Re: *2nd tri check in Feb 22nd* New leader needed in 2 weeks
I have my 16 week appt next Friday, just a general appt and they will check the heartbeat. I can't wait until 20 weeks to find out the gender.
What I love, feeling the flutters, people asking if I'm carrying, and the congrats I get. Seeing my son pat my belly and say "Why-weet" (Wyatt), it melts my heart. I love being pregnant. I just wish I could snap out of this constant exhaustion and weepiness.
My next appt is March 4 for a level two ultrasound since I am "high risk" (AMA). I'm so excited! I haven't seen my little nugget since 9 weeks!!!!!

Hubs and I are finishing up our registry, working on some minor home improvements before the baby gets here, starting to look at baby furniture, thinking about when to take childbirth classes, and are choosing a pediatrician. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that there would be so much to do before our little baby gets here!
I have an ultrasound and appt. with my OB a week from today. My husband has gone with me to every appointment so far but this time my mom is coming with me. She's never seen a live ultrasound so she is ecstatic to see her grand baby on screen!
QOTW: Favorite part of being pregnant right now definitely has to be the flutters @TerraMae80 Couldn't agree with you more! I've felt the flutters now for a couple of weeks and recently I felt a few jabs... I have convinced myself that these little jabs are the baby and not some other bodily function haha. I also love when one side of my belly (lately the right) gets super hard... I think that's where they baby is hanging out Can't wait until this little baby is using my tummy as a punching bag!
My least favorite part would have to be my pregnancy pillow and the side sleeping. I'm a back sleeper so this whole not sleeping on my back thing is really uncomfortable. We just got a new mattress which has helped with my hip pain (thank goodness) but the side sleeping while trying to snuggle my Snoogle has been a challenge. BUT I will say that I'll take every bit of discomfort and pain for the little human growing inside of me... it's all worth it
Good Afternoon! I'm new to this thread. I'll be 14weeks tomorrow with one baby girl, my EDD is 8/23/16! My next appointment is on March 25th. We just had an appointment last Friday, and she was super active during the ultrasound, kicking and moving around. And we heard a her heartbeat for the first time. It was amazing! It's been such a great feeling knowing that I finally have this little life that we've been praying for growing inside me! I think because of our struggle with fertility, I've also been overly anxious about everything being healthy, which has been difficult. All in all, I'm so relieved to finally be coming into my 2nd trimester, and I'm really focusing on all of the great things ahead!
QOTW: My favorite part of being pregnant is all of the support and well wishes that we've received from family and friends. Everyone is so excited for us, especially those that have known our struggle. I love hearing how loved my little girl is already. Least favorite part is waking up 3-4 times a night to pee!

@mechelita44 I can't wait to feel those big jabs again. I feel the flutters on and off and sometimes I don't feel them for days. I'm so glad I have a doppler. LOL
@Vagarcia16 So good to see you here!!!!!

The spotting issue has definitely been my least favorite part of pregnancy. I have so many favorites, though. My top has to be watching my husband's excitement and hearing him talk to the baby. I need to get a journal and write dow. what he says. Last week, I thought my heart could explode with love from listening to him talk to the baby! I just feel like the happiest, luckiest girl in the world lately!
Hello ladies! It's my last week in the second tri. I can't believe I am 27 weeks already! This pregnancy is flying by. I am sure before long I won't be saying that anymore. lol
My favorite part of pregnancy at the moment is feeling baby boy move so much and SEEING him move from the outside. I love that my DH can now see and feel too. It is truly amazing.
My least favorite part is probably the lower back pain I have been having. I have one of those big pillows but don't really feel like I need it yet, but last night I tried sleeping with a pillow between my legs and woke up with no lower back pain! I am praying this continues!
@riveridgional That is so strange about the clots and spotting. I'd be worried too, it's a good thing you have a Doppler to keep you at ease. Hopefully it will stop soon.

@Vagarcia16 congratulations and best wishes on ur little bean.
@AdorkablePixie All the best for your third trimester. Hope everything will go smoothly for u
Least favorite part: Pregnancy. Just yup, all of that.
Most Favorite part: Him. All of him. Every kick, hiccough, wiggle, or ultrasound image. So in love with this little bean.
@Binnie505 Thank you! Best of luck to you in the rest of your second and third tri! I'll see you over there.
@HBamama2B That's a shame. I love being pregnant! I thought because I had such a hard time getting pregnant I'd have a hard pregnancy, but it hasn't been that way. I think I got really lucky! Isn't feeling movement THE BEST?! I just love it.

I hope it stops soon! You sound so happy and positive when talking about your baby and your husband talking to your baby! Brought a little tear to my eye!
26weeks almost 27! My next appointment is March 4th but I'm going in on Tuesday for Glucose test.
Qotw: favorite part is all the moving he's doing. I love feeling him flip around!
Least favorite part is heartburn. I've never had it in my life and now I'm getting it all the time. Also I have crotch pain when I stand up to walk it's so weird because none of this happened with DD.
@riveridgional that is really scary about the bleeding! I'm sorry you're dealing with that. Does your OB think its SCH?

The spotting went away for 2 days, but is back again this morning. I'm starting to feel more nonchalant about it, which is strange, but probably a good thing.
