@Onekidnoclue There are almost hourly posts. I can't keep up but catch the odd informative post.

Yeah 2 babies so far in the January due which I'm guessing is 29-33 weeks ish!

How exciting! I hope mums and babies are doing well. I’m definitely not expecting a 2020 baby, let alone one in November!!

Maybe I need to join the Facebook group after all to see what's going on?

I've not managed to get on the group. Is it a closed group? Could somebody possibly send a link?

I am also not expecting a 2020 baby even though I am due early January. Hope they are doing well!!

Hi, I've been reading for a little while but haven't posted yet - I'm at 29 and 5 and it's starting to feel very real Smile
@198435years I have been using a full body pregnancy pillow since about 16 weeks and I love it! I need something to prop my head/upper body up as having terrible heartburn and my hips/legs are v painful if I don't get a big part of the cushion between my knees. It also helps me stay on my side. I have tried sleeping without it a couple of nights and it's been a disaster. Would recommend! Though it does take up a lot of space and changing the cover on it turns into a bit of a comedy sketch ...

@BabyG123 hi! Yes I’m on there too and it is certainly a lot busier than here ☺️ Just wanted to check in as I don’t think all these ladies are on that one.

I’ll be 30wks on Friday! All feeling much more real now! Finally have a changing bag which I think I will use as Babba’s hospital bag too. Still need to sort pram and car seat!

@onekidnoclue I have all those lovely symptoms too plus pelvic pain in certain sitting positions 😣 hardly sleep much at all now with frequent wees and changing position so I guess my body is training me for nightfeeds lol

Aww @Tink2020 lovely scan of your girl 😍 I had a 4D at 28 weeks too and my boy was estimated 2lb10 which I thought was big but now I've realised he's not lol, was really hard to get a pic because he hides away during scans but looks like he's smiling here haha

Would it be possible to be added to the Facebook group??

Also when are people planning on packing their hospital bag and setting the car seat up? I want to be prepared but not over prepared like a crazy momma 😂 (I'm a worrier)
Lush to hear everyone is doing well

These 4d scans are fantastic! I think we’ll do the faffing next month. Washing the clothes, building the cot, then leave the bits like putting in the car seat etc which don’t take long until the last week or so. I’m so uncomfortable I’m convinced this baby will be late 😂

Had a growth scan today and it says baby has a low birth weight. Below the 10th centile. They are going to monitor it and have me back (3 weeks - so aren't rushing me back which is good). Has anyone else had this?

@198435years I haven't had that before sorry but I bet if you do a mumsnet search there will be lots of threads about it.

I have the opposite worry and baby is above 100 percentile. I've been having lots of growth scans but it's just getting bigger and more off the scale. The main thing is we are both being monitored.

I have a scan Tuesday. Do you feel comfortable with your consultant?

@Onekidnoclue I'm sure on dates but they moved me forward a week at my dating scan. So I think it's always been big since before then.
Next scan is Tuesday so hopefully things have levelled out a bit.

@footprintsintheslow

I've never met with the same consultant twice yet. I might start asking for the same but don't want that to delay any appointments by doing that. I do feel fine with the consultants I've seen though.
