Due February 2025 - Thread 3

[UrbanSquirrel]

Following on from the two existing threads, welcoming all the intrepid ladies due in February, for further excellent support 🤗

I don’t think I have felt any kicks tbh, only rolling. But that’s still so few and far between! I had a posterior placenta with DD and was reliably feeling movement by now ☹️

I don't really have a bump. Just bloat in the evening.
I've felt quite a lot of movement over the last week. 19 weeks yesterday. My partner can even feel it too.

Is mad how everyone and every pregnancy is soo different.

Anyone doing the gym? And got any tips how to squat the whole way through pregnancy? I'm not sure I'm going to be able to for much longer, the pressure in the front of my groin is quite bad this morning during them

Morning everyone.

Sadly, I'm here with upsetting news. I'll keep it brief as I know it will be shocking and possibly frightening for others.

I went into labour at 19+2 on Friday evening and gave birth to our beautiful, perfect little boy, George, on Saturday 28th September. The cause is currently being investigated. I don't think we will ever feel whole again, the pain is unimaginable.

Understandably, I'll be bowing out of the thread now. I wish you and all your babies the best of luck and love.

@KittyFantastica my deepest condolences to you and your family. I am so very sorry for the loss of George, he'll forever be with you, and you with him, he knew how loved he is xx

@KittyFantastica So sorry to read this, sending you lots of love, look after yourselves ❤️

@KittyFantastica so sorry to hear of the loss of George, sending so much love

@KittyFantastica i'm sorry to read that about your baby. He'll be forever in your heart. I'm sorry for your loss. Xxx

@KittyFantastica I am so, so sorry for the loss of your sweet boy.

@KittyFantastica so, so sorry to hear about the loss of George. Look after yourself as best you can, sending so much love xx

@KittyFantastica, the most awful outcome for you and a pain no mother should bear. My heart breaks for you. Know that your baby knew nothing but love as your body held him. I hope you receive all the support you need as you navigate your journey of grief.

@KittyFantastica I am so so sorry to read about your sweet baby boy George. Sending you so much love.

@KittyFantastica my sincerest condolences and love to you.
George will be loved and held dear by so many.
I have a wonderful friend who delivered her darling son at the same stage, she often says crying, time and love were the things that got her through.
We talk of her son often and he’s held in our hearts as will George with your family and friends.
Please reach out if you need any support x

@KittyFantastica I am so very sorry, sending you and your family love and strength at this difficult time. George is such a beautiful name. Sending you so much love. Xx

Thank you!! Yes such a relief. I've really started to feel movements now so way less anxious! I think mine is posterior? The one where the placenta is at the back. But you're right, every scan he's been suuper active even when I've had worrying pains before them.

@KittyFantastica my heart is just breaking for you, I am so so sorry 💐 no words will do it justice.

Sending you all my love as this truly difficult time xx

@KittyFantastica Sending you and your family so much love, I am so sorry to read your news. Thinking of you all, and of George, and wishing you a gentle recovery xxxx

@KittyFantastica I am so sorry for your loss. Rest in peace, George - you are well loved.

@ridl14 glad you are feeling movement. It's such a worrying time still...my movements aren't regular or everyday and with my history of MC I constantly worry. The rationale part of me knows it is completely normal though and regular movements won't be felt for a couple of weeks. Will deffo be doing kicks counts in a few weeks time.

I've just had 20w scan, and all is well which is a relief after all the scaremongering the diabetes team do. Baby is bang on the 50th percentile and very busy in there!
The sonographer said the average baby is now born at 8lb, which sounds huge to me 😬

@Lidlisthebusiness don’t worry, my daughter was 8lb 7 and she still seemed tiny! Admittedly she was an EMCS but I’ve heard big babies are easier to birth because of gravity!

We also had our 20 week scan today and found out we're having a girl! The sonographer was excellent too, and was really reassuring / provided lots of updates.

@retrievermum my biggest up to now has been 7lb 4oz, and he did fly out in a 2 minute, 2 push laour. My smallest was just over 5lb, so compared to him 8lb seems like a toddler!

my sincere condolences to you and your family. I cannot comprehend what you are going through. Take care of yourselves. Thinking of you.

@Lidlisthebusiness 8lb does seem huge. I think I need to start developing my arm muscles.

I've been really uncomfortable this week. My ribs feel like they're being spread apart (which I guess they are) and it's making sleeping on my side painful. I hope it settles soon, because I'm not managing much sleep.
