March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

Ahh lovely choice of name Anna

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Nice bump trying!

And I love that name Anna

 

[Lou1234]

That is our choice of name if I'm cooking a boy so I love it! William is our first name and Kenneth is our middle name (after my FIL who died when my husband was a teenager so I never got to meet him).

For a girl I think we have decided on Elizabeth and possibly the middle name as Louise.

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Elizabeth is my middle name, and will be our LO's middle name too if its a girl

 

[baby_bray]

Love the names going around~ They all sound lovely

We broke down when asked about gender at our 16wk, and of course, because we changed our minds about staying team yellow, baby wasn't exactly cooperative... Perfect potty shot! But almost bent in half so the scan would go...leeeeegs....belly! It was just a little portable U/S so the pics aren't the best, but we didn't see a "nub" or "three lines"...midwife said it was probably a girl though.
"Abigail Kathleen" if she's right

Love the name baby_bray.

 

[mummy to 1.]

Iv been for my scan 2day got told they think im having a girl, but i don't think she sounded very convincing, so am thinking of going for a 3d scan

YES! I knew it could happen, but I haven't really heard anyone else mention it so I felt like it was just me! I thought it would be more of a "third trimester issue" lol. It's like someone stabs me in the left butt cheek 20 times a day! Killer when I get home and try to take my socks off...
I get some relief if I stretch it out. I stand facing a chair (or a storage bin) and place my foot in the chair and sort of lean forward and I feel like it relieves some of the pressure. I don't really have a belly yet, so sometimes I lay on my tummy for a bit and that seems to help too, but I won't be able to do that forever

I'm glad it's not just me.. I was starting to worry.. I don't have the pain every day, but some is way worse then others .. Mine is in my right butt cheek.. Of course today while it was bad I had so much walking and standing to do that I was so sore I was wobbling by the end of the day

 

[Mrs. AJ]

I had this last time, I think it started around 15-16 weeks. I went to the chiropractor weekly, which worked wonders for me! You have to go often though because with all the relaxin in your system things get back out of whack quickly. Thankfully I haven't had this issue yet this time.

 

[skeet9924]

I've been debating between chiropractor and massage therapy .. What is better?

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Well my chiropactor always includes a little massage with each appt and it was covered by insurance - though I know some insurance will cover massage too.

 

[skeet9924]

Mine covers both so I'm not sure which to do.. I have a letter from my old doctor for massages this year.. So maybe ill start with that then ask my in when I see her in 2 weeks what she recommends

 

[Hippy chick]

Thanks for starting this group Anna. I'm Nessa and due to have my 3rd bundle of joy on 17 th March. I'm loving the second tri.
I have the anomaly scan next Tuesday and am really excited.
I'm looking forward to hearing how everyone is going, on the pregnancy journey.

Oh my! Thank you so much for posting about this. I have had this (in my right butt cheek) too!! Didn't have a clue what it was, just that it hurt!

Suffering from a cold at the moment and going to the docs today because of my cough, ESP as I have asthma. I will mention the butt stabbing pain too.

 

[rose.]

I've got horrible nerve pain in the bottom of my back too! Sometimes it's so bad it feels like someone's stabbing me. I've had it for ages so not sure that it's all pregnancy related. Laying down seems to help relieve it for me!

I am soooo happy today feeling poo but hey ho.......... I was getting worried that I wasn't feeling my baby move as much as he/she should have been. I had a dream last night that the baby was moving loads.............. well this morning while lying in bed I felt the hardest kick and I saw it too It has really put my mind at ease!
