Still here ladies. Not much going on apart from little wiggler wriggles a lot at sleepy time. Getting very excited and loving my bump. Also getting a lot of compliments which I'm soo not use to but love it all the same. Hope for those of you in the northern hempsiphere are looking forward to summer ? Xxx
 
Haha, I am dreading the summer!! I went for a short walk this morning & was so warm, & it's only June! :haha: I have a feeling I'm going to be soooo uncomfortable!

I had my first uninvited belly rub yesterday! It was from a friend, so I wasn't too annoyed.. God help anyone I don't know well enough who does it though! Ack.

I got on the scales this morning & I've gained 2lbs overnight?! I'm not sure if that's true. Hmm. I'm watching what I'm eating today though, just to be on the safe side. That puts me at a total of 8lbs so far, which is a little too much for my liking x
 
Just ordered some summer maternity clothes as realised I didn't have a bump last time until near the end and that was autumn/winter :wacko: not sure how I will cope if it gets hot here in the UK :shrug:

I'm really hoping we have a cool summer! Otherwise, I might just not leave the house during the day :haha: I might invest in a couple of maternity dresses to carry me through the warmest days. At the moment, I'm managing in jeans/yoga pants & vests/jumpers. Light layers!!
 
We've had some days here that were 25-29 degrees and I am loving it! Maxi dresses are the most comfortable thing at this point, but unfortunately there are no comfortable summer bras that will support how big my chest has become :lol:
 
I have to go to work so I need to loook semi smart so I have ordered some linen trousers etc to see me through :thumbup:
 
Oh I love the summer we hardly ever have one here in the UK...but I'm a nanny and love the great outdoors !
 
Ahh I love warm weather. We don't usually get too much heat here in Edinburgh, our hottest days are nice for me.

I am struggling to walk far without getting pains. MW mentioned SPD yesterday and said I can self refer to physio. I hope this doesn't get much worse, I'm used to being able to walk and cycle and do lots and feel very stuck :( We are really needing to get a car. Buses here are fantastic but it's still limited as to what I can do as there's always some degree of walking involved.

As for bras, I am in 34F now, normally 34DD. I hope they don't keep growing any more. They're already properly heavy.

I'm still unable to wear any jeans or anything like that as my skin itches like crazy in them! Lol I just sound like I am complaining now sorry!
 
Hi Ladies! Well, we FINALLY had our doctors appointment to review the 20 week ultrasound. We are team :blue:! The baby is measuring a whole week ahead of schedule! We are so happy and relieved the baby is happy and healthy. Woo!
 
Congratulations on joining Team Blue Hope and HitGirl!

Tallybee, I hope the physio is able to help you feel more comfortable.

It's winter here for me, and it will just be starting to warm up properly when I'm due. I'm very relieved about that, because being heavily pregnant through our north Australian summer would be pretty uncomfortable!
 
Wondering if anyone can relate.

This is my first and i struggle with dh. Hes not an overtly emotional person.. He keeps his feelings to himself, doesnt talk to people about problems yata yata. This drives me on a normal day but i figured he would be more supportive when im pregnant.

He doesnt show any interest in the pregnancy. Hes 'relieved' its a boy. Wont take prenatal classes with me 'because he doesnt have time' .. Wont look at names, wont shop. Nothing.

I told him tonight that if he isnt going to care, be there, be supportive etc when im in labour.. That he needs to decide now. Because i want him there but not if he isnt going to learn and support me. He says he wants to.. But he doesnt show it or make any strides towards it. I just picture me in labour and pissed off hes sitting in the corner texting. Id rather him tell me now so that i can have someone else.m
 
Do you have the option to have 2 people with you in the room? I knew my OH was going to be rubbish so I asked my mum to come along too. However everything happened quite quickly and she only arrived for the last 15mins and gave me more support than id had in the few hours before!! Im hoping she will be able to be there this time too but it will all depend on time of day/what day it is/ etc :( x

Men have a weird way to react to being parents. They don't seem to process it the same way we do. I was worried at first that he wasn't bonding with lo during the first months, and I always though this was a critical period for babies. He only started really bonding with him as he grew older and less baby-like. Then he confessed he was terrified during the first months.
 
Had a great ultrasound yesterday. Confirmed that we are definitely having 2 boys. Baby A is 1lb and Baby B is 15oz. They are both around 80th percentile. Baby B is breech currently and wiggles like crazy while Baby A is head down sitting right on my cervix and just likes to be stubborn and only move when he wants to.

We took our other 2 kids with us and my DS says Mommy you have a dinosaur in your belly! He is 5.

I go back in 3 weeks for my 24 week ultrasound and cervix check. My kids will be getting on a cruise ship that day with their grandma.



Went to a few yard sales today and spent $26 and came home with 26 items including 5 maternity items for myself.
 
Has anyone used a TENS unit for aches and pains during pregnancy? My chiropractor recommended it for my hip pain, and he consults with an OB/GYN who says it's safe. My OB/GYN told me he couldn't recommend it until I saw an orthopedist. I really don't wanna see an ortho.
 
I used it for labour and back pains near the end last time but other than that sorry no help GP
 
I didnt think we were allowed to use them unless in labour? (In the UK at least.) X
 
Doc associated with my chiro says it's fine as long as I don't put the probes on my belly.

There's a lot of conflicting information!
