Hello Ladies,

Just catching up on the board..

Beth- I am so so sorry my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

Dolly - Congrats on your baby boy

Monro - Omg your SIL is obvious a sandwich short of a picnic, theres no getting through to some people so just smile and nod and leave her to get on with it, I can't see why any doctor would induce that early, I was born prematurely at 32 weeks 30 years ago (my mom had an irritable uterus and unknown to her couldnt' carry babies full term) and even back then the doctors did all they could to stop the labour and keep me in for longer! Main thing is you and your bubs are happy and healthy ;-)

A1983 - Sorry to hear you are not feeling well, I had that nasty chest infection and cold a few weeks ago and felt awful so I fully sympathise. Get well soon.

Happy V Day to LadyKara, Flapjack and GIY

Thank you

 

[A1983]

Yes happy V-day ladies

I'm feeling better-still wheezy and chesty cough and tire easily but actually did some chores today and now makingxa baby list-gosh so much to get! It's so exciting though Thanks for all your get well wishes and advice too x

Today I started to feel baby whilst standing up-so lovely! I'm feeling his kicks and movements so much now-I know I've been feeling them for over a month but with them getting stronger and more constant it makes me so happy!

 

[girlinyork]

I know you keep calling baby "he" but I have such girly vibes for you x

Ha ha yes my friend says she believes it's a girl too! I never thought I'd be able to wait until the birth to find out! Not that a bump says a lot re gender but here is my bump 2 weeks ago (excuse underwear...and state of room-we were staying at the in-laws!) x

 

[BeautifulD]

A1983 I would say that's a bump... Very jealous I'm huge already

Happy Vday ladies

 

[girlinyork]

I think that bump looks like mine did a weeks back

 

[Dollybird]

Happy v days ladies! Sorry I've been AWOL been working and exhausted. Keeping up with the chat though! A1983... Hmm I'm a a bit stuck.. Instinct says boy but have a wee bit doubt... So who knows! Lovely bump though!!
Beautifuld what a lovely big bump u have too ! I will need to pop up another bump pic later.
Afm I'm shattered. The long shifts are wearing me out. Trying not to do anything heavy at work, but just being on feet 12 hrs a day is killing me. Pelvis and back protesting like mad! Got my maternity uniforms yesterday- my normal ones (which btw used to be baggy) where beginning to look obscene! Haha. Lazy day for me today, telly, sofa, and possibly a little bit of housework... A very small bit.
Hope all u ladies are well! Xxx

 

[BeautifulD]

Wow dolly, you're so lucky! I've been in maternity since about 10 weeks

It is big, I feel gigantic!

View attachment 582345 this was my 21 week bump!

 

[A1983]

Ahhh gorgeous Dolly and BeautifulD! I definitely have a small bump-people are shocked when I tell them how far along I am-and im sticking it out!! I don't mind though-he is measuring exactly right so that's all that matters in terms of my bump! I suppose it's like boobs-I think I've got huge ones now...until I see 99% of the female population and realise mine are still two little, slightly larger than usual bumps ;-) They are producing colostrum though! Was so proud! Whilst in the bath I had a very gentle 'scroll down' whilst cupping with other hand and a tiny bit of orange liquid came from the nipple (obviously!)

Also-is this a silly thing to think-I reckon breastfeeding will be easier for baby if nipples aren't huge as they only have tiny mouths..so maybe for newborns, those that struggle may have large breasts/nipples?!

 

[BeautifulD]

I'm not sure but I don't think it works like that. could be wrong though. I have HUGE nipples already

 

[BeautifulD]

Lovely bump Dolly

 

[JFG]

Lovely bumps ladies, Beautiful my bump is just like yours and i've also been in maternity since 12 weeks

 

[monro84]

JFG--I am starting to think that she was exagerating now will hoping she was at least b/c since then she has not mentioned anything about it and they plan on coming to the family gathering next Fri so. I am thinking she was just trying to make excuses to not come.

A--Awe that is so great to start feeling the baby more and more. I still bairly feel him sometimes of course that is the frontal placenta. I would say boy bump also. To Cute!!!

Beautiful--Love your bump so cute!!

Dolly--Oh so sorry you have to work like that 12 hrs on yr ft yikes I don't know if I would be able to. Good to hear your having a lazy day. I am going to have to do alot of house work this weekend to get ready for the family Wed and party Fri not looking forward to it. Cute bump!!!!

[Dollybird]

My normal clothes I had to change for maternity (well the trousers anyways) around 15-16 weeks.. But my work tunics were so big I got away with it for ages.. And in a weird way I kinda liked watching them get tighter as my bump grew. As for nipples.. My are massive! Hahahaha... And incredibly itchy to boot! Lol.
Baby seems to be using my bladder as a wrestling opponent today.. He's been body slamming my bladder all morning! Haha xxx

 

[flapjack10]

I went to a NCT sale today - got myself some right bargains! Loved it!

I'm feeling massive recently! Hubby has felt cheekyface kick a few times now

He played this to bubs last night and I cried hysterically and couldn't stop - hormones!
