Mrs cletus stay team yellow! I'm so with you in wanting the surprise but at the same time wanting to know!

Alice I am with you in the sense of it all being pushed up, I'm a plus size lady and I swear it is all under my ribs now and making me look 6months gone haha 😂 x

HAHA! Yes - this is my problem too. I'm just embracing it, maternity jeans and all. At least we're not in the 'is she or isn't she?' camp anymore - yup, deffo preggers!

Anyone interested in posting bump pictures? I don't have much of anything yet, unless I've just had a large meal or a full bladder, so I'm not convinced that it's a baby bump yet! But I would love to see your bumps!

Also, can anyone tell where their uterus is? I can't really tell. When my bladder is full my lower stomach is more round but I can't feel a lump or anything that I would expect to feel like a uterus! Since it's my first I feel like I haven't a clue about anything!

Amber, i asked my midwife at my last appt and she showed me how to feel it, i find the easiest way is if you lie on your back and relax your belly in so only your bump is sticking out then gently press with your fingers feeling from down lower to gradually up towards your belly button, it should feel firmish and once you pass the top of it it doesnt feel as firm anymore. Hope that makes sense! I find some times of day harder to feel it then others as it seems to be firmer sometimes then other times. I can even kinda feel where baby is in it now too sometimes though he/she is usually pretty quick to disappear again when i do haha! Hope that makes sense and Good luck!

It's my first too and so i dont really have a clue about anything haha but my midwife is lovely!

I'm not feeling any movement yet! Still not quite sure if I can feel my uterus or not, oh well. Soon enough I'm sure! Glad you have a lovely midwife! My next appointment isn't until 20 weeks so hopefully it will be obvious by then!

My scan went great! He’s measuring perfectly and everything looks good. I’m definitely trying my best to stay positive and just picture him actually being here!

And he is definitely still a boy!

 

[Dandi]

Great news Cookie! Glad it all went well.

 

[mrscletus]

So glad to hear everything went well Cookie!! Such great news!!

I can definitely feel my uterus, especially when I am laying down. I tried to get DH to feel, but it freaks him out when I press his hand into my belly.

My scan is tomorrow. I’m anxious and nervous all at the same time! DH will be with me, so that is great. I will also be meeting with the doc right after to anaylize.

 

[AmberR]

Yay cookiedough, so glad your scan went well.

Mrscletus- so exciting! I'm sure everything will be great at your scan also!

My midwife prefers to do scans between 19-21 weeks, and because of DHs work schedule we have to wait 4 weeks until I am 21 weeks. It feels so far away!!

Glad it went well! So happy for you xx

 

[Catmumof4]

Glad all went well cookie and you are having the boy you want

I'm lucky that iv lost weight so I haven't had to get maternity clothes yet lol. One week today is my 20 week scan, can't wait x

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

congrats cookie!

lovely bump gem.

this morning at 15+5! I feel bigger this time than in any of my other pregnancies, but in reality I can't be. I started this one off weighing less (by about 20 lbs) than I did with the others, but that meant my pants started getting tight pretty quickly. I think I've put on 5 lbs in each breast at this point and I feel like all of my organs jumped up and out of the way of my uterus as soon as I POAS

 

[Catmumof4]

Foosh I feel your pain I look about 6 months pregnant and feel like something is going to burst out my belly button lol. All I want to do is sleep but with all 4 kiddies on a hyper one not gunna happen 😢

 

[Dandi]

I told my assistant yesterday that I’m expecting and she said, “I thought you might be, but I wasn’t sure if maybe you had just put on a ton of weight.” Hahahaha! Perfect example of things not to say to tired, hormonal pregnant woman.

Thanks, Cute bump also! I feel the same about my boobs they have got MASSIVE and so quickly this time haha

 

[AmberR]

Beautiful bumps ladies!!

Dandi- how rude! I think some people just don't think before they speak! Why is it that once you get pregnant people feel like they can comment on your body. The only thing they should be saying is you look beautiful or glowing!!

 

[waiting2c]

Congrats on all the scans ladies! So exciting starting to find out what people are having, and seeing that all is okay! You team yellow ladies are awesome, I just dont think I could do it! I have 12 days till my scan and am going to find out, mainly so I can get rid of all my other gender stuff.

Feeling some more kick like movements now but only when I am not busy, was worried yesterday as felt nothing all day but I was also so so busy, once I stopped and sat down there definitely were a few pokes.

Good luck for all of those with scans impending, look forward to reading all about them!

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

We didn't get a great angle at today's scan but we are pretty sure we have another bundle in the making. Should be able to confirm next week

 

[mickels]

Congrats on all the Scans and especially finding out if your bubs are girls or boys. I commend the mums staying team yellow, I would never be able to do that probably because it's our first.

AFM: I'm 17 weeks today and I can't wait for our gender scan, I feel strange because I haven't put on any weight yet, although I should probably not be so sad about that. They say if you have morning sickness off and on throughout your whole pregnancy, you'll be having a girl. So we're holding all our thumbs and toes that the symptoms are telling us the truth.

Hope the rest of you are doing well

[mickels]

OMG!!! I just found out my gender scan has been pushed up to next week Friday (13th of April)... Now I'm so excited I'm already counting down the days

 

[LilFooshFoosh]

That's exciting Mickels! I always like being moved up, hate hate hate being moved back. Sorry you are still nauseous my sils ms let up at 24 weeks, hopefully it won't be the whole pregnancy

 

[Joybell]

I've just had my private gender scan today at 16+6 and been told i'm having a girl. Knew it all along as it's felt so different from my son.

 

[Catmumof4]

Congratulations on the scans ladies!

Anyone else feel like time is dragging?! So much coming up that I should be enjoying this time out but I just wish it was the summer, warmer and closet to having my baby lol x
