Okay I know this is so irrational but I still haven't felt baby moving and I am starting to think of all the things that could be wrong. Like what if my baby has downs syndrome or does it even have legs? Does baby have dwarfism?? Why? Why can't I feel it moving? I am 16 weeks pregnant! I felt both my other two well before 16 weeks :-( I feel like crying. I thought you were suppose to feel each one sooner and sooner because you know what to look for.

Are there other reasons for me not to feel it?? I am half tempted to go to the tech college for a free ultrasound from a student just to make sure all the pieces of baby are there.

I've really struggled to feel bubs this time round only slight movements up till 20wks, but at my last scan they told me my placenta is anterior so basically its cushioning all the babys kicks ect....I can now feel her move all the time! Do you know where yours is? Xx

[Rosie85]

Nope have no clue where it is. I thought about that thinking that was why. Guess I will know on Saturday. I hope that's all it is. Dh says it's because it's probably a girl and she is smaller. I wish....

[Rosie85]

Home I noticed in your siggy that you have two Ds1's born in two different years....interesting.

[NCBeachyGrl]

I felt little movement a few weeks ago and I haven't felt anything lately either. Maybe we are just getting bigger so the baby has more room to move without us feeling it.

Ahahaaa your right....ooops best change that xx

[mummypink]

I wouldn't worry Rosie, I think it is down to babies position as much as anything.
With DS1 I first felt definite movements at about 15 weeks, with DS2 it was more like 17/18 weeks, with this one I have had a couple of definite kicks when I have been using the doppler but nothing really otherwise. I have the odd feeling now and then but it could just be wind!!

It feels like this one either hangs out on the left or snuggled way down in my pelvis!

I didn't use Vitex, I just followed the LE diet, dh did fr, and I took an antihistamine a few hours before we bd, then used a small amount of sylk on the two occasions we bd.

I suppose part of the problem with knowing what works and what doesn't is that we are all doing things slightly differently so hard to say what combination sways the greatest. xx

[Rosie85]

Yeah it is hard to know what works or if anything works. There were ladies here who seemed to have terrific sways and they still ended up with boys. I was doing some research and read somewhere that even with swaying you are only tipping the odds in your favor a few %. So instead of the 49-51 odds it would be 56-44 or something instead for a girl. Not very encouraging. In the end I guess we are still meant to have what we are mean to have. Not trying to be a debbie downer of coure, just trying to look at it in the sense that we are not failing but it just wasn't meant to be.

[mummypink]

Yep, definitely the best way to look at it.

[homebirthing princess]

I knew that the diet was a no go for me I love food far to much lol, I honestly beleive that the reason I'm pregnant with a "girl" (im denial lol) is because my lifestyle is so different and I'm a lot more happier then when I fell pregnant with my boys.....we lived in a really secluded part of the country and I had to drive to get anywhere I hardly walked, with ds1 I was in a horrible stressful job and with ds2 I fell pregnant on honeymoon (whilst I had the beginning of swine flu) again a stressful time! This pass yr we have moved to a town I walk everywhere and have loads of friends, I'm a size bigger to which us another reason I didnt wanna do diet...I made boys whilst skinny I really do beleive we get what we are given, tho I'm not saying swaying doesn't work after all we have seen some amazing swayers get their desired genders, atomic has done an amazing job in helping ppl achieve that

Woah I rambled LOL x

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Has anyone with a facebook account spilled the beans about being pregnant yet? Nobody really knows irl and I'm debating if I should do it or not.
