Sparkle - I didn't really have a bump until 20 weeks. Even then it was teeny tiny. Now I feel like an elephant!

Off to get ready for consultant's appointment. I'm sure they'll just measure me, listen the heartbeat then sent me home as usual.

**Delurks**

here is the info for supplements.

I too have been having problems sleeping. Have been going all day without a nap to try to sleep more at night which doesn't work so am now going to nap in the day, can't manage more than 6 hrs at night.

My belly is all of a sudden stretch mark heaven. I'm most annoyed but was kind of expecting it.

I have a friend in Australia due a week after me. She has been having contractions for 4 days now. varying between 15 mins to 5 mins apart. First time they got to 5mins she went to hospital and they told her she was in false labour. Poor mite is knackered now.

hope everyone else is ok and get well vibes to the sickie ladies.

Morning all,

I was up most of the night with diawoo-woo, after my bath felt really carp so went to bed and woke at 1.40am with stomach ache and then again at 4am, only to drop back off to sleep at 6.30 to be woken again at 7.30. I feel like I've got a stone or a rock wedged under my stomach or something. I think it might be something I've eaten or I've overloaded my stomach. :mad:

I could be doing without this today, far too much on! I also got the house clean and tidy for oven bloke and HV coming but when I got up the place is a mess, I could swing for OH!

Teenie - in a mug I usually use 1tsp of lemon juice and 1tsp honey made up with hot water to about half a mug or so, depends how strong you like it. Hope you get better soon.

On the upside, bubs back to his usual self movement wise

Catch you all in a bit, doppler scan at 11.30 so I'll report back this afternoon after the HV has been.

Have a good day ladies and bumps x

Well I be back Lady Bumps

Went up at 7am to wake hubby and climbed in beside him and snuggled for a bit then he got up and went out to work for 7.45 and I did fall asleep but I'm awake again so I think today is going to be a PJ day where I can just go and lie down when I feel like it.....

OTE stop lurking when you are up and about in the middle of the night, lol...I was soooo bored last night I was in FB playing all my silly little games lol I did play with my lizards for a bit when their lights came on just after 5am but they are so fast I can't chase them around the room the way I could have 6 months ago lol

Sparkle I didn't really have much of a bump until I was 24 weeks gone....had a podge until then lol

I might start drinking RLT....MW said at the antenatal class that the best time is around 34 weeks to start (but my SIL would argue that it brings on labour and I shouldn't be drinking it until 38 weeks :mad: lol) and she did say the perineal massage definitely has its merits and if you can to try and do it for a while

Right I need some brekkie and tea so going to go do that.....am not officially on ML yet......today is AL lol

Hope MV and Lillian are enjoying mummy cuddles......labour vibes to those in need and hugs for those feeling carp or just wanting one

Ohhhh meant to say HAPPY 33 WEEKS BUMP BUDDY HITCHINS hehe

Wendz86, Rockinbikergirl and Hngrymummy thank you for the reassurance - I guess it's hard not to compare bumps at similar stages, I just can't help hoping it will grow more soon... but as you say, everyone is different and wow anything up to 24 weeks before bump appears properly! It's quite scary as I was born prematurely at 24 weeks, so I guess I am partly worried because of that too.
I was 47kg before PG and think have gained around 500g but my scales are old, plus gained 5" to waist as was 27" before and am now 32". I hope this is about right, will buy some digital scales tomorrow hopefully.

Had a horrible dream where at one point my throat was really constricted and choky, I choked in real life too a bt so it woke me up and my throat was so sore. I don't know if it has something to do with us talking last night before bed about being worried bump should be a bit bigger, can't shake the feeling of the dream.

Sarahangel hope you feel better and that scan goes ok later. Teenie D hope you feel better too.

Good Morning Ladies,

Teenie - I'm drinking my hot honey and lemon now. Pesky bug is getting worse I fill a mug with boiling water and then stir in a full tablespoon of clear honey and a full tablespoon of lemon juice. You know the yellow bottle of jif stuff that you can get?

Good luck Sarah and Hngrymummy for your appts

Happy due date MI3

Hope MV and Lilian are well

Morning Sparkle - please don't worry about your bump or lack of it - is this your first pregnancy? - you are more likely to show later in your first pregnancy (I know I did)
I'm on my third pregnancy so my bump showed really quickly this time though haven't put much weight on on the scales.

Don't forget we are all different and lots of the bumps you see on here are not first time bumps (usually on a 2nd subsequent pregnancy the tummy muscles are already stretched)

When is your scan? x

No news yet? Hope Lilian and MV are enjoying mummy cuddles!

My weight gain started around 11 weeks. But it was just clothes in general feeling tight. Bump suddenly really appeared over Christmas or just before. Around the 20 week mark anyhow. It's pretty obvious now it's a bump lol.

Also - I have another Emma's Diary code if anyone wants it? I won't be using it. Will keep it for a day or two and then it'll have to go in my deleted items as it's in my inbox at the moment!

Insomniac here too. Been like it so long now it's kind of the norm Oh well... up and at em. Better get some work done! Have a lovely day ladies.

Apricot

Sparkle Im at the same stage as you and just look like I've been eating too much at the moment - can't wait to get a proper bump so I actually look pregnant rather than just fat! OH has decided a suitable new name for me is "Chunk" he keeps calling me it and I keep answering him!

RBG Im very jealous of your pyjama day! Couldn't sleep last night as my arm was aching so much from my flu jab and everytime I moved it hurt!

Hope MV posts that she is having mummy cuddles soon!

Hoping for an early finish in work today - I could quite easily have a nap at my desk (not so easy when my boss sits 5 feet away from me!)

Hope all big bumps and little bumps are doing well!
