Babies due in JUNE!

Ellie bellie your not wrong about maternity suits being expensive!
 
So how much movement is everyone feeling at this stage?
A few weeks ago, I thought i was feeling flutters, but mainly only when i was sitting a certain way. Lately, i havent felt much (and dont sit that way anymore because its uncomfortable) and am just curious. I know we are all different and comparing notes isnt always a good thing, but..... I'm curious!
I feel as if I should be feeling more at this stage of the game. Or maybe I have too much belly fat. In any case, I am glad that i have my doppler.
 
I had movement a week or so ago (tapping which I presume was kicks) and feel stuff on and off but Im never sure if its baby or wind. Baby is now upside down so Im not sure if thats why Im not feeling anything much ATM. It was wriggling about like crazy at my scan but I didnt feel any of it so not quite sure whats going on. Midwife said I might not feel anything till 21/22 weeks. Im 21 weeks now so this baby better hurry up and kick me again!!
 
my thoughts, exactly!

Tomorrow is my anatomy scan. We shall see!

No one wants to join our Facebook page? I know not everyone uses facebook, but certain things can be posted tere, that the entire world doesn't get to see. With bnb, all I have to do is a google search and so much comes up.
 
I am Lizzie Biffle on fb.
I have an anterior placenta, and I have been feeling the baby deep in my body, kicking my insides or my bladder. Actually, it feels more like thumps. My dr said her head was to the side of my bello button and her legs were near my pelvis.
 
Just got home from the 19-week anatomy scan and ... It's a GIRL!

Yeah, we're both a little thrown by this but definitely excited and thrilled. There was no gender preference, just expecting a boy based on DH's family history. But if anyone was to break the family pattern it'd be him!

Everything else with the scan went well - measurements, weight (10oz), etc. It looks like she'll have curved pinkies like DH, which I've got to confess I think are rather cute. I was amazed by the increase in detail compared to the 12-week scan, not to mention all the movement and wiggling that's going on. I get small flutters every now and then but no definitive kicks/nudges yet.

I just asked to join the FB group - yay!
 
Are any of you thinking about going for a 3D scan? No offense, but they kind of creep me out, but I am also slightly interested....

I wish peanut would start moving around some. Its great how the 2nd tri is so low maintenance, but at the same time, I'd like some more action, other than constantly needing the bathroom!!

My level 2 ultrasound, scheduled for Thursday the 26th, will probably include some 3ds and 4ds. I think I will be interested in trying to make out some features.
 
Oh and on the issue skin! I am having the exact opposite problem...so dry. Everywhere. I've also developed terrible itchy ezcema. Driving me crazy. I have been using pine tar soap (smells terrible), cetaphil and a steroid cream prescribed by my dermatologist when I really can't stand it anymore. My face is so dry I had to actually use real moisturizer today, which I usually don't do because I have a lot of natural oil.
 
Welcome to the Pink team, Ellie!

Lilmama, I have the driest/dryest (brainfreeze and too lazy to figure it out) legs, but horrible facial skin. ugh!
 
Congrats on team pink, Ellie!!
This should be a big week with most of us finding out which baby we get to greet in 4-5 months time.

Lilmama'- you'll find out sex, right? And as far as features, it's so crazy how they change (as you know). I have pictures from week to week, day to day of my DD, and her face when through so many iterations- she was definitely nothing like she looked on the day of her birth. LOL. So, take notes, because who comes out may be completely different. :haha:

AFM, :blush: I've had this crazy eczema/dermatitis going on on my arms...and I haven't had issues for YEARS. My face has been spared, but I'm making sure to stay on a good moisturizing protocol.

I think have a good deep-cleansing routine should help those acne-prone (had that in first tri) because it'll help clear it up some, even if not all the way.

I'm DEF feeling my LO do loops inside. It's pretty funny to see my belly button suck in then push out as they swim or push by. Everytime a dopplar is used, the baby tries to get away!! :haha: And even when I put my hand there...so, this one will be an independent one for sure. Unlike my DD who was a real cling-on. That gets my name ideas going for something that describes a strong/mild-mannered/independent person.

I'm really enjoying the fairly mobile, nausea-free days.
Say, anyone else sharing registries? And (not FB savy at all), but I joined the group. :)
 
Congratulations Ellie on pink team!!
I find out in 8 more days, im sure i'll be pink team also!!
 
Hi Bats-

So you think you'll have 3 girls, eh? I was one of 4 girls, 2 boys...sure makes clothes shopping easier as a Mom. How many years apart are your other 2 kiddies?
 
Oh, and for movement (does anyone else feel like she has ADD these days), I think I have been feeling more flutters each day. I also know there's movement because when I use the fetal monitor, I can only find the hb for a few seconds before it's moved and gone.
 
I have the same issue with the fetal monitor, but i dont know if i am feeling a lot of movement. Sorry to mention, but i am so gassy, so i keep thinking its gas.
