♡ January Snowdrops 2019 ♡

Congrats on the boys, Giggle and Lexi!

I've had an anterior placenta for all three viable pregnancies - this time, I felt flutters a few weeks ago, but then nothing more recently which had me worried (especially as we were at our cottage for the past two weeks without the doppler, so I couldn't check things) but everything seems okay. I also don't feel very pregnant and my bump is definitely more beer belly/food baby than actual baby belly. I just look way thicker than normal, and it's not a good look for me, haha! We finally told our kids and both sets of parents. A few friends know, but I'm waiting until our anatomy scan (2 weeks today) to officially announce it. Can't come soon enough!

Ha! I just noticed that my ticker was off by 5 years on how long we had been married. Too funny!

Thank you, Cuddle, I hope she can put my mind at ease but nothing will completely do it until I have my anatomy scan, I'm sure.

I know how you feel, I am always anxious after huge losses in life, but we both gotta be strong. I hope your scan is soon, I know I'm trying to distract myself because mine isn't anywhere close to being near yet.

 

[cuddlebugluv]

Wriggley and Mwel, I hope you guys can find your happiness soon. Anxiety is a real beast, I know.

Cuddlebug, believe me, I wanted to whack him, but he never really gets it.

At least I know when I do get compliments from him that they are totally sincere!

Tomorrow is 14 weeks for me, I don't know that I look any different than last week.

oh the mischievousness in me rears it's head. my own hubby likes to be a pill on purpose for the sake of " poking the bear" he used to make whale noises when I was heavy in my last two pregnancies, I got him back good though and he learned that poking the bear was bad. I'm really happy his compliments are really sincere, I guess I'd take the teasing over insincere compliments any day.

According to your ticker you and I are both spot on. Having an anterior really makes any 'movements' limited and that is a big frustrating, I'm glad everything seems ok for you too. I'm sure I'd know if something was up, but feeling 'normal' is just weird to me lol. I think if my anxiety gets to me I can ask my Doc to come in sooner for peace of mind. Being at a cottage sounds so nice and relaxing! Hoping your reveal goes awesomely

Definitely feeling less pregnant during second trimester, lots of ligament pains and sore boobs though. No real bump, just a little belly pooch.

Congrats, Giggle and Lexi! We find out gender tomorrow and I’m 99% sure it’s a boy, too. Just a feeling and timing of ovulation and BDing. I’ll be really shocked if it’s a girl! But I’ll be thrilled with either.

 

[Kiwiberry]

How exciting Nova!!!

My bump is huge!! I think maybe it's because it's my 3rd. Its definitely a lot bigger for 16 weeks than it was with my 2nd. Must be a big swimming pool for this one.

I have a feeling I'm having another little princess.

 

[gigglebox]

I'm also fairly big for my gestation but this is #3 also. I think I just look fat though, especially at the end of the day omg

Kiwi are you hoping for one or the other?

Symptoms question...anyone ever get what I call "nausea burps"? It's a feeling like you're going to be sick to your stomach and it travels up like you're going to puke, but then somewhere along the way it turns into a sneeze. It is seriously bizarre but I have been having this all first trimester

I really don't think I will get a scan until Sept unless they put me in the high risk category because of my bleed at the beginning but I haven't been told that. It would be nice if she wanted to reassure me but I bet I will just get to listen to the hb next appt. So I'm right there with you. I'll be waiting until Sept.

Haha! My hubby has a bad habit of saying things in a deep fat voice...like if I say I want some ice cream he says "Baby want ice cream"...not cool guy, not cool.

Update us when you know and good luck!

 

[Ersurgeongirl]

Omg this baby... I think he’s got some long toe nails or something.... he stretches and it’s slightly painful, like he’s digging/climbing my uterus with his toes or something.

 

[gigglebox]

Wow i'm amazed you can feel so much movement!

I *think* i felt subtle taps several days ago but nothing since.

 

[mwel8819]

Oh I'm definitely being stretched. I feel little tumbles every now and then but I still wonder if they are still gas. I'm hoping in the next week or two that I will feel full movements. They say you feel them sooner with the second+.

 

[countryblonde]

I wish I was feeling more! Third baby, felt my other 2 super early and this time nothing...my anxiety is through the roof about it. I literally have no pregnancy symptom except the growing belly. My husband keeps telling me theres nothing to worry about. I havent had a Dr appointment since 13 weeks and I wont have one until after my 20 week scan. I'm going mental over here!! I thought 100 percent I would feel some kicks by now.

Congrats for all those who have found out! I'm leaning towards girl at this point. Just seems to be a different pregnancy than with my boys. Havent taken a pic in a few weeks but i will try to remember so I can update

 

[Emsabub]

ER, giggle & mwel its amazing you can all feel something! That must be lovely.

Country maybe this ones just a bit shy, no symptoms isn’t all bad I think ☺️ I’m leaning girl my end too

Girls I’m awful at keeping up with this thread so I think I’ll just look in from the outside. I’m sorry I wasn’t very good at responding to everyone 😔 Hope you all have wonderful healthy pregnancies ❤️

 

[Kiwiberry]

Ladies I'm freaking out. I look really huge for 16w, I asked Google and it's normal for short women with short abdomen to show sooner, but by this much? I haven't had a scan yet because of my insurance and I feel like I'm having twins . I guess it doesn't help that my shirt and bra are too big, it's what I had left from my last pregnancy and I am not as heavy weight wise as I used to be.

For anyone curious I'm 5 ft 2 in tall

Spoiler

 

[Kiwiberry]

countryblonde, I'm leaning towards girl too. Although my lack of symptoms makes me think boy sometimes, even though I know that doesn't really count lol.

Emsabub, it's ok hun .

 

[countryblonde]

Kiwi do you have pics from 16 weeks during your last pregnancies? I would say your a little big but yeah third pregnancy short torso...I think those things would definitely work against you

I do but I have to really dig around for them. I don't think it's twins but it's really freaking me out.

 

[countryblonde]

I wouldnt worry too much...I think id rather feel too big..I just took another bump pic and I have barely any change in the last 4 week's...I'm so bad at worrying
