Wow! I thought you had to stay for 24hrs after c section! Hope you’re getting on okayWe ended up getting discharged from hospital at 9pm last night! So much for a 48 hour staybaby girl is doing great, the 4am pregnancy insomnia has totally helped. I’m already well prepared for her 4:30 bottle
Have they started you off yet?Yeah definitely get it done, my fella bought mine in today in preparation for my induction, I went through it all and I missed out loads, I had to send him back home
thank you! I can definitely notice a bump already and ordered some maternity cycling shorts they are soo comfy! I’ve got a couple of bigger dresses for the evenings too and will try to squeeze into my bikinis from last yearI’m moving house next week and packed my fan in a box last week, cursing myself for it now

It probably depends on how much of a bump you have by 16 weeks, you might be better off just sizing up normal bikinis but I haven’t tried to wear a bikini thus far so not sure how maternity bikinis tend to fit. Have a look at some of the reviews for maternity ones on SHEIN and see what kind of size the people wearing them are
I had hyperemesis in my last pregnancy so I’m definitely not complaining, just never heard of backwards morning sickness 
For the PGP I self referred and finally got seen 4 months afterwards by which point the damage was pretty much done. For the diastasis I was seen by a physio within a week of contacting the GP, awaiting an emergency appointment with the physio team to follow up.
I did toward the end of my first pregnancy, felt like a combination of burning and numbness, I used to get my husband to stand behind and lift bump a little to ease itHas anyone else had a numb bump? 34+2 and the skin at the top of my bump is so numb all day, like pins & needs to touch 🫣 Nothing to worry about according to Google, just the skin stretching but feels sooooo weird
Did you get the NIPT done at Ultrasound Direct?
had my booking at 10 weeks and my 12 week scan at hospital but then my rest will be with community as I’m out of area!
yes mine are always booked at the appointment before x
That was my fear
I've got the spray but it's not helping much. My head feels like it's in a vice!Oh stopMy second labour was definitely quicker! First time I was similar, about 6 hours active labour to delivery. This time I was 34 minutes from active labour to delivery. Thank god I was induced as I wouldn’t have made the hospital this time
don’t say that hahaha hospital is 20 mins drive from me. Will be sprinting out the door at every twinge now
Oh wow, never knew that!
I have the black icandy orange from my first but when he was bigger I got the Joolz aer in taupe. I love it but it does get so dirty, although I blame the grandparents! And it’s toddler age so eating and drinking in it, I think newborn stages are probably fine. The Joolz now comes with a carry cot so I was thinking of buying the cot and using this instead of the icandy this time.
Where did you get the cycling shorts from please?thank you! I can definitely notice a bump already and ordered some maternity cycling shorts they are soo comfy! I’ve got a couple of bigger dresses for the evenings too and will try to squeeze into my bikinis from last year
Thank you for that. I really like that way of thinking. Going to remind myself whenever I feel like this.Mine were very one day on, one day off too. I liked to think the bad days were a growth spurt and the normal days were baby just being cosy and happy. Mine definitely ramped up from 7 weeks onwards. Try not to worry, just remind yourself you’re currently pregnant and there’s nothing wrong
when did you receive your appointment? I’m 13 weeks and still not had mine through yet but I go on holiday in 3 weeks!16 week midwife appointment checked off the listmy blood pressure reading was much better and no sign of protein in urine yet so hoping that means things will be ok (I have high BMI so I’m always a bit wary of appointments and something being off kilter). Heard baby on the Doppler too. I just want someone to scan/doppler me every day
keeping everything crossed for you that everything goes ok
