16 weeks today! Have been starting to feel early movements but nothing consistent. Looking forward to stronger and more frequent kicks!

AFM: I'm starting to feel more obvious movements, not every day but I was 20 weeks before I felt anything last time so its exciting. Having lots of headaches and still waiting for some energy to reappear!

Same here! Very infrequent movement, but it wasn't til 20 weeks with my son so I'm happy!

We had our gender ultrasound today. I won't know what little one is until Saturday at the party though. SIL came with us and she knows, so she will be setting up the party of Saturday. This is my little munchkin. Not sure why it is side ways.

Hi Ladies,

I have a being in Team Yellow question??

this I our 2nd (& possibly last) and because we did find out with our first, I don't want to this time, I'd like surprise - however my OH is really bugging me to find out at our 20wk 2nd dec - I don't want to force him to be team yellow but at the same time I really don't want to know!? what do I do??? xx

^ same boat, i have decided to find out as my husband REALLY wants to know, and i only quite like the idea of staying in the dark, and there's no way he would keep his mouth shut I get to do all the other pg stuff so i will let him make this decision if it's that important to him and will help him connect with the baby.

Beautiful scan, momofone! I can't wait to hear if it's blue or pink.

DSM, that's a tough one! Do you think your DH could keep that secret? Mine sure couldn't! He'd tease me with it until he accidentally let it slip. It's easier for me, because going team yellow this time was DH's idea. I don't know if (for us) it would work if we weren't on the same page! If it would for you, though, go for it! It could be exciting.

Well had my scan yesterday and all went well, saw little bubs wriggling away. I was ready to burst by the time they had finished. Dont know why I had to drink so much water, im usually lucky if i can have one glass without it going straight through me haha

They have moved me forward a few days so my new date is 14th April

So what do we think is it a boy or girl? I'd be happy with another girl but OH would like a boy. He thinks he can talk me round to find out at the next scan but I love finding out straight after giving birth lol

We must live close cos my scan was at Basildon too

I haven't posted because I've been feeling very rough so in between work and sleep hasn't left much time for anything else but here is bubs at my 12 week scan where they measured spot on what we thought 12+5

I'm SO SO happy for you!!! I know you have been even more stressed than the rest of us after a horrible ER appt where they wouldn't confirm if your LO was okay or not. so wonderful to here that s/he is doin well!

Hi ladies! How is everyone doing?

 

[Amcolecchi]

Hey Momofone where are you getting a private gender scan? I would love to get one next week sometime but I cannot find one in my area of NE Ohio at all!!!

Hi ladies! How is everyone doing?

 

[momofone08]

I'm in Colorado. I just looked up 3d/4d places in denver and looked if they did early gender determination. Are you close to Willoughby at all?

this one is in Springboro

and this is Westerville
https://www.firstexpressions4d.com/facility.asp

That's all I could find. Hopefully one of those are close to you.

 

[Amcolecchi]

Momo-thank you!!! Unfortunately the only one close is the Willoughby (saw this one the other day) one and my hubby thinks it's too expensive!! But thank you so much for the help!! I have to tr to convince him haha

Hi girls!! I see we have some beautiful scan pics!

Well, things have been a bit crazy for me lately. After some spotting, I saw my doctor on Monday. Baby A looked fine , but there is some concern about the placement of Baby B's sac. He is still in the process of "vanishing", and apparently he is above Baby A, putting her at some risk. When I asked if I should be worried, he said no more so than any other pregnant woman, but that I am a very high risk pregnancy. I did not find this news to be very reassuring.

Then, my doctor called yesterday to tell me the results of my MaterniT21 test (genetic blood test) were inconclusive. The blood sample has too much 'stuff' floating around in it, and they can't determine what genetic material belongs to Baby A, and what belongs to Baby B. So, he has referred me out to a high risk specialist to give me my NT scan. They feel the bloodwork that goes along with this scan will also be inconclusive, so we will have to rely only on the scan results. After this scan, the high risk doctor will help us to determine whether or not to have an amnio.

So, I will be having my scan on Tuesday, at exactly 13 weeks. I am looking forward to it, and in my heart I really believe Baby A is going to be fine.

Yeah I live over in Wickford so not far from Basildon.

Caintlenc - Sorry you are having to go through all that I hope the scan all goes well next week.

So exciting to be finding out all the genders now, it feels like I will have to wait forever to find out when I give birth.

Pretty sure I have felt some movement recently. Very light flutterings and only when I am layed still in bed, still so excited. I just love it when you can watch them move - so impatient, Im just wishing all this time away!

Anyone else still feeling pretty rough, I feel sick all day long and doesn't look to be going anytime soon. Have started to take vitamin B6 but doesn't seem to have helped yet

Gender Reveal Today!! So excited.

 

[hope4rainbow]

Gender Reveal Today!! So excited.

Yay!!! Enjoy it!!!

 

[wamommy]

Gender Reveal Today!! So excited.

Ohh, good luck! I can't wait to hear the news.

Caitlen, I'm so sorry this whole thing is causing so much stress and worry. I hope you get some clear answers soon, and that your scan goes well next week.

As for me, I'm exhausted! DS (8 months old) has the mother of all colds, and has been up the last 2 nights straight. Even if I weren't in the middle of pregnancy fatigue I'd be exhausted... but between no sleep, growing a bean, and 3 little ones (plus a teenage step daughter... I won't even get started on that ) I feel ready to drop!

I also still haven't told anyone I'm pregnant yet. I'm too worried about the wide-eyed "ohhhh, so soon! Umm...congrats?" Ugh.
