Hellobee Boards

@lilteacherbee: Have fun at your anatomy scan today!

@yin: Congrats!

@yin: Woohoo! Congrats!
@lilteacherbee: Good luck & have fun today!

@lilteacherbee: so excited for you today!!

@lilteacherbee: Aww, don't you love those ultrasound pics?

@lilteacherbee: look how cute he looks already!

@lilteacherbee: I'm glad everything went well! I had an anterior placenta with DS and it really did make movements hard for me to feel...BTW, I was not told I had an anterior placenta until I went to MFM at 40w, but I obviously had it all along. It would have really made me worry less about not feeling movements had I had that small piece of info! Glad you know now so you can have a little piece of mind in that aspect. Hope your labs go quickly!

@MrsCB: @MrsTiz: @sweetooth: @Ash: Thanks, I think he's pretty darn cute myself

@anbanan15: Yes, I'm really glad the ultrasound tech told me as well. At 15 weeks I had flutters that I'm 90% sure were baby, but I haven't felt anything since. I check on him with the doppler at home and I can hear him moving, so I haven't been too worried, but I'm glad that I know not to expect anything for awhile.

@MrsDragon: I know, it's crazy!! He was moving and jumping around and I couldn't feel a thing!

So they called back and said there was such a small amount of the antibody this time that they're not worried at all. They're having DH tested for the antigen just to be safe. I went to the MFM office to pick up the lab slip for DH and I asked them wht my next appointment on July 9th would entail. The receptionist said that they have me down for an ultrasound! I was really surprised because I thought the 17 week anatomy scan would be the last one. I know the NP said they could use an ultrasound to see if the antibody was crossing the placenta (or something like that), so maybe that's why. I'm just happy to have another chance to see little Nathan!

Just got home from our anatomy scan...baby is a BOY!

Everything seemed okay, though of course the tech wasn't allowed to tell us (results have to be interpreted by a doc). She did take some extra measurements because my placenta was looking a little close to the cervix. The placenta usually moves up when the uterus moves up, so she said if it was too close, then they'd just keep an eye on things to ensure the placenta moves up. I'm a little nervous, because if the placenta doesn't move away from the cervix, I won't be able to have a vaginal birth. But, I'm just trying not to think about it.

Instead I can focus on my boy. That is so strange, in the best way.

@lilteacherbee: Thank you!

Sorry mamas, I've been MIA on HB lately :(.

Looks like we have a lot of November boys! We have our anatomy scan scheduled for next Tue on the 18th. Can't wait to find out!!!

@DigAPony: Congrats on your baby boy :)!

@MrsTiz: We have the same appt date for anatomy scan :).

@DigAPony: Awe, congratulations!

Our ultrasound is scheduled for July 12th and oh my gosh, I can't wait!

@DigAPony: aw yaaaayyy! I'm so happy there are turning out to be so many boys!

@kokobee: any guesses as to what you are having?

@Maysprout: Congrats on your girl! I think you're the third - that I can think of. So far NeekieRose and MrsDragon are both having girls.

@sweetooth: oh nice. I was trying to quickly scroll through and just saw boy, boy, boy boy boy.

@ms.janedoe: love the list!

@ms.janedoe: list looks great!

I don't know why I didn't mention it here but I had my 20 week appointment today and my ultrasound is actually tomorrow morning at the pernintologist. It doesn't need to be on the list or anything.

Today went good, got to hear baby for a long time because I was recording it for DH. I gained FOUR pounds last month. Holllyyy shittt! She didn't seem concerned, she didn't even say anything about it actually but it freaked me out! So for 20 weeks of pregnancy i've gained 9.5 lbs! eek! I'm not going to stay near 20-25 for sure!

@lilteacherbee: I think the reason i'm upset over weight gain is because in my dreams the weight i'm at now would be the max I wanted to end pregnancy at. I started off about 30lbs higher than I should have been and my doctor told me to gain ~.5 lb in the second tri a week and I gained a whole pound a week haha!

I wish I had gotten a doppler for the early stages, I just kept forgetting to order it and now i'm passed the worry stage so I just as soon forget it

I've heard weight gain can fluctuate a lot, and that just because you gain in the beginning, doesn't mean you'll stay at the same rate your entire pregnancy. A lot of women get so cramped when the baby's in the last months they barely eat.

I'm the weirdo that's still down about 15 pounds so far. But I was much heavier than you guys to begin with. Luckily the OB wasn't all that concerned. My mom keeps saying I'll gain weight eventually. But it would be nice if I don't! My weight was really getting up there after I got off BC because my PCOS started getting out of control. I was really worried I'd be one of those people that would gain like 50 pounds in pregnancy and then I'd be even larger and not be able to lose the weight.

@kokobee: Hope your appointment goes well today!! Update us after!
