November mummies to be

Just wondered how everyone is getting on. Im due on 11th November and im 21 weeks today and feel bloody awful, this blooming during pregnancy still hasnt arrived for me.

This pregnancy has been so different from my others, my others were straightforward and easy (apart from two prem babies) but this time round im finding it so hard.

I have swollen hands and feet, i cant cool down, although i expect his is due to the weather and im so tired and out of breath with absolutely no energy, apart from that im fine lol.

Baby is doing as well as can be expected although she is very small for her dates so im having to see the midwife every two weeks and having growth scans every four weeks.

Me and OH have been thinking about names and weve narrowed it down to either Jessica Charlotte or Megan Elizabeth.

My other daughter Olivia ia fasinated by the fact im pregnant and keeps pulling my tops up and looking in my belly button to try and see her baby sister which i find really sweet.

Hope everyone is well.

Take care, Katie and 21 week pink bump xx

Hi

Hey, I'm Charlotte and i'm due on 3rd of November so i'm 23 weeks today. With a blue Bump...
Had lots of problems through pregnancy but things starting to feel better now, this is my first baby, and he is laid in strange positions, had to have my 20 wk scan 4 times before they could see and measure everything!! Waiting now for GTT on22nd July!! not reli looking forward to sitting in hospital for 3 hours but....part of the adventure i suppose!

I am having a boy got told 3 times by 3 different sonographers... calling him Charlie Graham and starting to be able to see him punching and kicking now!!

Hope everyone is well

Take care, Charlotte and Blue Bump 23 Weeks

Hey

I'm due 16th November so 20 weeks, i'm feeling ok now but tired and finding it tough to look after my 15 month old daughter who has turned into the queen of all tantrums! we found out last Friday that we was having a boy which i was quite shocked about as was thinking it was another girl, we ahve all girls in our family, sister, nieces etc so will take a bit of time to get my head around a baby boy, but as long as its healthy!! we ca't think of ANY boys names though!!

Hey

My family is full of girls too so it took me by surprise when i found out my first was a boy and even more of a surprise when my next three were all boys too. What sort of names do you like, me and OH like the more traditional names, we have Joshua David, known as Josh who is 13 going on 18, Jack Benjamin who is 12, Callum Joseph, who also goes by the name of mini man or cazmanian devil as he is so small and a bit of a whirlwind who is 10 , Connor Reece who is also known as chunky monkey as he is nearly 6 and the same size as Callum and then our little girl, who is 3, and who is more of a boy than the other 4 put together is called Olivia Grace, also known as Livvy, Liv and Lou Lou.

It took us ages to finally think of a girls name for Livvy as i didnt believe she was a girl after having the four boys.

Sometimes its nice to have a few names in mind as when Callum was born he was going to be called George but he didnt 'look' like a George so hence the name Callum.

Hope everyone is feeling a bit better now the weather is cooling down.

Hi again katie

I replied to thread you started a few weeks ago about family etc - hope arent too miserable - sorry to hear this pg not going as well as your others!
Im sue 24th Nov - so 19+ 2. Ive got my scan dead on my 20 weeks date - next tues and am very exited as we will be finding out what the sex is!!!

My son (whos nearly 7) asks the odd question about pip (what weve nicknamed bump !!) and remembers exactly when we are finding out the sex (hes desperate for a brother!) but apart from that we are trying not to make too big a deal about it and go on about it all the time as I figure he may get fed up hearing about it and resent baby before its even born lol! so we are keep[ing it low prifile and letting him lead on talking about it etc.

We have tried not to focus on names too much yet as we want to wait til we know the sex to narrow it down!

Im feeling ok at the moment - although this heat isnt helping and I have to walk up a hill and 3 flights of stairs at work!! My sickness has all gone (exceptw hen I dont eat breakfast or leave it too long between meals)
I hope all works out with your growth scans and stuff im sure its nothing to worry abotu - some babies are just ickle - my best freind has a teeny little girl - she 3 now but youd think she was no older than maybe 2 at a push! But shes happy healthy, eats and plays well and so its just one of those things - my sister in law was exactly the same as kid too.

Anyway - nice to hear from you and the other Nov mummies - heres to a happy rest of pregnancy to us all, and I will post next week when I know if I have a blue or pink bump!

Hi

I remember you replying to my other post a few weeks ago and thank you. Obviously my family situation isnt going to change and im use to that but every now and then it gets me down.

I bet your son is excited about becoming a big brother. Our daughter who is 3 knows im having a baby as shes had to come with me to all my scans etc but we havent told the other children yet. I have a 5 year old, well nearly 6, and when i was pregnant with Olivia we told him straight away and as he was only 2 and a half at the time the whole pregnancy dragged for him, he spent everyday asking when she was going to be born, so this time round we thought we would leave it as late as possible before telling the children. It helps that as yet i hardly have a bump so its not obvious im pregnant at the moment.

Hope everything goes well with your scan next week and you will have to let us know whether you are joining the pink or blue club, seems to be a lot of pink bumps at the moment..

Take care.

Hi,
Im due on the 20th of Nov and still waiting on the blooming period although starting to feel that it may of skipped me.
Although i really dont have a noticeable bump i am also struggling with the heat cant seem to cool myself down properly and thinking that sleep is a thing of the past.
I have just been and bought some Asda's pregnancy multi vitamins hoping that they will give me a bit of a boost! lol will try anything.
Have my scan on Monday and still trying to decide whether to find out the sex of the little thing.

My feet have been sooo swollen from 15 weeks - nothing makes them go down.

I still have no energy either, I cant stay awake after 10pm - oh keeps taking the micky

I had a bleed @ 17 weeks but had a scan and everything was fine, I've rented a doppler so keep listening in to check on bubz & everythings fine.
