hi amanda

i live in belgium at the moment cos my OH is Belgian lol. we moved in together here but found out 7 and half weeks later that i was 6 weeks pregnant! so wasn't quite what we had planned lol, hence the move back lol.
are u beginning to feel ur lo one move yet? have u got ur 20week scan date?

xx
23+1

Ok, suppose its better to move now rather then later as it will be easier.

yeah, ive been feeling baby move for a while now.
how about u? when did u feel baby 1st move?

I went for a antenatal appiont this morning, heard babies heart beat it was wonderful. lol
all is going well and wont need to see the consultant until im 32 weeks witch is good.

ive got my 20 week scan in january, ill be 23 weeks then,

how has your pregnancy been going sofar? is every going ok?
xx

aww fantastic, best feeling ever!! got my first flutters around 16weeks and full on kicks came around 18 weeks!

aww hearing the heartbeat is amazing. glad everythings going well.

so far all's been good, got routine appointment next wednesday, the usual, urine, blood pressure checks etc and also collecting all my notes ready for the move to give to my UK gp.

i bet u feel like u've got soo long to wait until ur scan? but i'm sure it'll fly by with xmas in between. will u find out the sex or will u go for the surprise? i'm hoping that they'll wanna do a scan in the uk as all my notes are in dutch and they might wanna do they're own. fingers crossed or else next time i see my little boy will be for real! yikes! lol.

how come u have to see a consultant?

take care

xx

Hi,

My name is Kirsty and Im 25 and this is my first baby I am 9 weeks pregnant so its still all very early.

Although I have already had my dating scan and everything was fine and the baby had a strong heart beat.

Im really excited but also terrified at the same time.
