Due in December 2014 - Jan/Feb 2015

I felt my first ds kick at 16 weeks. DS 2 was 14 weeks and ds3 was 19 weeks. With ds3 I was heavier and my placenta was more anterior for a bit.

Angie I can't wait for your scan!!

belledandy- My first one I felt at 18 wks and I felt this little guy at 13 wks! My nurse sounded like she didn't believe me but I even got in on video- lol- hopefully it doesn't mean he's going to be a crazy one.

My baby is moving like crazy. DS1 is disappointed that he can't feel it on my belly, but I told him he'll be able to feel her kicks soon.

I think I've got most of you beat, heat-wise. It was 113 F today, and then it started raining. It cooled down to the 90's, but it means tomorrow will be HUMID and it's already predicted to be over 100F. Ugh. I walked into the grocery store to grab some stuff, and it had just started dribbling a few drops. By the time I was done, it was pouring down in buckets, and I had unwittingly parked in a low spot in the parking lot. Soooo... I ended up running through 8 inches of water to load up my car. Oh, and by the time I got home, it had stopped raining altogether. Ugh, gotta love the desert monsoons!

oh wow lilith, 100's? i wonder how you stay cool there.

i didn't know feeling baby kicking had to do with placenta location too, but i am heavier now than i was with my two boys, so i guess i probably have to wait a little longer to feel my girl kick.

angielorna, i know how you feel..being edgy about baby. now that my symptoms are getting milder, i'm getting anxious too and cant wait for my 16th week check up in 2 weeks.

Weight actually doesn't affect your ability to feel movement since you feel it in the inside. It might take you longer to feel it on the outside though.

I felt DS1 and DS2 at 14 weeks. I didn't feel DD until 22 weeks due to an anterior placenta. I just turned 18 weeks on Saturday and when I went to bed that night I felt baby on the side finally. I don't know where my placenta is located, but I'm speculating it may be more anterior due to the late feeling of movement and it only being to the side since this is exactly how it was with DD. My only other rationalization for late movement is that it may be a nerve issue due to DD being an emergency c-section less than a year ago.

Yeah, placenta placement can play a really big role in movement. My first son was at least 20 weeks (anterior top placement). My second son was 14 weeks (anterior center location). And my daughter was 16 weeks (anterior left placement). I am keeping my fingers crossed for a posterior placenta this time!! Lol.

Wanna hear a funny? Or maybe it's just ironic. So...guess what makes me gag and throw up and makes me so nauseous it actually makes me crabby?? Ill give you a hint...I have two children in full-time cloth diapers and five dogs (with a backyard to clean up daily). Yep...it's poop. GREAT. Lol. Maybe I can just pawn off backyard clean-up and most the poopy diaper cleaning to DH??! Not likely. But it's just kinda funny. Never has been an issue for me before!

Oh hotdogz poop is so awful when you have pregnancy sickies. Ds3 wears cloth too but the smell of ammonia was really getting to me from the wet bag so I put him in sposies for a bit. Lol.

My two are also in cloth but we're taking a break because I needed it. My morning sickness is getting worse and worse too so I don't know when I'll go back to it!

Sad to hear about your sickness getting worse abi...I am glad I'm not the only one skipping the cloth because of the smells though, oh and the work they come with. I'm just too lazy right now!

Yesterday I didn't feel good and I was like oh my morning sickness kicked in. Nope. It's gone again. What gives?! Lol. I have a major headache though today so it's good I'm being spared of the tummy issues.

Well, had my ultrasound today. And my no symptoms = a baby with a wonderful heartbeat, measuring ahead from 2 weeks ago :)
My 1st u/s I measured 6w1d and exactly 2 weeks later, 8w6d. The tech said they will go with the first measurements (which I think is funny, bc if I didn't have an earlier scan, they'd never know). So, needless to say, I am super relieved. She didn't say anything about if she could see where the blood was coming from. She just said I have nothing to worry about, good heartbeat, good growth and her report will hit my drs when she has time to get it done.

And when she let me hear the heartbeat, I recorded it :)

All in all, that's all great news. Whew.

Angie

P.S. and there is still just one!!!
