12 to 24 week pregnancy thread

I had the most horridly vivid dreams last night. I woke up with adrenaline pumping made OH get up and check downstairs as I swear I'd hear smashing glass. What I had dreamt was that I was having a horrible nightmare, people were after me and wanted to kill me, then I heard a car crash around the corner and people screaming. Note to self whilst pregnant do not watch Breaking Bad before bedtime. I've never had such vivid dreams in my life before I got pregnant!
A lady on freecycle has put an offer for some reusable nappies, so I've asked if I can have them. She's responded to ask if I can collect Saturday evening yay.

We had lots of baby movements last night, and this morning little miss did what felt like a swish of her arm, followed by a punch of the other, then a kick. I could feel movements all over my tummy horizontally, still can't get over how weird it feels.

TL I really hope things get moving for you soon, it's really annoying when they push and then delay it!

Birdie so lovely that you're feeling movement now!

Thanks for the kind words ladies, but it's looking more and more like we'll be pulling out as they've not even bothered to talk to us about it, you think if you were losing your house sale you'd mention something!
Just goes to show how we've been treated this whole time. we've been ready to exchange since end of July, and just told the vendors 'have outstanding enquiries' and nothing further, and then found out on Friday they hadn't even signed our contract :eek:

But it's not a total disaster if we do, in fact there's two houses i'm really interested in that are no chain, we can still get a 95% mortgage possibly with a lower interest rate and it looks like house prices have taken a slight dip - semi detached 3 bed in area i like is now £12kish rather than £130kish

Had a wonderful moment last night - DH put his arm round me in bed and rested his hand on my belly and baby had a right good wiggle and a little kick! shame DH couldn't feel it, but baby was clearly excited to say hello to daddy

Hi all,

been struggling the last few days with headaches which are awful, lots of early nights for me. not too bad today and think I may stay up till 9pm! :j

I got my exemption card through today and they have spelt Joanne wrong! they have spelt it Jolanne!!!!!! will this be a problem at all? First pregnancy so not sure how in detail these cards are looked at. Dentist will be the first time I use it as not on any prescriptions (fingers crossed) at the moment.

Looking forward to 5pm tomorrow, I have another 3 day weekend to look forward to and a family bbq tomorrow as my cousin is off to Portsmouth for Navy training.

TL - sorry to hear about the house problems, but yay for the drop in prices and the better interest rates. These things have a way of working out for the best I find. Double yay for baby kicking Daddy that's awesome

MrsBunny - I think I was having headaches around the same time as you. Best thing I did was drink more water and try to sleep. It does pass eventually Good excuse for not doing the housework anyway.

Becca - I'm going to have to look up these bags, I have no idea what they look like. My sister has a "posh" bag that "all the hip mummies have" apparently, that I can use so no need to purchase one here. But I'm still curious.

Star - good luck with the 20w scan tomorrow. I can't believe how many of us are so close together. Going to be lovely talking to you all all the way through.

AFM - I just made two banana loaves, I'm trying to teach myself to cook before little one comes along as would love her to grow up with two parents that bake & cook fresh meals each day. They're so scrummy that we had two slices each hehehe.

Have been wondering if some of the gurgling I've felt lately is baby rather than just indigestion! It's my bday today so I've sort of decided it is (and no one can say otherwise!)
Been at work today (saving annual leave) but there was cake involved and a laid back sort of day so it was fine! Colleagues bought me a pretty scarf and owl necklace, they are v kind. Mentioned the pregnancy on face book for the first time this weekend so been receiving lots of nice messages (close friends all knew already).
Best wishes to all, good luck for scan tomorrow Star! X
