Morning everyone,

Its my last day at work this week and then not back in until Tuesday (after my scan on Monday)!!!! Woooo hooooo! I'm starting to get a little nervous about it now, worrying that something will be wrong, I know all chances are that bubs is strong and healthy, its just that maternal paranoia that takes over.

Did read through all ya posts last night. Everyone seems fairly chirpy which is nice.

Regarding the tatoos I only have one, its a black panther on my ARSE!!!! Don't ask! Spur of the moment thing, now wish I'd never had it done, but at least I can't see it!

Diet is going well, I had 4 Elizabeth shaw Mints last night becuase I needed some chocolate, but I syned them so its ok.

Speak soon lovelies. Xxx

 

[pink sparkle]

Tizy YAY for monday! x

Do you laugh about the tat on your bottom or really regret it? My mums friend has a tat on her thigh but has always said when shes old and wrinkly she will look back on the days when she had it and remember the spontaneous fun theyI used to have and remember being young with a smile.

I feel like i am seriously hogging bnb on all threads im part of so im switching the laptop off for the day! Maybe its my subconcious as i am away next week so wont be on...omg i will have to pass on my phone number for texts as i dont think i can wait a whole week to find out how your scans go han and rach.

Hope everyone has a lovely day hope you all have better weather that i have here its bloody miserable!

[Tizy]

Awww yes YAY for Monday, thanks Jayne!

No I laugh about my bottom! I used to get it out to show peeps (when I was a bit younger & VERY drunk!)

Pass on your number, inbox it to me, well defo text ya the news, I'll be so excited to tell everyone!!!

Don't go off BnB too soon tho, I like it when we're all here chatting! Xxx

 

[xheartsx]

I'm so excited about yours and Rachels scans as well! It will keep me going until i finally have mine! Everything will be fine Han, but of course you'll be nervous! My 12 week scan was in the morning (as is my 20 week one) but because i had to drink lots of water, this mixed with nerves and morning sickness, i had to stop the car on the way to the hospital to puke some of it back up! I felt sooo ill. Least i don't have to drink this time and i don't think i will be as nervous either.

My food diary for yesterday:
2 x crumpets & peanut butter
Packet of mini animals (only 98cals)
WW tomato soup and 3 bits of little bread with sandwich chicken & a bit of mayo
Packet of ready salted of crisps

Spaghetti carbonara micro meal from tesco & 2 bits of bread
Packet of wotsits
2 finger kit kat....

....woops!

Have a lovely day lovely ladies!! Xx

Jade, yours is only two weeks after, it'll fly by, tbh this has come round fairly quickly, although I feel I've been stuck around 18 weeks for ages! I think its becuase I always tell peeps I'm a week further on than I am, becuase my bump is fairly large (esp. at the end of the day) I'm embarassed that they might think 'oooh fat cow'. I'm gonna stop doing it now, after all nearly half way there! Actually think Rachel is half way today!!!

I'm so glad Jayne is ahead of us, and I think there is another lady ahead of her, but she doesn't pop in as regularly. That means we can all get excited about birth stories before we have ours!

Oooh this is all rather exciting! Xxx

 

[Cherrybinky]

Morning girls. Im 20 weeks tomorrow, half way. I have no feelings on that at all and mixed feelings on my scan. I hope all is ok and Im more worried about things being wrong than finding out the sex and I have no excitement at all
Ive had heartburn for days now on and off and I feel like Im having a heart attack this morning, out of breath going up the stairs
got weighed and Ive put on 3lb so that 17lb in all and Im now 14stone 11lb! I ate healthy yesterday and even though I wanted M&Ms I had grapes instead I keep saying Im not bothered but I think yesterday, weight bothered me

Ill be packing our case this afternoon and wont be on at all over the weekend after today so it will be Monday after the scan that you will hear from me!

Hugs to all
X

 

[Tizy]

Aw Rachel, I'm sure you'll be excited soon enough!

Girls- there is a fab maternity sale on at Asos, click maternity and then clearance!

I just picked up this coat for £30!!! It says £40 on the link but was cheaper. Think it was the last one, but they do have some of the same at Dorothy Perkins for £40! Also got a skirt £22, grey cable knit jumper for £5, Tights £6 and Millitery style cardigan £7. That should see me through early winter!

Hi Ladies,
I hope all of your scans go well. I was nervous and also very excited! I really REALLy wanted everything to be okay with the baby etc and i was soooo excited to see little one again. The ultrasound technician we had was awesome and really explained everything in detail. Apparantly the umbilical cord is supposed to have 3 vessels and ours is missing one of them. They said it can result in a small baby but that it wasn't anything to worry about and that we will just get two extra scans (at 28 and 34 weeks) to check the baby's size. So only another three weeks until i get to see baby again! yay!

Hope you are all okay and your bumps are coming along nicely

[xheartsx]

Hi Bernie, you should just think positive that you get to see your bubba 2 extra times. She will be just fine.

Do you have any names yet? Xx

 

[ttcwithendo]

hi ladies i was just reading through and saw this i am a chubby(size20) newley pregnant woman (5weeks 1day) i am already feeling like my jeans and work pants are not fitting BUT i am not eating much because of nausea and the dreaded heartburn. I was just wondering if it would be ok to join u ladies even though alot of u ladies are already half way threw ur pregnancies. also quick question did any of u ladies have a B belly before pregnancy and if so when did ur bump become noticably a baby bump? I have a B belly and am worried i wont show at all till late in my pregnancy.. thank u ladies have a great one

 

[cranberry987]

hello. well ive had a stupid day surrounded by total imbeciles who shouldnt be let out in polite society let alone looking after children, such a bad attitude all of them and they should be ashamed. Also i got blocked in twice by them in the carpark! Honestly, what prats that they cant even park a car properly. lazy arses.

Ive been told to go to my scan with a full bladder but everyone else says you dont have to, dunno what to do tbh, i suppose go with it full and have a wee if they say its ok?

cherrybinky - dont worry about not being excited, i think for a lot of ppl it doesnt seem real. good luck at the scan, post pics asap!

Tizy - the asos stuff looks great, I can sometimes fit a 16 but dont wanna risk it online so thats out for me, every year i say i want a coat but i never buy one, i actually havent got one. I just wear cardys and get cold. Ill probably stop work in like october or something, or just work remotely from then so wont be going outside much

bernie - sorry to hear about the umbilical cord thing, sounds like not much to worry about tho, im getting growth scans and im kinda ambivalient about them. I dunno if theyll be able to see much which looks like a baby or if itll just be leg, head, arm as by then itll be much bigger, I dunno.

ttcwithendo - hi try eating a little bit more if youre feeling sick and heartburny, careful what you do eat tho, crackers seem to be the norm for early pregnancy, i always felt like they soaked up the icky acid. also try milk for the heartburn if you can stomach it. Ive got a small umbilical hernia from an operation so am a bit b shaped, im only 16w so the uterus isnt really affecting the top area yet, but im bigger all round, the top seems to have been kinda pushed up. I find that as long as I dress well the top bump looks like my preg bump nothing skin tight all the way down and nothing tight on my waistline.

pretty much crackers have been my diet for the past two days cuz yest is when the heartburn started before that i could eat anything but red meat and sweets now thinking about food makes me gag reflex start to go oh well we shall see how these next few weeks go i hope i can eat a bit more then crackers lol

 

[xheartsx]

Hi ttc nice to meet you!! I hope your ms isnt causing you too much trouble! You'll be feeling better before you know it My bump is just starting to look like a baby bump and i carry most my weight around my belly! You'll end up with a lovely bump.

Evening cranberry, sounds like you're having a rubbish week! Friday tomorrow though xx

 

[cranberry987]

found this online about heartburn https://heartburn.about.com/od/preventingheartburn/a/pregnancyhrtbrn.htm

this week hasnt been too bad in the grand scheme of things, just work has been full of stupid ppl, i think im gonna stop working outside of bristol tbh, i just cant be bothered with a commute all the time. anything over 50 miles is out now, thats until the work dries up over the summer and im back to 4hr commutes every day!

going to tesco to buy cooked roast chicken, if they dont have it i think i might cry. cant think of one other thing in the entire universe i want to eat.

 

[pink sparkle]

Welcome TTC glad you have joined us.

Have i got a b belly? Pretty normal looking bump with a saggy flabby bit below the belly button? Like cranberry said so long as dont wear clingy tops doesnt notice and just looks like baby...saying that somedays i still think i just look like ive got a fat tum. Oh well in a few more weeks ill prob be as big as a house and wishing i had a small bump again! x

Cranberry how come you have to have growth scans hun? have i missed previous post? ive got to aswell cos of low birth weights. Sorry you have had a rubbish day at work, i feel for you having to commute i only had a short commute to work but when i got so big it was not nice and when i gave up work i pretty much gave up driving.

TTC - do you use gaviscon? when my heartburn flares up i literally drink the stuff, doc said its fine when pregnant.

Rach i hope you have a lovely weekend away hun, im sure that once you have your scan and are told that bubs is healthy and doing well and once you find out the sex you will feel more excited. It can seem a bit unreal inbetween scans and appointments...i still sometimes think.....omg im having another baby! Thanks for the tip obem usa cant wait! Sorry your feeling a bit down about weight gain, hey remember what you have told us huni - sod it were pregnant and were lose it after - we can all support eachother once babies have arrived and we are battling the extra lbs! xxx

Han - that sounds like something i would have done - got my tat out when drunk lol! I will defo send you my number cant wait to hear how you get on x

Bernie - i know ive posted before about the umbilical cord issue, im sure hun that if they were seriously worrid they would tell you, obviously your going to worry a little its your bay and your body but im sure you will be well looked after and baby will be perfect! x

Well the day i chose to stay off the net was full of drama on fb and i missed it lol! that will teach me! Han - im not bored of bnb just worried that i go on too much ...worry you must all think get a bloody life woman and off the net! hehe today took ds to the park after he had a nap (Slept for too long) but he seemed a lil under the weather ..he will probably be awake until 10 tonight now.

 

[cranberry987]

I'm under the diabetic clinic as I have insulin resistance due to pcos. They're just monitoring me for gd basically but I've essentially failed the test before I was even Preg. If i did a gtt I bet it would be neg as I can eat ice-cream and blood sugar be normal buy hey ho

Good news everyone! I got the last chicken in Tesco! It's v exciting. I've realised tho that I've basically had two chicken sandwiches today tho. Gonna eat some fruit after to even the stodgy out

 

[xheartsx]

tesco cooked chickens are so good!! the feeling of let down if they don't have any left is horrendous!

OBEM soon. I do love it! Xx

 

[spellfairy]

Roast chicken yum I am still feeling slickly thou not eating much. Done an itelligender test and it says a boy! So if their identical it will be two if their frats it ll will be at least one of each.

 

[pink sparkle]

Cranberry - i dont know much about diabetes and blood sugar levels etc and only a lil bit aout gd, hope everything pans out ok and hopefully they test you just so you can be given the all clear! Better that they keep an eye on you to be on the safe side x My sis has pcos and my mum keeps doing my head in saying she will only ever conceive if she has ivf! I keep trying to tell her not necessarily! Odds slightly more against her as shes also a lesbian, but i keep saying before she opts for ivf to consider a donor far less invasive and it could work...hopefully x YAY at the chicken! Hope you enjoyed it! x
