    Better..ish.
    A/S next wednesday, super anxious and nervous about it. I haven't had an ultrasound since 12 weeks, I'll be 19 on friday. I'm of course just afraid baby isn't growing enough or something. I rarely feel what I think are kicks. I know it's still sort of early, but i still freak out about it. Can't help it. My mind will be at ease in a week. SO mom wants to come along to the A/S and I feel bad saying no, it would just be so terrible if something were to be wrong, then SO and I wouldn't have that privacy. But she's a really sweet lady, and I have high hopes, so we're letting her come along for her first grandchild :)

    Good luck next week, @bbax44. Keep us updated!

    I made it past my EDD and don't even know if DH remembered. He doesn't like to talk about it since we're so hopeful for this LO, maybe he thinks it's bad luck? I don't know, but I felt especially alone that day and had a lot of obligations that prevented me from staying home and mourning on my own like I have in years past.

    This morning my dog was laying by my belly and suddenly shoved all 50 lbs of herself off me, so it startled me and made me worry that she hurt the baby. I was going to call for a heartbeat check, but I can feel the baby moving around now so I guess that's all the reassurance I really need.

    @bbax44 yes please keep us updated. I am hopeful for you as well ;) Best of luck with this scan coming up.
    @natsfan84 my puppy loves to do that too. Lately she has been laying next to me and a few days ago she got way too excited and jumped right on me. DH gets very nervous about it. But we are also trying to be optimistic about everything.

    I will say I went a little crazy and ordered a heart beat thing from Amazon and got it yesterday because I wanted to hear it when I was home and thought it would keep my mind at ease and it would be fun to use. I used it last night and showed DH. He loved it! We can both listen with headphones at the same time and it also has an option to plug into the computer to record it. It's really made me feel better when I was getting nervous about random pains. It's nice especially since I am only 17 weeks and can't feel baby yet.

    Thinking of you girls!

    I feel the same way! My last ultrasound was at 15 weeks but they were measuring my cervix so I didn't really get to see the baby. The last baby focused ultrasound was at 9 weeks. My anatomy scan is next week at 20 weeks and 4 days. I have occasionally felt some movement but nothing for the last 4-5 days. I have no real reason to be concerned but I really just want to see him/her to know that everything is going good.

    What was the heartbeat thing you bought? Do you have a link? I've been thinking about getting something.

    @mphillips2 I bought this guy https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z52R76S?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 and I am so glad I did. I had a missed miscarriage so I am pretty constantly concerned because previously we never knew anything was wrong. Having this makes me feel so much better. I have only had it a day but I love it. I bought the gel too, it didn't come yet, so I just used regular lotion last night and it worked fine, then I just rubbed it all in afterward :))

    Just wanted to let you know that if you don't have the ultrasound gel you can use aloe vera gel instead. It's recommended over lotion. I don't remember the reason but I think it has to do with the conductivity and movement of sound.

    I think a lot of us will feel some relief after our anatomy scans...at least I hope so! Mine is still 2 weeks away and I just try not to think about it too much.
    I've had a horrible cold for the last week and as much as it sucks, it's given me something else to think about. I feel bad that I have to distract myself from the pregnancy in order to not feel too anxious.
    I've been having dreams about babies lately- anyone else?

    @bbax44 better-ish is the perfect word for how I feel! I'm 19 weeks now and haven't felt any movement. We had an early level 2 ultrasound at 16 weeks and I have a stupid anterior placenta, so that's hopefully the reason. But it feels like the waiting will never end and like maybe something is wrong because things sometimes go wrong. I have an official anatomy scan tomorrow which I rationally know I shouldn't be nervous about, but I am. My husband had to go out of state unexpectedly for work, so my wonderful 36 week pregnant SIL is going with me instead. I feel like a weenie for accepting her offer to go, but ultrasound anxiety. Also everyone expects me to be all sunshine, rainbows and unicorns type happy about going for the ultrasound tomorrow because I'll get to see the baby. I really do understand (and wish) it would be crazy exciting. However, my emotions are still so mixed about ultrasounds. I feel like once you go to an ultrasound and see your baby died, it's less exciting/giddy happy and more nerve-wracking. Ugh. It's probably fine. Here's to the next few weeks passing very quickly for everyone and feeling those babies busting a move!!

    I hope everyone gets positive news and relief from our anxiety at the anatomy scans. Ours is scheduled for DH's birthday in two weeks. At first I thought that would be awesome, but now I'm scared we will get bad news. Also, I miscarried on my 30th birthday this year so maybe we shouldn't have the scan on DH's birthday... I half want to reschedule. I am feeling little kicks most nights now and that is reassuring, but also nerve wracking because they are so irregular. We did start shopping some for baby stuff, so overall I'm a lot more optimistic these days.

    I'm 19w tomorrow, and never feel kicks at all. I don't even feel like I'm showing at all, just chubby. So naturally I think something is wrong, like I'm not eating enough, baby isn't growing..something went wrong. No idea! And i wouldn't know if i had an anterior placenta because they never said anything at my 12w5d ultrasound about it. I'm not sure if the placenta would effect a heartbeat doppler because we have one and never have a problem finding the hb!

    Glad to hear everyone is hearing heartbeats! Let's hope after the ASs we can all relax a bit. Mine is the 29th and I'll be 21 weeks. Good to hear from you all xoxo

    AS will be October 1st. Looking forward to hearing that baby is healthy and developing normally!
    This weekend is Calebs due date. We are going to the beach and are just going to relax and get away for a few days. I bought a bunch of balloons so we will write a message and do a balloon release. Not really sure what else to do. Any ideas for what you ladies did for your EDD of your angel?
