Welcome and congratulations! I am so sorry about your loss . I am also sorry you had to deal with the stress of the possibility of down syndrom but am glad all is well!

I haven't been on here in a long time and it doesn't look like anyone else has either LOL. I hope everyone is doing well! Today I hit 21 weeks and am very excited as that is when I lost my sweet Charlotte. As of last week my cervix was still nice and long and I am hoping next week brings the same news.

Everything is going fine here Just hit 22 weeks, and I've been feeling baby moving around every day which is a big relief for mama!

We are starting to talk about getting some of the bigger items soon (crib, travel system, etc), though I will admit it still makes me a little nervous when I think about all the things that could go wrong over the next 4 months. But I guess we all have to get over the anxiety at some point and start planning for our LOs...

Hi Everyone!!!

welcome to all the new mommie-to-be's!!

Gald to read that everyone is doing well and 4 months to go cant wait to hold our little ones.

AFM had my 20 week scan at 22 weeks on the 6th and still measuring a week ahead so my due date mite possibly be late April. but im sticking with this group. Baby kicks a lot especially at 7am 4pm and around 11pm have gotten used to the cycles by now.

Im tired cant sleep properly as well due to my bump the sides are the only way i sleep and cant get used to it as i used to sleep on my tummy.... its a small discomfort though compared to the gift im getting at the end of this journey.

anyone can confrim when 3rd trimester starts???

I can definitely empathize with the sleeping difficulties. I'm also normally a tummy sleeper, but I was doing okay with sleeping on my side until my belly got bigger and now I've started getting back pain during the night. Putting a little pillow under my bump helps quite a bit though (even though it seems to tick LO off, lol).

I think 3rd tri starts at 28 weeks in the US/Canada, or 27 weeks in the UK. We're getting close!

Glad to hear all is good! I too am having difficulty getting comfortable when sleeping, time to buy a body pillow.

The status of my cervix has changed a lot over the passed two weeks. It measured 12mm (was 41mm two weeks ago) and I'm funneling which measured a little over 1cm & 40% effaced. I am currently at the hospital being checked for contractions (none so far) and they started me on a Med to try and stop my cervix from thinning. I have to get 7 doses and not have any cevical activity before I can go home. It'll be bedrest for me. In 2 weeks I can start getting steroids for baby's lungs. Im hoping to at least make it to 26-28 weeks i'll take further if possible. I feel pretty good about it because we caught it and are working on it before it was bad. I have broke down emotionally a couple times because the fear of losing him and the pain of losing my little girl.
A positive note he is doing well! He weighs about 1lb 1oz and is super active.

[lazandkiko21]

[shangeas]

Hi ladies!
I haven't checked in for a while. It so good to read how you are all going, and so reassuring that everyones going thru similar things!

I think feeling those little kicks and rollls is the most amazing thing in the world! I just love feeling my little baby inside me....it's crazy...just how much love I feel for my baby...I can't imagine what it'll be like when Baby P's actually here!

How active are your babies? How often do you feel kicks and what times?
Baby P is usually kicking when daddy gets up at 6am, then from about 10-12, then a few in the afternoon and then a lot more at bed time...active little sea monkey!

I'm almost 26 weeks and I just looked at my calender....Baby P is due on Mother's Day! That would be a great gift!

Course I'm not sure I want Baby P to come out. I love having my little sea monkey in my belly wiggling and kicking (even the kick to the ribs and my lungs, causing me to need to catch my breath). A little baby that doesn't pee and poo every hour, doesn't demand my boob, doesn't cause me to loose too much sleep and doesn't cry it's the perfect baby, hehehe.

I know what you mean - this is my first pregnancy to get this far along and I thought it would be weird to feel a baby move around inside me but I'm actually really enjoying all of her squirming and kicks. I guess it's reassurance that she's doing okay in there!

My LO is also most active in the morning and evenings, though she's started wriggling around some during the day too. Today I was standing in line at the grocery store and out of the blue she gave me two big kicks right under my ribs. I was so surprised I almost started laughing.

@semanthia - hope everything is going okay! Give us an update when you have a chance

 

[Semanthia]

Today baby is viable if born from this point on yay!
I was in the hospital for 4 days and sent home on bedrest with bathroom breaks. I had a check up last week and my cervix was still closed. I have to get my betamethasone injection and an ultrasound today. I'm hoping nothing has changed. They may or may not admit me again until I have him. The doctor said she thinks I could make it to 28-32 weeks so I've got my fingers crossed. I'm just so happy he'a getting steroids for his lungs and will have a fighting chance.

 

[Semanthia]

There were no changes with my cervix today. The doctor decided to hold off on the steriods since things are stable. At my ultrasound they did a couple in 4d for fun it was amazing. I'm a little nervous it might have ruined that moment when your baby is in your arms and you see him/her for the first time. With my daughter even though I knew how it was going to end I was still in awe over her and I love that memory with her.

Glad things are going well! And I'm sure nothing could possibly ruin that moment You definitely deserved to have a fun little "sneak peek."

How's everyone doing?

Things are fine here, though I did have a scare a couple days ago when I had a gush of watery fluid as I got out of bed. Of course I panicked, but my OB checked me out and said everything looked good and she didn't think it was my waters.

I wish I could stop worrying - it seems like every other day I am freaking out because the baby isn't moving enough or there's weird discharge or maybe I ate something I shouldn't have I'm glad to almost be in the home stretch, I just wish I could relax and stop thinking about how many things could still go wrong.

Good to hear everyone's going ok. We're close now!
Still haven't got my nursery up tho. We're doing renovations on the house to get things ready for baby. It's exciting, but I'd kinda hoped to be able ot get the nursery going by now....I've got most of it planned out...just want to start putting all the little itsy bitsy baby clothes away
