12-24 weeks pregnant (part 4)

sweetilemon

Scan went well thanks!! Baby is growing well and all looks healthy. My next scan is January now. I've got plenty of appointment's to keep me busy before then!

Lol shame about the rubbish job laura, what do you work as? Don't think baby likes getting up for work in the mornings, I was sick this morning!

Looking forward to my midwife appointment tomorrow, will hopefully get my MATB1 and apply for my baby box xx

Hi laura, spending more time talking to us sounds like a great plan to me! Hope today is better for you though. How exciting that he felt baby kick too! My OH still hasn't and has shown very little interest in trying to feel so I'm still part sulking about that :rotfl:

I'm not having as many pains although they are still there so I feel better. Have my 24 week appt next Tuesday so I'm looking forward to hearing babys heartbeat and asking her about some issues I have going on - terrible constipation and haemorrhoids (sorry for the TMI!) I am really struggling with it at the moment

Glad scan went ok sweeti, and that your midwife appointment went well

I'm working as a secretary not my usual line of work at all but took the temp job when I had my BFP as last job was dealing with challenging behaviour..

Not spoken to OH about things as I know he is feeling the same..he's quite good at stuff like that and has also said he is feeling Laura deficient. Although we have had a lot on over the past few weeks but things should start calming down so now we should have some weekends together without baby talk/shopping (well ok, maybe a bit of shopping)...also cashied in my clubcard vouchers for some cinema tickets so got that to look forward to


Glad you mentioned Constipation as I was really suffering however, call me weird but it seems that now baby is moving more i'm pooing more!! Call me crazy or is that because i'm getting some sort of internal baby massage!! :rotfl:
Also I do go for reflexology which helps a little, also being sat at a desk all day means that I do make note to drink more regularly. The water cooler round the corner helps to

I am still itching like crazy though :mad:

Hi all - sorry, have been travelling alot with work and so busy I've been forgetting to check in. I really need the xmas break to hurry up!

kirsty glad to see the pains have eased off a little for you, must have been scary.

sweeti had my scan also and all growing nicely, hospital did some 3d images for us which I wasn't expecting, I'm now not in denial it's a real little person in there. Did you keep the sex a surprise?X

lauradora

Sorry you're busy NBDS. Don't you over do it!!

sweetilemon

Don't work too hard NBDS :-)

Yeah sex will be a surprise. Getting my hair done today - pregnancy really makes me grey!!

Whats everyones opinion on me using a sunbed??

I want your honest thoughts, its because this eczema is driving me crazy I was thinking that just a few 3 minute sessions might help;

What do you reckon??
I've had a google of it, and i've not spoken to anyone yet just wandered if anyone had come across this. When I googled it one of the first things that came up was something about Katie Price :rotfl:

Sweetie

I'm glad I'm not the only one...I thought it was just because I've not been dying my hair as I usually would! but pepper highlights are definitely on the increase

I honestly don't know lauradora - I probably wouldn't but I'm a bit of a stresshead. My midwife said to avoid high temps is if it will be for 10 mins or more so I wouldn't have thought it would cause an issue - I was in Australia and New Zealand at 15 weeks having some pleasant weather and being in the sun didn't worry me then so I'm not sure why sunbeds would make me think twice. Probably me being a stresshead! xx

Apologies all for gatecrashing your thread but you are all the PERFECT people to help me. What would like for Christmas? I know the obvious pregnancy spa day/pregnancy toiletries. But what would you REALLY want?

For a friend who will be 14 weeks pregnant, and under £40 of possible? Please list anything, as silly as you think of may be. But from your honest opinion what would make you feel as though thought had been put in the gift?
