TTC and Beyond!

[wavescrash]

Julie - definitely get what you mean. Everyone in my due date club is freaking over reduced movements lately and they've all been told as long as you feel any kind of movements, even lighter jabs... It still counts so hopefully the same applies to you.

Morgan - half of them are being induced mid-late February so I'm hoping that'll shut some of them up soon lol. My old due date club with Hannah was the best, I swear. Kinda bummed not to have another group like that with this due date but oh well lol. I guess it's really not that important lol.

I got an update for 33 weeks today saying you'll feel more tired this week and that's no joke. OH let me sleep until 10:30 (not solid sleep unfortunately) and now it's 1:00, Hannah's down for a nap and I'm laying on the couch for a nap myself.

Well I'm going to add to the complain train and say that I am sitting in my OB office bc they made me come in. I started having stabbing right upper quadrant abdominal pain yesterday to the point it made me cry. And I can handle a lot of pain. I thought it was my ribs at first but it's in my back right below my shoulder, around the side and it feels like an inflated balloon inside of my rib cage. So I called early this morning and left a message just wondering if it was normal...the nurse called right back and said I have to come in today bc RUQ pain is taken quite seriously....waaaaaaa

 

[TTCaWee1]

Oh and Julie - have you felt any more movement yet?

 

[brunettebimbo]

Sandy that sucks Definitely push for one. 18-20 weeks!?!? That's bloody ridiculous!

Julie any news? Hope OJ and Vibe have worked!

Rachel- Have fun.. L&D? When they made me come in, I had to sit there for SIX pointless hours on fetal monitors. It was great. Hope it's quick and easy for you and maybe just a pulled muscle or something.. so weird!

 

[clynn11]

Im sure olivia is just resting julie!! Hoping she gives you a good punch in the side soon

sandy thats bs. Id be calling back demanding a dating scan.

Rachel I hope the pain goes away soon!!!

 

[TTCaWee1]

No Morgan - OB office. Saw the nurse midwife bc my doc is out. Doing some labs, listened to the hb...she thinks it's just from Ellie's positioning which will unfortunately get worse. They worry about pre-e with ruq pain, plus I had a nosebleed but my BP was normal and no protein in my urine so that's ruled out. I can deal with pain just not pre-e

 

[TTCaWee1]

And Sandy, I don't understand why they wait so long! U are in America right??

 

[asmcsm]

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one bitching today! I didn't want to be a complaining preggo but it sucks to be 20 weeks pregnant and still be puking 3 days a week

I'm still a little annoyed with sister situation. I still support her, but it's frustrating. I'm sure I'll get over it.

Not felt Lux really. Thought I might have felt some bubbles last night and a couple this morning. Going to see if my placenta was anterior when I talk to midwife at next apt. Just sucks to not feel much yet

 

[TTCaWee1]

Oh Ashlee just wait until she's so big that her movements wake you up from a dead sleep bc she's doing back flips. It'll come. It sucks waiting. Mine first felt like when you have a muscle quiver, only inside my belly if that makes sense.

 

[clynn11]

Weird you describe it like that Rachel- I was getting that feeling last night and was like "WTF is going on." Much to early to be feeling baby though I think! Weird.

 

[jury3]

Ashlee-I'm sorry about the puking...I'll take my aches and pains over being nauseous/puking any day.
At my 20 week apt I remember saying I was feeling movement but no distinguishable kicks. Literally later that week I started feeling kicks. Little Lux is just around the corner from kicking you like crazy I know the wait sucks though, I was so disappointed I wasn't feeling much yet.

Sandy-That's so long to wait!!! I would definitely call back and demand an u/s before that. It was horrible waiting that long to find out the gender, I can't imagine not being able to see the hb and see how many there are before that point.

Rachel-I'm glad to hear it isn't pre-e...Sucks you're having pain like that though.

Drank my oj and counted movements. I did feel her move at least 5 times within an hour, so I guess that's ok. Maybe I should start counting kicks everyday...

 

[frsttimemama]

Rachel, glad it's not pre-e! Hope you feel better soon! Yes, I'm from Indiana.

Julie, glad you felt more movement! So scary!

I'm going to call back and talk to this docto's nurse and NOT triage. My doctor will be back late February so I will ask them when she's back, too. My doc promised to check for velamentous cord insertion so I'm sure she will.. she just needs to come back to work! Lol.

 

[wavescrash]

Ashlee - I have an anterior placenta and I didn't feel any regular or strong movement until after I got into the third trimester. It really sucked lol. Now she's moving just like I remember it feeling lol. However Morgan has an anterior placenta and started feeling regular movements earlier than I did. When I found out about my placenta I asked everywhere and everyone said they felt regular movements but 24-25 weeks so you're almost there if that's the case.

 

[morganwhite7]

Yeah ^wss..

Buttt I do notice that all the movement I feel is NOT in the front, mostly just on my "cervix trampoline" and now in my ribs.. Not much ever going on in the front like I'd expect, it's strange!

I do agree though.. from 20 to 22 weeks I had a HUGE increase in movement. Began to be able to say HEY that was definitely a kick! Not just tiny spasm/twitches like they felt like early on. I don't understand the "popcorn" analogy.. but w/e.. lolol

 

[asmcsm]

Thanks Amanda, that's comforting. I just keep seeing everyone saying that they've been feeling since 14-16 weeks and wondering what the heck is going on in there! I know she's moving around cuz both US she was a mover and a shaker but not feeling it.

 

[asmcsm]

I do every once in a while get pains in my cervix repeatedly and wonder if she's kickin me down there! I definitely got the popcorn feeling the other night though, was so weird feeling. felt like little bubbles popping around in my belly.

 

[wavescrash]

With my first I didn't feel any movement until 19 weeks but it's been so long I forget what the first movements felt like. Hannah I felt more around 15 weeks and it got stronger from there.

Morgan - I had lots of rib pain or cervix and bladder pain but in the last 3 weeks or so, I've had lots of the movements up front that I remember. I can see limbs sticking out or rubbing across. She'll stick her head or butt up from one side. I'm constantly getting kicked and punched straight out my belly now along with the rib pain and cervix kicks lol. I've had lightning crotch so bad in the last week lol.

 

[frsttimemama]

I had an anterior placenta too, and I didn't feel regular movements until 21-22I weeks. Even then, it was not in the front.. high, low, and the sides. Gosh I can't wait for that!

 

[morganwhite7]

Waves- Yaaaaaay so much to look forward to! Lol I just remember the sciatica getting OUTTA control last time, hoping it doesn't come back. I'm just so glad to be done puking everyday. I feel so bad, I wanted a belly sooo much and now that I've got a more than proper bump I'm like- get her outtttt now! Trying so hard to "cherish" these moments but it's hard when the skin on my belly feels like paper mache getting ready to crack and tear at any moment!! Lol. I am such a planner/thinker/overanalyzer and these next 2 months are going to drain me. Esp with working up until the end. I swear I just sit here from 8-5 daydreaming about this baby, it can't be healthy lol.

I can't believe you're so far along.. almost time to start that EPO/RLT!!!
