Maybe its just a little mellow baby girl :) and thats why "she" acts different than your son?
ugh. not to be the pessimist, but I hate being pregnant. I am thankful that my baby girl is ok so far (i'm 26 weeks) but this pregnancy is my third and lets just say it was ... unplanned. I'm not leaving the hospital without my tubes tied,lol. I wasn't in the greatest health before I got pregnant (I suffer from severe general anxiety and moderate major depressive disorder) I am untreated as most meds are not safe during pregnancy and I just can't wait until April gets here. Acid reflux, sciatica, pelvic bone seperation, and for some reason I get hives like crazy this time. but at least i'm past the halfway point! This is just extremely hard for me to handle with a mood disorder and mental health issues. I'm happy it isn't worse though.
I started to feel my baby move at 13 weeks though! lol..this baby dont move as much as my son did! I think its because i have weight on my belly already! ?
This is so exciting, I wanted to post another comment!!!!!! once again I'm 23 wks 2 days. lol.. My son is so active, there isn't more than 5 minutes that pass without him kicking, or fluttering. His name is Cole Patrick.. OOOO so cute!!!!! I'm planning my baby shower soon, actually very soon, I gotta have the invitations out by the end of the month so I better get on that.lol I figured 32 wks along would be a great time to have a baby shower. And I'm looking forward to the after shower so I can go shopping without buying anything I'm gonna have already. I am ordering the bed set, car seat, high chair, swing, pack n' play, stroller and diaper bag off from babiesrus.com sometime within the month and I can't wait.
worried: I really wanted to get the 3d u/s next month, its like 100 dollars here I want it so bad but everyone's trying to talk me out of it, cause it could be harmful to the baby. And mostly people get those later on if they couldn't tell the sex at the 20 wk u/s. So they figure since I know that I shouldn't take any chance, and use that money on baby stuff. But I would love to see my baby again before he gets here. So what should I do? Listen or do it behind their backs? lol
Well anyway I'm just so excited... Especially since I do feel like it was yesterday when I found out I was 4 wks pregnant!!! Now I'm three weeks away from being in the third trimester already!!! Well good luck to all and Congrats to all the second trimesters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am 20 weeks 2 days!! i feel my little girl moving all the time, but mostly when i lay down! i think she's still little to make big kicks for me to feel when im standing. we have decided to name her arianna grace (which means very holy and god's favor...which i LOVE)...im going to start planning my baby shower in about a month...im so excited i want it to come faster!! and im so ready to start working on the nursery although i think im gonna make myself have a little more patience with that one...its nice being in this stage,,,theres not too much to worry about..the only thing i really fear right now is preterm labor. but im young & healthy so i dont think im at too much risk for that!! im feeling braxton hicks now every once in awhile..they dont hurt very much just kinda feel like a charlie horse in your leg would but not quite as painful! oh & i play with my heartbeat doppler all the time, i LOVE it..i rented it from baby beat for 27 dollars for one month...i have to return it soon but im thinking about renting it for another month,, i worry so much at random times and it really has helped me a ton! (so highly recommended)....i only have one more ultrasound to look forward to at 28 weeks..it'll be 4d and its $120..YIKES..but completely worth it..anyways i think that about does it, sorry for the novel!! :) oh and rosa i think that your placenta could just be on the front of your uterus instead of the back, which can muffle some of little baby's movements but is totally normal & safe. mine is on the back, thats why i started feeling her at 17 weeks.
oh and Rosa, every pregnancy is different! just because this little one is more mellow doesnt mean anything is wrong with him/her! My little man didnt start kicking at all until 21 weeks...i only felt flutters! i was freaking out....but he is just as healthy as ever!
