Awwww very pleased you and baby boy are all well.Well my absolute freak out yesterday and this morning seems to have been for nothing. Private scan place got me in today so saw baby boy, he was just relaxing with his arms behind his head without a care in the worldsurrounded by a normal amount of amniotic fluid and his tummy and bladder were full, yay! And magically my dicharge has now gone straight back to being white and thicker rather than like water so it must’ve just been one of those things. Never expected pregnancy to be as difficult as it has been, but he’s worth everything.
For the people in first trimester worrying about symptoms coming and going, please don’t worry. I know it’s hard not to when symptoms are all you have to go off of but it’s so normal. I actually had to take myself off of this thread and avoid anything pregnancy related from 9 weeks because I got myself into such a panic about symptoms coming and going but it’s so normal - and the sickness really does come back, even if it goes away for a few days!!!
Sorry, I’ve accidentally written an essay but sending soooo much love to you all, this really is the nicest, most supportive pregnancy forum on the internet
we had a scare with baby girl the other day but turns out she's just pure drama and theatrics already. I'm half way through in a few days and already feel like I'm gonna miss pregnancy as hard as its been this time around.
I was there two hours in the end
serves me right for telling work I should be there and back within an hour 
We had a Horrible Name List because I didn’t want some of my family members trashing the names we actually liked, here you go! My mum and I had great fun coming up with them, and Jacob Rees-Mogg’s sons’ names also provide excellent inspiration.Can you throw me some hideous name inspo? I need all the ammunition I can get to make her shut up
then I’d take a picture, send it to the person then pop the outfit on vinted
I'm convinced alcohol was the reason we conceived haha. We'd been trying for nearly two years and I'd basically stopped drinking during the two week wait every single month just in case. I decided in December not to worry and not to focus on trying that month so I could enjoy Christmas and New Year without stopping drinking. And that ended up being the month we conceived. Even the night before we found out in mid Jan I'd had a couple of rums. And as far as I'm aware it hasn't affected baby whatsoever.Hi, did any of you conceive whilst you were drunk? Does it affect the baby in any way?
I’m also still waiting for that glow everyone says i’ll get from the second trimester…. 
I joined nub theory groups on Facebook with my first baby and someone messaged me to say they would do it for free for me so I done it and got 99.9% boy. They even highlighted out that the penis had formedI have anterior placenta too! They told me about 20 weeks

Finally had my first scan at the hospital. It was a lot more brutal than the private scan I booked lol but I'm glad I know what to expect now. Has anyone posted in any of the nub theory groups? (/were they right?). I'm so tempted - I managed to correctly guess my nephew but I just can't tell with our picture! I can't even see a damn nub haha
my scan was at 13 weeks so that little bit later on and everyone said boy when they seen it. He was definitely a boy, a right flasher even till this day
The baby wants what it wants that what I say 
100% with you on the nicknames/shortened names. This isn’t our choice of name but we regularly get this kind of convoThese are the kind of suggestions we were getting. TBF, she was probably being sweet and trying to think of something we hadn't and there were a few 'normal' suggestions so I shouldn't be mean but it's just, when you're talking George or Charlotte in what world will that become a Braxlyn?!
I'm anti nicknames for our first too
It's all just personal preference just when pregnant it feels worse because you feel so protective of everything and everyone gives unsolicited opinions on everything whereas usually you wouldn't give a shit what anyone else had to say.
I can’t stand the smell of my own sisterRaw chicken or any slow cooked food.
But also, people. Some people it’s like I can smell their hair. It’s vile. It’s not stinky, bad selling people it’s just like a warm hair, body & clothes smell when they get close
Last time it was my own shampoo.
weird being gutted when she comes round but honestly 
no. Like she does wash haha, it’s just whatever combined stuff she uses is a no from me.
*puts down my knitting needles and tells myself I won't bother in future*
Honestly people go on about getting past 12 weeks and the anxiety is over but it’s really not! That time between the 12 week scan and your 20 week scan is so anxiety inducing because you feel so much better and you’re thinking ‘is there anything even in there?!’ The sad reality about pregnancy is, the anxiety never goes away really 🥲 you just find ways to ease it. If you can afford it maybe a private scan but I remember you saying your partner saying to wait? Try and talk him round
I found that during the 2nd trimester it helped having a private scan to break the wait down. It is such a long wait between 12 weeks and 20 weeks
