Amazing! I wish i got another scan so i could see who babe is looking like lol

My bump is supposedly right on target, however people keep thinking I'm farther along than I am. Someone at work asked how much longer I had. I said about 2 months. She goes, geeze, it looks more like 2 weeks! I really don't think I look *that* big!

Sooo tmi post but typically i go number two once every 2-3 days and thats normal for me.. I dont worry about it! But just today i have gone three times.
Ive been having tightenings in my tummy but not painful at all? Is this braxton hicks? I dont know lol
Then we just came in from a walk, i went wee and when i wiped had a pretty decent chunk of plug on there but it wasnt bloody.

Are any of these things i should be worried about or just ignore them? Things always happen to me right after leaving the midwives lol

I always have BH when I go out walking. Feels a bit strange (trying to walk while everything is so tight), but not painful. A big drink of water and getting off my feet for a few minutes and they always settle. Hope you're feeling more comfortable

Love all the baby updates!

Great appt for me Baby was head down but posterior, my 2nd and 3rd (EMCS baby) babies were never head down only breech and transverse so I am taking this as a positive step for my VBAC. We got the best 4d picture I've ever gotten with any of my babies and will try to upload it. Baby already has some hair!!!

Thing I am happiest about is his measurements as he is now measuring 31 + 3 so has caught up and surpassed my count (30 + 4) as he was always measuring a week or two behind. I have upped my eating and been having more fats and carbs so maybe that helped???

Mine gets the hiccups too

This is fantastic news, and the photo is gorgeous!

I'm keeping a very keen lookout for the post this week - I can't wait until our sheets and nursery bits arrive!

So after baby lying in the same position for allll that time. He now seems to have moved. Last night in bed, he did a lovely huge flip. I still think he is head down, but his bum is now over the other side and I'm feeling kicks on my left rather than my right. But with it, has come period like pains and lower back ache. It is a kind of constant ache. I don't think it's a cause for concern and just think it's where he's had a shift around and is now stretching a different area out a bit xx

Great scan pic wow it is so clear and you can see the hair wish I was getting another scan just so I can see her again always seems like such a long time between 20 week scan and then birth to see them again

After my little miss having a complete party rave for the last 24 hours she has today calmed down but to her normal movement and I am not aching quite so much! I am sure she must have been having a growth spurt or something

Supposedly mine is measuring right on track, too! But baby is measuring almost 2 weeks behind, and all anybody talks about is how small my bump is for how far along I am.

We pregnant women can never meet people's expectations, can we?

Hey all. Lovely pic aliop xx

I can't do any walking really now. The pain has got much worse

I have always measured big and yet baby was classed as IUGR after not growing for two weeks and falling below the 10th percentile. Still small now and sitting just under the 20th. I have had - in the same day no less! someone telling me I don't even look pregnant, to another asking when I was due and looking at me like I had two heads when I said 10 weeks. I wanted to slap both of them!

 

[GingerPanda]

It irritates the crap out of me! Why can't people just tell us we're beautiful and leave out all the other stuff? Being pregnant is hard enough without people making snide comments!

 

[DoubleTFun]

I've got 2 breech baby boys. Their heads are pushing into my diaphragm. Not fun! I originally thought they were both transverse because I would feel hiccups in my lady bits and kicks in my ribs. Turns out Baby A's butt is in my cervix and they were punches not kicks. I wish they would flip, but am starting to believe it will be highly unlikely. Although if they do flip I will be jumping for joy!!

 

[apreslaube]

LOL DoubleTfun. I was getting kicked/punched in the cervix last week. Holy cow that hurts! Silly baby doesn't know he's hurting mommy! I always tell him to kick *out* rather than in but he doesn't listen

 

[startd]

Tallybee, that doesn't sound too good. Hope you're managing ok.

DoubleTFun - pretty cute that your two are both 'sitting up' together

 

[Dark_Star]

I had another ultrasound today, the boys are still measuring ahead. They are 1585 and 1565g so about 3.5 lbs each. It's hard to believe I have 7lbs of baby in me already! I'll be visiting the doctor tomorrow to get more detail on the scan.

 

[StaceyM]

What do your doctors base their estimate of the baby's weight on? Just the fundus measurement? I've literally never heard anything about weight or percentile; my doctor just tells me that that everything is within range... Also, isn't is usual for babies to be head up at this point? Mine has been head down the entire pregnancy, but my doctor acted as though this was somewhat unusual. He just shrugged and said 'gravity", but he definitely didn't seem to expect that the baby would start and stay head down.

 

[tallybee]

I've had no mention of percentile or weight either. Baby was head down at last appt according to midwife palatine my bump, and also I can sort of tell. She's turned a fair bit but seems settled head town for now. When she was feet down the kicks in the cervix were excruciating!

 

[startd]

Dark Star, that's great!

I just had an OB appointment, and my little one has wriggled his head down into my pelvis and she said he's far enough down that he'll stay there now. So he mostly just kicks and wriggles his backside. Very cool to watch him drinking and practicing breathing movements in there. Big feet and getting chubbier cheeks. I can't wait to meet him

 

[Aliop]

At the bottom of the ultrasound it had an estimate of weight which was 1.63kg, I have no idea how they calculate it.

My first was head down (and trying to get out with prem labour!) from 27 weeks, no. 2 was breech and turned at 35 weeks and no. 3 was breech and an ECV was booked in but ended up staying transverse the whole time so I am glad this one seems to -at this stage anyway- know the right way to be! lol
