Hey certain!! :wave:

Happy Onion Day

That is sooooooo cute ur OH felt the baby kick!! Aaaahh how exciting! Thats amazing! Its really early as well...thats amazing!!

LoL i can just imagine trying to build a cot with no instructions We r gonna need to turn Brandons bed back into a cot when its time for the baby to go into a cot! LoL that should be fun!

Aw thats a shame about ur hip and back! Tbh ive been getting similar pains! My pains shoot down one side of my bum and down my leg! Do ures do that? It only seems to be when Ive been walking lots (mostly in work) so maybe we should just stop walking? Haha!! I think u are allowed to use heatpacks in pregnancy...as long as u dont put them on ur bump haha!!

LoL im far too excited about christmas!! I think, cos I work in retail, christmas always starts waaaay earlier than it should! And i get waaaaay too excited haha!! xxxxxxxx

 

[steph1505]

Oh! And heres a pic of my 15 week bump! Just for funsies lol!! xxxxxx

 

[CertainTurton]

Steph - - lovely bump you have coming there so exciting! Thanks for responding re back, I will use my penguin bean bag

Sooooo, I tried the cabbage test today...BUT i think I may have done it wrong. The water I had started out a blue colour (maybe I used too much water when boiling it!?) anyway I tried it anyway and it instantly turned pink!! So I think that means boy!? eeeek I just cant wait another 3 weeks to find out!

 

[smiley330]

Eeeek Certain - onion day!! Oooh I'm so excited to see someone else do the cabbage test sounds like you did it right, the water is meant to start off a bluey / purpley colour. Did it go pink like it did in my pics? That's exciting - boy!! It's good to see someone get a diff result for comparison!

Steph - loooooove the bump!! And yes, you are mad - that is so organised for crimbo. I'm a "do all the shopping on christmas eve" kinda girl - but I am going to at least try and be more oganised this year!! Ahhh I do love Christmas!!

[steph1505]

LoL i cant believe u only have 3 weeks til u find out! Wot date is ur scan? Eek! Aw im rubbish at these gender tests...we all know thats Smileys field of expertise! Haha!

I think I'll do a few of the tests before my scan! LoL! xxxxx

 

[steph1505]

Hey Smiley :wave:

LoL I freak out if all my christmas presents arent wrapped by the end of November haha!! Im a total control freak when it comes to Christmas! Haha!!

I have discovered gumtree today! Have uz ever been on it? There is a girl selling a Mamas and Papas tallboy that would match our nursery furniture so Ive messaged her! Eek how exciting! Haha!! Its the small things that make me happy! xxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Oh yeah, I love gumtree!! You can find some right bargains on there! Haha, I didn't think anyone didnt know about Gumtree

Oooh that sounds nice, FX it hasn't been sold and u can get it! x x x

Mine started on the right side for the first few weeks then it went to my left side - and at 11 weeks its back to my right side.. I think baby came out of right ovary and has probably planted itself on the right side - nothing to worry about!!

I told him when he got home last night. Just didn't want to do it on the phone.

Okay, so now that I'm preggers....here comes more worry....so I keep getting this tight feeling on the right side. Could it be a ectopic pregnancy? What are the chances of that? I've never had one before. Should I go to the doc to find out or should I wait? I'm going nuts here! Ugh!!

 

[Beauty2]

Thanks, Avidwriter!!! How are you doing?

yeah my scan went really well, baby is growing nicely and has a lovely strong heartbeat. I have my booking in appointment this wednesday

 

[Beauty2]

Steph - nope, I have a 5yr old daughter. She's getting bigger by the moment! No problem with being "nosy" as you call it I don't mind at all! I had a baby so long ago and I was so young that I really don't remember what it felt like. And around this time last pregnancy, I still had no idea I was pregnant I was a little over 6 weeks when I found out. I love to sleep on my belly. My last pregnancy I had to sleep on the couch from month 4 to month 8 because I would roll over onto my belly and try to sleep I couldn't stay off my stomach! I might have to do that this time too.

How are you doing? Sorry....haven't had time to catch up with everyone yet.

Certain - thanks for adding me to the first page! I think my due date is July 2, 2012. No plans for a scan yet.

I will catch up with you ladies very soon!! I promise!! I want to know how your pregnancy is going so far

 

[steph1505]

Tray - so glad to hear ur scan went well! Thats fantastic! Aw the booking appt...its so boring haha!!

Beauty - aw thats lovely u have a 5 year old girl! Have u told her yet uz are gonna have another or will u wait a while? How are u feeling? Any symptoms yet??

I have my 16 week midwife appt tomorro! I hope she tries listen to the heartbeat! Cant remember from last time! I cant believe im 16 weeks tomorro...this past week has flown by! And i can definitely feel baby moving now! He or she properly kicked me yday wen i was workin! Just need to wait for OH to feel it now! I think i was 18 weeks when he felt it last time!

Hows everyone 2day? Im jst getting ready to head to work! Yaaaaawn! Xxxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Ahh Tray- that's great! So pleased it all went well!

Steph - 16 weeks seems like such a big milestone doesn't it. Yeh i'm pretty sure she will try and listen to the heartbeat at that appointment - I have mine next tues!

I'm so jealous of you all feeling movements!! I still am not feeling anything. I didn't feel anything at all until really late last time so i spose still got a while to wait. Gosh OH didn't feel the kicks until about 21 weeks!!

My back has really begun to hurt, just lower right side. So i think maybe i've lifted something funny or twisted wrong? I don't think such a specific ache can be pregnancy related or can it?

I'm off work today with DS, so just trying to decide what we are going to do. I can't decide!! We are all dressed and ready to go out, but I don't know where . . . Hmmm!

[CertainTurton]

Morning,

Beauty - no worries pleased to see you here!! Aww cute you have a 5 yr old too Shame about the couch, Im starting to worry as I cant seem to stay off my back may need to start using pillows.

TrAy - phew, glad to hear all is well booking app is a big step too!

Smiley - I think that the back pain can be preg related. If its on one side and lower down it could be being referred from your hip joint. Try and rest up. I have now got a number to call to get a physio app for mine hope it helps some!

Steph - loving the movement! mine was wriggling loads yesterday and a fair few can be felt outside now - so exciting!

 

[smiley330]

Thanks Certain, I will try and rest it. Though having a lump of a DS to lift about is not helping I've had to take some painkillers today as I haven't been able to stand / sit without it hurting!! I hope it fixes itself... what are the chances?

Where is your back pain? I hope the physio helps!

Is anyone going to the baby show this weekend? I am going with OH on Friday, can't wait!! x
