12 to 24 week pregnancy thread

Oh wow Rebekah, I didn't realise how close to me you live - we used to visit Winchester with my grandparents when I was little - we always used to go shopping in the afternoon, then go to Pizza Express for dinner, before walking along the river and round the cathedral etc then going home tired and happy. I love Winchester - haven't been for a long time.

rj whatever possessed you to have a brazilian - you are extremely brave! I've never got past a normal bikini wax, and last time I went, the got a bit carried away, and did a bit close to my bum, and it felt like I'd been burnt! Don't think I'd have the guts to do the full brazilian, and don't even get me started on hollywoods!

Hi all. Just popped in to say I'm officially 24w1d today! I say "officially" as had my MW appointment and got the Mat B form for work and that makes is official!

For anyone worried about the lack of movement: I spoke to my MW about it today as last week baby was kicking really hard, my DH could fell him too and then on Friday he stopped and until today haven't really felt any kicks, maybe a few "twists" and that's all. My MW said the baby is still very small and all depends on how it's lying and not to worry if I can't feel anything. She also said it's quite unusual to be able to feel the baby from outside at this age and it may not happen again until the next few weeks and not to panic if I don't.

I also finally got my measurements from the scan.
HC 178mms, FL 33mms, AC 146mms
That was at 20w5d. I now need to google how this compares with other babies.

Hi silly moo - congratulations on getting over the 24 week mark. Sorry to sound thick, but what do the letters stand for next to your measurements?

Sexy. I normally get them. My waxing girl is an angel and it doesn't hurt at all. Something to do with special wax. Anyway due to hormones let's just say its got a bit wild down there. Think scary movie. So I went for it. Ouch. Not recommended lol

I was wondering if waxing hurts more in pregnancy - need to get my legs etc done (Moon doesn't mind my legs being hairy as I'm fair and the hair is really soft anyway), as I know it does if AF is due. Do you think the pregnancy hormones made it hurt more?

definately more painful must be hormones - i remember i went for my brazilian 3 days before my period was due and it was excruciating - now it wasnt that bad but my skin has reacted differently and im a bit bruised feeling lol but so worth it cos i was a beast lol - my legs have been quite a bit neglected of late due to my exzema playing up - these hormones have a lot to answer for!!1

Im very fair too so dont normally bother shaving my legs all that often, although I was mortified after my CVS last year to discover the pregnancy had made me sprout dark hairs on the lower half of my belly :eek:


Today should have been my baby's due date, been in a bit of a funk all day so tonight Ive changed my hair back from dark ginger to blond, cheered me up a little and if i actually ever get my boys to bed I will go full on pamper and paint my toe nails too !

so weird -was just looking at winchester online as a potential weekend away destination!

Would you recommend it?

Not sure you could fill a whole weekend unless your very into museums and history. That said behind the cathedral a short walk out of town you can go by the water meadows. So if the weather is nice you can have some nice walks. Very much depends on what you want to do really!
