I have been feeling some flutters but they are definitely not getting regular. I think it is very normal for TTM+ to feel it early on. Although, I like to make sure I know what I'm feeling is actual movement and not just gas. 😂
With my last pregnancy, I felt regular movement at the end of 13 weeks. I felt it throughout the day so I was certain of what I was feeling.
I've thought once or twice I felt something but it's not consistent so I cant confidently say I've felt baby yet. And unless its consistent, I cant tell if it gas or baby movement 😂 they feel similar in the beginning to me.
EDD/Weeks + Days: November 15/ uh 13+5 I think? Just got off work, idk what day it is right now 😂
Baby is the size of a(n):
Lemon
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green:
Finding out Sunday hopefully!
Upcoming Appointments:
Sunday we're doing a 4d ultrasound, then regular baby doc at the end of the month.
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms):
Some weird cravings. I wanted KFC. BAD. To the point that we made a special trip 45 miles from home so I could get some. I do not like KFC, I have never WANTED KFC. And it's all I could think about for like 3 weeks.
Rants/Raves:
My sister in law is making me crazy. I won't bore anyone with details, because it's mostly me being petty. But I'm reallllllly having to practice some serious self control here.
Questions:
Anyone else throw up when they're hungry? I'm not having any sort of morning sickness really, but holy crap it's bad when I get really hungry. I'll mention it to my doctor at my next appointment, or is it something I should call about?
GTKY: Do you have a nickname you are calling baby?
Sooo.... we have a robot vacuum that for some reason I decided to call Kevin. Then when I found out I was knocked up, my first thought was "I'm gonna call it kevin". We are not considering Kevin as an actual name, I've never wanted the name kevin for anything. But for some reason that's what my pregnant brain decided on, so that's what most people are calling it. My grandpa is calling it Katherine Marie, because he thinks it's gonna be a girl. Personally I usually refer to it as my parasite.
@angieeeeee Haha, I've been calling it a parasite since I went to the ER at 5 weeks and the doctor told me that my symptoms were so bad because "your body is trying to reject the parasite"!
Also, I definitely get sick when I'm hungry or have low blood sugar. I've been able to stave it off by keeping snacks in my purse and munching here and there. Might be worth mentioning to your doctor, but no cause for alarm.
I think I felt baby a couple times, but very inconsistently so far. Hoping to really start feeling her for sure over the next couple weeks! I don't think I felt my son until like 22w.
@angieeeeee & @alaluap - I have definitely called my prior pregnancies parasites. Leech was also a fun one to throw around as well because it keeps sucking up all my strength. I also called my first a dragon because the amount of heartburn I was having was unreal. ^_^
I am jealous of everyone who has been feeling movement. Once in a blue moon I'll feel something at night before I go to bed but nothing consistent enough for me to say with confidence it is the baby vs my overactive imagination. 15 weeks today though so hopefully soon!!
Baby is the size of a(n): a ripe apricot. I guess tomorrow I'll switch though
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: We were still on the fence a little, but I think we've decided to find out this time. We were Team Green with our son and I loved it, but it feels appropriate, for some reason lol, to find out this time!
Upcoming Appointments: I just had my 12ish week appointment yesterday. Nice heartbeat on the doppler and I did my NIPT draw. I'll hopefully have the results before the long weekend next week.
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Mostly ok. No cravings. My digestion is definitely slowing down. I feel like I just have general back and pelvic aches that make me feel like an old woman. So that's cool...
Rants/Raves: It's been a super hectic week for us, and this weekend won't be much of a break either so I'm sort of not even looking forward to it : I I've been traveling a lot for work and I abhor TB app and couldn't even get signed in so I haven't been posting or even lurking much! I'll try to catch up a bit today. I was happy for a good 12 week appointment and will be anxious for my NIPT results!
Questions: nothing at the moment. I'm really considering cloth diapering this time around so if anyone wants to chat about that, lmk lol
GTKY: Do you have a nickname you are calling baby? BG.
@LoneStar21416 I clothed my first, and really enjoyed it and was happy with the decision. We just recently packed up the diapers to start potty training. Feel free to ask if you have any questions!
I cloth diapered my second and third baby. Honestly, the added laundry and work load of keeping up with the diapers was too much for me when I had 3 kids and 1 being sick all the time. Something had to go and it made sense for it to be cloth diapering. I'm also not a huge fan of the way the fluff butt looks. That is probably a UO. 🙈 I like how slim a disposable diaper is under their clothes.
Im going to try CDing more with this one. I did sporadically with my first and love how a cloth diaper looks alone (really dislike babies in only a plastic diaper) but agree I dont love how they look under clothes. So in the summer when we sre hanging out at home cloth is awesome. Plus Im excited to be able to use our supply again. I was really starting to think we wouldn't get to!
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: we find out at the gender reveal on 6/1!
Upcoming Appointments: I have another round of bloodwork on 6/7...sad there won't be an ultrasound...
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): still more aversions than cravings. Tired all the time.
Rants/Raves: house shopping while pregnant is draining...emotionally, physically, and financially
Questions: none right now!
GTKY: Do you have a nickname you are calling baby? I have these stuffed llamas that I love, so my husband has taken to calling the baby, "Baby Llama" lol
