I'd had a feeling ours would be a boy. Funny thing is that my husband was sort of rooting for a girl, he was looking forward to the Daddy/Daughter relationship. I think he's actually more nervous now that he knows it's a boy!0 -

Congrats! We found out for the first two, but are going for the surprise this time, since we have one of each :-)0 -
So I finally felt movement today!! It's not a full on kick or anything, but it was definitely noticeable enough to know it was the baby :bigsmile: Can't wait for our u/s in Oct as I think I now want to know what it is!:blushing:0

I have been thinking I have felt slight movement the last couple of days (16 weeks + now) but it might be wishful thinking. Very fluttery and not very often. Looking forward to the definite movement, and to my 16 week checkup on Tuesday. Bringing my other kids (4 and 5) along so they can hear the baby's heart beat for the first time. Also looking forward to getting a weigh in, as I have been away at work with no scale for 3 weeks. My body has been wanting 2300-2400 calories a day to seem satisfied, but hoping my gain has been reasonable. I tried staying about 2000 calories for a few days, but was starving all the time and getting the need to eat shaking.0

The fluttering is exactly how it feels!0 -
Hello 2nd Tri ladies
I'm almost 14 weeks now, so figured I'd come in here and say hi! Told my kids (aged 6 and 4) last week which was the most awesome thing ever
, they are soooooooo excited, lots of chatter to my tummy! Not told my work yet, ....
I've had lots of issues, lots of bleeding after running/ or even just jogging, and so told NO EXERCISE, but scans have always been fine, midwife said I'd be able to start doing a bit more exercise once I got to 14 weeks, so I'm planning some walks for next week. fingers crossed I don't bleed. I've found no exercise pretty tough. :sad: I'm really looking forward to getting back into it, and I'm loving no longer feeling like I could sleep at any given moment, and not feeling sick. :bigsmile:
Anyway :drinker: here's to the next 26 weeks!0 -

Glad to see you over here! I have given up the running, but just walking or riding the stationary bike makes me feel better too.0 -
Well I managed a 5km walk today, that's the most exercise I've done in about 10weeks, not quite the fit pregnancy I was planning, but there are more important things than me right now! Anyway, no adverse effects just yet, so yay!
Hope everyone is doing well, it's very quiet on here .... *tumble weed*0 -
Had my five month appointment /anatomy scan part 2 today, and everything looked good! Teddy Wayne is measuring at 1.3 pounds and right on schedule. Have been feeling small movements for awhile, but they have gotten considerably more noticeable and frequent over the past 5 days or so...husband was able to feel him for the first time last night, and again tonight...hooray! Hope everyone else is doing well!0

I have had trouble with exercise too. I am 25 weeks and really the only exercise I do is walking whether its taking my dog on a walk or light hiking. Over the past 2 weeks been having trouble with my blood pressure rising so I am trying to keep it down. Had high bp with the first and the medication was not so trying my best to stay off it this time around. I just try to watch the amount and what type of food I put in my mouth right now I have only gained 11lbs so I am hoping to keep it that way or to drop a few (My doctor didn't want me to gain any).0 -
24 weeks today..Im getting close to my third trimester. The baby really doesnt want me to sleep at night. After his daddy talks to him he likes to curl up on one side of my stomach and use me as a punching bag. Now that i think about it he pretty much likes to kick and punch all day long. I dont know when he sleeps! lol. Its a great feeling though to know hes moving around in there.0

Wish mine kicked all day. She is usually active when I first get to work for a few hours, then she wakes up a little bit after lunch, then she will start again around 8pm and its great when she decides to jump on my bladder Or last night she really got going at 130am and went till almost 4am. I really hope this isn't a preview of whats to come. 0 -

I'm right there with you with the exercise. I was getting some good 3 mile walks in a few weeks ago, but then they stopped. I'm almost 15 weeks and beginning to get my energy back -- today being an exception, it's been a bad day. I'm hoping to get back to the gym next week. We'll see. Glad to know that I'm not alone in my slackerness. I've only gained about 5 lbs, so I must be averaging things out.0 -
Had my OB appointment today! My dr was on call today so I had to have an appt with the back-up DR andddd lets just say I had to wait 1.5hrs in the waiting room. Super frustrated but I guess they were really behind. Anywho, everything seemed fine. She didn't say much, she didn't tell me the HB or how my stomach is measuring. I have to wait another 4wks to talk to my Dr about my u/s to see what she says cause baby was measuring 1wk ahead and I am curious to see if she will keep the same due date or what. I gained 5lbs since my last appt 4wks ago, booo, I was aiming for 4lbs but I will take it.0

i know its unmistakable what that feeling is... just wait until he/she does it all night long! lol0 -
Jamie31 - I remember when I was pregnant with my boy, he used to move constantly, and it is soooo reassuring! My second was a girl, and she was very quiet, so quiet that I insisted on having a scan at about 31 weeks as I had hardly felt any movements at all, as soon as they started scanning she started kicking lots, and the sonographer says, so you couldn't feel that ... errr ... well that was the most she moved in weeks!!!
I can't wait to able to feel this one, then I can stop worrying. I'm almost 15 weeks now, and all my nausea and tiredness has gone, which I find as worrying as I do reassuring!
Got my midwife appointment on Wednesday, I know I've gained weight, dread to think how much.0 -
I just wanted to stop by and say hello! I'm 18 weeks and 5 days today. I've been feeling "something" in there, but I'm never certain whether it is my digestive system working away or whether it is my little one moving around! I'm having my 2nd trimester ultrasound on Weds and I can't wait! Its soooo exciting to see baby on screen again. I was soo amazed when we got to see him/her during the IPS scan at week 12. Here is hoping for another special moment on Weds ...and we are finding out if its a boy or a girl!! soooooo excited!!! 0

HI All! I haven't been posting anything in a while. I think that the last time I posted, I was still in the first trimester group. I will be 16 weeks tomorrow. It has been 6 days of no vomiting and 3 days of no nausea - Yay! I am finally feeling like myself. I actually did some house work on Sunday and Yesterday. A big feat considering I have been so tired that folding half the laundry basket wore me out. I know that I was really hoping to be able to keep running during the pregnancy but being as tired as I was, I barely could get a 2.5 mile walk in 2-3 times a week (sometimes it was so slow). And some of the time it was once or twice a week.
I haven't felt any movement yet - but they did tell me I had a posterior uterus - so does that mean it will take longer to feel anything?0 -
Found out today that I'm having a boy!!!! Very excited, but we only had a girl name picked out sofar. Now we have to do the name-search all over again!0
-
is anyone else experiencing hip/thigh/leg pain?? I been feeling sooooo sore every morning when i wake up like i've been doing squats and lunges the day before. like that soreness u feel after working out . I havne't really been doing squats. and just working out on elliptical or walking for exercise but i'm so sore. i don't think i had this issue until 30wks w previous pregnancies.0

I think depending on the position of the uterus is does effect how soon u feel the movement. I'm not sure of the position of my uterus, but I didn't start feeling any movements till 19/20 weeks and it's my 3rd pregnancy..0 -

I was told at my 20 week ultrasound that I have an anterior placenta, so it's on the front. I just felt my first movement this past week, and she said it will be many more weeks until my husband can feel it from the outside, due to the position of my placenta.0 -

My legs have been sore too and I am at 26 weeks. It is mostly in my thighs and ankles. Also went hiking a few weeks ago nothing strenuous was walking normal not fast and I started having pain where my thigh meets my hips. That went away but was very strange. Been told it is normal though.0 -

Congrats on having a boy!! I will be finding out tomorrow, can't wait. I actually just want to make sure the baby is okay but knowing if it's a boy or a girl will be a plus.0 -
I'm almost 15 weeks now and I'm feeling like myself again. I start feeling better around 11 weeks and I've done a lot of walking this week and I even went to kickboxing yesterday!
I was amazed at how tired I was; I thought I was going to be able to push through and keep my regular workout routine, but that didn't happen. I'm so happy to have some energy back and I think I am going to start lifting again and build up my stamina for the thrid trimester.
It's kind of funny: the first trimester I was looking forward to all of the ultrasounds and wondering if something was wrong between all of them. Now with the second trimster, I'm waiting to feel the baby move and I'm wondering what's wrong because other 15 weekers have felt their babies move. I've decided to not worry about it too much though because I just want to enjoy feeling better.
So glad to join you ladies!!0 -

15 weeks pretty early to feel the baby move I felt my first movement last week during week 20, and it's definitely not consistent. I have an anterior placenta, so my husband can't feel the baby from the outside. I got a doppler early on to help ease my nerves between appointments, and I can hear the baby's heart beat anytime I want to!! 0
