Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[mackjess]

I'm glad I'm not the only one not feeling movement yet, 19 weeks today. Had a little listen in on the doppler this AM. Dolly, I'm sure my guy is behind the placenta because his HB is ALWAYS in the background of the wooshing placenta. I think one time he was a little over to the right and I could hear him better. Today I found the HB for a few seconds and he ran away. It sounded like he was having a somersault disco party in there today!! LOL, I've never heard him move so much. I put my hands on my belly to try to feel him but still couldn't. Bah! But at least I know he's doing good, listened to him for quite a bit since he was being such a noisy wiggly worm.

Dolly, good news about the pains going away. Hopefully a band will help you out. Snowed in again in KC, got 10 inches already and more coming tonight. It is SO beautiful outside, and I'm so grateful to not have to go anywhere though!

Merri - mine is almost by my belly button, and sometimes about halfway between the belly button and pubic bone. I wonder if that could be while it's taking me longer to feel him?

You will love the doppler. Best money I've ever spent. Makes my heart happy when I get to hear him.

 

[merristems]

Yes best money ive spent too! I thought it would be higher up like your mackjess but was hiding low down, it was deff baby hb though not mine, mine is slow this was quick. Could be that yoyr lo is tucked behind an organ of further back than u can reach! Sneek up on himXx

 

[mackjess]

I think he is def behind the placenta since I always hear him in the background of the wooshing, and at my 12 week scan he was snuggled into it like it was a pillow! My next scan is next Thursday! I'm so excited. I think it might be a higher def like a 4D since I'm going to a specialist to get it done. It's nice to be on the cusp of "higher risk" sometimes since I'm 35.

 

[merristems]

Thats great your scan is soon, i only get one more freebe at 20wks so 4 weeks to go now. Those high deffinition scans are mental! Dh thinks they are scary!!

 

[mackjess]

I get a scan at 20 weeks and one more towards the end @ 32 weeks at the specialist. My tests for chromosomal disorders were negative, but they said they also like to check visually so I know one of the scans is 4D. Just not sure if it's this one or the next one. They told me but it was right before they were doing the NT scan so I was too nervous to remember!!

Both DH and I think U/S pics and 4D pics are a little creepy. I've shown them to the mother in law and my sister, and posted them on here, but never on FB or shown a lot of people! Haha. I love the live u/s though, I wish I could get a video.

If baby is behind the placenta it will take longer to feel baby.

I've only just started feeling my little man without a doubt these past few days and I have an anterior placenta.

I didn't have that with my girls so it was worrying that I wasn't properly feeling bubs yet!

xx

 

[mackjess]

Yay! I'm glad you are feeling him now BD!

I'm a complete mess. LOL, Zulily email came in and there was stuff just way too cute to pass up. I want one pic of little man in a very babyish outfit that you can only get away with when they are tiny.

I had trouble deciding. I have free shipping until midnight tonight and may add to my order. I got this in 12 months. Usually breastfed fat babies are quite a bit ahead in size so I may be able to use this as a picture outfit as early as next spring!

 

[BeautifulD]

Ahhh that's cute!

 

[mackjess]

I've held off on buying any clothes so far, even though it's been really tough. I bought a matching Star Trek onesie and adult t-shirt for my DH on Valentine's day, but I don't think that counts. I know if I was having a girl I'd be going NUTS on clothes right now. But I have a lot of friends with boys and will be getting hand me downs, and I'm hoping to hold off til after the baby shower before I go buy stuff. It's hard not to though!!!

 

[wantingagirl]

awh they are cute hun! I was going to say too if you have an anterior placenta like I had with Olivia was 23+ before I started feeling anything and didnt hear anything on doppler til about 14-15 weeks oh how I panicked. With this one its posterior and felt flutters 13-14 weeks proper movements last week or two just one ripple from the outside so far.

Sorry taken so long to update on here, feeling crappy all the time. Last scan was last monday and we are having a girl!

Congrats wanting a girl, think the number of girls and boys now seems to be the same, I cant wait to meet my little girl and am trying to hold out buying loads but have purchased a few baby girl bits as they are soo cute. I am having to go back to the GP on friday for further tests, I have had blood in my urine since January but the tests from the hospital are coming back no infection, but had my urine checked again yesterday and still blood, now they may start doing internals, I have to say nobody has been down there for 19 weeks and dont really want them down there now. They are saying it could be a bleed inside me, the blood is only seen on the test strips, I have seen no blood thank god, I dont think I can handle that again. I am drinking about two litres of water a day, cranberry juice and lemon barley, but it hasnt made a difference. I still havent felt her but I can hear her on the doppler, I just want to feel something for reasurrance

All the pinks seem grouped together. I know bethneebabe had a gender scan so we'll see if we're adding another pink or blue soon

 

[flapjack10]

Congrats WAG! xxx

Loving the front page GIY! xxx

 

[girlinyork]

Thanks thought I'd jazz it up and keep a running total of what flavour babies we're having

 

[merristems]

ooh cute front page- im actually 16wks today though!

 

[girlinyork]

Ah, lol. What's your updated EDD?

 

[merristems]

14th August-( I know im not a july lady but lil one could be two weeks early!!)

 

[amjon]

I saw the regular OB today. She did the quick, yes they are alive, U/S. She also measured me today. I was measuring 28 weeks, so my uterus is now officially the biggest it's ever been (delivered my daughter at just over 27 weeks). I guess that's why the stretching pains are now starting to get worse.

 

[bethneebabe]

Hey ladies! I had my scan earlier in the week. Little one is perfect but my doctor is worried about my cervix. Currently at the doctors office waiting to hear what he says. I'm almost 21 weeks and so scared of an incompetent cervix. I have no risk factors for it and I am completely shocked and sad. Just praying that little one hangings in there for at least another two months.
