2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

Anterior placenta is different than placenta previa. Placenta previa is when your placenta fully or partially covers your cervix.

Anterior placenta just means that your placenta is on the front side of your tummy vs the placenta being located by your back

Your little girl must be a lot stronger than mine! Lucina can't get through my flab yet.


I will say though that multiple times today I have felt some weird feelings that might be her, but I can't tell. Definitely can't feel them from the outside, though.

You have a great looking bump! I am just starting to show through my clothes although some people say i dont even look pregnant.

try laying down flat on your back. That seems to be when I can feel her.

Very cute bump pic!!
I honestly haven't taken bump pics. I really should considering this is my last

Yes, when i thought i felt the baby I was laying in bed

That's when I feel the most too. Or sitting in the chair. I've just now started to feel him while walking around etc.

I haven't taken pictures either. I feel so fat and you can tell in my face too! Ehhh, I might take a belly shot when it gets huge but not right now!!

I am an overweight mommy too (over 200) and felt that this flab is getting in the way of feeling baby move I am not 100% certain if i am feeling baby but i know it comes with being a ftm too...the unknown...they say with 2nd you are more certain with what you are feeling.

They would tell you if your placenta was anterior... and it would be in your anatomy scan results. It's called placenta previa.

Mine wasn't on his tummy, but he was upside down kicking his feet in the air... They do some crazy things in there.

well he didnt mention. Because of insurance I dont get ultrasounds from my obgyn, i get it from the radiology department that is in the same building as my obgyn office. I will ask my obgyn at my next appointment.

And how cute!

I only feel babe when lying down at night between 9-11 but can feel it both internal and sometimes external. Movements def getting stronger. I still cant get dh to catch movement though.. Bby stops whnever he touches me lol

There might be the odd one kick throughout the day but nothing like what i feel at night. I was a tad overweight when i started and i have a posterior placenta

 

[Dark_Star]

I find I feel the babies a lot more when I'm wearing something snug and stretchy, like maternity pants or leggings with the high elastic band. They kick like crazy when I drink ice water.

 

[Aliop]

I was a bigger girl when pregnant with my first three children and I used to lie in bed behind DH with my bump pressing into his back (like cuddling him) and he'd feel lots of movement at night, it was harder to feel if I was just sitting or standing I guess because of the cushioning lol I remember one night with our first he said 'can you please turn around I can't get to sleep with the baby wiggling so much?!' haha!!

This baby is pretty consistent in it's 'awake' times so I feel plenty of movement when he is awake

Went to the OB today and told him about the ultrasound tech. He said that radiology office has had some complaints recently but he was definitely surprised. He did an ultrasound today to try and determine the sex but baby was wriggling too much cutie. He ordered us a new gender determine only ultrasound for this Thursday

Glad you're getting a new scan xxx

I had my 20-week scan on Monday, all measuring as expected and baby boy moving around a lot. Still definitely a boy. We announced on FB last night. Lovely to get so many messages of congratulations, after lots of ´are you mad?´ comments to my face by other mums at toddler groups etc.

That's great xxx lol at the comments

Congratulations everyone! It is so exciting to know if you're having a girl or boy. DH and I are still team . My 20 week ultrasound is Friday. In my province, the ultrasound technicians cannot tell you the gender during your scan. They send the results to your family doctor/obstetrician. Because I already have my next appointment scheduled, I'll have to wait a whole week and a half to get the results!!! Gahh!

DH said he wouldn't mind not knowing. He likes the idea of a surprise and is squarely in the in corner. But I can't do that... I need to know! hahaha

Quick question - how many of you are still waiting to feel your little ones? I just started my 20th week a few days ago, and still haven't felt anything. This is my first baby and I'm so excited to start feeling it! I should be expecting something any day now, right?

Aaah having to wait but knowing the information is there would drive me mad! My oh wasn't wanting to know either but let me have my way and has since really bonded with her so it's worked out good xx

Hey Ladies :wave: Congrats on finding out Genders... Were still Team Yellow

So sorry I've been abit AWOL... Things here have been pretty hectic, its like one thing after another and OMG I'm 20weeks today! How did that happened? lol, i feel like I've just blinked and BAM!!!

Everything so far for me is "Normal".... The past few weeks, baby has been laying really low! it felt like a head or a bum was just wedged down there!, so not a nice feeling, thankfully he/she has moved up/turned and now this past week, i can feel kicks or punches really low down Still can't feel anything from the outside.

I feel like its the calm before the storm lol.... I haven't had an appointment since april, my 21week scan is on tuesday, then wednesday I've got results on my neck lymph-node.... all of june I've got an appointment one after the other :/ for another GTT test.... C-section date plan, Midwife, Consultant.. I need to make an appointment for my Neurologist consultant and Dentist :/ I can't be bothered lol and then ill have appointments ever 2 weeks after!

anyone else feel abit bamboozled by appointments :/ x

Hi Hun! Good luck with all the appointments xxxx

They would tell you if your placenta was anterior... and it would be in your anatomy scan results. It's called placenta previa.

Mine wasn't on his tummy, but he was upside down kicking his feet in the air... They do some crazy things in there.

Aww lol they do!

I have anterior placenta too but can feel loads and oh has been able to feel with his hand on belly. I know it's frustrating but soon everyone will be able to as well, once the babies are all bigger, I think we've maybe had it earlier due to me being on my third xxx

I thought placenta Previa was where it covers the cervix? I really don't want that...

Scan tomorrow!!!!! now I just need the phone repair shop to hurry and fix my phone and give it back or else I won't get to vid o call oh!

 

[MissR]

I feel baby every day at around 5pm and always at 9pm. I know in going to have a night owl who loves to sleep all day and wake all night lol! Xx

 

[Charmed86]

The tickles I feel seem to always be around that time too , MissR I told DH & he was so excited that our little bear will take after him, he's very much a night owl too! Well, we both are I hate mornings! Haha

I'm so exited, we've just had a contractor in to look at some of the rooms we want redecorating and whatnot.. Including the nursery! I can't wait to get it sorted. We've been holding off on buying too much as we just don't have anywhere to store it atm. Well, that's a lie, it could all go in the office, but DH hates 'clutter', so it's in our bedroom for now. The office is going to have a *massive* transformation into the nursery, so I am going to take some before & after photos. So excited!

I have got major cramps in my stomach right now. I think my uterus must be right on top of my bowels (sorry, tmi, I know!!). Normally it's worse in the evenings, but I seem to have woken up with it. I'm super gassy. Yuck.

And finally.. I saw a consultant the other day as I am apparently 'High Risk' - I think due to my weight? No one has actually clarified that for me.. Anyway, I was originally asked to go onto aspirin to reduce the risk of pre-e, but the consultant said not to because of my history of reflux. He said the risks outweighed the benefits in my case. He did ask how my reflux presents itself, so I told him (chest pain, left arm & shoulder pain, pain in my back, pain in my jaw etc). He seemed *very* concerned & said if it happens again then he will order a 24hr ECG. Well, it happened again, so I'm currently waiting for a phone call from my midwife to tell me what to do, as I don't have a direct number for this consultant. He seemed pretty annoyed that my GP didn't bother to do any further testing to make sure my heart was ok! I guess now is the time to make sure, considering the additional stress it's under right now!

Hope everyone else is having a lovely Thursday morning xx

Thanks for the correction. I guess I understood wrong.

 

[Tink1o5]

No problem. It all can get confusing

 

[tallybee]

Oh has just left for a week, I hope they let me video call him during the scan tomorrow x

 

[Tink1o5]

Hopefully they allow it tally.

 

[apreslaube]

Had the ultrasound today... baby was showing his boy bits loud and proud!!! So excited and of course he was moving a ton again - no caffeine no orange juice. He likes to keep changing positions in there! I'll post a pic tonight as I don't think I can on phone.

 

[GingerPanda]

Yay, team !

 

[Dark_Star]

Congrats on team blue!

So many little boys on this thread... hopefully that means my twin B will turn out to be a girl on Tuesday

 

[GingerPanda]

Dark Star, I'm pretty sure I predicted Twin A would be a boy and Twin B would be a girl. So hopefully I'm right.

 

[Tink1o5]

Congrats on team

 

[MissR]

Congrats

And charmed I hate mornings too! But I love my sleep so am going to struggle especially with DD to deal with in the day.

I can actually see baby wiggle in my belly now. I am in the bath at the mo and my belly is all over the place. Is it normal to be able to actually see it so soon? Does this mean baby will be huge?! Lol x

 

[startd]

Congratulations!
