12-24 weeks pregnant (part 4)

saver-j

Good luck jojo, hopefully see you over there, though I've another 8 weeks until then.

Funny you should say the time goes so fast, I feel like it's going really slowly. Probably because this is the longest stretch I've had without an appointment and I'm at the feeling slightly in limbo stage as I don't have constant pregnancy symptoms now, am just a bit fat rather than having a bump and not feeling movement yet.

Hi I'm Samtoby and I am expecting my third child (fourth pregnancy) on 22nd November 2017.

I am 32 live in Dorset with my husband son daughter and lots of animals. My son is 13 and my daughter 3 so I have a large age gap between the two!

Still feeling rather sick which is new for me, I haven't had sickness like this before only the tiredness.

Hope everyone has had a nice day ;-)

Welcome samtoby.

I'm due a month before you.

Hope your sickness eases soon, I found mine did after about 14 weeks from being constant to only when I was really hungry. I'm now struggling with the fact I don't really feel pregnant most of the time, just a bit fat. Hoping the movement starts soon so I can know things are ok.

Its mad I feel sick unless I am eating which is an odd concept!

I am 14w 3d so hoping that during this week I will stop feeling sick. I can only drink water after about 3pm any time before it makes me gag.

I am going to Frankie and Bennys in a minute with my husband and oldest child who is nearly 13. My little girl is with her Nan.

Hope your having a good weekend - when is your 20 week scan?

:beer: Hello everyone, I'm joining from the <12 week thread, thirteen weeks now and just had my scan today - what a relief!

After all the scan excitement I've done very little today, felt really tired and sick, napped when my toddler did and been drinking gallons of water. Hoping to feel better tomorrow, as OH and I have a rare day to ourselves.

Hope your sickness doesn't last long samtoby. I think I remember it getting better from 13 weeks and gone by 16 weeks last time.

Hi all

I had a good long weekend thanks samtoby, visited family which was nice but tiring. Hope your sickness is easing. It is such a weird feeling feeling sick unless eating. I was constantly snacking to try to overcome it.

Welcome too timeflies and twentysomethinggirl. Glad your scans went well. My 20 week one is next week. Am getting nervous about it now, though I have no real reason to think it won't be ok.

Happy hump day everyone.

Hello everyone - another one moving over from the less than 12wk thread. I'm 12+6 today, a few days behind Timefies and Twentysomethinggirl.

Parents, siblings, close friends and family know now - it STILL doesn't feel real, almost like I'm fibbing to people :rotfl: Next big hurdle is to tell my boss next week... he's based in the US and so this is the first time I've seen him since a few days after I found out. I've only worked there since April so hopefully he doesn't take it too badly!

Timeflies

Hope that goes well, telling your boss Roz-V! Difficult when you're quite new - are you too new for mat leave? I told mine early on, because I was feeling so sick and incapable during work hours.

Which day is your 20 week scan next week saver-j?

I had my risk letter today for Downs' Edwards Patau, and all low risk, so that's good. I need to ring up and make my own 16w appointment now.

Sorry if TMI, but anyone else suffered from sneezing leaks yet? I've had two :eek: I thought my pelvic floor had held up fine from first pregnancy/birth. Must do those pelvic floor exercises - keep forgetting!

I get Mat Leave but not Mat Pay have looked at it though and it seems that only the first six weeks are different so not as bad as I was thinking. The HR lady knows but not my boss... fingers crossed!

I fell asleep at 7.15 on the sofa last night, woke up for an hour to get myself upstairs but then zonked again, but typically been wide awake since 4.30... can't get back off so I've done a bit of eBay shopping - whoops!

What maternity clothes do you actually need? I'm hoping to get away with "normal" vest tops and cardis (going up sizes as needed) and the floaty summer dresses I already have; but what are your recommendations for key "capsule" pieces?
