Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi girls!!! Starmay, congratulations. That is so amazing. I am so nervous until that 1st ultrasound. My back is really hurting and I am exhausted. I am hoping that they are good enough pregnancy symptoms. I have no b___st tenderness like I did last time. I get nervous about every little thing. I wish I didn't, but somehow, I just do. I had a subchorionic bleed the 2nd pregnancy and it turned out to be no big deal, and then I miscarried in July ...So, needless to say I am worried again. I had an early miss, like 2 days after my period was due. It's just so hard to relax. All I can think about is baby baby... Ilook forward to bedtime, because that is the time that pa__ses the fastest and I'm pooped! HAve a great night and hello Rzrbck Mom 2 b. Is this your first baby? Fear doesn't subside!!! As you see my above stress! I can't stop worrying...As long as its not making you crazy. I just can't wait for my ultrasound!

This is my first... I so badly wanna say "Peace!" to this stressful job but it's too hard to survive on 1 income! There's gotta be a solution for that, right??? Ooo stress!!

Thanks angel and TaraO! I'm crossing my fingers for good news for everyone as well! Tara, I totally understand being nervous. Like I had said in a previous post, I go so far as to look up symptoms and just all in all....get WAY too much info, which only winds up stressing me out more (like the ectopic symptoms). And it stresses hubby out. He was upset when I mentioned what a blighted ovum meant. He doesn't like me looking up all this info and just wants me to enjoy this. So even though I'm being a total hypocrite, I'll say it anyway....Just try to enjoy this and try not to stress about whether you're experiencing symptoms or not. Remember, we're all different and what one person experienced her first time, may not be the same for you. So far (and I'm totally jinxing myself by saying this) I haven't experienced any morning sickness, my b___bs really aren't that tender or sore. I've just been tired. If I went by physical symptoms alone, I'd just say I wasn't getting enough vitamins and would never think I was pregnant. I wish I could give you a big ol' hug and tell you everything's gonna be ok. :) It's all up in the air for all of us though right? But we can be here to support each other. Sorry, late in the night and right before bedtime, I get super sappy. lol Anywho, when is your first ultrasound? We can count down the days with you! :)

Oh and also have any of you girls ever had a prenatal that wasn't a stinkin' horse pill? I'm such a huge baby when it comes to pills. The only way I can take these, is to mask the fact that I'm taking a pill, by mixing up a cup of hot cereal that's thick but not too thick I can't gulp it down with the pill. Very sad I know. I need to talk to my doctor about getting me on a different pill. Smaller. I can't keep doing this. It's getting old and annoying. But if I try taking it with water, the instant I feel that pill on my tongue, I gag. I just can't do it! It's all psychological. What can I say, I'm a mess. lol

Starmay, ask your dr to prescribe you "Pregvit". It is a terrific vitamin, you take it twice a day so that you get optimal absorption of all the vitamins and minerals. Plus, it also has 1.1 mg of folate which is a bit more than the regular prenatal. you take a pink pill in the morning, and a blue one at night. they are quite a bit smaller than the regular prenatal vitamins, and I have used them in all three of my pregnancies. As soon as I get a BFP i get on the phone and ask for a prescription!!!

Starmay, Congrats!!! Twins!!! How exciting! Glad everyone is doing great & welcome to the new Mommies!

thanks chappers! I'll definitely ask about that. You reminded me too....since I'm having twins, does that change your needs as far as prenatals go? wouldn't it make sense that you would need more than normal? Thank you BAF!! :)

wow Starmay so excited for you!! that explains the pain you are growing faster than the rest of us:)I do not remember the requirements for vitamins or food but I know it is more. Started back on the night shift at work 7pm to 7am CRAZY! last night was first night and it puts a new meaning on being tired:( Just found out yesterday that my sis-in-law is pregnant and her due date is May 27th only 17 days apart! Woo hoo! Rzrbck congrats and welcome! My husband stays home with our son and will continue to so yeah it pretty much sucks living on 1 income. Good luck with your decisions and stress!! I feel you!

yeah that would definitely make sense. :) I think I'm gonna have to buy one of those belly bands for my pants. My pants are too tight and I have to leave them unb___toned. lol

Angelmarkie: Hope you are still flying high with the energy levels! The tiredness has finally found me!! Too bad I have an 18 month old and cannot afford to nap! I’m just trying to go to sleep a bit earlier. YES, I’ve seen “I didn’t know I was pregnant”. Those stores are so crazy! Can you imagine, not only finding out you are pregnant much later on, but also discover you are about to deliver right then and there?! Yikes. Hiperact: So sorry about the nausea. Yuck. I have been blessed with only slight nausea the first go-around and same thing so far this time around. I feel sooooo much sympathy for you ladies who get it bad and also when it turns into vomiting! How do you do anything during the day! And when I read you took a 4 1/2 hour nap I was SO JEALOUS. I wish!!! Fjamil1: We have the same due date! Go May 17! Congrats! Starmay: WOW! TWINS! WAAAAHOOOO! What a surprise! And I love that your husband had a smirk on his face. Cute! Still nothing new with me except that I have caught the afternoon tired bug where it feels like someone has snuck up behind me and drugged me by mid-afternoon! But, I work full time and then spend my time with my little girl, so not much time for a nap (although now my husband is starting to insist that I at least lay down for a bit here and there, aw so nice to have supportive spouses, right?!).

HipchicK: that is know that we r due on the same day.good luck with ur pregnancy.

Hello, my name is Georgette and I found out from a HPT on August 29th I was pregnant. I have one daughter who is 6 years old. I had one miscarriage before my daughter at 8 weeks but had stopped growing at around 5 - 6 weeks. Since we started trying again a little over a year ago I have had about 4 or 5 chemical pregnancies. Due to the previous pregnancies I had a few blood tests and an U/S. I took a blood test on the 31st and it came back 104, on Sept. 3rd it was 312, and on Sept. 8th it was 2720. I'm scared though because my Dr. thinks that i'm not as far a long as I should be due to my initial HCG level. Also I went for an U/S on Sept. 11th and he couldn't see a gestational sac. He wanted me to come back on the 25th so, here I wait and stress.

hi Georgette glad you are here with us. that stinks to wait that long...My thoughts are with you. Hopefully my nausea and vomiting will stop I got a script for Zofran and Phenergren!!!! Yeah I finally ate tonight. After only having corn on the cob french fries and a bowl of frosted mini wheats in the last 36 hours. Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Hi girls, Saw the Nurse Educator today with DH. Can't wait to see the doctor on Wednesday, at which point I will try to convince her to perform an ultrasound, just for that extra rea__surance. I am considered high risk due to some health issues I experienced last year (with my heart), so maybe the convincing won't be that hard? I still have no real signs of pregnancy. Breasts are tender, but only if pressed. Cramping on and off. No nausea (sorry hiperact) and no fatigue (sorry HipChick). I swear, it is a curse to find out your pregnant so early! :) Hope all is well. Good night!

I agree angelmarkie, definitely a curse. Although since I got pregnant through IVF, they take more precautions than usual so they're checking more often and earlier, like with the ultrasounds. Hopefully they will take your health issues into consideration and give you an early ultrasound. Thank you HipChick! It was very cute. :) Thank you hiperact! Definitely makes more sense now. lol I've already got a little pooch. So I'm supposed to go in again on the 29th for my second ultrasound. Right before we leave for our vacation to Paris! By the way...totally depressing that I can't eat any of that yummy cheese over there. :(

Hi my name is Shannon I just found out im pregnant with baby number 2 and im due May 24, 2010 my DD is 20 months old. Im only about 4 weeks 4 days pregnant my first was a surprise but this time around my husband and I decided to try and to my surprise it happened the first month. I was just wondering if any of you have had many symptoms at 4 weeks mostly i have just been really tired a little sick when on an empty stomach and slightly sore b___sts on and off but not swollen you think this is normal to not have to many symptoms this early on I cant remember how early my symptoms started with DD. THANKS
