Pregnancy Info HOME

SB200, your tummy is freaking adorable! Not an ounce of fat on your skinny a__s. (yes that is sarcastic jealousy) :-)

Thoses are the kind of stretch marks that I fear. A friend as well with her first pregnancy got a ton of them but they went sideways across her belly, not up amnd down and her too, lost the weight and has the terrible wrinkled flab of yucky skin that she cant get rid of now. That must be so neat to watch her actually move around in there!! Does anyone have a list of things that a person needs to ahve before baby arrives??

Oh yea, dont let the pics fool ya Ekay!! The side view can be very flattering!! Kinda helps hide those stupid love handles. But thankyou anyway!!! That helps with the sefl esteme anyway! Ok, today I have been having these really weird episodes that are starting to kinda freak me out. I get really hot and fell really lightheaded and feel like I cant breath. All I am doing is sitting at my desk. It feel like someone is suffocating me and last for about 5 minutes at a time. I almost get really panicky and then it goes away. Anyone know what might be causing htis??

Does it feel like your tummy is tightening too? I remember when I used to get Braxton Hicks with my other pregnancies, it would feel like my chest got tight too and I couldn't breathe. Or it could be anxiety attacks and I've been told that even though you might not be necessarily 'freaking' out about anything at that particular moment, they can kinda happen at any time. It could also be blood sugar related or circulation related, but be careful standing up. It is important to remember your veins are larger and pumping lots o' blood around, which you might not be used too, therefore it is common to get lightheaded. I know what you are describing because every now and again I will get it too, but it usually only happens once and briefly and weeks apart for me. I would recommend calling your doc just in case, although I am pretty certain they will tell you one of the things above. They (or at least in my personal experience) only get concerned if you are actually pa__sing out, but it might be different for you.

I still think im looking kinda chunky though. i tried to take some belly pics for the first time on sunday and it seems pregnancy has not only given me a belly, but ive gotten some extra thickness to me and some love handles...so i look more chubby with a belly and im not used to that at all. i was hoping to just gain the belly weight, but it seems to be distributing everywhere. i dont get it. ive only gained about 10 lbs so far. I havent felt the constant movements yet, just usually a random one or two in the evening. im hoping soon enough i will feel her movements more. ive been using the shea b___ter stuff to make sure i dont get any stretch marks and i can feel the difference in the moisture of my skin soo much. i like it. i make my hubby rub it on my belly everyday bc i am determined to not get any!! but we shall see. SB- you are sooo lucky! it must be amazing to see the baby move!!

Eliz, you are so tee-niny too, I would be really freaking shocked if that 10lbs made a big difference. I put most my weight on in the hip, thigh and rear area whenever I gain weight, pregnant or not. Now why can't I be one of those women that gets it in the b___b area?! Course, I have b___bies now, so I'm not complaining, but I do know that sad scene it's going to become up yonder once b___st feeding as ceased. Ugh, I shudder at the thought....poor girls. Like sad little flapjacks.

I don't feel any tightness in the tummy, it is more in my chest. And yes it feels like someone is squeezing all the air out me and I panick to try to breath in deeply. I do get short of breath and get a rapid heartrate occasionally and have gotten that for the last few months, but this feels different. I have my appointment on Thursday, so I will ask her then. This is my last one with this dr,becasue she JUST quit delivering babies a few months ago, so now I have to be refered off to a obgyn fo rthe rest of the pregnancy. They are so hard ot get in too, so at least I can still go to my reg dr for any other little concerns that come up and she will see me. But I really shouldn't complain after hearing the costs that you ladies come in to there, I don't have to pay for mine through our healthcare. ok, there was another one of these little attacks.. what would cause a anxiety attack when I actuallly feel really relaxed about the pregnancy now and don't tend to worry too much.???

Eliz - I can't see her move yet, but Ekay can!! WOuld be awsome hey!! Ekay - FLAPJACKS!!!! LOLOLOLO!!! Oh I am in for a world of hurt then!! My girls have grown over two sizes already and I was quite busty to begin with!! They are uncontrollable now (although hubby has no complaints when I saw him!!) but yikes, when these puppies deflate.... do they make bras that can work miracles???

I would call your doctor SB200. They are happening really frequently. My momma always says it's better to do it and not need to than need to and not do it.

Well dear, I began small chested, like barely an A and now I am a good solid wonderful over flowing B. So when mine deflate, it is literally like letting the air out of a balloon.

yea, i gained some in my arms, thighs, but mostly these new love handles and back fat is what is driving me crazy. I have to admit, since we had been trying for a few months i hadnt been dieting during that time (bc why diet to lose weight when you're about to be PG?) so I gained a few pounds right before i got PG, so that might have something to do with it. Ekay you have the perfect belly. no fat anywhere else, just a cute basketball. thats what i wanted. once i put pics up you will see what im talking about..

ekay - yeah I hear ya! I started with a C and I am now squished into a D and just refusing to go to a DD!! My dad always bugs me that I need to hang an anvil off my a__s to counterwieght me as my belly gets bigger so I dont fall flat on my face!! Nice hey!! I will call dr on lunch here in a half hour. Eliz - I am sure you will shed all those plus the few extras soon after she arrives!! That's what I am hoping!! At leats it will be summer time and it will motivate me to get outside and go walking with her.

hieeee! i feel so out of the loop, I've been too busy to chat with you all!

Hey Ladies. Sorry I am just now getting on. We had a storm and the internet and cable was out and it was just awful. Kitkat- I now what you are talking about. I have no clue what it is yet....lol. EKAY- I am so jealous. I can't see Mason yet. My mom felt him for the first time last night. Jeremy still hasn't felt it. He has strep so I am trying to stay far away from him....LOL. I am going to put a pic on myspace soon. ohh and about the b___b thing. I was a DD and so far I have only gotten a little bigger in that area. Kinda hoping I don't get much bigger or Mason will be suckking on a cow t_tty,....lol.

wow SB- i just saw your belly pics. you can see how it grew every week. i was planning on taking pics everyweek from week 14, but it didnt look like a belly until now. you can tell how much your babe grew just from week 18-20

SB- I don't see your belly pix??? Where are they hiding??? lol.
