So very happy for you BusyBees!!! Congrats on your little girl! Don't be a stranger here!

My ultrasound went well today and her heart is perfectly fine! And she is definitely a girl, she wasn't shy about it this time lol.

Busy bee - congrats on having a girl! I hope you can relax and enjoy pregnancy more now.

Been feeling the little man from the outside this week and friends have but husband hasn't so far. Bump seems to be more active in the morning while he is at work!

Wookie, any update? I hope all is well with you bump

Busy, congrats on the baby girl...she is going to be spoiled rotten being the only girl...which is AWESOME!!

mel28nicole, gald your lil lady is doing well and her heart is doing what its supposed to

ladyluck, that's awesome you are feeling the kicks on the outside. So exciting so your bub already has a pattern when it comes to movement? Mine is still pretty random.

AFM, I had my mid pregnancy u/s which was awesome except I shouldn't have brought my mom & MIL. The acted like lil kids....LLS Although Im team yellow, I really think this bub is a boy. Baby looks JUST LIKE DH on 3d shot. Im convinced this is a boy

Spawn's usually awake at the same times of the day, too. I've gotten to feel the movement from the outside, but hubby hasn't yet- I swear the kid stops moving as soon as hubby's anywhere near. Lol.

 

[mel28nicole]

Little one won't move for ANYONE! My fiancé had his hand on my belly for like a minute but he's too weirded out about it I feel her more at night and of course no one is here at night lol

 

[MrsD140810]

My little one moves about at different times of the day. At the moment I haven't really noticed a pattern, although it does happen more in the evenings or the mornings.
I was feeling kicks from the outside too and luckily hubby was around and he felt it too! It was so nice to share it. I found it really frustrating when baby was moving around and he couldn't experience it. But typically, the second hubby puts his hand on my belly, the moving stops!

 

[MrsD140810]

Oh and also....is anyone having trouble sleeping at night? I keep waking up around 2 o'clock. And it's not because I need to pee! I've got 2 weeks off work now, so I'm wondering if I'm waking up because I'm not so tired. I just lie there for ages not being able to sleep and quite often feeling hungry!

Ladyluck - Oh, I LOVE feeling kicks from the outside. That is my favourite part about pregnancy so far! My baby played shy with my DH too but he has now felt a few kicks.

MRs D - I've been having occasional middle-of-the-night insomnia as well but not as bad as the first trimester. I hope yours goes away soon!

krystina - glad your scan went well but too bad about your mom/mil!

 

[mel28nicole]

I also have been having trouble sleeping, even tho I'm super tired. I think mine is mostly from needing to pee tho. This week I noticed th need to pee more!! But there are some nights I just lay there and I just can't fall asleep.

 

[ladyluck84]

I'm with u ladies about the sleeping. Thinking about buying a pregnancy pillow has anyone got one. And I'm hungry too. My appetite is now back with full force!

Yea I've got a pregnancy pillow. I've used it a couple of times. It's really comfy but the downside is...it's so big! I'm worried I'm going to fall out of the bed with me, hubby and the pillow! Haha. I'm sure I'll get used to it with time though.

I got a body pillow from Target for $9.99 I love it...

Hi ladies,

I've just had my scan. All is happy and healthy! They confirmed it's a girl! No more scans now until I'm 36 weeks! Can't believe how quickly it's all going now!

 

[Literati_Love]

That's great, MrsD! I'm happy for you! May I ask why you get a scan at 36 weeks? Is that normal where you're from?

 

[krystinab]

That's great, MrsD! I'm happy for you! May I ask why you get a scan at 36 weeks? Is that normal where you're from?

I was also told that I get a scan 12 weeks after my anatomy scan...is that not normal? I'm in maryland.

 

[mel28nicole]

I updated the first page. Some ladies have not posted on BnB in a long time, and I took them off the list. I hope their pregnancies are going well.

LeinzLove and Tess.ie are both expecting again! Leinz is due Nov 22 and Tess is due Dec 9th

We have 15 ladies total! Some haven't posted on here but they are active on the site still and their pregnancies are going well! We have 4 Team blue, 6 Team pink, and 2 Team yellow. Please check the page to make sure I have all the due dates correct with the right team!!

It sounds normal to me. Usually doctors like to see the baby's position at that point (making sure they are head down).

 

[shmunster]

I had my scan yesterday it's a healthy little girl! Was so relieved to see her, still nervous but feel better than I did

I don't think I have any more scans, but am thinking of doing a 4d down the track, maybe 30ish weeks just to see her again!

I had a pregnancy pillow with my son and it was great though it was enormous! Thinking about getting another as I gave it away thinking I'd not need it again lol

 

[Literati_Love]

Mel - thank you for updating the list! It feels so exciting to see my due date and team on there! Hehe.

Thanks for the update on everyone as well. I am so excited to hear about Leinz and Tess!

Shmunster - yay, another girl! This is a very girly thread ahah! I am glad you feel a bit less nervous now.

AFM - here we only get a 12-week scan and 20-week scan...definitely not a later one unless we have health problems. That would be nice to have another!
