Pregnancy Info HOME

happy monday everyone. i hope everyone had a good weekend. im just now starting to feel somewhat normal. idont have a fever and im not throwing up anymore.but the cold is still here. im getting up today and going to school. i have a test today that i cant make up if i miss so i have to go. i did learn something really cool while i was sick though. for those of us that get worried if we dont feel as much movement as we would like drink oj and lay on ur side. with being as sick as i have been lylee is medicated so she is not moving as much. well i drank oj and layed back down, boy did she ever go to town on that one. thrid tri is just days away. im so excited and nervous at the same time. well gotta get ready so ill check n later.

Precious - yes that is normal and the baby can still move around quite a bit but she only has a little over 2 months to go - one appt the doctor may say she's breech and the next head down you just never know until the very end - I am sure everything is fine - Hillary - I too am overweight this time around and yes my belly always looks smaller when I lay down but when my doctor measures me (laying down) I always measure right on....so don't worry...we just flatten out and I notice that about me even when I am not preggers - I always look skinnier laying down I think that is why my husband is always turned on ...he only pays attention when I lay down...LOL

Kolleen - I didnt 'know that about the juice until my Megan didnt' cooperate at the ultrasound! But even cold cold water will do the same thing - last night she went crazy after I had 2 gla__ses of Pineapple juice - poor sugar buzzed baby but it was so tasty!!! Glad to hear you are feeling better and not throwing up anymore. Yes 3 tri is Wednesday and I'll post on there if early riser HEATHER doesn't beat me to it LOL ----jk

good afternoon ladies :) I've been busy busy with work already (gosh it is monday and feels like it should be wednesday to me)....I too look much smaller when I lie down. I went to my accupuncturist today and told her about my sleeping problems and how rib area hurts. She did a pressure point in my upper/mid back that helped some. She also rubbed bengay type stuff in and I called the dr. afterwards and the nurse said not to use that--just trying a heating pad. Ugh....so i tried to wipe it off. She a__sured me once is not bad. My acupuncturist works with pregnant girls though and I figured she knew what was up. oh well....back to work, sorry so quick I'll be on later.

hey everyone; so things are good this weekend i was having horrible left side cramps don't ask why they finally went away. i had my physical for school today im up to 150 lbs =[; but its okay no worries. also tomorrows school again don't forget; today i had the guys at my work look at a couple new cars we are looking i not im very excited.

STEF - hey I saw an articles on line that said that graphic design is one of the most popular work from home jobs out there how cool is that? Kendra why not excited about the new car?? another expense? I can see where it might be tight with 2 car seats in a smaller car but doable....don't stress too much and I can tell you are tall so it's no big deal about your weight...you skinny broad you ...LOL

I hope everybody is feeling/doing well, I guess we all had a busy Monday - not much chatting going on yesterday. Oh yeah - Happy April Fool's Day!!! Anyone have any good pranks?

Hey! I'm so glad you reminded me of April fool's day so I can be on the lookout ;) YAAAAYYY tomorrow is the day to move! TINA, yes you need to start the new thread since tomorrow you are 27 weeks, right? Heather, my belly is really hard now too and the weirdest feeling for me is the part under my b___bs where the skin stretches away from my body. I feel it all the time and it's just alien to me, lol.

Yeah Stef, it does feel sooo weird to me too. It's almost like it's a fake belly or somebody else's. I keep thinking it's gonna get harder & tighter too. Does anyone feel like 3 months to go is a really long time?

OMG, 3 months seems like FOREVER to me! :) Friends think it is nothing, but i'm feeling differently. I just want to meet her so badly, but I want her to not come early!!! lol. This is funny, jessie and I went out for italian last night and i had bread, then a salad and then my pasta entree. I ate like ALL of it and when we were leaving I was waddling out of the restaurant and he was laughing at me. Then in the car when I sat down I about started crying because it literally felt like my belly was going to rip open or explode. I ate that much! He was like "calm down, you'll throw up before you explode!" and I couldn't help laughing. I've never felt so stretched in my life!

Hi guys! Wanted to leave a quick comment. All is well and can't wait to meet you on the 3rd trimester forum. STEF- YES! I'm 25 weeks and it feels like it will be forever until the summer gets here and I can finally meet this baby. I'm totally anxious. I had a great weekend with my BF, she even took off yesterday to spend the day with me since she couldn't be here Friday. I have to run, my youngest is really sick today, he's got a terrible chest cold, and he is really wheezy, I have to keep giving him PT and nebulizer treatments every hour. It can easily turn into pneumonia because his lungs are still comprimised due to his prematurity. (Other than that he's recovered so well, he's like any other 3 yo physically & neurologically.) Okay, talk to you guys later! (HEATHER - it is super windy here today too, I just watched someone's lawn ornament roll across my backyard, lol!)

OMG Stef, I did that too a couple weeks ago!! I ate so much at the chinese buffett I thought they were gonna throw me out, then (it gets better)... we went to walmart to do some shopping. I saw these cinnamon rolls with icing and apple topping, so I got a pack of them and ate one on the ride home. I was sooo full I thought I was gonna pop, but it was good as hell!! Sometimes I get like that - I am so hungry I can a ton, then I pay for it later on- lol. The funny thing is, I'll wake up the next morning and be hungry like I never ate at all.?????

Amy, hope your son starts feeling better soon - I hate when little kids are sick, I feel so bad for them! Glad to hear you had a really good weekend :0) !!

LOL, heather I can feel your pain...literally :) AMY, so good to hear from you! I'm sorry about your son and it sounds like you have your hands full! I hope he gets to feeling better soon! I'm getting ready to go get some lunch so I'll be back later.....is food always on my mind? lol....oh! amost forgot, KENDRA, where u at? how are you doing?

Where is everyone today? I am at work by myself and I've been reading thru some of these forums - I won't be reading alot of them anymore - they have seriously scared the c___p out of me!

looks like it's just you and me! I'm having a slower day now which is nice. Hey, I have a question for anyone who's done the birth thing. Can they tell you NO on an epidural if you are only at 3-4cm? I read a birth story on the third tri board and got scared because she went to the hospital and was already dilated 3-4 cm and the nurse said she "wouldn't need" an epidural. I'm waiting to hear back from her if that was a "you can't have one" or if she still had the option. I would kill some people if they told me no that early on!!!!! I'm so scared of the pain, I'm not kidding y'all.
