Wow jmandrews, how funny that we both felt movement at 15w6d!

There are so many boys, and I'm almost certain I have a boy too! In fact we are going for our elective gender scan next Saturday, and I've seen so many potty shots that I'm worried I'll look at it while they're doing the scan and I'll know what it is... lol. We are having them not tell us, write it on an envelope and then the next day we're having a party to reveal.

I felt baby fluttering around in there again this morning after I got rudely awakened by a doorbell ring that was unwelcome. It was my cleaning people who I never told to show up at 8 am, and now I sent them home and I'm spending the rest of the day cleaning my house! Woohoo, how fun.

That's so funny! I've been noticing him all day now. He is a super active baby boy!
We had the ultrasound tech write down our DD's gender too and put a pic in a envelope. We just looked away during the potty shot. She warned us first. So exciting can't wait for you to find out!
 
@ Mattsgirl

three weeks?!?!?
you need to call them!
my doctor says to give them a call if they dont contact me within 7 days of her putting in the referral
personally i contact them within 3 week days if i dont hear from them
i have been dealing with kaiser my entire life as my mom has worked there for over 25 years

Girls and Boys are tied! :) can't wait for more gender reveals!
 
hi everyone - i havent been on in forever. Just checking in. working full time with 2 littles has certainly taken its toll on my energy levels. Hope everyone is well <3
 
Hey everyone..

Haven't been on in forever. Hope you're all ok. I'm trying to catch up on all these pages.

Congrats on all the gender reveals. I got so impatient so OH booked me an early gender scan for Tuesday. So excited!!

Again, hope you're all well. I hope to be on more regularly now. Got so many things going on. Can't believe how fast times going :)

Xx
 
The next few weeks are going to be so much fun on here finding out about teams!

19 weeks today for me!!!! Does anyone else feel like they look like crap? No matter what i do i look exhausted (probably because i am) and like absolute crap. My hair is gross...i just can't even remember the last time i looked cute :(
 
I don't feel too bad if I'm wearing nice maternity clothes that fit well and I've washed my hair that day and gotten some sleep. :lol: But yes, in frumpy maternity clothes and lack of sleep, I'm definitely developing an early case of the 'haggard mum look'.
 
I find out the sex of mine on Oct 3rd at 10am est.
 
Anyone experience sharp stitch pain? Like a runners cramp? But on the side of your belly?
 
I find that feels more like a period cramp...this is like a tightness feeling.

My husband keeps joking about my 'mom jeans' surely being in the mail! ;) i am kind of 50/50... sometimes I feel like dressing properly, other days I stay in frump city.

...If you have twins on board, you definitely get extra passes for very acceptable pj/basketball short days!
 
I have achey cramps on and off (more early last week, not much the last couple of days).. but nothing sharp. Does sound like round ligament pain? That is meant to feel sharp if you move suddenly/sneeze etc. My doc seemed to say cramps were fine so long as they come and go, and you have no bleeding. Hope that helps?! I so wish we got more dr appts at this stage. 4 weeks between feels so, so long.
 
I was chatting with my friend and mentioned I was full of peanut butter (celery is just a vehicle for peanut butter, right?) and she mentioned that when she was pregnant with her second son, she was living in the UK, and they were very strict that you weren't allowed to have peanuts or peanut butter. I have never heard that in Australia or in the US though. Have the UK mums here been told that?
 
I have read stuff online either way- some studies say no peanut butter increases likelihood of allergies, some say that a lot does... I guess moderation is the smartest road?!

I have a friend who is a pediatrician- she said that nuts are the only food you can develop an allergy to without first ingesting it (ie. Baby has peanut butter for the first time and instantly reacts... other foods are given without issue but an allergy to ie.onions is building up internally and will come out at some future date in a reaction). For that reason she also said that weaning a baby by adding one food at a time wont help you find allergies- they need an undetermined time to develop. Sorry for the essay- i just find this stuff fascinating, and have thought/read about it some in my travels a nanny and now pregnant lady! I respect that pediatrician friend's opinion, but I guess everyone needs to do their own research when the time to wean comes!

For the peanut butter.. I think nobody really knows for sure! For now, I would think eating it in moderation is the best idea? :)

Oh, and a little research brings up an actual answer: here is an NHS page on food advice for pregnant ladies in the uk- https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/pages/foods-to-avoid-pregnant.aspx

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/pages/foods-to-avoid-pregnant.aspx


Peanuts are safe in pregnancy

Go ahead and*eat peanuts or food containing peanuts (such as peanut butter) during pregnancy, unless you are allergic to them or*a health professional advises you not to.

You may have heard peanuts should be avoided during*pregnancy. This is because the government previously advised women to avoid eating peanuts if there was a history of allergy*(such as*asthma,*eczema,*hay fever*andfood allergy) in their child's immediate family.

This advice has now been changed because the latest research has shown no clear evidence eating peanuts during pregnancy affects the chances of your baby developing a peanut allergy.
 
Can you tell I'm bored? Clearly other people are having more exciting Sundays...
