And forgot to say @SpringChicken26 I am 21 weeks Sunday and have an anterior placenta too.

Thanks for the reply @klc75 ! I'm in my 20s and healthy but my partners cousin is only 19 bless her so just goes to show just because your young and healthy sometimes these things just happen ! It's so hard isn't it every one keeps asking me have you been feeling kicks and then seem surprised when I say no ! I'm trying not to be that annoying partner that is constantly messaging him ! I'm honestly not normally this needy !

OMG maybebaby A GIRL!!!! S.C.I.E.N.C.E!!!!!!!!!

@springchicken I've been surprised by anxiety sitting closer to the surface than usual. I am a fairly anxious person but I usually manage to keep that in the background. Apparently not with pregnancy! I hope you've got something nice to do today? It's quite good weather where we are, how about you?

What's helped me so far is to blurt and ask for help. So when boyfriend couldn't make scan and I realised the day before I was freaking out a bit, I asked my mum to come and booked a pregnancy massage before the scan (highly recommend massage btw!). And I just blurted at the sonographer that I'd been feeling a bit anxious about scan. It worked really well so I've decided that's how I'm going to do it if I start feeling anxious again. I'm just going to declare to people how I'm feeling, I'm going to set up nice things for myself, and I'll ask for help.

We have friends who lost a baby very soon after birth, and I think just the knowledge that such a terrible thing can happen is very unsettling. I think it's meant I've hung back on getting too connected with bump in early days and I will prob buy stuff late. Logically we know that it's rare, but of course brain locks on to it. If it helps, most people I've talked to have said it's a really common fear re baby and not having movements yet. I also have difficulty telling whether I have movement or bowel movement ;) and am now 21 weeks. He's definitely a wriggly baby, as sonographer had to work really hard to get stills of him. I reckon he's just hanging out somewhere weird so I don't feel him that much.

Definitely recommend the something nice approach, hope you have a relaxing weekend xx

@reetgood the massage sounds amazing I'm definitely going to look into this!
I know I will probably be worrying for the next 18 years now but it's just so hard when you can't see or feel that they are doing ok in there !
It's such a cruel world that these things happen to such innocent little beings ! :-(
Think I'm going to go for a nice country walk just me and the dog today and then start on clearing out some of those dreaded cupboards to keep myself busy ! x

@SpringChicken26 I've been super anxious since the day I found out I was pregnant, and I wouldn't say I'm generally a particularly anxious person - its really hard not to think the worse and consult google at every little thing, I do it all the time! I also have a friend that recently went in to early labour at 15 weeks - it's scary but we just have to try and remember that it really isn't that common and that chances are everything is absolutely fine - I'm 'trying' to be more relaxed as time goes on but it is difficult.

I second doing nice things for yourself like a pregnancy massage (I had one with clarins and it was amazing!) and keeping yourself busy - it will help!

Results from scan

Team Blue

Welcome to the team @Isabeau1980 !! 💙💙

Congrats on your boy!

Is anyone else missing drinking? It's always on the last day of work before weekend I want a prosecco or gin. I didn't miss it at all last time but really craving a nice drink this time. Maybe dealing with 2 year old tantrums is what does it.

@Waitingonasmile Absolutely!! DH is under strict instructions to have gin, tonic and fresh lime upon my arrival home from hospital!! Only 18 weeks left

@Waitingonasmile I'm the same. I can go months without drinking but now I really fancy one. I've also got a 2 year old so think it must be him driving me to drink lol! I've had a few non alcoholic ciders, I can't really taste any difference. I've been putting it in a tall glass with ice & a slice of lime, really treating myself!

Couldn't help myself 🙈 Getting some winter baby girl stuff. Need to cut up my credit card!

And oh god yes to missing a drink or two. On these really hot days I've been missing a cold glass of crisp white wine.

@Waitingonasmile I'm not even a big drinker normally, but I would bloody love a gin and tonic and have been fancying one for ages!! I think it's knowing that you can't that makes you want it more haha!

Ok we all have teams now :) Thanks maybebaby!

Being due in January we all manage to miss the best drinking times-Christmas and summer. I might get some 0% alcohol Kopparberg.

I wonder how many of us will end up with December babies! We might even have a few Christmas or New Year ones.

Oh Springchicken sorry I missed your post earlier. How utterly devastating for your cousin to lose a baby at full term. I think about this more than I should because I know it happens, something like 15 babies a week in the UK are stillborn. Most of the time there was nothing that could have been done to save these babies. It's so heartbreaking and a reminder that nothing is certain until the baby is alive in your arms.

I'm 22 weeks tomorrow and just now starting to feel regular little kicks and elbows. Anterior placentas suck!

Really wanted a nice cider in the sun yesterday. A lemonade just isn't the samended.

I've been well naughty and having the odd little glass. Little beer/shandy or small glass of wine here or there. Was sipping prosecco last night on a meal out with my sis. It was sooooo good!

Just catching up.
mills definitely SCIENCE! 😂 Thanks for updating edd list with the teams. Should we still post a list just of the girls and boys, bit easier to count up?

waitingon I didn't even know 0% Kopperburg existed! This has made me quite happy and I will be buying some asap!!

springchicken sorry you've been having a difficult time. So hard when someone close to you goes through something like that and it is bound to make you feel anxious. All I can do is echo the advice others have given and I hope that you are feeling better soon Have you had your 20 week scan yet and would a private reassurance scan be an option? I think it's such a long gap between the 20 week scan and birth that if I wasn't having to have a scan at 34 weeks I'd consider a private one.

Just a psa that co-op do a fairly decent no alcohol g&t in a can in some stores. I was so delighted when someone offered me one! And Nanny State from brewdog is the best no alcohol beer I've tried - an ale rather than lager. I've also been having a glass of prosecco at weddings kind of thing.

Speaking of weddings, I was at one yesterday and I feel like I'm really paying for it today. Dancing, standing and sitting on hard benches... I feel like I creak! And last night I was getting real twinges. Moving slowly today. Is this just what happens? All seemed like good things to do (apart from the benches) but how can dancing knacker me that much? I had to take breathers between songs, too, as my cardio capacity has gone nothing. I am used to being able to rely on basic fitness levels and this is weirding me out. I ran before getting pregnant and even when I hadn't gone out for ages I was able to get a couple of miles in straight off. I stopped running in first trimester as felt too tired at first, then didn't feel like it. Now I'm getting out of breath walking up hills. Those of you who've kept up with the activity, how is it working for you? Any tips for achiness?

18 +5 today with an anterior placenta and I can swear the baby was kicking and moving about lastnight!! Felt much stronger than the little flutter/pop sensations I had been feeling! & I'm 99.9% sure it was not wind! It felt amazing! I am shocked as I expected not to feel anything for at least another 2-3 weeks with my placenta! My little boy must be a strong kicker!! 💙

Aw that's fab gemxo

I had a really spicy dinner last night and there was wriggling for the rest of the evening.

Can I just add, please no one take my post as a reason to worry if you have an anterior placenta and have felt nothing!! My sister had one and didn't feel any movements until 22 weeks, that's why I'm so shocked!

@reetgood I used to get knackered after attending a wedding before getting pregnant, generally I find them exhausting! I've managed to keep up with the physical activity and am still going to CrossFit about 4 times a week with a few miles of dog walking each day. Strangely I've found that keeping active helps me feel better, it really helped with the nausea in the first trimester! Gentle stretching has also helped with any aches and I'm making sure I rest if my body is feeling tired and put my feet up. Definitely noticed a difference in my fitness levels more recently though

Hi @maybebaby yes had 16 week gender scan and 20 week reassurance scan everything seems ok ! Have a private scan booked for 27weeks so it's not actually that long to wait but still feels like a lifetime away. Feeling a little better today trying to keep myself busy and be positive even made myself buy a nursery set from Argos as I got a bargain on it ! Onwards and upwards must try and stay positive !
@millsbynight I'm team blue !! Well as long as the sonographerbis right and it wasn't the umbilical cord the private sonographer showed us but the nhs one just said yes will probably be a boy and I'm sure she didn't even look ! 🤔
