Feeling very big this week at 16 weeks! ?
I'm feeling big this week too and I'm also 16 weeks. Regular trousers starting to become uncomfortable so I've bought a stretchy pair and some maternity jeans from ASOS.
Haven't felt anything at all yet, I'm sure it ill start over the next few weeks

I'm not sure if I have it calculated right at all though!!That's a lovely leave length Sherlof3! I got 5 months paid leave (in Netherlands) approved then I'll work 4 days instead of 5 for the first year. It's a bit daunting and upset me quite a bit last week I guess I knew leave was short here but it seems really early to be sending a baby to day care. But nothing to be done! It's all a bit confusing the first time around. Finding out the gender on Thursday and trying to think of fun ways to share it with the family this weekend! Definitely starting to get bigger now and enjoying it more that the nausea has stopped! Hope everyone is well!
It'll be lovely to have the three days a week with the little one 0 -
How is everybody doing? I have been put on bed rest for eight weeks and I'm slowly but surely going stir crazy! I've problems with my pelvis (and posterior) which are preventing me from walking and breathing properly. I'm feeling much better after resting the past few days though To pass the time I've started knitting a baby blanket, I'm sick of Netflix already...
I have my next scan on the 3rd of April and I can't wait to find out the sex! Is anybody else going to find out / already know? Or are you waiting for a surprise?0 -
How's everyone getting on? I'm 18 weeks today and feeling great, my energy came back a few weeks ago so feeling much more 'normal', definitely showing now and really enjoying it!
Been a busy few weeks with tests etc got the all clear on initial scan for the major syndromes (less than 1 in 5000 chance of anything wrong) still waiting on some blood tests. Anatomy scan in 2 weeks - 40 mins long can't wait for such a long scan!
We also found out it's a boy! I didn't have a strong feeling one way or the other but OH was convinced from beginning it was a boy. We've twin nieces in the family so nice to have a little boy now
We've also started looking into a home birth and now I'm fully excited to have one (it's really encouraged in the Netherlands) our midwife has had two is very supportive. So fingers crossed things work out that way.
Also thinking of starting the shopping, a close friend recommended getting everything done early so you can put your feet up at the end, which I think sounds like a good plan! Plus I love to organise so might as well :P0 -

Eight weeks!!! You poor thing. It'll all be worth it but that sounds tough. Kniting a blanket is such a good idea. Did you know in advance about yout pelvic issues or did you just find out?
I'm still really tired and my bump seems massive. I'm terrified she'll be a big baby.
We're having a little girl at the end of August. 20 week scan in three weeks!!0 -

Hi all
Just joining in now but I'm 19 weeks today, due August 27th. Due to have my big scan at the end of the month but have had a small scan at 14 weeks due to the doctor thinking I might be having twins. Turns out it's just the one bean I'm just showing a lot more because I'm pregnant so soon after my first (there'll be 17 months between my first and this one).
I had bad morning sickness for the first while but it disappeared around the 12 week mark. I took the 16 weeks unpaid leave after my first and was 10 weeks pregnant when I started back to work. I hadn't planned on telling the bosses then but on my first day back, they were talking up their plans for the year ahead, including their plans for me so I kinda felt I had to tell them. There was a lot of "You're f**king joking! No way! Are you serious?!" for about 10 minutes, followed by quite a few "I can't believe you came back pregnant!" as the day went on

Ah that will be a lovely age gap for them. A friend of mine came back to work last year pregnant and we all had a giggle as we thought she was joking for ages lol
I have a GP appointment tomorrow, then clinic appointment Monday with consultant so i will get a little scan as attending high risk clinic and have a scan at each appointment. Then we have our anomaly scan on 25th so looking forward to that one a lot.
Having a lot of trouble with (what i think is) my pelvis or pubic bone and my hips, can barely walk am hoping its temporary. Other than that feeling great
20 weeks tomorrow, finally half way there. Going to start counting down now instead of up
Hope everyone is feeling well0 -

A friend of mine had something called SPD, it's where the hormone that relax your muscles & ligaments causes the ligament holding the pelvic bones together to loosen. She had a lot of pain throughout the pregnancy, had to wear a pelvic support belt and was to told to avoid standing or sitting for too long, climb steps one at a time, avoid pushing or carrying anything (even pushing the shopping trolley hurt her!) and basically take it handy for the pregnancy! She was fairly cheesed off by the time baby appeared

Sounds pretty similar to what I am feeling at the moment, will be interesting to see what GP says now tomorrow. It takes me 1hr 15 mins to drive to work, sit at desk for 8 hours then drive 1hr 15 minutes home..... will be fun trying to avoid sitting lol0 -

21 weeks this week and I'm still on bed rest but feeling much better! Had our anomaly scan yesterday and found out we're having a little boy
Everything was well and he measured at where he should be and had a strong heart beat. He was super active and I couldn't stop crying throughout. I found it a lot more emotional than the first scan. Feeling him move inside of me a lot since week 19 and it still excites me Glad to hear others are well in general. My sympathies to those with pains, I know the feeling! 0 -

How is everyone doing? Less than three months left to go, exciting times
Going great. Just over a kidney infection but otherwise feeling fine.
Anyone got any nice breaks in Ireland or elsewhere planned for the summer?0 -
