♡ January Snowdrops 2019 ♡

[MollyMoon]

I was 15lbs over my ideal weight to begin with as well 'Christmas weight'. But I haven't gained much maybe 2-3 lbs

 

[gigglebox]

I was also above my ideal weight by 10-15lbs but i had lost about 25 after the holidays. I am still at a lighter starting weight this time than I have been in my other pregnancies so that's good. But yeah right now i just look fat/superbloated.

Anyway I'd say that looks like a perfect 12 week bump

Mwel i had brown spotting with ds1 a little later in first tri. All was fine!

Has anybody been measuring their belly?

I wish I had thought of it at the beginning, but I didn't until last Saturday.

So even though I feel all bloated and bumpy, the tape measure doesn't lie and tells me I haven't grown at all since then.

You have to measure at the same time of day, and not once on an empty stomach and once after a big meal.

Wow I never even thought to measure my belly . I'll start when I get back to NC.

Ladies... I have the most annoying craving for banana pudding from City Barbeque right now..... not sure if it's National but it's a local place where I live in North Carolina. I asked my ex if he wanted to eat there with us when I get back on Thursday, it's one last hurrah for carbs for me .

This is my 11wks. Tomorrow I'm 12.

Hey ladies! Ive been here following along the entire time, just havent been posting. I felt really nervous and worried for some odd reason this time around- so i kinda shut myself out from most extra baby stuff just in case..protecting myself I guess.... Anyway...I had my 12 week ultrasound today and everything was wonderful and I'm back!

Hope you are all doing well. I think a few of you have appointments this week.

All the bumps are looking great! I will try and remember to take a recent one tomorrow, but i am huge for 12 weeks for me. My uterus is already just below my belly button.

Heres a pic from my scan...I'm feeling baby boy #3 but who knows...any guesses??

 

[gigglebox]

My vote is girl! You can try to post in the gender guessing section too. Congratulations!

I don’t have a guess, but how cute!

Beautiful scan!! I can’t wait to have my blood work on the 16th for all the genetic stuff including gender!! I would love a boy but ultimately whatever is healthy lol my husband wants another girl as if 3 between the two of us isn’t enough lol. Listening to my baby on my Doppler is easy now. I can find it in seconds and seems to be just above my pubic pubic bone. Can’t wait to see him/her again on the 16th

 

[gigglebox]

W8 I asked my dr about the genetic bloodwork and she said they won't do it unless something looks fishy at the 12/13 week ultrasound I am dying to know the sex already! Lol

I used my doppler 2 days ago and also found hb much easier. I am so thankful to have that little device this time! I am trying to use it very sparingly though...i hope i can feel movement early again this pregnancy. With ds1 i felt it exactly at 14 weeks. I think i was closer to 17-18 with ds2 :/

 

[W8tingforbaby]

I can’t wait to feel movement too lol it definitely makes things even more real than they already are and is such a special thing. I don’t remember how far along I was with my daughter when I felt, that was so long ago (she is almost 12)

 

[countryblonde]

With my first I felt movement at 13+5 with my second I felt movement at 10 weeks which I thought was insane. This time around I have been feeling some movement but not like last time- probably because my uterus is huge and baby is so small still..lots of space to move...it sure does make it more real though.

Giggle- they don't do bloodwork with the nt scan? I had to go right from my ultrasound to bloodwork. Its required as part of the scan

 

[FuzzyLlama7]

Had my dating scan today and I’m 6 days ahead so due date now 14th Jan

 

[gigglebox]

Awww looky!!! So cute! I am guessing boy

Country, they do bloodwork too but more as a risk assessment, not to test chromosomes. I'm wondering why...both my SIL and a bestie got the harmony test done without any risk factors so maybe it's just office specific? Idk. But i guess this way i get to get an additional ultrasound/glimpse at baby

With how crappy my last u/s was i still don't feel pregnant. Know the sex always solidifies things so I can't wait!

 

[countryblonde]

Im itching to know gender as well. But we will wait for the 20 week scan. With this being my last baby and already having 2 boys im very curious what # 3 will be

 

[Kiwiberry]

FuzzyLlama7: Lovely scan hun! I'm so jealous. I want a scan so badly

countryblonde: Since it's going to be your last pregnancy, I hope you get your baby girl hun .

gigglebox: You're in the US right hun? I think it is based on the office you're at and their policies. It could have something to do with insurance as well but not really sure.
