Hey guys sorry I haven't spoken for a while - how is everyone? All good over here, just getting a bit anxious for my scan on Friday.
All will be fine, think positive. Easy for me to say as I didn't sleep the night before mine. Still feeling drained but the heat and having 4 others to deal with, 1 of them toddler and 1 a pre schooler, isn't helping.
@Rainbows&BabyDust aah, congratulations for the boy 😊
I am guessing girl for me, but my OH is betting on a boy. We will know in our 20th week scan, as OH did not want to know early in the 16th one..So we wait for 5-6 weeks.
@Coconutfoxx Friday will be here quickly and you'll get all the excitement and relief soon!
I think girl for my guess and anyone who has guessed from the scan pic has said girl too, big feminine vibes apparently, it'll be so funny if it's a boy 😂 find out on Aug 29th (confirmed hopefully at 20 weeks, Sept 17th). Only 18 days to go!
My partner thinks I'm showing 🤣 Not going to lie, I think there is a bit more fullness in my lower tummy now but only because I'm really looking for it. Any other first time mums got a wishful thinking bump? I'm 14+5 and online says you show between 12 and 16 weeks so I'm hoping something dramatic happens in the next 9 days!
I didn't show till 30 weeks with my first and even then with a coat on you couldn't tell. But every one since I've shown sooner. As muscles already stretched. Especially these last 3, 3 pregnancies in 4 years has ruined them.
@ChelleH83 bless you! 😅 It did say with subsequent pregnancies there are really no rules on when bumps show. Wow 30 weeks though! My friends are asking for progress pics as I don't get to see them often. So very underwhelming for them so far, and maybe for a long while yet!
You may notice a difference but to someone who doesn't know you, they won't see anything. And especially if you're fit and healthy too you may not show soon.
I’m thinking boy. We both want a boy as I’m 1 of 3 girls, my sister has 2 girls and my sister in law has a girl. So a boy would be nice. I’ll be excited if it’s a girl but not sure DH will be haha!
My scan is looming and having weird dreams about scans and babies 👶🏻
@Sophie2791 see im a FTM.....2nd pregnancy but i lost it at 5 weeks estimate which was probably only 3 weeks..........and im huge compared to u and im only 11+3 ....makes me wonder if we r carrying the opposite gender.....im only like 114 lbs too so i figured id show early though
so I messaged my midwife a few days ago and she never replied back, today I recieved a missed called from her and then a text saying she was just phoning to check in on me and said she will try again tomorrow, problem is I work full time 8 30 till 5 30 and I've messaged her saying that and she still hasn't replied, do you think i should call her, im too worried to as i thought we are only meant to call if we have a problem but she never replies back xx
does anyone else call their midwife for a catch up??
Haha @Butsie185 definitely helping with the wardrobe. Thanks @Catlady220 I think it's so interesting to see how different it is for everyone. I'm quite tall so I think that can mean more space for baby to grow before popping out. I definitely feel it when I lay on my tummy in yoga now so think I'll swap to the side, doesn't feel bad, just pressure.
@Emma63 my midwife is impossible to get into contact with. I can't talk to her even if I call all day. Glad I've organised my doula.
I'm planning a home birth with my partner, sister, doula and midwife. It's going to be a full house. Is anyone else planning the birth yet?
