Does sound like you're about to go any second singers!

 

[Mrs Mel]

Good luck Singers, you must be getting so restless, bless you. I really hope it happens soon for you.

Kim, lovely bump pic and CeeDee what cute photos!

I still can't quite believe I'm pregnant, I'm not sure when it fully sinks in?

Even when I was in the full throes of morning sickness I couldn't get to grips with the fact that I was pregnant. I think it properly sunk in around the 20-22 weeks mark when I finally got a proper bump and was feeling regular movements, so more than halfway through Even now I catch sight of me in the mirror and am surprised at my appearance. When I look down at myself it just looks to me like I've got a bit chubby and have had an enormous dinner. When I look in the mirror of course I am teapot shaped

Hopefully it'll be soon singers! fingers crossed for you

What becca said MrsMel I don't properly feel pregnant yet tbh. The 12 weeks scan made it more really and tbh MS took away from it a bit. I do think the 20 week scan and movement will be the next one to sink it in. I'm really looking forward to be able to feel baby

I take it your doctors app went well then MrsMel? Have you figured out a possible due date yet? x

 

[Mrs Mel]

Thanks ladies, I can imagine that it begins to feel real once you can really feel the movement - that must be amazing.

Wana - I haven't had my dr's appointment yet, silly me didn't realise you had to book a week in advance at our surgery (we've just singed up to a new surgery) so I booked last Tuesday for tomorrow morning, so me and hubby are off there first thing tomorrow

Based on my LMP, I'm due 14th Jan so that's the date I'm going with for now x

 

[singers_love]

I dont think I felt pregnant until the movements got more regualr, and I got more pregnant looking rather than just fat!

 

[Poppiebug]

i hope it happens soon everytime i come online i always check to see if its 9 babies born!

Me too!!! Bubba has to be here soon!

MrsMel - I sort of kept forgetting I was pregnant in the early days. I suppose I didn't have the horrible morning sickness and things to remind me all the time, but I'd just been going about my day and then think, oh yeah I'm having a baby, and smile to myself.

We're going well, saw the nurse today and Fletcher has put on 630grams in 13 days and grown 4.5cm. He'll be out of his newborn nappies too soon. Growing so fast!

Don't feel too disappointed if the appointment feels like a bit of a let down - all that happened at mine was that they told me to book with the midwife, asked me if I was taking folic acid, and gave me some leaflets. A bit of a let down

Singers are you still waiting?

 

[singers_love]

Yep! Had alot of lower backache, and tummy tightening last night, am hoping bouncing on my ball and going for more walks will start things off again today.. She really must come today!!! I am going to start my round of massage, tablets, and what not.. hopefully to continue everything!

Thanks beccad, that's exactly what happened! She said 'you don't need to see me you need to see a midwife'! I did explain that I wasn't really aware of the correct procedure and she did soften a bit and explained that the midwife will take bloods and it'll be a fairly in depth appointment. So I've booked with the midwife for the 31st May where I'll be approximately 8 weeks.

It wasn't a great first appointment, definitely got the feeling the dr was annoyed I wasted her time! But still, appointment is booked and the receptionist also handed me some pregnancy leaflets which I'll read when I get home.

Hey ladies, glad everyone is keeping well. Really hope your LO decides to put in an appearance soon Singers.

Been reading but not had time to post as my phone hates BabyandBump, and I'm so rarely at home and awake. Grace continues to grow, the last week she's suddenly filled out and become a lovely chubby baby - she looks a lot less fragile and I can't wait for my next cuddle. Unfortunately I'm having to wait at the moment as she got another pneumothorax (hole in her lung leading to the lung collapsing). They've tried to drain the air but it hasn't gone well this time, so we're just waiting today for the specialist respiratory doctors at Newcastle to call us back today having looked at her scans to know what the next step is.

For now though, here's a picture of my not so tiny girl who is now 3lbs 11oz.

 

[singers_love]

I cant believe its been 7 weeks!!! She is doing so well. Hope the specialist has some helpful advice.. and is pro active!!

 

[wanaBmummy]

Fab to hear she is filling out Dinah Hopefully they'll have some answers for you about he lungs.

MrsMel i went to my doctor first also however i had a better reaction and she was lovely about it and really excited for me. You've got your first midwife app the same day i have my 20 week scan My midwife didn't take my bloods on my first app it was just boring paper work. I had my bloods done at my 12 week scan along with BP, height and weight x

 

[Dinah93]

Looks like we're off for a few days in Newcastle. Hopefully she won't need surgery, but we need to do some tests there to see what the issue is exactly.

 

[kimberley3]

hope all goes well and i hope she doesnt need any operations. take care of all of you and i have postive thoughts for little grace she has proved she is a little fighter. your all in my thoughts x

 

[wanaBmummy]

Good luck in Newcastle and that Grace gets all the help she needs xx

 

[Poppiebug]

Dinah - lovely to hear from you. Sorry to hear she's still having the issue with her lungs, hopefully they'll be able to sort her out in Newcastle. She is looking gorgeous and looks even more chubby than Fletcher!

Singers - how you going??

 

[singers_love]

I am currently not sleeping! I had back ache, and tightenings every 15 mins all last night, and it has continued into today, so waddled, in quite a bit of pain and slowly to the hospital for another sweep, today, and had another MW having a rumage, all she said was that the pain was a good sign, and that things seemed that same as before - though how would she know as she hasnt been there before!! This sweep was quite uncoftable but I think it was because I was getting another pain as she started doing it. So tommorrow I have scan, and consultant... And as long as the placenta looks ok, because things have started happening we have agreed to push the induction back again! Im sure they are going to be so fed up with me soon!! HOpefully I will be updating with a baby shortly! Have a good day everyone!! Also dont know if anyone else had the weird weather yesterday, it went from sunny to hail and thunder storm in about 15 minutes!!!

 

[Mrs Mel]

All the best Dinah, she's so sweet! And good luck Singers! x

 

[swanxxsong]

Grace is too precious!! She's getting to be so big!

Singers, slap that girlie with an eviction notice! Bless your heart, I'm sure you're about ready. I hope she comes very soon for you. You're a trooper!!

Mrs Mel, I was still going, "Ahhhhhh, I'm having a baby!" when I was pushing. Soooo, for some people, I don't know if it ever really kicks in until you've got that little one in your arms.
