*March & April 2021*

@doggylover good luck with anomaly scan!
@SCgirl glad you can feel more this time round, I hope it gets stronger soon, it's a bit weird not feeling regular movements I'd be worried if I couldn't even do kick counts later on!
 
Happy gobble till you wobble day to my fellow Americans!

Pace yourselves. I know my stomach space is much less these days.
 
Thanks @KylasBaby! I’ve tried all the carriers and Tula is my favorite!!

Just ate soooo much at thanksgiving. Can’t wait for leftovers and Christmas music in the morning!
 
I have 3 Tulas, definitely don’t need any more :haha: they are my favourite carrier for bigger kids (I like a stretchy wrap at the start)

Anomaly scan went perfectly. My placenta is anterior which explains the lack of more noticeable movements I’ve been feeling
 
@doggylover great that the scan went well!

I always wanted a tula but I have a ergo adapt that I found very comfortable for my DD so I'm just going to use that one.
I had a lillebaby carrier for my DS that killed my back it didn't fit me right at all!
 
It’s been quiet around here- how are y’all doing?

I’m now at OB visits every other week, and have reached viability... c section date set for 39w (have never made it that far, docs don’t expect me to), so I am almost to double digits left! Maybe I’ll be surprised, avoid pre-e again, and reach 39- I’d be ok with that!
 
I am 20+1 today and yeah it is flying by! Anatomy scan on Friday, just praying all looks good. @SCgirl, hope you avoid pre-e, when have symptoms of that started for you in the past? Is there anything you can do to avoid it?
 
My BP just creeped up in the previous two pregnancies a few weeks into the second trimester- one pre-e was diagnosed around 30 weeks (but didn’t progress quickly, so was induced at 37W), the other had elevated bp and started to get protein in my urine just before 37w, but at 37+1 bp got realllllly bad and baby was delivered that night. Didn’t have any of the “usual” symptoms- best way to describe it is I started to feel gross... not the miserable uncomfortable late pregnancy feeling but really bleh haha. Not super descriptive - I know! (And I recognized that feeling the second time when my Blood test numbers started hinting at pre-e developing). No swelling/vision issues/headaches/upper right quadrant pain they say to look out for- go figure! Thankfully BP is currently normal!

I took baby aspirin last time (under Ob guidance), and that may have held it off later? I’m on it again this time, along with vit d and magnesium supplements (again, ob recommended). It’s all an “it may help” thing.... I think stress/anxiety contributed to elevated bp in some ways, and that took a toll on my body too. Chasing two kids around and working, I don’t have as much time to sit and worry!
 
@SCgirl fingers crossed you can make it to that 39 week date, but it sounds like you know exactly what to look out for which is is great.

I am 20 weeks today, still suffering from sickness and sciatica
 
Nothing new going on really. 27+4 today. Baby girl is active as heck! Most kicks have been up high so she’s head down at least 90% of the time. If I’m sitting she full on makes my boobs jiggle :haha:

I had a few weeks of nasty SPD, but it’s gotten much better. It only really hurts when I get up after sitting for a while, but then it fades. My lower back had bend bugging me tho.

Yay third tri! Getting there
 
Wow can’t believe we’re in the second half!

my little sister is 5 weeks today and having spotting and is scared :( She’s going in to see her doc so hopefully they can take levels and it’s good news. I feel terrible for her!

Oh goodness- I hope everything ends up being ok! I got a call from my little sister around 2 weeks ago- had no clue she was pregnant or had been trying, but she had just lost a baby around 8w after seeing the heartbeat. It almost makes me feel guilty for being pregnant with my third, but I realize that none of these things can be helped....

I got the V-sling from Belly Bandit because I’m dealing with some horrendous SPD (had physical therapy in previous pregnancies but it didn’t help, so declined OB’s offer to refer me again). The contraption isn’t comfortable, but I am in less pain at the end of the day...



My morning sickness finally went away quite suddenly around 22 weeks- I hope you get some relief soon!
 
@SCgirl so sorry for your sister’s loss, it’s the worst. Was it her first? I know how you feel, I feel guilty that I am pregnant with baby 5 and she has these worries with her first. Though now I’m grateful for the miscarriage I did have (I know how that might sound) cause I can reassure her and then empathize if it is in fact bad news.

@doggylover thank you <3

yes- her first. I had a few losses before our first and struggled a lot with that, which I think is why she reached out and told me
 
Morning ladies, sorry I've been quiet lately.

I'm 20 weeks this week, I have my anomaly scan tomorrow morning, I can't wait to find out the sex.

I've started suffering with a bit of heartburn in the evenings. I've been feeling little kicks but only when I'm in bed and kind of half lying on my tummy. Been feeling a bit bleurgh lately, I think its the lockdiwn that caused it. I never leave the house, its made me incredibly lazy and have no motivation.

Hope everyone is doing OK
 
Hi ladies! 28 weeks tomorrow for me and feeling exhausted! I have a growth scan on Thursday which I’m looking forward to but the appointment with a consultant afterwards feels pointless but I suppose I have to play along with them. I’m about ready to not be pregnant now so I have a long 12 weeks ahead of me :haha:
 
Morning ladies. I just had my 20 week scan. My partner wasn't allowed in, he had to wait in the car. We were gutted. I asked the lady to write down the sex and not tell me. At least we could still find out the sex together that way. Everything was perfect and as it should be.

I am happy to say that we are team :pink: we are having a girl. I had a gut feeling it was girl. We're so happy
