Due December 2022 (thread 4)

[Sdoubleyou]

Hi all, looks like we'll be filling up today or tomorrow. I wanted to create the thread early so we can have a link to the new one. Have a nice weekend!

I would like to know this too.

I didn’t realise there was a fb group

Yes I think twas created in thread two by BuchananBaby or so can’t remember exactly

Hi lovely people. If anyone wants to be added to the Facebook group, best thing to do is add me as a friend and then I’ll send you an invite. It’s a private group so you won’t be able to find it otherwise. Then feel free to delete me as a friend 😂

@Jj19 brilliant thanks. How do I find you on Facebook?

Sorry here it is

Hi ladies, I had my anomaly scan yesterday. They did not tell me much. The gave me the record with the following measurements:
FL 28.2mm
HC 161.9 mm
AC 139.7 mm
I am 19 weeks.
I am a bit concerned about the FL because on the 16 weeks private scan it was 21.4 mm. Any wise thoughts would be highly appreciated.

@Vg92 if there was any concern at your scan, I'm sure they would have told you. I'm no expert but having just had a quick google, it looks like your baby is maybe a tiny bit on the small side of average, but none of those measurements looks shocking. What in particular are you worried about?

@Jj19 just sent you a Facebook request it will be from Natasha

@LolaJ87 thank you very much! I am concerned that the baby is not growing normally but I guess I just needed a reasu

@LolaJ87 thank you very much! I am concerned that the baby is not growing normally but I guess I just needed a reassurance. Thank you once again!

@Vg92 I know all too well how easy it is for this stuff to get into your head. The femur length is just below the 50th percentile (50th percentile is average) so definitely not anything to worry about.

In my experience, having had some extra risks with my pregnancy, the doctors/midwives will always give you any information you need. If they said nothing, there is really no need for you to worry.

Hi ladies, I just read something that I find so useful and I wanted to share. If you find that after peeing you still feel like you have to go, I stead of peeing with your back straight up (like a normal person), put yourself completely parallel to the floor. You empty out your bladder much better. I felt very odd, but hey, it worked!

Has anyone else started with very restless legs? Au got it with both my others but much much later on.

@Mommabear20 Yes, it’s AWFUL. Worse if I go to bed late when I’m overtired. My cures:

Gentle walk before bed
Cold bath or shower before bed
Magnesium spray
Iron supplements
Sleep with an unwrapped bar of soap in the bed (don’t ask me why, it works!)
Leg massage
Weighted blanket or making DP lie on them
Bananas are meant to be good but they currently make me throw up

@Sdoubleyou - thanks for this tip! Will try it out!

@Mommabear20 - I've been having restless legs at night and horrific cramps in my calves! The pain wakes me up at night. Think I'm going to start chugging tonic water for the quinine!

@Sdoubleyou thanks for reminding me of this tip. Also super useful after birth if you have stitches to lean as far forward as possible so it stings less!

@Sdoubleyou thanks for the tip! I find I have to go a few times before bed so maybe this will help!

@Mommabear20 @stuntbubbles I get them but only when I’m overtired. Those are some handy tips to try too. Wonder how the soap works 😁

Hi everyone. Due on the 22nd. Think I got in a bought of pregnancy rage yesterday. Under the weather still.

Has anyone had a recurring dreams during their pregnancies? I've always had very vivid dreams when pregnant, but I've never had the same one more than once, but this time I'm having the same dream maybe every other night. It feels like it's trying to tell me something about my baby but I've never been one to believe in omens or anything, but now that it's my baby I'm getting worried 😟

@Mommabear20 I had one last night about a baby reveal party (honestly my worst nightmare so not 100% certain why my brain was creating this story.)

We had the confetti cannon, but we kept getting interrupted - so it never went off. So I woke up feeling sad I still didn't have a clue if my baby was a boy or a girl 😂

hello ladies finally going to mark my place in this thread! been reading along with you all & just thought i would say hello to those who have just joined 😀 also just thought i would let you know Amazon prime day is on until midnight tonight & noticed some nice baby essentials on their so you might want to take a look! Also boots have a baby sale online on selected items too 😊couldn't resist! i have just ordered the tommee tippee 3 in 1 uv steriliser in white down from £150 to £74.99!! 1 less thing off my list to get, tbh only thing i have got up to now apart from baby bottles 🤣 find out what we are having in 6 days timeeee! 😍 x

I'm 17 and been straightforward so far but today my stomach feels really tight and I keep feeling wet but when I check it's clear. Has anyone has this?

Still on my holidays but it's tiny moan time! Starting to get really puffed out quickly. So today was a lovely slow wander round a botanic gardens and any time there was a hill I was needing to psych myself up and take regular breaks! Dreading how I'll be in a few weeks if I'm like this at 18wks 😂

@Tofu35 i feel your pain im like that when having to go upstairs 🤣 have to stop when i get to top to catch my breath! haha x
