Oh it was so delicious @sallyhansen76!

Exciting @tdog, I felt movement and BH from 14 weeks for about a week then haven’t felt anything since! I must admit when I first had a BH, I looked down at my belly and said “really?!”

I’m so excited for you to finally find out! Is your ticker right? Only it says you’re behind me but on Page 1 it says you’re in front of me?

 

[tdog]

@Jess0685 my ticker is right, I told @MrsLux to put me down for the 6th as I'd be induced then I never have my babies past 37 weeks due to diabetes altho my due date is 27th I'd be 3 weeks before that xx

Hiya ladies, we had our 20 week scan yesterday and it was absolutely amazing!
Baby is perfectly healthy, with pouty lips a beautiful button nose and pot belly...and we found out we are team.....

Three beautiful boys! What a lucky mummy I am.
Bit gutted we don't get to use our girl name as we don't have any boys names we like lol but hey ho. Another healthy baby boy! So excited to tell family and friends now.

Hope you're all well? I all of a sudden feel really pregnant now too, feeling lots of kicks and looking pregnant not fat now lol.

Take care all of you x

Thank you

Ahh no. Listen needs must come first.
It's so annoying though when you have a date in your mind and it changes. Hopefully something happens that means you still get to keep your appt. I'm sure kiddies will understand - maybe set them a task or challenge of guess the baby gender. Like draw a picture using all colours either blue or pink? Or do dinners using food colouring or something to ease the blow? X

I no its just so disheartening they have looked forward to it for so long with stuff that's been going on they need some excitement trying to persuade my brother as he was going to be coming and got day off work for it also so fingers crossed he does, if not I'll just do as you say exciting stuff to do with gender xx

@angelbump Congradulations on team blue! This does seem like a blue thread, no one has declared team yet
Glad baby is healthy. How are you? I know a awhile ago you were worried about swelling and headaches?

@tdog I'm sorry about the scan.
Damn adulting and bills. They are never welcome. lol. But don't feel bad, it isn't your fault, and I think Angel's ideas are great. Make it a fun filled day for the baby anyways, and your kids will be excited too. But probably isn't easy waiting longer for them or you. SEnding hugs

As for me, I wasn't uncomfortable enough with my nausea and headaches, I,ve gone fell down the stairs. My bottom side is soo sore, sitting or laying down is painful .

 

[WantingababyF]

hey @tdog
Please do not take this as me being rude or anything.
I noticed that you hadn't felt your babe move.
I was 17 week and hadn't felt her move, my scan came and I found she had been sleeping for a week.
I do not want anyone in the position I was and would love to offer to send money for your scan
My heart breaks but it I can help one Mumma I would love to.

I haven't taken it as rude or anything lovely lady and your kindness has overwhelmed me I'm sat here blubbering like a mess, I simply can't take it it is so so ever so kind of you to offer to that for me and I'll be thankful forever for your kindness but I can't xx

Honestly if you need it if only for reassurance my offer will always stand.
My last thought I said to my husband before we found out the dreaded news was that I hadn't felt her move, I had some flutters at 14 weeks but nothing.
If my savings can help another mummy I am there for that.
I pray that everything is okay will everyone's little babies. I should have been 20 weeks today but instead I hold a box of memories.
Enjoy every part of your pregnancy, I would take all of the hard stuff to have Tallulah thriving again.
@tdog if you ever feel the need Judy message me, my offer will always stand

Yay - another boy! We’re all boy mamas so far!

@WantingababyF - Aww, what a lovely kind gesture!

@tdog, that’s frustrating but I completely understand! All our money is zapped at the moment! Xx

Oh my goodness @sallyhansen76 are you okay?

That's one way of getting down them I suppose though I think walking is definitely preferable! Poor soul and poor bottom!

I'm okay, swelling has stayed the same and wasn't extreme so midwife wasn't concerned. Bloods and wee came back fine and headache dissipated for a while and have since returned. I'm trying to cut down on my sugar intake although I'm sure its hormonal cutting sugar out won't do any harm.

But baby Is healthy and perfect so I can't complain xx

Darling you are so kind. I pray you get a happily ever after one day whenever and however that may be - you're one of the good ones

 

[sallyhansen76]

@angelbump I'm ok. Backside is still tender and pretty colorful LOL but I'm ok. No damage seems to have been done really.
Glad you are ok

My goodness, I'd missed your comment about your fall. Glad you're okay, even if a little bruised.

 

[Mrs Mac]

Hi ladies, 20w 2days - can you tell
Gender from these photos? Let me know what theory you have used to come to the conclusion.
I don’t know if I can see gender or if it’s just cord.

 

[Jess0685]

I have vibes for you @Mrs Mac.

 

[MrsLux]

Hi all, sorry I've been a bit slack this week!

Had a super emotional and anxious couple of days. Randomly burst into uncontrollable tears on the way back from the school run today! Had to ring my husband to put me back together.
On a lighter side, he felt baby kick for the first time last night which was lovely. His last first kick!
I have my 20week scan on Monday. One of my previous overseas nursing students (my previous job) has gone on to do her midwifery training so I've offered (with husband's permission too) for her to come and observe my scan for her training

 

[sallyhansen76]

@Mrs Mac beautiful scan! Hello baby!
Are you staying team yellow? I'm horrible at guessing but by skull I think girl.

@MrsLux glad husband was able to help. Yay for him feeling a kick! So fun!

 

[Mrs Mac]

I have vibes for you @Mrs Mac.

Thank you, what makes you say that?
