September 2024 - Thread 7! 🐣🧡💛❤️

[BeautyAndTheBump1]

As requested a new thread for us all! 🥰 can't believe its thread 7 already!

Then hopefully by thread 14 we'll all have our babies in our arms talking all things post partum!

Thanks for the new thread!

On the whooping cough vaccine- my midwife did mine at my last appointment. That's in Scotland but might be an option for some of you? (The midwife, not Scotland...😅)

@PoppingUp
I'm sure my midwife mentioned that I could have it at the 25 week appt with her!

Thanks for the new thread, @BeautyAndTheBump1!

Oh my goodness, we are such a chatty bunch 😂

@PoppingUp knowing NHS services, some of us might have to travel to Scotland for it 😂

Checking in. Glad to hear so many scans went well.

So glad everyone's scans went well!!

It must be super reassuring to know that a plan will be underway - Positive vibes and brain hugs being sent you way @MrsM89!

Sorry to hear about hospital woes as well, that sounds absolutely brutal tbh @RosiePH honestly if it were me I'd be taking a full day off, I admire your strength to still go in for a half day!

Hey everyone, I’m jumping back in, I’ve got my 20 week scan appointment tomorrow! Super nervous but also excited! Had a tiny bit of bleeding at the weekend so I’ll mention that tomorrow, I’m hoping all is well!

Delighted to hear everyone’s good news at all the scans today 🥰♥️

@Lillers my Halara dunagrees arrived today and oh my goodness I am in love! They seem such good quality and I love that they’re a bit more formal than I was expecting. I got them in the “grisaille” colour and it’s gorgeous. I’ve got my eye on the trouser version post-baby! Thank you so much for the recommendation.

@tryingfortwo2 Yay, I’m so glad you like them! I love how easy they are to slip on and off when you need a wee as well. I’ve got them in black, and am considering one of the brighter colours for the summer (maybe lilac?!)

Glad all the scans went well. Mine is next Tues - can’t wait! We haven’t decided whether we’re finding out the sex or not. Anyone decided not to?

Just checking in on the new thread 😊

I was able to get my whooping cough vaccine at my local drs surgery with a nurses appointment, might be an option for some? Has anyone decided to get a covid booster?

Is anyone else starving all the time at the moment? Not sure if it’s psychological or if baby is having a growth spurt but I feel out of control!

Thanks for the new thread!

Congrats on the scans, glad to see that it was good news all around!

Wow thread 7 already! Almost 23 weeks here and starting to notice the pattern of babies movements, usually after food and when I'm comfy in bed 😄 not just little flutters either but proper kicks and rolling, I'll probably regret saying this when I'm huge, out of breath and extremely uncomfortable but I can't wait til I can see the movement on the outside, an elbow or foot suddenly poking out 😆

Such lovely news about all of the wonderful scans.
23+1 here and baby girl is kicking up an absolute storm. Finally have my first consultant appointment next week also so curious what’s gonna be said and hopefully it eases all my anxiety

Thanks for the new thread and yay! 🎉 for all the good scans today! Are we all due around the 19th then?! 😁

@mrsbgb I have been utterly ravenous for the last four weeks or so, I have had a bit of a growth spurt myself shall we say 😅

@BeautyAndTheBump1 thread 14 still sounds so far away…!

@SantasRubiksCube I saw my stomach move for the first time when baby was kicking earlier and honestly it freaked me out quite a lot 😂

@Decaffe yes there is that, my own growth spurt is deffo happening too 😂

I’m watching the Eurovision semi final and my cat is unhappy with some of the music (she’s very judgemental) so she cuddled up to me for comfort. Baby kicked really hard and she must have felt it because she just looked at me like, “WTF was that?!”

I booked whooping via GP its on Friday but I booked 3 weeks ago. I was being fussy with dates though haha you can have up to 31 I think my letter said so no real rush.

I got new with tags bugaboo apron and hood from vinted as my last were blue so opted for different for baby girl ... got the pram out the loft to check all okay and fits 😊
Fun evening planned ha!

💛🧡❤️🩷💜💙

@mrsbgb i definitely feel hungry lots too! I saw this on Instagram the other day and I’m not sure how accurate it is (although my midwife’s chat about where the top of your uterus is at each week does back this up), but the big growth spurt between 20-22 weeks and 24 weeks definitely happened here 😅

@mrsbgb I was ravenously hungry from about 19 weeks - 22 weeks which roughly matched up to a bump growth spurt if that helps any?
Trying to fill up with a massive glass of milk helped me out a tad bit, it might help you too possibly?
(though tbh I was still constantly hungry even with trying to fill up on milk & other liquids, about 30 minutes after my morning bagel I'd be off making another one... 🙈)

I've just hit 23 weeks and I seem to be going back to somewhat normal levels of hunger for the most part!

Thanks for the new thread.

@BadLobster we haven't found out the gender 💛 One of the best bits of DS birth was when they held him up above the curtain and I got to tell DH he was a boy. So hoping for that moment again.

That's hilariously cute! Love that!!
