Baby has been going mad tonight and I started feeling him on the out side. I'm sat here with a glass of cold water and a chocolate bar beside me waiting for DH to come in so I can get him moving again and try to see if DH can feel him.
I'm really looking forward to that stage where you get a little bump stick out and if you try to hold it it moves away or if you push it in it kicks back out at you harder LOL
I know, I love the stage when they are moving all over. Except for my second. He was sideways toward the end and would do this wicked stretch which pushed out on both sides at once and hurt!
I'm 18 weeks tomorrow and still not feeling movements. Hope everything's okay in there.

Yeah I'm thinking maybe I have an anterior placenta as well, I'll have to ask at the next scan. I guess I just assumed that being baby number 3 I'd feel movements a bit earlier.
I'm hoping this one doesn't stay transverse, that big stretch doesn't sound like fun! Plus that puts an end to my home birth plans LOL
It's still a long way away and bub will be moving around a lot, but if the baby is still transverse, you can go see a chiropractor late in pregnancy to do the "Webster Technique". With DS2, they were talking about having to do a c section if he didn't turn. I was going to the chiro anyway for my back and mentioned it to them and they did the Webster and he moved! It does something where it loosens the ligaments up or something so the baby get get out of that stuck position and move on where they should be.Quote:

He may have already, I just don't think he has because of the movements but who knows.
I havent been really feeling the baby wither and I will be 18 weeks on wed. Its making me nervous. I always had allot of activity with all my other pregnancies by now. Hope everything is fine on wed.
WHo else has scans this week?
