💚 extra scans ❤️ 12w scans 🧡 20w scans

Well I'm this close to demolishing a full tube of Pringles 👀😂 think it has begun!

Hey everyone ❤️ sorry I've been MIA - my mental health needed a break from MN, social media and the evils of Dr Google! How are you all getting on? ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I had to gonouf today and buy some wireless bras cos my boobs are killing!! But im so happy cos I needed bigger ones!! 🤣🤣

I had decent boobs before my 1st baby but they have gotten smaller after each dc so I will take what I can when I can 🤣🤣 even though they can't be touched etc at the moment at least I have some for a while haha xx

Well we mossed out at the auction, thought we had got it as all other bidders stopped, auctioneer took his jacket off waited a bit then suddenly this old man decided he would carry on bidding against up...upping it another £20,000 going over our budget 😭 so close yet so far. Dream house will come up soon. Issue is outs is sold 😬
Anyway thats how my weekend is starting 🙈 house hunting continues.
Loving all the bump photos, ill join in when I have one 🙈

Ahh @blodyn91 sorry to hear you're still hunting!! The perfect one WILL come along!

How far along are you now? I'm 9+1 and DH, MIL and I think I'm showing already! It's crazy - my tummy was pretty flat before this but maybe it's because my exercise has taken a sharp downturn!

Should have said - The first pic above is from the day after I got my first positive test (10dpo) and then the other is yesterday!

Hi guys - sorry been reeling after the new yesterday in Croydon. I'm absolutely gutted and had to take a day to regroup.

@MrsEmilyB You look lovely.

@blodyn91 Glad the conversation with your boss went well. It's a relief to get it out there.

@Sausage1990 With bras I'm just getting the primark ones without wire - they are cheap and you're going to go up a few sizes before you get to the end of pregnancy!! No point in buying expensive bras to last just a few weeks.

@Mococo1 True heaven is maternity lounge wear! I'm not brave enough to leave the house in it though.

@MrsEmilyB Your little bump is so cute ❤️ my belly was already quite big so I can't notice a bump as such yet but I do feel it's more 'round' although could also be from all the food 🤣

@blodyn91 Ah that's so crap being outbid! Although disappointing to miss out this time, your dream house is still waiting for you!!

So I have made it to 12 weeks finally!!! (Tomorrow by LMP but today of going off what the sonographer said at my private scan, will find out for sure at dating scan). Baby is now the size of a kiwi/lime 👶🏼

OH has just got a promotion with a big pay rise and my salary goes up slightly next month as part of annual reviews, I only have one more week at work before my first full week off since before March lockdown, included in that week off is my 30th birthday, and I have my dating scan in just over a week so feels like a happy time at the moment and excited to see baby again soon 🥰

Everyone's bumps are so cute! Im going to be the size of a house! (No pun intended @blodyn91 🤣)

6+3 (until I get my dating scan at least) but think its cos its my 4th dc and my muscles are f**d 🤣 im usually size 8 to 10 but not forcing now. Got a hair bobble holding jeans together now 🤦‍♀️🤣🤣 xx

Just having one of them days today where everything just pisses me off and I am
So bored but I don't want to do anything lmao

@zippityzip @Sausage1990 I've been buying non wired bras from M&S - they do these supportive sleep crop tops which are seam free and have been a godsend! 😍

@ltay2 - not convinced mine isn't a food baby 😂 gained 4.5lbs already! The snacking is real. Congrats to your OH! 🎉

Oh wow @Catherinettc your body knows exactly what to do!! 😍 No hiding! Have you announced it yet?

@SmileyT had a 9 week scan yesterday and dates changed again so I'm EDD 29.04.21 now 😊 baby B looks like a baby hippo! We got a video with the heartbeat too. It was amazing.

I've had my midwife booking appointment now but it was over the phone! So got to go to a separate clinic next week for bloods and waiting for my scan date to come through. In your experience ladies, is it likely to be at 12 weeks or is it usually later?

@MrsEmilyB no announcement yet. A lot of people know as u can see i can't really hide it 🤦‍♀️🤣 but I live in Northern Ireland and most of my friends and family are in Glasgow so after my scan on Wednesday I think I might. Dont want friends finding out from people I've bumped into (another pun 🤣🤣) and also hubby cant wait any longer to tell everyone 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Your scan is so so cute! I love the early ones as everyone's is different shapes and sizes! Xx

@SmileyT I said I would ask if u would jump back onto the ttc thread to say hello. They are all missing u like crazy lol xx

My happy bubble has slightly burst don't know whether I should be concerned or not but I am 😭 just been to the loo and had the tiniest bit of blood with tiny clot in in underwear. It's the first and only blood I've noticed ever along the way but it was definitely red and not brown/pink. I do have a few crampy feelings but I was more putting it down to the heavy takeaway pizza I had last night unsettling my stomach as it's really not that noticeable. Should I be ringing someone? I don't know if I'm overreacting!

@Ltay2 I would always get it checked out
Even though the likelihood is that it’s benign I don’t think you’ll settle until you know x

I've tried to ring EPU but they aren't open today, back open tomorrow morning at 8.30am. I guess I'll just have to wait I don't know what else to do 🤷🏼‍♀️ it's worrying but I am in no pain and had no more bleeding since so hoping it's all ok.

@MrsEmilyB hey welcome back. I was getting worried about you as you'd been so quiet. I'm glad you're feeling better tho and a break from MN is sometimes what we need. Love your little baby hippo 💕 and your bump is so pronounced already 😲 I'm nearly 11 weeks and have no bump yet just the bloated feeling. Ive actually lost 6lbs since althe beginning because my appetite has been so off. Starting to improve a bit this week tho.

@zippityzip thanks for the primark tip. I don't think they're going to cut it for me as I've already got giant boobs (34G) pre pregancy so I think I'm guna have to spend a little more for some support for work. At home I wear the cheap asda crop tops, they're so comfy but don't give my girls any lift so under work wear I just look like a blob lol. I'll look into the M&S option tho for sure @MrsEmilyB. I'm hoping to breastfeed and my boobs are probably going to be twice the size of my baby's head 😂🙈 #bigboobproblems 🍈🍈

@Ltay2 I agree with @Mustbemad82 and get it checked out. You won't rest until you do so I would. The anxiety of not knowing will make you feel so much worse. Sending a big hug 💕

@blodyn91 ahh sorry about the house. Gutting.. But it clearly wasn't meant to be & there's obviously another house that's just waiting to be your dream house 😊 it will be worth the wait xx

@Ltay2 could you call out of hours or A&E maybe? X

@Sausage1990 I could call 111 I guess, OH suggested doing but I just feel like I'm wasting their time with it being such a tiny amount of blood, smaller than pea size, and me being in no pain. OH is coming home from work for a lunch break soon so will maybe ring after he goes back as I definitely won't settle until I speak to someone!

@Ltay2 when was your last scan? Ive forgotten who all had bleeds showing up on their scans. Sounds promising that it was a tiny amount and has now stopped?

@MrsEmilyB Well my 11 week bump is like your belly at 10dpo 🙈 non existent!

Ive also had a good cry today, I was fine about the house, but suddenly just felt like life is bloody crap at times. I then read into low RHR too much, mine has dropped so much its lower than what it was pre pregnancy 😫 Need this scan on Monday to hurry up, I ve never worried over something this much ever before!

@blodyn91 My last scan was at 9 weeks on 6th September and all was perfect then so that's something! My next scan is a week on Monday but now dreading it rather than excited. The bleeding has stopped there was only one tiny spot so think I have worked myself up over nothing really. Obviously I told OH but now his worry has made me even more worried so wish I hadn't mentioned it now 🙈 I've rang 111 and they have referred me through to the out of hours doctor so just waiting for a call back to be sure as EPU are closed today.

Awww @blodyn91 it's ok to have a cry. Sometimes it makes you feel better and sometimes we just need to wallow. Plus hormones. I've had a few crying days tbh and I don't know why. Im trying my best not to get too nervous for Monday too... DH is as cool as a cucumber about it all and is like it will all be fine. And I'm like yeaj I know but inside I'm like 😩😬😭😣

@Ltay2 I'm glad you called 111 and are waiting a call back. The reassurance will be helpful... And hopefully it will help DH calm down a bit too so you don't have that to deal with on top of it. Xx

@Sausage1990 I'm glad I rang, I was worried they would fob me off with it being such a small bleed but both people I spoke to were really nice and helpful. I've just spoken to the out of hours GP she said it sounds like it's just normal/common pregnancy spotting and probably nothing to worry about. She's sent an urgent report through to my local GP that will get actioned on Monday for them to arrange me a scan with EPU next week just to be sure, and then I'd have my planned dating scan the following week anyway so that's good. Just more time for OH to negotiate off work but luckily his boss knows and is very supportive so hopefully won't be a problem.

@Sausage1990 yep definitely made me feel better. Went for a 30mins easy run with my dog after and just done my pelvic floor exercises 💆🏼‍♀️ OH fetched me my fave pizza (has to be from Aldi 😆) now will eat that whilst watching a film...any recommendations on Netflix? (OH has gone to his mages and Im too scared to invite friends over as its Saturday and they would bring wine) 🙈
