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

[ttc_lolly]

Awww lovely bumps

I think it's 10 kicks a day isn't it? You wouldn't feel that many every hour anyway as baby is mostly asleep. As long as you're feeling movement though I wouldn't worry just be aware of her patterns and keep an eye on it

I'm so thankful it's not as hot today, although I'm still sweating buckets. Real sexy

yeah i'm not massive but i am for me as i was a size 8 pre pregnancy so my friends think i'm huge!

i would love love love to be a SAHM but i don't think it's going to be possible, me and hubby own the business together and it's not exactly a 2 man job but i am a lot more capable, quicker and efficient that him that it will most likely end up being me working 5 days a week and him staying home with bambino, after my 2 months off of course! he will just have to cope as well as he can until i am ready, which is what he's going to have to do if i decide to leave early before d day!

third tri tomorrow argh it's so scary over there!

Im not to sure on the kick count either, ive found these websites that say 10 kicks in a two hour period is the standard guideline (same for UK and US):

I think ill ask my midwife on 28 week scan to confirm but im happy with what i get from baby

Time, I was a size 10 pre pregnancy so i know how you feel. I lost a ton of weight before getting my BFP so kind of getting myself geared up for the aftermath of pregnancy to get back to my trim self x

 

[time]

a bit of an odd question but have any of you ladies boobs started leaking yet? mine did last night for the first time i couldn't believe it!!! was so embarrassed i had no idea it started so early!!!! will it only get worse??

 

[time]

and yes inoue i think i'll buy myself a treadmill for after the birth haha!! i am very motivated!!

no way i would feel 10 kicks in 1 hour, sometimes baby sleeps for hours on end and then is non stop for 3 hours! very random but i know what's normal for me at least

 

[Inoue]

I have my treadmill folded up ready for when LO pops out, followed by a good zumba routine and i hope to become me again!

The kicking thing, its not every 2 hours of the day. Its pick an active time (say 8-10am) then you count the kicks, then thats it for the rest of the day (so 2h period in a 24h day). As long as i get a boot from her, im all good

My boobs leaked when i was about 20 weeks pregnant (after DH gave them some attention ) but ive had none since. I 'thought' i had a leak again today as top felt wet, but my bra didnt so im not sure what happened there . Its totally normal though so dont worry, it can just be embaracing! lol x

 

[Inoue]

This is me pre-pregnancy, i now feel vile infront of my DH

 

[time]

i'm sure we will get back to normal pretty sharpish if we put our minds to it haha! i've told hubby i'm not even attempting a diet before xmas though as i am going to go mad on the baileys, stilton, brie the list goes on ha everything i've missed and it is xmas after all!!!

lastnight honestly it just kept coming i was horrified after having nothing, such a shock!

 

[Scally]

Time and Inoue you are both diddy before pregnancy too! I am a size 14 normally- I put on 2 and a half stone with Izzy but lost it without trying within a couple of weeks, so I am hoping the same will happen this time too as I have already put on 20lb!

No leaky boobs yet!

[Inoue]

I hope my weight drops off as quick as that Scally! Ive gained 12lbs to date, im quite happy with that

Im SO looking forward to christmas!! Ill be buying all the camembert cheese i can get, along with mountains of M&S prawn cocktails and crunchy french bread stick, followed by a glass of warm mulled wine *drool* x

 

[time]

mmmmm don't inoue i am salivating here haha!!! i love christmas

 

[Inoue]

My bloody 28 week scan appt had been moved AGAIN!!! Its the 5th time now .

Was on the 30th aug, then the 3rd sept, then the 5th, then the 4th and now the 11th!! Thats past my 28 weeks . I just want to see my LO again x

 

[Sarahcake]

Aghhhh thats a pain in the ass Inoue
Can you not ring up and say that the new date isnt ideal for you? See if you can get one earlier than the 11th?

 

[Scally]

Thats very annoying Innoue! Why does it keep getting moved?

x

 

[Inoue]

Theyve moved me to another hospital for scan treatment, but I will have to go back to main hospital for labour. Ive already phoned them up but she wasnt very helpful and kept it on the 11th as they only do clinics on Tuesday x

 

[pops23]

That's so irritating!! How come you're having a 28 week scan hun?

Everyone time I pop on there are so many new posts I can't keep up! Hope everyone is ok all good here, got to hear my babies heartbeat again yesterday, 144, all good! Have a MW friend who listens in for me but she is due next week so thats probably the last time she'll be able to do that for me!

xxx

 

[Inoue]

Im high risk so my pregnancy is under consultant care pops . Glad you got to hear your LO heartbeat, shame your friends off for a while. Have you got a doppler you could use at home? X

 

[Scally]

pops- yay for hearing heartbeat! x

 

[pops23]

Thanks!

I don't have a Doppler, thought about borrowing one but MW said best not to as I'm not a professional and dont really know what I'm listening for so I might hear something and think its ok when it's not, or not find anything and panic when all is ok!

Xx

 

[Scally]

Good morning everyone!

How are you all?

Kellie- where are you????!!!!!!!

I am trying to be a bit more active this week, and now the weather is cooler i seem to have a little more oomph! I walked to town and back yesterday, which is about 4 miles, mind you i did bribe my little girl to walk up the hill instead of me having to push her! And today we are going to go for another long walk. I would like to say the activity is helping the weight gain but its definitely not I have put on 2lb already this week! (mind you i think I have had a growth spurt havent been able to stop eating all week and bump has definitely popped more!)

Sarah- congratulations you are now in 3rd trimester!

And time congratulations on yesterday!

Has anyone got any stretch marks yet? My belly is getting very itchy so i think it wont be long for me, I use avons anti stretchmark cream, I did with Izzy too, didnt get any last time but bump is so much bigger this time i think its inevitable!

Anyone got the line yet? can never remember the name!
