Its June!!!!! 20 week scan next month!!! Whos with me?

[Inoue]

ARRRRR!! Todays the day (at last!)

Im actually alot more nervous then excited. I just want to get the all clear, then i can start to be happy. Also hoping for a girly confirmation

Appointment is at 2:40pm. Will hopefully let you ladies know at about 4:30pm xx

 

[time]

thanks!
yeah my tiredness has started coming back this last week too, don't know if it is or if i've just not been sleeping as well?!

i am hoping i grow more soon as i can still hide my belly if i am wearing something baggy, but my god you can see it if i'm not haha! i do think you are meant to be bigger with your second pregnancy so maybe this is why you feel a lot bigger? this is my first so i have no idea what size i will end up haha!

 

[Scally]

Inoue- good luck with your scan today! Will desperately be waiting for updates!!!

ttc_lolly- I know what you mean about the size of bump, I am so much bigger than I was with Izzy, I have compared bump pics with the ones I had with her and I was about this big with her at 30 weeks! Definitely feel sooooo much bigger!

 

[time]

yes when you see how thoroughly they check everythingggg you are a lot more at ease when they say everything is good!! yes please let us know as soon as you can so excited!

 

[ttc_lolly]

GL with the scan Inoue

time it'll pop out pretty soon and then there'll be no hiding it with or wothout clothes!

Same here scally - I have a bump pic of me at around 34 weeks and I reckon I'm around that size now I only had a small bump with DD though, she was only 5.5lbs but now I'm scared this baby is going to be a whopper how will I get it out!?!

 

[Sarahcake]

Congrats on your confirmed girlie Lolly and good luck with your scan today Inoue

I feel huge Im a big girl anyways - UK size 24..hurrah! But my tummy has just popped right out. I used to be able to hide the tubbyness pretty well but now, nope no chance! Belly is sticking out weather I like it or not lol

Hi everyone

Ttc Lolly: I second about that book! I read the first one in 3 days, downloaded the second onto my kindle but now don't want to read it as I dont want it to be over! If that makes sense! Excited for the film also!

Inoue: hurray for your scan today! Good luck especially for your girl confirmation

Hi scally, sarahcakes and time. Hope you are all well, I am feeling huge also. I am getting strange looks from people when I say I'm not due until november need to find something to wear for tonight as it's our anniversary but nothing will fit me anymore!

Is anyone itchy?! I know it's random but my hips itch like crazy at night time at the moment!

 

[Sarahcake]

Hey Kellie Im good thank you, and you? Happy anniversary! What are you plans for this evening then?

My neighbour asked me the other day how much longer I had left now, she nearly fell back through her door in shock when I said...errmm....another 20 weeks ish?!

As for the itchies, I cant say Ive noticed anything myself so cant be of much use im afraid!

 

[time]

aww i am jealous of you all now with your big bumps!

Kellie the itching is your skin stretching, i'd put some cocoa butter on as this always helps me! and may also keep the stretch marks at bay, fingers crossed haha!

i was only a size 8 pre pregnancy so i was expecting to be showing so early but i just look fat unless i am wearing something reallllllly tight! i'm still in my regular jeans!! i went on asos and bought a load of maternity stuff yesterday, they are pretty reasonably priced and so nice!

 

[Sarahcake]

I used to love ASOS before I got put on steroids and rest and put on a crap tonne of weight lol So many lovely things on there! No idea they did maternity stuff though, dont remember ever seeing that before.

Cant wait to start hitting the gym and swimming and things once Logan is here, ive not been able to do anything like that for 2 years now and its been driving me mental.

yeah they have some gorgeous maternity stuff! just got this: https://www.asos.com/ASOS-Maternity...9&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=-1&clr=Dustypink love it!! i also have it in black!

thinking of buying a treadmill for home once baby is here, seems so much more likely that i would go on it then than joining a gym and heading out in winter when i have a baby at home! plus gyms in my area are minimum £50 a month membership!! could buy a treadmill after a few months haha

 

[Sarahcake]

That dress is gorgeous! And at £20, very reasonably priced too!

A treadmill is a really good idea, you would be suprised how often you actually find yourself on them. My ex's parents had one and I spent most of my spare time just idly jogging on it!

I think a treadmill may be a little too intense now after so long being out of things, and we live in a flat above a shop so doubt they want to hear Nelly the elephant stomping around But im considering getting an exercise bike to start me off. Your 100% right about the issues with gyms, I never want to go anywhere in the cold let alone to exercise and they are so expensive

 

[ttc_lolly]

Thanks sarahcake

Glad it's not just me then Kellie I can't wait for the film either. You must crack on with the 2nd book, it just gets better and a bit more romantic (although still mainly pure filth ), I know what you mean about not wanting to go through the books too quickly though. I might have to reread them all once I'm finished!! I have been feeling itchy too, as time said, it's the skin stretching x

time - If you were smaller to begin with then you'll probably have much stronger/firmer stomach muscles that will be hiding your bump x

 

[time]

hahaha! i might pop mine in the garage so nobody has to watch me!!

exercise bikes are great! unfortunately i have bad knees from impact running so i'm not allowed to go on them

sure we will get there eventually! no idea what my body will be like after giving birth.. i'm hoping i have good genes as my mum and nanna are sooooo slim still and i am one of 4 children!

 

[time]

thanks lolly, i'm hoping so but would love a big round belly in a few weeks haha!

Awww that dress is beautiful

We have an exercise bike and I hope I find the motivation from somewhere to use it once bubs is here!

 

[Scally]

Happy Anniversary Kellie! What have you got planned? I was thinking we should really meet up and compare bumps soon!

I really think I need to read 50 shades of grey!

I am now looking on the asos website, need to get a dress to wear to a christening and wedding!

[Inoue]

Everything went perfectly!!

We had trouble getting full pic of spine so we were in the room over 40 mins and my bump feels battered and bruised from all the digging, but we finally got the all clear when she flipped around. Sono women thinks its a girl but she couldnt give full confirmation as her legs were a little closed but there was deffinatly no scrotum or penis (was just bare between legs) so looks like were still team pink!! xx

 

[Scally]

Congratulations on confirmation of team pink! And for a successful scan, they really do leave you feeling sore dont they?

[Sarahcake]

Yay congrats Inoue
They do tend to push a little bit on those scans don't they. Left mine feeling a little bit battered and bruised! Worth it though
