June Bundles of Joy - 2016

Not sure if I'm crazy or what but I swear I've been feeling movement!!

I felt movement with my son at 12 weeks. This time I have an anterior placenta so it will probably take longer for me

Aw that's a bummer for you! Glad to know it's hopefully not in my head though! I looked back and didn't feel anything until 15 weeks with my daughter but I think I'm noticing it sooner just because I know what to expect this time

I just worried it was all in my head because I'm just so desperate for some kind of confirmation bub is doing ok in there, but I'm almost positive that's what it was!

I think 12 weeks is within the normal range for non-first timers! Exciting. Looking forward to that stage

I'm feeling depressed now because my pregnancy app say for week 10 that 'it is during this week that your morning sickness will likely be the worst' - I do remember 10 weeks being bad last time although I think I caught a 24hr bug then too but also I've got night shifts next weekend so I'm terrified how I will be...

If it helps I had some improvement at 10 weeks, 8 & 9 have been worst for me so far.

My sickness improved was worse 6-10 coming and going but then hitting me really badly for a week at a time.. now I feel less sick but still off some foods and tired a lot.

I didn't feel any movement til about 19 weeks with my son .. I think it'll be about 16 weeks this time nor sure why just have a inkling

Had stomach ache all night tossing and turning all night all I can describe it as is like it's trapped wind! And it gives me horrible stomach pain meh! Hoping the weather holds up as well we live on a hill and I've got to catch buses Wednesday for midwife I don't want no snow!

Thanks that does help! It's typical me to read something then worry, rather than just see what I'm actually like!

As for movement - I felt son no 1 at only 22 weeks I had an anterior placenta. Son no 2 I felt at 11 weeks. And this one I've felt popping in one specific place since 7 weeks and now at 10 weeks if I'm lying still I know it is definitely baby. Sounds completely crazy but it's definitely true

Am hoping to get some appointments in the post this week. After my midwife booking visit last week she said I'll be sent my scan date and my consultant antenatal clinic appointment xx

How exciting. It's seems like there's so much going on now with our pregnancies. I feel like I've just talked about how awful I feel for weeks, but I can defiantly see the light now.
My sickness has gone, well I haven't been sick for three days now. There are times when I feel awfully nauseous, but no actually sickness.

Scans, and first kicks, expanding bellies. I can't wait for second Tri!

 

[Starlight32]

I can't wait to feel movement!!! It will be so wonderful.

When can they tell the position of the placenta?

My nausea is pretty much gone now too. I haven't threw up in over a week (I didn't threw up too much but I felt nauseous a lot).

 

[GeralynB]

My sister told me I had an anterior placenta at 7 weeks and it was confirmed by the sono tech at my midwife at 9+2. So I think they can see it pretty early on

 

[Starlight32]

Is it something they usually look for and mentioned? I had a scan at around 8 weeks and 12 weeks (a few days ago) and the tech didn't say anything, but she was mostly focused on baby's heart beat. I also wanted the scan a few days ago to be extremely quick (I want to limit u/s exposure), so she may have not checked placenta position?

Ugh mine said that too. but my nausea has been gone two weeks now, it better not come back or i'll punch it!


I had an anterior placenta last time but didn't find out til later, and they didn't say anything this time- and i didn't feel movement until 20 + weeks with dd because of that. Wondering when i'll feel little one this time!

I asked about it so I don't think they would normally just tell you.

 

[gaiagirl]

I have felt better the past few days BUT I'm on diclectin so I have no idea if its meds or just symptoms fading. I don't think I'll be brave enough to find out until around 11 weeks, when I might go a day without to see...

Also...I'm wearing maternity pants this weekend. I am about the size now that I was at 14ish weeks with my first. How about you all?

The mat jeans are still a bit big but my other jeans are soooo uncomfortable. Maternity leggings are simply the best thing in the world though.

My birthday is in a few weeks and I think I'm going to get a coat that works for maternity (this winter and spring), babywearing (next year), and then just regular.

Anyone else starting to show and in maternity stuff?


Off to spa in an hour. Having a destress treatment which includes foot soak and foot massage, arm shoulder upper back massage. Soooo need it this weekend!

It's extremely important to know if you've got an anterior placenta in some cases - for example if you've had previous caesarean/s and you have an anterior placenta, they should check at a later date if it is low-lying and over the scar area. Because that can cause all sort of trouble with accreta etc later on

If it's your first baby or you've never had uterine surgery then anterior or posterior or wherever doesn't really mean much at all, apart from feeling less movement if it's anterior. The only thing you have to know is if it's low-lying. So the placental position will always be documented on your 20 week scan report x

I'm a bit worried that everyone seems to be showing now and I'm not at all. I'm nearly 12 seeks with my second and in my normal skinny jeans. :/

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I'm bloated but not showing. I'm a big girl though so it'll be a while yet

Still bleeding I think it might be a little heavier still no need for a pad and it's mostly brown but there is some bright red too. I can't help thinking it's just going to get worse. I have an appointment with the mw on tuesday, hopefully she can give me some advice (I didn't see anyone on Thursday other than the sonographer , and she only said the baby looked fine, but didn't offer any advice on the bleeding)

I read when I was having Xander that ms peaks in week 9. I had ms with him till 16 weeks but that hasn't been my experience this time at all. The only constant symptom I've had is the sore boobies. Nausea is really only there if I'm hungry now, and I don't need to eat twice as often to keep it at bay either (although I do have to have two breakfasts )

God please don't worry id give anything to be a lucky tiny pregnant person!

Has anyone else gained weight? I think I'm like 2.5-3lb up

ETA: it's a miracle I've only gained that what with all the crisps and white bread and carbs...

 

[Lil_Pixie]

AngelofTroy my sister is tiny tiny, with her first pregnancy she didn't start to show at all till 26 weeks and with her second it was 20. Some people just don't show so soon at all
