I did feel some early movement with this one at 14 weeks but it's really rare I feel anything at all! It's hardly ever. By now my son was a daily mover and I could feel it but this one is so different. Is it just because maybe I have more room in my uterus? I don't get it.
Suregena my baby is the same. I felt something early on around 14 weeks and then nothing for weeks and now I may get a day where I feel bubs 4 or so times but then I go a few days with nothing.. I dont know why. I mean I know my placenta is in front but Im sure I was feeling DS2 by 17 weeks all the time and I had an anterior placenta like him. Maybe it is more all over this time. I really dont know. Sucks as I really dont want to use my doppler but I have no idea if bubs is ok in there and I get nervous. Just know you are not alone :) Im sure our babies are fine x
I only feel bubs when im slouched over on the computer, and its always to the side never at the front.
Completely heartbreaking. Made me feel physically sick. I just have no words really. I break out in goosebumps whenever I think of it.Quote:

I think letting your heart walk out the door every day is one of the hardest parts of being a parent.
What is even sadder though is that this will happen again, and again, until serious reforms are made to weapon laws. Yet the law makers are quoted as saying that "now is not the time" really?!!?! Actually you know what, they are right, NOW isn't the time, the time was 60 or so years ago, when the rest of the civilised world introduced legislative weapon controls.
You can't change the fact that people will have mental illnesses, and will want to do unspeakable things. What you CAN change though is the fact that anyone can buy any deadly weapon, at any time, with which to create mass murder. Which is why I don't subscribe to the saying 'guns don't kill, it's insane people who kill' you will never be able to take the insane out of people, but you can take guns away, which means the insane will have lesser means by which to commit such atrocities.
It's not an accident, or a coincidence that in countries where weapons laws are strict (like Australia and Sweden) have significantly lower crime rates, and significantly lowers firearms deaths, and of course no massacres like what the states seem to have more and more often.
(For example, in Australia the firearm death per 100,000 is 1.04, in the states it's 10.80.....that's over 10 times higher!!!!) and no people aren't dying left right and centre because they 'don't have guns to protect themselves' in fact the crime rates are significantly lower!
The person guilty for the deaths of those children is the man who pulled the trigger, but blood is also on the hands of the government and law makers that refuse, despite massacre after massacre, to protect the greater population.
Those horrendously realistic shooting games that kids/teenagers spend hours playing don't help society either, it desensitises them from death, and for those susceptible to mental issues it blurs the lines between reality and virtual.
I'm very old school, but there is no game, or fun, or triviality in shooting, murder.
I have a very strict no toy guns in my home, DS never has, and never will own a toy gun, he will not ever pretend to shoot and murder, because that's not a game, never should be, and never will be.
I'll get off my soapbox now.....
See we used to be strict with toy guns too but ds1 would just make them out of sandwiches and sticks lol but banning them just turned into more of a obsession bc he couldn't have them. I actually talked to our pediatrician about it and she agreed.
So I let him have one but he's not allowed to shoot it at people and he knows that
I agree, too many "games" with killing people. It's not a game.
but I also talk to Ds1, a lot about guns, and what to do if a friend has one or if he's in a house with one. Hes little but the reality is ,you never know if they are playing at someones house and the parents didn't lock theirs up...
I am finally feeling the a baby a little more now too! And also when I'm sitting. Never laying down which Is weird
I'm still not feeling it much -- the occasional slither or bubble, but I was feeling my last one regularly by now. I'm relieved to know that I'm not the only one. It's been making me nervous.
Oh lassie I wish you could help me talk sense I to people here. They keep saying its not lack of gun control. I call BS on that. You my friend are right...100% right. It is no coincidence that where you live is safer than where I live.
Looks like we are having a little GIRL!!!
Thanks everyone for your support!

Congrats!!! I was hoping you would update soon!
Congrats ttp!
Congratulations TTP!!!!! So very happy for you!! I hope that brought you a smile on this rather dark day.
It certainly made me smile and not much has today :) Happy Shopping :):)
Yay!!! Congrats!!
Big congrats!!!
Congratulations TTP!!!! So happy for you... Have fun shopping!!!
Shell, I'm still not feeling much either. Little movements here and there, but definitely nothing regular. I totally remember feeling ds3 a lot more by now. I've been totally freaked out and checking her hb almost daily now. The other day I was so freaked out I started crying. I couldn't find her hb... It took me a good 10 minutes to find it. Scared the crap out of me.Quote:

I am almost 21 weeks and don't feel much movement at all!!! Stupid anterior placenta...lol
I wanted to add that I have not felt a whole lot of movement out of this one, either. (And oddly, I have a *posterior* placenta.) Especially compared to my wild-child DS, which felt like he was rocking it Gangnam style from week 14 on!! :D
However, at the scan today, she was kicking, squirming, flipping, and turning so fast that the sonographer kept commenting, "This baby is on fire!" It took her almost 30 minutes to find "confirmable" girl parts...we'd see something for a nanosecond, then she would shimmy to the other side of my uterus. Quite entertaining...but a little anxiety-provoking, as I was hoping for a more "laid-back" newborn this time around--HA!
Congrats TTP! :)
Hi ladies! Man...have I missed a lot or what??? I am so sorry to have been gone for so long. I got caught up in x-mas and now this shooting just has me all upset and emotional. I just wish there was something I could do. I feel so sad and helpless. It has definitely been such an eye opener and I have a new found grasp on how precious life is...especially every child out there.
Congrats to all who have found out about gender! I am going to go an update the main page now!
Thanks for checking in! I was starting to worry about you!Quote:

ugh so speaking of sickness. my sil and my mom (who is staying there) along with her twins are all sick. my sil i think had the flu or something close to
well my brother had it earlier in the week and was barely sick and my nephew too . for like a day
but they stopped by today unexpectedly. i was kind of irritated. i made the kids and i washed my hands after they left. but i hope they didnt give us any germs. my brother kept sayin they havent been sick for days and arent contagious. but im freaking pregnant AGAIN and paranoid. ughhhh
Ugh! That drives me crazy! I hope no one gets sick!
Hi ladies. Just checking in. I have been avoiding the Internet since yesterday. I am just ill over what happened in CT and am too emotional to see all about it (selfish I know, but it just makes me cry). Will check back in a few days. Hoping everyone is well :)
NOW I felt an actual moving baby!!!!!!!! woohoo finally
woohoo Spinning! Move baby move!
I feel my little bub quite often now, he seems to sleep a lot but when he does move I feel everything. He loves to kick y bladder and lower regions. I am in the bathroom peeing a lot! haha
It's always when I'm sitting up. Which is weird bc ds1 I always felt more when I was laying down.
My Christmas nails I did today

That's too darn cute!! Yeah it took me a few times to get them on good.
if only more people thought like you Rosie, there would considerably less innocent deaths....just under 12,000 per year to be exact.Quote:
