Scan went great! I guess I'm super sensitive to it though because I could feel the ultrasound and it hurt (the doppler hurt too when we did it), and I'm still a little crampy, but it was awesome to see our little wiggler! We didn't find out the sex, but we both peeked at the screen quick at different times when she was looking down there, I thought I saw a girl but dh thought he saw boy parts, so it just added to the suspense lol! We should get a bet going haha. Pics came out really nice, really awesome anniversary present for us!

 

[Twag]

Glad your scan went well lovely pictures

 

[CelticNiamh]

lomelindi17 yay for a great scan baby looks great

 

[Twag]

OMG I just looked at my ticker I cannot believe I am almost down to double digits

Mrs_Bump so sorry DH isn't helping you out more. He should definatenatly be mowing the lawn for you Me and DH sat down years ago and set our responsibilities up. For instance I do the cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning the kitchen ect. He takes care of all things outside such as taking the trash out, mowing the lawn..ect. It just helps drawn the line on who is doing their part. And of course help each other out every now and then like. Occasionally he'll do the dishes or i'll take the trash out. But we don't get mad if the other one doesn't do those things because its not their responsibility. Maybe something like that would work for you guys?

lilSteph I hope you had a great birthday!

I caught myself being bitchy this weekend for no reason too UGH I hate when the hormones just seem to take over. I played hooky from work yesterday and just relaxed with DS we went to the park and took a nice long nap. I think I needed that because I feel so much better today.

 

[missmayhem]

Scan went well baby measuring a week ahead but they are refusing to move my dates. Oh well, if I go into labour before my cs date it will be an emergency section!

Blood pressure is going up and U.S. Now closer to my normal range which coincides with my dizziness disappearing.

Went for a bra fitting yesterday now a 36jj feel so much better to have a proper fitting supportive bra. Was a 40k went feeding my son, have since lost weight so I dread to think what size they will be when my milk comes in

 

[littlesteph]

thank you ladies
lomelindi17 happy anniversary, glad the scan went well
missmayhem glad the scan went well, hope they keep an eye on your blood pressure, wow jj could only image the pain that must cause your back.

AFM: still getting headaches they aren't as bad as they have been which is good. brought a few more baby clothes today, i'm very hesitant of buying any as we are not sure if they are going to get baby out early or not. the way my consultant made it sound when I saw him was that I unlikely to make it to my section at 39 weeks. we should hopefully know more at my growth scan at 28 weeks.

missmayhem, I'm just glad to learn I'm not the only girl on the forums with boobs in the J range I'm about a 38J cup right now, but I'm sticking to sports bras because every time I turn around they get even bigger. Started out the pregnancy as a G... this is out of hand! I'm terrified of what size they'll be once my milk comes in. Do bras come in a Z cup!??

 

[lomelindi17]

Haha I feel enormous too, I was a 30 G pre-preg and then grew out of two larger sizes and gave up! I bought a stretchy nursing bra from Motherhood Maternity and it is way too big in the band but at least it covers 'em up! I measured and I've gained over 2" in cup size and can't imagine what it will be like full of milk yikes!

 

[Mrs_Bump]

My bras still all fit me. I put on one cup size when my milk came in with ds but that was it. I guess it just shows how we are all effected differently.

 

[Twag]

I am currently wearing my nursing bra's from when I had DS but they are still a little big but comfy - I was much bigger last time around than this time tho! But then I had more to start with last time - my little boy sucked em dry

 

[Smile181c]

I was a B cup pre pregnancy with my first LO, and went up to an E cup. This time round I started out as a C cup and I'm already coming into an E cup!

 

[aley28]

I don't remember my boobs growing like this in past pregnancies. I'm sure I put on a cup size or so. I can't remember milk coming in at all after Ethan. I know it did, I just was too exhausted and overwhelmed by new motherhood to take note of such things. But the night after Parker was born - before my milk was even in! - my boobs had already expanded and they got bigger again when milk came in to fill them out even more.

Now I'm up, what, 4 cup sizes??? And if the same thing happens after delivery as it did with Parker, I'm realistically expecting to be a JJ/K/L cup, if that is even a thing. Huge bras like that are hard to find under normal circumstances, I'm NOT excited about trying to find nursing bras! Oh well. They will probably shrink back down later on. And DH loves them right now anyway, even if he hates that I won't let him touch as they've gone too sensitive!!

 

[Twag]

I remember exactly when my milk came in with Elliot it was day 6! Day 5 he screamed & screamed (the only time he did as a baby) as he was so hungry as my milk wasn't in yet and so I ended up feeding him some formula as there was nothing else I could do and I cried the whole time but then he was so content and peaceful (I have a beautiful photo of him after he fed which is one of my favourite pictures of him as a newborn) and my midwife came around later to do his day 5 check and gave me a big cuddle
Then bam next morning my milk came in and wow!

 

[Mimzy3]

I remember when my milk came in I cried because my boobs looked like two giant watermelons LOL my skin looked shiny it was stretched so much Not looking forward to that again. After breastfeeding for 14 months my breast were the smallest they had ever been but now they are full and huge again. I'm not a fan I'll be happy when they are small again, even though DH likes them now

Oh I hope baby does ok and can bake a lot longer for you FX for your 28 scan must be such a worry for you

Handed in my maternity leave letter and MATB1 form today - making it all feel a whole lot more real only 11 more weeks in the office

Cannot believe I am so close to 3rd tri already this pregnancy has flown past but IF I get one more person tell me how small I am I will have a hissy fit she is measuring just fine!

 

[Smile181c]

When do we get out MATB1 forms? I can't remember from last time

I have 11 weeks left too - leaving 8th October! I only work 3 day weeks though so I have about 30 working days left it's fab!

Sorry people keep commenting though Twag it's horrible isn't it! I get the opposite though "wow you're huge!" "are you sure there's only 1 in there?!" etc etc as if I'm not completely aware of my size right now! Don't need anyone pointing it out!
