New thread!

@DaimDillyDoo Congrats!! Lol @caz198917! Is it just me or is everyone having girls?!

@DaimDillyDoo congrats!! What a beautiful scan!! 😊😊
We find out on Tuesday, in two minds about telling friends and family as I like gender neutral things!

Hi everyone!!!
I had a private scan today and comfirmed that im having a baby boy! So many tears today im so happy💙👣

@DaimDillyDoo @jennixxx so exciting!!! How many weeks are you?

I am finding the wait between scans soooooo long.

@Unarosaes Im 15 weeks😊 The wait is awful isnt it???? it feels like forever!!!!

@Unarosaes 17 weeks tomorrow! 

@caz198917 oh no you peaked!! I would do the same though. Is it a boy or girl?!

Has anyone had any worrying side effects after their booster? I had mine earlier this evening and have had a few painful sharp cramps/stabbing pain on my lower right side since. Trying to convince myself I'm just being a bit of a hypochondriac!!

@mrkb I wouldn’t worry to much I had my booster on Wednesday gone and I’ve been for a private gender scan today and all looks fab xx

@mrkb I also had my booster today. I've also had cramping and twinges but to be honest I've had them all week so I'm certain they're not jab related!

So i very nearly fainted tonight for the first time ever in my life. I was in town and suddenly started with flashing lights in my eyes, muffled hearing and it obviously then made my heart race and I thought i was going to drop. I had to rush somewhere to sit down immediately (nearly just sat on the floor), but once sat down for 5 mins I felt fine. But at the time it was the scariest thing in the world! I'm buying a blood pressure monitor first thing in the morning. The muffled hearing would suggest high blood pressure to me, but the faint feeling would suggest low? But i am completely clueless on this as its never happened to me before now.

Has anyone had this during pregancy/got any tips? :(

@Flowerbug1994 @BunBun221 thanks both! Needed some logical thinking I've def had this before so I know I'm being silly - just a bit more noticeable right now!

@purplemoon12 I had this on Thursday but at work. In a room full of 100 15 year olds. Had been stood for about 30 minutes and went really hot and clammy and the room started spinning. Like you I managed to leave the room and sit down but I couldn't move for quite a while. I agree was quite a scary experience but I didn't follow it up with anyone. Hopefully a one off for us both.

@Fairy45 so sorry to hear it happened to you at work! But like you say, its hopefully a one off. Its just the worst feeling, and the panic that comes with it is awful.
I have my 16 week appointment next week, so I'll mention it while I'm there and post an update afterwards

@mrkb honestly the only thing I'd be worried about is a fever caused by potential flu like symptoms

When do we start to feel baby moving or is it too soon

@MrsNT

When do we start to feel baby moving or is it too soon

This is my 2nd so may be different with a 1st, but I've started feeling things this past week (nearly 16 weeks now). It started like I was being tickled with a feather from inside (exact same feeling last time!) and I definitely feel like I can sometimes feel it moving around now (especially after my cup of tea!)

Hi all!! I've been posting in the post for July as my EDD is 29th of June and I always heard that first babies usually come later. However, I had two private scans and I was told in both that I might be a few days ahead, so I guess my EDD might change on Tuesday when I have my 12 weeks scan.

Regarding my appointment on Tuesday, I guess I'll get bloods taken and a scan ( I'm based in IE), do I need to fast for the bloods?

Thanks!

@Lostintranslatio good luck with the scan, it'll be nice for you to get your date :-). You don't need to fast for the bloods so don't worry about that.

First time posting here, I'm 16+4 today, 1st baby, had my 16 wk appointment on Tuesday and was just fab to hear that heartbeat again!

Felt my first fluttering 2 days ago and have felt more since, it's just so amazing!

@fpeg Yay I have a due date buddy!! Welcome! I've been feeling baby moving for 2 weeks, for me it felt like twitches in my pelvis at first and now it's moved up and I sometimes get little pops which I suppose are tiny kicks! Love it! Although it's also a new thing to worry about if I haven't felt anything for a while!

@fepg thanks a million! Not going to lie, I'm a bit nervous about the scan 😅😅 Can't wait!

@PurpleMoon12 & @Fairy45 so sorry to hear about your almost fainting episodes that must have been scary. I think it can be to do with lower blood pressure, we just need to take more breaks and sit down when we need. This isn't the same as fainting but I wrapped lots of presents the other night which involved a lot of stretching, reaching and lifting and I had really bad round ligament pains by the end, basically crawled into bed. They were better next morning but it taught me I need to rest more and not push my body

@GrowBabyGrow

I had my booster on the 9th so will have full protection.
I'm swaying towards going to the ceremony then leaving.

Kind of hoping lockdown announcement and it's postponed 😕

@Prema112 @Lostintranslatio I'm the 29th too! My scan is on Tuesday as well so might change. I'm so nervous about the scan, keep having nightmares that I've had a mmc

@unknownscot to be honest I think that is what I would do too. I know the reception is the fun celebration bit but the ceremony is the most important part of the wedding - when they actually get married! I hope it is a lovely ceremony and you feel safe and not at risk!

@Prema112 pregnancy really takes its toll on us. More rest is always great advice! We definitely deserve it

@GrowBabyGrow I can relate! Even though I had two good previous scans and NIPT test came back with great results, and I still have lots of symptoms, I'm very nervous about Tuesday appointment (previous MMC).
