Hi Love, are you in the UK? if so theres a program on tonight at 9pm about Midwives and delivering babies. Its on BBC2
 
Congrats on the scan Scooby :)

Love - Yep I was diagnosed at my 20 week scan and like you was told it will more than likely move out of the way by birth. I have a rescan at 32 weeks to see the position. Am not too worried about it has have heard it is quite common. Am also not DTD but am still doing light exercise. My midwife seems to think is it ok. When is your next scan?
 
Justkeep Im from the States.. Wish I could catch that program tho seems right up my alley :)

Hi Kate.. I was told at my 20 week scan as well.. Doctor said she would rescan me before 30 weeks ... I actually read its common as well and usually moves up..
funny thing is we are both having boys and I read its common with baby boys.. of course thats just something I read who knows if it is actually true :)
 
Thanks Nitengale !! Awww You have a son named Ethan how precious!! Plus now a lil girl.. so exciting !!! <3 <3 <3
 
I like Maya too :)

Anterior placenta here as well, although it is high up. I feel most kicks down low however they are getting quite strong now. Sometimes I get the odd one next to my belly button!

Me too. I have been feeling many kicks low down and I get the occasional high one. Mostly feel her when I am sitting or laying down.
 
Congrats Scooby!!!

I don't know where my placenta is but I have been feeling movements since between 17-18 weeks so I am guessing it's not anterior. Much stronger this week, going from flutters to bumps and pushes, if that makes sense. Started low but now they are happening around my bellybutton sometimes.

My scan is Monday and I am counting the minutes! Hopefully will find out what team so we can work on the name list...

I've gotten a car seat, pack-n-play with a bassinet attachment, and a diaper bag so far. Still needing a stroller and high chair, but more importantly need to build the nursery! The room we will be using needs a half-wall torn down and new wall built and the carpet replaced, not to mention removing the furniture in there and painting. The more I think about it, the more daunting it seems...baby will room with us for the first couple of months, so hopefully there's plenty of time to get it done.
 
Aww I wouldn't worry crancherry, you have loads done already! I don't even have a spare bedroom yet for our little one as we currently live in a one bedroom place. Like you I am having her in with us for the first few months and hopefully by then we will be moved and sorted.

Lovely few days for me - I saw my belly move for the first time when my little lady kicked! It was amazing!

Also, I have a new bump shot from yesterday's Olympics :)

Aww leliana !! Adorable pic !!
How exciting you saw your belly move:)
I saw mine move Saturday for the first time. I was so amazed I was laying on my back and he kicked so hard .. Best feeling ever!

We haven't done much either to prepare for baby.. Family has got us tons of clothes an my husband and I painted the nursery.. I figured I wait till after my baby shower to actually start buying stuff.
We are definitely gonna buy our baby furniture tho before baby shower probably within the next month :-) I can't wait

Justkeep - Watched this on record last night. Its made me really nervous about the birth now. Wasnt it awful when that poor baby was born with poo all over him and he had to be whisked off to the intensive care unit? It broke my heart, felt so sorry for the poor parents :( Im sure it will all be fine but it makes you think of all the things that can go wrong!

Nice bump pic Leliana!
 
I can't watch any of those programmes. I don't know if it's because I'm in denial or because I'm worried I'm going to jinx something but I always avoid them. I remember everyone was raving about One Born Every Minute and Call the Midwife just after I had my miscarriage. Just watching the advert brought on a lot of tears. I like to think I'll be ready to watch stuff like that in a few weeks, perhaps after the 24 week mark :)
 
I thought Itd be a good idea to watch that program on Tues night to educate myself. Well I ended up worried sick aswell about the things that can go wrong in labour. I've heard of that happening quite commonly where the babies do the toilet in the womb and swallow merconium and its dangerous.
Also that woman that didnt feel movement for over 12 hours and if she didnt go into hospital when she did the baby wouldnt have survived.
It would just be so worrying when you see lots of medical staff coming in and working on the baby to try and get its oxygen levels up and make it cry, you would wonder what was going on.

I dont know if I'll watch that program again in the coming weeks!
 
It's scary when you start thinking about everything that could go wrong. I'd rather not think about it and accept that I have no control over what's going to happen.

One movie I really like and want to watch again is Babies. Has anyone seen it? I might buy it, as I heard babies love to watch it too. I don't think it focuses much on delivery (I don't really remember..) but just cute babies and the cultural differences. There are 4 babies from Japan, Mongolia, Namibia and the US.

Lovely pic Leliana :)
 
Leliana, gorgeous pic! I have been glued to the TV watching gymnastics, swimming, volleyball, etc., not normally into sports but the Olympics is just something so special!

I don't watch those labor & delivery shows anymore myself. You have to remember that in most cases they take the most harrowing scenarios to make into a show because they are the most tense and engaging, like a suspenseful movie. If they showed all of the hundreds of thousands of normal births, no one would bother to tune in anymore. If you do have to watch something, check YouTube - there are a ton of home videos of home births, water births, etc. where everything is normal and realistic :) Of course with any birth there is always pain, waiting, surprises, etc., but not in an, "OMG, what is going to happen now?" impending disaster sort of way.
 
Thanks ladies for your kind words ladies! It's the first bump shot I've seen of myself where I look like I actually have a round proper baby bump :)

Crancherry, I am exactly the same. Not at all sporty but totally addicted to the Olympics. We were at the Tennis at Wimbledon on Monday, it was a brilliant atmosphere. I love gymnastics too!

Re: labour and delivery programmes - I hadn't thought about it in that way before! You are so right, giving birth is special to everyone it happens to but the most engaging television tends to be situations where you're not sure what is going to happen. I'll probably seek out a few things nearer the time to prepare myself but to be honest, I prefer reading real life stories on forums like this one :)
