Welcome :wave: Are you expecting a or ?

 

[KellyC75]

have to say I was very disappointed with my 20 weeks pics, they didnt look as clear as my 12 week ones. Anyone else think the same?

Mine werent as good as previous 20 week scan pics ive had ~ Also, they asked how many we would like, we said 4 (at £2 each) & they were all the same picture!!

 

[KellyC75]

Had my 20 week scan today & all was looking good, so relieved

And....................She is still a Girl!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Yay that everything is fine, and yay for still a girl!!!!

I have heard that 20 week scan pics can be not as clear as 12 weeks because of more movement.

Suppose I will find out at my 20 week scan... if it ever gets here...

 

[lilrojo]

Yay Kelly.. so happy your scan went well and your still team pink..

Had a hard time sticking to yellow but i know it will be 100% worth it... cant wait..

[Jokerette]

hey ladies! Tiger I would definitely try to get that date changed! I always thought they scheduled them earlier than that. Hmmm...

Geogem, cant wait to see your scan pics!!!

ladies, i have been having the tiniest amount of brownish yellowish discharge on my panty liner. I started wearing pantyliners because i was having a lot of clear discharge and it was easier than changing my undies all day... and then the past couple days i have this. I am already on pelvic-rest (no sex, no vaginal exams) due to a low-lying placenta until my next ultrasound in 6 days. Hopefully the placenta will have migrated by then and the ban can be lifted. But i have had several orgasms using external stimulation... my doctor said that was okay. I just worry of course about the brownish color. I know that is old blood, not new blood. Any 2nd time mommies have this happen at all during the previous pregnancies? I have a call in to my doctor already so hopefully she calls back soon. The nurse didnt seem to concerned. Oh, I also have a home-doppler and the baby's heartbeat is going strong... im sure everythings fine right?

 

[KellyC75]

Jokerette ~ Ive not had this happen, but I have heard of it & as you say, brown colour is old blood & im sure nothing to worry about

 

[Guppy051708]

Jokerette, I have never personally had this happen due to low lying placenta. But a few times i did get light spotting when i was pregnant with my son. A little bit of spotting is okay during pregnancy, as long as it's light flow (spotting) and its brown (or even light pink),but nothing bright/dark red with a heavy flow and/or cramping, the latter would then be of concern.
With that said, in many of my trainings, i am taught that you should always seek medical care, as i cannot give you medical advice since i would be acting outside of my scope, but i will say, as a "friend", it is quite common to get spotting when you have a low lying placenta. There are other reasons for this (placenta didn't attach the entirely or a minor abruption), or it could just be your typical spotting, however, with low lying placentas this is seems to happen to many women because of the position of the placenta in relevance to the cervix (sits next to it). This is very common in a low lying placenta....the good news is, this could mean your placenta is moving up and out Many low lying placentas will correct itself before delivery because as the baby grows, the placenta moves out of the way ...call your care provider, to get checked out or get reassurance, but i just wanted to say, i think you are okay

 

[Jokerette]

Thanks KellyC and Guppy! My doctor seemed to think everything was fine. She asked me if there was any odor or itchiness, which there isnt, because that would be indication of an infection. But since there is none of that and no cramping she seems to think its just a little spotting of old blood (brown) and nothing to worry about. Phew! I love having the doppler at home just to reassure myself too.

on a fun note... hubby and I are headed out this weekend for a little "Babymoon" to Foxwoods. It's a Casino... I am not a gambler, but they have comedy shows, restaurants, spas, etc... I might even indulge in a Prenatal Massage or a pedicure! We are spending the weekend there one night with friends and one night just the two of us for a nice romantic getaway before I get too big Cant wait!

 

[EngineerGirl]

Thanks everyone for the congrats!

Junebugs, we're doing jungle bedding too. We have the bedding but no furniture and we don't move into our house for 2 weeks so I haven't set anything up yet, but I'm so excited!

jokerette, glad to hear your doctor thinks everything is OK.

geogem, can't wait to hear about your scan. So exciting!

Babies are total wigglers at 20 weeks! My tech had trouble getting some measurements because Little Girl wouldn't stop moving (the 7-Up I had probably didn't help, but I'd heard you should drink something sugary just in case the baby is feeling sluggish). Thankfully by the end of the scan she'd slowed down a bit. We still managed to get some not-half-bad pics, but I don't have 12 week pics to compare them to.

i had my scan yesterday and it was perfect by FAR the best scan ive ever had !
Holly is still a little girl thank god ! phew! i cant believe im having a girl!
we saw her little feet (ill attach a pic), and we actually got to see all her little toes wiggling ! it was so cute, i was crying. she has really long legs ! they measure at 23 weeks and 2 days she waved to us a few times. she was also having a good old munch on her hands the US tech was laughing most of the way through. at one point when we went down to confirm gender she put her hands between her legs lol. she was very wriggly too, she wouldnt stop kicking, and at one point kicked the probe thing.
all in all it was an amazing scan! although they tried getting some 3D ones but because my placenta is in a crappy position (low lying anterior) it was kind of impossible, so ive decided i wont be getting the 3D scan i wanted to get later on (not that they have called me back anyway )
FEET, WAVING AT US, HANDS, PROFILE, AND ONE OF HER GROWTH CHARTS

 

[KellyC75]

Aww Tiger ~ She is adorable Congrats (glad she is still a Girl too, I was worried about mine turning out to really be a Boy!)

 

[Jokerette]

Tiger, great ultrasound photos!!!!!!!

 

[tiggertea]

Lovely pics tiger!

 

[saphire76]

Jokerette- have a great time and relax on your trip!

Kelly- I got a surprise scan yesterday and I was like can you make sure it's still a girl Phew it was lol.

I met the 3rd dr. she was very nice she let my DS help do the us it was so cute. no pics but I was surprised to see her again so that was nice. It was very fast but I have to go back next Thur. because they weren't able to get the cord on my 20 week US. Fine with me.

Welcome to the newbie. Hope you have a lot to share.

Crappy rainy weather in Jersey today so I am feeling a little tired my decaf pumpkin spice is not helping either lol.
