That sounds early to be told about breach I didn’t think they turned til much later on?Had my 20 week scan yesterday, everything is all good, baby is still a little boy. Kept dreaming that the 16 week private scan was wrong. But she said baby is breech, I didn’t even know they told you that at 20 weeks
so sorry hope everything goes okay! X
Mine was sideways at my last check up (26 weeks)That sounds early to be told about breach I didn’t think they turned til much later on?
At my 25 week midwife they put the Doppler on and she’s sideways!!
I only ever get kicks low down so goodness know when she’s meant to turn?!
This is an interesting topic just wanted to add I really really wanted a baby so much I was even going to pay private for ivf but when I found out I felt sad it wouldn’t just be me and my partner anymore I know that sounds so ridiculous but it was because it was such a shock as I thought I would be able to control / predict it more with insemination. I think it is normal to have all these type of feelings I connect so much more with her now but I can understand how you feel 100% the movement is strange but now I see it as reassuring. I feel so so lucky right now but I felt really worried anxious etc for months xAhhh I am the same. My baby wasn’t planned, I was really disappointed when I found out I was pregnant, it’s a taboo subject which comes with lots of guilt but it wasn’t in my short term goals.
I would open my inbox to you if I could. I spent most of my first trimester really unhappy. I’ve accepted it now but I can’t say excited is how I’d describe it… I also hate the movement and I’m not connected to my bump at all.
I chose not to terminate as I did want a child down the line and I have such a good support network and my partner was over the moon. I’m a first time mum x
My eldest is 12, and when she calls me mum, I’m still like, ‘who’s she talking to’I still look at my 4 year old confused and that’s hes not real.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart everyone for thinking of me. Was scanned, baby was a bit asleep so didn’t move around much so had to do some star jumps. But newpotato is fine, safe and okay. I’m just grabbing some lunch and off to see black widow.
That’s what I thought, baby is still so small so has plenty of time to turnThat sounds early to be told about breach I didn’t think they turned til much later on?

I’m 6 weeks on Friday and still get moments when I think what if the tests are wrong and I’m not actually pregnantI’m almost 6 weeks pregnant, found out just over a week ago! Did it not feel real to anyone until they had a scan?
Im 16weeks tomorrow and I still don’t believe itI’m 6 weeks on Friday and still get moments when I think what if the tests are wrong and I’m not actually pregnant. I did about 5 tests and all were positive, including a clear blue one which confirmed the weeks, plus I have typical pregnancy symptoms but part of me still can’t believe it! I don’t think it will fully sink in until I have a scan to be honest.
I will probably be disgusted at myself that I had such terrible thoughts and feelings throughout pregnancy because I’m not mean or nasty by nature! I just didn’t feel ready, I’m 35 soon so I think it’s hide time I grew up a little bit and moved onto the next chapter in my life.This is an interesting topic just wanted to add I really really wanted a baby so much I was even going to pay private for ivf but when I found out I felt sad it wouldn’t just be me and my partner anymore I know that sounds so ridiculous but it was because it was such a shock as I thought I would be able to control / predict it more with insemination.

Had my 31 week midwife appointment baby has in fact done what another tattler said they were worried about for their scan which is go on a growth spurt so now on 72nd however she isn’t concerned as she did this before then levelled out x
I actually love the way I look and fhe big kicks and my partners love for me and excitement at baby clothes and little tutu outfits but it is not comfortable physically for me which is hindering the fact I should be enjoying it xDoctor said kicks aren’t expected until 24 weeks and not to worry about a pattern until 28 so I feel a bit better. Baby must be having a sleepy day.
In terms of loving pregnancy…. Few people in real life seem to despite what media would have you think! I feel very lucky I’m 22 weeks and it’s been relatively smooth sailing with regards to symptoms. I felt like I was permanently hungover for weeks 6-14 but second trimester hit and I’ve felt fine since, most days wouldn’t know I was pregnant at all. Bump is starting to grow but mainly just look a bit podgy. People have said oh I’m glowing but I think they’re just being polite, I look fairly normal. I wouldn’t say I love being pregnant though - it just kind of is what it is? Like I don’t dislike it but I’m not sure what people love about it? Maybe that’ll come with a bigger bump and more constant kicks or something but yeah, so far I think it’s oversold a bit really!
Patatas bravas are one of the main reason I go to SpainProbably going to get ousted from this thread but other than fries I don’t really care for McDonald’ssorry all!! (Except when on holiday - patatas bravas in Spain are )
Don’t stress you ALWAYS find a way xMy partners (literally) just lost his job and we’ve got our dating scan on Sunday for our third so yes definitely feel the “what the fuck am I doing” right now.
I had an 8 year old when I had my second and it definitely takes some getting used too again after selfishly starting to get some independence back after your first BUT now his here I wouldn’t change him for the world it’s like your never without them! I think whether they are planned or not you wouldn’t be human if you wasn’t scared or worried about doing it all again like the Labour and the sleepless nights but your baby is a blessing and I promise you will come to think why was I so worried. All the best with everythingThis is a bit off topic but I’m ten weeks pregnant and I’m not sure how I feel about it... it took 2.5 years to get pregnant. Second baby and I feel like I should be excited but I don’t really feel it. I’m more thinking wtf have I done/have I made a mistake. My first child is 9 so it’s getting a bit easier now, he’s more self sufficient, let’s me lie in etc. I’m worried that I might crave my old life back. This baby is definitely wanted and I’m very grateful to be pregnant just wish I knew how to feel.
Did anyone else not feel excited right away. Please no judgement as I’m struggling to comprehend how I feel.
Thanks
Ahh I’m a bit earlier than you (20 weeks) but last week he didn’t move all day and night and I was honestly terrified. But just like a typical baby, while I sit waiting for him to be checked he started moving againDoctor said kicks aren’t expected until 24 weeks and not to worry about a pattern until 28 so I feel a bit better. Baby must be having a sleepy day.

I reckon once you feel them move you will feel more connected, before movement I went on as if it wasn’t real. You will love them unconditionally promise youIt could be me who’s written this, I’m exactly the same! I wasnt disappointed, just super shocked and terrified. Not planned and know I should be grateful, but like you I just didnt see it in my future. I was expecting the menopause and looking for a wreck to do up in Portugal! Trying desperately to bond. But I’m only 17 weeks so barely any bump and obviously no movements, I keep reading about the rush of love and hoping I get that (at some point). My midwife said talking to the baby helps but I just feel stupid
Owe no what industry is he in? If it helps recruitment has really picked up recently so fingers crossed he’ll be ok finding something new but just not what you want right now. Hope your ok and not too stressed xMy partners (literally) just lost his job and we’ve got our dating scan on Sunday for our third so yes definitely feel the “what the fuck am I doing” right now.
Sending a big hug. You got thisMy partners (literally) just lost his job and we’ve got our dating scan on Sunday for our third so yes definitely feel the “what the fuck am I doing” right now.
