HM - If you are experiencing it too then I think it's our babies doing their flips... When do yo normally get those sensations? For me it happens at night or when I lay down... sometimes when I am sitting.
Great news possums - so glad all went well for you.
AFM - So hard to get back into work after a week of doing nada in Bryon. The rascal is bored too. Won't stop moving while I'm trying to work. DH and I lay in bed and watched my belly jumping all over the place last night. I don't think he fully realised how strong mini-me is in there. He was shocked at how much my belly jumped and accused me of making it jump. I think because of the anterior placenta he hasn't been able to feel as much as I have, but I have assured him that bubs is getting stronger everyday.....I love the look on him face when he has his hand on my belly and he's waiting for a kick and then when he gets one the total look of surprise and then quick "was that one?" question to me (I confirm with a nod) before he looks back in total concentration waiting for the next one. It cracks me up. Like something other than the baby is making my belly make those kind of movements without a baby in there....he just needs to check that it was a kick and not what.....? An alien trying to escape?
Any-hoo. Apart form work I'm feeling good at the moment. Feeling a bit withdrawn from friends and family - I just don't really fancy doing much in the way of dinners or movies or coffee at the moment. Is anyone else feeling like that? I just kinda want to be at home with my DH and my cat Disco.
Kahlan- thanks...must be great feeling the movement
Nixon- that's a cute story about your DH. i tend to be a bit anti-social at the best of times ... I feel pretty distracted by this pregnancy right now, forunately I have a few close girlfriends who get it (one has been through IVF and one is going through it now and one about to start!)...but I also like hanging at home with DH and our two dogs, Charlie and Oscar.
TL- hope all goes well with this test
BG- thanks for sharing how it has felt for you
afm- just started worrying (what's new you say! ) as I realised I had used a bit of lavender on a cut and it's a no-no in the first trimester...I just hadn't given it much thought. Ah well , will steer well clear of it from here!
Nic- Your DH is just so cute. What a wonderful story. It is like kids finding presents from santa christmas morning. I have found PG has made me a bit anti social too hun. Don't know why...just want to be home with my hubby. Although i have to put that on the back burner for a few weeks looking after a friends baby...they are very social...activities everyday out and about. I am going to be knacked i think.
Kahlan- Yep hun, at night and during dinner or just after dinner. Usually when i am sitting with my knees up a bit. It is just so cool.
Possums- you are funny. I know what you mean re the lavender...but a slip up won't hurt you or bub...continued use might. Don't worry hun, do the best you can.
Possums - Don't worry about it mate. I used some zovirax on a cold sore that I got when I was really run down and unwell a few weeks ago then found out that it's a big no-no. Can't stress about every little thing - I now know not to use it and will use tea tree oil instead if the need arises. I just remind myself that babies are born every day to mothers who either didn't know they were preggo for ages or drug addicts - I know women who have smoked thru pregnancy. We do the best we can do and we learn something new every day and we better ourselves and the care we take of our little ones. So, don't beat yourself up :-)
Hi other lovely ladies - hope you're all doing well today.
Hi Ladies
So i go missing for such extended periods of time but believe me im always reading and sometimes crying at the posts in here.
First and foremost congratulations to possums i'm so happy to see you back in here, hold on tight hope you have an amazing mummy!
To Dusty and M2C im so sorry to hear of your losses, take care of yourselves hopefully time and the love of your family and friends will see you through.
TL, Nixon and Janie71 i cant believe how time is flying by in here, belly rubs to you all!
AFM- We discovered we are having a little boy Jacob Rowan in honour of my late brother at 20 weeks and now at 23 weeks his kicks are getting very strong, only problem is he has me stuck at home in bed as he is pressing on my sciatica (ouch).
Well i hope evryone i missed is doing well and no doubt i'll be lurking around the place
Bee, yay for having a boy! I too hope he moves soon to relieve you of that awful nerve pain.
TL, good luck with your GTT results. I'm sure everything will be fine.
27w midwife appt today. all good, measuring 28w, listened to heartbeat for a bit, BP is normal and she's happy with how I'm going with the GD. According to their scales I have lost 5kg this pg. None of my clothes fit me anymore, they're all falling off! Bit of a strange problem to have at this stage of pregnancy! I really don't want to go and buy any more, but I'm forever walking around adjusting everything...it's not a good look!
megan - i can sympathise with clothes falling off! it's a weird feeling - i lost about 10kg at start of pg, so even though i'm starting to gain baby now, my weight doesnt move, and everything sits funny on me! oh well, i'm not complaining... much! lol
lol BG, It's weird isn't it. Normally I wouldn't be complaining about losing a few kgs, but it's made it hard knowing what clothes I will need for the next 13 or so weeks. My pre pg jeans still fit and my mat jeans I bought at 14w are now swimming on me! Surely I wont still be in pre pg jeans when I'm 38w pregnant?! I guess I will find out soon enough!!
Officially 3rd trimester tomorrow...can't believe it still. Is this real? Sometimes I forget and then all of a sudden a baby will kick my internal organs in all directions.
i have lots of moments like that megan! i still haven't popped much either (heffalump pre pg, so lots of room for baby to make herself at home
i'm not sure if i'll even need mat clothes ( have a few clothes that were too big before!) - hell, i only have one top i wear that even makes me look pg (i don't think i'll wear it post pg! lol)
Hey girls...had a ***** night last night...ended up crying myself to sleep for hours. I am really having trouble getting my head around moving back to Aus...freaking out a bit actually. Oh dear. It will calm down i hope. I was just beside myself last night and really scared.
When i fell pg, i lost about 6 kg in first trimester....only just put on a couple of kg in the last week (mostly from eating cupcakes!)..still not showing, although i have to adjust my jeans waistband when i sit down...not because it is tight but more that the pressure feels weird. Oh that would be great to wear normal clothes through out...
