(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[brit3435]

They say feeling movements happens later with an anterior placenta, and I'm pretty sure I have one. I've had one with every pregnancy, which sucks. I'd hoped to have ONE pregnancy with a posterior placenta with my first I didn't feel her at all until 20 weeks, and then it was a kick. With my second I was 15 weeks, and I felt vibration type flutters. This time, what I think I'm feeling is more than flutters; it's like the swish of a leg moving about. But I had "phantom kicks" (when you feel kicks after the birth, as if you're still pregnant) after each pregnancy and it kind of feels like that too, so I don't know whether to believe it

How can you tell if your placenta is anterior or posterior? I'm not sure what mine is, my dr. never said!

I haven't felt any movements yet. I didn't until 15 weeks with Keira so I am sure it will happen soon. Finally starting to feel less ill.

It should be in your notes, if you're in the UK. If you dont have notes that you can take away with you, the midwife or OB should be able to tell you at your next checkup. Otherwise they can tell you at the next scan.

Finally starting to be less hungry during the day. Good thing because I've gained so much weight already

Hey girls, can't believe I forgot I subscribed to this thread. I was looking and looking for a December thread lol

I need my date changed from 18th dec to the 20th please

I've been reading and catching up on everyone. Everyone seems to be coming along nicely. Can't believe we are all so far along already. Don't know if you remember me but this is my third pregnancy. I'm massive already. I think I was this big at around 20 weeks with my DD and DS. I'm in maternity clothes since 12 weeks and people guessed at around 11 weeks. Loving looking pregnant though

My morning sickness is just as bad. Throwing up every morning and sometimes throughout the day. Still have very strong waves of nausea and generally feel 'hung over' all day long. But I did start feeling movement last week. Just if I lay down and am very very quiet. I love that feeling .

Had my 12 week scan and loved seeing little one wriggle about. Everything looks good and healthy. I can't wait for my 20 week scan. But I am firmly staying in team I love that feeling after the birth were you catch the baby and have a look to see what you have!

Hope everyone is well and I promise I'll not forget were this thread is from now on xx

I'm so jealous of everyone who is definitely feeling movements! I have felt a couple of fizzing type feelings behind my belly button but thats about it so far! I don't even know if its baby!
He/she is very active as I can hear it moving like crazy on the doppler so I would have thought I'd feel more but its obviously just to early for me! any day now

Aww at least you get to hear baby. Soon enough your bump will be moving about all over the place

 

[ladylovelylip]

Ohh just wondering as well anyone else experiencing palpitations? I haven't had this in my other 2 pregnancies but I've experienced it since the start of this pregnancy.

I love it, the midwife advised me not to get a doppler but I was just so worried after my mc that something was going wrong this time.

 

[Lara310809]

Palpitations are fairly common in pregnancy; something to do with the extra blood in your body. You should contact your midwife and tell them just in case, though I think it's usually nothing to worry about.

Okay, I can definitely feel the little one. I have been unsure for the past week or so, but now it's unmistakable. Not strong, but little swishy movements, like there's a leg kicking about. I felt it again while sewing up a hole in my trousers LOL.

 

[DHBH0930]

I haven't felt any movement yet, my doctor had just told me at my first appointment that she just expects me to feel something by 20 weeks or so. So hopefully in the next couple weeks!

I have a check up today in an hour, I still haven't HEARD the heartbeat, just seen it. At my 11 week scan they couldn't find it, but a week later I saw it on my screening u/s. So I BETTER hear it today!

I'm 15 weeks today, she told me they usually don't find it till 12, which is why they didn't get concerned last time. But if they can't find it today (which I hope is not the case) I'm hoping they will do an u/s to verify all is good. I have heard stories that just due to the positioning of baby they were like 18 weeks along till they could hear the hb.. So it's possible.

I also have my gender scan in 2 days!!!

We have been buying a lot of stuff of craigslist and going to garage sales. I've gotten some incredible deals!

Anyone else out there buying stuff yet? Especially if this is your 1st and you have nothing...

Dimondlove thats fantastic congratulations xxx

Lara thanks for the reasurance. I've never heard of palpitations being common in pregnancy before so good to know. I'll run it past my midwife at my next appointment just so they are aware.

 

[ready2Bmum]

Yayyyy!!! I'm so happy for you! Little girls are soo much fun! They love to run and play and get dirty along with the boys but then you can dress them up in little sun dresses....now lets see if I will be joining you pink teamers after my scan on Friday!

 

[brit3435]

DHBH can't wait to hear what you are having! Do you think it's a girl or a boy?

Lara I will have to ask at my scan on fri where my placenta is...we heard the heartbeat with doppler at 9 weeks with this one and not until 12 weeks with dd so I wonder if I had an anterior with her and now a posterior?

I'm so excited to see these genders rolling in I can't believe how early a lot of us are finding out!

I am not supposed to have my anatomy scan until 20 weeks but we just couldn't bear the wait so we are paying for a private gender scan

I'm hoping girl but I think it will be a boy. Hoping the baby cooperates for the scan so we can see!

Also my appt went well today, heard heartbeat for the first time. She found it the second she touched the Doppler to me. It was 154 bpm. What a beautiful sound it was!

My anatomy scan/ gender scan at my doc is not for another 4 weeks. Which is why I'm choosing to pay for a private scan. I can stand waiting!

 

[diamondlove33]

We paid for the private scan, too! I was way too impatient. Hahaha - It was totally worth it, I drank orange juice on the way to the appt and my little girl was wiggling and bouncing and squirming around it was AMAZING I cried like a baby. AND she had the hiccups. Beautiful. Best $65 i've spend IN MY LIFE!

 

[onetwothreebp]

Congratulations on the news of a little girl!!

We don't find out for another couple of weeks but I am dying to know!! I haven't really let myself think about it because I know if I hear 'girl', I'll probably cry. I want a little boy so bad
