I know I super scared but excited at the same time.


Been feeling pretty shit if I'm honest and I have a huge belly already :(


I actually live in Peckham but I spend a lot of time with my mum who is on under hill road so I'm always in the area xx


How are you finding things? X

It is bizarre enough getting your head 'round having one in there... let alone twins!


Don't worry - I'm stretching the 'area' thing too as I'm nearer to Honor Oak, but spend lots of time in East Dulwich (and Peckham!).


I am still struggling to believe it's actually happening. Can only really see forward to the week ahead and the day my week changes, can't imagine giving birth, buying anything for the baby or that I will actually have a baby come September!!!


Will be 16 weeks tomorrow.

Although I had some nausea in my other pregnancies it was nothing compared to how rotten I've felt this time. I've been absolutely exhausted as well, no energy for anything. I'm hoping now I'm in the second trimester that I'll be re-energised again. Mine are 2.5 and 5.


Are you glowing now you are 16 weeks? I'm 14 weeks this week - I live in hope!

Hmmmmm... I'm not sure I'd say glowing exactly, but definitely look a bit more human! I couldn't believe how cr*p I looked before - really spotty, skin lost all its lustre. So yes, feeling back to myself and I hope you start to feel a bit better too.


My main issue is trying to control my anxiety. Just keep getting an annoying voice in my head somewhere saying "something is bound to go wrong" and it's horrible... means I'm counting each week, but struggle to see far beyond that.

Hello, ladies!


I'm so excited to have found this group :) I'm a first timer due 27th August living near Goose Green.


Feeling really good in general but like sdow687 I do worry a lot. We didn't have a good experience with our 12 week scan and ended up in the hellish two week wait for Harmony test results to come through. Everything's fine but I know I'm going to start freaking out soon, with the next scan only a few weeks away...


Is everyone here at King's for the birth?


F x

Hello :)


Yep, at King's too.


It's funny isn't it - you feel reassured for about a week after the scans, then go back to fretting. Sorry you had loads of stress and a long wait after yours.


I'm feeling a bit more human now. Looked like cr*p in the first 12 weeks!


Nice Easter weekend plans?


Sx

Ahh, thank you, S! Actually had a midwife appointment today and got to hear baby's heartbeat so I'm feeling loads calmer :)


King's is great but we kind of felt like we were just research samples on a conveyor belt at our scan. Hope you ladies had a better experience.


Got lovely Easter plans that include first ever baby shopping! Well, window shopping but still :) How about you?

Hi guys,

I'm just joining this group, due mid October with my second child. Live in Peckham, so not quite an ED local...

I've been feeling horrid since before my positive test, had nausea for 16 weeks last time, but it seems to be giving way a little now. Still pretty tired though... Anyone else who needs naps most days?

Actually not too bad! Been nauseous for a couple of days or so only, though definitely lost my appetite for a while. On the other hand spots are killing me :D feel like a teenager.


They say - week 16 shiny hair and glowing skin .. Hmmmm :) still waiting!

    • Hello, I’m currently looking to buy Jellycat soft toys and LEGO sets for my children. If you have any available for sale, please feel free to message me. Thank you!
    • Useful link, thanks. I see that neither of the Dulwich Hill councillors are standing again but one of the new Labour candidates for DH recently left the Lib Dems… The Greens are led by someone who left the Lib Dems and full of people who left Labour. Reform is full of those who left the Tories. And the Tories are full of those who left our planet some time ago. Confused? You will be!
    • I'm sorry to learn that though Liam does seems well qualified. Hopefully with McAsh gone, Southwark Labour will turn to Charlie to fill the gap.
    • As I understand it Charlie Smith did put himself forward for selection in GG but Labour members chose someone else to represent them, Liam McGrath https://southwarklabour.com/our-candidates/   It'll be interesting to see if there are other defections - surely the Greens want a drip, drip, drip of news from now to May suggesting the momentum is with them.
