If I have missed you! Sorry!

@roarfeckingroar that's brilliant :) I ve not met mine yet, just seen 3 different ones at the hospital but the gp nurse seems to think she's lovely.

Hi all been a bit quite recently I've been followingthough. Here's my bump 22 tomorrow.

Such a cute little bump @Clalou83 🥰

Gorgeous @Clalou83 !

This was mine yesterday (24+2 - hadn't quite gotten dressed yet hence wet hair and beach shorts). I'm surprised I haven't put more weight on - I feel pretty bulbous

Gorgeous bumps 🥰
Scan this morning went well no signs of TTTS, only 3% difference in weight between them. Had to wear a mask at the hospital and get temperature check on arrival - it’s just crazy to think this is the new normal.

@EmmaA96 glad the scan went well :)

Love the bump photos!
This is my bump today (21+3). Was trying to take a selfie, and let me tell you I need longer arms (or a full length mirror..).

Healthy eating going ok here. I crave bread things, like brioche buns 🤤 But I guess fruit is better for the beastie.

@EmmaA96 that's great news! Glad it went well😊 Yeah the mask thing is weird, hate not being able to see people's facial expressions properly.

Is anyone doing this alone? My partner and I just split.

@Elizag20 I’m so sorry to hear it. How are you doing? I hope you take care. I’m pretty sure other ladies are doing this alone too (@DressingGown87 I think you mentioned you were?)

I couldn’t remember whether you were the lady with a partner who was going over to his ex...?

Anyway most important is that you take care! Chat away here to us! x

@Elizag20 aw hun, how are you holding up?
You can absolutely do this, I know that. You and the little one are going to be just fine.
You hang in there xx

Hi both.

I'm not doing too great. I even called a BPAS for a consult today. I'm dealing with prenatal depression and I'm not sure if I can carry on. 24 weeks on Monday so not a lot of time for me to get my head around the situation.

@Elizag20
That's awful I really feel for you. Always here if you need to talk! Really hope BPAS are kind and helpful. Do you have any other family support to lean on during this time?

Lovely bump photo ladies! will post mine later today! Dreamt last night about my belly button popping out, which it hasn't yet, just seems to have stretched.

@1990shopefulftm Hope your ok, hopefully things will be more settled by October. Maybe speak to your midwife. I've not started thinking about the unknown yet, and until they give me confirmation on things I am leaving it. But this is something perinatal are working on me with, so if I get any tips, or helpful advise I will pass it on.

@Elizag20 Sorry to hear your in this situation, and really do hope your ok. I am single too, all I can say is that the support from the midwifes has been amazing. They keep telling me I am not alone, there are many women out there who do this alone and make amazing mums. I have been diagnosed with perinatal depression. But WE can do this, and we can carry on. There are bad days and good. I am also 24 weeks on Tuesday. PM if you want to talk a bit more, and I can see if I can help / advise / listen with what I have been through.

@DressingGown87 I m doing a bit better today, thank you :) . I ll speak to a midwife nearer the time, I guess I don't want them telling me it's too soon and I m being irrational.

@Elizag20 this immediate period is going to sick, there is no sugarcoating it, but it's important to remember that you will get through it and everything will be ok.
Please get in touch with your midwife and let her know what's going on. There is support available, please don't feel like you are alone. Xx

Suck, not sick..

Lovely bumps ladies, I feel like my bump is quite small especially as I was told at my scan that baby is measuring big!! This is me today at 21+5.
I've put nearly a stone on , my eating habits have totally changed with not been at work! I'm also loving ice creams so that's not helping 😂😂

@BS9790 oh ice-cream, yum! Especially in this glorious weather!

Loving all the bump pics!

@BS9790
I'm definitely with you on the icecream especially with this hot weather as well!

Here’s mine! Feel rather big, for someone who has been told to expect a small baby!!

@Elizag20 sorry to hear that - did the split come out of nowhere or did you see it coming? How are you feeling about it today? Don't rush with BPAS - you're not alone, millions of women do this, we are here to talk to.

@roarfeckingroar after months of him saying he wants to do it with me he's decided he doesn't want to be a full time dad so that means us splitting up. I was having doubts about having the child a long time ago but he said we'd make it work.

@roarfeckingroar I have to rush with BPAS. They've given me dates if I want to go ahead with it - it would be an appointment on Saturday and one on Sunday both in London - I live in the north west. Sunday is the last day I could do it, I'm 24 weeks on Monday.

Hi ladies, hope your okay. My appointments at 12 I'm currently sitting in the hospital car park, will go inside in a minute but I just had a horrible break down I really hope everything is okay with him 😭😭 I'm so nervous i feel physically sick
