CAValley--thank you so much for sharing!!!

 

[CharlieKeys]

ooh we find out what we're having one month today!!!! exciteeeed (I hope baby is playing ball and lets us get a quick look between his/her legs!)

hmmm well we ovulated two weeks later than we thought - so not sure what impact that would have on gender? I know we had sex a lot at the time we thought we were ovluating and then not so much after (not because we wanted a baby but more because it just always seems to happen that way ) .... but I was adamant baby was a girl but now I am 100% sure baby is a boy!

I charted but my last BD was a couple of days before the temp spike as OH had to go away on business . So can be both

 

[gaiagirl]

Interesting stuff! We BD'd for four days leading up to and including O day so who knows!?!? We find out in 3 weeks today though! So excited.

Went shopping today to check out strollers and cloth diapers and got lots of good info, plus ruled out one stroller I liked but won't fit in the trunk of our little car

Stopped by a consignment store and got a couple more maternity tops, a Bella band, and lots of gender neutral onesies for SO cheap! I love second hand stuff (when it's in good condition).

Now suffering from an intense headache sadly so going to rest and hope it goes away.

gaiagirl - we bd'd every day (sometimes twice) for 5 days leading up to ovulation, then twice the day of ovulation and once the day after. My #1 goal was to get pregnant, but yes, I wanted to start early cause I was hoping for a girl. Didn't work for me. Happy to have a little boy on the way though.

How early have u ladies typically felt movements/kicks?

I'm currently 14+4.
Today I was sitting at the table studying and I felt, what felt like a huge jab a little to the right and front of my stomach below my belly button. It literally made me gasp. It was very different from any stretching, pulling, muscle, cramping pains I have felt thus far and only lasted a quick second and stopped.
Then again tonight we were at a movie and I was drinking a pop, which I don't ever do, and I felt a ton of what felt like pokes and prods and movements. Again deff different from anything I've felt thus far and not like gas or air bubbles.

Is it too early for me to be feeling anything or is it possible this is bean (what we call baby haha)?
This is my first, technically I've had two miscarriages but they were much earlier into pregnancy.
A few days ago my bump definitely "popped" and is hard now.
I'm really petite, pre pregnancy weighed maybe 110lbs and had a very flat tummy. Could that be why I'm feeling things because I'm so petite?

Just thought I'd see what u ladies who have more experience with this may think?

 

[wishfulmom2b]

i keep thinking i MIGHT be feeling things (i am 16 weeks today) but still feel like it could be the regular twinges of round ligament pain or gas... hope it becomes more obvious soon!

 

[daddiesgift]

You may be feeling some movement now just depends on how strong your baby is I guess! I think if you were thicker it may take longer to feel it from the outside but I believe you would still feel it yourself around the time everyone else does. With my son I always thought I was feeling something but when it was real it was for sure that it was movement no guessing there! So this time when I feel little things I just chop it up to something going on inside me besides baby

Im kind of worried my baby is not getting any bigger. At 14 weeks shouldnt baby be above pubic bone at this point? It seems the last two weeks the heart beat has been in the same spot with maybe a little degree of upward movement. I also feel like I look pregnant but when you feel it is only hard and swollen from my pantie line down? Maybe cause this is my 2nd my uterus is bigger but baby is just not moving up in it?? IDK!

 

[wishfulmom2b]

i dont have any bloat, a bump, hardness.. nothing and i had flat stomach before. freaks me out. still in all my regular clothes. sometimes at the end of the night i feel like i might be starting to get one but its just food and gone in the morning. i am 16 weeks.

 

[WTBmyBFP]

Lilbean--I received my first kick this week at 13 & 3 (ish) and it was just as you described. Now I've been getting a bunch of flutters, but haven't had another good kick.

And just for fun my colostrum has started leaking!! I hope it is just a little because I'm not keen on having straight leaking for the rest of this pregnancy.

 

[morri]

My oh said that he felt something the other time, when he had his hand on my stomach but I didnt . hm.
Yesterday I checked out a little independent Shop closer to the centre of the City and it was a cute little shop. I got myself a pair of maternity pants, and I also checked out the sling fabrics and carriers they had there, as well the baby clothes. They had cute , application/picture free clothes there in nice colours , they also had brest feeding shirts too, so I am surely going to get one of those, looks very convenient

daddiesgift - my uterus didn't really come up and out until 14/15 weeks - can you feel the top of it.

We BD'd quite close to ovulation, which would tie in the with Shettles method as we are having a boy

[CAValleygirl]

I haven't really felt flutters, but the other night I got into bed and put my hand on my stomach and I swear I was kicked twice... Didn't feel it from the inside though. Who knows.

 

[WTBmyBFP]

Dear Benefiber,

I love you. That is all.

WTBmyBFP

 

[daddiesgift]

Are you using Benefiber for constipation?? I was not sure you could use something or not. Ive been eating lots of fiber lately with no relief Was going to ask doctor about it at next appointment.

I guess im officially in 2nd trimester!! YIPPY! 12 Days till next scan and we are excited! I hope this trimester I get some sort of motivation back to clean and cook! Needing to save lots of money for the upcoming move and eating out all the time is not helping!!

Well I thought I could feel it under my belly button but now Im not so sure thats what it was! and Im kind of scared to go feeling around to deep cause of the whole hole in placenta thing freaks me out plus I feel really sore down there even where my pants sit. I find the heart beat nice and strong everyday so I guess that should calm some of my worries. Its usually never under 160. My sons was 150-155. Im full and swollen about to my pantie line so I guess thats where it is. My back kills me if I lay on it or lay on a certain size, even sitting too long. That did not happen with my son till about 20 weeks

Lilbean I think that was about the same time I felt my first good "flip flop" as I called it, because it was so strong I felt like the baby was too little for me to feel a kick so I decided it was an entire flip haha!
Now I feel little bubs moving and squirming randomly throughout the day, love it
Our gender scan is one week from today and I am so excited and anxious to know I could barely sleep last night thinking about it! Congrats to everyone finding out now! Looks like we have a little bundle of boys so far haha

Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!

 

[Mrs.326]

Congrats on the boy, Cridge

 

[lilbeanhoping]

Hmm well then I think I'm going to go with I've officially felt my first kick!
It's pretty exciting! I hope bean keeps it up, gently though haha


I have a OB specialist appointment June 14 (currently I've been deemed high risk due to bleeding and my uterus having a septum, she'll decide if I need a csection and if I will continue to be high risk my whole pregnancy)

We get our gender ultrasound July 6-super excited!

My due date has also been moved up to nov 20
(to update u all)
