jello - yes! Like I was kicked repeatedly, hard, right in between the legs. I explained to DH that it felt like saddle soreness, but worse, that never goes away (from a spin bike, for example, because he does spin classes). I think that plus getting kicked he kinda got it but not really...they never really do. I had planned to work until 38.5 weeks and then take my maternity leave (just so happens to line up nicely with a long weekend here and they wanted me to pick a date so I picked that one lol), but I have 10 vacation days to use so likely my last day will be June 15, which is crazy (and soon!)

I am really worried that once she flips (I am almost certain she isn't head down yet) that the pain will be unbearable. I don't know how much longer I can just work through it to be honest!
 
Sorry you guys are struggling with pain it sounds really grim Ive not been getting that but have had some shooting pains and tightening of the stomach seen midwife today she said its braxton hix and nothing to worry about just keep an eye on it xx I have my Glucose test on Monday not looking forward to that and next midwife appt will be at 28wks feels like its going so quick now Im working up to 9 days before my due date finish work on 1st August hoping to take 7 months off x
 
Angela - I just got the paperwork for my glucose test and I have to go in a few weeks when I hit 28 weeks. Def not looking forward to it. Hope yours went well!

Just had my monthly checkup and everything is looking good! They recommended I get a maternity belly band to help with the pelvic pain. If it gets worse, they said they would refer me to a physio, but unfortunately being uncomfortable comes along with the territory of being pregnant. As if I didn't already know lol!
 
Had my 20/21 week anatomy scan on Monday, everything is looking great; baby is measuring a week ahead, but I'm still on course for 9/7. They said to expect a large baby again this time around, our first born was 9lb13oz...so yay me! lol! The only thing that has me bothered is that they're sending me to a radiologist for another ultrasound Friday morning. They said that they couldn't get a good angle of his heart; the tech spent almost 10 minutes looking at it, saw all 4 valves blood flow and everything. So not too sure as to why I'm being sent out for another one, needless to say it's been ticking in the back of my head the last 2 days.
Other then that, he's been super active towards the end of the day, he'll kick or punch throughout the day but waits until I'm home to let the fun begin! Hope everyone is getting along great!! We're getting closer to holding our babies!!
 
Just kidding about having a girl! It's a boy! Lol! I followed up with the fertility clinic just because I could after we were told girl and they confirmed they transferred an XY embryo. We had a follow up scan today and boy parts were just hiding in the image they captured (and at the time we told them we didn't want to know gender, so the doctor didn't have much to go off of).

I'm 25 weeks and he's measuring 26w1d so probably looking at a big baby. I was almost 9 pounds a month early and DH was just inde 8 at full term. I've said all along I want a DH size baby. My sister had one just under 10 pounds and 1 just over 10, so...we'll probably be at least 8 pounds. Crazy that he's already 2 pounds in there! I've only gained 10 pounds. So at least after baby hopefully most of the weight will drop!
 
Whoa Mkaykes! Big babies in your family. My DH was nearly 10lbs and I was not even 7lbs so I would prefer something in the middle lol. Or closer to my size!

Homegrown I'm sure all is well and maybe there's just specific images he didn't get, I know there are so many really specific shots they need and even if they see most of what they get but not all they'll send you for another scan, even when they suspect all is likely fine. Try not to worry (easier said than done I know).

I can't believe I am 30 weeks. 3/4 of the way done! I got emotional this morning thinking I get to meet my little one so soon...I can't wait!
 
I have a scan next week because my baby was measuring big at my anatomy scan (2 weeks ahead) and also to check my fluid levels since I had polyhydramnios last time. Also have my GD test that same day... fun fun. Big babies are the norm for us. My DH was 10lbs 2oz and I was almost 9 lbs so I think it's just hereditary. My first was 9 lbs a couple days before her due date but that's the closest I've ever gotten to knowing how big our babies *could* be because I had my others early. I'm at risk of premature labor again this time - another reason why we've decided to make this our last baby. My midwife doesn't think I'll even make it to 35 weeks, which was when I had my last baby so I constantly have this shadow of doubt hanging over me.

Girl, same. My first was almost 10 lbs (9lbs 15oz) and this one is already measuring bigger than he did. At my appointment yesterday he was a week ahead (26 weeks), and I know that this is the time when his brother really started to pull ahead of the average.

Alex was in the 50th percentile at the 20 week scan and in the 100th percentile when he was born for both height and weight. I'm not sure of the percentile for this little guy at his 20 week scan, but it was definitely more than 50 because I looked up the average height/weight online for his gestation afterwards.

My mom and I keep joking about whether or not this little one is going to break the family "record" - my brother was born at 10 lbs 4 oz and 23 inches. We shall see!
 
Hello ladies.. I just found this thread somehow. I am due 2 September, but since this is #3 and will be my third section- I will be having baby sometime between 20-27 Aug. My second was delivered at 38 weeks since he was so big... I am hoping for a smaller baby this go round, but not sure as I am ballooning up already at 22 weeks.

Also... this is baby #3 AFTER a 9 year gap and lots and lots of trying and heart ache. We are over the moon excited for this little miracle and cannot wait. Big Sister is 12 and Big Brother is 9... I look forward to connecting with you all.

Welcome! I'm due Sept 7th with my second son! Hope to hear lots from you!
 
So I think we're officially changing the baby's name. I figured this might happen, but I'm still a little bummed. I really like the name Bennett, but my fiancé had never really been big on it. Luckily I really like the other name we have been throwing around - Samuel. Sammy for short.

My fiancé still won't commit fully to Samuel, but we've been through thousands of names, and Samuel and Bennett were the two we liked the most. So it's Baby Sammy for now, though it might change again :haha:
 
Samuel is a great name as well! Sometimes men can be the worst and so indecisive with names. DH keeps suggesting names and I’m like, no. We have our list!!!
 
Our name seems very set too. We are already calling her by it! Lol
 
Hi, ladies! I hope everyone had a great Mother's Day!!

Had my 21 week scan 2 weeks ago and everything is looking great! Baby is growing large(1lb, 4oz), but still on schedule for Sept. 7th, which feels soooo far away but just right around the corner. Starting to feel a lot of aches, pulls and pains. Been visiting a floating therapy center once a month for relief, it's been helpful in so many ways; especially for relaxing and focusing on just ME!

No mention of baby names, our son calls him Alexander every time someone asks him what his baby brother's name is.

The baby's room has made HUGE progress and I'm almost done! What a relief it'll be to finally have it painted and set up!

No news on our baby shower, kinda losing hope on it; but my aunt might be willing to let us use her house again. So more news on that much later!

Overall, been feeling great, he's super active loves to kick me to sleep! Can't wait to hold him in just 4 months! Eek!
 
Things are well here - we've got baby girl's room almost ready to go! Starting to feel super close to July haha. I am definitely getting antsy for it. Getting uncomfortable and bit and sore and being done with pregnancy haha. And the weather is getting warmer which is lovely but also hard, being pregnant. Baby girl is very active but her kicks and movements start to hurt sometimes (I still love it, it's my favourite thing about pregnancy hands down). But most positions (except laying in my bed) are uncomfortable these days which is challenging since I still need to work and generally get on with life.
 
Glad to hear everyone is doing well! We're doing well here too, for the most part lol. Alex just got over having Fifths Disease and I'm getting over having a cold, but I'm hoping it's smooth sailing from here on out!

We just bought the baby's car seat on Amazon and it should be here on Monday. Now all we need is a co-sleeper/bassinet and he should be all set! We're also planning on pulling Alex's old clothes out of storage in July to start washing them and getting them ready for the baby to wear. He will be staying in our room, so we're working on getting that ready too. Luckily the room is big enough where he can have his own little space and we can have ours, but we need to rearrange some furniture and whatnot, and I'm beginning to feel like we're running out of time. Yikes!
 
Oh yes we need a bassinet, I have one but it's a hand me down and the mattress in it is very soft and padded and I've always thought brand new babes need hard surfaces? So I hoping I either get one at our baby shower or maybe we'll buy one after, just something small and easy for our room as baby will sleep with us the first while!
 
I'm feeling more unready for this baby than with any of my others lol. We don't need too much, just a car seat and a crib, but it's actually getting the time with four other LOs to get stuff... not to mention the energy lol. I already have enough clothes and a stroller from my previous kids. I was also going to hand down the swing from my last baby but I think I'm going to buy another one because I didn't really care for that one. It rocked back-and-forth and I'd rather have one that rocks side-to-side. I tell ya swings are amazing for the first 3 months.

Agreed, swings are a lifesaver! Alex loved his so much and would often times fall asleep. As long as I wasn't about to fall asleep too, I let him stay there :haha:

We're trying to decide between a bassinet or a co-sleeper right now. Bassinets seem like they're usually smaller, so we would save some room, but Baby Boy is going to be big and we're not sure when we're going to move Alex to a toddler bed yet, so the crib is occupado. A co-sleeper might be the better option, but Alex only fit in his until about 5 months or so...decisions, decisions.

Hopefully we'll have Alex moved to a "Big Boy Bed" in the fall or around the holidays. I think that timing will work out...fingers crossed! LOL
