12 to 24 week pregnancy thread

I liked the bugaboo, but I think we're going for the Silver Cross All Terrain as it turns into a 3 wheeler

They're all pretty similar, I think as long as you choose what's right for you, then you can't really go wrong! My brother's got a Silver Cross and I hate it, it feels like pushing a bus, but they're happy with it and they're the ones who have to use it 90% of the time. They'd probably think that ours is too flighty as it turns on a sixpence!

Amy can't remember if i said before but glad everything is ok :j

I've got my heart set on the babystyle Oyster too! although a purple colour pack as it's my favourite colour lol it's mainly cos we have a little yaris, otherwise i don't know how i'd choose!

well after all your bragging about holidays I've caved and booked a weekend away this weekend only two nights in Dolgellau but i'm really looking forward to it, Wales is my favourite place and i've been desperate for a break all summer

ooh and I felt definite kicks last night :j I did a big sneeze and got three massive thuds in return. so whilst i feel bad for disturbing baby, i'm also resisting the urge to sniff pepper as they've been soft kicks since lol

if anyone wants knitting/crochet patterns ravelry.com has lots and lots of free ones of varying difficulty. I'm going to give a hooded blanket a go once i've remembered to go buy wool, although i've got like a thousand half balls from other projects still! lol

Since i've started feeling kicks rather than movemens i'm feeling much more happy and confident about this pregnancy. I just hope that the anamoly scan in 2 weeks will show that everything is hunky dory and I can really relax into and enjoy this wonderful time

Hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend! I'm jealous of the crafty people too!

I've had a letter saying that the results of my blood test 10 ish days ago shows low risk of Down's but I guess that's not conclusive is it? I'm concerned because I'm 38 (but not worrying too much!)

My jeans were way too tight this weekend, I did the hair bobble trick which helped but will need to buy some more comfortable clothes soon. Looked at mama & papas website and was adding things to basket but when I got to £70 I closed the web page to remove temptation. The money-saving instinct is too ingrained in me now!

I felt some "flutters" while lying in bed, it could be movement!

Threw up on Sat night so that was fun, it used to be because of too many vodkas in a club but that is a distant memory now!

Just got back from my scan everything is fine and I'm on team unknown for now lol, baby didn't want to uncross their legs :rotfl: going to book a 3D scan tomorrow so we can find out

congratulations on the good scan Calien

Birdie85

Great news that your scan went well Calien!

So lovely for the ladies feeling movement and kicks! I'm jealous!

Midwife appointment went well, this midwife was nicer than the one I had my first contact meeting with. Heard baby's heartbeat after a bit of a root around since s/he was hiding, was lovely!

Faerie

Hi ladies, I've been AWOL recently. I'm working alot of nights lately but my morning sickness has come back with a vengeance! I am 17 weeks tomorrow and feel worse than ever.
I'm being treated for a UTI too, I don't have any urinary symptoms but maybe thats why I'm feeling rubbish?

I haven't felt any movement yet but have been listening with my doppler and the baby seems quite active, it's lovely to hear the heartbeat and it's thumps/kicks

I hope everyone is ok. I haven't read the posts I've missed yet.

Forgot to ask when did everyone get their bumps? This is my first and you can't tell I'm pregnant yet, I just look a little bit bloated. Sometimes, my lower abdomen goes hard, with a small bulge but then it disappears as quickly as it came. Is this the baby moving position?

kerri_dfw

Faerie - I got my bump last week, I suddenly popped! I've been told it's the 20w pop I'm normally a small size 8 and have been able to fit into my normal clothes still, although my fave jeans I leave the top button undone.

Here's my little stubborn bump
