sorry to those I missed!

Thanks for the new thread.

Congratulations @Dannic2018

@Redpanda21 also bought some maternity jeans today! So comfy 😂will be living in those

Also want to mark my place on the thread!

I have also been feeling anxious like others have said expecially in between scans but then I get anxious about feeling anxious as I don't think it's good for the baby. So stuck in an anxiety cycle 😢 I am trying to channel my anxiety in to excitement, but doesn't come easy to me!

@Luhou yes I think I have been feeling flutters, I'm just over 16 weeks but still not sure exactly what it feels like and it's only now and again 😅

Congrats @Dannic2018 what a sweet picture! I have a gender scan on Wednesday and have been thinking it's a girl all the way through this pregnancy but had a vivid dream last night I was told it's a boy😅

Marking my spot on the thread, thanks for making a new one!

Yes to feeling anxious especially after having covid!

Also yes to food aversions, I've been fine with chicken and today i had nandos and picked all the chicken out my wrap...i just couldn't cope!

Another yes to movement too!! I am just over 15 weeks and definitely think its baby now, when I lay down and think about it I can feel quite a lot! 🥹🥹

I haven’t drank Diet Coke since about 5 weeks, always go off that when pregnant. All I drink is water now, still water. Even sparkling isn’t working for me anymore. And tea, I can drink it but have no real desire for it.

got my BFFs baby shower this afternoon. Need to drive 1hr30 to get there, will be so tired

@Dannic2018 congratulations!! awww!

@RG9895 I’m off chicken too. It’s the first thing I go off I ever feel ill or nauseous - couldn’t eat it at all during first trimester and slowly having a bit now.

@Mummyme87 hope you have a good day :)

We’re travelling to Cornwall (5 hours) today to stay at my parents’ and tell my side of the family eeeeek!

Thanks for the new thread @Ttcdcno1 . Bump has hardened overnight, still in my normal size 12 jeans at 15+3 which I didn’t expect to fit. Still all bump for now. Just buying bigger dresses of my usual style rather than maternity wear atm. Itchy nipples too - it is what it is lol. Felt the baby last night and this morning. Annoyingly the baby stopped when dp put his hand there to check. It was probably them sneezing as I’ve had a stuffy nose the past week.

Anyone reading pregnancy books? Watching the letdown/ workin moms?

@Lraine86 I love Working Moms 😂 I’ve been reading What to Expect but I don’t love it actually. Does anyone recommend a breastfeeding book?

@sashastuck exciting times ahead for you. I loved workin moms. Gutted it’s not on anymore. I’m on the letdown now I’ve finished with Catastrophe and Motherland.

Was going to what to expect but got the modern midwife’s handbook instead. She’s on instagram as @thehonestmidwife. I use it as a reference book more than anything as it gives you advice on safe medicines, chemicals for when cleaning the house. I think this book covers breastfeeding.

Just marking place here.

Feeling stretched and muscles/ligaments around hips and back of pelvis still twinging and itchy (decided there’s nothing worse than an itch I can’t scratch because it’s actually inside me!). Can feel start of bump if I poke when lying down, but nothing super obvious when standing yet. Just bloating 😂

Forgot to mention I’ve got an anterior placenta again this time, hence why I’m not convinced I can feel movements or not. So anyone worrying this may be the case for you too. This is my 4th so I’d of thought I’d be feeling them soon but I do have a mum tum still off my toddler 😅

Thanks can't believe this is part 5 already haha

Hi everyone, just marking my place 🥰

@Dannic2018 congratulations, great photo too!

I’m hoping we find out the gender at the 16 week cervical length scan but if not then I think I’ll book a private scan as it seems a long time to wait til the 20 week scan.

This is our first and DP would love a boy, so I don’t want him to be disappointed if it’s a girl. Anyone else had a similar situation?

Feeling huge and uncomofortable today. Anybody else feeling overwhelmed by how much time still pregnant they've got left!

@Luhou YEP! I said to DP today, I feel so bloated and heavy.

I'm not even 15 weeks yet!

Thanks for the new thread, I wondered where all the notifications had gone! And thanks @Matildahoney for thinking of me 😊

I'm 16+5 and have a full on bump now but no movements yet. Still feeling knackered as I'm finding it hard to sleep, really hope it's not affecting baby. We're away with my parents this weekend and it's rained the whole time, hoping to get out today for a walk!

Thanks for the new thread @Ttcdcno1

On the bumps, I think the picture I posted in the last thread was a lot of bloat, as I'm 15 weeks and smaller than I was at 13 🤣🤣🤣

Loved looking at all the bump pics at the end of the last thread and in here so far!!! I can't believe by the end of this thread a few of us will be hitting halfway!!!!!

Yes!! We worked out that if the baby is currently half a pound, and we end up with an 8 pound baby, it has to get 16 times bigger!!

There’s no room! I’m going to be huge 😂

Love seeing all the bump pics! Makes me feel a bit better too as I feel massive I am 15+5 and it's my first baby but as they say everyone is different ☺️

I just feel like I'm not showing at all yet and I think it's because I'm curvy anyway so I don't know what's just fat and what is actual bump :(

I'm really jealous of some of these bumps, I'm 16+4, not overweight but I do carry weight on my lower belly and hips. I can tell my belly is bigger but I don't have a proper bump that starts under my boobs and goes out. It's more lower down, and just looks like I've eaten too much cake.

This is literally me

@Inmydreams88 @LydiaWalker93 same here! Just look like I've had a big dinner 😂 by the end of the day I think hmm could be a bump but then wake up and realise it was all just food. But don't worry, our bumps will come and we'll moan about being huge soon enough!!
