Christmas babies thread 3!

[Katbaby]

Hey girls starting up the new thread as thread 2 is about full. Will copy link into old thread save trying to remember everyone to tag!! Xx

@Katbaby my scan isn’t until next week either - 16th, so we can be nerve-y together!

Good luck to everyone going in this week x

@makingababy mine is the 16th too! We can handhold together. Feel like this one is gonna be a long week!

@djmbaker I had a maccies for my tea last night, couldn't decide between big mac or double cheeseburger so I had both! Along with a large fries and full fat coke... 🍔🍟🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷

@Katbaby haha I have had the strongest craving for Diet Coke from mc Donald's all the way through so it was a glorious moment 😂😂 just regret not getting chicken nuggets .. so I may go back after my scan on Wednesday 😂😂

I had maccies 2 days on the run last week not even joking 🐷🐷🐷

Missing the days where I craved subway salads! Now I'm all about the carbs

Actually missing being the active person I was before being pregnant, long walks with the dog, mornings in the gym, pilates etc. Sickness has put a stop to all of it!

Cute scan @viixie, glad everything looks good.

Still waiting for our local scan place to open and do gender scans again. Thinking of booking in week 17 or 18, we’re so desperate to find out! Hoping it will be open in a month.

I’ve just been a carb monster from day one - current diet is a massive bowl of Coco Pops and then a huge bowl of fruit, cheese and crisp sandwich for lunch and then something small for dinner like one sausage and some cucumber. Really don’t have an appetite in the evenings - unless it’s for dominos!

Hospital has just called to move my scan from the 17th to the 15th - yay!

@Katbaby I'm missing exercise too, managed to do 2 small runs last week and felt so unfit. Really want to stay fit for my pregnancy.

Is anyone else struggling with what to drink? I'd normally drink alot of tea, which I just can't stomach atm. Water is yuk. Squash is too sweet. Feel like I'm not drinking as much as I should be.

Good luck to everyone that has scans today!

@Helski123 omg yes. I can't drink tea, can't stomach anything milky, gone off squash. A few weeks ago I was ok on orange juice diluted half with water but I can't stomach that now either. I never liked water much but I'm forcing little bits down me as worried about dehydration. Ribeana is ok(but it has to be the sort in the cardboard cartoon with a straw lol).

Good luck! to all the scans today 😊 Changed my Acupin today, ive thrown up 1 time in three days but still dry heaving loads 🤷‍♀️

I have a private scan booked for 4 weeks today and can take DH as it stands at the moment so hoping he can come, we are finding out. I just know its a boy already!

My maternity bra arrived just and a pair of maternity leggings......
Such. Comfort.

I guess I'll be living in these for the next year!

Just had the letter through for 20 week scan on 31st July! I think I really need to tell work now 😅

Afternoon ladies just waiting for my scan now! Even though it's only just over a week since the last one I feel so nervous all over again!
I've also been having similar stomach pains for about 3 weeks now so I think it must just be part of normal stretching hopefully.
Finding it so weird to be out of the house, I've hardly been able to face going anywhere for so long now!

@Helski123 @GlassboatSailor OMG yes I was the biggest tea drinker ever but the thought of it now just makes me feel horrendous! I can take fruity tea but that's it. I also am hating water and have been doing the OJ diluted with water but also feeling that has a lifespan now... I'm obsessed with those Cawton Press elderflower drinks, and the rhubarb one, and also diet coke which I never usually drink... I just miss tea so much!!

Here is my little bean. They put me at 12 weeks exactly, so 5 days behind! But everything is well and now it feels so much more real

@Nic2908 mine is Wednesday, I’m terrified and can’t concentrate on anything else even though I’ve already had two early scans showing a heartbeat!!! I had a miscarriage directly before and some bleeding in this pregnancy hence the early scans. I’ve had hardly any symptoms so far so I just can’t believe it’s really happening!

@december2020 😂😂😂 bless you!! I know when my maternity leggings arrived it felt like heaven. I need to find bras now.. there are SO many and they all vary in price so much!! Enjoy your new comfort xxx

@calipoppy hope it went well 💓🙏🏻

@ElsaCC gorgeous scan! Congratulations 💓

@GlassboatSailor @Helski123 I have only just been able to drink water again... it was actually getting me down last week.. I could only drink lemonade everything else made me so sick. But I'm actually enjoying water now, as long as it freeeeeezing cold. I have stopped being sick now.. well I haven't been sick since Thursday so I'm hoping my tastes will later slightly and make it easier.

Thank you @djmbaker all went well, they've dated me 12+6 so due 15th dec! She also said my corpus luteum is gone which apparently means sickness should be totally gone soon too 🙌

Didn't get a very good picture of the baby though, they were in the most awkward positions 😂 the sonographer had me jumping around and all sorts but no luck haha. Never mind lucky I got a good one last time!

Aww lovely @calipoppy I’ve got the same EDD, think @december2020 does too!

Hi ladies! I have been lurking for a long time as was waiting until my scan to post anything. Had it today and all good so far. I am also due 15th Dec. Seems a popular date.

Welcome @Pea1984 - that first week of lockdown was definitely a busy one

Also been lurking! I got my scan today and they dated me at 12weeks 5 days. My sickness is still in full swing unfortunately but the baby looks fine and is chilling out!

Also another one who desperately needs new bottoms and a new bra, was horrible putting on jeans today before the scan appointment because I am so used to my cosy pj bottoms and leggings! 😂 have to admit I was relieved that everything seems to be okay with the baby. Good luck with everyone’s scans this week!

Pic fell off! Here’s the baby x
