New pregnancy thread

[babychops]

I have been on a pregnancy forum and asked other mums if they had a similar experience and a lot of them have! Some of them had a 3+ week period! So I think it's normal. I'll just have to put up with it until it stops. If it ever does! X

I've bought a couple of maternity bits. But mostly just bought a size bigger or just things that aren't clingy. z

What size are your bumps ladies and how many weeks are you?? I'm 21weeks and here is my 'bump' - everyone comments on how small it is it makes me a bit paranoid!! My second daughter measured small but was born 7lb but I was much bigger than this!! Xx

 

[Molly B]

Such a cute bump I'm 17 weeks and mine is a bit bigger than that but pre pregnancy I was carrying extra weight around my middle so I don't know what's bump and what's fat

Have you felt your baby move yet? I haven't felt anything yet I'm waiting patiently xxx

Thank you!! It's nice to have a positive comment about it!! I have felt her move for s few weeks and my husband felt her for the first time two nights ago!! I'm on third baby so I felt it quite early!! Hopefully it won't be long and you'll be feeling your little man or lady!! Is this your first baby?? Xx

I've bought maternity leggings, jeans and vest tops. And a dress for a Christmas do. Everything else I'm just stretching xx

 

[Molly B]

Yes it's my first I read it can take 20 weeks to feel the first.

Aw that's lovely your hubby can feel too. It's a magical experience.xxx

I think your lucky !!! I wasn't overly big through my second pregnancy , ( ok huge at end ) but if the midwife says everything is ok your feeling movements , also don't want to sound rude or harsh you might just ballon soon [emoji15] so make the most of being able to touch your toes and bend down , don't worry though about size I only went up to a size 12 and you will be walking out the maternity unit looking like a supermodel Xxx

That must have been awful for you!! [emoji25] I think it must be only human nature to be anxious no matter what anyone says - do your best to stay positive - sending you hugs and congratulations!!!!! Xx

Baby may be lying 'back to back' as a friend of mine had both her boys lying that way and hardly showed at all. Both boys healthy weight born [emoji2]

Mine was 6 days before I went to doctors as it was really thick and heavy ,.. to much info ... He put me on blood clotting tablets so stopped about 4 days after taking them ... I was going through pads every hour and had clots Google told me the worse about infections Or Bits Of placenta Left inside Which Is why I went doctors
Hope yours slows down soon ! X

Do you remember what the tablets were called? I am taking Tranexamic acid now x

Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well. Me and baby are settled back at home now, loving being a mum again!

Quick question for those of you who didnt breastfeed, how long did your milk take to dry up? My little girl is 16 days old now and my milk is still coming in quite a lot. I have left them alone, not emptied them at all and have been wearing a seamless sports bra day and night!

Thanks luckily I have a nice specialist at the hospital so they are going to do me more scans than usual and book me in earlier as my baby miscarried last time as it had something wrong xx

Oh my god I know how you feel mine took a few weeks and I was having to use breast pads x4 covered up in tissue paper and no lie sandwich bags !!! I was told by midwife it can take up to six weeks but didn't help me back then , especially as people said you could get tablets to " dry up " but couldn't get any .
When ever anyone talks about breastfeeding my family laugh and just say " sandwich bags " I was like a bloody cow honestly [emoji480][emoji480][emoji480]

 

[pinkcouture]

So I might have weeks left of leaky ****s [emoji30] it is driving me crazy, I really thought as I didn't breastfeed at all that it would dry up quite quickly.

You might you might not [emoji37][emoji37] Xx
