Pregnancy Info HOME

Even after horrid morning sickness, my biggest complaint is being so worried and fearful of the unknown (this is my first pregnancy) that I can't sleep at night because my thoughts are racing and I cry during the day caue I'm so freaked out. Not sure if this is hormonal or not.

I would have to say the heartburn with everything i eat ugh or maybe the redening of my face it looks like i have bad sunburn on my cheeks all the time but am still happy to be pregnant!

Well in teh first tri I would have said the morning sickness and the constipation, but in the second tri, I'd have to say the worrying. I worried in the first tri too, but it was a different kind of worry. Now I know that my baby is actually a human, and a little boy, so I feel like I am more connected with him. But now I worry about his movements, if tehy aren't consistent, I get really nervous. But like KitKat said, I'm still extremely happy and grateful to be pregnant!

Im with anamariaflorencia I hate not knowing whats going on, if everythig is okay and all that.. I dont like not knowing, I dont like that I cant see whats happening inside me lol. but I suppose thats all pregnancies.. THIS pregnancy, I dont like that I cant breath!! its soo frustrating... when I lay down its hard to breath, when I sit its hard to breath and im only almost 24 weeks its only going to get worse from lol.. oh well, its all worth it in the end!

I'm so glad that other women feel like I do. It's not just the baby I worry about, it's whether or not I'll be a good mother, we'll have enough money, I'll get post pardom depression, delivery will be terrifying, etc. I was hoping I'd feel better after my next sonogram (b/c we'll hopefully know if it's a boy or a girl). Heather, are you pretty big already? That really sucks that you can't breath well. What if you're semi reclined? Does that help?

when i try tying my shoes i cant brathe. i was walking to school today and was talking on the phone and my friend asked me if i was ok. i was breathing really hard. i told her i can walk and i can talk. but i cant walk and talk at the same time. so the breathing thing i understand. ladies our bodies are no longer our own!!!

Hi! I can definatly add in here on the heartburn thing... I can't eat any of the things I really love - like chocolate or fried foods or drink Ice tea .. i get heartburn from drinking water too so i dont know what to drink! What I get is more of a reflux so everything sits in my stomach and takes hourrrrrrs to digest so if i bend over or lay down up it comes ...then i wake up choking on it then I cough so hard I urinate cause I was gagging tmi ..sorry i know haha But yeah I am with you there .. an i worry alot ..ALOT ...If i dont feel her move so much in one day I think omg is she ok I then try and hear the heartbeat but I cant find it ... its just frustrating but well I guess all a part of being preggie and hormonal and that motherly instinct to worry worry worry. O and kolleen in the beginning i had a hard time with making myself eat as much too but I got over it ..eventually i just stopped thinking about it - I think once i LOOKED pregnant I was ok with eating more cause then people wouldnt look at me and think she is fat enough! hahaha good luck ! it will all be so worth it in a few months!

the heartburn thing i hear ya. it sucks so bad that i cant eat pizza at all! i love it too. i got hearburn from starbursts. i guess it was the citrus?? i dont know. but when i have this baby im gonna have a huge pizza waiting for me. lol

The day I took the pregnancy test I had a 101 fever and a positive pregnancy test! The next day the fever was gone, but I was sneezing like crazy.... fast forward 17 weeks and I have been congested and sneezy since then! I know some of you might say, "oh big deal" but it's so bad that in my job I meet new people daily and a day does not go by that someone doesn't ask if im sick (for a while I just said I was getting over something) now I say NO, it's pregnancy symptom! I have a hard time breathing at night... the only time I feel better is right after a cardio workout bc I seem to sweat it loose for a while! But the cardio thing doesn't happen all the time bc I dont have much energy either! It's hard to sleep being so congested and hard to breathe at night so... what I have to say is that I have tried EVERYTHING! Humidifier, Nasal Pot, Vaporizer, Vicks, Tylenol sinus, breath right strips, sleeping with my head elevated, etc.... I can't name them all! But as my mom says I was "snotty" in a different way before pregnancy, and now i'm snotty in the sense of the word! FUN FUN FUN!!! However, I wouldn't trade being pregnant for anything! I love every minute of it... snotty or not snotty :)

anamariaflorencia, Im pretty big I suppose.. Im measuring about a week ahead but thats nothing unusual I suppose. I dont know why I cant breath lol it sucks! it sucks even more because I know its only going to get worse.

being pregnant!! I'm pretty miserable :)

but I'm happy to be pregnant!!! I just have it all (except horrible morning sickness). What I hate the most is after I eat I feel SOOOOO full that I can't get comfortable and I get so antsy and irritable.

My complaint is the aches in my body( my neck and my back), that i cant breathe good at night at all, i feel hungry always and i hate it. I also get heartburn and i worry alot just because i have a m/s before this one. I am so excited that i am having a little girl sometimes i wish it didnt take so long for them to come out.

Yeah I forgot about the congestion. I'm with ya on that one boodah, I've tried everything possible. I've just learned to deal with it and bought more tissues. My doc said there's really nothing you can do about it.
