Ladies due in Sept/Oct/Nov 2012, gather here!

So...feeling happy today because I'm finally feeling consistent movements from the baby. It's about time - I'll be 20 weeks in 2 days! This morning ds3 had me up very early and I couldn't get back to sleep, so I lay in bed with my hand on my belly and felt lots of little kicks. The baby's been really active all morning. I love this feeling - I can't wait until it gets a little stronger!

I have a midwife appointment in about half an hour. It won't be too exciting, but I'll finally get the official results from my triple blood screen (though I'm assuming the results were fine or they would have contacted me earlier), and I'll be able to tell her I'm having a girl. I think she'll be very excited for me! Less than a week until my 20 week scan - I'm getting more and more nervous as it approaches that there will be a penis there!!

Mocha, in both of my pregnancies DH and I waited for 21 and 22 weeks because we wanted to be SURE! It's hard to wait that long though! I think your baby is a GIRL Though!! I can't wait until it's verified!

I def. think the baby is a girl, Mocha...you have nothing to worry about!

[Mochagirl]

Thanks, ladies. My midwife appt went well. I got the results from my IPS - apparently I showed I have the risk of Down's of a 19 year old! Pretty good for a 37 year old!

Glad everything went well at your appt Mocha! I am sure your baby is still a girl--don't worry!

Auroara, you are so good having a birthday party for your DS1's first birthday! I did that for my first kid only. DS didn't have a part until he turned 2, and poor DD2 just turned 2 and didn't get a party at all... I guess she will have to wait until 3!

Glad the site is running better today!

I too am finding it hard to post, keep getting database error.

TT5 ~ so glad the leaking has stopped and you deffo have a boy in there! Cant wait for the confirmation at your 20 week scan.

I really need to catch up but if i change page i get error Im having lots of problems with this.

Well my back has been very sore recently so i had a lovely lady come to my house last night and she gave me a massage and tried to make some of my sore points better, i slept like a baby last night.

My DS2 was 4 on Tuesday so got a party on Saturday for him, DH will have finished the garden by then. Will take my mind of my scan on Monday for a while i guess. On Monday the dr have put me at 12week 2days but i think i will be 11week 5days...is this too early for a nub shot to be accurate? Or does it go by what you are measuring??

Glad your back is feeling better! And have fun at your son's birthday! You and Auroara are having parties the same day it sounds like.

I am not sure about the nub shot--good luck though!

Crap, Mocha, I typed this whole response and the weird database error message ate it. Grrr. ANyway, what I was saying was, I took lukewarm showers in my first two pregnancies, because I was worried about hot ones too. WHen I mentioned it to my doctor last pregnancy, he totally laughed at me! I think the hot water is only an issue if your belly is submerged for a length of time. That said (and not that I recommend this), I have a friend who used her hot tub every day through 3 pregnancies, and her girls are not only healthy, but smart as whips! So don't worry. Maybe try a heating pad or hot water bottle? Hope you back feels better!

I've always taken pretty hot baths while pregnant, and I don't fill the water up that much (I just want my back to enjoy it) and so even my legs are part way out of the water the trick is like she said.. don't submerge your belly, and don't get over heated! And you didn't so you should be just fine Mocha!
