December Snowflakes 2015! Come join me 74 ladies, 10 angels, two sets of twins!

That's all super exciting news, Beth!

I'm really motivated to keep my weight gain down for this pregnancy. Anything that reduces complications and my risk of c-section is fine by me!

I'm trying to do the same! (though my c-section had nothing to do with my weight) My weight however increased my risk of Gestational Diabetes, which I did get, and it caused DD to be really big (born at 10lbs 1oz) Which is why I was induced to prevent baby from getting any bigger, which, I believe is what ultimately caused the c-section.

Anyway! Good Luck!

I think that is really common, especially nowadays, and is totally what I'm trying to avoid. HOWEVER, c-section or not, if I end up with a healthy baby (even at 10 lbs!) and then I'll be absolutely thrilled!

Hey - unrelated question to you guys. When we talk about team blue or team pink, does that mean people have found out the sex of the baby? Or does that mean that's the sex you're hoping for? I'm 'team yellow' in that I don't have a preference, but we are finding out (if we can) when I'm 19 weeks, in about a month.

Team pink and blue is that you know and team yellow is that you are either choosing not to know or maybe that the baby wasn't cooperative in finding out

Congrats knees for your boy! I loved the pose he gave for the picture!

Congrats dunybaby for your girl!

A positive update from me. I saw the consultant yesterday and they are upping my care this pregnancy. I'm being referred to a specialist then get two more scans before 20 weeks. I then get late scans further on. Swaps done regularly. I really feel like I'll be bringing home a baby this Christmas, instead of grieving for one.

 

[Twinmum87]

That is brilliant news. Must be very reassuring for you to know they are doing everything they can.

I had my 16 week midwife appointment this morning and got to hear the heartbeat for the first time!

She said my uterus was still low. Shouldn't it have moved up by now? She didn't seem concerned so hopefully its nothing to worry about.

 

[mysteriouseye]

Had my first VBA2C consultant appointment today which went very well =) I have a lot of support! Also booked in for 28 week scan & 34 week scan because of what happened last time xx

 

[indhira2]

Morning ladies! Congrats to those that have had scans recently

I have a private ultrasound tomorrow to find out what team we are and I cannot be more nervous!!!! I just keep hoping and praying for a healthy baby.

Headaches have lightened up but now my teeth are a mess. I refuse to believe I have developed 2 cavities in the course of this pregnancy that are killing me! One on each side of my mouth so that about does it -.- Setting dentist appointment for next week.

I think at 16 weeks it is still supposed to be just barely above the public bone? It'll start growing soon. Mine is still really low too, totally norms.

 

[laurac1988]

Mine is really low at 14 weeks too. Can feel that it has moved up, but definitely not by a massive amount

 

[Kallie3000]

It's funny actually - I think my baby bump is smaller today than it was the last few days. Bloated baby bump much? LOL

In other random news, congratulations USA on marriage equality in all fifty states! Love, marriage, and babies for everyone!

The uterus reaches your belly button at 20 weeks

 

[Ameli]

This image might be helpful to see where your uterus should be at different weeks.

 

[Willow82]

Thanks all. I think I was slightly thrown by the fact that she seemed quite surprised that it was still so low!

 

[Pearlie]

I also had my 16 week appt today. My fundal height is 17 and it's just below my belly button. I have a short torso though, it's second pregnancy too & it seems to have popped out above my previous section scar.. Rather than start below it & stretch out the scar if that makes sense. Which makes me think ill carry high again.

 

[Twinmum87]

I am 17 weeks and I can feel my uterus upto my belly button. Last time I streatched out very slowly, especially considering it was twins. Making up for it this time lol.

 

[Nikie]

So..I had private gender scan today and I'm team pink! Very happy!

 

[kneeswrites]

Yay a girl! Congrats, daughter are the best! (Well, I guess I can't say that now that I'm team blue lol) how exciting


Also, it's a good day in the U.S. today! We finally caught up to the rest of humanity <_<
