@mrskc: Congrats!
@pui: Glad your appointment went well!
-
Booked my ultrasound for April 1st! I can't wait to find out if we're having a girl or boy!
Both my SIL and sister are having girls, so I'm kind of hoping we're having a boy for some variety!
-
@pui: yay!! I'm the opposite - there are only boys on my DH's side of the family so I'm hoping for a girl (DH is hoping for a boy, of course) I have my anatomy scan on April 1st also.
Guys, did you see that there's a November 2014 board already??? That means we're getting there!
-
@pui: @chibee: I'm booked for April 1st too, but we are finding out early (for free!!!!) on March 12th. Eeeee.
I'm home sick today with a fever. Silly husband is in doctor's offices all day and (shocker) we both got the crud that's been going around. I've only been at my job for 6 weeks and I'm so upset to already be missing. At my previous 2 jobs (4.5 yrs of working) I never took a single sick day. I'm so worried that I look bad.
-
Question for anyone! I am going to my perinatologist next Monday for a cervix length check - I researched and found that they do this through a transvaginal ultrasound. Do you think it's possible they could peek at the baby's sex during this? Otherwise, I'm booked for an elective on the 15th to find out, but I figured they're already there, can't they just peek??
-
@chibee: That's crazy!! I still feel sooo newly pregnant!!
@BakerBee: Oh no!!
I got a 12 hour flu my 3rd day of my new job!! I ended up going in, because how am I going to take a sick day so soon?! This is my 6th week now, so I know how sick you must have to be I hope you feel better QUICK!
-
@BakerBee: don't feel bad - most work places would rather you stay home when you are that sick anyway. Don't strain yourself and get plenty of rest!
@swurlygurl: i do too, at almost 16 weeks (omg 4 months!) i still feel like it's all a dream??? especially now that the morning sickness is gone!
-
@chibee: They should totally be able to take a peak. Doesn't hurt to ask.
@swurlygurl @chibee: I'm hoping they are glad I'm staying away. It's a small office (4 people) and I don't think they would want me to come in and get everyone sick. Luckily I called and said I was going to remote in and so they know I'm working. I'm just doing it in bed with my two puppies and pajamas.
-
We had an eventful weekend. We announced our pregnancy on facebook - just a bump picture, nothing well-planned. I also painted the nursery a nice gender-neutral aqua color. I wanted to get the room painted before finding out the sex (10 days left, OMG) so I could make sure it was definitely neutral. Its the first thing we've really done to prep for baby so it feels like a big step
-
@mrst927: I totally get where you're coming from! I have struggled with my weight/self image most of my adult life and am either in full time dieting mode or free for all! So far I have turned my back to the scale at the doctor's office bc I know I would freak to see the number. However, this had also enabled me to continue eating whatever I want so I don't know what's better... I have been trying to go to the gym a couple times a week though... I totally commiserate, though!!
@mrskc: Yay!! How exciting!!!
@jennypenny: congrats on announcing! I enjoyed it more than I thought I would

EDD: Aug 4th
How far along? 18 weeks today
Team pink, blue or green? If you don't know yet, when will you find out? We find out on Friday!!
Feeling any movement yet? I think so...??? Mostly in the evenings
Symptoms? Actually feeling pretty good lately
Most excited about: finding out the sex, having movement dh can feel, meeting the baby!!
Most worried/nervous about: pretty much everything. I am pretty neurotic/paranoid...I've gotten much better recently but still worry about how's the baby doing
purchase any baby gear yet? A dresser. And A friend actually gave us our first onesie this weekend...so small!!! Can't believe a human will be wearing that in 4 short months!!p.s. I am correct that I am 5 months pregnant today, correct?? I know the weeks-to months don't match up like I previously thought they did...(like divide by 4 to figure out the months) just hope I'm not telling people the wrong info!!! Lol
-
@Apples4Teacher: So exciting that you get to find out on Friday! I get confused on the weeks/months thing too. This is what babycenter says: http://www.babycenter.com/0_how-pregnant-am-i-pregnancy-by-weeks-months-and-trimesters_10326878.bc
@chibee: They should be able to peek then! I forget how many weeks you are, but they can definitely tell the sex with a transvaginal. My NT scan was transvaginal because my uterus is tilted and you could definitely see the crotch (though obviously it's hard to tell at 12 w).
-
Is anyone feeling movement yet? I keep feeling like I feel something but I'm only 14w3d so it's probably digestion and/or wishful thinking!
-
@mrs. 64: i wish! i try really hard to pay attention but nothing. my ob said she doesn't really expect me to feel anything until much later on so i'm not concerned! but i can't wait! what does it feel like?
-
@mrs. 64: I'm 15w2d and sometimes I do feel what I think it's something, but I'm not sure! I can't wait until it becomes more obvious!
-
@chibee: Hard to describe, but kinda like a bubble maybe? I'm pretty sure I'm just delusional though. I have probably felt that my entire life and just now paid attention.
-
@chibee: mine feel like solid thumps.
-
I think I'm starting to feel something, but it hasn't been clear or consistent enough to really believe its baby
It helps to be lying down and relatively still.
-
I'm pretty sure I have felt the baby kinda roll around. I have felt pops that may be kicks but the rolls feel exactly like what it felt like with #1.
-
@chibee: with M the first time I was absolute sure...the best way I could describe it is the vertical rolling motion of a lava lamp might feel like in your stomach! LOL
-
@locavore_mama: Yes, a lava lamp is a good way of describing it. A lava lamp that is hard and can push.
-
@locavore_mama: A lava lamp is a PERFECT description! I was going to say kind of like the baby is on a roller coaster, but that's just weird... haha!
-
@swurlygurl: That's so funny, I was going to say when I really focus on it, it feels like the baby is riding waves.
-
Sometimes I think I feel something. When I actually lay still and pay attention. But I have anterior placenta again this time so it will probably be a few more weeks before I start feeling consistent movement.
-
AHH. Question.... I just felt two random flicks from the left front part of my stomach. Like literally something is flicking me from the inside. Is that the baby kicking? FREAKING OUT.
-
@mrskc: what do yours feel like?
-
@bakerbee: Sounds like it's your baby moving/ kicking to me!
-
@sera_87: I've felt like little thumps or like someone is flicking me on the inside. I've also thought I've felt the lava lamp/wave like feeling others have described. It's so faint tho. I'm not 100% sure it's the baby. We had an ultrasound friday and she was moving around like crazy and I couldn't feel any of it.
-
Thanks Mrs. 64. This was the page I was looking at that says I'm five months
http://www.baby2see.com/pregnancylength.html
And this:
http://domesticingenuity.wordpress.com/2013/06/23/making-sense-of-the-pregnancy-countdown/How crazy that sources can be so different! According to babycenter I just started 4 months but according to the others I just started 5....bizarre!!!
The movement I think is baby feels like thumps...almost like when my heart beats hard...still not totally sure it's the baby though and not just bodily functions haha
-
I had my appointment today and all is well. The doc had a hard time catching the HB on the doppler, so she pulled out the US machine. She tried for a while to figure out the gender, but baby wasn't cooperating, oh well! I'll schedule the anatomy scan for around 18 weeks.
-
@Mrs.Someone: scary!!! Glad all is well.
-
@Mrs.Someone: glad all is ok with the baby! Must have been neat to she him/her tho!
-
@Mrs.Someone: Yikes that must have been scary. So glad baby is doing well!
-
@locavore_mama: @mrskc: @mrs. 64: Thanks ladies! It was a little scary, though she insisted she was able to find it, just not loud enough for me to hear. That's why she pulled out the US, I didn't even have to ask
And she tried pretty hard to find the gender. I would've felt guilty finding out without DH there, but of course I wanted to know!
-
EDD: Aug 6th
How far along? 18.3 weeks today
Team pink, blue or green? If you don't know yet, when will you find out? Team Pink!
Feeling any movement yet? Yes! More and more each day. ( I have heard if your placenta is posterior, you will feel it sooner)
Symptoms? Still short of breath and some fatigue. Occasional nausea. My boobs wont stop growing!
Most excited about: Starting to decorate the nursery!
Most worried/nervous about: Finding childcare for after maternity leave!
purchase any baby gear yet? No, but will have to start soon! Have crib picked out already!Congratulations everyone! I have missed so much! So excited to hear as everyone gets further along.
-
@JennyPenny: ooo do you have any pics of the room with the new paint? i love seeing peoples nurseries.
@chibee: i would ask for a quick peek! i don't see why they couldn't!
@Claire.Peonies: congrats on your baby girl!!!
@Mrs.Someone: glad the baby is doing well! and that you got an extra peek at the baby!
