Thanks guys!

I was convinced my placenta would be anterior but at our 20 week scan they said it was posterior and in the 'right' place which is what concerns me a bit. Yesterday she was kicking or rolling without fail every few hours, from 6pm to about 2am it felt like she didn't stop (I had another terrible nights sleep) but again today she's been so quite, I've felt her roll and do the odd kick occasionally but nothing like yesterday. My bump is constantly tight again today as well (happened a lot with first baby). It was like this in the middle of the week too - very little movement on Wednesday/Thursday then she went a bit mental for hours on end on Friday. Sometimes her kicks and movements are so faint as well, like they were 6 or so weeks ago, but yesterday it felt like 'normal' (though a lot!). I think some of the trouble is she seems to kick really low down so if I feel it it's just above my bladder rather than my stomach if that makes sense?

My bump is so tight this evening too :sick:
This sounds exactly like BabyA, would have one day where he didn’t stop and then for a day or two following he’d be quieter, so many trips to triage for this until we realised it was just his pattern and some days he was more active than others. He used to roll and somersault but rarely kick, I’d mostly feel him flipping around and the occasional elbow - now I know he was back to back I’m not sure how I never felt him kick as opposed to roll and flip!

oh how lovely 🥹 congratulations !! I have one of each too and it really is the best !

boy names are SO hard ! We don’t have a boy name at all if this one is a boy . We used the only one we both liked with my son 🤣

Meanwhile I have about 20 girl names I love !! Just gotta hope this little one I’m growing right now is a girl !

23 weeks pregnant, figured we’d order a Domino’s for dinner and enjoy the warmer evening and now I have heartburn 🙃 did anyone have a lingering “icky” feeling? I don’t always get nausea but sometimes I just have a gross feeling/taste… certain smells and coffee still trigger it. Was hoping it would have gone away by now

I’m also 23 weeks pregnant @OOOOR and I have the exact same thing. If I don’t have heartburn / icky feeling it’s full on nausea. I actually had to go to the doctors this week for anti sickness as I’m feeling worse now than in my first trimester! I had no sickness at all in my first pregnancy so this is really new to me 🫠

Thanks. She's been rolling and shuffling about more today, and kicks are faint but there. I will see if tomorrow she goes absolutely mental again and if she doesn't I might just call them and check in.

BabyDrag didn’t have a name for like 4 days. And what we settled on was a very late stage wild card addition to the shortlist! Boy names are hard for sure!

I ate three bites of my dinner this evening and then had to be sick 🫠 8+4 today and so over not enjoying food and all the aversions I’m having … my husband is an absolute saint , doing all the cooking , and I feel so rude when he presents me my tea and it b literally disgusts me 😭

had a bit of a cry as we’re on a family holiday and I feel like my sickness and exhaustion are ruining it for my kids and that I’m missing out on so much 😭 it has been a gorgeous day today and they’ve spent the day on the beach and I just stayed back at our cottage rotting in bed and watching modern family because I’ve felt so rough … it’s just SO hard

I was so relieved when we found out baby 2 is a girl because I literally cannot think of a boy name I like! We have an unusual surname which doesn't go with a lot of names especially male names so it was tricky naming our boy toddler. Girls names though... I could name a school!

Congrats! I’m having my second boy and it took us 36 weeks to decide on a name because the only name we like our first has 😂 Had a full girls name picked out but no 🫠

Hi all, joining for the first time. I’m 14 weeks exactly today! Started getting bad pelvic bone pain this morning? It’s gone now but not sure if should be concerned or anything?

also did a sneak peak blood test from home at 7 weeks which came back boy. So we’ve been planning a world around our new son, calling him by his name etc and then last two scans sonographer has made comments it looks like a girl 😭 so not sure what to think. Does anyone have any experience with these at home blood tests? I didn’t wipe my arm before I attached it so now I’m worried!

It’s so tit when the food aversions hit! I’ve basically been living off of bread and butter. I felt so guilty as we had all these hello fresh meals. Husband just had them for lunch and dinner haha. I’m sure your husband understands and more leftovers for the family haha.

The food aversions are DIRE. My baby has so far been made entirely out of full large coca cola and crackers 🙃

The food aversions are making me so depressed at this point . I’m a keen cook and love to eat so not being able to enjoy food has been a real bummer . I never had them this bad with my previous pregnancies (that I can remember) . Praying now I’m 9wks they will start to ease . All I’m eating is cheese and tomato pizzas and plain pasta with cheese . I’ve completely gone off all meat , most fruit and veg 🫠 it’s so hard

Ha I also swapped to full large Coke. I was like it’s medicinal 😂
It should be studied. There’s not a single pregnancy symptom that a cold, crisp full large coke hasn’t made substantially more tolerable 😂

Hi all! Just plonking myself in here (albeit tentatively at the moment) as I found out last Tuesday that I'm pregnant for the first time after my period was a no-show. According to the date of my last period the app I've downloaded has me at 5 weeks and 3 days. I'm desperately trying not to get too excited as I'm so conscious of something bad happening.

Since finding out last week, I've had a fair few symptoms including an evening of nausea, breathlessness when doing the simplest things like just going up the stairs, but the absolute worst part is the insane bloating!

I'm no skinny-mini at size 14/16 but going out and about this weekend I found it so hard to find something semi-flattering and/or comfortable! Really hope the bloating goes down as I'm seeing friends and family next week and dreading deciding what clothes to take! My friends are all going to guess right away anyway as I love my wine so as soon as they see me glugging water instead of wine it'll give the game away 🤣

Welcome to the club and congratulations !!!

I’m the same as you size wise and also finding flattering clothes atm hard . Basically living in leggings and my husband’s oversized t shirts . I am soooo bloated and gassy - but this is my third so I think it could be a bump even though I’m only just 9 weeks 🫠 it’s hard huh !!!

Is this your first ?
