly the same @BooMamaBear. Have had a few moments of panic where I've worried it's amniotic fluid but have tried to reassure myself it's just normal pregnancy discharge!

CouscousEvaporator · 17/05/2020 09:58

Ah it’s a relief you’ve had it too blue moon, was worried for a minute!!

BooMamaBear · 17/05/2020 10:14

Thanks guys that makes me feel better we can't all be leaking fluid! I'll double check on Tuesday anyway coz my consultant does my scan! Xx

Spark27 · 17/05/2020 10:25

@BooMamaBear, I have had soooooo much discharge since I got pregnant. Sometimes its watery, some times thicker. Had it in my first pregnancy too. I've taken to wearing pantyliners. It's so annoying. I feel constantly wet and yuck. But provided it's not smelly, itchy, painful it's normal.

LexiM · 17/05/2020 10:25

Yes I’ve gone from having no discharge to having watery discharge. It’s so annoying because you think is it fluid leaking or have I wet myself. 😂 Apparently an increase in discharge is normal though.

otterbaby · 17/05/2020 10:29

Awww my bump feels tiny compared to all of yours! Can't wait to 'pop'.

@BooMamaBear I've had the same thing and just had my scan on Thursday and amniotic fluid was all okay!

Has anyone had really bad stretching pains? I woke up around 3am last night in absolute agony...to the point I rang the hospital and was like wtf is going on?! I took some paracetamol and put a heat pad on my back and it went away after about half an hour...but it was like bad period pains 😳

Treacle81 · 17/05/2020 10:39

Morning girls! Oh got such a fright when you me ruined leaking fluid @BooMamaBear I have also just thought it was increased discharge (which is normal) scan on Tues so I’ll ask! I know exactly how you feel @otterbaby which is why this forum is so good for me! Fri night woke at 2am with those pains, v sore! Same again yest afternoon to the point that needed warm bath and was v close to taking pain relief. Today defo felt more uncomfortable when showering too, so think it’s just this RL pain. V scary tho, makes me crap myself at the thought of actual contractions 😵xx

Treacle81 · 17/05/2020 10:41

Bump pic to follow suit lol

BooMamaBear · 17/05/2020 10:43

Thanks @otterbaby that makes me feel so much better!
My bump just seemed to grow overnight last weekend!
I've had stretching pain it's not been quite as bad as period pain but it felt muscular like period pain without cramping! Xx

CouscousEvaporator · 17/05/2020 11:07

Ahh these bumps 😍

Buzz22 · 17/05/2020 11:16

@BooMamaBear I shouldn't worry too much. I have been having watery discharge and its different to when I was leaking fluid last time. Even my slow leak would almost come out in little gushes after I stood up. Fluid also smells sweet and is colourless. Definitely speak to the consultant for peace of mind.

Awww I love all these bump photos. Mine doesnt look like a bump at all yet really. It's so tiny. I was reassured by the consultant the other day who said as I'm tall and have backwards tilted uterus it can take longer to show. I'm 19 weeks and 3 days now...having to crouch to fit the the stupidly positioned mirror!

CouscousEvaporator · 17/05/2020 11:21

@buzz22 mine looks more like yours and I’m also tall. I was bigger at 9 weeks than I am now!!

bluemoon2468 · 17/05/2020 11:34

Oh jesus looking at all your bump pictures I am absolutely massive compared to all of you and I'm also tall, and it's my first pregnancy! Think I'm looking at a big baby!

Aquablue1123 · 17/05/2020 11:35

@BooMamaBear yes I've had the same panic with the discharge and hard belly, google is not our friend in these scenarios. I'm going to ask can they check it out on Wednesday. I think it's normal though (I hope anyway) xx

Love the bump pics xx

Treacle81 · 17/05/2020 11:35

Same @CouscousEvaporator I was terribly bloated first tri!! xx

BooMamaBear · 17/05/2020 11:37

Thanks @Buzz22 that helps - my SIL is 6 foot and she was small with her first she put a pic on FB a few days before she was due and loads of people commented on how small she was -she was bigger with her second though! I think when you're tall they have more room so you don't stick out so much i'm only 5ft 3 inches! Xxx

Aquablue1123 · 17/05/2020 11:39

Here's my bumpie 19 + 5 days. 💙 x
