Hellobee Boards

Ok ladies! Had our anatomy scan today......
It's a GIRL!!! I'm totally in shock, even though I had a feeling from the beginning it was a girl. I think I'm in shock that I'm actually having a second baby! So many on this board!

@OhCaptain: sucks huh? What kind of weight lifting were you doing. I was just doing the Les Mills Pump program...I lost 12 pounds doing it for 3 months. I'm definitely getting back to that after baby!

@lulibee: I had finished the program "new rules of lifting for women." By Alwyn cosgrove, I loved it! After that I was sort of bouncing around training plans and then I got pregnant. Right now I'm following the workouts on http://www.crossfitmom.com or just doing my own thing, but at about half my weight. After baby comes I think I'm going to check out Jen Sinkler's "lift weights faster" program. It's like body pump, lower/medium weights for higher reps for fat loss.

@MrsStar: @OhCaptain: congrats on your little ladies!

So exciting as the anatomy scan results come in!

@MrsStar: @OhCaptain: Congrats on having a girl!

Just two more days until I find out! I can't wait!

@OhCaptain: yay!! Congrats

Congrats on all of the good anatomy scans! I worry a bit about ya'll too, so I'm relieved they're all going well! And all these girls!

Those who are feeling movement, do you find it distracting? I keep laying in bed at night focusing on her instead of trying to sleep! It definitely keeps me up, but only because I'm focusing on it, not because it's big enough to keep me awake.

@Torchwood: Yes! Or sometimes lose focus at a meeting at work because I'm focusing on the movement.

@Torchwood: I'm not feeling baby enough yet for it to be too distracting. Usually just for a few mins in the AM or before bed, then it disappears.

@lilteacherbee: That's adorable about the kids noticing and rubbing your belly!! The most unoffensive random belly rubs for sure, much better than strangers in a grocery store!

@MrsStar: @OhCaptain: Congrats on your girls, mama!! Girlies taking over the August board

Loving all these reveals! When are everyone's anatomy scan/reveal dates? Lots to look forward to.

@getjazzy: I have an appt next Friday, where I'll be 16+4. I don't think they'll do the scan then though Will probably have to wait until 20 weeks - boo

I have an ultrasound appt for tomorrow 3/13. I'll be 16+3. My OB sends her patients to a perinatologist for ultrasounds so they have good machines. She said (my OB) that they should be able to tell gender. AHHH! I am trying not to get my hopes up, but basically, really getting my hopes up that they will be able to tell tomorrow. If not, I'll have a regular anatomy scan at 20 wks.

So I weighed myself this morning and I've gained 3.5 lbs in 2 weeks Need to slow down a little!!!

@getjazzy: My anatomy scan is Tuesday after next-- 3/24!

@raspberries: Lolol the weirdest! That dream was so graphic and I cannot stop thinking about it! I must be having some anxiety about breastfeeding, or just baby anxiety in general. Bc I also have a recurring dream where I totally forget about the baby and neglect it. Like realize it's been 24 hrs since I fed it or even saw it. And DH (in the dream) doesn't understand why that's a big deal. Lol!

@Mrs.Scientist: @FliegepilzHut: @MrsADS: we are all getting so close! You too @lulibee: just hang in there!

@mrs. microscope: @lulibee @ms. rv @lilteacherbee glad to know i'm not the only one who has had an increase in appetite! i'm 16 weeks tomorrow and i've only gained about 2 lbs so maybe that is it?? maybe the fact that i sit at a computer all day for work has something to do with it too...

@buttermilk: i loooove my dog but haven't had that dream yet. dh and i talk to the dog all the time about the baby, though. our dog is a 90lb lab so hoping a similar dream doesn't happen. yikes!! i have definitely had dreams about forgetting to feed the baby, though!! i get so anxious in the dreams about it...

I realized I wasn't on the list so I just added myself - hope y'all don't mind!

Is anyone else having a lot of weird cramps/pain? I am pretty sure it's just round ligament pain, everything stretching out, but sometimes I get a little nervous.

*Sometimes* it feels almost like menstrual cramps, even in my back a little, but it usually goes away after a few minutes. Mostly, it's like weird zaps of pain in my lower abdomen or almost in my crotch.

I am guessing this is probably ok, but... anyone else?

@MrsADS: I've had these as well - sometimes they feel like menstrual cramps, but like yours, they don't last but a few seconds at a time. I think it might be the uterus pressing on the intestines too -- my constipation has started to get worse

@LauraBear: I didnt' even have the NT scan I guess there is the option to do the ultrasound + bloodwork (which has to be done earlier on) or just bloodwork - so next week is when I think I do the bloodwork. That's why I have a feeling they're gonna make me wait until 20 weeks to do just the anatomy scan

@lulibee: oh boo! Yeah, I'm 31 and low-risk so didn't have to do it but we decided to go for the ultrasound and bloodwork cause the midwife said we would only have the anatomy ultrasound if we didn't. I was kind of naive and ended up being anxious throughout the scan because it took almost 40 minutes for them to get all the pictures they needed. So maybe just bloodwork is the way to go?
