  • Hello ladies, I'm just dipping my toe in as am still on the <12 weeks thread but I'm officially 12 weeks today. Had a scan at 11+3 but was too early for all the measurements so have another one next Thursday. Will join properly once that scan has happened but thought I'd pop in and say hello

    Hope your OK everyone. Just had my second '12 week' scan (14+2) so everything is looking good I think. Eeekk. Told more friends now. Still a few to tell xx
  • Congrats on the good scan sweetilemon! We are spinning out the process of telling people, apart from some relatives and friends who live far away that we emailed, we are telling people as we see them. It's nice to share good news and see their faces. Last weekend I saw a friend and she said what's going on there? I looked behind me and couldn't see anything, then I realised she was looking at my bump! Definitely getting obvious now :-)

    I had the 16 weeks midwife appointment today, everything seemed to be OK. Nothing now until whooping cough at 20 weeks and then the next scan at 21.
  • Hope you have a good scan today MrsNubs!

    Ahh Cherry I can't believe you remembered, very sweet of you! Everything was looking good, although I've been moved back to 12+3 with new EDD of 16th April. Baby was in the wrong position at first so I had to go and run up and down the stairs for a bit to get it moving around. We've told everyone now (don't know how you all keep quiet about it!). We had a party at our house last Saturday for DH's 30th and we knew it would look very suspicious if I wasn't drinking so we decided to tell them all.

    Eek, can I join please.
    “12” week scan yesterday and was 13+6, so 14 weeks today with EDD of 12th April.
    Baby was moving so much. We’ve told our mums and nans, that’s it so far as want to tell close friends and family face to face.
    All feels very real now and I don’t know where to start!!

    Hey NBDS! Meant to write back the other day but must have got distracted!! Sorry, congratulations!

    I bought myself a maternity pillow today! Didn't use one in my first pregnancy but felt I needed one this time. Also got touch lights for the bedroom - thought they would have been handy to have last time. My baby carrier arrived during the week, went for ergo baby. Hope you are all well.

    Wow, it's very quiet on this thread. Hope everyone is doing well. I'm 15+3 today and still struggling with nausea. Was sick twice last week, very unpleasant. Really hoping it goes away soon. I've also been referred to a consultant now, have my first appointment next week.

    Hope everyone else is doing well in the 2nd trimester
  • Hey there MrsNubs, sorry to hear you are still nauseous and sick. My SIL had it until 16 weeks, I hope it goes away soon!

    I'm 19 today, and nearly 3 weeks to go til the next scan. I'm looking forward to it, I had a few wobbles where I didn't feel pregnant, but my bump popped out pretty convincingly a couple of weeks ago. Also today I've been feeling like tiny muscle twitches, which I'm.taking to be movements :-)

    I thought the same Mrs Nubs - super quiet!! I kept peeking in to see if there was anything new! I'm 17 + 4 today, been to a couple or antenatal classes and my GTT fasting came back high so tracking sugars. I'm still getting sickness too, seems to be if I get too hungry I'm sick. Can't wait to feel kicks! Heard the heartbeat the other day, so exciting!
