Looking for a pregnancy buddy!

Unfortunately some people in the medical profession forget to be human and only see their patients as numbers on the list

so sorry to hear you have had a bad experience Daisy xx hope your private scan puts you at ease hun, I'm sure everything is ok. Boo to the lazy sonographer who couldnt be bothered to do her job! x

 

[jennjenn84]

I'm so sorry you had a rubbish scan Daisy. It's out of order you wait ages to get your twenty week scan and hear that everything's ok and now you have to wait another three weeks! So glad you have a scan booked on Monday xx

 

[daisydaisydaisy]

Thanks for all your replies, I felt as though I was being really dramatic. It just feels like we've waited a long time and got fobbed off.

I'm hoping that the private scan makes up for it.

Is anyone up to anything nice this weekend? X

Morning Guys

Had an off plan weekend - so much for staying on track! Scales this morning showing I'm up 3lbs so really want that off this week as it's pure cake!

brekkie: coffee, banana

exercise: 1 hour body pump, might do spin class straight after (yes, I am mental lol)

lunch: jacket pot, cheese (hexa), beans, fruit & yoghurt

dinner: cheesy topped cottage pie (hexa), carrots, cauliflower (2 syns for flour in gravy)

snacks: ham, pickled onions, gherkins, ryvitas (hex b)

finally got nursery plastered so will white wash walls this week and then can paint next week - all we need then is radiator and carpets and I can finally start buying baby stuff - yay!

hope you all had a good weekend?xx

 

[daisydaisydaisy]

Hopefully your 3lb comes off quickly Missy. You're doing great though so don't give yourself too much of a hard time!

Had our private scan today...it was a brilliant experience, made up for Fridays disappointment. And we are having a girl!

I love having a girl for all the clothes! Love pretty dresses, pinks, yellows etc in the spring/summer. I'm sure I'll love having a boy too lol but the clothes don't do it for me as much as girly clothes do! xx

 

[daisydaisydaisy]

Thanks everyone! I was convinced it was a boy so it was a bit of a shock! There's not been any girls in my or DHs family/friends so will be a learning curve.

We went shopping afterwards and bought some bits that weren't white/beige/grey. The strawberry sleepsuits are my favourites. Can't believe the size of them, even newborn sizes look huge, surely babies will never be that big lol!

It's good fun! x I was the same as you with this one, but was expecting a girl! We don't have many boys on my side and having had a girl before I was very shocked to discover that no 2 is in fact a boy!

How exciting A little girly! x

 

[daisydaisydaisy]

You're all so lovely. It's still not sunk in yet!

Can anyone explain what the baby kicking feels like? I have felt bubbly feelings for a while but put it down to wind. Now it feels like I'm being gently flicked...is this the baby or is it just everything stretching?

How's everyone doing?

At first it feels like wind - its hard to tell if its kicking or wind lol! But yep flicks sound pretty spot on! looks like you can feel baby. If you get a chance to lie down quietly and concentrate I bet you'll feel it more x

Awww how exciting you're feeling baby. sorry to ask because I'm sure you've mentioned earlier.. How many weeks are you?

 

[daisydaisydaisy]

Ah that's made me smile! I definitely feel the flicks more when I am relaxed on the sofa or in bed. Baby seems to kick a lot, I wasn't expecting to feel much so soon but apparently my placenta is at the back.

Pregnant, I'm 20+5 today. I always forget how far everyone is along so don't apologise for asking, I might make a little signature with a ticker like Princess has!
