I have been waiting for this thread to appear!

I am due with my first baby on Sept 5th.

Would love to chat to / meet other expectant mums.

Hello everyone I'm due a set of twins 24th September.

This is my second pregnancy I have a little girl who will be 2 in April. X

[sdow687]

Twins... wow!

How are you feeling?

Whereabouts in the area do you live?

Sx

[XxNikkixX]

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

[sdow687]

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.

[XxNikkixX]

The thing is it goes so fast before you know it baby will be here

I'm not looking forward to carrying through the summer though gonna be very uncomfortable:(

Will you find out the sex or are you wanting a surprise xx

Hello ladies

I'm in the club as well, due September with baby number three. This pregnancy has been so much harder than the others so far....

How is everyone feeling?

X

[sdow687]

Harder because of having the other two? Or worse symptoms? What age are your other two?

Sx

[HC75]

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!

X

[XxNikkixX]

This one has knocked me for 6 I'm a mess lol I'm exhausted all the time groggy with the other half and I got extremely painful back and chest pain hurts when I breath :( September is ages away but right now wish it was tomorrow xx

[sdow687]

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.

Sx

[HC75]

The anxiety is awful, there's always something to stress about isn't there. You'll be 20 weeks before you know it though. Enjoy each little milestone. I know it's all easier said than down though! I'm the worst worrier X

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

[sdow687]

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

[HC75]

I'm at Kings too, such an amazing hospital. At least one less thing to worry about 😊

X

[Zenoria]

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?

[sdow687]

How is everyone feeling? x

[sdow687]

Just bumping this post up the listings...

[flower_annie]

Hi everyone, I'm due 2nd of October with my 1st baby. Just really happy to be in the 2nd trimester :)

How's everyone feeling?

[sdow687]

Congrats!

That's very close to my birthday on 5th Oct.

I am halfway today - 20 weeks to go,also with my first.

How was the first 12 weeks for you?

Sx

[Macsen]

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?

[flower_annie]

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!

[sdow687]

For any first timers - we have a group on Facebook - South East London first time mums. Look it up.

Deffo do have more energy now. For first 12 weeks I was asleep by 9pm every night.

Skin does clear up - promise.

Latest fun symptom is puffy ankles!
