Pregnancy group for anyone due in March 2021 💜

@PhotoMum4 @ValidUser lovely bump photos! Sadly I don't think I'll have a visible bump for a while as I'm a bigger gal. But as long as I get one I'm happy!

@chloxhunt Don't worry I know you weren't ignoring me! Hope work is going okay for you! ❤️

@holb54 thanks for the tag not sure why I didn't get a notification as I normally do... also search didn't find anything- kept finding a March from 2016?!

Bumps look good- I can't wait to get a bump and actually feel where the baby is, I can feel it inside (like intuitively not actually poking anything in lol) but nothing from the outside yet

@holb54 thank you!

@PhotoMum4 @ValidUser wow awesome bumps! Mine is only there when I’ve eaten haha

@holb54 thanks for tagging me! Can't believe how many threads we've gone through already!! 😂

Thanks for the new thread. Those are some lovely bumps! I can see that I'm 'deeper' (I look normal face on so not really 'wider') but I just look bloated. Trousers are tight but I've not changed yet.

Had a quick call with the MW yesterday. 11days til my 1st scan and partners not allowed in yet. 🤞
I get regular constipation, it's an existing problem for me. MW said stool softeners are OK to use, it's gonna get worse and that I should drink 3 litres a day. I usually have half that so it's a challenge! (if useful for anyone to know this advice).

@Thack I was given lactulose but what worked better than anything was prune juice! It's not the nicest but it definitely works. I found that out on here, loads of people recommended it and it worked for me. I was willing to try anything!

Thanks for starting a new thread and for the add!

Love seeing bump pictures almost as much as scan pics! I'm prone to bloating so I don't look any different to my normal shape yet.

I'm probably going mad but I swear I felt the baby move tonight. I was at dinner and sitting slightly hunched forward and really low down in the centre of my belly it felt like there was a slippery little fish squirming for just a couple of seconds - the oddest feeling and something I've never felt before. I had some bubbles a week ago that I brushed off as wind, and a strange vibrating feeling a few days later that I put down to stretching muscles/ligaments.

I'm 13 weeks today and first pregnancy so it seems unlikely, but the feeling has really stayed with me!

@Thack I'm struggling to drink tap water I don't know why so i keep having to buy new bottles of water each time otherwise I just can't drink it

Those are lovely bumps! Makes me feel better about mine too, definitely showing earlier second time round. Already in maternity jeans and occasionally squeezing into old jeans with bump bands if anyone is looking for a solution for the "not just a food baby" stage!

Last pregnancy I was getting through a bottle of lactulose every 2 weeks so I'll take any tips! How did you stomach the prune juice though?!

@Thack I second prunes! I started having them every morning with breakfast when I found out I was pregnant and thankfully no constipation so far.

Thanks for the add!

@Usplusone I put it with ice and down the glass in one 😂 weirdly ice did make it less vile. So worth it in the end though

"Bump" is on the left ass is on the right !! Igs literally tiny.......seriously worried that there is nothing in there.....

I swear by prunes to. They really helped me.

@ChilternsHan I felt something weird when eating tonight too. It felt like a bubble popping xx

Please can I join? I’m due 26th March and have my 12 week scan this week!

Lovely bump pics guys!

I am so uncomfortable in leggings and have lost a stone now due to hyperemesis so maybe my stomach is becoming more bump than just belly! 🐷

Welcome @mrswx and @Tomatoandbasil 😊

@Thack keep checking - and even if you get a letter close to the time that says no DPs, phone and check on the day before or the day because even though I was told DH can come I then got my appointment letter which said no DPs so I called to double check and he was allowed to come (that was for my early scan).
12 week scan on Monday and that letter also says no DPs even though it's way after my first scan and they are allowed.

It's such a shame because there are lots of women who won't think to phone and question it when they have a letter saying no, but the rules are changing so often now that it is always worth a wee call to check just before scan day!

Thanks for add! Lovely bump pics. Mine is non existent yet but I am on the chub side lol.

@Phie04 I can second that, not sure what's bump or belly 😂😂

@ChubbyMumFromSkye I'm going to call the day before my scan to see if DH can come in, but we're from Leicester, so I doubt it sadly. People at high risk are still stuck shielding for at least another two weeks thanks to local lockdown. 😔

Thanks @holb54 !

@PhotoMum4 your bump looks amazing!! I can't wait to have a proper bump!

All the things i've read keep saying 'you won't be showing yet, and not for a little while' but my bloating popped out pretty instantly and I couldn't button up my jeans by 6 weeks.

@spierse i'm small too and thats what my belly looks like in the morn, by evening it's popped out more as i'm just so bloated, but so good to see bumps on here! I was a bit conscious and wondering whyy am i showing so early when 'normal women' don't show till later.

This is the only photo i've taken so far, I am looking forward to documenting the ever growing belly though!

Thanks for the new thread x

Hello can I join? Due 1st March with my 3rd. Love seeing the bump pictures. I look about 7m pregnant already as my body has just seemed to have gone 'oh we're doing this again ok... expand!'
What I'm finding unnerving is that I felt my 2nd move at 13w which sounds ridiculous but I really could feel the flutters Im nearly 15w with this one and not feeling anything I know for sure is baby. I know this is all normal but I was expecting similar. Except I should know better as my last two pregnancies weren't similar either. I also bled quite a bit and had to have another scan and baby was fine but it just adds to my unease. I cannot wait for the 20w scan to hopefully find everything is ok!
