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

[anna1986]

Been a wee bit sad lately, was really certain that around 16w i started feeling bubs move, im now 18 weeks but dont actually think iv felt it move yet thought you were suppose to feel it early on your second pregnancy also getting highly emotional when my 2yo throws tantrums, i feel like the stress has got to me and i just cant handle it anymore. I hope im not the only one that has down days like this?! On the up side iv got my scan in 4 days so il find out the sex and thatl reassure me that there actually is a baby in there and that im not just getting fat....but really can someone please tell me when you should be concerned about not feeling baby move yet cause its really starting to worry me

this is my 2nd too and ive only been feeling him alot more since about 20 weeks. i wouldnt worry to much yet some people dont feel baby til after 20 weeks. do you know if your placenta is at the front? this could be the reason your not feeling bubs?
oh and having a toddler throwing tantrums is hard enough when your not pregnant so it 10x harder when you are and your hormones are all over the place. i often have down days and feel completly stressed out by my 19 month old and wonder how ill cope with her and a newborn. But then i have days where im so excited to be giving my little girl a brother and i know it will be brilliant having 2 so close together and think of all the things i can do with both of them.
Good luck for your scan x

I don't feel strong movements yet they are more like twitches/flutters and if I'm busy doing something I often miss them. I only really notice them if Im sitting down or driving.

Todays the day! I didn't sleep well last night, but had 2 dreams that baby is a girl! We will see tonight

Good luck today rose cant wait for your update xx

Movements for me are still few and far between because I have an anterior placenta. With all my other pregnancies I was getting constant movements by now.

Hey thanks heaps everyone for the posts of support, was feeling a bit down so needed to get the wee rant out of my system.

Anna- i have been wondering lately if my placenta was placed differently to stop me from feeling the movements so thats something i will have to ask at the scan

I really dont think id be sane if it wasnt for this group, having people that are going through the same stages. Even though iv been threw this all before its so much different this time around....and too top it off im having leakages now too :S oh the joys of pregnancy haha

Aimee.gee this one is so different from my boy. It's weird h

 

[MissPiggy]

It's my first and I already passed the 21 week mark and I'm still barely feeling movement. I only really feel it when I lie down to put my feet up on the couch and read or at bed time - and it's just twitch like flutters at that! I don't think you should worry at all Aimee.gee

Can't wait to hear from you rose!


SO I took another belly shot this morning (see below) and updated my journal with a new set of belly progression shots. Link is in my siggy if any of you are interested. It's crazy how much my body has changed! Exciting at the same time though

[sportysgirl]

Congratulations on team Rose, glad all went well.

 

[baby_bray]

congrats rose !!

MrsChezek- Your bump pictures are so strong and beautiful looking~!! I get my bumps and twitches most from Abby when I'm leaning forward, like at a desk, or laying down like you said. She's just been getting stronger and stronger. It's amazing...

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Congrats Rose, boys are awesome!

 

[sharnw]

Yay Rose congrats

My scan is in 2 more days, NERVOUS!

 

[rose.]

Don't be nervous, it's the best scan I've had yet was so interesting when the sonographer pointed out the kidneys, stomach, chambers of the heart etc and of course the best bit finding out what gender baby is!! I found it much less stressful than my 12 week scan and everything was much bigger and clearer on the screen too enjoy! I wish I could have mine again tomorrow

 

[MrsChezek]

Congrats on team rose!!! So happy you had an awesome appointment too!

 

[AthenaPlusOne]

Congratulations Rose!

We went for our scan yesterday, and the kiddo kept it's legs as tightly crossed as possible and wouldn't let us see anything!! We're going again soon and hoping it's more cooperative, but am looking for some skull guesses

Any thoughts??
