Hi Bumpies! I am 20 weeks preggers.  I'm 25 years old and this is my second pregnancy, but my firstborn is 8 1/2 years old so it's like doing it all over again for the first time!  We are having a precious baby boy, this will be my second boy.  I'm interested to see what it will be like to have two boys on my hands.

I am 20 weeks too. I have two boys and this is my 3 rd pregnancy . My boys are super bright, energetic and very messy. I clean all the time . Oh and i cook all the time . My kids are 5 and 3. I think by the time they are teenagers I would have to buy three fridges and built pantries to store food for them . lol

Hi everyone, I am 20 weeks and 4 days along and I am soo excited. we found out on mondy that we are having a girl and that she is bigger than average in height already!   I feel her move and only wish her daddy could see her move when I feel her, but I think it will be soon because she is a kicker and loves to kick and wiggle around.  Well  ladies  I wish all of you the best with your new bundle of

Hiiii! Im 20 and just hit 20 weeks with my first!! I still consider myself a newlyweddd but we are very excitedd!

Ive been thinking a lot, im not sure if i have felt my baby move yet, but i think i might have, im just not positive yet and i dont wanna get over excited for something that im not sure offff.

Im also not sure if were going to find out the next of the baby yet. I have an appointment set up for Oct 28th! and ill be almost 22 weeks then incase we do wanna know, but im still unsure
What do you guys think? Are you finding out?

Thanks!

Hi Jessica - I'm 21 weeks on Tuesday so I think we right around the same time frame  

I'm pregnant with our first too - we found out at 17 weeks that we are having a BOY!  I am so excited... I think it makes it easier to plan, definitley makes it more "real" and if you're planning to have a baby shower, it will allow people to by things that will truly fit your little one.

 I was way too type "A" not to find out  - and have been so glad I did.  How have you been feeling?  

Hope we can chat - love to talk to someone who's doing this with me!! It's great to have lots of support!

 

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Jennifer

Hey I am 30 and I have a 8 year old as well. I thought I was having a boy but the ultra sound said a girl. I really hope she was accurate but we will see again when I offically hit weke twenty in two more days. Having my son first is great he is a joy. I think boys are mommies treasures. I have a 4 year old stepson he is great as well, So she will add to my joy. Congrats ladies!!

My husband and I are waiting to find out!     My family is excited that we are willing to wait, but some friends are frustrated and want to find out.  My mom says that it is like Christmas on the day you give birth...you have no idea what is it, but you know it will be great.  Good luck to you...did you find out?  I see that this post is from a month ago.

HeathaMatic

Oh my goodness, I don't know how you could wait! My fiancee and I (well, mostly me) were so anxious to find out the sex of our baby. I think you can usually tell just by instinct. For example I was POSITIVE I was having a girl and we found out 2 weeks ago that we are in fact having a girl. Do you have any feelings about what you think the sex may be?

Hello, I am 20 weeks and four days. I am having a baby girl! This is my first child, and I'm 25 yrs old. I look forward to the new experience/ the new life. Trying to come up a name. How do you all feel about, Zoey-Lynn? Is it too much for first name?

pstanky

Hi everyone.I am 20 weeks and two days with my first.I am so excited .I did not find out the sex yet my husband wants to know . I had a dream before i got pregnant that it was a boy so i was sure of it untill  this morning i had a dream it was a girl. Now i don't know if i should find out:/

BabyNewbury2012

BrookeKrasniqi

I am 20 weeks and a few days.. This is our FIRST baby! at week 16 we were told a boy and then at week 18 they confirmed its a GIRL. I myself just want a healthy baby so I am fine with whatever. Today was the day I felt her kick through my shirt. BEST feeling in the world. I have been waiting on this since I could feel her move!

Hey ..I start week 20 today and after all the testing and amnio drama (I'm 42 and this is my first) , I am finally relaxing and enjoying the pregnancy. Had easy time so far. About the sex...my boyfriend has 2 grown daughters from a prior relationship so the odds would be on another girl but the entire time from conception on..I was thinking "I'm having a boy". We chose a boy's name right away and never decided on a girl's. I am big on watching football, basketball, baseball, college football, etc so I was picturing my son in a baby jersey

Sure enough at my week 18 ultrasound right  before the amnio , the ultrasound tech looked at the screen and said "oh..there's your boy!" and 2 days later, the FSH results (fast track amnio) confirmed it. And then I told everyone and focused everything on us having a son.

So..I'd recommend finding out for future planning purposes (though if I had a girl, she'd get a jersey to)

Jumpin4joy

Woot Woot! Half way there! I am 20 w 2 d and so nervous!  Did the amnio on Monday and now just want to hear that all is well.  I've been super blessed with no morning sickness etc. and all bloodwork and US so far have been good. 

We found out Monday that it's a boy! I'm 39 and a FTM so we're very excited about this little guy.  I dreamt it was a girl twice! LOL. So much for that. But, all I want is a healthy baby. So team Blue here I am! 

amyhimmelman

I am thrilled to be at this point!  It took us almost 2 years of trying to get pregnant and we are super excited to meet our little one

bethd

Wow, they said boy then changed it? Did they say at week 16 that it MAY be a boy, or did it sound definite? I am asking because I have 3 boys and then at week 17 they told us we are having a girl, and we're thrilled! But now I'm worried, what if its a mistake and we're getting over our heads about it when we shouldn't?? We'll be happy no matter what but I just don't want to keep saying "its a girl" if it may not be!?

VanessaA39

Hi Everyone,

I'm 20 weeks today. Incredible! This is our first baby and we are keeping the sex a surprise.

Purple35panther

The best advice I got was to sleep when the baby sleeps! :

pearlsnow

Hi I'm 20 weeks with my second now I am not going to find out!  WIth my first he was supposed to be a girl lol twice they said they were pretty sure. All my stuff was in neutral colors so no big deal but once born we forgot to check the sex for a bit.  the Surprise was so worth it.  I think a baby is a gift and I don't want to know all about my gift I want the surprise.

Hello fellow 20 weekers,

My name is Misty-Dawn, and I am currently 20 weeks pregnant with my first child. I can feel him move, and am out of the morning sickness... YAY.

I found out at 16 weeks that he is indeed a boy, and am excited...

hi I am 20 weeks today and this is my first, a little girl. Nervous, but excited ant tips?

I felt the same way with my first boy. I am now on my third. My advice sleep when she sleeps. If you get overwhelmed lay her down in bassinet and walk away for a few minutes. Just to calm down. Its easy to get overwhelmed.

Danifer26

20 weeks FIRST baby and not finding out gender! You only get so many surprises in life, without someone spilling the beans I will be 21 weeks on the 9th. Is anyone else having trouble sleeping? Crazy dreams and RL Pain? Not just crazy dreams but Labor and Delivery and the hubby gets yelled at in my dreams that aren't just in my dreams he really hears me screaming at him to rush me to the hospital! Well, I guess I was wondering if there is anyone else going through the same thing. Happy Pregnancy ladies May is going to be an AWESOME month!

njaco

I am 20 weeks now and some days he/she is moving all day long and hard, then some days I don't feel anything and it worry's me sometimes.  This is my fourth pregnancy so I have been feeling things since week 14...My first pregnancy I lost at 7 weeks but then I had two healthy baby boys but that was 8 year ago so everything seems new again!   I go to my doctor tomorrow so hopefully he will schedule my U/S and we can find out if this is another baby boy or the baby girl we have been waiting for!

DaisyDuck40

Hi I am so excited I will be entering my 20th week tomorrow! I'm so excited, but so nervous! I will get to see my baby for the second time and I will also find out the gender in like 3-4 days I can hardly wait!!!!

littlenaenae

20 weeks today. We found out at 12 weeks that we are having our 3rd son. Can't wait to hold him! But I'm trying to enjoy this pregnancy as it will probably be my last.
