Viera-that is stressful and hopefully it is nothing.
Reiko-yay on hearing baby! I have a few friends that have had Ant placenta and they all said they felt baby around 20 weeks. Only a couple weeks left!!
We have gastro going through the house, DH has been vomiting and dd has had diarrhea. I better not get it! I have had a solid couple weeks with no vomiting and DO NOT want to start again.

I don't know, I guess it depends on what they see on the scan.

Viera I hope your scan comes round quickly!! Xxx
Happy 18 weeks chi!!!
Feeling very tired today DD didn't sleep well as she is full of cold and has a horrible cough so she's off nursery today. Feel a bit run down actually and I'm finding that come the end of the day my pelvis is quite sore!! I'm getting so big and everyone now at school will be able to tell and I do wonder what they say behind my back??
My 9 year old yesterday told me I look like a fat tomato 🍅 😂😂
4 more sleeps!!!

Thanks Reiko! I have an inner battle going on but am trying to embrace all that is positive. I really want my anatomy scan to hurry up and get here so I can stop stressing that anatomically there is something wrong. I keep telling myself that lightning won’t strike twice but I know that if it’s written in the stars what will be will be. Just a constant mind f*#%!
Are you feeling less anxious after seeing the MW?
Ricschick being pregnant and creating life should be recognized for how amazing it is and how amazing us women are for doing it. It is beautiful no matter what! Feel pride in your ability as a woman and embrace all that is beautiful about your changing body. My niece told me a couple of weeks ago that people are just going to think I’m fat. I laughed and thought ‘ya probably they will’ but I don’t care. I love having the secret of pregnancy while others may (or may not) be judging my appearance. The fact is their opinions mean nothing to me but MY opinion does matter. So I choose to see the beauty in my ever changing body as I nurture this new life inside of me. So many don’t get the opportunity to do so.
I haven’t seen you but I know you look beautiful...but that’s just my opinion

Viera-I'm so sorry about the extra stress about having to worry about the spina bifida thing. Hopefully it all turns out negative so that you can breathe easy.
AFM, I've been a bit worried lately because I felt the baby moved a lot more previously, but now over the past week I haven't been feeling it as much. My doctor told me not to expect regular or consistent movements this early, but I still worry. He/she gave me a few good kicks this morning so that made me feel better at least. I've been worrying a lot that there's something wrong with the baby. Gender ultrasound can't come soon enough! Would love to see that baby wriggling away!
I didn't throw up at all yesterday, which was the second time in a week span that happened. Hopefully that's a good sign, but we'll see. Typically still throw up 1-2x daily, but the nausea has usually been less intense. I will take any improvement at this point. Starting to be a bit more productive around the house now that the vomiting has decreased.

Im with you mrsstrezy. I'm worried about movements too, even though it's still early. Counting down to the scan, just so I can know baby is okay

Ladies, I am very blue today...realized I really need a new job.
I just don't feel supported and I'm super disappointed with their reaction to my sickness.
I got sick again this weekend and was out yesterday and late today and got a snarky email about notifying. I notified 3 people, her included! Not my fault she didn't read the email....I'm so frustrated with illness and don't enjoy going to work.
I'm a teacher and they don't seem to understand pregnancy as much as other people's illness, ironically.
I think it's time I try and take a leave this coming year, stay with baby, and look for other options (that would pay more!).

I cannot read more without coming back and quoting this and saying 1) how lovely it is and 2) how much I love the ya of the accent coming through the writing
Viera - fingers crossed for more results to assure you soon.
Chel - sorry about your job
I felt a cheeky little kick last night, quite low down. I only feel her when she is having a somersault I guess for now but it is grand. I know it could be days until the next one but that's okay as I have my NHS anomaly scan to tide me over on 22nd December - perfect Christmas present.

Chel-sorry you aren’t feeling supported at work. Hopefully you can make changes and be happier.
Rosie-I love ‘hearing’ all of the different accents and the different words people use from all over the world on here. And yay for feeling kicks!!

Cheluzal-sorry about your job. You shouldn't have to worry about the stress of finding a new job at a time like this. It's too bad you can't just give them your morning sickness for a day so they could see what it feels like. They'd probably be begging to give it back to you.

So sorry Cheluzal that your workplace is not being supportive!
Nesting has kicked in for me already. I desperately want to sort through all our baby clothes and buy some new bits and pieces for our second baby boy. Must find time for it his weekend or I will drive myself crazy with not knowing what I can justifiably buy new for this baby as I don't want to spend unnecessarily.

Ready I am feeling more assured since hearing the hb. And knowing that most ant placentas don't feel movement until 20 or later is good. I think I did feel some kicks today. But I've also had some sharp pains too which always makes you think something... anyways all that to say I do feel ok and more calm. Same with what you say, if it's meant to be... so I'm feeling more at ease. I am really excited to see my baby though.
Chel that's terrible about work. Workplaces should really be supportive of pregnant women. I hear a lot of people say "pregnancy isn't a disease" as to how it should be treated, but on the other hand it causes a lot of symptoms that normally work would excuse your absence for. I don't know what it's like where you live but I was grateful, my dr just wrote a medical note for the entire first tri and work completely accepted it. I know another girl at work who just had a mc and they are giving her all the time she needs off. It is wonderful to know your work values family and creating families. I hope you can figure out what the future looks like for you!!
My friend who was due Nov 30 with her third is still pregnant! She's never had an overdue baby before and this one isn't budging! Oh dear!
I agree about being amazed at your pregnant body and not worrying what others think. I've been wearing a bikini to swim with my kids every week and I know I just look fat to some! But whatever! We read this really cute book at the mw office called "there's a house inside my mommy" which made me feel really happy that I was a lovely home for this babe

Back from my mw app this afternoon. Really nice, she let us listen to baby's heartbeat for a long time so my DH could record it.
She's also put in a referral to the place I want to give birth at, to see if I can. She was really nice about it too.
She was also super confused why I'd been told not have sex or do anything else and basically gave us the all clear. Going to still avoid the sex until we have the scan and see if the bleed has gone but we can do other stuff. YAY
Then she dropped th bombshell she's leaving the surgery and I'm going to be stuck with midwife I don't like for the rest of the pregnancy. I really sad about it cos I really like her.
But otherwise a nice appointment and it was lovely for my DH to hear his babys heartbeat for the first time.
