We liked a girls name on friday after the scan and have just found out our great auntie was named it, might not get into our short list as we had already chosen a girls name last time
Georgia hasn't been moving as much for the past few days, just a bit in the evenings and in the middle of the night. So I looked at some posts about baby movements. And everyone said if you're not feeling the baby move regularly you need to call your midwife, your baby could be dead. Really??? Like I need to worry about that.
You'd think no one in the world has ever had a healthy pregnancy reading these boards.
in the evening and at night you are more relaxed and not as busy may be why you dont feel the baby as much as long as you do feel movement at some point all is ok.
Kelly don't worry about movement at this gestation. In the third trimester though if you feel like you haven't felt her for a while, you will want to count kicks (or other movements) and make sure you feel at least 10 in an hour.
Its really easy to not notice them when you're busy so sitting and taking time to focus makes you realise just how much they do move.
Never hesitate to call your health practitioner if you're ever worried about anything though, even if you're pretty sure its nothing.
But yeah, forums do give a really unbalanced view of pregnancy - and even ttc - as you hardly hear about the positive stories compared to the bad ones. If it helps, I had a textbook perfect pregnancy first time around lol. You just don't see any threads asking about people who had nothing go wrong lol.
Kelly - I'm not feeling Cubby very much at all yet. I felt a lot last Tuesday and then a bit on Friday and then a bit last night, but even then, they are not very big kicks or anything. I have an anterior placenta so I can't feel much at all yet, and it is my first - do you know where your placenta is? Even if it isn't anterior I don't think you should worry yet
Kelly - I feel less movements at the weekends. It's because I'm busy and distracted. I tend to feel them most in the evening and in bed, when I'm either doing nothing or watching TV. I do feel them more at work in the week, because I'm bored!!
As for names, we've decided on Amelia Hope for DD2. Can't wait for May for my mat leave and June for her to arrive!
That okay! I was a 2011 April sweetpea but had my DS in march... And this time I am a June jitterbug but found out its twins and I'll be induced at 38 weeks at the latest so they'll actually be here in may!
My children like to be awkward clearly
Thanks for all the wise words and encouragement girls! Its helpful. She had some really active moments in the night and this morning so I feel better.
Also, I have to say that I love all the names being chosen. So sweet and unique! Good choices ladies
Awwww! Asda have some such cute stuff!
I'm pretty much banned from buying things because DS had so much stuff that even with twins we have enough 7lb+ clothes for both of them. We'll only need to buy bits if the babies are really tiny.
I wasn't impressed with asda today. Their boy selection wasn't great. If we was having a girl I could have spent so much. I spent so much there when I had my daughter.
