hey girls not been on in a while, congrats to those who have had thei gender scans. my big news...
felt baby move on sunday, then monday and so on! still not regualr but i feel it at least once a day.
what a weird and wonderful feeling it is.
also on monday oh felt the kick so must be pretty hard!
 
aw congrats Apple!!! I am so jealous! I have only felt baby twice since 16 weeks. I know its going crazy in there because i saw it. I'm just waiting for the day i fell baby all the time.
 
oh yay that is so exciting.. DH still hasn't felt baby.. damn anterior placenta. I feel baby on and off.. mostly in the evening.
 
Yay for movement. My movements are still very lown down and I am getting weird vibrating sensations in my bottom lol

When does everybody plan on going on maternity leave and how long for? I know US ladies get a lot less time than us in the UK. Sad really. I plan to finish a week before my due date this time, as I had 3 weeks off last time and then my son was 6 days late. I was so bored. I will be taking my full 52 weeks again x
 
UK ladies get 52 weeks?!?!!?!!!! We only get 12 here in the US!! Gotta love the good ol US of A :/

The last couple of months are unpaid but I think most employers have Keep In Touch days (KIT) where you can go into your workplace up to 10 times, for only an hour if you want to and you get a full days pay. This helps lots. I'm not sure about any other employers but I can also use any holiday I have and be paid in full for that period.

We are very lucky in the UK. We do moan about a lot of things sometimes but in comparison to some countries we get a great deal.

12 weeks! Wow :hugs:
 
52 weeks?!? holy crap that is a long time! wow! i wish the US would work that way... bring me some gas and air why they're at it!!

congrats to those who are starting to feel baby kick!
found out today my ultrasound is on April 2nd! it seems so far!! was hoping i would be one of the lucky ones who gets in early, but nope! hopefully once baby starts moving around it will hold me over till my 21 week scan... :coffee:
 
We get a full year here too.. the first 5 months are EI plus a top up by my employer so it works our to 80% of my normal earnings... after the five months it is just EI so with is just over 50% of my normal wage.

I had planned on working until a month before my due date.. but my OB kind of sidelined that plan yesterday. He actually laughed out loud at me and said he thinks that he will be signing me off work at my next appt (a month from now).. so super early. Unfortunately I already had back problems before this pregnancy and it is just getting worse as bumpy grows. As my job is quite physical it looks like I will be having to leave a lot earlier than I planned.

Congratulations jmandrews!! That's fantastic news! :happydance:





I started feeling little flutters at 13 weeks and it's gotten progressively strong every week. This week it's been so strong! Today it's been very strong and active. Felt it at work a few times and then it did this weird flip Im thinking when we were out at dinner. Must have been my cold drink, lol
I figure DH should be able to feel it all going on in a week or two if baby keeps going at this rate!
It also gave my home doppler a good kick the other night. Guess it wasn't interested in me listening, :rofl:


3 more weeks until I can get my gender scan. But my doctor is thinking I should wait until 21/22 weeks. Not sure if I can to be honest :blush:
 
Congrats on your pink news!

I'm still waiting for the movements to be regular but they are comforting all the same. I felt baby do sime kind of roll last night. It's weird how I know that!
I told my.non pregnant friend as she said err that's discusting, erm no its awesome!
 
Thanks puppy. Happy 17 weeks to you too!!

I remember wheb my DD did a flip when I was much further along, boy was it weird! This one did another spin last night at dinner. I had a cold drink, and it was active after that, so probably what caused it
 
Thanks Carli.
17 weeks today!:happydance:
So, i got to see baby on Friday as i'm having 3 weekly cervical scans (as last 3 boys were prem). The sonographer did a quick ultrasound to check on bubs size and said they'll do that every time so gonna get to see baby lots! yay.
She wouldn't even look to see if it's a boy or girl til next time though.:growlmad:
I can't wait! Everyone seems to be finding out before me! - except the team yellows.

So how are you ladies now we're all well and truly into second tri?

I'm feeling so well at the moment. And constantly hungry.:blush: Bump is coming along nicely, not feeling so tired and just feel gooood. Except for the hideously spotty chest and shoulders i seem to have acquired. yuk.
I'm using Bio oil now to stop any stretch marks as bump seems to grow daily. It's worked in all my previous pregnancies so sticking with it!! I know it's genetic too but hey, it can't hurt.:thumbup:

Anyone else spotty? Any idea's what i can do about it? never had that before!
 
Hi Everyone! Sorry I"ve been away for what seems like forever. I'm so excited for everyone finding out team blue or pink. We find out tomorrow afternoon and I cannot wait. I believe it is the first time ever that I've looked forward to Monday. I'm going to spend few days catching up on everyone's news, but I'm glad to see so much happiness.

I'd like to know exactly what movement is feeling like to you all. I think I feel baby sometimes in the middle of the night. I get this weird swoosh feeling in my belly but who knows could be gas.
 
littlenibble have a great scan! I just started feeling a "swooshing" feeling over the weekend and mostly at night when I turn positions. I'm sure its got to be the baby moving!
 
I am nearly positive I've been feeling the baby move, but it is such a different thing that I can't be really positive. I think the swooshing is definitely baby. It is usually the middle of the night for me when I move from laying on my side to my back. The swoosh happens right around where my Dr. checks for the heartbeat, just below my belly button. It will happen once or twice then nothing. I've also felt just a few nudges that I think is baby, but it really could be gas. I'm ready to get some real feeling baby movement and some movement that you can feel from the outside so my husband can get in on the baby action.
