Thanks ladies. I don't normally feel much movement this pregnancy (I suspect my u/s will show I have an anterior placenta), but I have felt baby move a fair bit today and I haven't had any bleeding at all so I'm feeling less worried now. I have my next midwife appointment on Monday.
Sounds like things are good Erin!
I moved this past weekend and though I have not lifted heavy boxes at all, I did have to do a lot of work. I am worried about the baby now. :( Wish I did not have this stupid anterior placenta. I can barely feel the baby move on a good day. Monday can't come soon enough for my anatomy scan. But I am so worried we will see no HB. UGH. I guess this just stems from my other losses, but wish I was feeling consistent movement.
Anyone else not feel much with an anterior placenta at 19 weeks?
Just dropping in ladies...I hope everyone is doing well.
Roe- I hope everything comes back ok with the baby. I know its scary having that lingering over you until you find out. (((HUGE HUGS)))
Erin and Shann- I'm sure everything is ok with your bubs. You know women can handle a lot even while pregnant. Shann I was ripping up carpet when I was 7 months with DS1 because I wanted hardwood floors put in his nursery. DH was taking too long to do it lol! But if you feel uneasy about it definitely check with your OB.
AFM...I have my gender scan tomorrow and I want to be surprised at the gender reveal so I have promised myself I will not look at the screen or I will ask her to turn it off so I'm not tempted. :o:o. I found a company on Etsy that does confetti cannons and I ordered mystery cannons and I will try to get the u/s tech to email the results to the company and then they will send me cannons filled with either pink or blue confetti. Hopefully the tech will email the results so all our family and close friends can surprised together.
ahorn - that sounds wonderful! So excited to see pictures of the reveal! How exciting!!!
Shannshaff, I'll be 18 weeks tomorrow and I typically only feel a hint of movement once or twice per day when I'm lying down concentrating, some days I don't feel anything. I don't know for sure I'm anterior, but this is very different from my previous pregnancies so it would make sense.
Ahorn, I like the confetti idea, that sounds so cute. I hope the u/s tech agrees to email for you. If not, it seems like most places will write it on a note so you could always give the note to a trusted friend to email for you.
I had my midwife find out the information and put it in a card for us. I also once had my sister have the results (we never found out, but she opened it about 2w before the baby was born and she knew). I bet if they won't email, someone else could for you...Quote:

I have my u/s in less than 30 minutes. I've promised myself I won't look! This is going to take a lot of willpower lol! We have the reveal set for July 1st so I only have a few more days until we all know EEK!!
That is exciting! Praying all goes well at the scan!!! We need pics soon after!!! :)
Here's a pic from my ultrasound. I did very good I didn't peak at all. I told her before I even laid on the table that I didn't want to know so she told me she would tell me to close my eyes when she got the legs. Only 10 days tell I find out. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5f004715ab.jpg

Aw, cute baby! Can't wait till you find out.
Nann- how are you doing? Did you ever get that rash on your hand figured out? I had strange rashes with my DS2. I had these dot-like red spots all over my hands and belly. I forget what they were called, but it looked like I was dabbed with a red marker, haha!
Roe- I've been thinking about you and your baby! I hope everything turns out ok! (((Hugs)))
Erin- how are you feeling?
Ahorn- Super cute baby! I can't wait until you find out! I'll be stalking [emoji4]!!
I hope everyone else is doing ok!

There's an invisible resist spray and I placed our letters down and put a few layers on. Then the kids threw dye-water-balloons at the sign and it absorbed to show what we are having. There was lots of cheering. :)

Hi ladies! I hope everyone is doing well!
I appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers! I got all of the blood work back and there doesn't seem to be any recent or active infection that could be causing the brightening of the bowel. My doctor and the perinatologist seem to think that my Panorama is very reliable to rule out downs and no one seems to think I need the amnio. I have a repeat ultrasound in 3 weeks. Apparently, this shows up on some women just because they are "small." I find that hard to believe in my case because I've been this size in both of my other pregnancies and had no issue. They said it is common for the issue to just resolve and it usually does by 30 weeks. I am 21 weeks...it's going to be a long second trimester!!

Sorry that you still have to wait for a repeat scan to put your mind at ease, but I'm glad to hear that everything has come back normal!
Praying that all stays normal Roe!!! Hope the next scan shows that everything is resolved!
Birth - That looks so cute. Glad the kids enjoyed the fun reveal!
ahorn - Really cute baby!!! Love it!!!
I'm glad that everything's ok with the baby Roe but I'm sorry you have to wait 3 weeks for the ultrasound to confirm that everything is ok but I just know everything will be fine with the baby.
Birth that's adorable!!
Rash has seemed to go away thank goodness lol. Weirdest things happen during pregnant and always go unexplained most the time [emoji23] oh well..

Roe I will be looking for news on your LO, sorry you have to wait so long.

Anyone else continuously obsessing over their ultrasound? Lol.

No! After 3 confirming the gender I've been able to put down the scans. Ha.
But I can't wait for you team green girls to meet your little surprises!
You guys are so strong!
Still thinking of you Roe, and the ladies who are still struggling with GD in this current pregnancy. ❤️

So it looks like we will have boy #5. I am a bit numb. We looked away at the scan but when I sat up I saw a definite kickstand in the gender pic. But DH does not know and now a have to keep it a secret. Wish I did not see. Ugh.
Baby kept legs together the whole time and showed no signs of being a boy. So I had hope. But I know that pic too well. I will post a pic when I can.
Here are a few pics from the scan.Attachment 36764

I'm sorry Shan if that is the case. I can only imagine what having GD through 5 pregnancies is like. [emoji170]

Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry shannshaff. How awful to have decided to go team green and now "know but not-know". Would you feel better asking your OB to tell you the gender now that you think you know anyway, just so you don't have to spend the rest of the pregnancy questioning what you saw? Could you explain to your DH that you think you accidentally saw a gender, and see if he still wants you to keep it a secret from him or tell him what you think so that you can be on the same page?
AFM, I had a midwife appointment yesterday and heard the heartbeat again so I'm no longer worried about that kick from my son. My anatomy scan is coming up on the 5th. Hope I can keep my eyes averted!
I am not too bad right now. I am just trying to get over not having a girl. I know that this little boy is what our family needed. Apparently we raise great boys. :D
I admire your outlook and positivity shann! You are so right about that baby being just what your family needed. I wish I could be as positive as you! ❤️❤️Quote:

Cute baby Shann!!! I hope that want you saw was indeed the cord but I'm glad that you can make peace with it being another boy.
Erin I'm glad everything is ok with the LO.
AFM I just have 4 more days until we all find out what this LO is. Everyone is saying girl but my mind won't let me go there. It's supposed to rain Saturday and we are doing the reveal part outside because we have confetti cannons but rain or shine the party will continue!
I will be counting the days with you ahorn! We will need to see pics. :)
*big hugs* shann <3 I hope you are able to confirm it if it will help you in any way.
ahorn, looking forward to your reveal!
AFM, I managed to get some sort of injury on my ankle. I didn't fall or do anything crazy, but wearing my flats while pregnant caused it, it seems. So now, it isn't going away and I suppose its the relaxin not letting it heal.
Anyone have an increase in thirst? I can't seem to get enough to drink these days, especially after a meal. It was the same with DD during the 3rd trimester.
Hello all❤️ I want to sway pink. I see so many successes. Where do I locate your sway tactics?? I'm compiling my info before ttc :) I've got 1 15yr and 4 boys :)

Hi Lynn,
This seems to be a really lucky due date group overall, but keep in mind that statistics don't mean much unless you have hundreds (or thousands) of people in the sample.
The most successful tactics for pink seem to be 12+weeks on the LE diet, single attempt in the fertile window, cardio for 60 minutes 5+ times per week, and many people also add regular coffee and alcohol. You can find more information in the links on Atomic's signature. If you have a question, you'll get better responses from the TTC a girl forum, Atomic doesn't check all the individual due date forums. You can also see what people have done in the "add your sway" section under TTC girl.
