[gypsy1981]

Awww so cute I say boy based on the second picture - although I'm still never sure if I'm looking at the right part for the nub!

 

[dt1234565]

COUNTDOWN FOR 20 WEEK SCANS!!!!! xx

I try and guess from the skull but apparently that isn't particularly reliable lol. I have to say most times i've silently guessed on a pic it has quite often turned out to be what I thought. I am leaning towards a boy for you too. Its forehead looks a bit like my babys so hopefully mine is a boy too lol. Of course I could be completely wrong pmsl xx

Just ordered my Angel Sounds Doppler too, should be here in next couple of days soooo excited

 

[meganOUFC]

a friend of mine was just selling one of those. but i will not be getting one. Too tempting though

 

[moggi]

I never thought I'd be one for wanting one either but since I've actually been pregnant I've surprised myself. Dopplers, private scans...... what next?! lol.

Oh god, another craving to the list, Mark thinks its absolutely disgusting lol, CRAB PASTE. Getting through a jar a day at the mo (on toast). Hope it isn't harmful, it says it contains shellfish but I'm not convinced its in high amounts. It is called Crab 'flavour' paste after all lol. Fighting the urge now to have some but popped a pizza in the oven instead. xx

 

[gypsy1981]

Ewwww - that is one craving I definitely won't be joining in on! I just can't get enough milk at the minute, strawberry, chocolate, plain... anything really! I've been doing some research though and apparently baby is using up excess calcium at the minute as it's cartilage is starting to harden into bone so maybe that's why I'm craving it?

I quite like the idea of a doppler but I think I'd freak myself out too much if I couldn't find the heartbeat. Do you mind if I ask how much you paid for it?

On a separate note - when does everyone have their 16 week midwife appointments? Mine is on 8th December as that's when I should have been 16 weeks but now that the hospital have moved me forward I don't know if I'm supposed to change it? Do you get to hear the heartbeat at the 16 week appointment?

 

[minidancer]

Don't think il be joining that craving either moggi ha ha!! It will be fine to eat tho so eat as much a you like!!

I don't get a 16 week app this time, I think because this is my 2nd baby. I can't remember if they checked heartbeat at 16 weeks, sorry I am totally rubbish!!! I don't get a check up now til after new year at 22 weeks I think xxx

 

[moggi]

Yes I suppose I'll be worrying myself stupid with it lol. I got it off ebay £22.99 with free P&P includes the gel, battery, recording cable, couple of cds one to record babys heartbeat on to. Some were a pound or two cheaper but had longer delivery times.

I know the crab paste is pretty gross isn't it? I can't stop munching, i'm ravenous!!! Lol.

I've got my 16week appointment on the 5th December, I'll actually be 15+6 but they only do Mondays and I didn't really want to leave my thyroid function test a week longer if that makes sense. xx

 

[moggi]

Don't think il be joining that craving either moggi ha ha!! It will be fine to eat tho so eat as much a you like!!

I thought it'd be ok to eat, even I know its disgusting but I just can't help myself!! lol xx

 

[gypsy1981]

That's a pretty good deal! Ooh it's tempting to buy one.

Do you know whether we get to hear the heartbeat at this appointment? A few people have told me I will so I'm hoping so. I'll be 16w6d at mine so I'm tempted to try and bring it forward.

 

[meganOUFC]

Mines December 14th I think. And I have always heard the heartbeat at that stage. I believe u can hear it from 14weeks in some cases!

I love crab paste!!!! And crab sticks and anything like that! I craved salmon when I was pregnant with Chloe and then the 3rd trimester it was prawns.
With Connor I craved toilet cleaner (smelling not eating!)
Katie was crunching frozen coke ???????

 

[moggi]

Lol. Talking of crab paste I've lasted long enough today without a fix, got to have some!! xxx

 

[dt1234565]

Yea, they will listen to the heartbeat then. I have my 16 week appointment with my consultant on 14th Dec.

x

 

[dt1234565]

Are you all much smaller now the bloat has gone? I feel tiny now and keep worrying I am not pregnant anymore! Ridiculous probably but I feel so much smaller....

 

[minidancer]

Quite right moggi, you satisfy your crab paste cravings!!

I must be the only one without a 16 week app, altho I have my wee bonus scan at 17 weeks.

I'm def not smaller now bloat has gone, I feel huge already but iv only put on a couple of pounds. Just waiting for the how far along at you comments and the look of shock when I tell them

 

[minidancer]

Aaaaarrrggghh bloody hormones, I cry like a baby everytime the John Lewis christmas advert comes on-my hubby thinks I am completely nuts!!! Anyone else crying at stupid things? xx

 

[moggi]

I cry at everything still, could cry now for no reason lol. Keep having horrible nightmares too, really disturbing.

I was massive on Tues and all of a sudden bloat really seems to have gone. Can defo see baby at the bottom its quite obvious but higher up has gone right down. Feel a bit of a freak lol xxx
