No I don't have it. I might have accidently deleted it though I have been cleaning out my inbox. Sorry.
 
So, for you ladies farther along, about when did you first start feeling flutters from baby moving? I know you've all probably said before but I'd have to look through this entire thread and it would take me days lol. So I figured getting all your responses in one place would be easier. I'm so anxious for when I can start feeling my little.
 
Opinion about dying bleaching hair during pregnancy...?? I'm bleached but thinking of trying to match my natural color to limit the amount of chemicals over the next nine months... But it might be a while until I can get to the colorist i trust so I might bleach one more time with the colorist I go to for touch ups but don't trust to do anything beyond that.... But I'm nervous either way... Thoughts??

woohoo for exercising! i went spinning today at lunch, wore my hr monitor, kept my hr to 140 or less. it's a weird feeling - that i'm strong enough to go harder or faster, but mentally know that it's not just me anymore working out - so i restrained myself and was a good girl. felt good to be moving again - i felt like i sat around all weekend (which i didnt, but it felt that way).

I did the same in Sunday... Did zumba and was all about the low impact options... Even then my hr got up to almost 155 a few times. Still manages to sweat tho. Also LOVED the hip movements. I plan ti dance thru this pregnancy. I've danced my whole life and the dancing feels good.
 
Ashlee I first felt them at 16.5 weeks. Gotten stronger and more frequent since. And I have an anterior placenta.
 
Katrina I pm'd you

Cassidy I bought fudge pops when I was nauseated too lol
 
I've dyed my hair while pregnant. My ob said it's okay so long as it's a well ventilated area.

As for movement, with the anterior placenta I have no recollection when I first felt her move. My first pregnancy I felt her first at 19 weeks and with Hannah the first flutters were around 14 weeks
 
I agree.. I bleach mine also, a touch up about every 2 mos, doctor said it was fine as long as you had the fan on and weren't inhaling bleach all like that lol. The "chemicals soaking thoroughly the roots, therefore to the baby" beliefs aren't true.. According to my doc.

Also as for movement.. I knew EXACTLY what I was looking for an felt tiny pokes (maybe once every few days) starting around 14 weeks. By 16 I knew for sure, and now at 20 they're still so tiny but all throughout the day! :)
 
Amelia, speaking as a cosmetologist, you should be fine as long as you're in a well ventilated area. I know so many cosmetologists that still bleached their hair through pregnancy and also we're around hair chemicals all day long and are perfectly fine. I think it's really just one of those things that if you're super worried then wait till after 12 weeks but you really don't need to worry about it.

And thank you girls! Seems like everyone in this thread has anterior placentas lol
 
The u/s tech figured I'd have a posterior one bc of all the movements I was feeling but nope - anterior. Doc said its low so that's why I can feel it. Plus I can feel it more on the sides than in the front.
 
With how active baby was when I saw him/her I'm hoping that I'll feel something soon. But I have no idea where my placenta is. The U/S tech at my NT scan sucked and didn't tell me ANYTHING. Not even heart rate or measurements! Was so frustrated. Hopefully if mine's anterior it's low like yours lol.
 
I didn't double. I'm terrified and i feel like i'm cramping and that it's only a matter of time before I miscarry.

I BELIEVE it was at 16 weeks, but it felt like gas... so I didn't know that was her. It wasn't until like 22 weeks until I really knew she was kicking me.
 
Amelia- I hope you are WRONG!

AFM, had a doc apt! Baby sounds good. Belly got bigger but weight didn't, YAY! She did the strep B swab and I hope its negative!! She check for dilation! I am 2 cm dilated and 20% thinned out. Well, she said not to get excited it really doesn't mean anything because I could stay like this for a while. She said its normal to spot after... well I sure am spotting with 2 tiny clots and some cramping. If I am still like this come morning Ill call her, but I think it will be better and I think it is because she was in there. Next week she is doing an US and said after that we will talk induction dates more in dept.
 
Amelia- remember that the higher your numbers get the longer they take to double. I think it's around 1000 that it starts taking around 96 hours to double or something like that.
 
I went from 814 to 1454 - it took over 4 days.

Before that it took three days to get from 420 to 814.

I'm slowing down and i'm slowing down very very early - normally you see it slow down after about week 8 but mine has been slow almost since the beginning (low start at only 15) and since week 5.

While it's possible to have low/slow hcg and have a normal pregnancy it is an indication of impending miscarriage/blighted ovum....

I guess if we can't see anything on Wednesday (yeah they moved my ultrasound... so I guess shit's serious)... I'm out.

Aaaand now I have to go sit in a room and watch cut.. I feel like vomiting.

I think if it was serous they would have said come in ASAP, not wed. However, I don't know. Crossing my fingers for u!

I was originally coming in on Fri "depending on the numbers" so now they put me in the earliest time they had which was Wed.

I am so so so broken right now. I don't want to be at work. I just want to lie in bed and wait to be told either the baby is fine or I'm going to miscarry so I can get on with living. I haven't lived for over two years now - just paddled in circles. I thought this pregnancy was going to be atonement for bad decisions of the past, now it's just punishment. Day in and day out. I though getting pregnant was the hard part, but waiting to hear if you are staying pregnant is the hard part - seeing the baby on the ultrasound but still not knowing if it is going to survive is the hard part and doing it all alone is gut-wrenching.
 
:( Amelia- big hugs lady. All you can do is hope and pray and try and relax and take it easy. I'm thinking about you and your little bean. Xoxo

Twitches started around 14-15 weeks-like popping bubbles and have gotten stronger and more frequent ever since. Around 18 weeks ot would have been weed to not feel her everyday and now at 21 weeks so is getting so strong, like I can see her from the outside! :)

I dye my hair every 2-3 months, I think it's fine as long as youre in a ventilated area!
