Just checking in! Hope everyone is well. I’m just over 17 weeks now and have an actual bump!

I’ve got most of my maternity stuff from Asda so far, casual stuff like leggings and tops that I wouldn’t really try on anyway.

Same here, I’m just behind you at 16 plus 5. Belly is growing now too

Also - ladies...

I’m just going to come out and say it...

My farts really stink at the moment. I mean really stink. My poo habits have been the same (I’m regular once a day) but boy my farts really do pack a punch at the moment. I don’t feel like my diet has changed all that much either, I’m eating plenty of fruit and veg plus fibre, protein and dairy products. My typical diet has not changed at all.

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.

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
