Baby having a quiet day thankfully. No kidney bongos this morning

24 weeks today. So moving up to the big group! Scary. Good luck everyone and see you when you get there.

See you in two weeks crazy cat lady as that's when I'll be joining you!! Eek!!

Baby moving a lot today, it's gone from one extreme to the other. I think it's as I'm having a lazy morning and am mostly sitting with my feet up. Have an exam shortly, really hope I can concentrate if he starts kicking as I do get very distracted!!! Also not sure I can not go to the loo for two hours!!

Good luck crazy cat lady... see you in 10 weeks!

I have had the worst headache most of the weekend and last night slept really badly. It's frustrating not being able to take anything other than paracetamol, normally I would take migraine inbuprofen and sleep it off but couldn't do it. Last night I was so hot all night, OH moaned he was cold but I made him get the fan and pop it on anyway!

So on top of my SIL being 7 weeks pregnant, I found out on saturday my cousin is also 7 weeks pregnant... I'm so excited for her and can't wait for our babies to grow up together. Long story but our family aren't particularly close-knit and it's only been the last year I've spent more time with my cousin as my aunt spent a lot of time in hospital early last year and we got back in touch through those sad circumstances. This is our chance to reunite our family and ensure our children are close growing up... sorry for long post but I really am excited to bring our family close again! She didn't want children so is in a bit of shock but she is slowly getting more used to the idea.

Hope you all have a lovely monday x

I sat an exam around the same time as you are now, and I just told them up front and asked if it would be OK to use the toilet part way through if needs be. They agreed. As it was, I didn't need to (probably cos I knew I could IYSWIM).


Good luck!

Good luck with the exam crazy-cat-lady!

I'm now almost 15 weeks and due back at work tomorrow after 6 weeks off. Am very nervous and not sure I'll be able to cope with my previous pace of work. Am initially going back on a phased return but I have a feeling my speed of recovery will not be quick enough for my department.

Really looking forward to trying to enjoy the second trimester and starting to feel little one move, to be honest I still don't feel pregnant at the moment!

Good luck in your exam ThinkPink, they should allow/accompany you to the toilet if you do need to go.

Good luck for going back tomorrow south.

I've been enjoying the sunshine today, although I can't imagine how uncomfortable it must be if you're heavily pregnant.

Back from my exam, luckily didn't need the loo, think it would have caused issues if I did as there was only one invigilator. So relieved that's over and done with. Going to have a year off and will do year two September 2017.

Baby did move about during the exam, but I was concentrating so much it wasn't too distracting!!

Did treat myself to some Percy pigs and cake to celebrate it being over!! And did buy a few bits for baby as I parked in matalan and if you buy something you get parking money back, so I got him some vests in white, some blue bibs and some white scratch mittens. May just hide them in his box so oh doesn't notice!!

Glad exam went well, good luck crazycatlady

Scan is a week today

Percy pigs and cake sound good and well deserved thinkpink!

Hope you're first day back is OK south.

I seem to have trouble staying asleep at the moment. Wake up about 3/4 needing a wee then find it hard to get back to sleep. Hoping being back at work this week means I'll be extra tired and will fall back asleep quickly!

ThinkPink

I tend to be waking once a night for the loo, pre pregnancy I rarely had to get up during the night. Since being pregnant though I have found that I go through stages where i wake up and can't back to sleep for few hours, touch wood though I'm sleeping ok at the moment.

I thought that once baby started moving I would feel so much better, but it seems to have the opposite and has made me an anxious mess!! He has been so quiet today I got in and felt sick with worry, so used my Doppler, all seems ok, ate dinner and then he started kicking away. I hadn't really used the doppler much but its been used a few times this week, it's much easier to use now he's bigger!!!
