Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Ladies! Well- I am 19 weeks today! Yah! I am doing well! I have gained 17 pounds though! YIKES! I have never been over 100 pounds! Oh well! I had my u/s on Friday too! It went great! I didn't fingd out the s_x though! I wish now I did! Melissa, Jessica, Lajaune where are you guys? I hope everyone is doing well! Talk soon! :)

Hi all! I had a very interesting weekend. The vmth injection went ok except something with my liver was a little off so i was in the hospital ALL day. I was ok Sat, but Sun about 4am I awoke to awful pain. Called dr and he advised me to go to the er. I had to have surgery, where they finally found the pregnancy (in my left tube...duh, I could have told them that!) But I'm ok and they were able to save my tube. Hope everyone else is doing good!

hey all, just got back from a trip to Missouri, and we've been driving all night. it takes about 13 hours! i am 7 months now, and this kid likes to hurt me. it' s already getting hard to do anything, and weighing 201 lbs isn't helping! i normally weigh about 170, i'm 5'9". so i need to start watching what i eat, cuz that means i've already gained 30 lbs. grrrr. and now i have stretch marks!!! i hope everyone else is doing good. jody did they ask you if you wanted to know the s_x? the u/s lady asked me, but i had already seen the organs. i kept thinking i was having a boy, along with everyone else, but it's a girl! well, i need to get off here. oh the other good news is we will have our own house by the time she gets here! yay, good luck and take care of yourselves!!

Hi, ladies!!! Sorry (again) that I've been MIA lately. Between being sick and lots of c___p going on, I'm just a bit overwhelmed. :) Welcome to the new ladies!!! I hate that you find yourselves here, but so glad that you found us! (Does that make sense?) Reading through your stories just tears me apart. I hope that you all have great luck in getting pregnant again (and avoid the idiot docs!). Melissa, I'm so sorry to hear that things have been so strained with DH lately. Is it any better? Is he helping you now that you're so uncomfortable? Like you said, it must be difficult to deal with him treating you so badly (going through a tough time is no reason to take it out on another person, especially your pregnant wife!), getting ever more pregnant, his 9 y.o. and all the stress of a baby to come! Eek! Daniella, hang in there!!! How much longer do you have to wait and how long 'til DH is home??? Here's hoping the little one waits for Daddy! Jody, we're exactly the same distance along. 19w1d today! I can't believe that we'll be halfway through in a week! I have an u/s on the 17th, along with a colposcopy. Pretty big day. Let's hope it goes well! I'm a little worried. I've been feeling teeny movements since about 9 weeks. They got stronger, everything was ok with it at the 16 week appt, but now, I don't feel much, or not anything immediately understood to be the baby. I didn't rent a Doppler and I'm kicking myself for it. I'm almost dreading my appointment because I'm terrified that something has gone wrong. Lucky me, I always fall into the 1-2% category of things. :( I'm trying to be optimistic and there's no reason to believe that anything is wrong, other than the decrease in movement instead of an increase! Anyway, today is my birthday. I don't think that we're going to do anything. I'll make a cake, maybe, because I've been wanting a particular one, talk to a couple of relatives, then...? Probably nothing, but that's ok. DH and I are going to spend the day in Yellowstone next weekend, then have a cookout with friends on Sunday. Should be fun. :) I hope you're all well!!!!

Hi ladies I am glad to see that everyone is doing well. I have been here just reading though feeling sorry for myself because I have not gotten preg yet. I am happy for all of you though. I am trying to keep up with all of the new ladies on here to I need to get some pin and paper to that I can reply, for those of you that are having problems I will pray that all turns out well. And for the rest of you stay healthy and I will be popping in every now and then.

cbella- lol on your comment about you could have told them that. lol... That is great that they got to save your tube though. Mine there was no saving. I also knew it was something wrong on the right side (it was my right tube)... but, I didn't even know I was pregnant because my home pregnancy test showed neg. I thought it might have been my apendix or something. Either way, it ruptured the day I was sent to the ER and almost lost my life. I am so glad you didn't have to go through that. How long do you have to wait to TTC now?? It took me a 18 months after my ectopic to fall pregnant again. BUT, I lost the tube and we live a military life so my chances were cut a couple times. Did they say how well your tube they left in would be?? Obviously there was something wrong for it to block the egg flow in the first place. Anyhow, good luck and hope you heal nicely!! ___iamkc- hubby is home now. He leaves in one week from now for a week. I just turned 36 weeks. So, if I don't have him within the next week... I have to hold off for the week he is gone. Knowing our luck, I'll go into labor the day after he leaves. Lately it keeps feeling like anytime now. Yet, I give up. At 32 weeks the doctor said I'll probably give birth at 35 weeks. Well, I am 36 weeks now, LOL... So, who knows!! __navyboo- yea, I am hurting real bad also. Just wait!! I am also weighing in at about 180lbs. I am normally 157. So, I've put on 23 pounds. Yikes!!! I also have stretchmarks all around my belly (I can send you the pics)... I guess I am glad that I don't have them anywhere else on my body, but the ones I have around my belly b___ton are horrible.

Hehe...my stretch marks are all around my belly b___ton, too. From the hole-out. It looks like an evil eye or something weird like that. :P

haha... too bad visine wont cure them! lol

Daniella-I have an appt Thurs to discuss everything w/ my dr. I'm a bit disappointed that it's 4 days after the surgery, but I think I'm also scared to hear what he might say so no news is good news right now! The dr spoke to my husband right after the surgery, however dh was a bit groggy as he was woken up from that great sleep you get in a hospital waiting room! lol :) Dh remembers that there was alot of blood but they saved the tube...not much else. I can't be upset with him b/c he was by my side for almost 22 hours without food, drink or sleep! I guess that's worth something right! LILTIF-were your cycles irregular before you ttc? I ask b/c mine always have been, even on the Pill. I don't know yet the extent of damage to my left tube, only that it's still there. NAVYBOO- wow thats a long time in a car for a pregnant woman! How often did you have to stop for bathroom breaks? lol :) Thats ecxiting you found out its a girl. Any names picked out yet? IAMKC- I have 2 questions...what is a colposcopy and what is a doppler machine? Hope everyone is feeling ok!!!

cbella- Yes my cycles were irregular before ttc. I naturally conceived my DD, but then I went on the pill and they were normal, then when it was time to ttc I went off the pill and it took a few moths but I was actually normal and conceived naturally but had a mc and since then they have been irregular and that was 2 yrs ago. So now I have to take clomid, also bc I did lose my tube from my ectopic 5 months ago. This is my first month back on the clomid. I'm happy everything turned out OK for you!

hey girls, it's Melissa. wow, today, i do believe i have a gymnast inside! she has been doing the weirdest flips and stretches all day. it started this morning, and she's rested for short periods. Daniella, does your son do this? also, is this really firm ma__s the baby? i think it is, but i just wanted to check...some of the moves make me squirm! they feel so d__n weird. but this back pain is killer! all i did today is play with the dog and go for a little walk. grrrrr. as for DH he's been ok. he has to help me get in our truck, cuz it's a little too tall for me to swing into, and with this belly.....but sleeping is fun now too. i have to completely wake up, then i realize i have to pee. then i have to find a comfy spot again, then i have to turn again in a few minutes. ugh, hope everyone is still ok. Texas is starting to get really hot! later....Melissa

Hey Melissa- hah! Just wait!!! you think your little one feels like a gymnist now, give it some time. I think mines been the strongest now then ever. He kicks so hard, sometimes its like I could grab his foot. It also feels like I am internal bruises. I kid you not. The kicks, punches, movement or whatever hurts so bad that sometimes I feel he's going to rip out of me. lol.. you get the hint... it gets worse. hehe How many weeks are you now exactly?? Also, when is your due date??

I am now 29 weeks, and due june 29. My mom made me realize that I only have about 9 weeks left! ya know, because most pregnancies last for 38 weeks now. i'm starting to get nervous. i know you have to be too. so when is your due date? ugh i was looking for some shorts to wear yesterday, and even the biggest ones i had from the skinny days, before pregnancy, don't even zip halfway! they were so tight. i never gain weight. DH keeps telling me it's ok, cuz i'm pregnant, but it sucks!

Oh, Melissa...my sleeping has always been messed up, but this pregnancy has just about done me in completely. I can get about 20 minutes at a time, then something happens to wake me up. I feel guilty sleeping during the day, and I can't really get comfy, so...ugh. It's ok, though. I'm sure that it's totally and completely worth it! Tiffany--congrats on being on Clomid! I hope this cycle is it for you. Daniella--I've been thinking about you and hoping that you're able to hold on until DH can be there for sure! Cbella--A colposcopy is a microscopic procedure. They'll set me up like I'm having a pap, smear vinegar on my cervix, then look at it under a microscope to see if there are, indeed, any worrisome cells. A Doppler is the little device they'll use to check for your baby's heartbeat. Some of them even have the readouts so that you can see how fast your baby's heart is beating! On the 17th, DH and I will go for the ultrasound, but the appointment for earlier that day was moved til the 19th. I hate saying this, but I was really hoping for that morning appt for the rea__surance that there's still even a heartbeat. I'm not trying to be grim, but I DO have a terrible track record here. :( We also got some more news last night. Our landlord died back in Feb or so and his wife now runs the place. She's selling and we all have to be out by July 1st. That wouldn't be so bad, but DH and I were planning on moving at the end of the year or so. Now, we'll have to find a place, sign a lease, and put it off. He's so frustrated here. There's more to it than what I said. We're just sick and tired of some of the situations here and have no idea what to do about them any more. No one will hire me because I'm pregnant, he has a dangerous job and dangerous drive, etc. I'll probably write a whole vent about it later and hope that someone has advice...or just a good ear. :) I'll shut up now. I hope that ALLLLL of you are doing splendidly and I can't wait to hear what's going on!!! :) Jessica

Thanks Jessica!! If you need to vent you can email me at ourhaileybug@yahoo.com I hope that things get better and thanks!! Lajaune hang in there!! I hope all the ladies that are nearing the end of being pg, have a good, quick labor!! I've been praying every night for all the soon to be mommies and those wanting to be. I've even heard my DD pray for them too! Its soo cute!

Navyboo- the only reason why the % has increased to babies being born around 38 weeks (or under 40) is because mulitple births has increased so much due to clomid, etc. (meds) and because having a c-section is no longer only available for medical emergencies, so they do them 2 weeks before your due date. If this is your first, and your not having a c-section or mulitple births you will probably go full term. Especially if you know your date of conception. In fact, you will probably go past your 40 weeks. Either way, yea... your still close. hehe.. I read you said your at 29 weeks, and thought, "wow, just behind me" cuz I feel like I just hit 30 weeks. Then it hit me, oh c___p.. no, I am 36 weeks now. So, once you hit 30 weeks, it flys by so fast. ___iamkc- hubby got home a week ago and is here for one more week. So, if I dont have baby by about the 19th, then I have to hold off for a week. lol... then after that he's home for almost a month but then leaves for 3. After that, he doesn't leave for a long time. Cant wait!! So, right now... its either, I have to give birth within the next 7 days (if not) then I have to wait 14 days. Knowing our luck, in 9 days from now I will go into actual labor. Although, it feels like anytime now. OH AND ALSO, if I do give birth before he leaves in a week from now, he wont have to leave, hehe... Its so frustrating. I just hope it all works out and he gets to see his first baby being born. Also, iamkc- I wish you the best of luck!! You deserve it!!
