12 to 24 week pregnancy thread

Bangton

Hey everyone. Sorry to hear people are still feeling unwell...I'm struggling with hayfever as I can't really treat it properly I now have a horrid cold and am off work with it. I can't complain though - at least I'm not sick! That was the worst!

I'm 25+1 today so should be moving threads I guess but I'm not ready to hear about labour!

Had my 25 week appointment yesterday (don't know if that's like a 23 week one in your area Toothfairy) but she didn't listen to HB. Had my wee tested, blood pressure and baby was measured in accordance with my personal growth chart. He's a whole 2 cm longer than he should be for my height/weight so she asked how tall my partner was. When I said 6'2 (I'm 5'2) she said I'm carrying a baby whose more in line with his height than my own. So that was interesting...

Majorly nesting at the moment..still! I've finally had my hall and upstairs plastered so it smells all damp and is a beautiful mixture of brown and pink mess. Apparently it has to stay like this for 4 weeks and then I can have a decorator in and some new carpets and doors for our bedrooms. I can't wait to get started on baby's room. I want it nice and bright though and I can't find an awful lot of bright things at the moment. The walls will be white though.

I've got a weekend to myself this weekend as partner is going to Spain with work so I'm going to get to Mothercare and buy all my final items..I'll miss him but I'm looking forward to having the space to browse at my own leisure. He hates shopping - even for baby.

Well I guess I ought to get to the correct thread! Good luck everyone with the rest of your pregnancy. I rather enjoyed being 12-24 weeks - so much going on! Now I'm just ready to meet baby and struggling with patience! See you on the 25+ thread x

Hello all - well I hope you're all having better mornings than I am!
Found bright red blood this morning so went to triage, who found me to be partially dilated with bulging membranes... Now on delivery suite until this evening "just in case", then will be transferred to antenatal for steroids, antibiotics etc. but they've told me that they won't resuscitate the babies if they come now

Really hoping the bleeding is just a one-off and I can hang on much longer (another week and a half minimum)...

Hope all goes ok for you SB and babies stay firmly put!! Xx

SB fingers crossed for you.

I went to put on a pair of trousers that fit me last week. I couldn't do them up- a good 1.5". How can I grow that much in one week?!?

My hayfever isn't the best, but I've been having a teaspoon of local honey in some milk every morning which seems to be helping. It could be the placebo effect, but at long as I'm not a red eyed, snot dripping mess I don't care!
