12 to 24 week pregnancy thread

Morning all!

Just popping in to say I hope that we all have a good day.

I am really looking forward to my McDonalds lunch today! I have been restricting myself because they're unhealthy and I feel like I should eat as healthily as possible for the baby.

However - today I am going to have a double cheeseburger, fries with sweet and sour sauce and a diet coke! :j I have been craving it and I am going to give in! yee haa!

I have also been craving strawberry nesquik. I've been drinking gallons!

Have any of you guys got any cravings for food and drink? Are they naughty cravings or just weird? Anyone craving someting they don't usually like?

Strawberry nesquik is the only thing I've had proper cravings for! Happened around 12 weeks mark - drunk gallons of the stuff!

Morning everyone!

Re the nesquick, could it be that you don't drink much milk and your body is craving it? I went through a phase at about 14 weeks where I wanted cheese on everything, and was chatting to a friend that said she drank at least a pint of milk a day... I'm not a huge milk fan, so tried having a skinny hot chocolate a few times a week and lo and behold, the cheese monster disappeared!

Also, i popped in to Gap in Kensington yesterday to try and find a pair of grey maternity leggings, but discovered instead their maternity sale... I picked up 2 plain long sleeved tops, 2 coloured long length wide strap vest tops, a jumper, and a tshirt for £30! I bought a couple of pairs of their maternity skinny jeans a few months ago and i have been living in them constantly, and was starting to worry that i'd ruin my normal tops and jumpers by stretching them... Now i have some lovely things to wear at a bargain price!

I think you can order online too.

Happy Wednesday everyone xx

Rebekah - so pleased your scan went well and a little girlie is on the way

cant remember who mentioned about when bump showed properly - probably about 18 weeks for me - people who i dont know that well at work were asking me if i was pregnant. feel i am growing by the day at the moment - still wearing my usual clothes with help of belly belt and bando

went to florence and the machine gig last night in nottingham with my sister - felt baby move a few times, probably was wondering what the hell was going on.

had a day off work today, baked a cake and did general house stuff. have 20 week scan next wednesday, cant wait - good luck to peeps who have scans coming up or midwife appts

I think you’re right there rakkibeth – I don’t usually drink milk – not even in my tea, I prefer it black.

Are we twins? !!!

Robyn297 – Congrats on your scan and having a little boy!!


Jedi – you’re next on the list for your scan. It’s 2 days before mine. I know you’ve got to have some checks on the baby because of your OH’s nephew but are you planning on finding out the sex too? Good luck for it.

Hello Girls!
I had 24 weeks visit today and I heard my LO's heartbeat
I'm 24 weeks gone, it's time to say goodbye, thank you for support and see you on Pregnancy and Newborn until 1 year old threads

Hi everyone, last night I stumbled across something called the nub theory. It is a way to predict the sex of your child from your 12 week scan picture. I have used the nub theory on my 12 week scan picture and that shows that I am expecting a little girl......we will see. I have been trying to find my old 12 week scan pictures from my son and daughter to see if I would have predicted them correctly. If you havent heard of this its worth googling nub theory. Google brings up a you tube video which demonstrates the theory quite well. It would be interesting if some of you ladies who already know the sex could check out your old 12 week scan pictures to see if you would have been able to correctly predict the outcome.......

i wasnt aware of it for my two boys but did 'use' it on my last pregnancy combined with the skull theory, both indicated a girl which was correct. the lady who did the scan scoffed at me when I mentioned it, to which i did this in my head !

Omg I need a bra that fits. Moan moan moan. Is that so hard to find. Need a moulded non underwired cos I'm so well endowed, a soft cup one would leave them around my belly button. Bravissimo have none. Mother are keep misfiring me. Any suggestions girls? Pre pregnancy I was a 32g and they measuring me now as a supposed 34f but keep fitting me in 36g bras!!!
