Congratulations Nikki! That sounds a lot like our family too. Boys boys and more boys!! I have a feeling that I'm having yet another one but time will tell.

The last dream I remember having was the night I got my bfp. I have only been aware of dreamimg a handful of times in my adult life, though I do usually have more in pregnancy than otherwise.

I am jealous... I don't think I will get another scan until 20 plus weeks

 

[allforthegirl]

So is anyone showing yet? We are all getting close to the 2nd trimester. I think I was showing a bit already (more bloat I am sure that anything) with my last around now. I was a lot more chunky going into this one, so I am not seeing any change in my belly.....in my butt yes it has gotten bigger for sure....as my underwear is not fitting as nicely anymore

 

[.hopeful.one.]

I definitely have a belly going on. I have been taking weekly photos and the past three weeks I have been looking & feeling much bigger! I'm a bigger girl to begin with so I wasn't expecting to show so quick. Now I'm not sure I'll be able to hide this sweet babe as long as I originally planned.

 

[allforthegirl]

Awe that is sweet. I just have too much over hang from last pg. STILL I have never had much of anything left over before.....getting old now, so it doesn't just fall off anymore.....so it will be interesting what my bump will look like this time.

It is weird how we all show at different times.

 

[Nikki1979]

I am not showing. Have a lot of belly fat so that might be the reason for it. I am 36 so yeah my metabolism has slowed down over the years and I have thyroid problems too. With my son, I weighed around 105lbs ( height 5ft 5) and started showing around 18-19 weeks.

Playing catch up a bit on BNB! Congrats on all the great scans!!! So exciting that some are almost to 12 week scans!!!! How is everyone doing? I've had some strange dreams on and off... Last night I dreamt I was at an ultrasound and the doc pointed out a little boy part in the baby but it looked way to big to be on a tiny baby and I was freaking out. So weird!
I have no idea when I'll have another scan. Nothing scheduled as of yet. 😕 Still have daily nausea and sore boobs but bloating seems to have decreased. I've had some pretty bad lower and mid back pain today which has me nervous. Anyone else have that? No bump here yet.... Just bloat and extra pounds I put on before baby. Lol Hope everyone is well and looking forward to all the upcoming scans!

 

[allforthegirl]

I have had some pretty intense pains in my mid back too. Just under my rib cage, around where my kidneys are. It didn't stay but it was very uncomfortable that is for sure. Just decided to just drink an extra glass of water or two.

So glad it's not just me with the crazy dreams!

Hopeful- good luck for your scan today. Looking forward to seeing your pic later. What time is your appointment?

Oh wow nikki I can't believe you know the sex already! That's amazing! It's another 9 weeks for me!!! Good luck for your scan in Wednesday!

Camichelle - I've been having odd twinges and cramping every so often which always terrifies me. Hope it just means baby is growing and everything is stretching.

I have been taking weekly bump photos too. I can definitely see a difference from week 5 however it looks more like bloat than bump at the moment. Like camichelle, the bloat seems to be going down the last few days so hoping a little bump might pop out soon. I'm so excited!

I too have had some bad lower back pain some days. I'm hoping its normal!

Do you guys consider 12 or 14 weeks to be the end of the first trimester?

 

[STEVIE410]

Do you guys consider 12 or 14 weeks to be the end of the first trimester?

From everything I have read it ends after week 13 and week 14 marks the second tri. Mind you with my son we announced our pregnancy to family after the 12 week ultrasound.

 

[allforthegirl]

I consider 12 weeks.....as that is when you are in your 13th....ie: 12 +2

The whole 13 week thing is a bit old school in my mind.

Today I am 10 +5 so in reality I am in my 11th week. I rather say 10 +

 

[hanrh]

How did your scan go hopeful?

I have read 13 weeks is the end of 1st tri but I have always thought after 12 week mark you are in 2nd tri!

 

[AnnieMac2]

I'm playing catch up - congratulations on an adorable scan, Camichelle, and a boy, Nikki!

Looking forward to hearing about your scan, hopeful!

I had my nuchal scan yesterday, measurements were good and baby was really active. It made me laugh. Blood tests come back end of week, but I'm feeling relieved in general.

I'm wondering if some of those twinges are stretching too. I've been having them this past week and while I don't really have a bump, my waist is definitely growing much more noticeably.

Can't wait to hear more good news from everyone.

 

[.hopeful.one.]

My scan was great today! I can't get the darn photo to load but it looks like a baby now! Baby is measuring right on and was wiggling all over, it was adorable. The doctor said he thinks it's a girl but we won't know for sure until 20 weeks. I'm so in love

 

[allforthegirl]

Awe that's awesome. I can't wait to see your pic.

 

[.hopeful.one.]

I think I got it! It's not very clear I'm bummed they have such an old machine but hey, better than nothing.
