July Jelly Beans!! 2014!

[Linnypops]

Moltal - my bump popped out suddenly about a week ago. Also, depends on your frame i think, the more toned/slender women seem to bump out later on.

Time has flown, it's only 1 week till my 20 week scan. Also, my back is absolutely killing me atm. I can't see to sit in a good position at work.

Five more days until my gender scan! I am so excited!!

I started noticing this week that I am definately popping out more. I am bigger anyways, but its definately starting to round out. Not to mention nothing fits!! I need to get some maternity tanks and probably a new bra.

So excited to hear everyone's gender reveal!

Don't fret, moltal. My daughter's babysitter is due 6 days before me and she doesn't really have a bump. She just looks bloated too, lol. I've always gotten huge and FAST and tend to be all belly.

Oldnavy.com has a BIG selection of maternity stuff cheap! Check their maternity sale and clearance area. I have gotten a bunch of long sleeved shirts (some $5) and some plain t-shirts for the spring and a nice little knit hoodie i LOVE. Everything fits great and nothing has shrunk. I'm sure i will buy my tanks/sun dresses from their for the summer. Haven't bought pants/bottoms yet, i'm a nurse so i just wear scrub pants tied below my belly and a long sleeved shirt. I live in leggings on the weekends, yoga pants at night. Once the seasons change, im hoping to get through without having to buy too much.

Also, we had a big snow storm yesterday. I put on my ski pants to go shovel and clean the cars a bit....yeah, they did not zip. lol And my ski jacket made me feel like the Michelin man, so i just left it open. lol

Still havent felt much of anything i can pin point at fetal movement yet. Some squirming, but cant say 100% its the baby. Damn anterior placenta.

How big should you measure at 16 weeks? Lol I've seen everyones bump pics n mine is tiny in comparison I just look bloated .. So jealous of everyones gender scan hope my appointment stays in march fingers crossed !!
Frustrated sorry to ask but why the need for the DNA test? .. Sounds quite stressful goodluck ..

Not at all. My OH has a son with Di George Syndrome or 22Q11 micro deletion syndrome. There is a chance that our baby will also have this condition as OH was told by Great Ormond Street hospital that although he is not a carrier approx 1 in 60 of his sperm could be affected by the micro deletion. We would like to know in advance if the baby has the syndrome as it would need open heart surgery within a few weeks of being born if it does. Hopefully, all will be well though and we can stop panicking! We will definitely have PGD undertaken before our next round of IVF where they genetically test the embryo before putting it back as I don't want to go through the stress of this again, not least because there is absolutely no way I could ever end the pregnancy and I don't think my partner could emotionally cope having another child with this condition.

Linnypops, I've also been in agony with my back. Flew to London yesterday for my mum's birthday and although it's only a 35 minute flight I thought that I was going to vomit from the pain of sitting in the airline seat! I also can't get comfortable sitting down at all so work is really difficult at the moment. Saw our midwife today and she is referring me to a specialist physio who deals with pregnant woman. Hopefully I will get an appointment towards the back end of next week.

 

[Linnypops]

Frustrated - Ugh, sorry you're in the same boat - thanks for the info though - I never thought to mention it to my mw! x

 

[krissie328]

I think its a girl but everyone else is saying boy. I guess we will know soon. lol

I do need to get on old navy and check it out. They had a lot when I was looking before I was preggers.

 

[moltal213]

Frustrated wow .. Well it sounds quite scary I'm sure the tests will b clear .. As for the next ivf I agree with you .. To prevent stress because stress not good at all .. Good luck my thoughs b with you .. I've just been told to take slow mag lol .. For bak pain ..

Haha krissie I hope our guesses r right

 

[krissie328]

I take slow mag for my leg cramps. I do love that stuff. I take one pill a day and it has really decreased my leg cramps. I hope it helps with your back.

Welcome Kyron!

Isn't hearing the heartbeat amazing, Brandi?!! We heard our little peanut's heart on Tuesday! It was fast and strong in the 150's-160's

I feel all of you who are aching and paining! My nerve-y leg burning, over sensitive pain has been torture and night time is the worst! My MW is referring me for physiatry and physical therapy. I sure hope they can help! Miserable

Congrats on Twinkle! And so excited for all the gender scans! Got mine booked for 2/28! So excited!!!!
