I have gained 9 pounds so far and it appears to all be my belly. haha.
 
Junebugs - I can completely relate. We're staying team yellow and I've got my scan next week. I'm so worried that I'll see something and know. Everyone I know that has had little boys recently has said you couldn't miss it on the screen. Going to be having words with my bump before we go in asking baby to keep his/her legs tightly shut! Lol.

Weight wise, I haven't weighed myself in about a week but last time I did I'm at a 4lb gain. Trying not to eat for two!! Lol.
 
When i had my scan i asked the sonographer to tell me when she was going to specifically scan downstairs so I could close my eyes....you may inadvertently see a little penis at other times but I was trying not to look too closely. She told me when she was scanning the bladder etc and I closed my eyes. She told me when I could open them again.
 
Shutting your eyes during the potty shot if you don't want to know is a good idea. As soon as she moved down there it was obvious I was having a boy, even if I hadn't already looked at tons of ultrasound pictures from both genders. We did inadvertently see his penis after the potty shot when he was kicking his legs though, so you never know when you might accidentally find out the gender anyway, haha.

Welcome Cheryl! :wave: :flower:
 
Hi! I had my scan last Friday and baby was in a very awkward position. No clear pics unfortunately. At first glance she said it looks like a baby girl but would come back to that, she did all the measurements and checks then went to confirm the gender but baby had crossed legs and shifted to another really awkward position. She said that there were no obvious boy bits and she thinks she saw 3 lines. I am pretty confident it's a baby girl but sticking with yellow and neutral to be on the safe side! I will be delighted either way! Xx
 
Oh and weight gain, I have gained 12lb in total in 21 weeks. I was quite a dedicated weight watchers member before so eased up on that and piled on weight very quickly. It's slowed a lot now thank fully and was mainly in first trimester.
 
I have a feeling i'm having a girl junebugs, which would be fab! (Girly clothes are too sweet). But i've never been right before so will probably be a boy, which would be great because we only have boy names chosen out. :)

I've just not weighed myself since 12 weeks, and i'd only put on half a lb from 6 weeks. My midwife doesn't like weighing she said. It doesn't give her any indication of how the baby is growing apparently. So she said not to worry over little weight gain, so i've just stopped weighing myself lol.

Love hearing about all the baby movements. :)

I actually work for weight watcher as my second job!
 
Wow murmers that's excellent. Are you a leader? I saw mine in the supermarket the other day and she said I'm not to worry about a bit of gain, I'm not huge and feel healthy and she said that's most important. I'm not weighed at the midwife so they can't be worried either!
I'd love to be a leader it must be so rewarding seeing people getting healthier and slimmer each week.

I am a receptionist and I do the open center hours.
 
I am going to start ww once this baby is born. I need to lose about 50lbs to be much healthier than I am now. I have done ww before and it was wonderful I lost about 40lb then 2 babies later and on my 3rd I have put it all on again. This will be my last baby. I need to get in shape so I can keep up with 3 young children.
 
I would like to have three children, but DF is leaning more toward two. I think finances will have more to do with his decision than anything though, which is understandable. If we can afford to have three, then I'm sure he won't have a problem with it. I just hope I look as good as my mom did after three kids! She still looks good after five, but she seems to think that she's fat for some reason. She's lost a lot of baby weight in the last two years though.
 
I can't wait to get back to the gym and exercising after this baby is here. I plan to start 30 day shred as early as late novemeber/december depending on how things go, and if I end up having a c-section or not. I'm hoping for another natural birth though.

I lost 90lb after having Ellie and went down at my lowest to around 125lbs(i'm 5'7) was in the best shape I've EVER been in, but also went a little too far and made myself ill from doing too much exercise and eating too little. My periods stopped for like 11 months. I started eating more because I wanted to TTC this year, so on my jorney to regain my monthly and eat more I got a bit too happy and put like 3 stone back on ;) ooops. Oh well! at least I am pregnant!!!

I'm now 198lbs but hope to be like 130-140lb once I'm done. Not as slim as before as I looked anorexic and also dont wanna risk stopping my periods again :-s

Me too! This is exactly how I feel. I totally want 3 but money is gonna play a big role I that because I won't work Untill every hold is in school and even then I want to have a salon at home and only work around their schedules. I want 3 kids 3 years apart.
 
For a 5'7 female the healthy bmi range is 128-160. 140 is great! That's what I was before I got pregnant and lost weight. I'm slowly gaining back towards that though.
 
Just wondering how often you feel movement during the day? Some days are quieter than others and today I hadn't felt a lot of movement (perhaps 5 little kicks/bumps) before tea time as I've been out all day and running after my daughter.
Tonight after tea, I've sat down and the baby has been going crazy in there! I've seriously felt at least 15 kicks in the last 15-20 minutes and two really big ones, biggest so far :D

I love feeling baby move, but then I worry it isn't normal to feel such regular movement at 19 weeks. Like every day at least 10-15 times a day. I would go as far as to say on some days I've felt the baby move around, nudge, kick and shift position just general baby movement about 30 times in a day.

When i went to Masons ultrasound there was no second guessing, he was a he and you would see it forsure. Im sure everything will be fine, i just hope there is no slip ups.

As for feeling the baby move..... some days it alot (like today) and others it almost nothing (like yesterday).. it was like that with my son so i am not to concerned.
 
Sister Rose - I have plans on doing the 30 day shred starting around the same time.

We are the exact same as far as deciding on a third child.

The days I am doing a lot of walking and moving I don't feel baby as much. I would say on average I feel him/her about 5-7 different times a day. Sometimes it is just one movement like a roll, others he/she will move for about 20 seconds.
 
I'm feeling a lot of movements and kicks now. Every day and a lot throughout the day. This is one wriggly little monster! Lol. I now don't have to lay still to feel baby either. I'm feeling movements while I'm at work, while I'm driving. Just not while I'm walking at the moment.

As for weight, I used to do weight watchers and got down to 140lbs and I'm 5'6 so not too bad. However, over this past Christmas I gained quite a bit and went up to 157lbs. I'm quite pleased I haven't put too much on so far. Once this baby gets here I'd like to get back down to about 130lbs, hoping breast feeding can help me get there!! Lol.
