Oooh Peanut, you get to see little Zaya again. How exciting. I would love to see our little man again but we don't get any more scans now (unless the consultant will do one later this week, but I doubt it). Enjoy hun

With being a Juvenile Diabetic I have to have growth scans every 2 weeks starting with the one next Tuesday. Then at 30 weeks I will wear a monitor belt and growth scan every week.

I think I saw my tummy move from the outside while laying in bed this weekend but of course it was out of the corner of my eye and of course the little bugger stopped moving when I went to look and touch my belly... Stinking kids! already acting up! hahaha

I am thinking i'm feeling more movement but it's a weird sensation because it doesn't feel like the bubbles from weeks ago. I can't describe it. 4 days till V-day!!! how exciting!

I have been feeling this baby boy move since about 15-16 weeks and I'm quite heavy so I don't think that has anything to do with feeling movement early. He does go in spurts though....very active for a few days, then less active for a few. We are curently on the more active spurt! And they are very tricky with not moving as soon as you try to feel from the outside..mine does the same thing!!

Yeah I am quite heavy too but I think that limits how much I feel from outside. But inside no because everyone is the same thickness from uterus so doesn't matter how fluffy you may be you should feel movement on inside unless the anterior placenta is blocking that.
At my 19 week scan my LO was VERY active but she was facing my back. So i don't think i felt as much because she was kicking and punching my organs not my tummy lol.
Just weird to see your tummy move on it own!! lol

I just learned that I'll have to have routine scans since
I'm gestational diabetic as well, but I wasn't told how routine, so I guess I will have to ask at my biweekly appt. this week! I guess all the extra scans are the upside to all this diabetic stuff

I agree...may limit feeling movement from the outside. Seems like I don't even get a chance to feel it from the outside though since the little bugger stops completely when I try!

I have only had the one opportunity so far but I'm sure my little bugger will do the same! Until there is so little room in their for them to hide! lol

good to hear everyone's experiences with feeling their baby...

my phone app (I know they are just "on average" when they tell you weights, growth, etc) said for week 20 I should be feeling regular movements by now and start to know routine of baby's sleep and wake schedule. All I could think was, dang, I was excited to maybe have some "bubble" feelings ONCE today! haha.

I will know about my placenta as soon as I schedule my scan, which should be set up by Thursday. I thank God for letting me feel anything...I feel like every time I get slightly concerned that I haven't felt movement, I think I end up feeling something later that day and end up being reassured. I am also still growing and gaining weight so that alleviates my cause for concern as well.

Hope everyone is having a great day! This humidity is awful! Even inside of work where it is temperature controlled, all of the countertops are sticky and gross...!

My little man has managed to reposition himself so he is able to kick into my cervix. Naughty boy, lol. It's not painful, but it's definitely not the nicest feeling either. Almost makes it feel as if something wants to fall out when he does it, if that makes sense?

Baby Aidan seems to be kicking my cervix as well, and doing jumping jacks on my bladder!

4 days till V-day!!! how exciting!

Congrats! I have just under 3 weeks until V-day!

It will get better and more consistent, just wait! In another 10 weeks or so you'll be jumping every time he kicks! Abigail would kick SO hard and it would be so uncomfortable!

Afm, I'm doing well. 21+1 today and feeling Aidan move a few times per day. Last night I mentioned to DH that I couldn't remember feeling him all day and he promptly kicked me and then continued to for the next 20 or so minutes. I remember Abigail going quiet for 2-3 day periods and then feeling her harder kicks and gaining more weight so she was likely sleeping through a growth spurt. I don't remember when the next one is coming but I think it's in the next couple weeks?

I'm getting a tad worried about my weight gain. I'm still within the "normal" range so I should just let it go but it's so hard to see the numbers on the scale getting higher and higher. I've always been thin and in shape so I feel massive. I have a feeling I'm going to end up gaining more with Aidan than I did with Abigail. My knees are not going to approve!

Well, that's about it on the pregnancy front. Abigail's birthday is in just a few weeks though so we're getting ready for that! More details in my journal or this update would be far too long!

Me too Mellissa. I am still within "normal," but now I am at the top end of normal and not the bottom or middle... I only gained 20 pounds with Danny, but that is not going to happen this time. My hip is aching from a running injury and it is not going to feel better as I get more and more heavy.

Scan this morning. Baby very very active and healthy! I am totally besotted! placenta is anterior as I thought, but it is over 2cm above the cervix so I am very very happy. We remain team yellow!

I agree I think teamnpink can we yave a poll lol

 

[2nd time]

My lo is going msd jumping around my tummy I will try to video it

 

[babymonkey18]

Mellissa, I am also high "normal". It's okay! We're still hot mamas, and we can totally lose it after baby is here. I know you are a BF warrior lol so that will absolutely help the lbs shed It is kind of hard to see numbers you've never seen before (or in your case, for the second time since you already had Abigail lol) but you'll bounce back, I just know it.

Creative, awesome scan pics, and yay team yellow! stay strong, lol!

2ndtime, I would love to see a video!!!! Please share if you can.
