Also wanted to ask a question I felt my daughter at around 21 weeks and I thought it was so late, she was so mellow and her kicks where always gentle, I think that's why it took so long! I am not skinny but I am not overweight either and I was hoping to feel this baby boy much sooner, specially since he seems so active during ultrasounds. But, I have an anterior placenta, anyone with an anterior placenta also? When did you feel baby? I'm getting impatient!!!

Hi all! Haven't had a chance to catch up on everyone's posts but I finally got lucky today and we found out that a little girl is heading our way! In absolute shock! Not a fan of pink at all!! Think it's because I've spent my life as a ballerina...when you have to wear pink day in day out for work it kind of puts you off!

Borr- This time I also have an anterior placenta and I've only started feeling stronger regular kicks at 19 weeks. It sucks but it has no risks so can't complain much!

Lal- Congrats on your girl!! All the stores I've been to have so many other colors than just pink! There's so much blue, green, yellow, red and gray! Most of the clothes I've bought so far are non pink!

I have an anterior placenta and I started to feel proper kicks at 21 weeks. This is my first though x

I also have a silly anterior placenta. I started feeling medium strength kicks at the end of 18 weeks then stronger full power kicks a week or so later. DH just felt bug kick for the first time a few days ago and yesterday I saw my belly jiggle from a really powerful kick!!

Sorry I've been away upset and heartache for me this week but I think we are moving forward now as I can't change the past! I started feeling small kicks at 19 weeks but this week I've gone from nothing to ouch kicks! Anterior placenta her too x

Lallie, yay! I'm so happy for you I feel the same way about pink, I don't even like pastels in general which does add a challange lol but there are a lot of bright primary colors out there, if you poke around.

borr, it's amazing to realize how many of us have anterior placenta. I didn't realize it is so common. I am at 22 weeks and have finally been feeling hard kicks, but not with any regularity. I still end up relying on my doppler a lot, where I can hear her kicking away in there. I was told by 24 weeks, I'll be feeling nearly every kick. Hope it's true!

Lallie- congrats on having a girl! I know what you mean about the pink- I think that it puts me off more than blue for boys (blue is like a neutral color for me). I have a good friend, and when buying things for her little girl, I found a lot of nice things in deeper colors. Some of it was pinkish like magenta, but I prefer that to baby pink.

borr - I also have an anterior placenta and I think I started feeling little flutters around 16 weeks. But they were not that often. Around 19-20 weeks I only felt tiny movements to my left side or very low. Just recently am I feeling bigger movements on both sides and up high. And finally at few days ago @23 weeks I actually felt some movement in the front middle. But mostly I don't feeling anything there. This is my first pregnancy having an anterior placenta.

lallie - congrats on a girl!! So exciting



Has anyone started to get Braxton Hicks contractions? I've slowly started to notice them over the past couple pf weeks. Last night was crazy. My stomach got so tight!!! Like I couldn't breathe or move when it happen. I remeber these happening with my other pregnancies as well, but you forget how strong these BH contractions can feel!!
I also wanted to share that my hubby and kids can feel the baby move from the outside now. So exciting!!!

 

[campn]

I've started seeing my belly move, or more like *jump* whenever she kicks! This is my favorite part of pregnancy, I can't think of anything else I like.

Mari- no BH here yet thankfully! I hated them so much and they were non stop in the third trimester for me. I didn't even know what they were for so long, I just thought I must be so constipated

 

[Hope16]

Mari- I had no idea what I was experiencing until you described them. I will feel my belly get really tight and hard and it kind of takes my breath away for a few seconds before the tension releases. I thought it was just the baby rolling around in a funny way. I've been having them a few times a day but they mostly occur at night when I'm laying down.

 

[Sweety21]

Lallie, Congratulations on baby girl.

Mari, I have experienced them.Infact,just had one where I couldn't breathe at all. Is it bad that they are starting so early?

Campn,　that's my fav part too. Also, when my dd talks and feels baby her happy face is my fav one too.

 

[mari35racz36]

campn - I love seeing my belly move too! So amazing to watch

Hope16 - That is exactly what i feel. Apparently they are practice contractions our uterus does to prepare us for labour. Mine happen a lot at night too.

sweety - It is totally normal to be feeling these now. They happen in the 2nd and 3rd tri. I felt then really early with DS1 at 18 weeks.

 

[ciz]

yup bh happening for me too. started this morning in fact lol. aren't they a joy haha

 

[xanzaba]

That's what that was! I think they started when I was having the round ligament pain. Boy, that was not fun.

Embarrassing question here- any of you ladies, um, leaking? I felt something the other day and was convinced it was fluid leaking, but then realized it was a bit of pee. Never been so happy to have peed myself!

 

[MummaMoo]

Ginge, sorry to hear you've been having some upset, I hope you're feeling better now : hugs:

Lallie, congratulations on your girl!

I'm not mad on pink either - when Sophie was born we were given some proper, pink FRILLY dresses. Ugh. I mean, thanks, so kind and everything, but no thanks. The Vertbaudet company that I've mentioned in the past are very non-pink, I get a lot from them. I'm trying to get mum to relay the message to people that if we have another girl, no fancy dresses please because they just won't get worn.

Yes! Loving seeing my belly move with kicks! I can lay down and watch my belly all night!

Finally got my bloods back regarding the slap cheek - no risk. New thing to look at, is the fact that my work buddy found out yesterday that she's been suffering with glandular fever. She's no longer infectious but we work together nearly every day so need to look at whether that could have been harmful.

Yes Xan, I think I leak a little - it must really sneak out though because I never feel it!
I feel a lot more hot and sweaty down there too, especially now the weather is improving for us over here. I'm now taking fresh underwear and feminine wipes with me just to feel fresh and dry, because I'm paranoid I smell!

 

[x-ginge-x]

I've never had any kind of contraction what do BH feel like? So i know wha i'm looking for

 

[mari35racz36]

Xan - I leak sometimes too. Especially when I sneeze or cough. My bladder is so bad. I've also got kicks to the bladder which have not been fun!! Lol
