Baby #2 checkup today! Heartbeat at 8 wk US was 164. Today it was 146! 😳 Levi’s was always…

All 3 of our boys have been 145 steady. It's so strange to see how much it can vary!

Mine still hasn't stopped moving in the womb. He was 180 at 8 weeks and 154 at 15 weeks.

My girl was always around 146-153! She’s pretty calm!

@mommytobe2019, no girl 😭. My OB is a minimalist (unless you’re high risk). She only does 2 US. One at 7-9 weeks for dating. One at 21-24 weeks for anatomy and gender. She will do a 3rd if you get to your 40 wk appt and still haven’t had your baby. Which I had to do. We’re doing an elective scan at 16 wks to find out gender. 😍

@masseymomma16, lawd I hope it’s another boy but I’m 99% sure I’m having a girl. (Not because of HB but just intuition).

@heilwife317, dang that’s a big drop too.

@mom2squared right. He now stays between 145-165 but he is super active.. I can't believe it but he is actually more active these past couple weeks when he should be slowing down (due to less space right! Lol).

@heilwife317, my son never did slow down with activity. Not until the days leading up to birth (I went past my DD) did I notice he slowed down more. But he really was completely out of room and every time he changed positions it was uncomfortable. He was almost 9lbs. Now? He’s a total wild child. Constantly on the go. Doesn’t sit still for nothing. He rarely gets sick but if he’s cuddling on your lap most the day, then you know he’s really sick. It’s insane. And exhausting. 😅 This pregnancy has been exhausting because of him (and apparently they forgot to let me know I’m borderline anemic 😑🤦🏻‍♀️). My living room is constantly destroyed because I don’t have the energy to clean up after him right now. But I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world.

@mom2squared yeah I feel like that will be how my little guy is lol. Also not sure when he will choose to make his appearance. Lol

@heilwife317, I thought for sure he would come around his due date, maybe early. He came 4 days later. But hindsight, at my 8 wk appt, the US tech told me my due date would change from 11/16 to 11/21 because he was measuring a few days behind my LMP date. But then my OB corrected that and said due dates don’t change unless they’re measuring over a week ahead/behind. Well, he was born 11/20. So maybe the US scan wasn’t that far off. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@mom2squared my little guy is measuring 2 weeks ahead lol...and I am 40 weeks Thursday. Lol so nearly 42 weeks.

@heilwife317, I bet he’ll be here soon. 🤗 I mean, he’s definitely coming at some point. And it’s the MOST amazing feeling in the world. I can’t even begin to describe it. You think you know when you’re pregnant but your heart just explodes when they lay that pudgy baby on your chest. There are no words for it. I’m excited for you!

@mom2squared aww thank you! Yeah the only concrete info I have is my doula said obviously I have to have him by the 19th (20th would be 42 weeks). But I meet OB Thursday and will see where she sits with it all.
