@FairyLights2 Thanks love, she has another appointment today with the specialist so I'll keep you all updated.

I've got plenty more pregnancy memes ๐Ÿ˜‚

@samilicious Yay for team girl!! Congrats. And great deal on the price too!!

@Busybee143 does it feel real now!!! Second trimester whoop.

So I've got up this morning to a note on my car and a pizza delivery driver has smashed into the side of it. My neighbours text (I was asleep at 8.45pm!) Niiiice. I haven't seen the damage yet but I'm gearing myself up! Happy Friday.

blodyn91 · 23/10/2020 08:26

@samilicious aww another girl ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ
My 20 week scan is 4 weeks today. Not sure I can wait that long to find out ๐Ÿ˜ซ Haven't looked at any private clinics yet but supposedly my hospital might not tell us sex without payment so need to get this confirmed

@Busybee143 lovely scan, baby has a proper leg!!

Ive booked today off work and my parents stayed over last night, went out for a meal. Mam still commenting that I look well. Not really sure what she means ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜†

Busybee143 · 23/10/2020 08:52

@SmileyT I have a gender scan booked for 12th of November BTW ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ please can you pop me on the list. Hope your holiday blues aren't too bad!?

Bl0ndi3 · 23/10/2020 09:31

Morning ladies,

My nausea seems to be subsiding some which is a little concerning as only 9+1 but I'm not going to let it worry me... probably just try and think positively and start trying to eat better! I've been able to eat 2 of my usual pre pregnancy fave meals the last 2 nights! I shall make the most of it as it could well come back. My boobs are still insanely sore so that's good ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚

It's 3 weeks today until my dating scan ๐Ÿ˜–๐Ÿ˜– I can't don't wanna wait that long but I don't wanna be having another scan either as OH will think I'm nuts.

Also thanks ladies re DSS who is at his mums now until Monday ( we checked he's still allowed to see both parents ) and then with us for a few days so will see how he gets on hopefully he doesn't get symptoms ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

SmileyT · 23/10/2020 10:05

@Bl0ndi3 @blodyn91 totally agree just me and OH will be at the birth regardless, although I do think it's nice if people want other birthing partners/ kids there that they have a choice โ˜บ๏ธ

@zippityzip sending your friend loads of positive vibes โค๏ธ and to you now with the car situation, hope it's just a little scratch that you can get sorted over half term, but what a pain x

@Bl0ndi3 hopefully it's just a precaution with them isolating everyone in their bubble and DSS is all good. The waiting is hard... honestly I feel like this pregnancy lark is so slllooowww ๐Ÿ˜ฉ but just do whatever is best for you both, if you get super anxious have a scan but I'm sure all will be well if you decide to wait until 12weeks aswell xx

@mrsmummy1111 @zippityzip my list making is one giveaway I don't have any other DC ๐Ÿ˜‚

@Busybee143 amazing scan do you feel more relaxed now? I haven't left my house since I got back we've just been having duvet days watching modern family ๐Ÿ™ˆ off out for lunch today though so actually have to get dressed ๐Ÿ˜‚

@samilicious yay to a girlie ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’– #teampink is steaming ahead now, love the Xmas idea, I'm so rubbish I'd definitely let it slip to one person before and ruin the surprise ๐Ÿ™ˆ. We had a 4D at our last scan and it was so nice to see some of the features, but still bloody weird xx

@blodyn91 ahh it's nice to look well... better than 'you sure it's only one' comments ๐Ÿ˜‚ ooh charging for the gender at your anomaly scan is so harsh I bet loads of sonographer will just tell you but not write it down x

Bl0ndi3 · 23/10/2020 10:11

I was wrong nausea hasn't gone ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚.
just nearly threw up at the smell of the fridge, there's nothing wrong with the smell of the fridge I've just been very sensitive to sudden or strong smells so far in this pregnancy, both good ones and bad ones ๐Ÿ˜‚

Had to give away my febreeze bathroom air fresheners which I normally love the smell of but cannot stand anymore ๐Ÿคข

Mococo1 · 23/10/2020 11:10

Sorry guys not been so active on this lately!

@Bl0ndi3 sorry to hear about DSS, but glad he can go between households..nausea always comes back with a vengeance sorry ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

@samilicious congrats on the girl yay !!

@zippityzip sorry to hear your car got smashed in ๐Ÿ˜ซ xx

samilicious · 23/10/2020 13:02

Thanks everyone!

@blodyn91 oh god 'look well' - that and bloody 'glowing' from work people. I'm not glowing, usually just a bit shiny-faced from having the heating cranked up WFH ๐Ÿ˜‚

@zippityzip so crap about your car! Have you had chance to get it looked at for costs yet?

@Bl0ndi3 don't worry too much - mine starting getting better about then too. Well, just not every single day and started wanting non-beige food a tiny bit more

@SmileyT duvet days/nights sound ideal. I might slip in the mean time but if I do I'm not guna stress myself too much ๐Ÿ˜€

zippityzip · 23/10/2020 16:00

@samilicious Not yet but she was so apologetic and absolutely gutted I can't even be mad at her. I said I would get a quote and she can decide whether to pay it or go through insurance - she really doesn't want to claim to her insurance but I think it'll be way too much.

Hope you're ok @Mococo1

Also @SmileyT all the positive vibes worked. She saw the specialist today who said that the baby was absolutely perfect. No issues with the brain whatsoever. He's such an awkward little sod. Very very happy parents over here.

LittleRa · 23/10/2020 16:35

Omg... itโ€™s HALF TERM!!!! Iโ€™ve made it ๐Ÿ˜ Even better... DD is going to a caravan with her dad tonight for 2 nights!!! Iโ€™m barely going to move off the sofa all weekend. Just kidding, Iโ€™ll obviously miss DD loads, but weโ€™ve got lots of nice things booked next week- pumpkin picking, National trust place spooky trail etc, so I am sooo ready for some chilling this weekend!!

We had Halloween parties at school with the kids today and I wore a maternity top with little feet on the bump and it says โ€œKick or Treatโ€! The kids have all been telling me name ideas for the baby (my class are 6 and 7 year olds). Some... interesting ideas ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hope everyone is well. Any nice plans for the weekend? ๐Ÿ’•

zippityzip · 23/10/2020 16:47

@LittleRa You made it! You earned that rest!!!!
Please share some of the names ๐Ÿ˜‚

blodyn91 · 23/10/2020 16:52

@zippityzip so happy for your friend! Such a relief that they found it so soon!

@samilicious yeah why do people feel the need to comment on what you look like now you are pregnant, ๐Ÿ™ˆ also MIL touched my belly today and went oh theres a bump there ๐Ÿคข DO NOT TOUCH MY BELLY! Also no bump just bloated ๐Ÿ˜’

@littera parents just left. Sister coming over Sunday with my nieces. ๐Ÿ˜

SmileyT · 23/10/2020 17:42

@blodyn91 agreed nobody needs to touch the belly (apart from OH or if I had other DC) x

@LittleRa yay enjoy your half term lovely, will be nice for you to be well rested this weekend before a week with DD doing fun bits x

@zippityzip yay so happy for your friend... love hearing positive news ๐Ÿฅฐ

@Mrsi2020 @Catherinettc hope all is well with you both feel like I haven't heard from you in a while xx

Catherinettc · 23/10/2020 17:50

Hey @SmileyT sorry haven't been on. All good here. Still no date for 12 week scan. Im 10 weeks + 2 so still plenty of time. Not much happening right now tbh apart from being a moany bitch ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ xx hope ur well xx

Busybee143 · 23/10/2020 18:43

@SmileyT I'm deffo feeling a lot more relaxed. I still I'm going to keep it quite secret till 16 weeks though as I think it's a little more awkward working in a school because I hate the kids asking me about my personal life. For me work is work and my life is my life but we will see how long I can hold it in haha. I feel like my bump is coming so maybe not too long ๐Ÿ˜‚ The duvet days sound so good, make the most of them now, they don't exist when you've had a child ๐Ÿ˜‚

Mrsi2020 · 24/10/2020 08:30

Morning everyone!

@SmileyT thank you for thinking of me. How are you? Your list skills are immense ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿฅฐ

How is everyone?

I am good, another scan today and a bit of scanxiety, canโ€™t wait to get outta first tri, but ok. Hardly any symptoms this preg, considering I had full blown hyperememsis first two times itโ€™s strange , but Iโ€™m not complaining as long as all is ok! Xxx

samilicious · 24/10/2020 10:11

@blodyn91 noooo belly touching is the worst? My MIL asked and that was ok I guess but was mega early on and felt so weird ๐Ÿ˜‚ what do you they hope find/feel even at this point?! Weirdos

@zippityzip ah so relieved about your friend. Why can't they pick this stuff up straight away?! What a terrifying time for them

Madz123 · 24/10/2020 10:45

Just trying to catch up- feel like I haven't had any time off work recently ๐Ÿ˜ด
Congrats on the successful scans and anyone who has found out the gender!

I've booked a last minute gender scan for tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜

zippityzip · 24/10/2020 10:55

@blodyn91 I hate unsolicited bump touching. Every person that touched my bump I stroked their face aggressively. OH IM SORRY DOES THAT MAKE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE.

FairyLights2 · 24/10/2020 11:39

@blodyn91 I couldn't agree more! I'm also a little annoyed with people mentioning the size of my bump. While I feel huge, I've been told on multiple occasions that I "don't look pregnant." I understand they mean it as a compliment but it's annoying. I know I haven't 'popped' out yet but yes I'm indeed pregnant, so please stop staring at my stomach!

Ltay2 · 24/10/2020 13:04

I even hate OH touching my belly before warning me ๐Ÿคฃ he does it every morning when he wake up to say hello to the baby which is cute but I get irrationally annoyed mainly because it tickles and I wasn't expecting it ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Sausage1990 · 24/10/2020 13:15

Hia girls ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป I just wanted to drop in and see how you're all getting on. Lovely to see so many fabulous scans & finding out all the genders ๐Ÿ’•

I just wanted to say thank you for all your love & support a few weeks ago. It's been nearly 3 weeks since I went into hospital and 2 weeks since the last part of the pregnancy tissue came away (at home). Physically I'm doing much better, still bleeding like a light to medium period but no pain or cramping which the nurse from EPU is happy with. Emotionally I'm doing ok too, still very up & down but I know it will take time and overall I am doing okay. I went back to work this week and was pleased that my boss was happy for me to return doing reduced hours as per my return to work which I was very greatful for. If you remember I was on a phased return having been off with anxiety so she was happy for me to start back where is left off 3 weeks previously which meant it was a nice low key week.

Hopefully the bleeding will stop soon & I'll have a negative pregnancy test next Friday ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป that would means it's all good and we can move forward. DH and I agreed that we will start ttc again in the new year, after giving my body chance to recover. I will keep popping in to see how you guys are getting on and hopefully I'll be able to share good news with you all by the spring of 2021๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’•

Sending you all so much love xxx

Bl0ndi3 · 24/10/2020 14:30

OOPS ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‚ bit early but love a bargain! They were on my list so figured it made sense to get them

Ltay2 · 24/10/2020 17:10

@Sausage1990 So lovely to hear from you, glad you are feeling better ๐Ÿ’• I completely understand you need the physical and psychological time to heal and New Year will be here in a flash โค๏ธ
