@MrsB16 Just to second what @MilsCookie said, that’s deffo a good weight for 32 weeks! My DP is a twin and they were born at 30 weeks weighing 3lbs each! They were kept in for weeks while they’re little lungs developed more, but were totally fine! As adults my DP cycled across America in the toughest bike race in the world, and his brother is the fastest runner I’ve ever known! Clearly being born really little hasn’t held them back in the slightest ❤️

AlviesMam · 27/07/2020 19:09

Wow lots of updates today.

@Ljm0101 so sorry you still don't have an answer.  there's nothing no one can say to make you feel better but we are all here to support you and listen 

@SunnySideUp2020 Congratulations! You got a positive! Stop googling and celebrate this moment it's a happy moment for you!! 🥰

@MrsB16 Glad you are getting the correct care and they are monitoring you, pregnancy is an anxiety rollercoaster! Your in good hands. The best thing to do now is keep calm and breathe Smile

Sooo I'm back to work Thursday , been told today they only want me back one day a week doing admin and the rest of my hours will be furloughed as they don't want me customer facing while pregnant!! Although I'm happy about it I'm going to be sooo bored! I'm living with my in-laws while my house is being renovated and looks like I may still be here when baby is born! So I'm not even in my own surroundings 😔 looks like I'll need to plan my time so I don't go crazy....more time to worry in my own thoughts, glad I have this group to vent to! ❤️

AlviesMam · 27/07/2020 19:10

@BecsterG it would be great to see your 3D scan when you get it done. How exciting GrinGrin

ChampooPapi · 27/07/2020 19:30

@Ljm0101 just devastating for you, I'm so sorry lovely. It's just so difficult to have to go through again and also so bloody unfair. I hope your partner is supporting you, just let yourself feel this, it's ok to fall apart, it's awful 💜

ChampooPapi · 27/07/2020 19:33

@TerribleImagination welcome to girl club 🤸‍♀️💜 very pleased to see your update!

@SunnySideUp2020 a gazillion yays 💞💞💞

BS9790 · 27/07/2020 19:51

@SunnySideUp2020 whoop! So happy to see you here 😁😁

@BecsterG... I'd like to see your 3d scan pics too if you're willing to share when you've had it!

I've got an nhs scan at 28 weeks, then think we will book 3D one for the week after. I hope he doesn't have my nose 🤣

BecsterG · 27/07/2020 20:28

@BS9790 @ChampooPapi @AlviesMam of course I will be happy to share them with you. Fingers crossed all is good and we see our boy. I think it's going to be very surreal to see his wee face. God I too hope he doesn't have my nose and instead has my husbands perfect wee nose! 😂

AlviesMam · 27/07/2020 21:15

@BS9790 you think we will still get a good 3D pic due to our placentas?!
I'm going to ask when booking lol xx

ChampooPapi · 27/07/2020 21:29

Can't wait to see @BecsterG, so exciting for you both ☺️💜

BS9790 · 27/07/2020 21:52

@AlviesMam, I was reading up on the best time to have one and a few things said if you have anterior placenta then it's better before 30/32 weeks but I think that's if it's low anterior! I really hope so!!
Are you getting more consistent movement now?

@BecsterG, I imagine it's very surreal! But amazing! So exciting! X

AlviesMam · 27/07/2020 21:58

@BS9790 yeah she moves every morning and every evening still not very strong but some movements do move my stomach SmileOccasionally she moves during the day. I never go a day without feeling her so I feel abit calmer. I was a size 12-14 before being pregnant so I think my weight could be a factor of not feeling them as strong! Counting down until my growth scan now xx

ChampooPapi · 27/07/2020 22:07

I'll be updating the list tomorrow ladies 😊 another week we march (or waddle) onwards 🙌

AlviesMam · 27/07/2020 23:31

Argh baby is kicking really low down it's freaking me out. Is this normal? I feel like there's pressure low down and sure her foot or arm is going to come out of my vag the way this is feeling!
I think she's kicking my cervix. I wonder what position she's in Confused

AlviesMam · 27/07/2020 23:31

@ChampooPapi wooo love your list Grin

Whiffle77 · 28/07/2020 07:56

All my kicks are low down @AlviesMam its very odd! I googled it and it seemed to be normal but I've always got something to worry about! Mine boots my bladder an awful lot too which is lovely. She must be "stood up" if she is booting round your cervix?

BS9790 · 28/07/2020 08:03

@AlviesMam, most of my movements are morning and evening too. I can see lots of mine on the outside but only if they're at the sides. I still don't think my bump is that big which might be why I can see/feel them more.

Yes...!! Foot straight down and kicking.... Ive been getting that loads this last week or so! 3am having sat having a wee whilst he's kicking straight down 😬 was not enjoyable! X

SunnySideUp2020 · 28/07/2020 09:33

@ChampooPapi i might join the list next Tuesday when i am 5 weeks 😇

MilsCookie · 28/07/2020 10:52

Love seeing the list grow with names and see the weeks tick by... thank you @ChampooPapi 😘🌈🌈🌈

ChampooPapi · 28/07/2020 15:46

@SunnySideUp2020 yes! Good for you, being on a list is not going to jinx anything and you should take enjoyment where you can lovely, the first 8 weeks can be a bloody nightmare, sickness and anxiety wise it gets 'real' that is for certain. Being positive about these things can be really a bit of a lifeline I found. When are you having your first scan? I would pers advise waiting till 8 weeks if you can as it's exactly between now and the 12 week one, and post 8 weeks very very good outcomes of you see what you need to see. Though I know some people need to have ones at 6 weeks to check everything is in the right place, and you may be planning on doing both!

ChampooPapi · 28/07/2020 15:47

@MilsCookie you'll be twenty weeks before you know it 💜

ChampooPapi · 28/07/2020 15:48

Also oh my god @MrsB16 over 32 weeks now! Your having a baby so soon now! 🙌👣

MrsB16 · 28/07/2020 16:03

Thank you everyone for your messages yesterday. It was quite scary, up until that point most of my reasons for being anxious I felt were in my head but this was a medical professional expressing a concern which completely threw me off especially as it was just a routine appointment. With it being Covid as well I had to drive straight from my appointment to the hospital on my own as my husband couldn’t come in so I didn’t bother going home to get him and driving through London is bad enough even when you don’t have high BP!

I had a good cry to my husband last night as the anxiety and everything just felt like it was getting to much again but I feel a bit more in control again today. I’ve spent the day with my legs raised and taking my BP every 4 hours and they have all been in normal range so just hoping yesterday was a bit of a blip! I’m also reassured by having appointments every 2 weeks now which I’m hoping will help.

It was reassuring to have the growth scan as well as everything seemed fine although she was so big now I could barely make anything out but I’m happy she already appears to be quite a good weight so my placenta is still working well at the moment.

@BecsterG I was hoping to finish work on 28 August as I had 3 weeks of annual leave to use and then start my maternity leave on my due date but work is very busy at the moment so I’ve agreed to stay an extra week until 4 September so my last day is when I am 37+4. I don’t really mind as I have been working from home since March anyway and the extra week has a bank holiday in it so I only have to do another 4 days. I just want as much time off as possible afterwards so I’m glad I have some A/L to use first. But I only have 4 full weeks of work left now!

@ChampooPapi I know we are all wishing the time away but September really can’t come quick enough now! Hopefully I will be the first (or second if @BecsterG beats me to it!) to be posting pictures of all our beautiful babies!

SunnySideUp2020 · 28/07/2020 16:37

@ChampooPapi i had the exact same reasoning. Want a scan at 8 weeks. Because at least i will know where i stand then! Will do it when in Reunion island visiting my mum.

I am on holiday in France currently and got a cyst on my vagina since a week almost now... so went to gynecology emergencies and she told me i had to monitor the cust in case it gets infected but she also prescribed a standard blood test and urine for first trimester here. I think she was concerned that i have no midwife since i am not back until mid September.
So had the bloods done today mainly looking for infectious diseases and toxoplasmosis, red blood cells, sugars and all the normal things.
I also had to do urine tests.
I added hcg and progesterone levels 😈 just to make sure 😅

Also can't really figure out how far i am. Differents answers from apps and nhs website.

LMP was 27/06
I ovulated on 14/07
And AF is due tomorrow.
What do you think??????
