No movement here yet either, i'm just shy of 15 weeks though so not that surprising. This is my third so i'm sure it will be soonish. No idea about my placenta, now i think about it shouldn't someone have mentioned? I checked my notes and under placenta it is blank. LOL! Must be invisible.
 
I think I always wanted girls for a few reasons really. I have always had an awful relationship with my mother and I brought up my brothers when we were all children and I guess deep down I always resented that. I cannot imagine myself bringing up boys because I think I always imagine myself with girls and having the mother daughter relationship I always craved. I also love all the girls' clothes and accessories and love all my girls names. I have been looking recently at boys stuff but still can't get excited about shopping for boys, it's all so boring! I have just always had this picture in my head of me with 2 or 3 girls OR 2 girls close in age and then a younger boy. I know it's mad. I think it's the picture or dream that I am "grieving" when I think I am carrying a boy, rather than not actually wanting a boy - it's just hard to separate these thoughts and feelings at the moment, all I can process is "I feel sad" or "I don't feel excited". I know I don't feel excited right now, but I have every faith that, if I am carrying a boy, I will fall in love with him and love raising him and it won't be anything like raising my brothers because he'd be my son... If any of that makes any sense?! Xx
 
Welcome kim xx

No movement here either except from.about 12 weeks. I am sure I had felt flutters with DD by now and I had anterior placenta too. I am getting bigger though. I am also having stomach tightenings, I remember those started early with DD but not this early. Do you think that's ok?? I am not leaking any fluids or having any bleeding so I'm hoping it's ok xx
 
Makes perfect sense to me Joo! I always imagined myself with two girls then a boy :haha: it's not that I won't fiercely love any child I am lucky enough to have, it's the feeling of 'I'm not happy right now' I guess. Which will pass. I think it was Angel who said it first but I hardly think of it when I'm not on here!
Also, just in case you do have a boy let me reassure you there ARE fantastic places to get gorgeous boy clothes you just need to know where to look! I would love a girl to dress up so I've always thought I'm not going to just put a boy in joggers and some kind of superhero t shirt, I'm going to make the most of shopping for them too! Baby Boden is amazing for lovely boy stuff x
 
I'm excited for the anatomy scan to make sure everything is OK; my husband and I keep saying 'we might know baby's gender in xx days' since we are not even sure if we will find out. Down to 8 days!
 
I'm looking at baby clothes on the internet now and i don't know if it's' because of the sales but it is ALL rubbish lol.
 
Xander doesn't own any joggers/trackies but I do like a superhero tee lol. I agree though little boy clothes are so cute. Plus Xander only needs two pairs of shoes lol

Can't believe christmas is over. Just had to set my alarm for 5am :cry:
 
Vanilla I'm having my original scan appointment cancelled as I'm transferring all my care over to a different hospital a bit further away, so I'll need a new scan booked there :)

Rhi I found out my placenta position by looking at the bit of paper they put at the back of your notes at the 12 week scan x

Joo there are some gorgeous boys clothes out there, I think its just more of a challenge to find them (which in a way makes it more fun!) Ive always got a lot of enjoyment out of dressing my son. I second that baby boden is amazing for boys, I also love H&M and even prefer the boys things there to the girls. Sorry to hear you didn't have a great relationship with your mum :hugs:
 
Pixie - Jack loves his Star Wars and spidey t shirts it's all he asks for at the moment! But before he had an opinion I enjoyed the little polo tops, chinos and smart little jumpers lol
 
My favourite for my son was stripy tops with dungarees but he's a bit old for dungarees now, im really excited to be able to go back to the baby section in general!

Unisex stuff really is so limited though! I think it must be because most people find out the gender, my mum was saying there was so much more unisex stuff when I was a baby.
 
I love dressing Micah too, bit I agree it was much better when he didn't have an opinion!:haha: And I third Mini Boden, I love them!
 
Thanks for all the lovely welcomes!

With two boys, part of me hopes for a girl just to experience having children of both genders. But then i remember what i was like as a child/teenager and i go back to wanting a boy! Really all i want is a healthy easy baby like my first (i should be so lucky) haha!!
 
In the uk o don't think they routinely look at placenta positioning until your anomaly scan so don't worry.

I've decided mine isn't anterior (lol). This morning i could feel hard bits in my uterus that I'm sure was baby through my bump so can't be anterior.

Last night I had my first proper kicks. The first one freaked me out because I forgot I was pregnant (!) and then it happened again straight away.

Best feeling ever!
 
Joo - I'm really sorry you had negative relationship with your mother, I think your reasons for wanting a girl make a lot of sense :hugs:

I love joggers :haha: they're perfect for around the house, football and for walks in the countryside. We shop around at most places but find we have to buy trousers from zara/h&m simply because DS is tall but has skinny legs so the only jeans he fits in are slim fit and even they need tightening at the waist. :haha:

I'm so jealous of all you ladies having the anatomy scan soon! mine is ageeeees away :sleep:

I agree pixie, HOW is it 2016??? back to the school run today, I'm dreading how my hips will cope :( :(
 
One more week!! I've been praying that the scan goes well and that baby looks healthy. I'm excited but nervous too.
 
My anatomy scan isn't until the 10th of NEXT month. I have a gender scan in 13 days though. So at least it won't feel like forever till next appointment
 
Just applied for my son's school place for September, can't believe he starts THIS year now!

I can feel a really firm, hard lump through my stomach at the bottom when I lay down but surely it can't be baby because I can't feel the baby move yet?? It's so weird, going to ask my midwife about it next week.

I have a very busy couple of weeks ahead as we get our keys to our new house next week. We viewed it in August so I've started forgetting what it looks like. Excited but not looking forward to the process of moving everything and painting ect. whilst trying to settle my son into his new nursery.

lol! invisible placenta. must be. :)
 
We were driving back from vacation yesterday and sitting for so long gave me the opportunity to feel more movement than normal. It's just still such tiny movement, I'm ready for the big stuff!
