Morning ladies!

So good to hear from you RWB glad things are going well for you, would be lovely if you decide to come back and join us

Very jealous of your trip to Cyprus Skinty! Hopefully the heartburn will settle down for you!

Good to see you here Glitter!

I'm here carping myself because its thundering I'm such a wuss but I'm completely terrified of thunder! Totally irrational I know :cool:

Going to put some loud music on and try to do some cleaning while I'm not in too much pain SPD wise! I've been promising myself I'll try Flylady so maybe today is the day!

Take care of yourselves and bumps xx

*Twinkle*

morning all, hows everyone feeling today? i feel like absolute crap!!!!
i'm 23+2 and feel so big it's uncomfy, i was overweight when i fell pregnant, not majorly over but i could of done with loosing 2st, anyway now i am huge, got a proper big baby belly, i swear i look full term and i darent weigh myself, i feel out of breath by just going upstairs and cant get into a good position to sleep so i'm tired all the time, i just feel so urgh!!!!!
my daughter starts nursery this week so once she's settled in there and i know i wont be called in i can start taking long walks down the seafront where i live, i'm hoping that'll make me feel better.
i know i wont be the only one feeling like this and i just wanted to offload a little. i think this is gonna be one loooooong summer for me

Twinkle I absolutely know where you are coming from! I was rather lardy when I got pregnant too and still had a stone extra from having Squeak.. as well as the 2 stone I already had.. I hate bein prenant over summer. I had Squeak last August on what was one of the hottest days of the year.. plus summer started early last year too and I REALLY don't want a repeat going on to September this year, but what's done is done and we will manage! I am really lucky in that my house is really cool in summer it is lovely.. My middle room has no windows only french doors which are north facing and in the shade ALL the time.. so if nowhere else is cool enough I can go hide in there.. it is hellishly cold in there in winter though!

Look at his weeks positives.. 5 days to 'viability'!!! and graduating to the big grown up thread!!

I found pregnancy seems to drag when you are doing it but is gone in a flash if you think about it.. My baby barely moves.. I swear it moved more at 13 weeks than it does now! So I don't even have that to keep me 'aware' I do literally just feel like a huge fat whale!

well i'm 23+3 today and felt squid move for the first time yesterday, so exciting! It was a proper kick as well. I'm still quite small bump wise in comparison to other ladies but there's a long way to go yet! Hope everyone and their bumps are well. X

Hey folks sorry to be a pain again was wondering what usually happens at the 20 week scan appointment - is it just the scan or do they check blood pressure and urine etc
hopefully this time tomorrow ill know if we are joining the pink or blue club

just the scan.. it takes a while as they have to check all the individual bits of baby..

Hi girls.... lots of scans coming up - isn't it going fast now!

Well baby has reached Viability today! :j and I have an extra scan today to boot :j

Can't wait to see what its up to as I'm still quite small but I only ever feel it moving/kicking really low down so who knows what the rest of my bump is for.

Feeling sad for Kelly Brook's news as she was due around the same time but baby is kicking like crazy so fortunately its not making me brood too much.

I'm really thankful for the extra scan and hope that the doppler/interuterine doesn't show high bp or other issues. Have also massively cut down on refined sugars over last month (except yesterday's wholenut debauchery ) so hope that all tests will be back to normal... though I guess that I won't get any of that at the Ultrasound but at my GP's appointment tomorrow instead.

In other news I have another RL pregnancy buddy so can't wait for Friday when we get to meet up - she's been suffering with MS quite badly it seems but hopefully its start easing off now (13 weeks). Haven't seen her since I was 16 weeks so I'm sure they'll be a lot of bump examinations - hopefully we won't p*s everyone else off too much.

Will be back tomorrow (hopefully with new piccy) so good luck everyone else, then it'll be onto big thread proper for me for more intensive labour speculation :eek: anyone who's not there yet should come and introduce themselves and get onto the big list!

ETA: twi1ight not sure about dizzy spells but am drinking lots and lots of water - keep a bottle with me at all times... am also finding that bump is pressing down on something during the night causing my right leg to go numb, making for restless nights - guess there's not much to do about that except maybe get out the pillow to put between my legs - ah the dignity of it all

lots of love xx FG
