I had bleeding at 25 weeks. It was a Sunday at 4pm. My neighbor who is an L&D nurse told me to head to the ER in order to go to L&D. They hooked me up to a monitor for 30 minutes and once the bleeding stopped they confirmed everything was good!! It’s terrifying but never be afraid to head to the hospital. And I second not getting a Doppler. And just because baby has a strong heartbeat doesn’t mean something else isn’t wrong and you might not seek care.
Not the best post to put up I think, especially to someone who's already been worried sick about there pregnancy the last thing they want to hear is negativity about bleeding and because bays heart is beating don't mean there's nothing else wrong you just shouldn't put these things on and cause more worry or something for someone to think or worry about !
@ my intent was to let her know while bleeding is scary it’s not uncommon, and she can ALWAYS go to the ER. And I completely agree with her about not getting a Doppler.
@Kcorra I wasn't aware she had any bleeding I might have missed it but if I did I apologise for my comment about that, but any negative posts will cause some anxiety to read especially with first baby, this is just my personal thoughts .
When I was pregnant with my second child I felt a flutter like butterfly wings off and on at 3 months. I didn’t know what to think but the flutters got stronger and stronger. My daughter was trying to tell me she was there. I definitely think you are feeling this precious child.
I completely feel for you! Had really bad pregnancies in terms of nausea and a bit of bleeding. I remember going to my ob and he was asking me how i feel. “Like shit” i would reply. He was smiling and replying “obstertically you are doing FINE”. Yeah, thanks doc. I stopped taking vitamins. They would make me mega sick. Was only taking folic acid
The flutter is definitely baby!!! I felt my baby very early bc I would kinda sit on my knees scrunched up on the couch when I would look at my window. I think my body being scrunched allowed me to feel baby earlier!
Poor Maggie, welcome to pregnancy brain. When I was pregnant with my son (#4 out of 6) I put the paper towels in the freezer. Then I went crazy trying to find them later. He is now 32 and we all have a good laugh about it!
Yes❣️❣️The fluttering is the baby, I remember it feeling like little butterflies 🦋 softy moving their wings, it was the best, but just wait until you actually can see movement, I remember my son pushing on my stomach and I could actually see his foot and toes pushing on my belly, Love and Blessings✝️🙏🏼☮️🕊️🧸🍼❣️
So sorry to hear about your continued nausea. I used to feel sick every day at 7 pm like clockwork. I would lay down in bed and listen to soft music. It helped me keep my mind off of how bad i felt. Hang in there.... brighter days are ahead.
Just a hint of how I reduced my acidic vomits. My vomit has always been highly acidic and violent, so violent it comes out my noise and mouth at the same time. I learned to keep an insulated mug (I use one of the Aladdin 34 oz insulated mugs) with water in the bathroom, you can use tap water or ice water. Since my vomits have always been so nasty, I learned gulping as much water just prior to vomiting completely reduces the burning and most times it also keep me from being so violent it mostly does not comes out nose also.
I always felt my kids around 13-14 weeks, despite what the "experts" said. :) It's been decades since I have been pregnant, but I remember it clearly. It just got stronger as the babies got bigger.
I feel you, friend, it is so awful. I would feel nasauous 24/7, and I cried a lot every day. I would gag multiple times a day. I never threw up, but the nausea was so debilitating that I lost 15 pounds with my first pregnancy and 7 with the second one. Everything tasted so bad, even water. It was a metallic taste, very weird. I started feeling better at 18 weeks for my first and 14 for the second one. Frozen grapes helped a bit. You will feel better ❤
I felt those flutters too at about 12 weeks. Definitely baby!! It’s the most special feeling in the world. Because I, too, had years of infertility, when I was finally pregnant, every little symptom ( even the gross stuff) seemed like a miracle to me. Those miracles are now 49, 43, and 39! 🤣 All I can say is live in the moment and enjoy every single second. It goes so fast. You are going to hear that advice a gazillion times not just during pregnancy but also as you are raising your little one. But it’s so true. The days are long but the years are short. ❤️❤️
I skipped a doppler for my pregnancy. I didn’t feel it was necessary. If I had concern, I just called the OB and they had me come in to confirm baby was okay.
Albeit your cold and common pregnancie symptoms, i.e morning sickness, i am still so happy and excited for you & zac for your soon to be little family. I have watched most all your videos, your ups and downs, This so wonderful to hear. 😊😊❤
I'm so happy all is going well😊 I had a little blood/clot incident at the same stage and was scared too, and like you, my dr assured me it was normal . I'm glad to hear you not refer to your belly as bloated this time cuz the thinner you are, the quicker you noticed your body changing. I too had a belly before 10 was & had to hide it until I told everyone when I was 13 weeks. It's just your body making room for baby ahead of time 🙂
Getting up to pee at night is Gods way of preparing you for getting up with baby at night. So so happy for you. Enjoy this 2 trimester. This baby is such a blessing
Welcome to the second trimester! I cannot wait for more baby videos from you ❤ I tragically had morning sickness till about weel 26 for all my pregnancies 😅 praying yours does not go that far. But also, mine never started till week 13. Wishing you all the best 🎉 Just a tip for what helped me was to just snack. Never let your tummy empity. I never ate actual meals, i just had like x2 cheese and cracker every hour, or a slice of apple, just a constant stream of snacking ❤
Take heart, Maggie. Second semester is the semester every pregant woman loves, because most feel great--full of energy and any nausea has disappeared!😊 (Third semester is when you'll get tired again!)
@@LetsTalkIBD I am in week 24 and it got better. Still puked up the glucose from the diabetes test but I am no longer sad, when someone says something like 2nd trimester is the best.
@@LetsTalkIBD I've had 6 babies (ending with twins), and I have never liked the first trimester, but I love the rest of pregnancy. OK, I didn't exactly LOVE the last 3-4 weeks carrying twins lol, but I loved everything else after the first trimester every pregnancy. You are going to love when you can feel, then see, the baby moving. It's awesome! Magical! ❤❤
Magz, im so so happy for you two! You re gonna be amazing patents! Usually i feel that sharing so much in internet is not good, but then watch your update videos and thinking about yours child, when he or she will watch and feel that stron love. He or she is so so soooo wanted! Im jelly 😁😁!!! Best wishes for your Family from Poland! ❤️
I’m so excited for you! I’m 65 so it’s been a while but I loved being pregnant until the last week. Enjoy every minute. Can’t wait to see that little one!
Yes indeed the whole pregnancy is just so giant!! The morning sickness can be horrific. I feel for you, my first pregnancy I was sick into (just into) my 3rd trimester. It does slow down, but it was still there. Get those small bottles or Coke or Sprite and keep it on your nightstand just sip it here and there. I’m so sorry you are still dealing with the sickness. It’s really a lot😢
Right before you said it I was thinking you’re about the time to start feeling the baby move. I lost my first and had a few scares with my second so when I felt her move it was the most exciting, amazing feeling in the world!
I had a stuffy nose and sinus crud a lot when I was pregnant it totally disappeared right after birth. That being said I could smell like I had a super power and some smells that I would normally love were the worst! I could barely cook a mean the first trimester the smell would make me so sick when cooking meat. So you may be very sensitive to smells for a long time. But I did feel so much better after 15 weeks. I felt great after that until the last three weeks. I was so tired and so big BUT I loved being pregnant it was amazing growing a little human! I can tell you are so excited and happy to have all these symptoms. Love the fluttering it’s absolutely amazing. I am loving all the memories I am getting listening to you! I can’t wait to hear more.
I got a doppler after miscarriages and glad I did. I am a nurse NOW, but I wasn't then. I was able to find the HB consistently. Just start low and then work your way up the further you get along. :)
Sweetie don’t lay flat, try sleeping in a recliner for awhile. It helps with the acid coming back up, also if you have severe reflux you can mix a little baking soda in a shot of warm water. Not on a daily basis but it does help kill the burn pretty quick. Also quickening or fist baby kicks feels like tiny popping bubbles. Your little one is rocking and rolling in there.
You're actually about right on time to feel flutters! Once baby (I'm thinking girl) is larger, around 6-7 months along, you'll notice baby will kick and move more when you're still. Think of your uterus as a rocking chair. The more you move, the less you'll feel unless baby wants you still. If baby wants you to sit, you'll get the crud kicked out of you.
Remember the old BRAT diet? That was what I was told to eat during morning sickness. A dry piece of toast with a hint of butter, little cups of applesauce, good luck with bananas and rice. LOL. So glad everything with baby is ok.
When I was about 4 months pregnant, my little one felt like little bubbles. It was so amazing. I only felt it on two occasions. I still remember the exact dates they occurred (11yrs ago). Beautiful feeling. Glad you have experience possibly something similar. God Bless.
Flutter can begin as early as 12 weeks and can become more frequent before the thud starts. Folic acid helps nails and hair. You getting sick can slow that on your head. I often wonder if that was related to circulation with respiratory in my case. As your uterus expands, the placenta shifts and flatten. If yours is facing the front, that's the heartbeat issue. It's something that might not significantly improve. Very happy for you despite the sickness. Wishing you the best.
Yay for second trimester!! Boo for morning sickness! I’m also in my second trimester and just used your link and got the chocolate medley with the free sample pack in the mail yesterday! So many herbal teas seem off limits and I wanted some delicious hot drinks for the winter.
Old wives tale from a nurse I had when pregnant many years ago….i had terrible heartburn and the nurse told me that’s a sign Baby will be born with a lot of hair. My daughter had a head full of beautiful curly red hair! Who know if it was just a coincidence or wisdom from a very seasoned nurse?
You’ve been through it the last few weeks. Hang in there girl because the light at the end of the tunnel is going to be fantastic. I’m so happy for you guys and can’t wait to hear your baby names
I believe you! I was 12 weeks feeling my first baby's movements - I was very tiny like you but I know that's what it was. Hoping the rest of your pregnancy continues well - so exciting!
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH! Watching your journey has really impacted my life in a positive way! It makes me soo happy! Thank you so much for everything you have shared! I look forward to seeing more! Sending you love all the way from down under!
The day you said you were pregnant, I said your due date must be May 9. If measuring 4 days ahead was giving May 5, I was right. I've had so many babies, I can compute a due date from a LMP in my head in under 5 seconds. 🤣🤣 The first movements you feel are low exactly where you said, and it sort of feels like bubbles coming up, kind of like carbonation bubbles floating up in that area. Strange way to describe it, but it's true. Most women miss the first movements of their first pregnancy because they don't know what to watch for or associate the "bubble feeling" with movement. You often can feel it early, from 14 weeks on so you may be right about it being baby.
You are doing great! Morning sickness is so hard!! I got super sick at around 12 weeks with my pregnancy and ended up needing an IV for fluids because a just had a day where I couldn't keep anything down even fluids. That seemed to really help and then I still was feeling kind of sick for a few more weeks but then at some point it really was a lot better so don't give up hope! I was less sick with my second pregnancy. It was so amazing when the morning sickness got better because after feeling so sick for so long it just was amazing! but yes morning sickness PTSD is hard
I think that you summed that up so well, the part of "You've got to live". I am currently on Azathioprine and Infliximab for my Crohn's. People think that it is just when flaring on the toilet that your life is disrupted, but actually in medicated remission I am equally disrupted just in a different way. Regardless of wearing masks, I have to assume that I am going to get sick and so have to be intentional when focussing on when to live and what is worth potential consequences. But it isn't all or nothing. I can still choose to go and have fun sometimes. What is the point of being in remission if I can't use my toilet-free time to live?! Not that IBD is just toilets!!! And even in remission, I still never feel well. Ahh fatigue. 💜 It makes me so happy seeing your updates. I am so excited to see you receive in life the amazing things and joy that you deserve. xx
Sorry to hear that you are still struggling with nausea and a cold. Really happy and praying for you to have a safe pregnancy and a wonderful new addition to your family next year. Blessings from the UK 🇬🇧
Snacking was my way to get over nausea… little all the time staved off the sickness. I’m sure you’ve had lots of advice, and heard this before but I cannot be asked to read all the comments! ❤😂
Bless you, as bad as you feel and the sickness is just horrible it's just saying everything is doing what it's supposed to 😊 the baby is taking all the goodness from you and it's all so worth it ❤ hopefully it will wear of soon 😊
When I was preggo with my second child I felt him kick at 9 weeks. Everyone thought I was wrong, that there was no way I could feel him so soon. Well the thing was that I kept feeling my bladder being flicked, as he got bigger the kicks got stronger. He was obsessed with my bladder. Fun fact, after he was born (while nursing him) he would either pinch my tummy or knee it.
The placenta starts at the bottom and over the first trimester it works it’s way up to the top. Though my daughter’s placenta didn’t move up until the middle of her second trimester. Best position is the top. I’m so happy that you’re so happy about knowing what you’re having. Me? I just want them all to be healthy. We love our babies no matter what. Enjoy as much of this time as possible. In my day we didn’t have gender reveal parties. We didn’t know until they came out. I did have a choice but for me, finding out what it’s going to be, helped me stay calm and excited through the labour pains but during delivery I think I would’ve said forget it and gave up with my third. 4 long days of labour and then ended with C-section. But my first two were quick. 3hrs 5 minutes and my second was 1hr and 12 minutes. Practice meditating on your breathing. I took Lamaze and it helped me so much. I wish you and your husband a very happy future together. Take care sweetie. 💝🥰🤗
I got the flu at the end of the second trimester. It was miserable because I couldn’t sleep, coughed so much I couldn’t hold any bodily fluids in (basically it was all involuntary) and had to ask my husband to go buy me adult diapers, and felt so awful for an entire week. Would not wish it on anyone. You can’t hardly take any meds that actually work when pregnant.
Maggie, you are glowing! Your face is fuller. I’m so happy for you. Please check with your doctor about all those electrolytes. You can have too much of a good thing with serious results. Much love.💖🇦🇺
I have a Doppler it helps with the anxiety but with your stoma I wouldn’t since it might not find it right away and cause more worry. Love the updates!!!

The flutters are baby!! For me it felt like butterfly wings…it has been 43 years since my first and I still remember that feeling!
Exactly like butterfly wings! And it's also been 43 years since my first!
Call the midwife says it is like the brush of wings.
My mom describes me inside her as the feeling like butterfly wings.
Same deff felt like a little butterfly was inside me fluttering around very early like first trimester ill never forget that day ❤

What a special gift Zach is getting for his 31! A little one!
I would describe those first movements felt as a "flutter"
💕💙🩷💙🩷💙🩷
It’s so exciting that you have started feeling your baby ❤ Enjoy those little flutters because later the kicks may -literally leave you breathless.😊
My pregnancy was so rough I decided 1 kiddo was all I could handle. I was so jealous of all the other pregnant woman saying how wonderful they felt.
me too! i feel you!
I do have some guilt about how easy my pregnancies were. No nausea.
I completely feel for you! Had really bad pregnancies in terms of nausea and a bit of bleeding. I remember going to my ob and he was asking me how i feel. “Like shit” i would reply. He was smiling and replying “obstertically you are doing FINE”. Yeah, thanks doc.
I stopped taking vitamins. They would make me mega sick. Was only taking folic acid
The flutter is definitely baby!!! I felt my baby very early bc I would kinda sit on my knees scrunched up on the couch when I would look at my window.
I think my body being scrunched allowed me to feel baby earlier!
Maggie, I am so happy for you three. Congratulations!
Poor Maggie, welcome to pregnancy brain. When I was pregnant with my son (#4 out of 6) I put the paper towels in the freezer. Then I went crazy trying to find them later. He is now 32 and we all have a good laugh about it!
LMAO! That's so cute!
@@peppermintpeggy658 Thanks. But I was very embarrassed at the time! 😂😂😂😂
Yes❣️❣️The fluttering is the baby, I remember it feeling like little butterflies 🦋 softy moving their wings, it was the best, but just wait until you actually can see movement, I remember my son pushing on my stomach and I could actually see his foot and toes pushing on my belly, Love and Blessings✝️🙏🏼☮️🕊️🧸🍼❣️
I felt the "flutters" about the same time in my pregnancies as you! Definitely one of the most wonderful feelings in the world!
I remember feeling both of mine at 12 weeks. It was always reassuring to feel them moving.
Keeping y'all in my prayer.
So sorry to hear about your continued nausea. I used to feel sick every day at 7 pm like clockwork. I would lay down in bed and listen to soft music. It helped me keep my mind off of how bad i felt. Hang in there.... brighter days are ahead.
Mine was 6pm everyday
Outside of zophran can they do anything else for you? That sucks!

From a 2x mom and a cancer survivor. Ginger tea and ginger chews are woderful. If you can find Vendor's ginger ale specifically it is amazing!

Awesome on the flutters. So fun
Definitely baby moving. The best part of my pregnancies was the baby kicking and moving

Can't wait until sunday❣️So happy for you. Much love from Sweden❤
You look very well, all your symptoms are normal. You are heading towards having a strong healthy baby in your arms in the Spring. What a thrill.
Flutter can begin as early as 12 weeks and can become more frequent before the thud starts.
Folic acid helps nails and hair. You getting sick can slow that on your head. I often wonder if that was related to circulation with respiratory in my case.
As your uterus expands, the placenta shifts and flatten.
If yours is facing the front, that's the heartbeat issue.
It's something that might not significantly improve.
Very happy for you despite the sickness. Wishing you the best.
Yay for second trimester!! Boo for morning sickness!
I’m also in my second trimester and just used your link and got the chocolate medley with the free sample pack in the mail yesterday! So many herbal teas seem off limits and I wanted some delicious hot drinks for the winter.
Maggie, so sorry you’re not feeling good, but this too will pass. I’m sure the flutters are baby! How fun. Love your videos ❤️🌺
For sinus issues I can't recommend neti rinsing enough. Game changer for me. No more antibiotics
Old wives tale from a nurse I had when pregnant many years ago….i had terrible heartburn and the nurse told me that’s a sign Baby will be born with a lot of hair. My daughter had a head full of beautiful curly red hair! Who know if it was just a coincidence or wisdom from a very seasoned nurse?

So pleased things are going well. I love your video's. from London UK
You’ve been through it the last few weeks. Hang in there girl because the light at the end of the tunnel is going to be fantastic. I’m so happy for you guys and can’t wait to hear your baby names
I believe you! I was 12 weeks feeling my first baby's movements - I was very tiny like you but I know that's what it was. Hoping the rest of your pregnancy continues well - so exciting!
Tiny flutters is how I started feeling my children.
So happy you're doing so well. 😊
So happy for you!! Such an exciting time!! ❤❤❤
Your felling baby. I started feeling my last at 14 weeks. I have a lot of the same issues you have. So yes you are feeling baby.

Strange way to describe it, but it's true. Most women miss the first movements of their first pregnancy because they don't know what to watch for or associate the "bubble feeling" with movement. You often can feel it early, from 14 weeks on so you may be right about it being baby.
You are doing great! Morning sickness is so hard!! I got super sick at around 12 weeks with my pregnancy and ended up needing an IV for fluids because a just had a day where I couldn't keep anything down even fluids. That seemed to really help and then I still was feeling kind of sick for a few more weeks but then at some point it really was a lot better so don't give up hope! I was less sick with my second pregnancy. It was so amazing when the morning sickness got better because after feeling so sick for so long it just was amazing! but yes morning sickness PTSD is hard
A little girl what I think. Many blessings .
Happy you mention the hot chocolate box. It’s a job keeping hydrated.
I am so excited and thrilled your pregnancy is going well!
Awesome! That’s great news. Second trimester. I glad that you and Zak. enjoyed New York City. Nice video.
I am so glad that pregnancy scare was ok for you 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am soooo happy for you and Zack ❤😊❤
I think that you summed that up so well, the part of "You've got to live". I am currently on Azathioprine and Infliximab for my Crohn's. People think that it is just when flaring on the toilet that your life is disrupted, but actually in medicated remission I am equally disrupted just in a different way. Regardless of wearing masks, I have to assume that I am going to get sick and so have to be intentional when focussing on when to live and what is worth potential consequences. But it isn't all or nothing. I can still choose to go and have fun sometimes. What is the point of being in remission if I can't use my toilet-free time to live?! Not that IBD is just toilets!!! And even in remission, I still never feel well. Ahh fatigue. 💜 It makes me so happy seeing your updates. I am so excited to see you receive in life the amazing things and joy that you deserve. xx
Sorry to hear that you are still struggling with nausea and a cold. Really happy and praying for you to have a safe pregnancy and a wonderful new addition to your family next year. Blessings from the UK 🇬🇧
So happy to see you looking good and hear that you're feeling pretty good. 💜
I'm so excited for you thank you for sharing things with us it's very interesting to be in to the journey with you God bless
Snacking was my way to get over nausea… little all the time staved off the sickness. I’m sure you’ve had lots of advice, and heard this before but I cannot be asked to read all the comments! ❤😂
So so excited to you! I’m due May 20, having a little girl. Super excited to follow your pregnancy as i go through mine !
Bless you, as bad as you feel and the sickness is just horrible it's just saying everything is doing what it's supposed to 😊 the baby is taking all the goodness from you and it's all so worth it ❤ hopefully it will wear of soon 😊
The flutters are baby moving around. I'm so excited for you and I look forward to your videos.
Emesis bags are great. Sorry you’re going through that. ❤❤
I'm so excited for you both!!!
Thank you!!
Oh Maggie...I'm so pleased for you and Zac...your such a ray of sunshine...keep strong...love always ❤❤❤Sue xxx
When I was preggo with my second child I felt him kick at 9 weeks. Everyone thought I was wrong, that there was no way I could feel him so soon. Well the thing was that I kept feeling my bladder being flicked, as he got bigger the kicks got stronger. He was obsessed with my bladder. Fun fact, after he was born (while nursing him) he would either pinch my tummy or knee it.
You’re a beautiful pregnant lady. I am so happy for you.
In what world would I say I'm excited you have morning sickness!!! So excited for you and Zac????
The placenta starts at the bottom and over the first trimester it works it’s way up to the top. Though my daughter’s placenta didn’t move up until the middle of her second trimester. Best position is the top. I’m so happy that you’re so happy about knowing what you’re having. Me? I just want them all to be healthy. We love our babies no matter what. Enjoy as much of this time as possible. In my day we didn’t have gender reveal parties. We didn’t know until they came out. I did have a choice but for me, finding out what it’s going to be, helped me stay calm and excited through the labour pains but during delivery I think I would’ve said forget it and gave up with my third. 4 long days of labour and then ended with C-section. But my first two were quick. 3hrs 5 minutes and my second was 1hr and 12 minutes. Practice meditating on your breathing. I took Lamaze and it helped me so much. I wish you and your husband a very happy future together. Take care sweetie. 💝🥰🤗
I was feeling flutters with my little one at 10 weeks. Everyone said I was not actually feeling baby but I know it was.
You and your story have encouraged me. Bless you and yours.
Can’t wait for video on Sunday.❤
So happy for you mummy it’s so exciting xxxx
Let’s go Sunday!!!!!
I got the flu at the end of the second trimester. It was miserable because I couldn’t sleep, coughed so much I couldn’t hold any bodily fluids in (basically it was all involuntary) and had to ask my husband to go buy me adult diapers, and felt so awful for an entire week. Would not wish it on anyone. You can’t hardly take any meds that actually work when pregnant.
I love LMNT because of you! I didn’t even think of drinking the chocolate warm-I’ll try that!
I can hardly wait until Sunday ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so excited and happy for you! I hope your cold gets better soon. Sending hugs ❤
That’s the baby you’re feeling!
Maggie, you are glowing! Your face is fuller. I’m so happy for you. Please check with your doctor about all those electrolytes. You can have too much of a good thing with serious results. Much love.💖🇦🇺
I have a Doppler it helps with the anxiety but with your stoma I wouldn’t since it might not find it right away and cause more worry. Love the updates!!!
