Mommyberry I hate apples too! But have been craving and eating them its so weird.
Only certain types tho.

Ashaz - I don't think its too early! I was feeling my first baby move weeks earlier than you are and everyone said it was gas but it wasnt, the movements got stronger

 

[CharlieKeys]

Yoyo - good luck with your scan! I have my fingers crossed it will be fine

Tashee - what an amazing scan!

Cravings for me have been cheese - normal cheese, cheese on toast, goats, Brie, cottage cheese lol. Same as my last pregnancy - so would be nice to think it means another girl, but we're not fussed.

I'm craving spicy things. I usually love sweets but can't stomach them now! I hate apples but I want to eat apples now... such strange things this pregnancy brings about!

Just came back from my scan. Baby was measuring ahead by 6 days so I am now 13 weeks 5 days and due date has changed to 9th October!

Baby was so active, I couldn't stop laughing! It waved then flipped over onto its stomach and continued to wriggle! It's going to be a cheeky one! They did manage to get one clear shot though!

I feel so happy, I just can't believe my luck that everything is ok!

My 20 week scan isn't until 29th May which seems ages to wait (and is actually 21 weeks). Hoping to find out the gender then.

Loopy Laura - This is amazing! We were both on Oct 15 and we both jumped to Oct 9th. This is such a lovely coincidence! Looks like our babies are in a great hurry to meet us

My 20week scan is a little earlier than yours... May 23.

That's so funny! It's good to have a due date buddy!! It feels great to jump ahead so far!

In your face anterior placenta!!! Was trying to sleep last night n turned over and defo felt movement/somersaults in there

 

[kiki28]

I'm almost convinced its a little boy! I'm not sure why but my guy feeling literally the second I found out was a little boy. Also my 7 year old cousin told me last night I had a boy in my belly and I didn't tell her I was pregnant until later on that night! Kids are spooky!

 

[Yo_Yo]

Well my scan was a waste of time. 3 people have told me 3 conflicting things now. I have come to the conclusion my dd1 could have done a better job!

Private gender scan Friday, so will ask more then.

Ljo1984-yay for feeling movement!! Glad placentas not stopping those lovely kicks

 

[kel21]

Sorry your scan wasn't more informative Yoyo!

Yay for kicks Ljo1984!

I've been feeling baby a little for the last week or so Both my husband and I were sure from the start this lo is a girl, but I have been going back and forth for a bit now. With my ds I knew it was a boy because that was all I wanted! Lol. Healthy of course

 

[ljo1984]

Yoyo that's really crap
It was an odd feeling it mush have been tumbling around lol.

 

[CharlieKeys]

Yaaay for movements Ljo!

Sorry about the scan yo yo - you must be so confused

Afm. Before I even knew I was pregnant I applied to do midwifery at uni. Today I got my answer back from one and it's an offer. I start THIS September. Deferring my place isn't an option and, I'd have to go through the whole process all over again. Not really sure what to do - I've wanted this for 10 years, and if I qualify ... The extra wage would be a decider on everything - we could afford anything we wanted without any struggles. I want to take the place, have the baby in October and then return ... Even considering my OH taking the full 26 week paternity leave he's entitled too. But, then I feel like I'm being so selfish on the baby.

May 30, I will be 19 weeks 6 days. (edited this, I wrote the 19w1d the first time)

This morning, my 19 month old kept pointing to my ultrasound pictures on the fridge and saying "what's that?" I kept telling her it's the baby.

Wow. What an amazing opportunity! Congrats. You have to decide what's best for you. Don't feel guilty if you take the offer up, as plenty of new mums go bsck to work soon after.
Have a think about it honey
