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

I had my scan today, was so good to see baby again!! Decided to sleep and not move when trying to get measurements....a lot of moving around and jumping up and down, but we finally got them.

So excited, good luck for anyone still to have their scan.

Due date now 26th December

Lovely scan pics ❤️

Anyone else still getting cramps? I haven’t got cramps as such but had a dull ache in lower abdomen and needed to go for a poo (sorry tmi) about 3/4 times today. I am 13+2, I haven’t had a day where I don’t worry yet 🤦🏼‍♀️ Also had results back but they didn’t give any numbers just says you are classed as low risk 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yay @ceebee21 congrats!! Lovely little chilled out bean for you then xx
@PocoyoandEllie YES!! I do... my lower abdomen is uncomfortable.. it feels tender to touch too?? Like it's bruised. My midwife doesn't seem bothered but I do wish it would go now. What do you feel? xx

@djmbaker it just feels really achey today, not like period pains just a dull ache but then feel like I need the loo but don’t think its constipation as I have been 3 times today 😩 what is going on 😅 x

How did you know what size bras to get in Sainsbury's? Or were you able to try some on? Lovely seeing everyone's pics 😊 I've ordered some maternity leggings to try and some longer tops, I've been wearing dresses mainly but where we have had rain I thought I should get something else too xx

@lc86 I ordered medium. I'm usually a 10 but started with 32FF boobs so looking at the reviews online I just went for medium and they fit really well

@PocoyoandEllie yess I think that will have a lot to do with it. I've had dreadful trapped wind (sorry ) and I do think that's made it worse. Plus I've still got my cyst which has been giving me bother. I suppose a lot is going on in there isn't it?? It's probably just growing and stretching pains.

@lc86 the ones I have just came in small, medium and large I think.. I'd normally be a small, so I went for medium and they are perfect. I sleep in them too xx

@djmbaker @emmalily9 thanks both, I'll pop in there tomorrow and get some x

@PocoyoandEllie I have something similar, too! Not too painful, but my lower abdomen just feels oddly full? Also keep getting random pains on the sides of my tummy and groin.

That's a great scan pic @ceebee21

I've been having some lower abdominal aches too. Feels like I've done a lower ab workout at times.

Will also have to have a look at bras in Sainsburys, thanks for the recommendation!

Hi, first ever post on here! I went for my dating scan today, first pregnancy, so I had no idea what to expect. All was fine, though they moved my due date forward a week! So now my EDD is 19th December 🎄 however this seems weird to me as according to my Natural Cycles app this would put my ovulation around day 7 based on my temperatures. I have no idea how they work it all out lol but I guess it doesn't hugely matter as not likely to come on that day...?

Evening girls, lovely scan pic @ceebee21 😍

Welcome @Hanrora06, ooo id love to have my dates moved forward, I'd feel like Id skipped a level or something 🤣🤣

CAN'T SLEEP too excited /TERRIFIED

husband is snoring. Lucky bastard.

What time is your scan @Katbaby? Hope you managed some sleep x

Good luck @Katbaby x

Good luck for all the scans today!!! 💓💓💓

@Katbaby good luck today.

I really need to buy some maternity leggings, mine are starting to dig in now....not even thought about wearing Jeans.

It's all becoming a bit more real now!!!

Morning girls 😊
@PocoyoandEllie it's at 20 past 1 so not too long by the time I have my breakfast and get ready!

Good luck today @Tink679 and @makingababy fingers crossed we are all given the reassurance we need. Sorry if there's anyone else that I've forgot to tag thats getting scanned today! Hard to keep up with so many of us on the thread.

Thanks for the good luck messages girls x

Good luck @katbaby!! Hope all goes well!

It did feel very much like skipping a level yes 🤣 I was so confused by what she was saying at first and then she was like ok new date and I was like wait what?? But yeah straight to trimester 2 no waiting 👍🏻

For pregnancy leggings I got a 2 pack from h&m which are really nice, they've got loads of good stuff actually so I'm going to buy something else soon. They're just really low in stock of a few things.

Just out of scan and waiting for my bloods to be taken. All good 😊

Haven’t told my husband yet but they’ve moved the official due date to 23 Dec which is his birthday 😂 he won’t be pleased about the prospect of sharing - he already wasn’t when the due date was 27/25 Dec 😂

@makingababy that's hilarious! He will just have to learn to share

I have my 12 week (is this the dating scan?) scan at 9am tomorrow morning - really wishing it wasn't so early!!

I got my Harmony test results back and everything came back low risk which was a relief and we also found out we are having a girl

I'm not going to tell the NHS we had the scan and bloods I don't think as I still want all the risk tests and will be curious to see what date they give us tomorrow - the early scan said 30th Dec

Hood luck to all you beautiful ladies today. I cant wait to see some scan pictures!!

Good luck to everyone today!
@makingababy aww my due date is also 23rd. At least if the birthdays are together it reinforces the birthday celebration rather than rolling it into Christmas 😂 I do think mine will end up being born Christmas Day with my luck!

Anyone else having coccyx pain? I've had it for a few weeks now but I'm just finding sitting on an office chair to do my job such torture.

I googled it when it started and it's definitely due to the pregnancy. I got a donut pillow but it doesn't really help much 😭

Just a quick check in as the thread fell off ones that I am on!

Hope all the scans go well today. I’ve started a very quick look for baby items but very quickly got overwhelmed! My mum has said she wants to buy us the pram new, even though we had told her we want to get everything second hand except the cot mattress & car seat! So that required a lot of me taking deep breaths and saying fine then.

I’ve picked up a couple of 99p eBay bargains, but we’ve both said we aren’t going to go all out - probably just get a second hand next to me crib type thing & some clothes initially & then see what he/she needs.

How’s everyone feeling? My weight seems to have stayed the same - that was getting a concern for me in the first trimester. I had put on 7lbs by 10 weeks but it has stayed the same from then until today at 14 weeks.

I’ve got my dates for my 16 week & 20 week appointments, July will be busy!

Still need to tell friends & work! I’m still overwhelmed by it all, so kind of burying my head in the sand.

Every convo with family who do know is already centred around the baby & pregnancy, so I’m already getting frustrated about the fact I am now just a vessel for this child & no longer a person apparently!

Here’s the pic from earlier - amazing how they actually have profiles now 😊 Anyone any good at gender guesses for skull theory?

@Maverick I haven’t bought anything yet but have been browsing online a lot. I’d really like a shop to open where I could go look at pranks and cots etc in person
