Luscious bump Nitengale! Looks absolutely wonderful hun :)

Ladies I'm off on my hols for a week so won't be back here for a little while. Hope things goes well for you over the next few days and I'll look forward to catching up when I get back xxx
 
How is everyone doing?

I have a 3 cm stretch mark under my belly :P I don't want to complain about ANYTHING because I'm so grateful I'm pregnant, but I find it a bit harder to be grateful about stretch marks!! I can live with this one but I hope I won't get too many... it's already getting bigger and bigger everyday.

I've been moisturizing a lot, and putting cocoa butter on my belly pretty much every night, but I guess there's only so much moisturizing can do.
 
Hi Greenouille, I know what you mean about being so grateful and not wanting to moan BUT Im the same worrying about getting stretch marks. Ive been rubbing bio-oil every night and fingers crossed Ive not got any so far but Im expecting to get them! My stomachs really big and stretched now, it feels quite tight at times and rock solid.
 
Oh yes the joys of stretch marks :nope:

I got a few with my DD but I didn't see them until after I had her. And after a while they were barely visible. Hoping I can use those same stretch marks this time and not acquire new ones. :haha:

Tomorrow we leave on a 2 week RV trip to Canada to see DH's family. She would interesting. I will try and jump on when I can to see how you ladies are doing. Hope all is well.

Yes I had been hoping the same with my second, but I guess I carried differently as I went almost until the end without any new ones and then in last week or two got new ones :( This time I feel like I am carrying much higher than the others so I am pretty sure I am doomed to new ones again. At least they fade over time and are eventually not too visible (color-wise at least). I didn't realize that would be the case on the first go-round, and was so horrified thinking I would look like that forever :) It is worth it of course, but I admit I am jealous of those ladies that never get any.
 
It's a really slow day at work, so I finally got around to take some belly shots... ! : )

I use cocoa butter daily hoping I dont get any.. but I know its all a part of pregnancy and Im so happy just to be pregnant :)
beautiful bump grenouille :)

hope everyone is feeling well !

Kate i forgot when did they say they would check your placenta again to see if it had moved up?
I went to doctor today everything was right on track lil Ethan is measuring a week ahead
and they said they check my placenta when I was 28 weeks
 
Love, you are right. I'm just so happy to be pregnant, I should just accept that I'm going to get stretch marks... and hopefully they'll fade soon enough.
 
I've come to accept stretch marks are inevitable. To date most of mine are on my boobs!!! Up 3 cup sizes so far! One or two new ones on my upper abdomen this week and they are really itchy.

New movements for me the last couple of days. Instead of the gentle tickly sensations I have had up to now, I am getting these heavy thudding sensations deep inside like the baby is doing somersaults. Very bizarre.

How is everyone else doing with the movements? Have all of you ladies with anterior placentas started feeling anything yet?
 
Have a great trip Nitengale, its sounds like it will be brilliant.

Nice bump pic Greenouille..

Lala, I have an anterior aswell and started feeling movement 22 weeks on the dot. Im loving it now as Im feeling really strong kicks and punches, its very reassuring
 
I have an anterior placenta as well and I'm feeling stronger kicks since around 22 weeks I think. OH even felt it! I think my placenta must be high, because I feel the kicks mostly under my belly.

I've been drinking ice cold water to make it move more and it's working! Although he/she then takes their revenge and kick me in the bladder! I already have a small bladder, and now I feel like I ALWAYS have to go! :dohh:
 
I'm a couple days away from the viability mark! So excited! Its one of those milestones that seemed so far away.
 
Great news MommaDucky. Next milestone is 3rd trimester!! I still have 8 days to v day.
 
Little man gets super active with cold water too! lol.

I'm looking forward to being in the homeward stretch. When does that begin 27wks? I have read anywhere from 26-29wks. I wish they just had a specific thing.
 
Love - I have my next scan in 6 weeks at 32 weeks, fingers crossed it's moved out the way as really want a natural
birth!

Lovely bump pic Grenouille :)
Have a great trip Nitengale :)

I've been using Bio-oil as well so hopefully it will keep me stretch mark free but we shall see! Am really starting to feel big now, sleeping I'd becoming uncomfortable, might have to invest in a pregnancy pillow, anyone have one they can recommend?
 
Hi Kate,
I got a dream genii pillow but so far it has been too warm at night for me to be able to use it regularly as it hugs round your middle, under your bump then goes between your legs. The other think I have noticed with it is that it is very difficult to turn in bed with it as the bit that goes under your waist/bump needs moved to the other side. I suppose all pillows will be a little awkward though. The dream genii was really comfy when I did try it. I hope this helps. L x
