Hellobee Boards

@mrsjyw: Mine is next Wednesday too and I can not wait!!!!! We haven't seen this little dude since I was 7w, so we have never seen his little face. I'm super nervous though!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: I love the name! Opinions are like --a---holes, everyone has them and they usually stink We don't even tell people our name lists because we don't want any feedback. As my mom pointed out, everyone loves the name when they see the baby...or it's just too late to do anything about.

I'm sorry for all of you still having nausea. You guys are troopers...I can't imagine.
I am 20 weeks today --- halfway there! And anatomy scan is Thursday, but I'm pretty sure we're going to stay Team Green i just want to see the babe...heshe is so quiet in there (but still regular movement) compared to the big sister who was moving and groovin and showing off for everyone by now.

@simplyfelicity: I still take a tablet at night. If I don't take it, I know about it the next day

@ValentineMommy: Tor-in is right! That is how it should be pronounced.

@simplyfelicity: you probably have! I know they saw first time mamas don't feel movement as early but mainly because they don't really know what they're feeling!!

I had an anterior placenta with DS and felt him move consistently from 19 weeks. But at that point it was big movements so I'm sure I missed the tiny ones

I have a posterior placenta this time and I swear I've felt the baby move since just before 11 weeks!!

@simplyfelicity: Oh that is great that you felt baby move! And that your DH was able to feel it too! My DH is still anxiously awaiting til he can feel the movements.

Anyone else notice their appetite starting to ramp up? Mine has been pretty much taking over the last few days. But, I'm too lazy/tired to go to the store!

@Reese: I know right?! And, sorry you're going through so much Sending you strength

@simplyfelicity: yay! I had an anterior placenta with DS, felt flutters around 18/19 weeks, kicks a few weeks later, and I think DH felt the first kicks around 22 weeks from the outside.

This time I have a posterior placenta and I've been feeling baby flutters since 13/14 weeks. The last couple of weeks I feel baby pretty consistently throughout the day! I'm still getting used to feeling movement so early! The other day I was sitting in the bath and I swear I saw belly movement when baby kicked! Such a different experience than last time!

@Reese: I'm so sorry you're dealing with so much extra! I will be thinking of you and a swift and smooth procedure!

@TheSwissWifeStyle: Love Landon! We didn't tell close friends or family until the final few weeks. More because we didn't finalize until then, but even with that, to leave the door for peanut gallery comments to a short interval of time! Thankfully ILs liked our choice.

@TheSwissWifeStyle: Not terrible! I told all of my friends who were pregnant near me last time our name choice Thankfully no overlaps, but a distant friend of DH's used the name for their third DS the following year. :\

@TheSwissWifeStyle: Mine was HUGE from about 16-19 weeks. It was like the more I ate, the hungrier I got. I noted that in my pregnancy journal with DD1 and it was about 15-16 weeks. I think that explains my 8lb weight gain in 4 weeks....oh my gosh! But it has calmed down significantly at 20 weeks. I eat very normal meals and barely snack. I'm sure it'll ramp up again soon!
@Reese: so scary! At least everyone caught it and knows what to do with it. I'm sorry you're dealing with that now. @ValentineMommy: I mentioned that I'm also having very little movements as compared to DD1. Your midwife's explanation made me feel better...DD wasn't huge, but I can imagine things are more stretched out in there...they are everywhere else! I have the constant movement but it's still sooo light...still like the goldfish feeling, whereas DD was full blown kicks and punches/making belly move crazy in there.

@ValentineMommy: I am 19 weeks as of yesterday but so far have only felt flutters once a few weeks ago, at least I haven't been able to identify any other occurrences. I am getting anxious to start feeling the baby by my OB said it was still early. It sure was moving around during my u/s last week though.

@Reese: That sounds very scary! You are really being a trooper. Thinking of you.

@simplyfelicity: How fun to feel baby finally! Isn't it so exciting when DH can feel it too? Mine was kicking furiously the other night so while we were watching TV DH just rested his hand on my belly and was so thrilled to feel baby so active.

I started seeing a chiropractor today because my tailbone & hips have been getting really achy. The chiropractor said my hips/glutes are really tense and did a lot of muscle work. Felt amazing, like the world's longest pigeon pose in yoga!

@Reese:

@mrsjyw: How was your scan?!

Eta: oops! Just saw yours is next wednesday.

@Bluemasonjar: @Candy_nee: Glad I'm not the only one! I wanna feel this dude! It's making me really anxious.

@Candy_nee: Yay for a good appointment!!

@Candy_nee: Yay to see the little man again!

@Mama Bird: Thanks I feel like I am very quickly expanding too

Little man is moving around so much and that makes me worried so it just goes to show we will worry one way or another. Yesterday you could clearly see the movements from the outside.. I'm afraid of when he gets bigger! I predict this being painful.

@MrsMccarthy: thanks!

@Reese: that's so cute! I wouldn't worry. There will be other Landons but its not as common as some names. My sons name is Tor and slowly we have started seeing a few pop up here and there. Congrats and wishing you the best of luck for your upcoming surgery!

@Candy_nee: yay for a great appointment.
I had pre-e with my first pregnancy too, so I'm super paranoid.. here's to hoping for better this time
