Lots of upcoming scans to be arranged. Here's our current list:

@JennyMY Wed 12th August 2pm
@Sakura54 Tues 18th August 3.40pm
@SmileyT Monday 7th September 9am
@DanceM1 Monday 24th August 2pm

@Sakura54 Great that you have all of your dates already! Crazy that your 20 week scan will be, I assume, around October time, that really doesn’t feel that far away and you’ll be half way through! Thanks for the dentist info, will look in to it ☺️

@bubblybon20 I’ve had some light cramping the last few days, too. I’m choosing to believe my body is just stretching again as I’m aching everywhere!

@SkyBlue20 hope so but I just don't feel very positive about it, feel a different sort of cramping ☹️

@bubblybon20 I've had had cramps today. Like really long dull cramps. Feels like period pain. I never got this far last time and I can't remember this 3 years goo with DD.

I'm thinking it's just stuff stretching

Ladies.. quick question.. ive put a pizza in the oven but now worrying because i can't find out too much about one of the cheeses on it... its regato cheese (1 of 3 so can't be huge amounts anyway). Ive looked online and its a hard cheese made from cows milk but apparently has quite high levels of vitamin A. Does anyone know anything about this or does anyone have any thoughts? I think it will be fine really as its not like I'm having a block of it but just feeling a bit paranoid!

@bubblybon20 and @ew1990 im sure your cramps are just signs of growth! Hope you are not worrying too much. I havent had cramps as such but have definitely had more twinges the last couple of days and I think (hope) it is just growing pains! Xx

@DanceM1 I don't think you should worry about it, as like you say would only be a small amount!
Thankyou, @ew1990 they have eased off slightly now! So must just be growing.. I don't feel as bloated today too. So that could also be why! 🤣

@dancem1 id eat it.

@bubblybon20 mine come and go but not worrying. And I'm not bloated today either. X

@bubblybon20 thank you!!

@ew1990 thanks, I've gone for it. Honestly if somebody else had asked me that I'd be like course you can! But I've just become this ridiculous worrier!!🙈 I should probably worry more about the fact that I'm eating crap 🤣

God, I feel awful tonight! Got suddenly starving to the point that I was shaking and my whole body felt weak, have eaten now but still feel really sickly and my legs are so heavy. Have been alright most of the day but this evening hasn’t been nice at all. Think I’m going to head to bed soon, try and sleep it off. Trying my best to identify it as a good thing and just think that the baby must be having a growth spurt!

Awww no @skyblue20 hope a night's sleep helps you feel better!

Had a bit of a panic earlier, for the last week or so my nipples have been so so sore when breastfeeding, like toe curlingly painful when she latches, but then tonight not really sore at all! I still feel nauseous so symptoms haven't all gone but it did worry me.

Glad you are the pizza @danceM1, enjoy it will have been fine! I'm currently starving but can't find anything I actually want to eat, sat with a Cadbury dairy milk dime bar on my lap but even thats not tempting me!

How are your cramps now @bubblybon20? It's almost certainly normal stretching but I know it can be disconcerting. I've had an odd 'heavy' feeling today, guessing it's things growing and stretching...

Oh no @SkyBlue20 definitely get an early night, sounds like you need it! Hope you're ok.

@Workingmama1 thanks! I know i can worry over ridiculous things 🤣 I was like you yesterday... absolutely nothing appealed to me and then suddenly later on, I was like I NEED curry 🤣🙈 hope you manage to eat something!

@SkyBlue20 I've also felt extra hungry the past week!! Like I have dinner, but need loads of snacks in between that and bed time! I've actually been eating about 9-10pm so I don't feel hungry when I go sleep.
Hope you feel better tomorrow xx

@Workingmama1 cramps have calmed down now! Weird, honestly thought the worst as haven't had cramps like that since my mc. But could just be panicking thinking the worse..
I currently have no actual symptoms apart from extra hunger and cramps! My sore nipples have stopped weirdly! 🤨

I can relate to both the hunger and cramps. The cramps scare me but aslong as they are mild I try to stay calm. This morning I put off eating breakfast a bit too long and felt awful. They say you don’t need to eat much more than normal but we feel so hungry so how can that be 😅 I know I would rather listen to my body though xx

Glad scans went okay! I've only been sick once today (in a restaurant... oops!) But small miracles keep building! These anti sickness tablets are a miracle worker!!! 😁😄😁😄

I’ve had many blood tests and bruises in my time but never dark like this, eww lol

@Sakura54 that's crazy!! Hate blood tests 😫

Ouch you got butchered there @Sakura54

@RosieJess91 glad the tablets are working for you 🥰

Feel like I'm going to struggle soon! I seem to fall asleep on my side and then wake up on my back, I find it so so hard to not end up sleeping on my back 🙈 im normally a tummy sleeper so it's been a mission to even get comfy 😫😱

@bubblybon20 I read about this. It says not to worry if you wake up on your back as there’s not much you can do to help that. Obvs turn over once you realise though. If I get that far I think I’d get a pregnancy pillow, maybe cuddling up to that would prevent us rolling onto our backs? X

Morning all! Feeling MUCH better after a good night's sleep, thankfully. Felt so bad last night!

@Workingmama1 My nipples have calmed down also, seems to just be my boobs are huge and a bit sore now but it really varies. I imagine that with breastfeeding you can't rely on your boobs too much as a symptom as there's so much going on there already, so wouldn't worry too much xx

@RosieJess91 So glad you're feeling so much better and that the tablets are working, must be such a relief!

@Sakura54 Ouch! What did they do to you?!!

@bubblybon20 I'm a tummy sleeper, too - read that tummy is still ok at this stage but am trying to get used to sleeping on my side, it's hard! I agree with @Pugprincess that I'll get a pregnancy pillow if and when I get to that stage as it helps stop you from rolling over. Going to be tight in the bed with me, the pillow, DH and the cat though but at least it'll be Autumn/Winter so it won't get too stifling hot!

I'm the same @bubblybon20 always fall asleep on my side, but end up on my back, but I vaguely remember once the bump got bigger that it was easier staying on my side because I couldn't roll so easily anymore!
@Sakura54 that looks so painful, how on earth did they manage to do that?!

@Pugprincess yes going to get one once I feel like I've got a bump appearing! Think defo be easier to stay on my side then!

@SkyBlue20 chuffed you're feeling a bit better today! Hahaha sounds like you'll be cosy! But like you say at least the weather won't be as hot! 😫

@RosieJess91 hopefully I kind of just adjust myself back on my side!🤣🤣

@skyblue20 glad your feeling better.

I Slept for 12 and half hours last night 😴 I'm so tired. Being back at work is draining me.

And I'm 11 weeks today. Another milestone! Feeling slightly queasy this morning but don't want anything to eat so i need to force myself.

Hope everyone else is doing well.
I was a tummy sleeper but since I was pregnant with DD i just always sleep on my side now
