August 2016 watermelons!

[1nceUponATime]

My 20 week appt is the 29th! I hope mine is still a girl lol I'm kind of nervous about that haha

 

[tymeg]

The specialist said there was no need for me to have the 20 week appointment because I basically had the 20 week scan at 18 weeks, when they did the Genesis test etc.

I go for a check up again on the 5th April, 23 weeks.

My gynae said I am picking up weight fast I picked up 6kgs,

He says I need to stop having breakfast and fizzy drinks and juice all together and no dairy..... Argh....

 

[fairycat]

Stop having breakfast?? I would get a new doctor if one told me to stop eating breakfast, that's the most important meal of the day!

I'm worried we'll see a penis on our girl too at our scan. I opted to do my scan at 21 weeks so we can get the next doc appt in with it. I think it has something to do with insurance. I'm nervous, because the tech is doing the ultrasound and I don't like her. When the doc does it, he points out all the parts and explains things - this lady doesn't say a word and is done in less than 5 mins. I hope it's different this time with an actual baby.

Yikes Tymeg I agree with fairy I definitely wouldn't give up breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day! And cutting out any food group such as dairy sounds odd as well, I'd just cut back on fizzy drinks, sugar and fatty foods if you can. I've put on quite a bit too, I'm trying to be good but I'm not stressing about it.

Can't believe how close all of our 20 week scans are! Time if flying by!!

 

[fairycat]

Time is totally flying by!! I can't believe we only have like 5.5 months left!

 

[Tanikins]

August doeant seem that far away now

 

[lilmisscaviar]

I don't know how you COULD skip breakfast. I get so sick when I don't eat that very important meal of the day.

Lol to all who want to make sure their girls are really "girls"... I feel the same way. I hope when I get my next scan, she'll still be a "she" because we already have her named, though my private scan WAS early and the tech didn't sound 100% sure. If there is a penis at my next scan, I'm going to be pretty upset lol

Time sure is flying! I can't believe were already halfway through March and most of us are getting so close to the halfway point in our pregnancies. Crazy!

 

[1nceUponATime]

I know, time is really flying by now. My husband has gone fix up the house crazy.... I think he is nesting lol ... But I like his motivation. I am getting excited to fix up and decorate the nursery.

 

[1nceUponATime]

Oh and I still have no bump lol ... Although sometimes I look chubby now.

 

[tymeg]

Yeah, Im not taking no note of him.

Just cutting out the fizzy drinks, and eating more healthy or at least trying to....ITS VERY HARD!!!! when all I want is sweets.

I cant believe how quick the time is going, baby will be here by the 22nd July if all goes well. Because I had a ceasar with Teagan, they want me to have one again at 38 weeks.

But with Teagan my placenta calcified, and now they are monitoring me for that to make sure that does not happen, so I might even have him earlier.

I have been feeling so huge, I have a big bump, and my boobs have already started leaking.

 

[fairycat]

Good for you tymeg! My stomach is huge too I get white stuff after I shower and have to scrape it off. It's so weird.

This month is odd for me.. I would've had a baby this month. So crazy to think about. I'm glad we have until August to get ready, because we wouldn't have been. Blessings in disguise, I guess.

 

[tymeg]

Yip the minute I take my bra off and my boobs hang loose, my top of pj's are wet.

 

[Mrs W 11]

1nce lucky you, I wish my dh was nesting haha! We bought a house last summer and have loads we would like to do but never seem to have time. Your bump will soon pop!

I'm huge this time, definitely got an obvious bump now.

Is everyone feeling movement now? I've felt the odd poke and wriggle but nothing regular or strong. I know I was feeling my dd by now so I'm getting s bit anxious although I know it varies. I've no idea where my placenta is.

 

[babydust818]

If I push on my boobs I have a little liquid come out. It's not all the time either. I remember my last pregnancy I had white flaky stuff. I'm sure It was the liquid dried up. When I had my son breastfeeding didn't work out. It was a mixture of all sorts of things. I felt like I wasn't producing enough, I didn't know exactly what I was doing, my patience was short and my nipples wouldn't stay hard. I hope breastfeeding comes really easy this time. I formula fed my son from 6 weeks on and he's just fine. Either way will be ok, but I would like to use my boobies. Can't believe i'm 20 weeks already. Thursday is my scan and gender reveal. This whole time I've been convinced it's another boy. So we'll see. I don't have a bump, but I do have a bump of fat that I already had

I'm not feeling anything really. Once in awhile i'll feel a wiggle, but that's it. With my son I didn't really start feeling things until 23-24 weeks. I can't wait to feel it consistently though!

 

[Tanikins]

Im feeling lots of movement. Can feel him on the outside aswell if he kicks hard. I love it

 

[1nceUponATime]

I'm not really feeling anything yet. There's times when I think I feel her after I eat, but I really can't prove its not gas bubbles lol it's definitely not obvious if it is her.

 

[lilmisscaviar]

Tymeg - I'm huge too. By comparison, I'm as big now at 17 weeks as I was at 25 weeks in my last pregnancy.

Babydust - Congrats on making it to 20 weeks! Already at the halfway point!

Mrs. W - I can relate. I was definitely feeling movement with my DS by this time. I don't remember when I felt movement with my DD as it isn't fresh in my memory but I was pretty sure it was about 16 weeks. This time I'm still not feeling definite movement, the occasional odd kick every now and then, but nothing consistent. It is worrying me too.

 

[fairycat]

I am feeling internal movements everyday now. It's been 5 days in a row, super happy! My anterior placenta has moved up with my uterus as it grows, so I'm able to feel her right below it. That's where I'm feeling most of my movements now - which would make sense why I couldn't feel her most days before with the darn placenta in the way. She had hiccups yesterday, that was the weirdest feeling, but so awesome! It's starting to frustrate me that I still can't feel anything with my hands.

It's strange to feel movement, because you're picking up on your baby's schedule. Lexie's schedule has been way off today, it's really weird. lol

Hi I'm breastfeeding so definitely milk there. I haven't felt movement with this one but i had an anterior placenta with my first and didn't really feel her till 24 weeks so I'm assuming it might be the same. I keep having one or two days of high energy nesting behaviour where I can't sit down and get loads done followed by a day where I crash and literally can't leave the sofa. Currently sorting my old baby clothes though it seems to mutate when I'm not looking.
