[Becyboo__x]

Finally started feeling movement every night and every morning
15 days til 20 week scan as well

Excellent becy! I haven't felt anything at all yet. I felt Xander at 17 weeks, I was hoping to feel movement earlier than that this time.

Excellent becy! I haven't felt anything at all yet. I felt Xander at 17 weeks, I was hoping to feel movement earlier than that this time.

I was worried because I felt mason at 19 weeks and i always heard usually you feel sooner with second but I had nothing but I've read as well apparently girls are lower down and you don't feel as much I know mason kicked me full on from 19 weeks I'm only feeling prodding and prominent pushes and moving about its all really low down though when I put my hand there.

Hope you feel soon! For me it just randomly came

I've heard ligament pains are a lot worse the second time so maybe that's what you're feeling

I had the weird shooting pain in my vagina or cervix too. I was worried about a problem but it seems to have subsided for now. In think I've been feeling baby move at night but not sure 100%. It's like little taps here and there but nothing consistent. I also don't feel anything in the morning or during the day.

I was thinking, why do you think boys are generally the less desired sex? Take this group for instance, in general (but obviously not everyone) has stated a girl preference, even those who already have girls. I have two wonderful boys and I would definitely have a girl preference this time. We've all discussed the recent group of girl scans and the 'worry' we might have a boy scan as someone has to! It's funny isn't it, I wonder where the generalisation of boys being less desired comes from

Like i've stated before, boys are actually preferred around here, and that's another huge reason i want another girl. They act like girls are worthless, and i want another girl because darn it she can do anything a boy can do (within limits of course) . My bil said he wants a boy (they have two girls) so he can play basketball with it. Wtf? why can't he play with his daughters? but he only wants boys and so does his mother. she's sulked for YEARS because her first two were girls and for the first? she actually said 'it's just another grand daughter. nothing special'

dh wants another girl because we have all girl stuff and the ONLY reason he'd want a boy is because sil and bil would be pissed and they are both praying we have another girl.

I always wanted a sister. in our family, the boy was so lame, he stayed indoors while i went out and did the sports and was the rough and tumble one. But i hope whatever it is it plays with my daughter. cause i felt more like an only child.


I've had complete strangers ask me (way before we were even trying) if i was gonna try again for a boy because they're so wonderful and lovely. RIGHT in front of dd! i said no! i love my girl! it was so bad at one point i twas like seriously if you want a boy that bad people you should try for yourself and stop pushing boys on everyone. ugh!



So lol that's why i want a girl. My neighbor had a sister and they are inseparable even when we were kids and i see all these great photos of them out together and huge gatherings with family and sister outtings, and my brother hasn't even ever been to my house. in the almost 3 years we've been here. Very sad. we've never been close no matter what i tried. so i finally gave up.

 

[mommyxofxone]

0oo0o0o0o and i've been having more tapping in the evening too! it's lovely feeling something isn't it?

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

I want boys because I Don't own a hairbrush .. my point is I would be fully useless Hahah.


I have very short hair btw I'm not just really scruffy

Angel - it could be ligament pain, I have days where any kind of straining causes pain down there in general and I have to stand up and massage the area just to be able to pee! it could possibly be a uti too, it's not easy to tell what's what in pregnancy!

We have our names almost picked out too - we have the first and middle for a boy and a first name for a girl - not sure on a middle name so won't be thinking of one unless it's a girl

I've been getting the odd baby flutter but nothing regular yet.


constipation, heartburn and horrible nightmares are what's bugging me right now, thankfully I had a nice dream last night so hopefully they continue!

 

[gaiagirl]

I have had stabbing vagina pain this week too, I remember it from last time but not until much later! 😣

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Yay for people feeling feeling movements, I've got nothing at all. But I have an anterior placenta this time and have heard it can be normal not to feel anything until past 20 weeks.

Had to cancel my 16 week midwife appt last week as was within 48 hours of me having sickness/diarrhoea, couldn't get another until 18 weeks. I'm worried it will be too short notice for me to have my 20-week scan booked at a difference hospital :/

 

[vaniilla]

tinkerbelle- the MW appoint should not affect your scan, once they upload your information at the booking appointment the system automatically books you for your scans.

 

[Boo44]

Wow mummyofone that 'just another granddaughter' comment is just awful also if my brother/sister were desperate for me to have one sex or the other it would be awful as it puts so much pressure on what is supposed to be a happy time. Just like the 'oh hope you get a girl THIS time' comments, or the exact same 'you'll be wanting a boy to carry on the name' comments that my brother and his wife always got.

I'm getting nervous now not about gender but about the baby being healthy or not. We had a bad experience with the anomaly scan with my first and were referred to a tertiary centre for further scans. My 16 weeks scan this week is specifically to check whether this baby has the same condition. I'm praying for a healthy happy little baby x

 

[Boo44]

Drives me mad when people say they're having the 'gender scan' at 20 weeks, they must be lucky enough to not realise the scan is actually to check baby doesn't have anything wrong x

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Boo I was having that exact conversation with my DH earlier re the 'gender scan' comments! It's like no that's the least important part of the scan and some hospitals don't even tell you, when you read what they're actually checking for and what the point of the scan is it does annoy me how many people in RL I've heard refer to it as that, and only think about the scan in terms of finding out what they're having.

 

[AngelofTroy]

I'm nervous too. Especially as I'm nearly 18 weeks and haven't really felt anything yet. I had had definite movement with my son by now and I thought with your second it was meant to be earlier. :/

 

[Teeny Weeny]

This is number 4 and no movements felt yet. It is a worry. Xx

 

[mommyxofxone]

I call it gender scan cause its a hell of a lot easier than anatomy scan. but really I'm sure people know its anatomy scan they just say it cause they're super excited.

Remember ladies who haven't felt movement does depend on the placenta position too maybe it's anterior so you wont feel as soon? I didn't feel dd til 22 wks. This one was 15+1. I was shocked it was so early.

 

[Becyboo__x]

It's not just positioning of placenta its the likely thing but mines at the back and I've only just started feeling irregular movements they come and go.. I've heard some people don't feel as soon with girls as they do with boys as there more active might be true for some and not for others definitely is for me at the minute I had strong movement from DS from 19 weeks and this one's more prod here and there then quiet

 

[Dory85]

I'm on my third consecutive day of feeling movement but I have no idea where my placenta is so can't help there. Third baby and I felt at 18 weeks with my first so I don't really see that as a factor. I also don't see how gender would influence movement?
