It went well. Heartbeat was good. Still also tired. Hoping it eases soon.

Im outside of Vancouver.
Dont worry(hard I know), that starts to happen. It will drive you bonkers. Then in a day or two they come back with a vengeance.

I never really had any major symptoms to begin with. I feel like I've been a little hungrier recently, but that's about it. And I have too much belly fat to be able to feel if my uterus is getting any bigger. : /

I ordered a doppler, so now I'm just waiting for that to arrive.

 

[Pitbullmom29]

Has anyone else just not felt hungry? I am just not really hungry. I eat but I get full so fast. Of course I feel so bloated and my stomach is growing. I'm a bit on the chunkier side but I take a pic each week to compare. And I've lost two pounds. But i don't know I'm just not super hungry and get full fast

I'm definitely finding that I can't eat as much as I was, but I'm still having to eat very regularly or the nausea starts. I overdid things a bit NYE going to see the in laws so I've had pretty bad nausea and aches the past two days where I've just felt unable to really do anything. I'm also getting a lot of RLP and some hip pain. I didn't have spd with DD, but I'm worried the hip pain may turn into spd this time. Going to mention it to my midwife next time I see her.

How's everyone else doing?

 

[Pitbullmom29]

Oh good so it's not jus me! My stomach is stretching and it's been bothersome lately. I feel you on the hips. My hips hurt on and off as does my back. I finally ordered a pregnancy pillow so I can maybe get some sleep.

 

[Girly922]

I haven't got my pregnancy pillow out yet, maybe I need to do that, it helped a ton last time. I did kick DH out to the spare room at 5am this morning though so I could spread out and get some uninterrupted sleep. Lol

Hi ladies, I hope everyone is feeling well. Finally over the 14 week mark! I have noticed the last week I feel a little more energetic which was they only pregnancy issue I was having just exhausted. I got to see the little one last Monday with the first ultra sound. A little disappointed as the dr did and rushed through it, baby was moving all over the place though. I think I am going to book a private one at the end of Jan to see if I can get some better pictures and learn the gender. Hopefully everyone is doing well.

 

[PrettyInInk42]

The doppler I ordered last week just arrived. And I was able to find the heartbeat, no problem. It was so awesome and such a relief. I'm feeling better about my IPS scan on Saturday now. : )

 

[Pitbullmom29]

Yay that's good! I had a scan today that went great!

 

[PrettyInInk42]

Had my 12 week scan today and things look good. Kiddo was moving around a lot and giving the tech some issues. And had a nice healthy heart rate of 165bpm. : )

 

[Pitbullmom29]

Looks great! Yeah our heart rate was 153 and the baby moved like crazy and didn't want to cooperate lol. So naturally we guess it's a girl lol. We dont find out the gender until feb 16th. Which seems so far away.

 

[Parkep]

Yay!! Love the scan pictures! They look awesome!!
Update on me, had our appointment with our geneticist team. Our amnio is booked for the 7th of feb. So nervous.
My OH has some complicated dna issues, hence the amnio stuff.
But the good side of it is, we will get to know the gender. Since this is our last, I want to reveal it in a fun way. Especially for the our older kids. They dont know I'm pregnant yet either. Waiting for the results first.

 

[Girly922]

Great scan pics pretty! And glad to hear yours went well too Pitbull!

Have you got any ideas for the reveal yet park?

AFM I've got my 12wk scan on Wednesday. I'm struggling to get excited for it as I'm so nervous. I think I'm more nervous because both our families already know and if something is wrong it's going to be hard to tell everyone.
I'm still struggling through this exhaustion and nausea. DH is amazing, and doing everything he can to help though.

 

[Pitbullmom29]

Girly I am sure all will be fine! But I remember being nervous for mine as well! Hopefully the nausea and tiredness go away soon!!

Park good luck for your test! I am sure all will be fine.

Hope everyone is doing good and all the babies are growing and healthy. Had a large blood screening done this time and one of the things is the gender which I didn't know until today they included that. Anyway test came back and baby is healthy today had a quick appoint just check in, and measurements. The dr wanted to know if I wanted to know the gender and I said yes. I was hoping for a boy as we have a girl but then wanted a girl after seeing all the cute clothes for girl again...lol. Also we had a 13 week scan just measurements to make sure the baby was on target and get a due date (July 3rd) I told the husband after that ultra sound that I seen the 3 lines for a girl but they would not confirm it as it was "to early". Blood work confirms we are go for Team !

 

[Pitbullmom29]

So jealous you had the blood test done!! I wish I was offered it but I wasn't or I was and they didn't tell me. We have our scan on the 16th so about two weeks which is killing me to wait! Glad everything went well!!

 

[Girly922]

Congratulations on another little girly butterfly! My DD is desperate for this baby to be a girl and to have a little sister.

Not long to wait now Pitbull! Do you have any inclination of what baby might be?

We're planning on staying but I'm a bit concerned someone will let it slip as we've got to have extra scans and see the consultant later on in the pregnancy. I'm going to make it really clear that we don't want them to tell us! Lol.
DH thinks baby is a boy though, but I'm starting to feel like it might be another girl. I'm just not sure.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[Pitbullmom29]

I think it's a girl. I've said girl from the moment I found out I was pregnant but time will tell. I can't not know I'm too nosy lol. Plus my dh just lost his grandfather and his grandmother really wants a another girl in the family. She had all boys, and she has 4 kids. Out of them only one of them had two girls. And now her grandkids are having babies and they are boys. So we're hoping its girl for her. Hopefully it doesn't get spoiled for you guys!!

 

[PrettyInInk42]

How is everyone else doing?

I'm doing well. Not feeling any definite movements yet, but I can definitely feel my larger, solid uterus. I just bought 3 mat t-shirts and 2 belly bands today. I've been having back pain for a couple weeks now, but I'm still doing my best to stay active. 4 more weeks til my anatomy scan and I've got my first OB/GYN appt scheduled just after that. And, based on nub theory and my personal intuition, I feel like it's a girl. : )

Shit is getting real, yo. haha

 

[Pitbullmom29]

Have any of you started feeling movement? I swear I feel it but I am jus unsure lol
