  𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: RAVE - We had our anatomy scan yesterday and everything looked great, only thing that kinda sucked is that we have to go back in a few weeks due to baby moving around too much and avoiding being seen haha. I’m not too upset about it be that just means that we get to see him again. He’s been moving all around since the scan which is a big relief.

  𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rant? Life has been beating me up lately! I had my anatomy scan yesterday and thankfully baby girl is doing great and growing well, but I have a low lying placenta and am now on pelvic rest and have to take it easy. I had taken a few days of work off this week to get some projects done and now I can't physically do them so I'm feeling stressed about getting stuff done and having to actually be dependent on others. Since I have been having some cramping, I'm now so scared that I could go into pre-term labor. They said if I start bleeding there is nothing they can do to stop it and I would have to deliver. Considering we aren't at viability yet, I'm terrified!!

  
  

  𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: Anyone have a low lying placenta or placenta previa in a previous pregnancy and have any words of encouragement?

  
  

  𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What is your favorite hobby? Are you making anything for your little one?
  Reading, but I also like to knit/crochet. I haven't done much of that at all, but I did buy a little snuggly duck kit to make for the little one. I'm afraid to start it now, but I plan to!

  @lappymom2019 I don't have personal experience, but I talk to a lot of moms about their pregnancies in my job and quite a few have had placenta previa that resolved naturally with no complications 😊

  Thank you so much for that! That's definitely encouraging. At this point I feel like I'm just nervous about making it to 24 weeks and taking it easy.

  𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rave: Had my anatomy scan today and all looks good! Little guy was snug as a bug and didn’t want to move much. Different than his big brother, who wouldn’t stop moving during ultrasounds! 

  
  

  Rant: Work is so busy lately! I keep waiting for things to slow down a bit, but they are not. I can’t complain too much though bc I have a very supportive team and we are great at chipping in for each other.

  I like to cook and to read through cookbooks! With my first, I enjoyed making big batch freezer meals in the weeks leading up to birth, which came in handy later on. I’ll do the same this time around! I also liked making tasty purées for my son when we were transitioning to solids. I may dabble a bit more in baby led weaning this time around, but also looking forward to prepping the purées that my son liked!

  @lappymom2019 Big hugs! I’ve heard the same as @butterflyhunny about placenta previa - with pelvic rest and extra monitoring, things end up resolving themselves or are a non issue. Still hard not to worry though! What I’m reading online is that it may increase your chances of a c-section. So that’s something to possibly prepare for.

  @bigworldlittleg how smart to prep a bunch of meals! I did baby led weaning with my first and it was great but I will probably do the opposite and add purees this time. I didn’t do any purees last time and my kid is still super picky when she ate everything during the baby led weaning stage so not sure how much it mattered😂

  𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: Rave - I started looking into prenatal education and classes and am so happy with the availability of free, verified online resources where I live!
  Rant - fiancé has been away for basically two weeks now and I feel like a sad sucky human and am tired of cooking all the meals myself lol!

  I really enjoy gardening and quilting. I plan to make a big garden this year which will benefit the babe but I don’t know that I’ll make a baby quilt. I feel like I’ll be gifted a few. Not my hobby, but my mom went to school way back in the day for graphic design and is extremely artistic and is coming to visit for Mother’s Day weekend and painting us a nursery mural!

  I’m making him like, a heart and spine and stuff and I think he should be grateful for that because that’s all my plate can handle.😂

  @lappymom2019 hi!! I was also informed at my anatomy scan that I have a low lying placenta. I’m very active with strength training and Pilates and my doc said I could continue, just not to have sex or insert anything vaginally (bummer lol). I felt good when I left but then turned to the internet and panicked! So then I followed up with my private doctor and she said it should naturally move up and just to be careful with sex and not to worry. I have another ultrasound at 28 weeks to check the movement. I know every body is different and definitely listen to your doctor but my advice is to def stay away from the internet when you can lol ask your doc specific questions and maybe it will bring you some ease!

  Good overall, just tired! I want to start exercising more often and figuring out a space for a nursery area and baby stuff. Sometimes I feel guilty because I haven’t been doing any of that. 

  
  

  𝗥𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀/𝗥𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀: 

  I haven’t had my anatomy scan yet. I’m excited and nervous for it at the same time (just in terms of the “what ifs”).

  I like thrifting, so I will probably try to find some (safe) baby items at the thrift shop. I’ve been reading about what is safe/not safe to buy from an unknown/preowned source. 

  
  The projects sound awesome that you all are working on!

  𝗚𝗧𝗞𝗬: What is your favorite hobby? Are you making anything for your little one? I also like reading, and researching and planning (not sure if that counts as a hobby 😂). We are homeschooling our kids so recently I've been a bit obsessed with getting stuff ready for our preschooler because I know once baby is here I won't have the time/energy to plan all that. 
  
  I do like to sew, knit and crochet, also quilt, but I haven't had much time for it the past few years. I don't think I'll be making anything for this baby and they will probably be in mostly hand me downs, at least until they are old enough to actually care about what they wear.
