My bump still looks like my top tummy is just pushed up/out rly but if I dress right it looks plain ol bump. If I wear something tight it just looks like fat tbh. Maybe put some nice smock on and stick your tummy out and rub your back going ooh my ankles

funny Cranberry - great suggestion!

How come your having so many scans? Thats great!! You've probably said, sorry, i've got a really bad memory. Well if you do get an early one you'll probs find out about same time as us!! that would be exciting....

Funnily enough, think i might of just felt baby, but maybe it was just my imagination cos we've been talking about it!

Theyre growth scans for this humongous baby they predict im having based on no evidence at all. I reckon if everythings fine at the 28w tho I wont bother with the rest. Once I feel kicks etc Im not sure Ill need the reassurance of the scan.

Its about the right time for you to feel a kick, maybe youre just focusing on the area more because we're talking about it.

Hi girlies!

My scan went well weren't in there for long, 5 mins max, baby measuring 10+4, which is spot on for my dates, but not theres! And as baby is still so small they couldn't do the NT scan, so I get to go back in 10 days for that

Surprisingly they didn't weigh me! They seem to have changed everything since I was there last and that was only 2 years ago!

I got two scan pics, of the same pic! But I can't seem to get a good pic that I've got on my phone from my phone to my laptop! Emailing it doesn't seem to work Gotta find my lead later or my SD adapter card, but I shall put a pic up soon Really small and dinky looking, but it already looks like a baby

 

[cranberry987]

aw excellent Youll see so much more on the one in 10 days I bet, lovely to be able to compare them

Getting photos from my phone to internet, you can email them to a flickr account and then post the link from that,is easier sometimes. Youd have to google how to do it, but its not hard. You get a specific email address to send em to so they link to your account, mines something like party75york@flickr so theyre all random things.

I think Ive decided when to have my 4d. Will go after the anomaly scan. Wouldnt want them to see some problem in some crappy private clinic and have to worry until my hospital appt, so between 20 and 28w probably.Hubby says theres no point as they all look the same, so he can watch one on youtube and Ill go to the scan, see who enjoys it more... grr...

 

[Tizy]

Rees, that great news, so happy for you and great that you get another scan in 10 days! woo-hooo!

Cranberry, I have Instagram on my phone, they give a url for pictures so that you can use it in posts but it doesn't seem to work on here, I'm not sure why! any ideas?

BnB are meant to be getting an app soon, can't wait, but it seems to be taking forever and no doubt we will have all had our babies by the time they do!

Han Xxx

 

[cranberry987]

Oh i dunno about instagram sorry. I just started using it myself. Like how it makes things look rly arty

 

[sunshine623]

Congrats Rees! And baby will change so much in that time, so it'll be an awesome scan!

Rachel, don't feel bad. I still mostly just look fat, too. I get to where I hate the skinny b*tches that show a perfect bump so early! Guess I'm just jealous.

Cranberry, that's hilarious! I find myself holding my "bump" sometimes without realizing it, but I'm sure I probably do it more to show it off! lol No one would dare say anything to me about pregnancy yet because I really do just look fatter.

Han, I'm the same way about feeling the movements. A few weeks ago I was positive I felt baby fluttering away several times, and lately I can't feel anything. I think yesterday and today I've been feeling little things, but it could totally be my imagination. And my baby was moving like crazy on the ultrasound a week ago, but still nothing! lol

 

[cranberry987]

We were using the doppler last night so I was in kinda an awkward position lying over a pillow, when I strained stomach muscles to get up my belly button went freakish! Ive got a scar there from an op, and a small hernia from the same op I think, but this was worse! It kinda bulged out and nearly went into an outy! Im sure Ill have an outy v v soon lol

 

[xheartsx]

Hello ladies. How are you all doing? I'm trying to catch up on what i've missed out on.

Rachel, i'm the same too! My belly to me looks so much bigger, so i just feel really fat because i've not got that lovely round bump yet! My OH said i don't look as big as what i think i do, but it does make you feel pretty rubbish. The baby goes through some serious growing now, so we'll get our bumps before we know it!

I had my first really strong flutters a few days ago! Lasted for about 5 minutes, but not really had them since.

I'm getting there with my shopping. Got my cot/matress lastnight (ended up getting new ones) and going to ikea on saturday to get the matching wardrobe etc Good old ikea when i'm on a budget! xx

 

[cranberry987]

ooh, if youre getting a wardrobe check out the bargain corner. we bought new pax wardrobes then found 4 in the bargain corner later for like 75% off, was bloody annoying. theyre often a bit hidden as theyre all wrapped up etc but def worth having a look

 

[Tizy]

Hi girls,

Oh Sunshine I'm glad I'm not the only one who stopped feeling things, i think maybe baby has moved or maybe cos I've got so much bigger, I can't feel it through my belly!

Cranberry my belly button is so deep (funny!) it swallows half my finger - I could never have an outy...haha!

Hi xheartsx, you sound super organised, I'm not at all really but we've run out of money at the mo! I'm trying to convince my OH to stick a few bits on the credit card cos I'm so desparate to buy stuff (esp, as alot of it is in the sale). Still need cot matress/bedding, nursery furniture, carpet, paint, moses basket, moses basket/pram bedding, car seat base unit, stand for carrycot and loads of other stuff! On reflection I probs should of just told you what I do have!

I'm really sneezy again today - a-choooo!! Starting to really think about the scan and hoping everything is gonna be ok with bubs, still ages to go so I need to stop thinking about it. Really hope baby behaves and shows us its bits too otherwise I will be very disappointed! Does anyone know whether you still have to drink lots of water before 20 week scan?

Babies babies on my mind, sorry work but your just not interesting enough!

Han Xxx

 

[cranberry987]

Yep, you need a full bladder still. Hopefully they can get lots of different angles with the bubs being bigger, then if leggies are crossed maybe they can look from the side or something

 

[xheartsx]

Oh Han there's still so much i need to get! I'm not as organised as lots of women on here! I still have a while though as do you! I've been sneezing lots too!

Well, i don't know if my hospital needs you to have a full bladder actually. I'll need to check with them! Don't start worrying about your little baby, everything will be perfect!

 

[Rees]

I managed to download all my piccy's from facebook! Need to look into flickr (ta cranberry!)

I bet if BnB get an app it'll be for iPhone and not BlackBerry, grrr! If only I was American I'd get all the apps I want, it seems like the app market for BB isn't as big as iPhone here

Anyhoo, I spose I'll put up my scan pics

This is this baby yesterday at 10+4...

And for comparison this is what Tegan looked like at 11+5

I think they've upgraded their scanners in 2 years

I'm still on after seeing baby, a week tomorrow and I get to see it again, yay!

 

[Tizy]

Awww Rees thats lovely.....I know you can't see much but I might guess girl from the scan piccy. Have another look next week when you get ya next one. Cute! X

 

[Rees]

I keep thinking boy, then girl, then boy, then back again to girl I so hope I can see a little nub next week to have a proper look and a guess I guessed girl with Tegan, so who knows! Hopefully this one will let us find out at 20 weeks, unlike it's big sister who stubbornly had her ankles crossed so we couldn't see anything! No old wives tales would work either, they kept being inconclusive!

Guess I'll find out for sure in 30 weeks A girl I know got told she was having a girl at her 20 week scan and gave birth to a boy

We've discussed having a private 4d scan but my mum reckons we shouldn't waste our money

I'm so glad that I've kept nearly everything of Tegan's, all we need is a moses basket, but two of my cousin's have recently had a boy and a girl, so I'm having one of their baskets I have a load of neutral baby clothes for the first month as we didn't know what Tegs was, all we really need to get are new bottles, going for a different brand as Tegs still have her breakfast milk and bedtime milk in her bottles so I don't want her getting jealous and thinking the baby is having her stuff and we need to decide on what pram, if it's gonna be a double, or have a buggy board!

I think we're more prepared for what a baby entails after having monkey no. 1 Although she was good last night and slept for 13 hours so that was nice! But she woke up at 9:30, so no nap for her today! She's currently bouncing all over the sofa and making animal noises at the disney junior channel, she loves mickey mouse clubhouse!

 

[cranberry987]

My DH said that theres no point having a 4d as they all look the same. yeah right, watch youtube and see how emotional you get... stupid men

 

[Tizy]

Cranberry - yes STU-PID Men!!

Erm, does anyone know where to buy good quality maternity tights? I like the black 40-60 denier ones. i bought some from Tightsplease not long ago, but they nearly don't fir me now and they are really crap on the lycra %, need some good/big stretchy ones!!

Thanks Xxx

 

[cranberry987]

Im off tights. Im using either hold ups or maternity leggings. M&S for hold ups - all other ones are crap and roll down, or Asda for leggings £6 or something and theyre great

 

[xheartsx]

I love my leggings too and get them from asda. I'm gunna stock up on these and lots of long vest tops to get me through the summer

mmmmm malteasers nom nom nom
