*Sensitive* 20 Weeks - Baby Boy 💙💫

[Littlepeax]

We had our 20 week scan and all is well 🙏💫❤️ was so nervous and basically fainted half way through the scan which I didn't even know was possible as I was lying down 🙈 she had to stop scanning but managed to carry on and all seemed well. I do have low lying placenta, but not worrying too much as apparently can change quickly as I grow? Still can't believe we are here. Thank you to everyone who has helped me get here. I have honestly gained so much useful information and advice from this group that I know helped create our gorgeous boy. Yes it's a boy! 💙💫💙

I can’t believe your 20 weeks already , where has that time gone … xxx

[Fudge1980]

Aww a beautiful little boy 💙 well done mummy for keeping him safe. Good job you was lying down 😂 Boys are just wonderful and they adore their mummy’s xx

[Littlepeax in reply to Fudge1980]

I know right 🙈🤣🥴 thanks so much, can't wait to kiss him xx

[Millbanks]

Woohoo!! Congratulations 🥰💖❤️

So funny because I nearly fainted too at one of mine… the stress!!

I also had a low lying placenta so I couldn’t exercise but it did move by 35 weeks

Xxx

[Littlepeax in reply to Millbanks]

Oh really how strange.. it was so random as at the time I didn't feel too stressed - out of nowhere I went very dizzy and sweaty and my eyesight was blurry 🙃 must have been the build up as was worried about bubs health 😅 how you doing lovely how's baby boy? 💙💫

[Millbanks in reply to Littlepeax]

I think for me it was the anxiety. It really pushed my body to the limit!

We’re great thanks! We’re nearly 4 months now and he’s stopped his witching hour, the colic has gone and honestly he’s such a dream. He sleeps through the night (12 hours) and I’m so so so grateful!

Every day I’m so grateful that we persisted with IVF and I did all the research and testing.

I couldn’t imagine life without him xxx

[Littlepeax in reply to Millbanks]

Sorry Millbanks, missed this ❤️ that's amazing to hear.. 12 hours! 😁👏 bless him little dream. I'm so happy for you, you pushed on and it all paid off ❤️💫 you sound like a natural mummy xxx

[Cinderella5 in reply to Littlepeax]

Awww I'm just having a woe me time, I'm OK really I guess....I lost my Mum to cancer in Jan after a short brave fight and my Dad has just suddenly passed away too. Life seems to be testing me a bit at the moment.😪 xx

[Littlepeax in reply to Cinderella5]

I'm so so sorry to hear this Cinderella 😢 😔 that's awful. Both so close together too 🙏😔 thinking of you and sending love and strength xxx ❤️

[Cinderella5 in reply to Littlepeax]

Thanks lovely, just a difficult time but fortunately the boys don't give me too much time to dwell.xxx

[Littlepeax in reply to Cinderella5]

❤️ I bet they are a good distraction. Really hope you're ok xxx

[Jonesy84]

Congrats lovely! A little boy to 🥰boys are the best but I am definitely biased as my first Buba is a boy.We were going to leave ours a surprise but when asked we couldn’t wait and to be honest it felt more real knowing. It’s the best feeling so enjoy…you can get those nursery ideas flowing now 💙💙

[Littlepeax in reply to Jonesy84]

Thank you so much ❤️ hope you're well. My husband said he noticed his little thing straight away when they were checking bubs legs 🤣 he didn't say anything though. Yes defo feels a little more real now! Ah excited to do his little bedroom 😭💙 xxx

[Jonesy84 in reply to Littlepeax]

Yes we are good thanks lovely. Little one is crawling and climbing so that brings a while load of different fun haha xx

[Littlepeax in reply to Jonesy84]

Ahhh they grow so quick! I bet haha need eyes at the back of your head lol xxx

[Snoopydraws23]

Congratulations! I’m just a little bit ahead of you. My transfer was on 8th March so I’m 21 weeks today. Also told at my 20 week scan that I have a low lying placenta! ☺️ X

[Littlepeax in reply to Snoopydraws23]

Ah big congratulations to you too 🥰 amazing isn't it. Do you know the sex? They didn't seem worried about my placenta, did yours? Xx

[Snoopydraws23 in reply to Littlepeax]

No, we’re going to have a surprise! ☺️ They didn’t seem worried with me either and I have since read that in 90% of cases it moves out of the way. I have another scan at 32 weeks to check! Did they book you in another scan? X

[Littlepeax in reply to Snoopydraws23]

Ahh that's lovely 🥰 yes but at 36 weeks which is a little long and late in the pregnancy 🤔 thinking I should get checked around 32 weeks aswell. How you feeling? Xx

[Snoopydraws23 in reply to Littlepeax]

Sorry for late reply! I’m feel much better now, I had really bad nausea and vomiting from 7-20 weeks so glad that’s finally passed! 😅 How have you been? X

[Littlepeax in reply to Snoopydraws23]

I'm ok thanks, obsessing slightly on baby's movements 😏 some days he kicks often and I can feel it quite hard and then other days not as often and very soft. I know I'm overthinking it a bit but I do get worried 🙈 glad your nausea has passed, it's horrible. I haven't suffered too bad with that, mainly acid reflux for me lol xxx ❤️

[Positivechangeplease]

Aawwww congratulations Littlepeax! FYI I had a low lying placenta at the 22 week scan but it had moved up by the time I hit 36 weeks. Apparently 90% do.

[Littlepeax in reply to Positivechangeplease]

Thanks so much 🥰💫 and that's so good to hear. I read on Tommy's website that IVF can make you have a low lying placenta, not sure how exactly but interesting. Oh and having a baby boy, and having endo! So I have all 3 lolz xxx

[Positivechangeplease in reply to Littlepeax]

Yes I don’t know either, it must be due to the placement of the embryo. They also weren’t worried about it at the 22 week scan as it didn’t count as placenta previa as it wasn’t covering the cervix. If it was they’d have told you.

[Thea114]

Congratulations!!! So happy and pls take care! 😊

[Littlepeax in reply to Thea114]

Thanks so much 🥰💫

[Eternalwarrior]

Congratulations, lovely!!! 20 weeks already?! Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy!! Love xxx

[Littlepeax in reply to Eternalwarrior]

I know haha flown by! Thanks so much lovely Eternalwarrior. Hope you and bubs are both doing well. Lovely to hear from you 🥰💫

[Riri88]

So happy to hear all is well! Enjoy that feeling and hopefully you will feel him kicking away soon!

[Littlepeax in reply to Riri88]

Thank you ❤️💫 yes feeling a few kicks here and there 🥰 so amazing

[Bozo_the_pumpkin]

Congratulations on reaching this big mile stone! Xx

[Littlepeax in reply to Bozo_the_pumpkin]

Thank you ❤️ hope you're both doing well xxx

[LizzieBW]

Hey Littlepea 🙂

Congratulations ❤ lovely update!

Totally get you could well have just fainted from stress of the appointment but I thought really worth saying I got chronically dizzy and also passed out during +2nd trimester any time I lay on my back. Slowly I'd feel my world greying over and learnt to spot the early signs things were going south 🙃 a midwife explained it's the weight of the baby etc on a large vein that pumps blood when you lie on your back! (Apologies if you know all of this just thought worth mentioning). My midwife told me to tell sonographers and MWs at all future appointments that I needed to lie on my side for scans to avoid the horrid experience 😄

Anyway! Lovely to read your update, I remember chatting to you way back at the start of my IVF journey so it's fab to see your success story. Xx

[Littlepeax in reply to LizzieBW]

Thanks so much Lizzie. So lovely to hear from you. And this makes so much sense so thanks for explaining. It was so random but I was basically on my back with the ultra sound pressed down firmly on my stomach so this sounds most likely. She told me to sit up or turn to my side but I was to out of it to move 🙈 then I've got my husband shouting worrying ARE YOU OK and I'm like ay what's happening lol 🥴🥴🥴 felt very dizzy out of no where and it last a while probably cause I stayed in that position 🙈

Aww look how far us endo warriors have come 🥰 huge congratulations to you on the birth of your baby 🥰 hope all is going well xxxx

[LizzieBW in reply to Littlepeax]

Ohhh yes then it sounds like that's what happened for you too. Mine would also wipe me out for longer than just a wee lightheadedness. Haha it made me laugh so much imagining your Hubby shouting in the background, bless him.

So amazing to have overcome the odds against us with endo, without a doubt 🙌 so grateful every day! Hope the rest of your pregnancy is comfortable and I bet you just can't wait to meet little bubs now 😍 xx

[Littlepeax in reply to LizzieBW]

🤣 I know bless him. Last thing you want to do when your passing out is speak haha. He felt bubs kick today for the first time ❤️

Thank you so much, really can't wait to meet him ❤️💫❤️

[FrancyItaly]

Wonderful news! 🥰💙
