I am feeling more and more movement each day but its not that consistent just yet. DH has felt it once.
 
Whooooooa! I'm feeling bub doing summer-saults! About 6 times in a row! Well that's a first!:haha:

How is everyone doing with weight gain? I know this is a subject we all must be thinking about at some point or another! I'm trying to be good staying away from biscuits, cake or chocolate as I know it's bad for bub (OK I do "treat" myself once a week!) So far I have put on 11ibs! My butt, thighs and belly have grown a bit but no where else so far!:blush::blush: I can't help worry about gaining too much weight :dohh:
 
Lady I am still negative! I love it! My dr till doesnt mind because the baby is growing like we should. I have gotten my appetite back so I am gaining now but over all I'm still negative. It won't be long!

As for the sleeping I started putting a pillow between my legs like the week after I found out I was pregnant! I have been sleeping bad since but the pillow help a lot!! Now I toss and turn a lot. I bought a body pillow this week and I have slept with it 2 nights now. Unlike ur but in waiting on it to Amish down some. I bought the boppy brand pregnancy pillow a couple of months ago and hated it! I returned it the next day and but cost $60!
 
:wave: thanks to everyone who wished me better ill go back and catch up the last few pages later but im on phone at the mo and battery is looking grim!

from this page- junebugs, you still holding out for team yellow? :D

i have my official 20week anomaly scan next friday 7th june so if i hadnt have paid for a private scan i wouldnt know the gender yet either.

as for weight gain i was on the heavier side anyway when i got my bfp i was 14stone and 5'7. id gained about 4lb but lost it all this week after the sick bug so am at 0lb gain right now. itll probably be put back on quickly!
 
I hadn't gained anything as of my 16 week visit. I am already 20lbs overweight so my dr hasn't even mentioned it. It was the same with my son though. I still ended up gaining 20lbs by the end.
 
I'm sorry you didn't sleep well last night, girlnboots. I probably need to get a pregnancy pillow soon as I can't sleep on one side for too long or my hip starts to hurt. It makes falling asleep difficult, but I don't think I've had too much trouble staying asleep yet.
I haven't been able to feel him move from the outside yet (of course OH hasn't either) but I do feel him move from the inside a lot. He kicks a lot if there is a loud noise going on. We went to see the new Star Trek movie in 3D last week and he kicked really hard during the exciting parts.
I lost 10 lbs in the first three months of pregnancy and still haven't gained it back at all, despite my attempts to get more calories in to help gain weight. My OBGYN doesn't seem concerned right now though and I'm just relieved that I haven't lost any more weight.
 
So I just felt Ripley kick! It was a totally different movement than before. It was like a pop. So I raised my shirt and I saw it from the outside as well. I got to feel it with my hand too!:happydance:

Can't wait for this!!
 
when i was pregnant with my first, i never counted kicks, i just kept track of feeling movements every other hour and if no movements for longer than 2 hours i would start worrying and i never went more than 2 hours without feeling a poke, push, kick or a roll over. as for this baby right now, i feel the movements every day but throughout the day it's not consistent but it seems like i feel my baby every 4-5 hours and that's fine with me at this stage in pregnancy right now.

also for those who have a hard time sleeping, i have found that taking 1/2 tab of unisom helps a tenfold!!!! when i don't take it, i wake up more frequently at night and have a harder time falling asleep... with the unisom i sleep like a baby! totally recommend it.

and girlnboots, with the zantac, maybe you need to take it earlier in the day, i.e. before dinner time so it has time to kick in. it doesn't work as well if you take it when you start having heartburn or reflux.
 
Big week for baby movements for all of us! That's the great thing about groups like this. We can celebrate big milestones together. Ignore me, I'm sentimental today. :-) it's amazing what sleep and a good day at work can do!

I can finally watch Marin kicking me when I look at my belly. Of course, as soon as her daddy comes around, she stops. Poor guy.

As for weight, I've gained about 7 pounds. I should probably cool it on the junk food, honestly. I'm not the healthiest eater in the world.

What's the next biggest milestone for us? We've mostly had gender scans, most of us feel movement, but what's next?
 
Weight wise I am currently sitting at 10lb weight loss, with no sign of it going back on again. This happened with both other pregnancies and at the end of both I was about 1-2lb heavier than I was at the beginning.

Hoping it happens again and in terms of baby weight...DS was 8lb10oz and DD was 7lb10oz so not small babies.

Yey! Glad you are feeling kicks now too! It's amazing isn't it!

Looks like I'm the only one with weight gain....hmmmm LOL

Oh another thing!! As of last night I started leaking from my right bb! Now tonight from both! Is this a good sign? I'm not sure but I'm feeling proud of my bbs right now!
 
leaking is good - it means your boobs got the memo to make milk!! :haha:

i think the next milestone is the v-day which happens when you are 24 weeks.. basically, if you were to deliver at 24 weeks, your baby has a chance in surviving on the out and drs will make attempts to sustain life... any earlier, they would not try.
 
Welcome!!! :wave:

SisterRose- I am going to TRY VERY HARD to stay team yellow.. i have a bad habit of really looking hard at the screen thou so Im nervous i might see something....

As for me i have gained about 3-4 lbs which is amazing considering with my son i had gained 17lbs by now.... :wacko: I dont know how i gained so much with him but i lost it really fast after having him. He wasnt even that big of a baby (7lbs 15oz)
 
Yeah, I think the next milestone would be vday. My baby usually gets after just after I lie down in bed, I will have to take a watch and see if I can see anything tonight!
 
Junebugs - hopefully your tech is as good as mine was... i stared HARD and never saw the 3 lines NOR a weenus and scrotum :haha:
