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

My midwife just said she will be in touch nearer the time? I'm only 14 weeks so I have a bit of time yet. She knows I have a private scan Sunday so she said we can wait until after that.

I'd ring if your close to 16 weeks! Won't do any harm 😍

My midwife also said I need to call and arrange the 16 week appointment while I had the booking in appointment. It seems it's different depending where you are.

This week has been awful work-wise, I'm so happy it's the weekend. May even treat myself to a cool bath and alcohol free beer before the husband gets home.

My 16 week appointment via phonecall should of been yesterday, didn’t hear anything so txt the midwife who did my booking in and still not heard 😅

[Bumble84]

I’ve got my 16 week one with the consultant and was given it at the time of my booking in but I guess everywhere is different.

My neighbour just said I look like I have a very neat bump and I didn’t even think I had a bump. I wasn’t expecting people to say things like that at 14weeks 😢

Our trust is not doing 16 week appts at all, they are doing them at the same time as the 20 week scan.

I've got my 16 week appt next friday, I had to call up after my 12 week scan to book it.

@Bumble84 maybe she was just looking for something to say or a way to start a conversation about the pregnancy? If you haven't noticed a bump I doubt anyone else could!

[Natt99]

Wow the 16 week appointments really do vary don't they!
Mine was booked at my booking in appointment but I don't know if it's face to face still or has changed to phone as midwife mentioned it's likely to change to phone.
I heard they don't do much at it except measure blood pressure and urine.

I've had some funny comments recently now that we've seen more people in person. My husbands step mum asked if I was planning on giving up work after the baby's born 😂 and quite a few people have asked how long we've been trying for which is a bit TMI!

[emmalily9]

@Natt99 I had my 16 week today and it was face to face so there's still hope! She basically asked how much the due date had changed, checked my test results, discussed the anti-D injection with me (not everyone will need this), tested my urine and checked my blood pressure. She then booked my 25 week and that was it 😂

[Bumble84]

@LoveSunshine01 I know she definitely meant nothing by it, I’m just really sensitive about my weight in general and it got me thinking that people will be looking at me over the next months and judging how big my bump is and what not and it just makes me feel a bit paranoid.

Morning girls took a long while to catch up this time! About 3 pages worth!

I've been keeping quite well had lots more energy so been doing longer dog walks(when it's not been 30 degrees) and also managed to do a strength workout yesterday. Realising that after not doing anything for weeks my muscles aren't used to it and I ache from head to toe today!

I'm sorry to hear about those who are having family issues that really sucks. I don't have the best relationship with my FIL but I find just generally avoiding him works best 🤣. And I don't speak to my dad at all but he lives abroad so that makes it easier to not worry about bumping into him!

Also went shopping for the first time yesterday and bought some cute little sleep suits I couldn't resist and starting getting some ideas for furniture. Thinking I'm gonna do the mamas and papas personal shopping a little later in the pregnancy to get ideas!

Got my 16 week app on 14th (over the phone) and 20 week scan 7th August!

Other than that not much to share ☺️ hope you girls are good! Also can see this 3rd thread is nearly full! We will be on thread 4 soon!

[sgray01]

Hey guys! Had the worst week going. Was working on Tuesday when I fainted, got rushed to hospital where they've discovered a blood clot on my heart!
I'm finally out on blood thinning injections.

They wanted to do an ultrasound to check baby, everything was absolutely fine! Can't believe the change already! Actually looks like a little baby now!
2 weeks on Monday and we'll know what baby is!
