Pregnancy group for anyone due in March 2021 💜

Congrats @Calgoose great picture, baby is properly laid out!

@chloxhunt mine was the same in that I'd filled my bladder too much and the baby was squished into a sitting up position when they want it lying down, so I'd definitely recommend going steady with the water! Hopefully first thing it wouldn't be too full from previous water drinking though.

@ChilternsHan yeah exactly! I'm going to drink to glasses of water and hope that's enough! I'm getting nervous now but I've had no indication that I've lost it but still

@Calgoose Aw cute scan!

Thank you everyone - I think I’m still in shock everything is ok!
@Enjoy07 yes I’m just so nosey I can’t wait until 20 weeks! I didn’t find out with my first but did with my second and I honestly think it helped me so much mentally knowing what I was having! I’m thinking of booking one when I will be 16+6 (I’d have gone a few days earlier but no scans available). No doubt they will have their legs crossed!! Do you have an inkling what you’re having?

@MrsAndMrs ALL my instincts say boy (I’ve already got one of each - they are 13 and 12 though!). I was hoping there might be a sight of a nub to help but no such luck. We will be delighted either way

I know I won't be able to wait until 20 weeks! DH is happy for us to book a private scan at 16 weeks, probably 16+6 as they actually do scans on Saturdays, which is perfect for me since I work at a school!

Congratulations on the scans! Super cute!

Today I had a random stranger congratulate me on being pregnant!!! So I guess it's safe to say I'm showing, I do look huge today though! Just hoping and praying it's good news at my scan next week this time! 🤞🏻 They seriously are so nerve wracking!

12 weeks and 1 day today- due 24th March all looking good!

Lovely scan @Taylortyler! Glad all is well!

@Taylortyler lovely scan picture 🤗

@Taylortyler lovely picture! 😍 congrats!!

@KatyCherry23 I have been very bad at keeping up on this today but just read your update and I am thrilled for you!

@Calgoose and @Taylortyler congratulations to you both! Lovely pics 😊

I have been reading all the posts about how hard the sonographer presses down and I am bricking it! I have been so scared to even knock my stomach recently, so somebody pressing down is going to make me cringe 😖 I know it can’t hurt baby, I’m just being a dimwit! xxx

@Taylortyler lovely picture congratulations!

Has anyone noticed themselves put weight on?? I don't know how much is normal! I've put 5lbs since finding out and I'm only 10+3 😳😥

Does the tiredness ever go away??

Congrats to the both of you on scans!!

@JTB123 yes. I looked in the mirror today and was horrified. I lost loads of weight due to not eating and nausea at the beginning and now BAM gone up a dress size. Not sure if its bloat but I don't feel bloated... and theres no bump yet 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Rosehips89 how far along are you?

@Mrs1989 I'm inclined to hold fat around my stomach, so I think that also impacts how hard they need to press to get a clearer pic...as well as a slightly sleepy baby that didn't want to move at first. I'm sure it's not quite like that for everyone!

When it's onscreen you've got the reassurance of seeing that the pressing barely makes your uterus move, never mind bumping baby.

@Rosehips89 I think we will all be tired for the next 18 years 😂😂 I wake up after a 10/12 hour sleep and then within 3-4 hours I feel like I need to nap! I'm currently in the bath and the warmth has made me so sleepy

@JTB123 no i struggle to gain weight and when I do i seem to lose it straight away 😂 i keep measuring myself though but I'm still in my normal range

@Rosehips89 never i guess 😂 if I don't nap I'll get ill in the evening

@Phie04 SAME HERE!!! I'm in the middle and I keep thinking I'm only eating what I'm normally eating!! If not less crap because I haven't wanted it! And now ... more rolls 😳😂 I'm 4.11 so super short and was 7.5 stone when u found out now 8 stone and because I'm short it bloody shows 😩🤣

@JTB123 aye I'm 4"9 😂

@JTB123 tbf though my belly already looked like i was pregnant before anyways 😂

@chloxhunt short gal problems haha id look like a model if I was 6ft 🤣

@JTB123 I tell myself that too 😂 I've got an arched back so everything seems to sit forward making it look like I'm pregnant 😂
