Hey girls!
Annettea: my scan will be next week, hope the baby will wave at us! Can't really suggest anything about the graduation, as I don't know you or OH, but I guess I would love to go to it if I were in that situation. Is there any way you can get extra tickets, and then everybody could go?
Elly, can I steal your idea about the envelope? ;-) My OH does not want to know, and I'm not sure, so having an envelope should be a good option - if I finally make up my mind I can always open it and find out.
YH - Good luck with your scan! 0 -

Lilbe work away with the envelope idea, i read it on an american forum awhile back and taught it was a great idea, my OH defo wants to know and im still not sure so i said I'd compromise with the envelope idea and opening it on Christmas morning. Our scan is 12th Nov so we'll have the envelope sealed for 6 weeks before we open it we both agreed that if baby is not in a position for us to find out well then we're not going to, its baby's way of telling us they want it to be a surprise when they arrive
Annettea - like the other girls said it is hard to comment with not knowing you or your situation, but if it was me i would want to go.
Yellow Hen - im the same as you i haven't put on too much weight i weighed myself this morning and i've gained 6lbs, sometimes i feel huge but people keep telling me im so small, im thinking after this weekend i need to go buy some leggings. my jeans that don't close but fit my legs are annoying me, if i use the belly expanders they are a bit lose and they annoy me so i think i'll buy some long tops for under cardigans and jumpers and invest in a nice pair or maternity jeans that will last me a good while along with leggings. Also need to get myself a winter coat.
I cant wait for Xmas only 9 weeks away

Hey girls, I'm half way now, 20 weeks. Next week is the big scan, probably the same that YH is having.
I'm due 13 March, Rotunda. Though I don't trust these dates, don't think the baby sits there inside with a calendar, counting days to the due date! 0 -
hiya everyone my goodness its getting so close now that were nearly at the half way mark
are ye finding maternity clothes expensive? I just go into pennys and buy the bigger size up.. I havent worn jeans in about a month or so ha pennys jeans are so not fitting..
Thanks for ur opinion on the grad unfortunatly cant get more tickets, but sure theres always next year and ill make sure his parents are babysitting or something haha..
How is everyone? Bumps?

@Annette, Depending on where the graduation is, I would imagine, if you turn up, you wont be turned away at the door. I know this is normal in one major university. Annette is your due date, 24th March (hoping it's not Sept or its a very very long pregnancy :eek:)
Girls I was in town this eve and just walked past mothercare and they had a 50% sale on...eh, I only went in for a look and came out with my avent steriliser and starters set of avent bottles
€26 in total and we're trying to spread the pain of the cost so hoping OH wont go nuts when he gets in!)
I have felt more movement from baby today, it's so slight that I have to almost stop and concentrate to make sure Im not imagining it but its defo there. Not strong enough to feel by touching my tummy yet but hopefully soon.:)0 -
hi yellow hen.. Thats fantastic about the sale. I wonder is that every mothercare.. U excited when u got the steriliser and bottles??
Its an it college supposed to be very strict one of the grls said at work anyway
also what do u mean by sept??
im slow haha xx 0 -

Is anyone having weird dreams? My OH died last night and i could not stop crying when i woke up, it was sooo real.. Thank god it was a dream..xx0 -

Hope everyone is feeling good
I think i might have had movement this morning, i have defo been feeling something over the last week or so, but this morning in work i got this weird sensation, it stopped me in my tracks and i got it about 5 times around the same place in the space of a minute or so, wasn't painful or sore but if it was constant it wouldn't be very comfy, about half hour after that i felt the flutter feeling, im wonder was it baby moving about. Im hoping it was
People having been saying they can tell where baby is by shape of my little bump and i've kinda taught i could tell myself and the sensation was in the same side that i think baby might by be........ hmmmm wonder if it was baby.0 -
Hey Elly, congratulations on the movement! Should be amazing feeling! Istill don't know what I feel, will know for sure only when I feel thins thing and see the baby move in the scan
Wicklori, great, you also feel the movement! Aaaa, I want my belly to be visible through my coat, I also want a seat on Luas!
I would be up to meet, we can have a little club of mums, and babies will have friends born in the same month 0 -
hiya everyone,, how is everyone and now miny acrobatics (bumps) ??
this thread is lovely i must say were very supportive of eachother and its lovely so thank you everyone.
I bought nappies today eek my baby now has nappies.
I think movement is different for everyone cos i was expecting this butterfly effect that people are getting but i got a flicking sensation like a knocking ha ha..
Hope u have a great time in england wicklori 0 -

Happy all hallows Eve
Hope you all had a lovely long weekend.
I had a great start to the weekend was off work friday and had my first gp visit, it went great, baby right size from what doc could feel, good strong heartbeat picked up straight away.... so good been able to hear it! The doc was a stand in for my doc as he was away and the stand in was so great to talk to felt like we could ask anything and we were with him for about 10-15 mins. I asked about the flu jab and he recommended it especially that i have a low immune, i also questioned why ppl are against it also. I think im going to get it at my next visit.
He put me on Iron and said to take it every second day, that way it shouldn't constipate me. He also recommended an over the counter cream for my acne which has nearly cleared all but about 3 or 4 spots. Everyone keeps saying im starting to bloom and i am looking great, nice to get compliments
I have defo balloned over the last week, my sis in law bought me the belly band for my bday, it is the best invention ever best BDAY pressie ever aswel, so comfortable, not cheap but defo worth it i got a lovely set of shower cream,moisturiser and stretch mark oil from my MIL its especially for pregnant women and it is lovely, leaves the skin feeling so refreshed! They got the presents in NELO maternity, my SIL said they just wanted to buy the whole store everything was just gorgeous.
Im just past the 19 weeks now and i had lots of movement thursday evening, only a small bit since then.
YH you must be soooo excited for thursday, mine is monday week and i cant wait. Im so much more relaxed and not worrying even a fraction of what i was before and im feeling great.0 -

They sound like lovely bday presents Elly. Nelo is fabulous but can be a bit expensive so I might try pick up one or two things in the Jan sale to get me through the last 2 months. Im still sort of wearing some of my normal clothes to work. My trousers dont even nearly close but a tight top over them keeps them up
22 week scan this evening. am really excited about it but nervous too. Baby hasnt been moving at all lately but it may just have turned in another direction. Anyways, I'll be happy to just see it again and know everythings ok.
I finally found the details of the physio classes in the coombe and called them to book a place but apparently they are completely booked up and Im on a cancellation list. Im a bit peeved that they dont put the booking form into the pack they give you at your first visit. I find sitting onthe couch at night, my back gets v sore. When I get to bed and lie down, I'm fine again but I think the physio classes would have been great.

Sounds pretty normal to me. from about 18 weeks on I had a weird achy stretchy feeling which got crampy but it was just the ligaments stretching and now my belly is huge! No harm calling the hospital if you're worried though.
almost 23 weeks now and getting loadsa punches and kicks :-) had the big scan during the week which was lovely, baby was holding his/her feet in his/her hands :-)0 -
Welcome to the thread Rula. Where did you have your 19 week scan? I guess every hospital is different and I wuold guess that they measured a few things that you didnt see.
Annette, I had very bad period and stabbing pains for about a fortnight a few weeks back. I think it was just stretching...very shortly after that my belly started to expand at a ridiculous rate. There's no hiding it anymore! Try not to worry. When do you have your anomoly scan? Are you doing shared care? If you are, could you go to your gp and just hear the heartbeat on the doppler for peace of mind?
I had the 22week scan yest. Honestly, it couldnt have gone better. We were only waiting 5mins in the coombe and they apologised that we even had to wait that long! The sonographer was lovely and as soon as she touched me, we could hear the heartbeat. It was lovely as I hadnt felt the baby move for the last 2 days and was trying not to be concerned but its hard not to be! Anyway, she checked all the measurements, checked the brain's development, nasal structure ( apparently can indicate down syndrome) and also the ankle bones ( to ensure feet werent turned in). She said she couldnt believe how much the baby was moving around in there but as the placenta is right in front of it, it might explain why I'm not feeling so much of it. My dates are still perfect and the baby was a very average 1lb 1oz. A obstetrician came in to review the sonographer while we were there and she said the brain and bone development was very healthy and the limbs were long indicating a possibly long baby.
We got 7 pics leaving and they were so so clear. so overall, was a lovely experience. Oh, and she made us close our eyes when she was checking their repro anatomy so we still have no idea what it is 0 -
Hey girls!
Had my scan yesterday as well - everything measured normal The baby kept moving and he did a punch while at the scan, so we saw it on the screen and I felt it as well, so now I definetely know that I feel baby's movements and not the gas!
YH, we chose not to know the gender as well, but they did not have to worry for us to see anything on the screen - I just don't understand how they see anything, once they point out that "look here are baby's hands and here are baby's legs" and I start seeing them, they move the thingy on the belly and it all changes and apparently what was hands became a head I would have never guessed what I'm seeing even if it was staring right at me!
Annettea, the best thing is to see the doctor - then you will know for sure if these pains are normal or not.
And welcome Rula 0 -
hi everyone! Im very happy for ye and yer scans...
