Good luck for both! I am booking my theory test this weekend! Don't know how long I can keep doing my driving lessons for though. Does anyone know?xx
 
My 20 week scan is 19th March, next midwife appt is 25th feb. Can't wait for either! Feels like the pace of this pregnancy is picking up now we are much closer to halfway. Been feeling some wiggles and kicks already so I'm hoping this means no anterior placenta this time round.
Hope everyone is keeping well x
 
I keep thinking I feel something, but this is my first pregnancy, and at this point I've no idea! Although I swear I felt a little kick yesterday (but couldn't get it to happen again!).

I'll be booking my anatomy scan after my appointment next week (more blood draws :/ ) Hoping the dr is nice enough to bring out the Doppler :)

15 Weeks today, 5 weeks till halfway done!


I've been itching too, mostly my arms, and sometimes my love handles, bellybutton or thighs... I think it could be dryer skin, or it could be growing haha
 
Next appt is tomorrow, just bw and weigh in. Gender scan on 3/13! And baby was moving all around last night, so exciting to finally feel something!
 
Itchy on my legs (mostly around my shins)... First thought it was weather (and it does get worse when colder) but it's just there pretty much all the time.

We have an anatomy scan next Thursday 2/27!!! So excited. I have a list of all the things ready but don't wanna get started due to colors :) i am hoping for b/g or g/g...
 
My next midwife appointment was supposed to be tomorrow but because DS is poorly I have had to cancel it, waiting for them to ring to rearrange it. Hopefully it's before my scan x
 
Squirrel my 20 week scan is the 27th march too :) I made my appointment at my 12 week scan

I have my first community midwife appointment on Monday. Really really hoping I get to hear the heartbeat.
 
We scheduled a private gender scan for this Friday at 17 weeks :) Then we have our anatomy scan on March 24th when i'll be 21w3d.
 
Hey all! .. I wouldn't know as this is my first pregnancy but i keep thinking i can feel baby moving and also not yet kicks i don't think but like light tapping/poking. If i feel it i press on my stomach and get can feel the tapping which makes me think its baby. Definitely not gas haha. Anyone else feel first baby at 16 weeks? .. Feel like people will laugh if i say i can feel him/her.
Anyway .. I have another appointment with the midwife on the 28th of Feb and my 20 week scan on the 13th of March although i think i will be 19w3d .. So sorry for all the recent loses .. Massive hugs to you all! Stay strong! X
 
Buttons, I had tapping earlier this week, then more definite movement yesterday. I'm just 16 weeks today. And my scan is 3/13 also! Hi five!
 
My boobs are leaking like crazy, I have to wear "leakage" pads. And they are very hot. :) We have our gender 2D/3D/4D ultrasound on the 15th of March :happydance: so excited, they are going to do a DVD of the whole session, plus give us an extra DVD for my Dad to watch, as he doesn't want to know the sex at all.
 
I have had my 20 week scan booked in for an AGE, cos it will be my first scan!! 14th march is mine; just over 3 weeks away now. I have my second midwife appointment this Friday too so I am looking forward to hearing baby's heartbeat again, especially seeing it has been 5 weeks and I've not had any scans or anything so going on blind faith still!!!!

I did feel a solid kick last week at 15+1, but nothing solid again since, only flutters and bubbles...
 
I have my 16 week miwife appointment tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to it. I love going to appointments as they remind me that I'm pregnant. Other than the occasional tiny flutter from baby, I'm no different now to how I am when I'm not pregnant - not showing in the slightest, early symptoms have gone and I feel great.

I have a little bump but I think becauae its baby #3 that maybe why. Still waiting for my phone call to book another midwife appointment x
 
I have no bump at all .. Apart from a little podge underneath my belly button. That's it. Hoping as belly gets bigger then its just all baby and not more belly fat or water than baby, IYKWIM? .. Also do you ladies have any remedies for stretch marks? I got them as i hit puberty as i gained abit of weight too quickly and would like to try and prevent new ones forming if i can. They are only on my hips so not too bad and are a white colour
 
Finally they have rang and I have got to wait till march 6th to see the midwife. Feels like agesssss away and that appointment was the only available one until the end of march!x

Did your mum get stretch marks?

I got a few on the inside of my thighs when I was a teenager and suddenly had a growth spurt. After this I was expecting to be prone to them and to get them during pregnancy, but with my son I never got any. I'm hoping I won't this time too. My mum never got any during any of her pregnancies as her skin is very elastic, so I think I inherited her skin. There's no exact science to guessing whether you'll get them, but going by your mum's experiences can be quite accurate.

As for avoiding them, I looked into it loads at the beginning of last pregnancy, as I was hoping to avoid getting them by using various creams and oils. The general concensus though was that if you're going to get them, you'll get them and nothing can prevent it. Using Bio oil can apparently speed up the process that turns them silvery white once you've already got them, but nothing can prevent them or the severity of them unfortunately. Moisturisers will definitely help with the discomfort though. I used both Bio oil and a bodyshop Coco Butter roll on, which both helped with itching as my skin stretched.

My mum did get them. I don't mind if i get them i just don't want to be covered in them as in already body conscious. But hey ho, its something i may have to go through but at least i will have a beautiful baby at the end of it :)
 
We have our next maternity appointment a week from today - after that, we should be able to book our gender scan. I am getting so excited. Been feeling a bit anxious wondering if it's a boy or girl.

Anyone else still have bad m/s? I've had it since week 6 and it is not slowing down. I'm getting kind of tired of it to be honest. I just want to feel better!
