Just a quick drop in as I'm in bed about to get some

Bethany - hope your LO heals well, you feel helpless when there in pain

Caroline - can't wait for an update

Congrats on 2nd tri Katya!

Sorry about your son's arm Bethany I never broke any bones as a kid, but my sister did. They bounce back quick, and heal much faster than adults.

Sorry about your cat Caroline I would be so sad putting my pet down too

 

[mrsc81]

Happy Due Date Caroline
Hope little lady doesn't keep you waiting too long!

 

[Diddums]

Ooo yes happy due date Caroline! Hope the little missus comes soon xx

 

[seabean]

Good luck Caroline - I hope she comes soon! You must be so excited to meet her!

 

[Rachel789]

Happy due date Caroline! She will be here anytime now how are you feeling?

Thanks ladies. We had an appointment today with an ultrasound and NST. Everything looked good. They estimated her weight around 8 pounds and we could see she has a head of hair on her from the ultrasound. The doctor checked me and not only has she not really dropped down but I'm not dilated either. I just have to wait it out but they have scheduled me for an induction next Monday. Hopefully I'll go before then but we'll see. I have another NST on Thursday just to make sure everything is still ok. So I will keep you ladies informed but I guess I will be breaking the trend of going early! Just excited to meet my little girl, we just have to be patient.

 

[mrsc81]

Good Luck

 

[Diddums]

Hopefully she will drop and you can dilate ASAP lol!

Ladies who used progesterone pesseries, when did you stop? I'm 13+2 today and I finished my last one yesterday. I called dr this morning and he said to just stop and that would be ok. I was on 200mg a day. Is this normal?

I bought a maxicosi cabriofix car seat yesterday. I had a £25 amazon voucher which I got through signing up to amazon family, and the price was £84 on amazon so got the seat for £59. Thought that was a really good price! Also bought a full length body pillow from Argos which was half price at £9.99. Had really good reviews and will come in handy when bump grows

When did you ladies start feeling baby move? Xxx

 

[mrsc81]

Heard good things about that pillow
I felt baby move around 14 weeks which is early for a 1st pregnancy, but everyone is different

 

[Diddums]

Thanks Lou, what does it feel like at first? I'm a bit fluffier so reckon it will be more like 17-18 weeks but just wondering what to look out for

Can't believe I'm 14 weeks on Saturday

 

[foquita]

oh no caroline, i'm so sorry to hear about kit i would be devastated to lose a cat so understand how upset you must be happy due date! i hope she surprises you and comes all of a sudden

bethany, your poor son! ouch! glad he won't have to have the big cast on all summer though i've never broken a bone, i was always jealous of people who got a cast because people got to write on them

 

[foquita]

katya i can't believe you're almost 14 weeks either, your pregnancy has flown in!

i want a full body pillow but i want a snoogle! they are american though so i don't think i'll be able to get one great deal on the car seat, i signed up for amazon family too yay need to find something to spend my voucher on!

 

[Diddums]

Lol Nat I was going to spend the voucher on toys and clothes but thought I might as well get something more useful!

 

[foquita]

yeah that makes much more sense! i don't have a car yet but will hopefully pass my test and get a car in the summer so maybe i could use mine for a car seat too

Caroline Emma did not drop til my waters broke! Then it was ALL on! So don't worry about not dropping yet.

I loved seeing all Emma's hair on the ultrasound too and she certainly came out with a lot!

Hopefully she will drop and you can dilate ASAP lol!

I first felt movement at 16 weeks and for me it felt like a twitch or muscle spasm

 

[mrsc81]

Yes I would describe it as a poke/twitch

 

[seabean]

Nat - I LOVE MY SNOOGLE body pillow! it's amazing to sleep with! Although sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night and be really tangled up in it and panic, but then it's fine.

Katya - I first felt my boy kick at 17 weeks. It was like a definite poke. I think 16~20 weeks is average for first pregnancies, and they say that might be later if you are heavier. At first I would only feel him kick once in a while while laying down at night and concentrating on it. But now it's almost constant squirming!

 

[mrsc81]

Oh yes at 14 weeks it was like once/twice in a week, got more regular the further on I was. 16 weeks it started a lot more often.

 

[Diddums]

Eeeek so happy. Hubby has said we can book a private 3d gender scan at 16 weeks. We should be findin out gender on 2nd June!! So excited lol xxx
