Happy v day Powell and Jary!

I'm with you on the annoying pains Jary, my hips are the hips of an elderly lady today lol.
Also woke at 5 and couldn't get back to sleep grrrr.

 

[Jary]

Hehe I feel elderly too...couldn't stand straight because of the pain so I probably looked like an old hag!

Baby is defo more active now! Anyone else finding this?

 

[BellaRosa8302]

Jary - the day I turned 24 weeks I def noticed a pick up in activity! Baby is constantly on the move!

AFM 25 weeks today! Yay 15 weeks to go!!!

 

[Hann12]

I noticed a big increase in rolling/moving around 24 weeks too, more than kicks which I have lots of, but actually movements so I can actually feel the baby and its head and bum for example.

 

[Jary]

I've been hoping to feel limbs but haven't so far but I don't want to palpate too hard. I've been trying to do it how the community midwife taught me while I was a student nurse. I think I felt something pointy/boney like an elbow but it had moved when I tried again lol. But last night I knew I could feel feet kicking on one side and pressure from the head on the other. So sweet to get more definition that there's a little person in there don't care about the pain and discomfort I've had so far because little Wriggles makes it all worth it (let's hope I still think that when I'm in labour hehe)

Hard to believe that not all that long ago we were all hoping we would be getting that BFP and now we all have wriggly bumps!

Yeah in the last maybe 3 days, baby has been SO active. I mean when he's active, I feel about 45 movements per minute! It's so crazy, I can't imagine what I'll be feeling once he's bigger I love it! My hand is on my tummy almost everytime I sit down because as soon as I'm still for about 2 minutes, he's bouncing around in there And I can definitely feel body parts. I haven't quite been able to tell the difference between a head and a bum but it's definitely one or the other lol and sometimes I feel feet or hands. It's so cool!! Makes me fall more in love with my little guy each time he makes his presence known

 

[Jary]

Awww it's like an overload of cuteness before they are even born! Wriggles felt like they were doing a tap dance when I was on my side in bed and I'm surprised OH couldn't feel it lol....think he/she did a somersault which I still find is a weird sensation.

Finally finally got some good kicks recorded

Love your avatar pic Powell! Reminds me of my friend who is now 35 weeks preggo and just had a bump photo shoot and one of her pics says 'made with true love and a sprinkle of naughtiness' love it!

Congrats on your V-day Powell! How exciting. I am so jealous of all the movements! I'm a month behind most of you and have an anterior placenta, so I've only felt light sporadic movements and flutters. Hoping to feel real kicks any day now. I know she's moving quite a bit because if I put my doppler on my belly, I can hear her squirrelling around in there and can only get the hb for a second now before she moves. Having my 20 week scan today and can't wait to see her again!

 

[Powell130]

Crazy thing... I also have an anterior placenta, found out on my 20 week ultrasound.. We've been able to see him move since 18 weeks && it's gotten so strong lately! I had no idea I even had an anterior, nor did I expect it cuz of all the movement lol

I love that quote your friend used Jary, I just may have to copy

Thanx ladies! V day is a great feeling

 

[Jary]

Shellgirl I was getting all worried about not feeling kicks but on the day of 20 week scan I felt loads! I guess it was due to my anterior placenta. Good luck with your scan!!!

I do love that line, Powell

 

[Powell130]

Happy VDay to us

 

[Jary]

Lovely lovely bump!

 

[shellgirl]

Had our anatomy scan today and all looks well with baby girl! Here's Ms. Eleanor Joy. So in love with her!!!

 

[Powell130]

Beautiful!!

 

[Powell130]

A friend of mine && I

 

[Sass827]

Congrats shell!

 

[Jary]

Aww shell she looks so sweet! Congrats!

AFM; aside from my leg still aching from cramp, I got out of bed this morning with no pain in my hips! Yay!

 

[Powell130]

yay for no pain in the hips!! I'm so glad, that must be terrible!

my back still hurts some, but not as bad. But still not quite easily bearable! This sux :/

 

[Jary]

I'm glad it's gone too! But achey at times but I'm no longer afraid to move. It was painful overnight but I made sure that wherever I lay I had my body pillow in between my legs and kept my legs parallel to each other so I think that helped.

Powell I hope your backache gets better but unfortunately for us our little ones are going to get heavier and make us walk like ducks lol. The joys of pregnancy! I started getting intense lower back pain last night on the way back from picking up OHs new car. I don't think my body liked me driving! I got worried but after walking about for a bit it went away and nothing since so thank gods for that! I knew baby was ok as they were doing their usual kick about. I know we can expect backache but since it was sudden I was hoping it would just go away...don't fancy a trip to the hospital just yet!

 

[Hann12]

Yep the back pain and hip pain is only going to get worse lol!! Yay

Congratulations shell girl and love the name!

My hospital finally sent out my notes and they are wrong - LMP is wrong, EDD is wrong and my doctors surgery is wrong!! Seriously annoying as I now have to chase them again to get it sorted and they never respond to emails or pick up the phone. Just drives me mad and its not my fault it's their rubbish admin!!
