Pregnancy Info HOME

Hello all! Goodness what a lot of posts in the last few hours. It really feels a bit like a conversation!! Sann - from your EDD it sounds like we are a week apart. My EDD is April 29th but by my calculations that means I'll be 12 Weeks on Sunday and starting week 13 on Monday (Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!) which would put us on the same week so that can't be right. So now I'm confused because on the 25th September I was 9 weeks 2 days (just short of a week behind you) but now I seem to have caught up!! I think you're about to start your 14th week but I may be wrong. I hope I'm right though as that means you're only 7 days away from the end of the first trimester!!! (Double Yippppppppeeeeeeeeee!!!) Can someone mathematical verify this for us? My brain's gone soggy!! Thank you!!!!!!! LOL!!! I know exactly what you mean about your tummy feeling tight - I have that too and also the "pain" has also decided to appear in the middle like yours so we are definitely on the same wavelength by the sound of it. Good to hear someone with the same symptoms - it puts me at ease and I hope you too!! Great to hear from you! Col - gosh you make it sound like I'm being so good with the swimming and all that. I'm really not that dedicated - just 2x a week if I can and some walking on the other days. To be honest, the fact that I'm already overweight worries me slightly so I don't want to exceed the recommended "gain" so that it's not any danger to the bean or too hard to shift afterwards. I'm not dieting or anything silly like that and I'm eating what I like when I'm hungry (which is mostly very plain food and usually only at mealtimes - give or take a banana or piece of toast when I get desperate!!) but I just want to try and stay fit. I also think that will help when it comes to the whole labour part so that's another reason to keep it up. Having said all that I've been very lucky to have avoided really bad morning sickness so that gives me more motivation to do exercise. Certainly on the days when I did feel sick I did nothing but sleep, rest and eat what I could so I was by no means an angel and can totally relate to anyone who can't find the energy to do anything during moments of sickness. Don't worry if you're not feeling up to doing anything strenuous - I'm sure things will improve in the second trimester (I'm not there yet but am definitely feeling more energetic - can't you tell by these lengthy and frequent posts LOL!!! and you think you talk too much !!! : ) : )) : ))) : )))). So take it easy while you can and whenever your body tells you to - glad you're able to take the day off. That's always a good feeling isn't it? Everyone take care - TTYL! (So sorry about the long post - can't seem to shift this verbal diarrhoea!!)

It does feel like a conversation! Only I feel bad because it seems like my posts lately have been all about me! Very nauseous today - breakfast did not stay down. Ick. That's the first time I've really lost it though, so I guess that's not too bad. But the nausea is worse everyday My OB's office suggested vitamin b6 (or b9? can't remember) shots... I may take them up on it if this keeps up. I have to leave soon to go teach a couple of students. Really don't want to do it, but I hate to flake on them. Hopefully the food I ate a little while ago will stay down. LM3, it's great that you're having the ewcm... and probably good that you didn't do it this morning... Just go for it tonight. Re: dreams - haven't dreamt about the baby's s_x yet (although I keep thinking it's a girl), but I do have pretty crazy dreams most nights. Don't remember last night's but it woke me up! Gotta run... ttyl...

Hey Val...Sorry to hear you are feeling icky. There are meds you can take for m/s. I had it all 3 of mine. I got a tear in my eshogus and it bled, it was gross...tmi. Anyhow, sorry to hear you feel sick. It is awful and makes for long, long days. Try my lemon remedy-lol. After you re done teaching try and take it easy the rest of the weekend. Still waiting for my dh to get home, my mom invited my kids for a sleepover so a night to ourselves. The phone now just rang during my post and he's going to be another 2 hours, problem at work. Arghhhh. I have noticed over the course of the day my EWCM is drying up. Hmfff, sitting here, kids are out and dh is late. Anyhow, thats it here. Hope you all are enjoying the start of the weekend. ttyl

WOW ladies, you were some talking people yesterday!!!! I tried to read all the posts but think I missed one or two. Val I feel the way you do.......it seems that when I post, my posts are always about me. BUT I have been so sick that I haven't had the wherewithall to get too deep, so I am sorry for that. Hopefully it will pa__s soon. Yesterday was surprisingly a very good day nausea-wise. It still got worse in the PM, but it was nothing compared to other days. I have noticed lately that I am so d__n thirsty. All I want is cold drinks. Yesterday I went outside the box and had an orange soda and wow it was yummy!!! In fact, I think I am going to run to the corner to get another one right now. I am having lunch with DH's family at noon, so will check in later!!!

Good morning all, Tracy....glad you had a better day yesterday. Hopefully things are on an upswing towards less m/s. That would be great! CD20 here and didn't get to bd till midnight!! Hope that wasn't too late. This a.m all EWCM has compltely dried up for sure. I also still feel like my left ovary is doing something odd, I feel like a pulling dull ache. I have that each month during ovulation but it still hasn't subsided. In the back of my mind I'm worried that my eggs are getting ready to release, showing the "surge" but not breaking free, leaving this dull ache feeling behind, so I don't really ovulate. Anyhow, trying not to be negative but I'm afraid thats happeneing, anyhow, now we will wait and see. Have a super day, pls pray for me, xoxox

LM3, you got the nookie in and that's all that matters. You seem to have covered all of your bases, so now we will wait with you!!! Yesterday wasn't as good as the day before as far a nausea is concerned. I was really hoping it was calming down, but noooooooo!!!! I dread the evening because that is when it's the worst. I am nine weeks tomorrow, so pray that the sickness starts to wane soon. PLEASE!!!!!!!

Hello all! So it's officially the 2ww wait for lovemy3. I am full of anticipation this month and can't wait for you to get some good news. Val and Tracy - re. your m/s - I don't know whether it lasts longer with twins or when it's as bad as you both seem to have it but if it makes you feel any better my sick feelings started to get better in week 10 so you've not long to go if you're anything like me. My update? Not much to report really. I feel more energetic than I did and am now just keen to get the next 2 weeks over so that I can say I'm in my 2nd trimester. (Can't WAIT for that feeling of security!!) Also getting a little nervous that all will be OK for the NT scan which is a week on Monday. Wish it was tomorrow so that I could see that bean is well. I keep having weird dreams but nothing baby related except last night I'm not sure if it was a dream or reality but I thought I felt a flutter in my lower abdomen. I know it's really way to early to feel anything (especially as they say that first timers feel movement much later!) but it seemed so clear this morning. However, no matter what I say to bean today, s/he doesn't seem to want to repeat the performance so I have to put it down to my imagination (or wind!!!!! LOL!!!!) Anyway, all is well and I'll TTYL!!

Hi all, Hope you are all having a great weekend. All is well here. Just waiting it out, mentioned to my family that we would like to have another baby and got nothing but horribleness and negativeity. They went on about how selfish I was because it would be another high risk pregnancy and how I should be grateful I have 3 kids already, and why would I take that risk. It was really awful, very upsetting. My thing is that I have met with a speacialist and he has said it is ok. Although he said to lose weight. I am going to weight watchers now, but I'm afraid I'm aging and of menopause, so i guess it would be preferable to be slimmer prior to pregnancy, but who knows it could take 6 more months of trying. But there point is what if it happens right away. I need to lose to be an ideal weight 80 lbs. Anyway, feeling down in the dumps, and second guesssing now. Just feeling c___ppy XOXO

Hopeful, I am having another good day nausea-wise and hoping that this is a trend. I think the reason I felt so awful yesterday was because I had Sunkist which has caffeine in it and I hate the way caffeine makes me feel now that I am PG. I still love the smell of coffee, but when I drink it I feel sick, so I think it was the 1 and half sunkists I had before noon yesterday. I hope I am like you and the sickness ends early. DH's brother's wife is about 4 and half weeks ahead of me and she started feeling better around week 10 also. About the flutter, I had some the other night but I know mine was gas!!!! lol..... LM3, go with your heart. I know it's hurtful when people say things that we don't want to hear, so you can either take it all to heart or brush it off. I say brush it off and do whatever you and your DH want to do. You are a grown married couple and can make your own decisions. I realize you would have wanted the love and support of family in this, but apparently that is just not the way it is this time around. Well, I am going to go feed my kitties. They are meowing like they haven't been fed in a week! (they are so spoiled!!!!)

lovemy3 - I'm so sad for you that you got that response from your family. If only they knew how desperately you wanted this baby they might not have been so cruel. Like Tracy - I suggest you just ignore it and go ahead with your plans anyway. I'm sure when the new bundle of joy arrives they'll all be cooing over him/her as if they'd never said anything horrible. Try to stay upbeat - you are doing so well and remember all the positive signs you saw/felt this month - you don't want them to be for nothing and the worry and negativity won't help them grow into what you want. Stay positive - think nice thoughts - add to the "I'm feeling positive" thread and keep lively for the next few weeks - it can do you nothing but good. Big Hugs to you. Tracy - glad you're feeling better. Sounds like you definitely need to avoid the caffeine! If you need the energy boost try those glucose tablets I was telling you about - they're a natural sugar so aren't "empty" calories like a candy bar would be and they don't taste too bad either. How's everyone else today? We've got a rather quiet board today/yesterday - perhaps everyone got burnt out when we were all talking so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TTYL!

Good morning veryone. Thanks for the encouragement. feeling a little better today. And really do think we'll keep going. Half the reason there is 5 years between my first 2 is because of this same scenerio. My mom is very controlli ng, to the extreme. Put it this way, since we have told her about the ttc, she went out and bought us all non-refundable airline tickets to go to their winter house in Florida over mar ch Break, we are vacationing at Disney already in December and she never consulted or anything just went out and booked them online. When I said, "i just told you about ttc" Her response "thats nonsense and that will pa__s" Anyway, I could go on and on and on and on. Crazy. So, lets hope and pray this is the month ladies. I don't believe in chance or coincidence, so if I do get pregnant I will trust that this is the plan my creator has for me. Regardless, of my mom telling me I'm going to die eetc. Tracy..glad to hear m/s could be getting better, thats great. Sorry to be such a downer really. Just really annoyed. I almost feel like my af is going to arrive. I am only on cd22, but if i truly did o on cd 14, a 10 day LP is CD24, so I could be 2 days away. My Lp is always 10 days. Gosh, I hope that I am, and end this ttcing. KD... how are you doing, at what point are you at?

LM3 has your luteal phase always been 10 days?

Hi there, As far as I know. When I concieved before, I ovulated on cd18 and had a 28 day cycle. I remeber telling my dr in previous preg. the day i thought/was for sure on conception and he asked if I had had problems getting pregnant and I saids no and he said "wow, short lp, but obviously it is working. So , it always has been 10 days i think. Do you think it could be causing the problem this time but not before? thanks.. how are you feeling this a.m? I really feel like af is coming, on CD22, dull aching cramps. Do people feel implantation? I never have in the past.

I think I felt implantation. I had horrific menstrual cramps. I could be wrong though and those cramps could have started after implantation when the uterus was trying to get used to it's little guests. As far as you luteal phase, I just know that docs want it longer than 10 days for sure, that is one reason they prescribe progesterone supplements. However, if it hasn't stopped you from having babies in the past, I don't know why now would be any different. It's definitely something to go over again with your doctor. You know, sometimes it just takes a while for people to get PG. Even young girls sometimes pa__s a year before getting PG. My SIL is 28 and it took her 9 months to get PG. I'm 36 and God only knows how long we would have taken had I not had surgery or injectables. Well, my morning dose of progesterone is kicking in and making me weak and tired, so I am going to lay down again. I don't get much done these days.

Thanks Tracy, Take it easy and rest. how come you take prog.? What does it do? have a restful day. I just finished cuddling up with my little guy for an hour. I feel tired and still have af type cramps. What a Monday!
