Awww... Congrats to everyone who has found out gender. How exciting!
 
I am 20 weeks in Tuesday and just starting to feel proper little kicks now :) it's so reassuring as I have been the same with feeling like I am scared that something will go wrong.. I am hoping I will feel better after 20 week scan and hopefully start getting organised then and buying things.. my nan knitted a blanket and my little girl got baby a little snuggley buy haven't got anything else yet..

So lovely to hear all the genders :) exciting times.
Xx
 
Congrats to all the ladies finding out their gender!

AFM, I didn't think I'd be able to feel anything yet, as I'm a FTM, but I seem to have skipped the flutter phase and gone straight to kicks! :haha: My little man seems to be more active in the mornings and afternoons, and he's really into exercise after meals (I'm joking to hubby that he likes to help me burn calories, hehe). Grabbing a bite is a sure way for me to me jumping up in surprise several times for the next couple of hours, lol. A few times this past week, I've even yelled out a bit, it was so strong, and once I could feel it with my hand from the outside!

I'm still afraid to tell people though (except for my hubby, he gets a running commentary, lol), because it's so soon! It seems strange I'm feeling kicks already, I thought it would take another month at least. On the other hand, it's hard to mistake the feeling of your lower tummy jumping outwards for anything else. Could I be mistaking something else for kicks and get excited for nothing?

My only theory is that maybe a bowel loop is stuck in front of the uterus and I feel gas passing through there really strongly? Is that possible?

In other news, my appetite is back with a vengeance and I'm aaaaalmost back to my pre-pregnancy weight, so I've started watching out my diet now and trying to keep junk food to a minimum (most of the time). It helps that I still have a horrible aversion towards anything sweet, fatty and/or all kinds of red meat (aka my full diet before I got pregnant :dohh:).

Oh, and fun fact. Hubby is a bit weirded out by the baby kicks. He says he keeps seeing that scene from Alien in his mind, the one where the alien baby bursts out from someone's body, lol. He's been great with everything else so far so I should be giving him a break, but I can't help but find this a little funny so of course I keep teasing him. :flower:
 
You're not crazy, Quantea. I caught two kicks on the outside last week at 17w4d, on video.
 
Hi ladies! Sorry I've been MIA for so long here; I've been updating at the FTm thread and even there it has been sparse. Welcome to the new ladies and congrats to all finding out gender!

Kristie I'm glad to hear that everything is ok with your LO.

Welcome to the new ladies!

AFM I'm definitely getting bigger- pretty much too big to fit into most of my pre-maternity tops. I can still do pants with the hairtie in the buttonhole. I am feeling pokes quite often now, but usually only when I'm sitting calmly. They aren't enough to take my attention away from what I'm doing (and as I say that I got jabbed...). I am coming down with a cold, though. :( Any things you ladies do while sick and pregnant to soothe yourselves?

I have my anomaly scan at 7am on Friday. DH's uncle was born with a hole in his heart, so we are having the scan done at a hospital so the results can be reviewed by the on-staff perinatologist. We won't be finding out the gender, so all we can do is hope Bip is healthy.

I ordered a pair of palazzo pants from Groupon; they came on Friday. Definitely not what I was expecting in terms of material, they are like a swimsuit material- but they aren't maternity pants either. Turns out they are suuuuper comfortable and super forgiving! They also have a fold-over waist, so if you don't fold it over there is a built-in tummy panel! Definitely keeping themas something to wear now and post-birth.

Hope everyone is well!

(Can I get my due date changed to the 8th, please? That is accurate- the 7th was my estimate but Drs say the 8th.)
 
Just popping in o say hi :) got my gender scan next week, its gone so fast, feels like only a couple weeks ago i was getting my 12week scan.
Only in the laat few days ive started feeling tiny jabs, definitely nothing on the outside yet. Jealous of all youd who are getting big kicks!!! Thought ild have felt more by now. Last pregnancy had a anteria placenta so didnt feel anything at all till after 20weeks so expected alot more this time seen its in the normal place
 
Would you mind adding a team yellow :yellow: next to my name please :) me and the OH have agreed to keep baby's gender a suprise!
 
I wish I was feeling flutters at least. This is my second, so I know what they feel like, but I'm just not getting anything. This anterior placenta is driving me batty... I could feel Allie at 15w6d... Now I'm 17w4d and STILL nothing... By 20 weeks we could feel Allie from outside. Just frustrated that I'm not experiencing my favorite part of pregnancy yet... :cry:
 
It will come just hang in there!!:hugs:

AFM This little bug is picking up on the movements...nothing felt on outside yet...but feeling we are close...
Also in October I have lots to do...lol
-Attend sister-in-law wedding and rehearsal dinner
-Find out Bugs gender and figure out way to tell everyone...
-Plan Christopher's 3rd Birthday...I know we have a house this year(we rent) but inviting just my husbands parents and his sibilings and their families plus my side...could be up to 30 people...and I am first to admit I get aggravated trying to host anything, and get little antsy with so many in my house...just will be stressful...
-Halloween...my aunt has twin boys 9 months older than my son and we went trick or treating with them last year only because we lived in an apartment complex...so this year I thought it would just be the three of us...I mentioned to my aunt we were going to go around our neighborhood and she kind of invited her self and kids to come along...plus go to their neighborhood if they fall on different nights...I know petty and I'll just get over it...but why do people invite themselves???
-Painting Nursery and son's room...more my husbands job...but you know I will be monitoring lol.
-Getting the yard ready for next spring...also husbands job. lol

Lots to do so little time!!
 
I think I've been feeling movement the last few days, but I honestly have no idea with being a FTM.
I will get this like swishing feeling in my stomach- almost like the sensation of something moving in water. If it is baby I really hope it starts getting stronger soon so that I know for sure. I can't wait to start feeling pokes and kicks.
 
I am shocked that I am not feeling more movement with this one. With Avianna I felt movement from 15 weeks everyday all the time. But she was constantly moving, on every ultrasound she was literally bouncing all over the place and is still like that today. I'm guessing this baby is just more mellow than DD. But I'm so impatient! Lol I want to feel more movement.

Sounds like it! I've always described early movements as feeling like there's a goldfish swimming around inside me :haha: Then it progresses to little taps before eventually being full on kicks and wriggles :)

I've been feeling movement since 15 weeks now, same as with my daughter. Not every day and still fairly weak but last night I felt a few jabs and even a roll from the outside! I wasn't expecting that this early but yay! :happydance:
 
Gotta love it when you finally work out wat u want for lunch, make it, just about finish eating it and something makes you gag and bye bye lunch :( then had to work out what to eat again, ended up have a potato chip sandwich, so healthy 😧
