Hi all

Happy 21 weeks to us all!!!

I have just booked up this morning to have a 4d scan on the 28th April, I'm so excited! Anyone else having one?

Yey for bananas!

PrincessJ

i no its flown by

i wanted to go for a 4d scan PrincessJ but other half said he isnt paying for one when we will see him in 19 weeks, tight arse! i am still trying to get my own way tho!! it will be amazing!! xx

Haven't really thought about one yet... but maybe half way between this one and due date.

Ladies can I ask a quick question, when you guys first started feeling kicks (I know I was a bit later than some) did you feel them alot then all the time, just I started feeling them before the weekend and they were quite obvious kicks and a good few a day, but since Tuesday I feel I'm gone back to the not sure if it was the baby and maybe only had that feeling 4-5 altogether times in the last 3 days

Aww I missed all the good programs yesterday- got to catch up with the soaps! lol x Yay 21 weeks, its gone amazingly fast hasn't it? x x Aww i can't have a 4d scan either as i've got another scan tommorow afternoon as got these students testing on me (thought it be nice as they asked if i could so they could do some training) then I've got scans at 24 weeks/28 weeks/32 weeks and 36 weeks (growth scans coz of high blood pressure) x My OH is thinking all these scans are expensive as to get pictures its like £5 for 3 at our hospital!

I feel like i'm a stock taker today ladies, just rummaging through Blaises old clothes doing a tally chart of what I have so I can see what i will need and not need to get. I will update when i have done my list, hopefully it wont take me all morning x x

cmtcmt- I find its quite on and off when mine first started and they are now quite regular, but i'm sure yours will get more regular, you never know your baby may be more active at night when your asleep, i know with Blaise I didn't really feel much during day but if i couldn't sleep at night i could then find him kicking away x x

Thanks WinterKage - that's what I was thinking, but you know urself I've kinda been waiting on a boot in the belly and when it doesn't come gets a lil worring, I may have felt more at the weekend too becoz I'd be sitting around abit more than during the week too

My kicking was exactly the same to start with cmtcmt, for the first couple of weeks after feeling a definite kick I would feel pretty much nothing one day and then a couple the next. It's taken about 3 weeks to progress to feeling quite a lot each day, and even then if I'm busy I won't notice them anywhere near as much, so that could definitely be why you felt more over the weekend. On the days were I felt next to nothing it used to play on my mind, but everything was absolutely fine and it soon progresses to plenty of kicks in the bladder so try not to worry

As for the 4d scan, after I had my 20 week scan I started to think that I would quite like one, because it would be a chance to see the LO without other things playing on my mind at the same time so I could enjoy it more. But, my DH is really not keen as he thinks you can find out too much before the LO is here. Also, the cost is an issue considering how much stuff we have to buy over the next few months! If I saw one on offer or something then maybe I would have a chance of convincing him... but otherwise no scan for me either!

Thanks Bump on Brain - It really is great to be able to ask others who have/ are experiencing the same isn't it!! I must keep note of all these so if I go back for No.2 I can chill the eff out

Lol I don't think we stop worrying ever. I mean i'm a bit worried myself as I went to a funeral yesturday and my mum didn't really want me to go as she thought I may get traumatised me being pregnant and stuff and tbh i didnt really think of that but because she said that it has worried me a bit (I went to church and reception but not to the cemetary bit) so i think for a week i'll be on my guard but hopefully after i'll be able to relaz and enjoy the pregnancy x

And i've completed my checklist. From what I could find I have:

Vests

Newborn = 9
0-3 = 30
3-6 = 17
6-9 = 3

Babygros

Newborn = 5
0-3 = 12
3-6 = 8
6-9 = 1

Romper suit

0-3 = 5
3-6 = 2

tops

0-3 = 4
3-6 = 5
6-9 = 4

jumpers/cardigans

0-3 = 4
3-6 = 2
6-9 = 2

trousers/dungarees

0-3 = 3
3-6 = 5
6-9 = 6

So for now at least I don't have to buy much vests as loads of them in the small sizes x x
