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!

    • The BBC is one of the finest, if not the finest, broadcasters in the world.  They have been admired by many across the world for their journalism.  There have been numerous arrests since their recent expose on convenience shops that cover ups for criminals - money laundering, contraband,  illegal workers and the like. By no means perfect and some of what they have done in the modern world is questionable - the website often comes across as tabloid or sensationalist, as do some of their documentaries, and at times it is full of low grade game shows, fly on the wall etc which bring the punters and money, including overseas, in but is not quality TV.  In their desperation for 'balance' they've given too much air time and credibility to some more extreme views, which contributed to Brexit and some of the rise in right wing parties.  I wish they'd say 'the convicted criminal' every time they talk about Yaxley Lenon. The programme was clumsy, why it didn't go through proper clearance including the lawyers, I don't know.  But it created zero stir at the time. Zero.  And had no impact on the election, so Trump has no case.  I hope they don't cave in like many of the US corporations and media.  Oh and well done to South Park using the small p*nis defence in ridiculing him. What I expect is as the Beeb is pretty centrist in it;s reporting in riles some of those who thrive on the toxic populism we have seen since Trump mark 1 and Brexit.  How sad.
    • I understand from Pao that they are taking a short break but will be re-opening on Tuesday 25th November and also that there will be a sign in the window tomorrow, by way of confirmation. Meanwhile, greatly  missed!
