20 Week Ultrasound

We had the morphology scan on Friday - 19w 6d. All seems good, and bub is growing well - actually measuring around 4 days ahead! Eeeek! LOL. Here are some photos:

Have been getting quite a few movements lately, and quite strong. The strongest I have felt were actually during the ultrasound! Bub did NOT like being poked and prodded! I haven't felt it from the outside yet, but with Charlotte I didn't feel it until 20w 6d, and I had a posterior placenta with her. So with an anterior placenta, and extra weight, I just have to be patient!

Talking about weight, I am still 3 and a bit kgs under my pre pregnancy weight! Even after ALLLL the eating we have done over the last couple of weeks! So pretty happy with that.

Have my first pregnancy appointment at the Hospital in the morning - at 8:15am! I am leaving Ray and Charlotte at home, as I may have to wait 2+ hours there! Ughhh I hate Hospital apps. Anyway, better get to bed!

A kick?

I felt my first strong kick tonight! A quick jab below my belly button - then shortly after felt some more movements. Lovely :) Also had a BH after the movements - not so lovely!

18 Weeks today!

And no news! Have had the odd BH, but nothing like the other night. Can easily find bub's heartbeat now. Have felt a few flutters here and there - but I don't think I have gotten as many as when pregnant with Charlotte at this stage. Still hanging around the same weight. Still wearing the jeans I was wearing pre-pregnancy. Looking forward to the next scan :)

Boohoo - BH

Today I have had some familiar feelings - those awful BH *insert crying smiley here*. I am hoping it is just from over-doing it or something, and not the irritable uterus starting up already. Yuck yuck yuck.

But still on a high after hearing bub's heartbeat today :)

Have now booked in for the morphology scan. Have decided to leave it a bit longer, and have it done on the 28th December @ 9.30am. We definately want to find out the sex, just don't know if we will tell anyone else yet hehehe.

Beautiful - heartbeat!!!

Finally, for the first time, found this bub's heartbeat! I just went and laid down, and within a minute, I found it! I yelled out to Ray, and after he came in the little terror must have moved because I lost it for a minute, but found it again! Then tried to record some - TRIED LOL It wasn't easy with Charlotte climbing over me trying to grab the doppler and mobile LOL. I am just so happy and so relieved! Will try and upload a bit later.

Doing well :) 17 Weeks!

Had a standard pregnancy checkup yesterday with my GP.

Blood pressure - perfect (didn't ask what it was - doh!)
Felt movements? Yes.
Up on the bed to feel uterus.
Type up referal for morph scan.
Seeya! LOL

My GP said that I could go for the scan in a week or so, but if I wanted to find out the sex, leave it until closer to 20 weeks. I have been thinking I might leave it until just after Christmas, maybe the 27th or something - I think the later the better if you are a bigger girl too. Hmmm can I wait that long? LOL.

Weight - still 2-3kg below starting weight. I love pregnancy - 17 weeks and haven't gained weight, aaaand haven't been eating healthy - at all! LOL. I am sure it will catch up with me though, so had better start behaving!

Getting a bit of a belly now, so had better take another photo some time!

16 weeks - Definately movements!

I am sure the flutters, and the last couple of nights - thuds, are bub! I asked on a baby site whether you can feel movements this early with an anterior placenta, and they all said yes - it was good to read that, as I kept telling myself I was just dreaming LOL.

I read today that at 16 weeks, bub is about 6 inches long! Already! And weighs 120g.

Oh, and I am already producing colostrum! Let's hope that actually leads to producing a decent amount of milk this time!
