Both pregnancies at my dating scan I have measured a week ahead and yet DS was induced and 10 days late and I am sure this little one will be late too I think I just have long babies

 

[TexMel]

So I had my checkup today. All went well, got to hear the sweet heartbeat, but no ultrasound this time. Scheduled anatomy scan for June 25, but I may see if the week before that would be ok. Trying to plan a gender reveal party, but I am so confident it is a boy.

Congrats to all you ladies that are team blue and the one (so far) that is team pink! Hope the rest of you get exactly what you are hoping for!

My baby was measuring 9 or 10 days ahead, which is odd as I haven't had very big babies up to this point (6 lb 4oz and 7 lb1oz)! So I'm thinking that I actually ovulated earlier - I think I determined I could have O'd maybe 5 days sooner than I thought (it was a REALLY wacky cycle...)?? And then there's the fact that even being a millimeter off in their measurements will set the estimation off by several days, so I'm not too worried about it. Baby will come when ready, or I'll be induced. My husband is hoping for a Halloween-night baby... he's even asked (already!) if I can schedule an induction for Halloween day to ensure it.

Is anybody else starting to get some kicks? I seem to have graduated quite suddenly from flutters and popcorn pops to [small] thumps, bumps, and knocks. And you know - I've known I was pregnant since Feb 27th, I threw up for months, I'm exhausted and my pelvis aches like nobody's business, and I've seen the baby on ultrasound and heard the heartbeat via doppler..... and it took a solid kick from the baby to finally convince me that I am ACTUALLY pregnant.

Aww so exciting to hear everyone is doing well! I booked the gender ultrasound June 29th, and I am counting down the days lol we are going to reveal it on July 4th with pink or blue sparklers!! Also my date is changed to Nov. 14th! My son was originally April 19th then moved to the 14th and I had him the 4th, I wonder if the same will happen with this one?!

 

[Melsue129]

Yay!!!! Congrats ladies on the and !!!! I cant believe there is finally a girl now!!! Exciting...

I havent been on in a while because of the holiday weekend and works been nuts.. So as I was reading and scrolling through i was going fast by the signatures in case anyone that rec'd gender scans had updated what they were having.... I was saying "dont look at the signatures, dont look at the signatures" I didnt want to spoil it for myself.. LOL

All is well here.. Just wish I could feel the baby more with my anterior placenta.. Thats the bummer for me.. We've been working on purchasing a home so we will be moving soon, not looking forward to the packing.. Ugh..

Glad everyone seems to be doing well!!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Mel-I had an anterior placenta with my first. I didn't feel him till around 23 weeks but hearing his heartbeat made me relived! I don't have an anterior this time but I still don't feel as much, I think I do but then I think it's a gas bubble HAHAHA

 

[Mimzy3]

Aley just this past weekend I started feeling the popcorn pops! It amazing feeling! I can't wait till I can feel him all day long Right now its just a couple times a day.

 

[aley28]

Mimzy, I still only feel movement a couple times a day, but its gradually getting stronger at least! I find myself worrying so much through this pregnancy and I'm finding the movement so reassuring I can't wait to feel it on the outside... I'm SO excited for my older son to feel movements, and he's really curious about it too.

My cousin's wife is having a baby today (or had it last night, I'm not sure... nothing has been updated on Facebook since last night when she updated from the birthing center) and its got me so darn broody! Which is crazy, as I'm only 6 months out from meeting my own little bundle

 

[littlesteph]

had midwife today, blood pressure was 90/50 which she wasn't too pleased with, it's not the lowest its been. laid down so he could use the Doppler and she says oh I can see where baby is, had a feel and said oh baby is still small, found the heartbeat right away.

 

[DHBH0930]

No movements here yet, hopefully in the next few weeks I'll feel something! I keep forgetting I'm pregnant! Once that starts I think it will feel more real for me too.

 

[littlesteph]

no movements here yet either, i'm hoping it won't be long

 

[lomelindi17]

I haven't felt anything that I could be sure was a movement yet, little tiny things here and there but nothing has been certain. Can't wait to feel more! I forget I'm preggo too sometimes except this past 2 weeks my belly has gotten huge! And my bbs decided to grow another cup size in the last couple days lol so I'm trying to get used to feeling fat all the time haha!

 

[Mrs_Bump]

I wish I didn't feel pregnant but I still feel rough. I've gotten quite pale and both my eyes look like I've been punched. That and the insomnia has left me exhausted and a bit depressed. I can feel something which is weird for me because I had an anterior placenta last time. Have my scan on 15/6 but I'm not feeling as excited as I thought I would. Last time finding out the gender helped me to bond because I could stop calling the baby just baby or it so I'm hoping the same will happen this time.

 

[Twag]

Mrs Bump I hope you start to feel better soon I hope by 20 weeks we both start to feel better

I know what you mean I can't wait for my scan so that I can start to bond properly with baby I don't think I have the time at the moment to bond as I have DS to look after and once I know the gender I can start to think of names etc and really bond

I have been getting weird feelings down there sometimes like a fish flopping, others feels like something is stretching out against my belly and odd poke but nothing definate yet - looking forward to some proper movement tbh

 

[aley28]

MrsBump, that sounds rough! I've been getting some insomnia as well... I wish I knew how to make it stop. I'm always exhausted by bedtime, but then I lay down and it takes me an hour or longer to fall asleep.

Twag, are you still being sick?

 

[Twag]

If I don't take my meds then yes and otherwise just nauseas feeling all day but I am able to eat - DH and I actually had dinner together last night in the first time in the evening for nearly 18 weeks now
I am hoping 20 weeks it will go away

 

[aley28]

Mine faded really fast once it did decide to finally go! I've only been off meds for like 10 days I can cope with the nausea, just happy to have finally stopped barfing. I hope yours leaves soon! Being sick for half of pregnancy is just not fair!

 

[Twag]

Way to go being off the meds I am hoping it will be gone by 20 weeks but my sister was sick until after baby was born with #2 so I am not holding out too much hope
I am already starting to feel my meds wearing off as I feel really flemy and sick but holding off until 5pm when they are due another 35 mins

 

[Tricks26]

Congrats littlesteph that is fantastic news and we are due in the same day I think
Xxxxx

haha not me, I don't find out till july lol, I meant we as in the group lol.
i'm due the 22nd, should have been the 10th but got put back. xx

Haha I meant congrats smile and little Steph we are due the same day oh no baby brain already

 

[Mimzy3]

Shouldn't we start getting some energy back now that we are in second trimester?!?!?
Omgosh the past two days I've been just exhausted! I'm so tired today I can barely function at work. I fell asleep at the doctor's office waiting for them to call me back. And I'm not normally the type of person that can just fall asleep or nap any random place.
