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

[Sarahcake]

Congrats sharan on your little boy! 2 brothers growing up together is gonna be awesome for them

Sorry I've been a little quiet lately, not been sleeping right and had loads going on recently. Add on top of that a nasty UTI that docs think may have spread to my kidneys! Just been knackered!

Really glad to hear that everyone else is great and I agree about the hoping we get all the way together, your all such a lovely bunch!

 

[Scally]

sharan- congratulations on your blue bump, it'll be lovely for them growing up together! Lovely scan pic and cute button nose!

kellie-w- Yay u made it to Butlins!!!!!! I think your movements have probably slowed because you are running around like a mad woman and lulling your baby boy to sleep! No food aversions I want to eat everything! Mind you i got my OH to cook me some chicken strips last night, took one bite and didnt want them anymore!

hello sarahcake- sorry to hear about your UTI, hope they manage to get rid of it before it affects your kidneys too much, huge hugs and hope you feel better soon xx

 

[Sarahcake]

Aww thank you Scally I'm sure I will be fine, just makes you feel a little sorry for yourself Tis all! I hope things are good with you?

 

[Scally]

You are allowed to feel sorry for yourself, not only pregnant, shattered and everything that entails but also with a nasty uti too, hope you feel better quick! xx

I am feeling sorry for myself too, I have a rotten cold! Colds feel so much worse when you cant dose up! lol x

congrats sharan on a lovely little boy!!! he is gorgeous! i always loved the idea of having a load of little boys whenever i used to watch malcolm in the middle haha!

as for the hospital bag inoue, my midwife said on friday that i should have it ready for 32 weeks, this is what they recommend nowadays so you are very prepared.. i guess there is no harm in being ready! i went on boots online and also cow and gate and got a good idea of what i need to pack!

when we all join third tri i am sure we will all join back together.. i think you may even be able to move this whole thread to third tri scally if you ask an admin how to do it!

i am very easily put off meat at the moment, i was a vegetarian for 6 years so i am very fussy with it anyway.. and this pregnancy seems to have made it even worse!!

hope you feel better soon sarahcake, uti's are nasty but very easy to clear up now they know what it is!! sure you will be on the mend soon

Let's definitely move this thread over to third tri, it's so lovely having people to chat with going through the same thing at the same time. I'm the first of my most of friends to have a baby and it can be quite lonely at points having no one to talk to, so nice to have you ladies on here.

Sharan, congrats on another prince, an older friend i have has just had her 3rd boy and she absolutely loves it as they are so much fun together and very entertaining!

I didn't feel too much movement yesterday but have felt more this morning, I have an anterior placenta too so guessing hubs won't feel anything for a while yet. It's such an alien feeling, the only reason I know for sure it's baby is that I haven't felt anything like it in my life!! At our scan last week babies foot was down by the cervix, must still be there as every now and again I'm feeling kicks in my vagina basically!!

So those of you who know the sex, who has chosen names? I think we're going to chose two of each sex and see what we feel when the baby comes! xx

 

[Inoue]

I agree with asking admin to move this to third tri when the time comes. Not sure who's the most furthest along but i guess it will be around the second/third week of August . Not to long now ladies!!

Ive had little kicks today but not as mega as Monday, it is such a wierd movement; i think im liking it more now . I got my kiddicare nursing chair delivered today so now waiting for DH to finish work to put it together (and fix my car) ---> https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/p...9819-o-t-pregnancy-funny-stories-tad-tmi.html)

Weve chosen a nice girl name (Reimi) but i think it all depends on just what your little baby looks like when its born. Our back up names are Sophia and Kairi

 

[time]

i am the same pops, none of my close friends have children yet/will do anytime soon and the only person i know with a baby is my sil. it's nice having some people who know what you are going through and what we need to prepare for!!

i have an anterior placenta and the only place i feel kicks is really low down, so i think i am missing out on a lot of them because baby is just hitting my placenta!!

we have chosen a name but have a list of about 5 that we really like so that is baby comes and doesn't suit the name we've chosen we have back ups!! but the name we have chosen is wren.

i'm also starting to get used to the movements.. they are getting more normal to me and i don't notice them as much! the heartburn in the last few days has been horrendous and that is taking up more of my mind haha! any tips??

lovely names inoue! sophia is on our shortlist! and good luck putting your chair up.. i can't decide whether to get one of those or an old pine rocking chair.. those nursing chairs look SO comfy!!!

 

[Sarahcake]

Hey ladies, hope we are all well?

My nasty uti seems to be heading off now which is awesome! So feeling a lot better.

Yesterday was a good day, I entered a competition with real radio the last time I was in ikea, I got aether yesterday morning including a £100 voucher for the place!! I've never won anything!! Off there today to pick up a cot and changing table and things

I also got myself discharged from the dermatology department at the hospital as the venous ulcer on my leg is nearly healed now

Oh and I won 2 quid on a scratch card haha!! Hoping my luck extends to tonight and I win the lottery!

In baby related news, my OH used the Doppler on me last night and my son kicked it out of my partners hand! So that's the first movement felt from outside!

 

[pops23]

Movement from the outside, how exciting!! Glad to hear that there is lots of luck on your side right now xxx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Well done on winning sarahcake! And glad your UTI is on its way out too, hate those bloody things

We've picked a couple of names that we like so going to wait until she's here and see which suits her most we aren't telling anyone our choices though, I don't care to hear anybody's opinions or thoughts on our choices!

Yesterday I started feeling proper kicks & jabs, the ones where you feel them from the outside and see your bump move love it!

 

[Sarahcake]

Thanks guys

We were going to do the same Lolly, but we (or should I say I) caved in and told everyone lol Logan was the only name my OH liked and remotely considered so it was a case of well...if people hate it...then tough luck because we have nothing else we like or agree on together! Its defo nice to have a few there to choose from, sometime's babies just dont look like the name you were planning on going with do they.

Yay on the kicks! Seems there's a few of us now starting to experience the heavier kicks and movements! Its like a milestone isnt it, Next up for me - V-day lol 2 a week and a bit to go

 

[Scally]

Hello!!!!!

Congratulations sarahcake on winning the £100 for Ikea how exciting!!! What with that and the £2 you definitely need a third one!

Yay for the UTI finishing, must be nice not to suffer so much. And great about the movement with the doppler!!
V day is my next goal too! It is Friday for me!

ttc-lolly- great about your movements too! We have thought of names too, we havent told many what our thoughts are, and alot dont know the sex.

My OH had his arm across the side of my bump today, it seems that little madam wasnt impressed she was kicking at him to get him to move it out of the way!

[kellie_w]

Congratulations to sarahcake and ttc Lolly on your movements and winnings! Exciting things for all of you! Scally, I had a dream about you! I passed you in a hotel corridor in clacton, and said to my oh I know her from baby and bump... Strange as I have no idea what you are like!!

Is everyone prepared for the heat next week? We will all be moaning by Tuesday I bet! I'm looking forward to returning to normal tomorrow, holiday over. Butlins was a disaster! Luke whined all week, and I mean seriously whined!! It was a really hard week, again it brought home how hard it may be with two!

I'm 31 today... I guess I'm now classed as a old mum

 

[Scally]

kellie-w- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! 31 is not old, u r younger than me!!!!!! What a funny dream! We will really have to meet up in Colchester in the near future! Shame about your Butlins holiday, why was he so whingey? I had one of those days with Izzy today and panicked a bit about having two!

I have had enough of the heat already, walked the long way into town today, ended up about a 4-5 mile trip and i had really had enough of the heat on return journey! Not planning on walking that much this week!

[momiji]

Hey ladies, 20wk scan tomorrow - eeekk!! Can't believe it's gone so quickly. Excited but feel nervous again too. Hoping everything will be ok.

Happy Birthday kellie_w, I agree with Scally your not old at all. If your old I must be ancient, lol!!!!

Hope everyone is ok and not finding the heat too much x x

 

[pops23]

Happy Birthday Kellie! old my arse, young and gorgeous more like!

Sarahcake Logan is our boys name choice too! How funny, I really haven;'t heard of it around for ages and ages, it's unusual but not weird, great minds think alike! ;-)
Arya is our girls name

I'm getting lots of movements now as well, loving it, some days more than others, today has been loads!! Nothing that could be felt from the outside yet but lots on the inside!!

xx

 

[Sarahcake]

Its odd, I dont know any body outside of this forum who have used the name (no idea why, its gorgeous - massively biased or what!) but there's tonnes of ladies on here that have gone with it! We all have excellent taste clearly

Thanks for the congrats also girls I was hoping our 3rd bit of luck would be winning the lottery...alas, that did not happen haha!

 

[Scally]

You best do the Euromillions tomorrow night- 87 million- now that would be nice!

momiji- good luck for your scan, keep us updated!
The heat is killing me especially as my 3 year old seems reluctant to walk in it and wants carrying everywhere! Its such a shock to their little bodies too!

[Sarahcake]

Ooooo 87 million...what would you even do with that kind of money?!
