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

[sharan]

I can't believe how quickly how quick July is going now that I look back. Felt like ages away when it was the beginning of June!

Only 3 more sleeps until my scan...hoping for a pink bump this time.

Im thinking the same Sharan. I recieved my working hours for August yesterday.... AUGUST!! Why does pregnancy go so slow, and fast at the same point!

We will be all biting out nails when we get around to October and then the impending Novemeber will be around the corner ~ scary xx

It's scaring the life out of me too how quick time is going. I really must get a start on my Christmas shoppin now as I won't be getting any done after November! The nerves are starting to kick in now as the weeks are going by, worries about coping with a very active toddler and a newborn. Luke has tonsilitus at the moment and yesterday spent the whole day curled on my lap crying. It kind of brought home how will I manage this and a baby? What if Ollie is as sick as much as Luke? How am I going to do the nights again, I have struggled the past two nights with getting up every 15-30 minutes.

Is anyone else expecting their second feeling like this? Im still excited, but with people telling me how hard this is going to be is starting to get to me x

But on a positive note, despite my anterior/fundal placenta the kicks are getting stronger and stronger, can be seen from the outside and dh has felt them :happy:

This is my first so unable to answer Kellie but im quite scared about how much my life will change once LO is born. Im so used to having my routine. I have an anterior placenta and i still havent felt any kicks , if it wasnt for my doppler and little flutters id be very worried as im only a week behind you. Just want to feel my baby now as everyone elce seems to be .

Inoue - I feel mine right at the bottom, under where the placenta is. Feel like it's right on the crease where they slice you for a caesar. That's pretty much the only place I can feel definite kicks. As your uterus grows, the placenta (though it'll still be at the front) should move up some. I've got a fairly good bump on me, but if your bump is still small and neat you might well not feel kicks til a wee bit later on.

Hello ladies!!!!!!!!

lolly- lovely scan pic x

sharan- not long now!!!!! x

Inoue- you are right time is going so fast and slow at the same time!

kellie-w- yay to kicks! I know what you mean about the christmas shopping I want everything bought and wrapped in October and hopefully the beginning of Oct!
I am with you with worrying about how I'd cope with two! Izzy sleeps through the night most nights, but when she does wake a couple of times I am dead to the world the next day! She is also quite demanding and I feel scared about how I will deal with her and baby. I dont think I am going to even attempt to get out of the house with the two of them for at least the first month!


I have had such a busy day- I went to the Next sale for 5am, so didnt sleep at all as i knew i needed to get up early! Got Izzy some clothes and a couple of things for baby, £90 worth of stuff for £40! Then i went to work, had to chase a shoplifter at one point, I was far too tired for it today! I am not at home enjoying a cuppa and had some good news from OH who has ordered me some maternity jeans for next online! Nice and reduced! Anyone else go?

Thats where I feel some of mine down there! some proper little thuds now right on my bikini line, i love it!


Well today I spent 2 hours of my life in the walk in centre waiting for someone to check my wee to see if i had a water infection. My back was still killing this morning, and my kidneys were just aching and aching and i had lots of toilet trips, obviously part and parcel of pregnancy but i was still worries especially after the pain i was in yesterday. Well i dont have a one, just have 2 little babies pushing on my back and my bladder! so bad time but good news! felt a lot better since i checked.

 

[Scally]

lambchops- sorry to hear you are in pain! Good that you didnt have an infection x

 

[Inoue]

Ive also spent this morning in hospital . I had bad menstrual cramps yesterday along with a stabbing pain on right bikini line side, got curled up on my bed and tried to get over the pain. Woke up this morning with minor cramps and bad stabbing pain so rang up the labour ward and was told to come in asap. I thought i might have an UTI but urine was all clear. I spoke to a Doctor who said bad menstrual cramps are often a sign of pre-term labour after 20 weeks, i then got a telling off for not going in yesterday and leaving it to today . She looked internally and cervix was nice and closed and baby was checked which also was fine (midwife commented on her good HB). So now been discharged and told if i get anymore period type cramps then dont leave it and call us! lol. Praying now i wont get anymore. xx

 

[Scally]

Oh my god Inoue, huge hugs, how scary for you! Have you been told to rest? x

 

[Inoue]

Yeh, now resting at home, think I might try and get more time off sick. Still get the stabbing pain but at least its settled compared to what I was, no more period type cramps ~ phew! Just want to highlight to you girlys not to sit on it if u get bad period pain cramps x

 

[kellie_w]

Lambchops: glad everything is ok, when I think about the aches and pains I get with just one baby, poor you with having it double!

Inoue: how awful that must have been for you, extremely scary to be told sometime like that. Hope the doctor was wrong and it's not a sign of pre term labour. Still good news your cervix is closed and babys heart it good.

V day is approaching girls! Our next milestone! Can't believe I'm less than a month away from third tri! X

 

[Inoue]

Cheers kellie . I also hope they got there diagnosis wrong, just got to be careful. Still having nasty round lig pain right side, any suggestions on how to settle it? A hotish shower made them go away for about 2 hours but now there back . Im fine if im sat down, its just when I move x

 

[Scally]

Rest up lots Inoue- get somet time off.

kellie- not long until v day! and 3rd trimester! yay!

x

 

[lambchops]

Inoue! you keep resting and definately get some more time off, how scary for you. Hope you are feeling a bit better, you do what you have to do to keep yourself and your lil bubs as safe and sound as possible!! big hugs!!

 

[Sarahcake]

Oh Inoue, that must have been really scary for you make sure you rest up won't you fingers crossed that all will be ok now you've been seen

 

[Scally]

Hope you are feeling a bit better today Inoue and lambchops xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Hope you both feel better today Inoue & lambchops try to take it easy.

I'm getting lots of cramping and stretching lately, this baby is definitely getting a lot bigger all of a sudden! My bump has really popped out too love it!

 

[Inoue]

Thanks all . So nice to recieve well wishes.

I feel abit better today, just got stabbing pains in right side still but it eases when i sit down or relax. No more bad menstrual cramps, just the little minor ones you get from time to time. Also, i think i felt a couple of low kicks last night, one by suprise and one when i was concentrating. I cant be sure as it sometimes feels like a major nerve twitch/thump (but i dont think there's any major nerves down there?) ~ so not really sure . Im back in to see Dr next Tuesday to see if i can get a couple of weeks off sick. Cant be that far off now from being on maternity leave .

Oh, just off the record, i found that gallons of water has helped ease round lig pain (just incase others are getting it)

Glad your bump has gotten bigger lolly, hope the niggly cramps ease off. You cant exactly expect not to feel anything when you think of whats happening inside!
