I've been feeling lots of good solid kicks, but only at night when in bed. If I'm moving around or distracted by anything at all I don't notice them. Love feeling her in there, makes it feel more real and it's so reassuring. Definitely feel her earlier than I did my first. Wasn't till 20 weeks or so that I felt obvious movement. This time was 16 weeks

 

[littlesteph]

I've been feeling more movements today. can't wait for it to be more regular.
went for a bra fitting today as felt my boobs were starting to pop out of my bra to find out my boobs have actually grown. They never did that with the boys. I've gone from a 34B to a 32C.
I've also been getting a lot of sharp pains in one of my boobs is that normal or is it something to be worried about?

That is actually the same size its called "sister size" down in the band up in the cup, it goes the other way too But glad you found something more comfortable! Sharp pains every now and then is normal but if you are getting them a lot then maybe mention it to your Ob or midwife.


Yah for all of you ladies feeling more movements. It really is the best feeling!

really? to be honest it was the first time I had been measured, I just always wore a 34 as could never get a nice 32. always wore it on the tightest setting.

Yes, your cup size is the same, but your band size probably fits much better, which will make your bras more comfortable overall!! Most people wear a smaller band size than they think. (Don't get me started, I'm a bra-fitting nut. I measured myself a couple weeks ago and I'm a 38I now. IMPOSSIBLE to find affordable bras! ON TO SPORTS BRAS FOR ME IT IS!)

AFM!
I had my first physical therapy appointment today, for my pelvic pain. I physically felt better already by the end of the appointment, and I think I'll feel a lot better in a couple of days as long as I do the exercises right! I'm relieved - I've been having discomfort (or even straight up pain) since about 8 or 9 weeks along - so it'll be nice to get ANY sort of relief from this!! I'm going to start highly recommending getting in for physio if it helps

Oh, and movement!! She was breech at my ultrasound on Wednesday, and judging by the movements these days, I think she must still be. I'm not concerned about it, obviously she still has AGES to flip, lol. She's fairly active, just not hugely strong like my boys were. Most movements are definite kicks, but they just feel like stronger flutters Ahh, I love this part though

 

[Smile181c]

I'm feeling definite thuds nowadays, and I can feel them on my hands! the other day she was kicking my belly button and I could see it moving

 

[Mimzy3]

Aley yah! for finally getting some relief Hopefully you will just continue to feel better from doing the exercises.

My little guy was breech too at my US on the 13th. She told me not to be worried but of course I am a little....DS was never breech so I really don't know what to expect with this one. I was feeling most of my kicks very low but now some are higher up near my belly button so maybe he flipped? They are strong enough that DH can feel them too I have another US July 1st so I guess I'll get a look then. I have my first Chiropractor appointment for this pregnancy tonight. I started going again to help with placement of the baby and help with any back pain I may have. I don't really have any yet but I guess its better to be proactive

 

[Melsue129]

YAY!! Congrats on all of the gender scans!! Love reading about them and seeing pics.. We had our anatomy scan last week and everything is going well.. Baby Boy has been confirmed, I have a low lying placenta near the cervix so they want me to go back for another ultrasound i think in 6 weeks.. Baby boy had the hiccups and kept moving so it took a little bit to get all of the photos but here are a few I wanted to share... We even got a thumbs up, not even joking.. hahaha.. This baby has a sense of humor already.. LOL

I loved reading about everyones updates.... I have started seeing the chiropractor last week for back/butt pain.. plus we are packing our house and moving so its been crazy busy and certainly doesnt help my back.. Just knowing it will be all worth it come November! Super excited!!!

 

[Mimzy3]

Melsue Congrats on your healthy baby boy! I also have a low laying placenta

 

[Twag]

Defo a boy congrats

 

[Twag]

Eugh not even 22 weeks yet and I am so uncomfortable come afternoons sitting at my desk at work the next 15+ weeks is going to be torture as I get bigger & more uncomfortable

Sorry a whinge post there! Anyone else suffering already?

 

[aley28]

I'm very uncomfy Twag! I just feel huge and ungainly... keep bumping into things with my bump, and she just feels so heavy sometimes. Sigh. 19 weeks left

AFM;
Another physical therapist appointment this morning! More back stretches. She's happy to hear that the pain moved out of my hips and into my back - she said this is called centralizing the pain, and its a good sign. She also did some tests on my pelvis, seems that my pelvis is a little out of alignment, but its still not necessarily SPD. So she had me do a bunch of exercises and sent me home with 2 exercises to do at home, and I'll go see her again on Monday! The exercises really do make the pain either go away or greatly diminish. PT's are magicians

My appetite has gone from the first half of pregnancy with not really wanting to eat in the mornings as it made me feel ill to HAVING to eat by 10am or I feel like I'm going to vomit!! I don't particularly like eating breakfast, so this is annoying to me. Oh well...

How is everybody managing the summer heat? Its hot and humid here (which is unusual for Wyoming in late June) and I'm not loving it! At least its cooler today... ought to try to get outside and enjoy the overcast sky and lack of sunlight and heat, I guess.

 

[Mimzy3]

Aley by 10am I've already ate breakfast and a snack but that is my norm. I wake up around 6am with DS make him breakfast then eat a little something normally hard eggs and cottage cheese then around 10am I'll eat again banana then eat lunch early at 11am. I guess I just am a big snacker

I went to the chiropractor today and I'm going to keep going once a week to just keep things aligned, so hopefully the baby gets in a good position. She said if by 33 weeks he's still breech then we'll start doing the "Webster's Method"

I love the heat prego or not and here in IL we only see about 3 months of warm weather so I'm embracing it

I feel like I'm more crampy & uncomfortable this pregnancy but maybe I'm just not remembering from the last pregnancy? But either way I'm trying to enjoy this "honeymoon trimester" the best I can before the third trimester hits!

 

[Trying4BbyBoy]

18 weeks still no.movement and less than 3 weeks for anatomy/gender scan

 

[Trying4BbyBoy]

I just absolutely can't wait to be able to hug and hold my new little baby!!! I visited a relative yesterday she'd just given birth to little girl four months ago and she absolutely adorable Embracing her made me feel soo much love and excitement to be having my own baby I feel so blessed

 

[littlesteph]

Baby has been having a right wiggle this evening, in less then a week I've gone from not feeling baby at all to feeling more then just a poke here and there. This evening her movements have been quite sharp. Dunno why I just called baby her we don't find out till the 6th. just have that feeling plus that pretty everyone but 2 people think I am having a girl. hubby and my sister being them 2.

 

[ambernwxo]

Omg I had a lot of reading to do, it's been hard to get on and catch up when we've been so busy lately.. My husband and I went home to see our families for the last time before we have the baby. It's so strange knowing the next time we get to see everyone we'll have a month old baby with us.

I'm 18 weeks now as of tuesday, but I feel HUGE.. We're feeling some movement now, nothing major but I can feel the popping bubbles feeling and hubby actually got to feel something the other night and he teared up, it was so sweet!

We won't find out the gender for another two weeks - I'm getting so anxious!! Our families sent home some baby stuff for us, like a swing, bouncer, and a pack n play and bassinet.. We set it up in the bedroom and I cried lol everything is starting to feel more real than it has and I think it's hitting me hard that this is really happening, now that we actually have baby stuff in the house and I have an obvious baby bump.

Is anyone else feeling that way? Like reality just smacked them in the face but also extremely happy at the same time? I feel like such a mess of emotions, lol.

 

[Twag]

Awwww that is lovely

I have today made some purchases in pink for my little girl and also my mum & sister have got me some bits so exciting I absolutely cannot wait to meet our new addition to our family

 

[Smile181c]

Amber I know exactly what you mean...this is my second but it's only really starting to hit me that we'll be bringing another baby home in a few months! I'm feeling so much movement now and I'm HUGE come the evening I even get a little waddle Hubby and I spent the evening painting a wardrobe for the baby's room and it's just so lovely seeing everything come together!

We've been given so many baby girl clothes already, I can't wait for the room to be set up so I can get it all out and sort it! Eek!

 

[Mimzy3]

Amber that is so sweet I remember feeling those emotions with my first as well. I would just sit in the nursery tear up and think about what it will be like when he arrives.

Now with this being my second I just feel incredibly grateful that I will have two amazing little boys. I look at my son and think how perfect he is and how much I love him and then I think OMG I'm going to have TWO how awesome LOL. I've also been a ball of emotions lately
