@savanahxx yes it’ll be hard but so worth it☺️, sorry to hear about your MMCs, I can’t even imagine how awful that must’ve been 💔 x

I didn't really think much about being a young mum, I hadn't really thought much about it. But last year I was told It was highly unlikely I'd conceive as at 23 I was going through early menopause ☹️ as soon as they said that, that was it. I wanted/needed a baby!!! My partner is 32 so we started trying right away.

Here I am with my little miracle baby. Five weeks and 5 days left. 💕

Hi all!🥰 I am 22 and 15 weeks today! I have a gender scan booked in 10 days I'm super excited x

Awkes · 10/06/2020 21:25

Aw @Amyyy1think you’re on one of the other chats I’m in! I’m 15+1 so almost due date buddies. Fingers crossed all goes well for your scan! I’ve got 2 weeks to wait for mine, dying to know!

SavanahXx · 10/06/2020 22:28

@Chl00 it was a really tough time. we go to the baby garden each year and lay flowers though, to keep their memory alive!x

How are you all finding your pregnancies so far? I hope everything is smooth sailing for everyone xx

Amyyy1 · 11/06/2020 09:16

@Awkes Yes!! Ah almost due date buddies how exciting 😁 2 weeks will fly by and before you know it you'll be finding out 😍

I had ANOTHER dream last night that I was having a little girl it's all I seem to be dreaming about atm even though I genuinely don't mind what I have as Im a FTM lol x

Amyyy1 · 11/06/2020 09:17

@SavanahXx The first 13 weeks of my pregnancy was horrendous and I was feeling utter shit, I couldn't keep anything down and was given lots of different medication but none seemed to help and I would wake up 5 times in the night to be sick too and spend the days crying🤣🤣 Since then I have felt soooo much better other than bad headaches a couple times a day and back aches.
How have you found it? Xx

rocknrosie · 11/06/2020 09:45

not sure if i count as i'm 26 lol but i dont feel old... hahaha

FTM and am 26w tomorrow x

Noti23 · 11/06/2020 09:51

Hey everyone, I’m not pregnant but my son is 18 months now. I was 21 having him and I’m nearly 23 now. Let me know if you need any advice or have any questions :)

Amyyy1 · 11/06/2020 10:33

@Noti23 Have you taken your LO to any baby groups yet?? It's a long way off for me but I worry I will turn up and everyone will be older than me and I'll become isolated and unable to make local mummy friends! How have you found it? X

SavanahXx · 11/06/2020 11:25

@Amyyy1 that sounds awful! I'm so glad that you feel much better now! It will all be worth it when you have your bundle of joy in your arms! And I've had a tricky pregnancy this time. I've been in hospital a few times with huge bleeds. I had a sub chorionic bleed. So bled up until i was around 16 weeks which was beyond scary! Luckily I haven't bled since, I have to have extra growth scans because of the bleeds, and I'm now classed as high risk. Definitely alot different compared to my pregnancy with my little girl. I had my 25 week appointment 2 weeks ago and found out that bump is measuring above the 90th centile. So I'm growing a monster, which probably explains why I'm so drained and feel awful 24/7 😂😂xx

denbyellie · 11/06/2020 11:29

I'm 21 and I'm 30 weeks pregnant ❤️ so glad you made this fees feel like people can be condescending sometimes x

Amyyy1 · 11/06/2020 11:58

@SavanahXx Oh bless you, sounds like you've had quite the stressful journey! It'll all be worth it when your lil baby is in your arms though - fingers crossed for you it's a little more smooth sailing in the next weeks!!!! X

SavanahXx · 11/06/2020 12:38

@Amyyy1 it was stressful to get to this point, but I feel so blessed to have them! And I hope the same for you too :D How long have you got till you find out the gender? Xx

Amyyy1 · 11/06/2020 14:55

@SavanahXx I bet it does feel so good to see how far you've come from that! It must have been a very scary time. It's booked for 20th so not long to go😬 x

Chl00 · 11/06/2020 16:29

Afternoon everyone, how you all feeling today? My OH was lucky enough to feel the baby kick last night and counting down the days the find out the gender and see my little wiggly bubba again x

Amyyy1 · 12/06/2020 15:03

@Chl00 Wow, how far along are you? Can't wait until I can feel my baby kick but I have an anterior placenta so think I've got a while to go!! X

Chl00 · 12/06/2020 18:00

@Amyyy1 20 weeks today, how about you? X

starsdelight · 12/06/2020 18:07

Hello girls hope you don't mind me joining. I'm 22 and nearly 35 weeks pregnant with my second. Had my first at 18 who is now nearly 3 😁 hope your all doing well x

Amyyy1 · 12/06/2020 19:13

@Chl00 15+2, not expecting to be feeling movements until atleast 23 weeks tbh I hope sooner though!🥰

@starsdelight Congrats! When is your due date? X

Chl00 · 12/06/2020 22:31

@Amyyy1 fingers crossed 🤞 it is magical ☺️, today it hasn’t really moved much but I have been very uncomfortable with stretching cramps and I know they have quiet days so I’m trying not to worry x

Hi everyone! I'm 23 and currently 34+5 with my second baby boy! My DS will be 2 in a week tomorrow 💙

Lulubon · 13/06/2020 10:07

@Amyyy1 I also have an anterior placenta but I've had 'flutters' since 16 weeks. Hopefully you'll feel them soon x

Amyyy1 · 13/06/2020 11:56

@Lulubon that's reassuring!! I hope the same happens for me x

Lulubon · 13/06/2020 11:59

@Amyyy1 I was really worried when they said I had an anterior placenta because I really wanted that reassurance due to my ridiculously high anxiety but seems to be consistent enough to be kicks to me x
