I like Freya be haven't known anyone with that name. I don't personally know an Isabella either but I hear it's popular now.

Thanks on the anatomy scan info! 3 days!
 
Has anyone had a feel for their uterus yet? I've noticed over the last few days my stomach is tender when I'm bending down or when Xander pokes or rests his head on my lower tummy.

I thought my uterus was supposed to still be really low but when I lie down I can feel it just under my belly button.

I felt like I'd felt a few nudges yesterday but they were in my mid tummy so I dismissed it. My first movements with Xander were very low down, but now I'm not so sure :shrug:

We went to my sisters last night, she's got a 6 month old son (he was due 8 weeks before my last lo which ended in mmc) and she's giving us practically everything! Crib, moses basket, chair, car seat, towels, crib sheets, blankets, sleeping bags, go egg, play mat and activity bar thingie, clothes, a full set of unused bottles, a steriliser and SO many clothes! The only thing she wants money for is the perfect prep machine if we want it but I'm not sure that we do. I'll hopefully be breastfeeding and while dh will be giving some formula feeds this time since it'll just be individual feeds here and there we'll probably just use cartons.

My sister works at the same place as me but she's a big cheese and I'm a worker bee so she's has much more money - Xander is always dressed nicely but her kids are dressed in clothes we can't really afford. Is it wrong to hope I have a boy just so we can have Leo's clothes? :rofl: he has a full bag of shoes. Xander never has more than two pairs per size.

Also if we have a girl it'll be baby no name. There are no girls name I like!
 
Pixie my uterus was already right under my belly button at like 11 weeks, but I always have a big uterus for some reason. I also have had some pretty strong movement up high, most the time though I still feel it low so I think wherever your uterus is you can definitely be feeling baby move!

All of our name choices, DDs name and our two picks this time, I have never met anyone with the name. I love giving my kids totally unique names. Just hope one day they don't hate me for it or that their names don't randomly skyrocket in popularity and become super common or anything.
 
uterus gets faster with the second i know baby is right by my belly button they confirmed it with doppler. i also can feel it rolling across my body ughhhh
 
I've been able to feel my uterus for a couple of weeks!

Good luck Becy. Sounds like you'll be much happier in the long run even though things will be initially tough.

I know a Freya & several Isabellas. They are pretty names which I guess is why they've become popular.

My nausea is well gone now; not completely but enough that I can manage to do useful things some evenings. However, my appetite has awakened! & I just can't get enough of chewy sweets like Haribo & Moam. I'm not craving them, but once I start eating them, it's so hard to stop... I still can't stand even the thought of chips though, never mind actually eating one. Weird eh?
 
pixe - that's amazing! I wish I had any close relatives with babies, DS is the only grandchild on both sides, none of DH's cousins have any kids either and all of mine are abroad.

mommyxofxone - I hope it's a one off and doesn't develop into a cold for you.


I'm not sure where my uterus is, it feels too uncomfortable when I try to push down and see where it is but I'm getting small movements quite high so it must be somewhere near my belly button.

How am I still only 15 weeks? why is it going so slooooooooooooooooowlyyyyyyyyyy???
 
My uterus is a few fingers under my belly button which MW said is right on par with 16 weeks.

I haven't felt definite movement yet...was kinda expecting to by now so hopefully soon.

I think I'm going to try a day totally nausea med free today. I cut down to 2 a day from 4 awhile ago but have been to nervous to try! I think I might be ok today...fingers crossed!!!!
 
Hey everyone. Got my 20 week scan next week, seems to be flying around. Got a definite bump now too, and feeling baby all the time!

I have been able to feel my uterus for a few weeks now, when I'm laying in bed at night I just have a hard little lump :)
 
Is anyone else thinking about home birth? I'm seriously considering it ATM. Have midwife on Monday so will mention it then. I'm not hopeful as I always go overdue(14 and 15 days ) and therefor not confident I won't be induced like last time. Hospitals are fully naff though and I would much prefer to just stay at home. Besides going over I always have fast delivery with no pain relief. I looked at pool hire and that seems reasonable too.
 
Rhi, I had one last time and I will have one this time. It was amazing, totally pain relief free. Quick and just lovely!
I didn't have bad hospital experiences at all and have only ever laboured with gas and air, but the experience at home was truly wonderful. Xx
 
No home birth for me. Xander was an emcs and while I did say I want a natural birth this time I'm seriously considering an elective section. I just can't imagine I could have a 10lber the first time that I couldn't give birth to and then the second time have a smaller child I could give birth to.

I'm wondering if I'd be able to have a growth scan this time? I don't want to try again if this baby is as big as Xander. I feel like I'm making a desicion without all of the information.
 
Pixie, I'm still a bit unsure about lighter movements... only the stronger ones definitely feel like baby. Mine are usually low, like a bit above my underwear line.
 
Anyones second baby about the same weight or smaller than their first? First was 8 lbs and I'm slightly terrified of a bigger one
 
First was my biggest at 8lb 14oz, then smaller at 8lb 5oz and then 8lb 7oz respectively. Xx
 
Part of me loves the idea of a home birth as that was the most relaxed part of my labour last time but as I needed assistance last time with bubs in distress I think it's best if I go to hospital. I would love a water birth though so am going to look into it but there's only one pool at our local hospital.
 
My first was 8lb 11oz and my second was only 7lb and in tiny baby clothes!
 
Mine we 8.5 and 9.5. I am dreading this one!

My midwife keeps pestering me to have a home birth. I want a epidural so there is no chance.
 
Whew that makes me feel better there is a chance!

I had hosp birth last time no pain meds and doing the same (hopefully) this time as well
