September 2021 thread 3 🥳

[Mamabearwhere]

New thread because we did too much chatting on thread 2 😅

Thanks @Squibble84 I've just sent you a private message I think about getting added to the Facebook group. Thanks!

Great, we have a little gang on there already!

@Squibble84 I'm up for a Facebook group too!

Great if you see my previous post about adding me on fb, or send me a DM and I’ll add you as people have struggled to find me with my common name!

Morning Ladies I'm not on Facebook. So will probably stay here. I'd have to make a fake account? As I use to be on it but haven't been for at least 6 years. 😐
Have a good day😊. Also downloaded the baby centre app. So far so good.

Morning all, how are we all today?

So my pink cm stopped which im over the moon about. Ive been like you all too though, sick with symptoms then they stopped and then worried as there wasnt any and I was feeling fine. Im 16+1 so i think its normal stuff settles down, but still waiting for my appetite to level out. I graze mostly cos i cant face big portions. And im missing coffee, but found out coffee fellows does all its drinks caffeine free too so made OH drive us out to the next city to get one 😂.

Ive noticed more feeling in my stomach too, like its heavier and its deffo popped out now. Maternity leggings are the future!

I think for the gender reveal im going to order those inflated balloons you can send by post that pop up when you open them for my dad and sister (theyre in england, im in germany) then zoom them when they open them. Hoping corona will have done one by the time we're all due!

Morning

Does anyone else suffer with hayfever? I usually get it really bad from around now through to September time. Am I right in thinking I can’t take anything at all?

I’ll still be here too, I dont have Facebook.

Glad your spotting has stopped @Scotti84, cute idea for gender reveal. Are you finding out soon? Is it at the 20 week scan same as U.K.?

I’m toying with the idea of booking a private one for 16 weeks instead of waiting until 20. It’s £70 though and I don’t know if I can justify spending that just to find out 4 weeks earlier.

@Rach921 loratadine is deemed safe in pregnancy if you find that effective?

Im staying here, don't do FB. Also why I'm here and not the August group as its dead...everyone went to FB.

Are people actually getting to see their dentist? Mine impossible - typical, as soon as treatment free

@Squibble84 sent you a Dm for Facebook.

I will definitely still be here too, it's more anonymous for anything you're not too sure you want to ask but need to! Plus I feel a nice group has been established and I want to know everything for everyone as the time goes on x

@Sillysocks998, @FTEngineerM, @Noodles4Me, @bluemagicalsky, @bewitchingnight... people sometimes tell me I'm about the only person not on Facebook so I'm glad it isn't just me! . I hope we can stay in touch on here as it has been really helpful to me.

@Scotti84, lovely gender reveal idea! It's exciting isn't it? I can't wait to find out. I was also thinking that surely by September the restrictions will be lifted. Really looking forward to being able to see my family.

@Noodles4Me, I am trying to register with a dentist but no luck. I'm new to the area and was going to register after the lockdowns. Called recently after finding out I was pregnant and no spaces!

@Bubbles1st, great that you (& others) will still be here too.. we would miss you all! I agree that it is a nice group that's been established x

@Noodles4Me outstanding reminding! I need to see the hygienist and our have just started taking appointments and I’ve been meaning to book. Thank you 😀.

@AdventuresAwait nooooo you are NOT alone 😂. I’ll be mooching about here the whole time.

That’s a good point @Bubbles1st especially for the tmi stuff.

Im staying too, have a fb but dont use it that much.

@FTEngineerM ive got my next scan next tues where i'll be about 18 weeks so im hoping theyll be able to tell then.

Im same with dentists, theyre a nightmare here too. Im using listerine (without alc) and that toothpaste that tastes like salt, ive forgotten the english name for it, just trying to keep my gums n teeth as healthy as possible myself

@FTEngineerM ooh is it? Amazing! That makes me feel relieved, thank you x

@Rach921 www.nhs.uk/medicines/chlorphenamine-including-piriton/ according to nhs, not sure if there’s other info available.

@Scotti84 exciting, that’ll fly by. I will probably cave to be honest. I don’t think we’ll be having another after this.

I’m a bit gutted I haven’t really been able to use the free dental work since there’s been a pandemic.

Morning ladies!
Anyone like me and really tired, past few morning ive struggled getting out of bed. I feel drained. Was hoping I'd start getting some energy back but feel like am gettin worse for energy 😦

Yes, still knackered and the 3am-5am awake club has started up again which isn't helping! Am 15 weeks tomorrow and ready for more energy!

All the gender reveal plans sound so exciting! I'm going to wait for the 20 week scan but will hopefully find out then.

I'm glad there's a decent number of us without FB I've really enjoyed our threads so far

Yes I'm tired, day off today and I got up for breakfast at 9.30 and now I'm back in bed. Toying with putting the tv on or just going to sleep.

I'm waking up usually twice a night but also then waking up early. Although once is often because of the dogs.

I love this group too. Wish it wasn't public domain though lol. I'm drinking water with slices of lemon, really refreshing and hydrating. Drink through a straw though. U booked a 16 week scan just for reassurance. Won't find out the gender. 😁

I'm also completely exhausted still and I'm 14 weeks tomorrow. Keep needing a nap about 3pm. I'm up with DH and the dog at 6-6:30 in the week so tend to be in bed no later than 10. Hoping to start feeling more energised and less bloody hungry soon. I know the NHS tells you that you don't need extra calories till the 3rd trimester but I think they're taking the mickey personally 🤣

@Geegee20 I'm 14+5 and also feeling drained! Just want to sleep but can't get comfortable due to my back pain.

@Kirky658, I'm with you regarding the extra calories 🤣

@adventuresawait great minds and all that 😅 I can't stop craving tangfastics or sour fizzy sweets right now, I've had to eat the ones we have in the house so I can't have any more! Was lucky enough to get a dentist appt check up next week so better behave myself, lol.

Anyone started pelvic floor exercises BTW? I'm not sure whether I'm doing them right or not tbh! 😂

I won't be disappearing off here completely! Just liked the idea of FB for a bit more of the social aspect and ease of use!!! Far too invested in all your journeys now girls 😆

@AdventuresAwait think I'm going to have same issue with a dentist being new to the area but would love to take advantage! Just remember we have it for 12 months after as well so fingers crossed will get to utilise it at some point!

I'm also really hoping that we've all timed it perfectly and come September all our babas will be able to have the visits and cuddles they deserve 🥰
