Sorry I've been MIA ladies, came down with a cold last week and it totally laid me up...being sick and pregnant totally sucks! I feel like a big baby but really, it sucks. You can't take anything and just powering through and getting stuff done isn't really an option either as you just feel that much more ill and tired.

Anyway!

Baby girl is moving lots even with my anterior placenta I feel her several times a day. Often down low still, like she is kicking me right in the cervix. A few bladder kicks as well! Poor DH still can't feel from the outside yet.

I was thinking the other day, this may be stupid, but you do think baby is laying cross wise (like head to the side, feet to the other side) or up and down (head/feet towards the ribs and head/feet towards the cervix)? Is there a norm for about 22-23 weeks? Does it always change?
 
I only ever feel my tiny movements very very low down
 
glong most movements I feel are down lower as well, which I assume is her little feet kicking me but what the heck do I know?! I also often feel movements like maybe she is rolling or turning her body.

I was sure by now I was feeling proper kicks in my stomach by now with my other 2. It feels odd it's so low down still at 21 weeks
 
Literally as I read that I felt little kicks or punches about belly button level off to the side haha. She moves around!
 
I too have an anterior placenta have been feeling some movement for a little while but now feel lots of kicks my husband and daughter also felt the kicks at weekend so exciting!
 
My DH feels kicks daily now which is cute and DD finally felt a few at the weekend. I’ve also just started getting those feelings where it feels like a little elbow or foot is scraping down the inside of your belly which makes me cringe!

Also been in a few meetings, trying to keep a straight face while baby jabs me in the bladder :dohh:

It's funny because I feel so much movement but it's always down low (several inches below belly button). I have yet to have her kick or feel any movements any higher which does seem odd but even at our anatomy scan they couldn't get her to move her head out of my pelvis no matter what they tried, and they even turned me close to upside down to get her out and she wouldn't budge. Guess she is comfortable where she is :)

Mine is flipping around all the time. Sometimes I'll feel him down low, around my belly button area and below. Other times I'll feel him hanging out on one side or the other very close to the bottom of my rib cage. I'm assuming when he's that high he is head down and those are his little feet kicking me. Usually babies stay head down around the beginning of the third trimester. Some stubborn ones take even longer than that, not flipping until close to birth, but I think doctors really start getting concerned if it is taking longer than 36/37 weeks and might request an ECV. I've fortunately never had that problem... I think because all my babies had big heads :haha:
 
Appointment was fine, even got to see baby quickly again. I’ve gained 14lbs so far. Won’t know anymore about the birth until my scan at 35 weeks.
 
This baby is so active it seems all day and all night!! My first son would just go in spurts. I think not having the anterior placenta really does change things up. I can definitely feel the movements (some kicks, some just turns) on the outside, but my hubby hasn't felt it just yet. Every time they are intense, he's either just left the room or asleep. I'm hoping he will soon, as he says he never did last time. I think he just wasn't patient enough last time.

Still didn't find out? Any clues

Still no idea! She asked me if I knew what I was having and I told her I didn’t want to find out so she made sure to stay above the abdomen. She only did it to check on the heartbeat but have me a sneaky scan of the face because my mum came along with me, she’d never seen it before.

Movements are getting stronger, every time I get OH to look or feel he/she stops :haha:
 
Awww well done!! I'm so glad now we didn't find out it's so exciting x
 
Ugh anyone else really uncomfortable? I feel like the only comfortable position for me is laying down (and then only for awhile on each side until I have to move) or semi-reclined. Sitting in my office chair is so uncomfortable because I have to sit upright. Getting up to walk around seems to hurt my back/hips but sitting does the same :(
 
Glad all went well, Unique! How exciting that you're waiting til birth to find out gender. You are a lot more patient than I am lol!

My anatomy scan is tomorrow. Although we've already found out gender from a private scan, we will get an idea of his size at the anatomy scan. Excited but nervous at the same time. Hoping for a smaller baby but that's probably wishful thinking since all my babies were large for the gestational week they were born at. Thankfully I usually go into labor a bit early when they're "average" size.
 
I’m not uncomfortable in the day but I have been finding by the end of the day I am, my growing boobs are giving me backache already.

I was looking through my notes yesterday and it said my pregnancy is consultant led and I’m a high risk pregnancy but at my first appointment I was low risk. I don’t know if it has something to do with the placenta or my PPH from DD. I lost 1.3L of blood according to the notes. Also I’m 23 weeks measuring 22. I hope I have a smaller baby :haha:
