Great news Mari!

My 20 week appt is on May 11th psy. That will be with the dr and she will do a scan but not a detailed one. Following that I go to the radiology dept for the anomaly scan but can't book the appt until have seen dr for the 20 wk check. It's funny how different it all is across the world isn't it?
 
Mari, yes I've been having quite a bit of back pain on my left side as well. But the pain seems to stay in the same spot. I know when it travels down your leg, that's sciatica. I'm not really sure what remedies there are for this. I just try to stretch out and massage the area until it subsides.
 
Mari- I had that my first pregnancy. I would wake up in the morning almost unable to get out of bed. My doctor recommended pelvic lifts- lie on the ground with knees bent and then slowly raise your pelvis and then slowly lower it. Worked for me. For some reason I don't get it this time, maybe because I've been swimming?
 
I just typed up a whole long post and I accidentally navigated backwards somehow and it was deleted :[ I'm too lazy to retype it haha. But here's a picture of my bump last week (luv...your bump looks great!).

And tomorrow is the big anatomy scan day! Hoping to find out if this little baby is a boy or a girl! Fingers crossed that they cooperate! :]
 
I'm still waiting for my anomaly scan appointment through the post. Can't have a private gender as nearest appointment is 2 weeks away and might as well wait the extra and just have the anomaly saving 50£! Bought a few bits and pieces in asda baby event today though :)
 
lailee: yea that's different, I think my 20 week scan is the anomaly scan with a radiologist. I do have an appt with my doc but she's just gonna use the doppler and then check in on my overall health. But in your case it sounds like you'll have multiple opportunities to see your baby and find out the gender, I think I'll only have the 20 week scan and then another large gap before the next scan.

mari: I haven't yet had any of that but I go to prenatal yoga and the instructor says to strengthen glutes and legs as much as possible to take the stress off of back and pelvis which can help with these types of pains. So I've been doing a lot of squats and other stretches that other ladies have mentioned.

Nice bump aman :)
 
I think I've lost ten lbs so far. I wasn't trying to, obviously. I'm not sure exactly why, except I go to the gym 3x a week and I'm on carb restrictions. OB doesn't seem worried, so I guess I'm not worried either but it does feel odd. I was kind of overweight to begin with so, I guess that's why the docs aren't bothered. I'm only supposed to gain 10lbs overall the whole pregnancy! :nope: I expect I'll start putting it on any day now.

I'm starting to have a little pain, I think tomorrow I'll start wearing my belt. I swore by it last time! Made a huge difference. But I didn't have sciatica, my issue was SI joint pain.

I loved seeing the bump photos luv and amant! You both look great!
 
Yesterday I had some hip/groin pain, so had a soak in the bath when I finished work. I didn't suffer too much last pregnancy so fingers crossed I get off lightly this time too.
I had horrible heartburn/indigestion yesterday, hope that doesn't become a regular feature either.
What else.... Oh, getting a bit tmi now, but my foof also felt almost bruised, and even though I felt I needed to pee, it didn't flow easily! Then in the night, I went with no problem - could the baby have been pressing down on something to restrict things earlier on? That's my only theory.
Yesterday I handed in my official pregnancy notice, with my Matb1 form. I went into the Midwife unit whilst I was at the hospital on Tuesday and asked if I could get the form, to save having to make an appointment just for that. So now I've told my employers I wish to take the full year off, and that all being well, my last working day will be 5th August. If I can last that long! It gives me about 3 weeks I think until baby is due. My job is quite physical though so whether I can stick it out that long, who knows.
 
Great bumps Luv and Aman! You both look gorgeous!

Good Luck to those with scans today! Eagerly awaiting to hear how it goes!

Halfway mark today!!!! YAY!! and only 4 I/2 days till my scan... I really hope minion cooperates and we can get a good potty shot!

Hope everyone is well and enjoying your week!:hugs:
 
Have any of you ladies here started having any food intolerances during pregnancy? As weird as it sounds, I think I've developed a gluten sensitivity. At first, I though it was my lactose intolerance getting worse, but I cut out cheese and yogurt and still had issues. So this week, I decided to steer clear of gluten starting Monday at lunch. I was feeling great until, without thinking, I ate some bread that was on the table at lunch on Tuesday. Since then I've been really careful- I had my avocado sandwich on gluten free bread and I even ate chicken curry with a yogurt based sauce. So far so good, even though it's been only 2 days, the best I've done is gone 3 days without stomach problems.
 
Xan- I can no longer eat anything spicy as it makes me extremely nauseous and give me the worst headaches, before I was eating spicy food like it was just candy. I think with our intestines pushed up high now some foods will be much harder to digest, hence the heartburn some of us are already feeling.

So they finally called me about my genetic testing, apparently they take the NT scan + 12 week blood draw + 16 week blood draw and come up with your result, they said everything came back normal but I thought I'd get a number like many of you did? Like the risk ratio?
 
Sorry Xan, I don't have any input to that topic, but as long as you are feeling good and getting good nutrition still I would say avoid the gluten! Anything to make this easier on yourself!

Ok ladies, I had a thought - Hubby and I think we have decide on a boy's name: Asher. The problem is the middle name! Asher is a hard first name to match a middle name to. I thought of Asher Ian. What do you all think??
 
Just1- I agree, Asher is hard to pair up, but I like the combo.

Yeah, I think I'll just avoid gluten while pregnant. If it makes me miserable, it must have an effect on my body that can't be good for baby. Of course, I saw someone eating an italian meat sub from Subway that looked AMAZING in all of it's deli meat and gluten glory. I have a huge list of foods I'll enjoy once September comes :)
 
campn: I haven't gotten my second blood draw yet but for my first one there were two pieces of information, the "official" one just had positive/negative screening with no details. The more detailed paper was printed by the actual radiologist and that info was apparently not even sent to my regular gyno. I'm sure your results are fine but I also think I'd feel more reassured given the actual numbers.
 
Asher Jude? Asher Cohen? Asher James?

I think there are lots of names that can go so nicely with it!
