Hey ladies!
Been away for a bit as I randomly stopped receiving emails telling me people had replied! So excited for all these gender reveals :)

I get my star scan next week and I'm really looking forward to it - I'm paranoid something's wrong as I'm not putting on any weight. Bump seems to be growing but haven't put on any weight for about 3-4. weeks so I'm scared :( Plus I found out yesterday I shoots have had a blood test done at 8-10 weeks to rule out some thyroid antibody thing (as I've got an underactive thyroid) which could potentially harm my baby but my gp just didn't order it!!!! So upset. Need to go back to hospital to get it done ASAP apparently. So lots of anxiety which I hope will calm down in the next weeks.

Keep the names coming. I'm loving them!!!

Hopinggirl..I still haven't put on even 1lb in 17 weeks. The nurse said its completely fine and many women don't gain weight until after 20 weeks. I also have to get my bloods done every 4 weeks because I have an antibody or something in my blood. Its a little worrying but she said not to stress over it. So I know how you're feeling :hugs:

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! You've made me feel so much better about my lack of weight gain. :)

Sounds like you have what I might have... let's see what the results say in a couple of weeks. I just wish I could just enjoy the whole experience rather than stressing! As soon as I relax and enjoy it, something else comes along...
 
Hoping girl I wouldn't worry about the lack of weight gain I have lost a pound in the past month and my dr said my weight is fine. I've only gained 3 lbs so far and I was thin to start with. In fact my baby is measuring a week ahead!

As far as the thyroid I found out I have an under active thyroid too I am taking medicine for it but they keep having to up the dose bc my levels are still off. My dr isn't worried about the baby bc of this though and he said its likely I had thyroid troubles throughout my pregnancy with my daughter and never even got it checked but she is perfect as can be :thumbup:
 
DrGomps - my uterus is about an inch above my belly button already, though in this case it's just from having a stretchy uterus in my third pregnancy! I have a feeling I'm going to get big this time around!

Hoping girl 2 - in my pregnancy with my daughter, I don't think I gained any weight until I was over 20 weeks. I really didn't start gaining until 25+ weeks (but my body made up for it - in late second and all of third tri, I gained over 45 lbs!)

AFM, I had a doctor appointment two days ago and baby sounded great. We get our gender ultrasound in 8 days!!

This is me at 17 weeks:

Ladies you at all the best :) glad to know ishouldn worry about not gaining weight. Sorry for panicking, first time doing this and I get anxious whenever I don't fit what the books tells me my body should be doing :) thank you again, you keep me sane!!!
 
Its my first time too hoping girl. Its hard to know what to think about all the different things happening. I have to say though I have relaxed since my 12 week scan and am enjoying the pregnancy. I've been lucky so far regarding symptoms with nothing too bad. The nurse said I should expect to gain 2-3 stone from week 29 onwards. I hope that's not true as it seems a lot to gain in 20 weeks. I'm over weight as it is so I'm happy to not get too heavy!
 
I'm so jealous of all you ladies with lovely round bumps; I have horrible saggy skin after my first pregnancy so I look fat all the time LOL
 
Hi Ladies!

Had my gender scan yesterday, it's a PINK one!! :pink:

To say we are over the moon is an under statement!! :happydance:

I also found out I have an anterior placenta, which is probably why her kicks are quite light and always only ever feel them on my left side, when she was scanning me, the wand was always on the left, so presume my placenta is on the right at the front?

Here's a picture of my cheeky little lady :haha:

Congrats kdw! So many pink bumps in here!

Anyone else feeling an increase in Braxton hicks or feeling them at all? I'm starting to get them every evening now.
 
So many girls!! Even in my photography, I hardly ever have photoshoots with little boys or women expecting boys.

I haven't felt her move yet, not that I know of at least. I have gas all the time now and have heard it feels similar to gas bubbles... So maybe I have felt movement and just mistook her for gas...who knows. I'm not worried about it. I'm not even 17 weeks yet and my doctor said anywhere from 16-22 weeks in when I should start noticing her moving. I had a dream that I could feel her and woke up so disappointed that I couldn't since it seemed so real.

Also had another dream where I started bleeding and went to the doctor. He cut me open to take her out and check her then put her back in!?:shrug: I was thinking the whole time in the dream... 'Isn't an ultrasound easier?' :wacko:

I can tell where my mind is recently! All things baby! My mom and I are decorating the nursery this week! :happydance:
 
kdw I only feel kicks on one side too; I wonder if that's why. If it is, it would be ,y third anterior placenta; was kinda hoping to get to experience a posterior for once :haha:

Heartburn is a b*tch right now :(

OMG I had a dream where I was lying in bed and took the baby out of my tummy, had a look and put him back in. We dont know the sex yet but in the dream it was a boy. I wonder is it a premonition?!! Lol.
 
Baby A-Girl-Genevieve (I think) she is SUPER active..punching and moving around...her cord was between her legs so took awhile to get the money shot. LOL

Baby B and C, most of the time B was facing down so finally got a shot of his face.

And the ENTIRE session...its long, about 36 minutes, so I don't expect anyone to watch the whole thing...but its neat to skim if you have never seen a multiple gestation ultrasound before...

I love your names, DrGomps! Especially Juliette, it's one of my favorites! So glad you got your mix of babies!
 
Congrats KDW!!!

There are so many :pink: bumps in here!! I hope I can try to balance it out and add some :blue:... I find out in 8 days!!!

Gomps, your little boy is going to be so outnumber! :haha: Also, I love your name choices - you have such great taste!

Me! I have them quite often and it was starting to worry me because I didn't rembrr having them so early and frequent with my 1st. I called the dr and they said its normal- but to just take it easy when I start feeling them and f they continue take a Tylenol or a 30 minute warm bath to try to help the muscles relax.
