Due January Part 4! 🎉

[Redpanda21]

I can’t see a new part 4 as part 3 is now at 1000 replies!

Thanks ladies. I'll keep an eye between now and my 16 week appointment unless it gets much worse.

@Kalodin best of luck for your scan!

Omg ladies, if you haven't got a pregnancy pillow yet this is your sign!! Its like a cloud...I can't WAIT to go to bed tonight 🤣

I got it from amazon and was only around £30!!

@Luhou i get itchy nipples 😂 back of my calves were super itchy last week aswell. ICP is a thing but not this early

need maternity t-shirts/tops… mine are too small now, busting out

Got my screening results back.

NT was 2.7mm on scan
downs risk 1 in 280, others 1 in 5000.

I was hoping for a little better on the downs risk but it’s okay and still low risk x

Thanks for the reasurance! My nips get itchy too. My bra is suddenly super tight around the back too!

I got a few bits in next sale (online) last week.

@Luhou I was itchy with my last pregnancy but not experienced any yet. Most likely hormones but always good to mention it to midwife.

@Redpanda21 that’s good it’s low risk. I had similar results with my last pregnancy.

@PartRadish @suz2285 I don't want to sound silly but what does your uterus feel like 😂 intrigued now!

@Kalodin good luck for your scan! ☺️

@Redpanda21 that is still very low risk, it's less than 0.5% when you look at it that way x

@Luhou my boobs are itchy for few weeks now. I got a bit relief from moisturiser cream containing aloe Vera.

Had my hematologist appointment today. I still haven't done any special bloodtest to see how the injections are working and she just increased the dose because i have put up a bit weight 😕 luckily gave me a paper for bloodtest at 28 weeks so think it's better than nothing. Just don't remember the dose being increased in my last pregnancy.

@Mummyme87 itchy nips here too! And they're so dry!

@Redpanda21 that's good results I'd be happy with those! Prob due to your age? My background risk is like 1:200 even with no testing!

@lilluce95 uterus is basically just a kinda hard bit right about the pubic bone, you should start to feel it after 12 ish weeks? It's just unusual to me as obv you never feel it before that as it's tucked into your pelvis normally!! You should try and feel for it 😂

Scan went well and dates moved to 29th January so I'm back in the January club again 😂 Everything looked perfect, saw baby moving about and stretching! Was wonderful. Clinic wants to see us every fortnight now though, nervous how to explain that to work as I don't want them to know yet!

@Kalodin congratulations! So lovely to see them wriggling around isn’t it 😊

How long did it take everyone to get their screening results back? On Friday it’ll have been two weeks since the scan so it seems to be taking forever. I don’t mind too much as we did NIPT privately thank goodness, I’d be quite stressed by now if we hadn’t I think.

@Lilothblos i had my test on Friday and results in post today. X

@Lilothblos I had my screening last Tuesday and got the results in the post today but they were also on badger by Friday last week.

@RG9895 which pillow did you go for? There’s too much choice and I can’t decide what I want!

@LozzieLoo @Redpanda21 wow that’s quick! My hospital don’t use badger notes annoyingly. I might chase it up on Friday if I still haven’t heard!

Has anyone started with acid reflux? I am sure it started with my ds around this time and oh has it started again, everytime I lay down I’m constantly burping and then be sick in my mouth 😩 don’t think I can eat pastry or cheese or onions as they are all repeating on me straight away
looks like the next 24 weeks of Omeprazole daily for me 🤕

@Dannic2018 I’ll not be long behind you if this pregnancy follows the same route as my first.

I tried everything with my first, had the blandest diet, slept up right etc. Would still wake up with acid in my mouth. Omeprazole was the only thing that helped.

@buckingmad I never had it like I do now with my first two it’s since I’m getting older. It’s the choking on it and the fear of lying down and it happening straight away. Yep Omeprazole was the only thing here too, I remember being in labour and pushing and burping the onions back up off the hospital tea I had 😳😩

Congrats on those receiving their screening results and scans 🥰

@Lilothblos mine took 8 days to arrive in the post!

@LozzieLoo I hope this link works! https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B08QYS68TT?psc=1&ref=ppxpoppmobbbasin_title

Some of the reviews werent great but mines puffed up loads and im still meant to wait 48 hours for it to expand! I love it!

Ah reflux and heartburn is horrid. Previously haven’t got it until 32plus weeks, hope it steers clear again.
I’m very gassy, particularly if I’m hungry. It’s lovely 😂

Oh no sorry to hear some of you are already suffering with acid reflux! Really hope it somehow dies down and hopefully we all avoid it! Is pretty crappy. I'm grateful I only had it a handful of times with DS2, just had to sleep upright.

@suz2285 ahhh yes that makes sense I can feel it 😂 thank you!! X

It’s amazing how much I’ve forgotten. My son is two so not that far in past I was pregnant but I completely forgot I had to prop self up in bed because of acid reflux. Luckily not got any now but something for the future I’m sure.

I had some heartburn last night but I went to bed stuffed from dinner 😂 not a good plan! Need to learn to eat less at night cos it's only gonna get worse!

I've got heartburn already too! I remember feeling like I was keeping Rennies afloat with the amount I consumed last time, need to get something stronger now I think, its awful! Like @suz2285 said I should probably try to eat less too but Im so hungry!!
