  • Hope everyone is well.
    Finally found a pair of jeans in Mothercare. In the sale too!
    I might open a maternity wear shop as the high street is rubbish for having anything in store.
    Managed to film little judders of my belly today as baby kicked so I could send to hubby as he’s away.
    Got a bit worried yesterday, didn’t get my morning wiggles as I had been. Turns out baby wanted a lay in and a lazy day.
    Back to somersaults today.

    Lidl have some maternity stuff coming on sale on Thurs - https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/Non-Food-Offers.htm?id=791&week=2&ar=6 I'm going to give the jeans a go, but I'm concerned they will be too skinny.
  • Thanks. I’ll give it a look

  • 24 weeks today.
    Everything aches. My feet feel like I’ve been walking miles. My wrists even hurt.
    My hands are swollen so I havent been able to wear my wedding ring for a few weeks. Only had it two months :)
    Kicks are getting stronger and I managed to video my belly and see some little judders so I could send it to hubby as he’s working away.
    Got four weeks til my first growth scan.
    How is everyone doing?
  • Hi Munchkin, sorry to hear about your swelling and aches, try to put your feet up, get a soak in the bath and maybe when he's back get a massage from your OH?
    25+3 here, I've had a BT of swelling/aches in my feet if I stand too long but nothing major. Still struggling with the sickness but the meds make it manageable. Well done on getting a video! Every time I try little one stops moving! DH has managed to feel some kicks though which is great.

    Hope everyone is ok

    I was quite lucky last time as I didn't swell until after I gave birth. Then I couldn't get my shoes on and my fingers were like sausages!


    I'm at the 'don't feel pregnant stage'. Feel normal and barely feeling movement, I just look a bit fat round the middle.
  • I don't think being on my feet all day at work helps. I read that swimming can help so I've been a few times.
  • Just getting changed after work and I look like I’ve swallowed a beach ball. I swear I wasn’t that round yesterday. Hahahaha

    Morning all

    I would like to join this thread from the less then 12 weeks thread please :)

    I am 13 weeks today, and had our 12 week scan on Tuesday which went well. My first trimester wasn't too bad, I didn't suffer from sickness, but I do hope my energy levels start picking up soon!

    Thank you x
