I was just going to ask if people have felt movements yet? I am 17 weeks and with my son I had an anterior placenta so I knew I wouldn't feel him for awhile and I didn't till about 23 weeks. Now with this one at my 12 week scan they said my placenta is not anterior and so I would feel this baby more but I haven't felt anything yet and I am starting to panic/get worried!
 
Amcolechii I have been feeling movements for a little over two weeks. I felt movements earlier with my first though although they say you should feel movements sooner with your second pregnancy.:shrug: Maybe you're just not familiar with how the little movement feel, since with your son you didn't feel them till later on?
 
I'm glad someone brought this up because I have been worrying about the same thing. I have not felt him move except once a few weeks ago. I go to the Dr tomorrow for a check up so I was trying to hold out on my worrying and talk to him about it. I think he may do a quick scan so I will get to see him again for a minute or two but I am sure hes going to tell me its still early and blah blah blah try to not worry about it ect...
I just think pregnant women have those worries no matter what
 
I don't feel anything yet. I'm worried too, but it's too early, fortunately we saw our baby last visit and he/she was moving soo much.

About the gender my OH and I want a baby boy and my mom is team blue. I'm worried to have a disppointment even though we want this baby soo much no matter what and we pray to have a healthy child.
 
I have felt fish flopping since about 15/16 weeks on & off more recently I am starting to feel little thumps/kicks and sometimes when laying down quietly one the outside but nothing huge and not consistently :shrug:

It was much later with my son
 
Hi, back from another trip, 2 more left, leaving again Friday for 11 days. Really getting a bigger bump now, I feel like I'm huge for how far along I am lol. I felt the baby kick for the first time on Saturday, so cool! Now every day I feel a few flutters and tiny pokes. It will be so cool when dh can feel them too.

Hope everyone is starting to feel better now, sorry for those who are still having nausea and pelvic pain, hope it eases up quickly. Catmummy I hope you are recovering ok and you didn't get hurt too badly in your fall. <3 Congrats to those who have found out the gender! I really feel like I'm having a girl and have a name pretty set in my mind, and really can't think of a boy name that seems to fit so I'm taking that as a sign lol.

As for weight gain, my bbs can't stop growing lol and I've definitely put on some extra padding in the thighs, hips and bum, but most of it is going to my belly. My midwife said it's totally normal to put on an insulation layer of fat over the belly so I'm not worrying about it. I have to eat every couple hours or I have painful hunger pangs and I eat pretty healthy so I don't feel concerned at all about how many pounds I'm gaining, I've already gained 12 lbs. I do crave sugary things a lot so I'm just trying to watch my sugar intake, so I try to eat a lot of fruit instead. I feel it's natural and healthy to have more fat reserves to provide energy for the body to do all this extra work, as long as you feel good! :)
 
I've not felt anything yet, with DS1 I felt him at around 15 weeks with DS2 I felt him at 17 weeks.
finally started to gain weight after losing 8lbs. midwife I saw yesterday wasn't too happy as i'm quite slim anyway. Also saw a consultant yesterday as i'm high risk as is baby. He was much better then all the others I've seen in past pregnancies. He actually spoke to me like he actually wanted to help me and give information and support not like the others where its been like i'm wasting their time. He asked if I really wanted a vaginal birth which I said no to as both my boys where section babies and he was happy with that and went on to say if I wanted it then it would mean having to be kept a very close eye.
I have to have 3 growth scans, 28 32 and 36 weeks, he said at the moment he's going to plan the section for 39 weeks but won't do that till my 20 week scan he says it may change depending on how baby grows and how my growth scans go.
 
Great that they are keeping a close eye on you & baby littlesteph

ONE week until my 20 week scan getting so nervous now :wacko:
 
Gender scan in an hour. Hope I can keep it together and not peek until Saturday.
 
Is anyone else exhausted still? I feel like I'm completely worn out? People keep telling me to relax more. Thing is I have a full time job, a toddler and a house to manage. My husband has chrons and doesn't have much energy. My dad is disabled and has recently been diagnosed with cancer. My mum tries to help but its only limited help and is unlikely to be more than a couple of hours watching Daniel with me. This with all the stress of high risk pregnancy is exhausting me. Then yesterday nursery tell me Daniel has been hitting the other children this week and they're worried as this is out of character. He's very active and chatty at home but not violent beyond the odd tantrum when he sometimes throws things. So now I'm worried about him. Not sure what the point of this is, just need to rant.
 
:hugs: Mrs Bump

I am exhausted also and was hoping for this supposed 2nd tri energy but I don't think I am going to get it :nope: I am in a similar situation working full time, just finished studying & sitting and exam, toddler, 2 dogs = knackered me!
Elliot is going through a phase also of waking up at 5am :sleep:
 
I'm still exhausted too! And my LO has woken up loads the past few nights. This morning was a 5.30am wake up with a wet bed :dohh:
 
mrs_bump that is a lot you are dealing with and sounds stressful. Try to take short cuts...the house work can wait, cooking can wait, order take out, make easy meals, laundry can wait. Just take it easy till you feel up to it!:hugs:

I have my days were I'm exhausted than others where I'm filled with energy. I also have a toddler (20 month old), full time job, house hold, and DH works a very demanding high level job in which he isn't home often to help out. On days I'm exhausted I cut corners... the dishes sit in the sink, we order take out or have microwaveable food, and I go to bed after DS does.
Cut yourself some slack and try to just worry about you and your babies for now everything else can wait. :hugs:

And i know it sounds crazy and you think if i'm tired that is the last thing i want to do but exercise can help. Even just a short walk around the block may make you feel a little more energized.
 
Scan went great!!! Baby is doing well. I was able to hold it together and not peek. Dropping scans off with the bakery now. So ready for Saturday!!!!
 
Sunny-Awesome job not peeking!! I can't wait to hear what you are having!!

AFM- I am so tired too!! I will be 18 weeks Saturday and I am exhausted! I wasn't this tired with my first at all! I think with work, and chasing my 14 month old and taking care of my husband and house it's just alot...most days I can't even do dinner and I hate ordering food or doing frozen things but hey we will live lol!
 
I'm exhausted as well. To the point where I feel like I must be growing five or six babies in there that the doctor forgot to tell me about or something. :rofl: I'm sure its just the extra strain of being pregnant on top of having a life and caring for 2 kids, but MAN! The interrupted sleep at night is certainly not helping lol!

Sunny, I'm impressed you didn't peak!! :haha: I'm going to ask for them to check gender first! :rofl: (OK, maybe not, but I'm getting SUPER impatient!) Only a week left to go for me :happydance:
