2nd tri and beyond Due Jul/Aug/Sep 2018

I'm 17+4 today and finally felt the baby move not like butterflies but like something is physically moving around inside me its crazy but I love it xx

 

[Alligator]

Aww angela I love that feeling! Despite my anterior placenta I felt baby for sure at about 17/18 weeks, small movements and I wasn't 100% but now looking back I know it was baby. We found out at our scan that she's SUPER active so it makes sense. I now feel her often, DH still can't really feel from the outside (minus once or twice) but I feel her multiple times a day, and then from 5-10pm each night she's very active!

Alli I have an anterior placenta this time and worried about how feeling movement will be. I felt definite movement with my daughter (posterior placenta) around 17 weeks (probably more like 17+4 when I knew for sure- I only remember so specifically because it was New Year's Eve lol) and my husband could feel it from the outside around that time too.

I'm 17+1 weeks now and not sure if I've felt movement- and if I have, it's not a regular and obvious. I really liked movement because it was so reassuring for me- I hope I start feeling some soon!!!

 

[Alligator]

I'm sure you will Starlight! And I think obviously every babe and mom is different, depending on how you carry and what not, I felt movements like when she changed positions or rolled over, long before I felt kicks (those feel distinct, like a tap from the inside out). But it often felt like I had a little fish wiggling in there around 18 weeks.

Angela how fun that you felt movement! I'm 16+5 I think today and maybe felt something this morning. It was kind of a bubbly feeling. Could have been had, but I don't recall ever feeling gas bubbles, but also don't usually lol for that either, lol!

My friend totally noticed my bump this morning. I think I need to just embrace it or I'll just look like I'm getting fat. It's still quite smushy.

Both DH and I seem to refer to baby as she... so we're probably having a boy, lol! Hoping we hold out team yellow!

 

[Alligator]

I referred to baby as he and yep we're having a girl! LOL although hubby the whole time leaned girl, he was right.

 

[Starlight32]

I try to not refer to sex but I do find myself thinking the boy name we've picked out sometimes. Can't wait to find out!

 

[AngelaALA]

Guys how far off till you find out I wasn't meant to find out till 20th this month but due to bleeding I had to have another scan I am a little gutting we didnt wait till half way point xx

How is everyone anyway my bump is getting really big now feel like I'll be the size of a house by the time I reach full term xx

 

[MKaykes]

We're planning on a surprise at birth! We'll see if we hold out. Because of PGS on our embryos we could have found out day 1.

I have the anatomy scan at 21 weeks, the first week of April, I hope I don't try and sneak a peak!

 

[Alligator]

I’m huge already! I have a small torso (even my doctor commented on it) so I think baby just popped out more. More than one person this week was shocked when i said I was due in July. They thought I was much further along. Felt a little hurt by that but what can i do? All that matters is that my girl is healthy!

 

[Starlight32]

I felt definite movement at 17+4 a couple days ago.. but it's been so few and far between! I know that's normal this early but I recall feeling my daughter more this early on-- although my memory might not be the best!! I am looking forward to regular movement!

I have a small frame and bump was HUGE by 9 months. I was looking at pictures the other day wondering how I even got around!

 

[AngelaALA]

Alligator Im same as you people think Im further along as I have popped really early on my belly is getting big and round already xx

Starlight Im sure movement will happen soon enough you'll be feeling kicks I cant wait till I feel my first proper kick

Happy Mothers Day guys my husband didnt wish me happy mothers day this morning and I was so upset but Ive come home from work to two cards one from him and from Alex (the bump) perfume a new work mug as my other broke flowers and a nice bath I was so made up xx

 

[hellojello25]

I've felt this little one for a while now. At first it was just flutters, then it went away for a bit (probably because my uterus moved up into my abdomen) and now I'll occasionally get a kick. It's faint, but definitely present. This one is waaaay more active than my first lol I think I might be in trouble!

My uterus is already up to my bellybutton, but I didn't think it was supposed to be there for a few more weeks. Do you think it could be because I've had a baby before, or because this one is going to be big? Judging from his brother's size, he will be fairly large lol.

 

[Alligator]

Likely because you've had a baby before, but could just be the way your body is built! My uterus is a couple inches above my belly button now which is apparently more than usual but, as mentioned, I have a small torso...less room to grow in there!

 

[Starlight32]

Been feeling more movement today than the past few days 😀

I'm not sure where my uterus is, it seems huge based on my bump lol. My OB will start measuring next appt I think.

 

[lilmisscaviar]

Sorry I've been MIA ladies. My youngest DD came down with hand, foot and mouth so I've been away taking care of her. Poor girl... first time she's been sick during her young life so she's been really miserable. Taking it like a trooper though.

My LO moves all the time. I don't think there is a moment he is ever still and it scares me a bit because my ODS has given me more stress than any of my kids due to his hyperness making him do things that have given me a mini heart attack more than once. I always joke he's the one that's going to give me grey hair... lol. He too was overly active in the womb. My youngest DS is very laid back, almost too chill to the point where he was late reaching a lot of physical milestones.

I sometimes feel this LO down low, below my belly button, while other times I feel him close to the bottom of my ribcage, which is a lot higher than he should be right now. My only conclusion is that when he's that far up he's in the head down position and that's his little feet kicking me up high. Been feeling lots of hiccups too. I have my anatomy scan due this Friday and I'm excited to see him again. At the same time I just hope he stays still for it, unlike at the private scan we went to in order to find out his gender when he flipped around so much that the tech had a hard time getting his goods

Angela how sweet that your OH remembered Mother's Day!

 

[Alligator]

lilmiss, your poor DD! I hope she's well again...and thank goodness you didn't catch that! I remember it went through my nephews school and my BIL caught it...he was miserable. So much worse in adults, I have heard.

 

[hellojello25]

Caviar - that's so exciting about your scan! You'll have to update w/ a pic! I just had to reschedule my scan from March 28 to April 4 due to my fiancé being out of town. It's only a week, but it still kinda stinks that it's further away now.

My oldest is an extremely active toddler. He doesn't really sit still except for sleeping and when he wants to read a book, but in the womb he wasn't terribly active. I never had reason to worry movement-wise with him, but he just didn't seem interested in moving around a lot.

This baby feels like he's ballet dancing in there! Kicks, swooshes, turning sensations, like all the time for the past week or so. If he's more active than his brother, then we are in for a treat!

 

[homegrown21]

We don't find out until the 26th of this month and it's driving me crazy with wonder! We want to have another boy, but I feel like it's a girl. But we're happy either way, just really excited to bring another one into our family! Sometimes I feel him/her moving around, rolling over onto my bladder or just switching sides. No kicks as of yet, or my favorite hiccups!

 

[lilmisscaviar]

Alligator surprisingly no one else has caught it so far. Usually most illnesses spread through the whole house like wild fire. I guess I'm also knocking on wood when I say this because the incubation period for HFM is 3-6 days so there's still a chance others could get it, plus her blisters haven't gone away yet. She is however no longer feverish, thankfully.

Hellojello sorry to hear that your scan had to be rescheduled too but at least your fiance will be able to be there. I will definitely update when I'm home from my ultrasound tomorrow
