June Bundles of Joy - 2016

Aww I'll look forward to it. I. Glad shopping helped you feel better. I had an anticlimax feeling after finding out the gender but shopping helped me too.. Now I've got to stop shopping...

Hahaha, I'm waiting so patiently to be able to start shopping, next week it's on!

Wish I hadn't asked now this is depressing!

My start BMI was 22 so just average

My bmi before my son at the start of last year was 22 so normal but then when i fell pregnant it was 25 so overweight now its 28

I plan on getting back to my pre pre pregnancy weight if i can

 

[ehjmorris]

Pixie, it's just that I haven't really felt her at all. I know why. The scan last week showed her real low down with her back to my front. The tech said that's why I'm not feeling her.
Roll on February, where they will check she is all okay and I can stop worrying so much. I just hope and pray that she is okay. Xx

Maybe you can ask ur gp to book you a reassurance scan?

^^^ It's so hard to get scans here and i understand the departments are over stretched anyway. I wouldn't like to use resources just for my anxiety.
It's 3 weeks until our scan so not too long now. I saw her only last week but it seems most are feeling movement and I'm worried I'm not.
Thank you for thinking of me honey. Xx

I completely understand your anxious to see ur lil ones is okay, i am exactly the same! Once you have a loss and get pregnant again its so hard not to relax about everything

3 weeks will fly by hun, you will see her really soon

Vanilla, I ordered another pair of maternity pants. These go under the bump. The over the bump ones were so uncomfy because I hate things touching my tummy. I hope the ones I ordered fit well and look halfway decent!

I find myself worrying a bunch if it's been a few hours since feeling baby move. When does movement become more constant? And how constant is constant? Lol

Every baby is different. With my son he was never a big mover. I would feel him everyday but not all day. Usually at night he'd give some good kicks. I swear he was mellow in the womb and has been a mellow baby ever since

 

[Tinky_82]

I think at this point they still have quiet days and busier days. I had about 3 days of hardly anything and then yesterday I felt the most movement so far including kicks from outside.

 

[AngelofTroy]

I still don't feel much at 20 weeks.

 

[Becyboo__x]

I'm feeling more now at 21 weeks but its usual early morning or late at night.. but it's more harder pushes and flips then before but you either have a laid back baby or a really active baby as someone else said at this stage I wouldn't worry too much

 

[Squig34]

I don't feel anything yet. As I understand baby movement, the key is to understand your baby's pattern? You can always look up the charity Count the Kicks to find out more. My hospital is actually doing a project (not really the right word!) around fetal movement , so mums get a booklet all about it, to promote awareness & understanding.

I feel quite sick this morning but I only got about 3 hours sleep & I think that less sleep=more nausea!

Excited for your gender reveal Boosted

 

[Tinky_82]

Sorry about the nausea Squig - I definitely think mines worse when I've had less sleep.

Teeny if you're worried I'm sure midwife would listen with a doppler. Last pregnancy I did that as I was worrying and she could hear baby moving as well as heartbeat so reassured me.

 

[Starlight32]

Snow this week gosh I'm paranoid about a slip!

 

[karlilay]

I took my little girl sledging the other day Starlight, you will b fine

My belly is still so sore from 20 week scan

 

[Starlight32]

Karlilay, when was your scan? (Sorry, can't remember). My tummy hurt pretty bad the next day. Did the tech push hard? I have to go back Monday and plan to tell the tech to please not push hard!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

19 days until scan. Had a horrible nightmare about it last night and I'm also paranoid that she will be a he now haha.

I hope the new ones fit better, I'm the opposite - I need them to be over bump

Movement isn't supposed to become regular until towards the end of second tri as at this point they're still small and can move into positions where you can't feel anything.

Snow this week gosh I'm paranoid about a slip!

Do you have snow cleats to clip onto your shoes? they can be quite helpful. No snow here but the days we've had ice have been scary as we're on a steep hill, I've avoided the pavement altogether!


I just got my 20 week scan letter, it's now on the 8th but it seems silly they only offer evening and weekend times for the 12 week scan, surely the anatomy is more important?

My letter says to drink a pint of water/squash an hour before the scan, I thought you didn't need a full bladder for this scan?

It feels like it's been too long, esp as my dating scan was at 11 weeks - it will have been 9 weeks when we have the scan.

I've not been posting as much I'd like, for some reason the site is running very slowly for me - roughly 30 seconds for a page to load.

 

[karlilay]

It was Tuesday, and because she couldn't get all the measurements i was prodded and poked for a good hour. She didn't move alot yesterday either so they probably prodded her a bit hard too

 

[mommyxofxone]

I'm definitely still schocked i can feel baby. i couldn't feel dd until well after 20 weeks. i think it was after my scan with her so .... 21 weeks at LEAST. i was over that though. So this time i'm shocked. i still can really only feel him in certain spots, and like i was suspecting it's because of my anterior placenta.

oh and i got those photos to work, here they are angel
