[Cherrybump]

Hey ladies i had my gender scan today. I have to say i think most of us think we're having one sex and turns out the be the other lol.

I was hoping for a boy and had to asked for the lady to check she said looks like a girl but baby could be hiding his bits so she wasnt 100% but thats ok aslong as baby is healthy is the main thing. but i did hope for baby to be a boy never min girls have loads more clothes lol x

kraftykoala Im getting uncomfortable now I found my self just walking around the house yesterday, the bed and lounge was not doing the job lol,

Congratulations cherry your scan pic is really clear!

I've been feeling much stronger kicks the past few days. Unfortunately I can never get my husbands hand there in time to feel them.. Alfie has a trick of going quiet once we are trying to feel him! Just can't wait for my husband to be able to feel him

The boys felt the baby move today, youngest (6) was pretty disinterested, but DS1 (9) seemed really excited. She's been really active today, having a little party in there!

I also put a deposit down on a pram today as I wandered into Mamas and Papas to have a look at the model I wanted was £50 off and £30 off a carseat if you bought that too, so saved £80 on the travel system

I'm getting uncomfortable too! Wake up in the night with cramps in my back from balancing big bump mid air...can't wait til it's big enough to rest on the bed while I'm sleeping! I tried different wedge pillows but they all just end up on the floor I've been having some tendon pains so I think I'm in a growth spurt - lots of growing pains! My abs are really sore and I'm just uncomfortable overall Hopefully I can do some yoga soon as there just hasn't been time and I think I'm getting stiff.

Congrats Cherry! Welcome to team

21 hours until turkey time! CANNOT WAIT

I have this problem too but I don't want to fight with the pillow every time I flip over. The most comfortable position I've found is to lay on your side, but turned more towards laying on your belly--put one leg straight out and hike the other one up beside you like you're going to mount a horse! This way the belly is resting on the mattress but with the one leg hiked you've taken the pressure of your body off of it so you don't feel like you're laying on a watermelon, and you don't have to deal with the pillows! Plus I'm a belly-sleeper ordinarily, so this is as close as I can get to my "regular" position!

Currently I've been using a body pillow and another small pillow behind my back.. I lay like Athena does.. Plus If I roll over and belly hurts I just tuck the small one I use my for my back under my belly

I have been sleeping, or trying to, in a similar position... only I have a half/curl boppy pregnancy pillow that I use under my leg that is "brought up like I am going to mount a horse." I find this, and sleeping on the couch with my bakc tucked against the cushions, to be the two best positions.

hi all

hope everyones well.
25 weeks today *YAY* not really much to update as nothings really happening.
little man is so active hes already much more active than my daughter was. erm i have my cervix scan today at 1010 then midwife and consultant appointments so a fun morning at the hospital for me. Am hoping when they do my cervix scan i'll get a peak at my little man too.
im desperate to go baby shopping but am holding off til after xmas not through choice just because my daughter is bankrupting me this xmas lol
feel a bit disapointed im not decorating the nursery this time round that was so exciting last time and getting it all set up but as it is gender nuetral (teddy bear themed) my hubby and i dont see the point in going crazy and painting it blue and getting new bedding etc as my daughter only used the room for 15 months. we will prob do like we have done for my daughter that once he goes into his big boy bed he can choose how he wants his room decorated.

Oh and i feel like a whale at the moment havet took a bump pic in 2 weeks So will take one later and upload but im already bigger than what i was with my daughter when she was delivered at 35 weeks!

Hope you all have a good day!

Oh wow, I actually thought I was maybe a little cuckoo! I sleep in the "hiking up into a horse" style LOL
I actually bought a long pillow just from our local Target, nothing fancy and I fold one edge over so it's shaped like a "v" with the open end towards me. The top goes under my head, the bottom goes between my hiked up leg and the opening of the "v" sort of acts like a cushion to protect the belly and not put so much pressure right in the center.

 

[rose.]

I sleep like this too! Must be the pregnancy position of choice. It's funny how lying on my back has become such a nice thought, but obviously I can't miss being able to sleep however I like!

It's all worth it for my little boy though

 

[Cherrybump]
