Team yellow drop out- It's a healthy baby girl!

Scan went well and our little boy is doing great! Only "concern" was my placenta is only 1cm away from my cervix. It was covering it at about 14 weeks so the dr thinks that as I continue to stretch, that it may move a bit more so they arent saying is placenta previa just yet. Ill deliver any way I need to (C-section or vaginally) so long as he is healthy and ok. Anyone else have this happen?

Congrats twinmummy!

Pri, I had the same thing going on and was told that my placenta is in the front of my uterus which causes kicks to sometimes be cushioned. I definitely feel him and was told even though my placenta is in the front, that as the kicks get stronger I will feel them more steadily. Although I feel him a lot but there are more flutters then there are jabs right now.

I'm so happy your scan went well! I too have a low lyingn placenta, mine is about 1.1cm away from my cervix. Dr said 95% of the time they move out of the way.

How funny is that, that we are due date buddy's, having boys and low lying placentas haha

 

[mommylov]

omg that is hilarious and my placenta is about the same space away from my cervix too! lol

I officially hate cats. That is all.

So question...would you ladies consider going to a haunted house...or hayride...as long as you're super careful???

So question...would you ladies consider going to a haunted house...or hayride...as long as you're super careful???

I attended Halloween horror nights and did 6 of the houses. spent about 8 hours on my feet in all through the event too.
I think as long as you aren't the type to get scared really easily, so you're heart rate won't go up a lot in a short amount of time with little break in between, that the haunted house would be fine.

as for the hayride.. I think as long as it isn't super bumpy you'd be ok

 

[mommylov]

Im a big chicken so I wouldnt go to haunted houses, pregnant or not but I dont see any harm.

I officially hate cats. That is all.

I have two but only because of DH (got them when we were dating). Ive always grown up with dogs and prefer them but I like these two.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I was attacked by a kitten in my house today and now my finger is swollen and I can't move it. Tylenol isn't touching the pain, can't take Ibuprofen for the swelling, but on antibiotics as a precaution now. The pain SUCKS. It's worse than labour.

Hi ladies

nice to see all is well and having their anatomy scans done and feeling the baby!!!

I felt some movements, but I havent felt any kicks yet.
Starting my 21 week today
We used the doppler last night and we were able to find the heart bit with no problem, but just getting "curious" to why I dont feel any kicks!

Anyone not feeling much yet?

Pri, I had the same thing going on and was told that my placenta is in the front of my uterus which causes kicks to sometimes be cushioned.

Although I feel him a lot but there are more flutters then there are jabs right now.

I had the same thing with my dd. Didnt feel anything till about 22weeks and never got massive kicks like other people did thru the whole pregnancy. This time my placentas in the normal place and im feeling heaps!!! Kinda not looking forward till hes bigger and giving me massive kicks

 

[dustergrl]

Ugh, Brandi, that sucks! Hope you are better soon!

Here is our announcement that will hopefully get onto facebook later today:

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Quiet day today, ladies

 

[Disneymom1129]

Sorry I don't pop up here much anymore! Can you please add me to team pink

 

[mrswichman]

Tomorrow we finally, hopefully find out the gender...fingers crossed babe cooperates!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

OB appointment this morning. I'll have one more in 3-4 weeks and then I'll start going every two weeks. Crazy how fast this has gone!

Gonna discuss a VBAC with my OB and hope she's still good with me attempting one.

 

[Jaxvipe]

I can't believe how fast everything is going! I have a follow up ultrasound on the 30th to get a better look at baby's heart since he wouldn't cooperate and check on my placenta. Really hoping it has moved some! Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

Brought up to my OB that I'm considering a VBAC and she was all for it. She said I'm an excellent candidate for one because I've had vaginal births before and my son's prolapse is unlikely to happen again.

She said I don't have to decide right now but I should probably decide by Christmas so we can book a csection if I still want to go that route.

Another option she offered but said I did not have to take was to schedule a csection after my due date, probably around 41w1d. She says she will not induce and wants me to go into labour on my own. She also said that just in case of another true emergency, I'll need an IV in and will need constant monitoring. I'm 100% comfortable with that because my son's birth was very traumatic and in the event of fetal distress or another complication, I want them to wheel me in immediately for a c-section instead of waiting.

So, at the latest, Emelia will be here February 18.

 

[Jaxvipe]

That's awesome Brandi! I'm so happy she was onboard with the VBAC!

 

[PriandRafa]

Hi All!!
hope you all and little ones are doing well!!!

Not much news for me, only that I still barely feel him, but heart beat is there and belly is def growing! So I guess it is just a matter of time

Can you please update the first page with my baby's name? Benjamin Nelson

Have a great afternoon!
