    Another tentative joiner, due 28th of June, baby no 3.
    Still don't really believe it. Tummy feels very weird, most of the day. Like it's stretching, or achy, can't remember if it felt like this so early before.

    I've pretty much constant low level nausea and an intermittent headache, much the same as I was on my first. I described the 1st trimester as a 12 week hangover!

    Tentative joiner too - due 21st June so 6w3d now but had a miscarriage before so very anxious at the moment... feeling really nauseous pretty much all day and waking up in the middle of the night with nerves! Fingers crossed I can relax over the next few weeks 😊
    Congrats to you all

    I know what you mean Ann, I had a miscarriage before I had my daughter and it makes you more keenly aware of the fragility of the process. Best of luck with it all x

    I'm 9 and a half weeks - had a scan last Saturday (she thought it was twins at first - my husband nearly passed out as we already have two!) Thankfully all looks good. I'm already showing - cant believe how big I am already.... also felt flutters last night, which hubby also felt this morning - most amazing feeling ever....

    Hope everyone is doing well...

    Hi all,

    I hope everyone is keeping well.

    Had first appointment yesterday, all went well and baby measuring as he/she should, due date unchanged so thats good! Dad couldnt come but allowed for 20 week scan so at least thats something. Hopefully things relax more by the time we are all due!

    Yep, I'm really hoping things will have settled by the time these babas come along....

    Rotunda announced today that dads/partners aren’t allowed in for 20 week scan ☹️

    I’m in for mine on 15th February so I really hope things change by then...

    Anyone heard anything about 20 week scan and partners anywhere else or is it just the rotunda that have stopped allowing them in?

    I think most hospitals have stopped allowing partners in for the 20 week scan. What hospital are you with? The coombe has stopped them, I know that.

    Thanks Andreac. We're in UHG. Had seen a few hospitals had changed it again earlier in the month but heard nothing about Galway and can't get them on the phone.
    Hopefully it will have calmed down by June.

    Hi, I am due my first in June (with twins!) and I asked when I was in UHG for my midwife app during the week if my husband can come in for the 20 week scan next week. I was told it's no for now :( but it could change in the meantime and to check before I go in.

    I'm in Galway too and was told a definite no for partner at scan next week.

    We booked a private scan at galway baby scans so we could find out gender together

    With the covid extension, the dads wont be near the hospitals now.

    I need to read the exact rules. Looks like I will be allowed in for the core time of the birth and nothing else? What about the little fella we have already. Need to check up.

    What hospital are you attending? I know all the maternity ones in Dublin are allowing visitors in during the day for a couple of hours.

    Any thoughts or opinions on nappies you intend to use. When we had number 1, we had great thoughts and ideas about cloth nappies; but gave up within 48 hours! We used eco-friendly nappies 80% of the time with him, but they are more expensive [and bio-degrade in 500 years and not 1000 years or something, so not all that much better!!].

    Now we are older and wiser and wider! More organized, with stuff like changing tables, nappy bags, and how we would use things - we really want to actually make a proper go at some kind of more eco-friendly nappy.

    So just doing research on the various options out there now, 5 years later - and how it would really work day to day!

    There is a lot of choice when it comes to cloth nappies to find one that suits you, but we found the llittle lamb starter pack good https://littlelambnappies.com/products/10-nappy-standard-kit

    On the biodegradable ones, I'm open to correction on this, but as I understand it most of our waste goes to the incinerator, and so biodegradable doesn't really make any difference.

    My random searching has drawn me to Bambino Mio - Seems to have won awards for reusable nappies from a few sites - https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Bambino+Mio/page/143091E5-BF36-4FC8-BBF9-81B73C7782EB?ref_=ast_bln

    So many many options :)

    How’s everyone doing?? Any June babies yet?

    I’ve just under two weeks to go, talk of induction at 40 weeks due to baby’s size but hopefully things will start naturally before that!

    Hope everyone is keeping well 😊
