That's good news Freddie!
I hope everybody is doing well.

Week 15 here already :eek:

People who see me regularly have started to notice I'm getting a little bump now. I'm not feeling like much of an evening person lately... ready for bed very early, but feel good and bright in the mornings as long as I got a decent sleep. I think I've felt a couple of little flutters in the last week, it didn't feel like trapped wind/stretching or any other sensation I recognise.

I'm starting to get flutters, and starting to actually believe they are baby now.

I'm getting a bump, but still not told many people but no been has been brave enough to ask me though if I'm pregnant!!

My pregnancy pillow arrived yesterday, had the best night sleep in weeks last night, let's hope the pillow along with new mattress is just what I needed!!

Flutters started here a few days ago too. Same times each day. I can't wait til they get a bit stronger. Though I'm sure I'll change my mind when I'm getting punched and kicked at all times of the day and night and want a little rest.


I must be getting away with it. Sleeping well again now and no problems. I considered getting a pillow but thought I'd wait til I needed it. Not had to bother so far. Occasionally sleep with a normal one between my knees but that's about it. Hoping it stays that way! Had trouble sleeping after getting back from holiday and while I was ill, but it's passed. Guess it's a hit of miss thing.

Started to get a few bigger bits now and it's all feeling more real. Going to wait a couple more weeks and then decorate the nursery. Everything is picked out. It's waiting a little while for safety before having it done.

I'm thinking the same, it will be really reassuring to feel kicks and movement although I'm sure it will get quite painful at times!

What pregnancy pillow did you gt ThinkPink? I've heard a few people talk about them. I usually sleep on my right side, been trying to go on my left but usually end up switching between the two just now. Wonder if one of these might help.

I was waking up throughout the night with hip pain, plus sometimes I was waking and was laying on my tummy, so bu having the cushion it helps me to keep my position. I got a v shaped one but use one bit along my stomach and the other part between my knees. Also, remember when I my sister was a baby (huge age gap between us) my mum had one for her pregnancy but continued to use it when my sister was baby for feeding etc so I'm sure it will get plenty of use.

Beckyy our tiny being is probably 15 weeks today too. However officially it's 14+6.

Although both of ours measured the same at our twelve week scans (on the same day) because we had that early scan at 10 weeks, that counted as our dating scan, so they don't change the due date.

It'll be interesting to see if yours and ours measure the same again...you've got a scan this week too don't you?

Ours is on Wednesday, so officially 15+2, but the measurement will probably say 15+4 or 15+5


She's got a proper bump today! It's been gradually growing every day, but seems to have grown really rapidly today

Freddy, you're right now they've set your EDD that's it, so best to save brain power trying to remember what they say and what you think, they will work with their dates when i t comes to appointments and decision re when you're overdue etc. They forgot about the 29th Feb when they set my dates so I get the pleasure of a proper extra day being pregnant but they won't change it for anything.

They are often way off on dates though.. my scan date moved my due date by 10 days.. so in effect saying i conceived on CD4.. a whole 2 weeks before we had any bedroom activity.. I think it was created by The Force and is Darth Vaders spawn.. .. but if it means I get to evict it 2 weeks earlier then thats fine by me.. 5 weeks early is acceptable.
