Pregnancy Info HOME

i think i have to go to a place other than my dr. but i heard they have this new 3-d ultrasound for about $200 - mentally i think i wouldn't mind - or should i just save the $ and wait a month?

YOu could always lie and make up a complication. I was going to pay but I decided to save all the money possible for baby and of court attorney fees for what my X is putting me through right now! But I'm still waiting for this lady to call me back! She does them for free and will let you record them too! Just call a school close to home and see if they need bodies to demonstrate to their cla__s.

Me too in fact I'm ready to pack up and call it a day and its only after 2PM. I guess I better get to work if I'm going to dget anything done. If not today then tomorrow..I'll be bock!!

i agree with the exes are a__ses theory ...my ex sems to rear his ugly head whenever things are going well........p__s off........lol........i hate the worry that comes from pregnancy...omg...i've gone from worrying about miscarriage to what if the baby wasn't ok, waht would i do...are any of you going to have an amnio??

I have no plans for an amnio. It wouldn't change anything if it was abnormal anyway. I know the birth could be quite stressful if something major was wrong, but so would months of worrying.

I think it is better to have them sooner rather than few and far between! What if something is wrong with it then you can either decide what you need to do or prepare yourself for it rather then waiting until birth and it has a third arm comming out of its forehead and you couldnt tell because you only did one u/s and it didnt show up untill later....yeah I am weird I think about these things!!!

your not weird robyn.....i think about that stuff too......i dunno, i think i wanna know....

I guess if you think about it, it is normal to be scared of the unknown. I mean this is my first...ahem...firstS and I think anyone is going to have that anxiety I mean yeah there is a person in side of you and everything you do affects it so....yeah.

My theory is, if there's an extra arm coming out of the forehead, we'll deal with it when its time! I don't want to stress about 3 arms for months! I'm glad they make these tests elective - so we can each make a different decision and be happy about it!

I envy you D, you seem so calm about it and so 'go with the flow-ish' I wish I could be like that.

I agree D and also I try not to think abot all that often now that we are farther along. Must admit that the spotting had me pretty scared but I'm doin ok now. If there is another arm coming out of the forehead than let it be just another arm to hug me :o)

Hah! I fake it well! Everything in my life is so out of control now, I really have no choice. I'm quitting my job in a few months - that freaks me out. We'll have less income, and more mouths to feed. I have no idea how to be a mom, other than don't starve it, don't let it sit in wet diapers, don't drown it when I bathe it, and don't let it play in the street. I don't like being home alone, and I don't know if an infant will take care of that part of my mental health or not - I'm REALLY hoping they get DSL service down our road soon so I can hang out on the internet now and then. Honestly, now that I've stopped spotting, I'm more worried about the teenage years. Somehow, through it all, I just have to believe that God won't give me any more than I can handle! If it doesn't work for me, I'll just have to go get a better paying job, and let my husband stay home with the kids. He'd like nothing better than to be a kept man! Gotta go - talk to you all tomorrow!

OH WOW....wish i could be so calm about it all.....what a great attiude....it is scary thinking that this litle thing inside you is so dependant on you.....steph...what a great third arm theory!!! lol >) are you having anyof the tests done??? i think i'll have the blood work screening, then go from there..... am craving pickles again....

Nope just the u/s. I'm kinda scared about amnio too bc even though the risk is slight I don't want to take the chance! Hey Jess did you get yur pics up yet. I did mine
