Rame- sending uplifting thoughts to you and your placenta.

cncem- I'm also in Texas and I can only manage to get out for a walk in Sunday mornings before it's too hot. Hoping yoga the rest of the time is enough.

I'm gaining about a pound a week now and I hope at my appointment tomorrow the midwife tells me my weight gain is normal. 20 (21 really) week scan next week.

Wohoo! Another boy!
 
I too feel like I suddenly popped today. I went for a walk after dinner with DH, and it was still pretty hot out. I just felt sooo big and full from dinner and hot and heartburn was almost starting. Ugh. I was just thinking wow, I feel sooo pregnant. Haha. I am hoping my weight gain doesn't pick up too much now that I have finally started gaining.

The nurse at my doctor's office called to say that my ultrasound last Friday everything was normal. They do need me to come back for another scan since they missed a picture of one of the parts of the heart. The tech didn't mention missing anything so of course now I am worried that really there is something wrong and they just don't want to tell me. :/
 
I don't think they can do that - trick you to come back and lie about the reason. It doesn't seem right, so don't stress about it.

We had our ultrasound today and they said that the baby has all his parts. The woman was not overly social or friendly, just to the point. She never told me whether everything looked normal or any information. She also never offered the gender at all to us, which was weird, because that was the appointment we were supposed to find out if we hadn't done a private appointment elsewhere (which they aren't aware of). I'm assuming he's still a boy :D

I hope you are right!

My tech didn't seem to offer up gender either, when they got to looking at the legs, I asked if this was the part where she could tell me. She was also very straight faced! Must be the training.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I felt like it was so weird. You'd think they'd be more inclined to be excited, but I guess that this is what they do all day everyday. Perhaps she didn't understand I've been counting down the days until this ultrasound and waiting for it like Christmas...

Hopefully he's still a boy. Maybe my midwife will know at my appointment on Wednesday and confirm. I know he had boy parts before, but it's just that little tiny bit that needs to hear "it's a boy!" one more time!
 
Twinkle I wouldn't worry. I have to go back on wed for a follow up scan bc they couldn't get all the pics they needed. I'm sure it's fine
 
My weight gain has been minimal so far, but I've been traveling a lot and on vacation recently, so I'm thinking that it'll spike at my next appointment, Thursday. Not looking forward to seeing that number!!! But I do seem to be right on track with what I gained my first pregnancy, and that ended up being 30 lbs. I'm okay with that.
 
Twinklie: I'm sure its fine too. They wouldn't send you for a rescan if something is wrong with the heart. They'd send you to a specialist to do a scan...

Enjoy seeing your sweet girl again! :)
 
Hey
hope everyone is doing okay. I have few pages to catch up on.

I had my physio group session today it was nice but knew everything. i can make 1 to 1 appt any time from now till 6w after birth if i feel i need too.

My sickness hit me at the weekend after going 4 weeks puke free, the heartburn set it off. Reset my ticker again haha.
 
Congrats to those who have found out the gender :D

Rame im sorry to hear that i was watching deliver me and doc had it. Plenty rest was all she was told.

I think i can feel baby hiccuping but im not sure if they do that this stage?
Baby is very active, not sure if that is what was setting off my uncomfortable tummy/BH i had bad night few days ago. Then ive just slept loads since.

Yes I read it's possible to feel hiccups now. I haven't felt any yet though

23 weeks today!
 
thanks :) i remember feeling them between 26-28w last time, for the first time.
Nearly at 15w left!!
 
Do you ladies remember where you were feeling movements at about 18 weeks? The doctor said my uterus should be up near my belly button when I visit him on the 9th of this month, but I feel most of the movements about three inches below my belly button still.

Im still feeling movements below my belly button as well. I believe my placenta is on my left side as it's harder than the rest of my stomach.

I am just not feeling movement under my belly button and it's not fully underneath all the way yet. My dr said that the top of uterus should only be just at the belly button @ 20 weeks so I wouldn't be too concerned as you're only 18 weeks. I also checked several of my pregnancy books just now and they say the same thing about 20weeks. I'm sure there are always exceptions to the rule so some may have it happen later or earlier. I hope you find some peace and not worry yourself crazy until your next apt. :hugs:
 
Plus if the top of your uterus is at your belly button, totally normal to feel movement below!

I had my 20 wk scan today too and had exactly the same experience... reassuring that everything was normal.. but not the joyful experience it really should have been! Still another milestone passed :)
