I'v been getting lots of little kicks now cant wait for OH to feel the kicks lol. Sometimes I can when i put my hand directly on it, but when OH is around, I cant feel anything outside haha

 

[skeet9924]

I'm starting to feel my lo more too!! I have felt the odd one from the outside...but nothing that Oh would be able to feel. I tried to get him to feel my tummy the other day and he touched it so gently I had to push his hand onto it...he was so afraid to hurt it!!

Im so jealous of all yalls movements. That has always been my most favorite part of pregnancy. With my other two, I would just sit on the couch, with my hand on my belly and feel them move.... I have an anterior placenta this time, so I can barely feel flutters this time And this being my last pregnancy, Im kinda sad about it....

 

[MrsChezek]

Congrats baby_maybe!!! How awesome that it's a boy - your OH must be over the moon!!!

My scan is in 12 hours! Hope bean cooperates We're doing the balloon photo reveal either on Thurs or Sat - soooooo excited!

MrsChezek,

Good luck with your scan! The ballon gender reveal is such a cute idea!

Woohoo one week left until half way

I started to feel flutters a couple of weeks ago, or thought I did, but I haven't felt anything for a while now I'm wondering if my placenta is anterior! I've still been hearing baby's heartbeat on my doppler so I'm not too worried, but I just hope I start to feel some definite kicks soon it's so exciting!

I'm the same this time round too bkay, had been wondering why I wasn't feeling much and at my scan yesterday they confirmed an anterior placenta. Makes me a little sad being my last one too, but I'm sure once he's grown a bot more I'll be able to feel him

Congrats baby_maybe!!! How awesome that it's a boy - your OH must be over the moon!!!

My scan is in 12 hours! Hope bean cooperates We're doing the balloon photo reveal either on Thurs or Sat - soooooo excited!

My DH hasn't stopped grinning! It's like he's won the lottery, he would never of been able to keep that bit of news to himself so I relented and let him tell, but no-one will be knowing the name! I want a bit of a surprise at least

Good luck for your scan and hope baby cooperates for you

Well I finally am going to post on the active March thread. I know I have been given the link to this thread before, and hell, I might have even posted on it.. but I no longer trust my brain.

We found out the gender yesterday, and it is a girl! I am very excited and very nervous! Hopefully she won't be the the awful teenager I was! Yup - my head went STRAIGHT there upon hearing the news (I was THAT bad!). Regardless, we are super happy and already love her to pieces!

Hi Ladies

Not posted for a few days but I have been keep up to date and I am so excited for everyone finding out the gender. Lots of girls, and boys in the right families too!!

We are excited as we are on holiday for 2 weeks from Friday - we will be touring South East USA

Then 2 days after we get back its our turn to find out or All my team at work are going to list their guesses so it should be fun to see how many get it right My DHs family is FULL of boys so a girl would be nice but I am just excited to be able to choose a name and start talking about a real person instead of "it" or "baby".

Well - I will be following you all still but my next post could be after our scan on the 7th Nov

I just saw the cutest little site in someone's siggy on BnB. I've never seen it before, but it was on www.expectnet.com and it was like an online pool for gender, weight, length, day, and time of birth. Everyone can post their guesses and there are different point values assigned to each part. Gender being the biggest point value.
From what I read, it's free for the basic site.
I'm totally thinking about setting one up for when I get home! It's super cute!!
It'd be a great spot to keep everyone's guesses and keep everything straight, sounds like people can change their answers up to a point and you can lock it as delivery date gets closer!

 

[Stelly]

Oh that's neat! What me and my hubby are doing since my family/friends is the competitive sort- we are doing a betting pool on due date and weight. Entry for bid is a pack of diapers and whoever wins hubby and I are getting gift cards for a "date night prize" for restaurant/movie or something like that. Its a way to include people in the fun, and get a lot of diapers for cheap.

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Congrats on team pink Stephanie, she looks great!

Sorry to hear the sickness has returned Anna.

Have a fun trip trying!

A betting pool is a cute idea.

 

[baby_maybe]

Congrats on team pink Stephanie those pictures are adorable.

Sorry you've got your sickness back Anna, that sucks

Trying - I hope you hav a really great holiday and I can't wait to see which team you are when you get back

AFM - today I've been mostly repeating the phrase 'I can't believe we're having a boy'! It still hasn't fully sunk in yet and I don't think it will for a little while. I had a quick repeat scan this morning just to check on the fluid in baby's tummy and everything looked great, plenty in there today Also saw my consultant for the first time since I had my stitch placed and he is happy with everything so far. We made the plan for the next part of 2nd tri, so I'm happy we're on the same page regarding my care
Also made my first purchases for the little man today I actually bought a couple of blue items of clothing for my baby and not someone else's for a change! I was hoping that this would help it seem more real, but it still doesn't just yet! Oh and my DH is still grinning from ear to ear, I think it will take a while for that to go as well

 

[mummy to 1.]

Only posted on here once before, i have been for a 3d scan today as i got told at my 2d they went sure but i now no i am having a little girl due on 7th march,
morning sickness still goin strong after 20 weeks, bummer had no sickness with my son who is 4 in 3 weeks hoping the sickness n spots don't stick around for the next 20 week :S xx

 

[MrsChezek]

Hi girls! Busy day for me today...had my 20 week scan at lunch and been prepping for our reveal tomorrow the rest of the day.

The appointment went well, though we got a little bit of sad news. I'll start with happy then cover the bad news and then end with happy news though.

The sonographer was great and took a lot of time looking at the baby from every angle. All the parts were there and in their correct places and sizes for 20 weeks. She was also able to get a good look at the nether parts (we turned away for this part) and we have the gender details in an envelope ready for our reveal. I handed the envelope to my friend earlier who is helping us out with the reveal tomorrow.

As I mentioned, we also got a bit of sad news - she found an echogenic intracardiac focus on the baby's heart. Basically, it's a little calcium deposit which has no impact on health or heart function but has been noted as a genetic marker for trisonomy. When we did the screening earlier in the pregnancy, there was a 1 in 6000 chance of chromosomal issues (my age being the main contributor to it being at that), but now it's been doubled (so 1/3000). They offered us the option of the amnio test but we declined. We would not abort over this so there's no point. I'm sad as of course I want the healthiest baby possible but I'm trying to rationalize with myself as this is still only a .03% chance of any abnormalities. So I'll be praying a bit more over the next few months.

Then, to end on a good note as promised, we opted to have the extra vaginal ultrasound to check the cervix and look for placenta previa. No placenta previa for me! And the cervix looked good too so that definitely answers my previous worries of incompetent cervix issues arising and I'm glad we had that option to check it out.

SO all in all, it was a very good appointment - baby is growing well, (s)he cooperated on the gender check, my cervix looks good and there's no placenta previa. Attached are two images from the scan. I'll post info about the gender reveal tomorrow night!
