June Chit Chat

No way HappyLea. No wonder you are going crazy! I hope you can find out sooner. You have been wanting to know for so long.

Hi Princess. Congrats on your little boy. Have you told your girls yet? I bet they would be super excited.

Hello and welcome princess, congratulations on your :DS:

Well i have asked DH if we can go for another gender scan but he said no :( i have to wait! He said he wont pay another £65 when we are getting a scan in 3 weeks. ARGH i dont know how im gonna get through the next 3 weeks, im already back searching ultrasound pics...driving myself mad!!! The next 3 weeks are going to kill me, ladies if you want me you will find me in a white padded cell, sat in a corner rocking myself as i will have gone crazy!!!!

Thanks!! They are very excited. My 2 year old doesn't really understand of course but the older 2 are thrilled. They are just happy for a little baby in the house, boy or girl.
The weeks between booking my scan and the actual day were complete hell!! I was relieved when it was over, but the boy surprise was extra special.

Princess Do you remember did you eat different at all when you had your girls? And was the timing different when you concieved them??


I am not really getting any movement at all!!! When preg with ds1 I felt him from 17 weeks and by now I could really feel him! I am 20 weeks and 5 days today! I guess they are all different , just worries me a bit

I'm with you Pinkin. I get to the end of the day and realised I haven't felt anything all day, so I sit down with my hand on my tummy and might get 1 gentle tap. With DS1 DH could feel all the kicks from 18 weeks. My tummy is still getting bigger, so I am hoping it is just because I have an anterior placenta this time around. 1 more week until I get to see the baby and see that they are ok.

HappyLea, you can tell your DH that my scan is $325...that's 210lbs!! You can tell him yours is a bargain! lol

My boys had their sports carnival this morning. So cute. They had to run 100m in the races. I thought that was a long way for the 4 year olds!

I've always eaten the same with all 4 pregnancies. DD1, DD2 and this little boy were all conceived late December, early January. Their birthdays will all be in the one week. All my symptoms have always been exactly the same, which is why I was shocked to hear boy this time.
I am almost 22 weeks and its only been the last week or so that i've been feeling kicks. Before it was just a flutter here and there. I was beginning to get worried too. I felt kicks alot earlier with all my girls.

My anterior placenta has definitely made movements feel a lot different this time around (though I was still feeling gentle bumps here and there around 15 weeks). I also think this baby is WAY more active and prone to crazy gymnastics, so it's sort of made up for the extra cushion in front. My husband even managed to feel baby already around 21 weeks...a lot earlier than last time. DS1 was very laid back and more of a persistent "stretcher" type.

I too dont feel very much movement at all, i felt DS3 well early and DH could feel him also. With this baby at my 20 week scan she said that the placenta is anterior, I think my boys the placenta was posterior (not 100% sure tho). Would that be the reason i hardly feel movement??

Yeah HappyLea, if it is anterior it is supposed to act like a big cushion at the front which can make the kicks and movements a lot more subtle.

Hi ladies. I just thought I'd let you all know that TTC5 needs our thoughts and prayers today. She started bleeding and went to the hospital. They've admitted her and have given her steroid shots in case her little guy decides to make a very early entrance. We all need to send 'stay put' vibes to her little prince!
