Thread: Pregnant mummies... Let's get chattin'!

We need a pregnancy chat thread so here it is

Hmmm... I shouldn't have put the 's on mummys, should i?

Anyway, all my tops are riding up and i can feel a distinct bump (under my flab ) it is too soon to dig out maternity clothes!!

@penpen, you are fast approaching 40 weeks! Exciting!

hehe I know how you feel, this time round I wanted to be in maternity clothes before I had even announced it and I had to hold off! I felt HUGE today.

Celebrating 23 weeks tomorrow, then only one week to go before 24 weeks and finally having a "viable" baby. I hate that the law in this country is so arbitrary about when a baby is actually a baby, but it's a such a relief to actually get to that point.

I know what you mean TRF! I have a friend who birthed her baby alive at 23+6 and the baby died when she was six hours old because they refused to do anything to help her

Ive got until Thursday when I'll clock over to 24wks.

I'm getting a little impatient tbh, and all this trying to get into a positive head space about the birth has kinda backfired in that now I CANT WAIT!!! lol. I'm really looking forward to everything and don't want baby to come early but am still very much looking forward to May. Got my scan on Monday so that should help.

I've noticed today that I actually look pregnant which is nice - in that it's obviously not all fat! lol

I know what you mean. When i was pg with hunter i read an article in the waiting area at my booking appointment about a woman who found out she was pg late and wanted to terminate just before the cut off and the baby survived and by the time she realised, it was too late! Happy ending though. But it was the first i heard of the 24wk law. And every so often until 24wks i would think "someone could legally terminate still" and it really upset me because i knew just how much of a real baby he was!! And isnt the youngest survivor to date born 21wks?

**mummies! im blaming baby brain

@ILoveMyLamb - can't believe I made it this far!!!! Feeling very ready now - it's 5am and I'd rather be awake feeding a baby then just being awake and having major heartburn!!! It's my birthday today - so come on baby - come out and play!!!!!!

On the downside though Arthur is a bit poorly with a temp - needed cuddles all day yesterday and was quite sad so fingers crossed he starts feeling a bit better today....

Exciting penpen! I can't remember if you've said elsewhere but do you have a name ready?

That's two of us with scans Monday, also exciting.

No name yet - a few ideas but we are really unsure!!! It's so hard....

I'm 27 weeks and one of my lovely friends who I haven't seen for a while told me I didn't look big at all - which is nice as I've been feeling it recently.

I have a names list now as well...it's about 10 long on either side, and I keep adding more, so I'll be shit out of luck to choose one by the time the baby is here. I'm so indecisive! It doesn't help that my DH and I have REALLY differing name preferences (he's currently tiling the kitchen floor though so I'll cut him some slack!)
