Rushed midwide app today- all ok and her HB (150) she told me i need to relax and slow down (dont think will happen anytime soon)

Been feeling lots of movement these past few days got letter through for glucose test (urgh remember it last time- got so bored)

Hope everyone is doing fine?

Im glad bubba is okay! Try and rest as much as possible and take time out for you two

 

[Hollynesss]

Karry, I'm so sorry to hear that! It is good that they're keeping a close eye on baby, though.

Anyone else feeling any kicks yet?

 

[Miss Bellum]

Karri sorry you've been so ill hope you are better now.

I've started feeling little flutters now, somedays more than others. Makes it all feel a bit more real

 

[Hollynesss]

I haven't felt any yet, but I'm anxiously awaiting!

 

[Miss Bellum]

I think with my first I didnt feel anything till about 16/17 weeks. Hope you start to feel something soon

 

[DandJ]

I have an anterior placenta so I won't be able to feel anything until like 20 weeks or later

Congratulations on team blue and welcome to the team

Welcome Caitie! Im sorry to hear about your hg Karri. I am still nauseous but have only actually thrown up a few times. I hate feeling so yucky and my heart goes out to those who are Even more sick. Hopefully you'll feel better soon!

I found out the gender today, it's a boy! I'm happy but also sad because my daughter really really wanted a baby sister. She actually cried when she found out it's a boy. I feel bad, but hope she will come around and love it just the same.

Welcome Caitie!

DandJ I think I'm in the same boat. I had an anterior placenta at my 11-week scan (haven't had it checked since then) and I haven't felt a thing yet. With DD and DS, I was feeling definite kicks by 14 weeks

laughingduck congrats on team !!!!! Sorry your DD was sad, I think in time the sadness will fade away, especially if she knows she gets to be mommy's helper when baby brother arrives, etc. She might find that she's really excited again!

 

[MelliPaige]

So am I, if I dont make abother early appointment Im scheduling our regular gender scan Tuesday

 

[ehjmorris]

Two blue bumps today yay

Hello ladies, how are we all?

I can't believe how quick it's going and fast our little babies are growing lovely to see some already know the gender of their little Bubbas! I'm jealous! We have 3.5 weeks to go until our 20 week scan!

Had my first midwife appointment yesterday and she managed after a little prodding about to find both the twins heartbeats. I don't think that sound will ever get old or ever fail to amaze me. Twin one on the left was 148bpm and twin two on the right, 150bpm! I have lots of extra appointments coming up and extra scans after 24 weeks as its twins. Not that I'm complaining! Really excited to find out the sexes. Especially as we were team yellow with my first. Finding out is new and exciting for us!

When are you girls buying things? Have you started? We have! Especially as we have two on the way and they could come early. I want to be all ready and prepared by week 30!

To the ladies with anterior placentas, I've had APs with 3 out of 5 pregnancies (this pregnancy is AP). Not necessarily true you'll feel movement later. Just depends on where your AP is. With this one, I've felt movement for the past 3/4 weeks. With my others, I've felt movement earlier too!

I have my gender scan today!!! Eeeek I am sooooooo excited!!!!!

That's good to know! When giving birth either vaginally or Cesearean... were there any complications with having an anterior placenta?

For those who already have children, did you use a breathing monitor as well as the standard baby monitor? I've read reviews but it seems the breathing monitors tend to go off when they shouldn't causing more anxiety than not having one!!! Just wondered what your thoughts are.x

I have most baby stuff since I kept stuff from my daughter. I did buy a cute knitted blue outfit last week (kept the receipt since I didnt know the sex yet, but had a hunch and it was too chte to pass up). Now that I know I have a boy for sure, Im just going to buy a few cute outfits as I see them. I also want to get some of those self-swaddling blankets with the velcro, as I suck at swaddling. Anyone know of a good brand?

I didnt but my daughter slept in the room with me so it wasnt something I needed. Not sure if I would if she had slept in another room, Id look into it for sure though.

All my births have been vaginally and nope, no problems!
