Due July 24 - Part 2

[MixedCouple]

Started a new thread as the last one is full.
Got my apt letter today for my scan in Jan will be the 11th should be 12w 3D.

@Oatmilk - it is tough but what else cam we do. Have no other choixe but to suffer and keep going. I reflect very very often in the ease of my last pregnancy. Naps when I wanted. Sleep in when I wanted. Just really self centered 😂 now I am lucky to put my feet up for 10mins.

I just think loooooads of women have done, are doing it. And I need to suck it up.
My Nausea is easing up a little the last couple days. So hopefully it goes soon.

Halfway today!!! Can't believe I actually made it to 20 weeks 🥳

@bringmearainbow 😊congrats. I'm losing track - have you had your 20 week scan yet?

@Savvy21 not not until Tuesday. Have you had yours yet?

@bringmearainbow Wednesday. Best of luck for yours - I feel like this is the final hurdle before I start to feel a bit more relaxed!

@Savvy21 thanks you too ❤️ lol yes it does feel like that. Have you felt much movement yet?

@bringmearainbow yes I think so but no pattern yet. Still I guess that there's plenty of space in there. The kicks to my bladder always make me jump haha.

@bringmearainbow @Savvy21 I think I have the same due date as both of you.
20 weeks and half way todayy too!

My 20 week scan is on Thursday.

My belly has started to get rounder but I believe I can still get away with people not telling I'm pregnant. I've got a linea nigra coming in very lightly.

And also, I feel kicks every day! Well at the moment it's like swirly movements and little muscle twitching feelings. I can almost induce them happening as I know after I eat the baby will move. Or when I'm in bed ready to sleep.

I am not sure, but I also think I might have slight pelvic pain (something is causing discomfort).
Anyways that's the end of my update 😊

Also 20 weeks today! Quite a few of us must have the same due date - 6th July?
I haven’t felt anything yet, but bump does seem to be growing. And 20 week scan was all good!
Good luck with your scans this week ❤️

@Lisao86 @ExpectantEs @Savvy21 @bringmearainbow

20 weeks today too! Was meant to have my 20 week scan yesterday but was cancelled due to staff sickness 😢

Really want the 20 week so I can start shopping!

I was 20 weeks yesterday. Not got my official 20 week scan until the 28th but having weekly scans anyway.
Last couple of days I can feel the movement on the outside which is so lovely and reassuring

@ExpectantEs hope your scan goes well. No linea nigra but it didn't show last time either I don't think.
@Lisao86 glad your 20 week scan went well. Is it your first?
@LStar1 oh no that's rubbish. Have they rescheduled it?

Hey @Savvy21 they have for next Saturday! Only a week away but so long since the 12 week scan in December!

How are you getting on x

@Savvy21 I'm not feeling much at all but didn't really until 23 weeks with ds. I get the odd bit where I'm like pretty sure that was a kick but then don't know if I imagine it 🤦🏼‍♀️

@ExpectantEs ahhh I was trying to remember who else has the same due date! That's so lovely you can feel after certain points 🥰 my hips feel really stiff esp after I've been sitting down doesn't help I sit down most of the day 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Lisao86 @LStar1 ahhh hey due date twins! There's lots on 6th July 🙊 @LStar1
I'm glad you don't have too long to wait but it still sucks when you get excited for the scan

@LStar1 not too long to go. Hope they don't cancel again! I'm just getting a little tired of being tired haha. Also struggling to try to learn to sleep on my side again 😂

Yay to 20 weeks ladies!
Im 20 weeks tomorrow and scan on Weds ❤️

I'm 20 weeks today too @Jess725 scan tomorrow!
I thought after my scan went well on Thursday I would be more chilled but still got a nagging thought of "what if." A friend of a friend had a late miscarriage the other day and even though I barely know this person, it's still really thrown me. Need to think positively! Hopefully a day at work will keep me busy and then we've got carpet fitters coming tomorrow as well as the scan so I'll definitely be busy then!

I'm 17 weeks tomorrow. It'll be interesting to read all your delivery updates before I experience mine! 😬
It's either going to calm me or freak me out. 🤣

20 weeks today and just had my scan, feeling very relieved that everything is looking perfect as I was so worried! Was in and out within 20 minutes, was expecting to be there for ages!

@Bali200 congratulations on a smooth scan!

I'm counting down the days until Thursday!!

@wannabe123 It's all going to be fine! We've got this ❤️ How are you feeling today? Only one more sleep for you!

@ceruleansky hahaha! I have a best friend who is expecting and I am doing this through her too 😆

Has anyone else started feeling movements yet? I’m 17weeks can feel some little flutters and bubbles 😊

@Welshgal85 i am 17+2, and have been feeling little flutters and the occasional thud. Although nothing since yesterday afternoon, which is stressing me out lol as it was daily for a week!

I am still being sick and feel rotten today! Anyone else still suffering with sickness?

Fellow sicky over here 😩 think I'm getting anti sickness meds today as I'm at my limits and barely able to function! Not fun. Hope you're ok x

@Oatmilktea great news. Time for the fun bit.

• Muslin Clothes start off with a 10 pack. I purchased loads and DS never vomited. So never used.
• newborn & first size a few pieces such as sleep suits. I opted for zipper ones with inbuilt scratch mits they worked a charm. Next, H&M and Asda has them.
• swaddles - dont go crazy as baby may hate them. We had a pack of 4 Aden & Anis gifted to us. As that was more then enough.
• first size nappies (baby registry)
• water wipes (baby registry)
• baby bath with newborn support (we got the Stokke collapsible one and we use it for our toddler still)

I honestly think these are the essentials.

This time we are optimg for the Shnuggle Changing mat as it is silicone. We had a normal foam and vinyl one last time it was a pain to clean and it was cold. So going to splurge of a nice Silicone one. They have it on Amazon much cheaper then John Lewis.

I am also getting a Baby Bjorn Bouncer from Vented and a Baby Wrap.

That's only things I didn't get last time.

@Samszie I saw someone on here a while. Back saying their midwife said any falls to get it checked out. I had a fall with DS at 32 weeks but landed on hands and knees I was out hiking as assumed as I didn't hit my bump all was fine but apparently your meant to go in anyway. I would run it by the midwife for sure.

I am 18 weeks today!!! Been feeling random tumbles and bumps usually evenings and night time. I can't wait for 20 weeks scan. DM wants to know as if it is a girl in our culture they will buy some Gold jewellery.

@Welshgal85 I live in wales to. Yes Random movements. I wouksnt worry as a pattern usually emerges around 24-26 weeks. I remember last time DS was active between 17-18 weeks and then got quiet until 22 weeks and was on and off until 25 weeks then non stop.
