Due Sept 2017

[Savasanna]

Mine is ONE WEEK from tomorrow!

My bump looks so much smaller today then it did even three days ago... I wish it would stop going back and forth it worries me

 

[Savasanna]

bumps totally do that. Mine changes shape and size all the time. It tends to look more bump-y in the morning and bloated-y in the evenings. It's a little larger on the left side than the right.. It's all over the place! Nothing to worry about.

We find out gender on May 2nd, seems ages away but I have midwife appt in 2 weeks time so it breaks it up a bit.

Congrats KittyKat, beautiful name ❤️

Don't worry rockstar, my 'bump' is the exact same. I had a bump last week and this week it is literally non-existent. Could be that baby has moved towards the back or that when you looked like you had a bigger bump you were a bit bloated or were retaining water. I'm sure our little bubbas are happy as Larry in there x

How long a wait until everyone's 20 week ultrasounds? Mines April 19th. I'll be 20+2. I know this is the one where they look at every part of the baby and I'm really nervous! On the other hand though we've decided on Jaden for our baby boy

 

[Dani_b]

Mine is on 24th April. I will be 19+4

 

[peach81]

Mine is May 16th

 

[AshNAmber]

Mine is April 27th I'll be 19wks on the nose. I'm going for my private scan on the 8th to find out the gender ill be 16 +2!!!

Sorry I've been MIA. working 10hour shifts and then school pretty much knock me out by the end of the day

I hope everyone is doing well.. I'm loving the name's everyone is sharing.

MrsK my BF and I are the same way. My name is Ashley and his is Matthew so we grew up with having multiple people with our same name so we wanted our baby to have something different or at least not heard as often.. We think we finally got it!

 

[Savasanna]

Mine is April 7th! I'll be 18+5

Woohoo - Friday!

 

[MrsKChicago]

I keep forgetting to make my appointment. I'm hoping to schedule it for April 20 so DH can come. He's off work Thursdays.

 

[lilmisscaviar]

Mine hasn't been scheduled yet lol but I did have a private scan done and the tech said she is 95% sure we are having another boy! Of course this won't be fully verified until the anatomy scan which will be sometime after my next appointment on April 10th but I'm sure it won't change. It was pretty obvious compared to my rainbow DD's scan at 14 weeks. I'm hoping to get my anatomy scan by the first week in May though as we are planning a babymoon for mid May.

 

[AshNAmber]

Just a few more days for my private scan.

Now I'm freaking out because I feel a lump on my chest. It's right in between my boobs at the top right above where your cleavage would start. May call my doctor today.

 

[Savasanna]

Ash - always good to check in. Take pregnancy like a free pass to call your doctor about everything!

I'm kind of starting to freak out that I can't feel the baby yet. I feel like I should be able to by now!

 

[gingmg]

Sav- Its still so early for kicks. It's so different for everyone, but it's normal to not feel kicks until 20 weeks, sometimes a bit later. I didn't feel my son until 20 weeks, I felt 'gas bubbles' earlier than that but didn't realize that was him until weeks and weeks after the fact.

 

[Tess08]

How far on are u Sav? I didn't feel my daughter until 23 weeks because I had an anterior placenta which was blocking her movements. I remember being terrified to go for my 20 week scan because I thought they were going to tell me there was nothing in there! But she was perfectly fine I started feeling movements this time last week at 15 and a half weeks but I know things move quicker with the second and hopefully it means my placenta is in the right place this time! I still don't have a bump yet tho and I'm 16 weeks on wed. I didn't get a bump till 20 weeks last time but I had hoped it would appear quicker this time. I feel like I've been in the inbetween just looking like I've put on some weight stage forever lol x

 

[Savasanna]

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it. I'm 18 weeks now and I think I'm starting to get my pre-appointment anxiety. I'm worried we're going to go in for the anatomy scan on Friday and get bad news. I know I have no real reason to think that - but I've actually even decided against inviting my mom along just because I don't want her to be there in the event the baby's not healthy. I feel like if I could just feel her then maybe I wouldn't be so worried.

But yes. I'm only 18 weeks and I've heard that some people don't feel anything until they're closer to 20 (this is my first (viable) pregnancy). I just have to keep breathing and trust that Friday will be good.

 

[ladybrown33]

I am able to feel movement but it isn't regular and that would probably make things worse for you if you felt it one day and then don't feel anything until a few days later. Consistent movement comes around 20 weeks no worries.

My anatomy scan will be next week on the 11th and this will probably be the longest week in my life.

 

[MrsKChicago]

I don't think I felt definite movement until probably 22 weeks with my first. I'm just starting to feel it more definitely this time and I'm 18 weeks tomorrow. There's such a wide range of normal. The position of your placenta and your weight can both make a difference. I understand the nerves, though! Even with no history of losses, it's nerve wracking.

 

[gingmg]

I agree with ladybrown. I can feel proper kicks but then I go days and days without feeling anything so I think that would almost make it worse for some people.

Sav- it's so hard not to worry but I'm sure everything is going to be great on Friday!

I keep forgetting to make an appointment for the scan. Oops!
