Do you think is it carpel tunnel? It's common in pregnancy. I had it quite bad and couldn't even button my shirt for work in the morning! Would wake up with numb hands and it would maybe be lunch time before I would get all feeling back,it went away after I had him xx
I dunno why I thought I’d be ok, and then every day I thought "no point in getting it now, it’ll take a few days to get it and then it’s only 8 days left" etc. Idiot
My cousin took those ready made up bottles that are disposable. Not the best if you are trying to concious of waste but very easy all round
I would imagine that if they don’t see anything, they’ll do a rescan and let you go back a week or so later?
I'll have to put a lock on my bedroom door‘you have betrayed me, hoomin’
Thank you!
My boss wasn't sure, but to be fair I would quite like to go out for a little break away from being at home haha!!Ahh that's exciting to hear! My mum was early with my brothers and sisters so I'll see what happens! XMy first was 3 days early if it helps!
At the 12 weeks scan? Yep we had it, then had a NIPT as we had a high risk of downs x
I’m glad your dads reaction surprised you. I know my dad will be happy but my mother is difficult to say the least.: I like the ideas you suggested but tbh they’d not be good enough for her. She’d find a problem whether we did it in person or like that. She’s a very narcissistic person but that’s for another thread. I’m actually so scared to tell her it gives me anxiety even just thinking about it. my mil on the other hand lives at the top of Scotland and we’re in the Midlands. She lives alone so uses us as her “bubble” when restrictions allow. She’ll be happy.. but she can be suffocating at times. For example, we’re in the process of purchasing our first home.. she texts and calls my partner daily for an update on the process.Ahh I felt like a 15 year old telling my dad on the weekend! I also wasn’t expecting a wonderful reaction but he actually surprised me. Perhaps you could think of a way to tell your Mum at a distance so that if she doesn’t initially react that well then at least you don’t need to be faced with it - maybe send her a scan pic or a photo of a babygrow with a message and leave her to come up with a response. I know personally I’d find it easier to roll my eyes and move on from a crap text than a crap in-person reaction. With MIL maybe you can play on covid for a bit and tell her that although you can’t wait for a visityou’re being extra careful at the minute etc. Maybe make a plan to go shopping in the summer or something to hold her off a bit. It’s quite overwhelming when you announce to people, mainly in a nice way. It reminds me of getting engaged though and all anybody talks to you about for seemingly months is wedding plans as if you’ve ceased to exist outside of this new future role. Try and enjoy the moments of telling people who will be supporters and not stress you out and it’ll hopefully balance out the annoyance you might find with others.
which is why I want to hold back a while as I’m not sure I’m ready to deal with that just yet 
we’re hoping to tell her in person which gives us a bit of time as she often comes down to stay regularly (well she did before COVID). Super excited to tell my own gran though, she asks me everytime she calls if we’re still trying.. but her and my mother don’t get along and she’d be like a proud Great granny telling everyone but I know it would cause problems within the family if she knows before my mother. Which is a shame because I’d love her support at the minute but I know she can’t keep secrets Ah sorry for the rant. My family annoy me 
My boobs are unfortunately not small...I would love a smaller chestI had a home water birth with my son , 9 years ago ! I just wore a bikini top , I don't have large boobs though
Is anyone planning a home birth ? I will be
Literally couldn't wrote this exactly at the end of my pregnancy this time!Just coming on to vent, I just feel like baby isn't wanting to come at allI've had two attempts at stretch and sweeps but the midwives have said my cervix is only open by 1cm but not thin enough to sweep around the waters. Booked in again for next Tuesday and then will discuss induction if nothing happens. Just feeling so tired, cramping and tightenings but feels like I'm not making any progress
I know I will have my baby when she's ready but I just didn't expect to feel so tired and struggling at this point after a smooth pregnancy x
Good luck! We’ve been so lax with booking ours4D scan tomorrow! Can't wait to see my little lasagne
can’t wait to see her mashed potato to face either
Mine don't do it until 24 weeks minimum as it can be difficult to findThose of you that have had a 16 week appointment in person, did you get to hear baby's heartbeat?
I have my appointment on Tuesday and the midwife is coming to my house. So I'm really hoping she'll bring a Doppler! Some friends of mine have been able to film it which I'd love to do so my boyfriend can hear too
Congratulations. Thrilled for you. Enjoy the newborn bubble xxHello ladies! My little Dot arrived on Monday at 23:09 weighing 8lb 5oz!
The induction was completely fine!! In the end I didn’t need the gel I was already dilated so they just broke my waters and she came 11 hours later after about 3 hours of active labour and 2 pushes
You have to take in the premade ones that come in starter pack things
Maybe our cycle dates!? I think I was dated incorrectly at 12 week scan...my partner and I just refused to let her change it as we can’t remember getting jiggy before the date we made her... sonographer shouldn’t have let us dictate reallyI don’t get how we don’t have the same due dateI am also 24 weeks today I think x
she keeps coming up as 1-2 weeks bigger so honestly god knows when she’ll come!?!
I spent all of yesterday absolutely knackered. I was asleep by 9.30, woke up tossing and turning all night trying to get comfy. Legs, knees, ankles and hips all aching. Fitbit still says i got less than 7 hours slsep. I woke up at 7!! 20+5 todayAww I know what you mean! I'm now only at the point where physically I cant get comfortable and struggling to sleep, and sickness has been tricky the last few days! Thank you I'm sure I'll report back how it goes
Are you from Brizzle?Yes!! Shame the maternity bit hasn’t been done up like the Brunel building
