👣 Due Late Nov/Early Dec it's bump time! 👣

[ChampooPapi]

Thread three 🙌

Can't believe how quick the other thread filled up!!! A resident told me today I looked very podgy so that boosted my confidence.....🤣

@RunnerGirl123 Are you using Infolic? I'm PCOS too and have been using for the past 3 years, has really helped to control symptoms and regulate periods.

My midwife told me stop folic acid but don't think she has any knowledge of PCOS/Infolic so I've cut down to using it once a day. Are you still using it twice? Im nervous about cutting it down and didn't feel comfortable stopping.

@firstbabybell it's when you're on your period and you get what I can only describe as a yawning dragging sensation in your vagina. I've had it since my daughter. Not everyone gets it. You might be lucky!

Hey @lockdown84 I’m 2nd December so just a day before you

My trust isn’t doing 16 week appointments, even by telephone. So I won’t have any contact now until my 20 week scan

Jumping on new thread!
Our scan to find out gender is £45 as well @ChampooPapi such a good deal I think!

Having it the same day as my NHS one! I hoping the regulations have changed and my partner and son can come to the private one.

Hope everyone's feeling good today!

Beautiful scan @Pe4nutsmum

I'm still taking folic acid didn't realise you were meant to stop! Oops!

@Pinktruffle yep it's Inofolic, although they've rebranded recently which threw me off a little but still does the same job. The website says it's perfectly safe for pregnancy and can reduce the risk of GD so I'm just gona keep taking it. I'll mention it during my consultant appointment on Wednesday and let you know what they say!

I don't think there are any cons to taking folic acid further but no additional benefits either - so if it's in a multivit for example it's fine.

@kkr168 show us a picture of this pram immediately! 🙌

@nearlyamummyof3 I was too, I only just remembered when I read it in one of those bounty magazines. I can't wait for your scan! Is it the end of next week?

@MummyShark97 and that quilt better make it's way on here 🥰

I'm getting excited ladies! It's going to be a fantastic Christmas isn't it 🤱🎄⛪💝

Also I'm very pleased as sourced another snuzpod for 15 pounds, such a bargain! On eBay, starting bod was 15, ten minutes drive from ours for collecting. And I won because no one else bidded.

I am beyond happy! And we even have some of our pale pink special paint left from painting our other one so we can make them matchy matchy.

I like a neutral for girls a lot of the time but some things just look perfect in pink

I dread to think what the matress is going to cost, probably about 60 quid but it has to be done. Got to replace theirs even if it's spotless.

It's Wednesday so 4 days and counting!
Happily my NHS one is 9.30 so not much waiting around but my private one isn't till 6.45!!! @ChampooPapi

@ChampooPapi it was this one.....
2nd hand but amazing condition, to can tell it's been very well looked after. Came with everything pictured plus a cosy toes.

It went straight up in the attic, cannot wait to use it

@Pe4nutsmum cool scan! Keep us updated with your results lovely

@nearlyamummyof3 two scans in one day though is kind of fantastic right!

@kkr168 oh yes this one is gorgeous, lovely basinet as well 💝

Need your opinion on something. I'm not a negative person and try to see the best in everything but today we held a social distance family gathering as my family and his have never really met and wanted them to becauseof the baby. So his sister arrives and is visibly pregnant and announced she is 18 weeks am I being unreasonable to be a little annoyed obviously I congratulated her etc and acted like normal

@roro87 were you planning on telling them then? It's a bit annoying having your thunder stolen but it's the kind of annoyance you can't really admit to other than on here lol

No they knew but was more a heads up would have been nice like we rang them to tell them after our scan and they never said anything. like tbf I didn't mind people talking about it etc just made me feel stupid for telling her. like lovely from perspective cousins will be so close

@roro87 I would have expected a heads up beforehand too, especially as you'd told them your news and invited them round (when she's obviously pregnant) but it may be they had reasons you didn't know about (maybe previous miscarriage for example). But I wouldn't dwell on it, it'll definitely be nice to have them close together 😊

@roro87 that's really weird! Presumably the BBQ was supposed to be about your news really as you were hosting. And it would be the first you'd seen everyone.

There's not much you can do about it but they've totally stolen your thunder there. Completely get why you're pissed off.

Yes and all my family were there and didn't really know what to say bar congratulations because they'd never met was just a bit bizzare the more I think of it. I am going to just take it as mistimed and focus on the good that hopefully they will be very close and everything will go well. Also pregnant and sunburned aren't a great combo thought I was very careful

I wouldn't worry @roro87 - sounds like she just hadn't really thought it through. It will be cool for them to grow up together :-)

All my friends are sharing pictures of cocktails on WhatsApp today. I think I was a child the last time I went this long without having a drink. I would like a cold glass of beer right now.

@roro87 good way to look at it. 👍🏼

@eithneblu I had a non alcoholic shandy today - it was actually really good. (apart from not getting you drunk obviously!) Would recommend 😋

Just had my 12 week scan last week even though I'm technically 14 weeks now , can anyone explain to me the whole nub theory thing? I'm becoming abit impatient about wanting to know the gender and all private gender scans that I can see have been put on hold since they're only prioritising medical needs. I've been staring at my scan picture trying to work out what I'm meant to be looking at, is it even an accurate theory in the first place

@Dee96 the nub whispherer on Facebook can tell you. Post a pic and we can all have a little guess.

This is mine, and it suggest Im having a girl because they are paralle, if your nub points up its a boy xx

Yes I used the nub whisperer and the Harmony test confirmed she was right
