Yeah it took a second to see as was a boy to be fair. I just can't quite believe it
I was feeling kicks low down but now they are higher up. Think she's turned round a couple of days ago as I also seem to of developed the pregnant lady walk, which probably indicates head in pelvis.

Ahh my little madam is breach but it is okay she still has time to move! I had a posterior placenta last time so this anterior placenta is new to me

 

[Smile181c]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one waddling! Thought it was way too soon for the pregnancy walk but I'm so big I can't help it! lol

From my ultrasound tech and doctor and research I've done the 3 lines is what a labia looks like on an us. So it's definitely a girl. I'm sure something crazy has happened before where it changed to a boy somehow, maybe they THOUGHT they saw the lines, but we're mistaken, who knows. But the odds of that happening after clearly seeing the lines is EXTREMELY low.

I was really worried with DD1 cuz the tech SAID she saw the lines, but she didn't show us, the pic we were given of her bottom just didn't have a penis. So I was super nervous for my anatomy scan. This time she gave us a pic of the 3 lines and found them like 4 times during the scan.

But a little part of me will be nervous till I hear it again at 20 weeks. I guess I feel too lucky that I got EXACTLY what I wanted. Always wanted 2 girls and now I will have that!

Twag, my baby is breech right now too and I feel very little movement at the top of my bump. I get the occasional thump on top, but I think that must only happen when she's jumping up and down. Most movement right now is down low. Funny - as for quite a while I was only feeling movement at the top, so I guess at some point in the last couple of weeks she flipped. I have no idea where my placenta is though, I was far too engrossed in checking off healthy body parts to remember to ask!!

I have decent reason to be concerned that she will become a he at my next scan, but I've just always known this baby would be a girl, and I've had strong girl vibes since about a week after my BFP. I guess we'll get a second look in 7 weeks, but we'll know for sure around Halloween.

 

[Twag]

aley I only noted the placenta after the scan as it is in my notes also too engrossed in body parts

Hi ladies I haven't been on here for awhile. I usually am just on the facebook group. Anyways, a lot of you have been talking about three lines on a girl ultrasound. I have never seen a girl ultrasound as I have 3 boys but this time I am having a girl. I still don't see 3 lines on my ultrasound.....I see 2? Am I missing something?

 

[cmdc5]

I hope you all are feeling better since we are all in second trimester! I still have not gotten that burst of energy they say you get! I guess I just need to get use to feeling like a zombie

 

[aley28]

cmdc5, I just see 2 lines on your picture as well, but that may just mean that they took a picture of the 2 lines yet were able to see 3 during the scan?

I haven't gotten any sort of rush of energy either. I'm flippin' pooped half the time anymore. I think in large part because I don't get very good sleep, as my pelvis is so sore. I hope I get some sort of nesting energy or SOMETHING though, because its going to be hard to do all the preparations I need to do for this babe if I am in zombie mode for the next 20 weeks!

I'm spending my afternoon browsing baby names Does anybody have a favorite name website?? I'm just using nymbler.com right now, but curious if there are other good ones! I'm mostly compiling a girl's name list - but I've picked out a handful of boy names too... just in case. It takes DH and I forever to settle on a name that we both like, as we both refuse to compromise... so I want to be prepared.

 

[naturluvr]

Hi guys can I join this group? The other due in November group is rarely active and I am a chatter when I get going If that's okay, I'm due a little blue bundle November 9th.x

 

[cmdc5]

Ok looking closer at the ultrasound I see the two lines on the sides of the legs and in between I think I see the smaller 3 lines. Haha I don't know. She did tell me 100% a girl

 

[DHBH0930]

Cmdc5: definitely looks like a girl ulira sound to me that one in the middle might just be a wider line that the scan didn't pick up the whole thing.

Aley: good luck with names! We had a list for DD1 of about 5 names, I liked then all so DH picked one out (Kayla Joy) shortly after having her I secretly picked out Ellie Rose if we had a 2nd girl, so right before the gender scan I told DH if boy he can name but if girl I get Ellie Rose and he didn't object

Naturluvr: nope no more room for anymore ladies with boys! Hahaha JK! of course you can join! Congrats on team and welcome!

AFM: I too have still been SO tired. I nap everyday too! Thankfully nausea completely gone, but ready for some more energy again. I feel bad that DD and I just sit around inside all day, I'd love to take her outside to play but I'm just so sleepy

 

[Maries_s]

Hi girls!
Tomorrow is my appointment of my 17w. We are all hoping to get lucky and see what we are having. So crossing fingers! I'm having pain in my coccix in the night and having problem slepping at my sides causes I think all the weigh are in my pelvis and it's so painful I even wake up. Is this normal?

 

[aley28]

Marie_s, I have pains while sleeping too - laying on my back is especially painful, unless I lay perfectly still! You can try putting a pillow between your knees while you sleep - some people say that helps with hip pain? Be sure to ask your doctor about it, they might have some better advice!

 

[Twag]

2nd tri energy what is that??? I am still sicky and knackered! hope I get some more energy soon I want to enjoy the last of the time I have with just my son before baby girl comes along

I am also sleeping badly ladies I find my spd pain is on the left so I end up sleeping on my back or right which then makes my bump ache

Welcome and congrats on team

Hope scan's go well today ladies who are having them

Aley we have our name all sorted (but we had our girls name sorted before TTC )

 

[xCherylx]

20 weeks today Wooohooo! Half way there!

 

[aley28]

Twag, DH and I haven't even bothered to discuss names until now because we figured we'd narrow down half the choices simply by seeing the sex. Then of course she had to be so secretive, so I still feel like we should have a "backup" boys name just in case?! However, it seems middle names might be the problem this time - first names were the issue with Parker

 

[Maries_s]

Thanks ladies!

I will try the pillow and also going to talk to my doctor about it. The pain is awful today I could'nt go back to sleep early in the morning. Maybe it was the anxiety. Also I woke up moody today I'm crying with happy song about babies!

On the other hand, I'm only 3 hours apart from my appointment. I'm very anxious to see if we can find the gender and obviously to know that everything is going well.

 

[littlesteph]

started feeling baby last night so so happy, hubby felt baby too. he had his head on my tummy and then felt a poke in his cheek. not felt baby today yet though.
had physio today, been told to try the pregnancy bands and to start doing exercise on my gym ball, other then what she's already done there is nothing else she can do till baby gets here and we can see then if there is any improvement in my back pain.

 

[aley28]

I hope you feel better (emotionally) after the appointment, Maries!
I've found with the pelvic pain that the more gentle I am with myself, the better off I fare overall. So I sit down when I'm able and try not to ever walk too far at once etc. It seems to help with the nighttime pains. I hope you can figure something that works!
