Pregnancy Info HOME

We heard our baby's heartbeat for the first time yesterday! :) My OB measured my uterus and said everything looks normal. At my next appointment on the 27th they are going to set up my U/S to find out gender. I'm so excited. I really want to know what I'm having.

Why is it that I still have morning sickness??? And why is it that I suddenly can't hold my bladder when I'm puking??? :( Sorry if TMI...is anyone else still suffering morning sickness?

Hi ladies I haven't been able to pop in lately, I just started a new job, which I love!! Yeah! Well I am 2 days away from 12 weeks! I am still very tired and still sick...hope next week that will let up!! My belly has popped a good bit ....I was 125lbs at 5'8" when I got pg. i have put on 15 pounds already. I can't wait to feel the baby. This is my third and yet I feel like i forgot what it feels like. -----Moms who this is NOT their first pregnancy...When did you first feel movement this pregnanacy? anyone yet?......Also do they say if its a boy or girl the heart rate is suppose t be faster? My baby is still 174. I hope all you ladies are feeling great!!!!!

Hi ladies it has been a while but I have been so busy with my dd's 1st birthday. I went to the doc today and I am actually DOWN 11 lbs!!! She told me I need to increase my calorie intake. Other then that everything is great. We heard the heart beat again AND scheduled the big U/S for Sept. 8th. I think we will wait to find out the s_x on this one though (this is number 3 and our last). As for the morning sickness I am 14.5 weeks and still throw up at least once a week hence the weight loss. Breezieb: with my 2nd I felt the first movement around 16 weeks and by 18 it was all the time. That is what I am most excited about. I hope in about 2 weeks I can feel this one move!!! Hope everyone is having a great 2nd trimester. ENJOY it...every bit of it. Because take it from some one who knows....it all goes by so fast.

Oh Flybear! I thought I was the only one who couldn't hold her bladder while puking!!!!!!!! Thats soooooo frustrating!!!!! But i'm not feeling as sick anymore but I'm still very tired and just feeling kind of crampy

Ive still been getting sick too, but I'm only 11weeks, so I'm hoping that pa__ses soon. Oddly enough this past week has been the worst for mornign sickness. Monday is my first doc's appt! I'm excited! I too am realy anxious to find out the s_x. My hubby wants a girl really badly and I want another boy just as badly, so we're excited to see which of us gets our wish.

well i am now 13weeks!! i have my next ultra sound on the 22nd september and hopefully my little one will have his/hers legs open for me lol! i get to hear my babys heartbeat at 16weeks so still another 3weeks

Woohoo, yay 2nd trimester! Hopefully the nausea will subside soon. I actually got some prescription meds to help me with it from my midwife, and yay, what a lifesaver they are. I heard the baby's heartbeat, it was 159 at 10 weeks. She found it very quickly, so that was very exciting. Gosh, I can't believe how fast time is flying. We are going to wait to find out the s_x of the baby, although it will be very hard say no we don't wanna know when they ask at the U/S appt. We waited with our first, and it was such a nice surprise, and I was right, I thought my son was going to be a boy the minute I found out I was pregnant. I feel like this one might be a little girl - so we'll see if how correct the mother's intuition is. I truly don't have a preference this time around (I really wanted a boy the first time). And yes, I also have bladder control issues when I throw up, that sooooo sucks, doesnt' it!

I am so relieved to be in the second trimester! And I am getting so big!!! Is anyone else? I cannot do the rubber band trick anymore, I have to wear maternity pants- Yikes! My uterus has not popped out or anything, but I think it is just pushing everything else (including my belly fat) up and out. I am looking forward to finding out the s_x. September 17 !!! I feel like it is a boy, which is what my dh and I want. Has anyone had a 4-D ultrasound?

I have a bladder problem when I sneeze. Anyone else?

kim-h -- our hospital does 4D ultrasounds. In fact, they do them for everyone. It's very cool, slightly creepy, lol. We had a couple with my first pregnancy due to some bleeding, but haven't had one yet this time around. I just bought my first pair of maternity jeans, too. Haven't had the guts to wear them to work yet, though. I'll have to soon.

hey ladies, just checking in. I'm not quite to the second tri mester because technically I'm due in March (the 9th to be exact) but because I'm having a scheduled c section i will probably have the baby the last week in feb. I havent been on a lot because i have a lot of personal stuff going on. Hope all is well with everyone else.

Hi Ladies, New to this thread. I am 14 weeks and due on Feb 9th. I conceievd via IVF so i have been fortunate enough to have ultrasounds every 2 weeks starting at 6 weeks. It has been amazing to watch it progress. I was released to a regular OB at 12 weeks and she will does not do her ultrasounds until 20 weeks. But i do get to hear the heart beat when i go in for my regular check ups on the doppler. Always reasurring. My friend is in school to be an ultrasound tech so they will pay me to come in to cla__s and let them give me an ultrasound, i am hoping i can tell the s_x at that time too. (going in at 16 weeks) Has anyone ever been able to tell the s_x at 16 weeks?

Hi ladies. I still can not stop getting sick! If I miss one zofran thats it! I hope this pa__ses soon! My rubber bands are not cutting either!! I have 2 pair of Maternity pant but I think my work noticed that I just rotate them! lol! Time to get some more! I hope everyone is doing great!

Hey everyone. I haven't been on in while, but it's nice to see everyone is doing so well. I don't remember if I said so or not last time but when I last went to the dr they pa__sed me off the OB officially and he gave me a more accurate due date, February 9! Also, I've found something a lot worse than losing control of my bladder when I vomit and that's vomiting in the middle of getting romantic with your dh! I had to jump up and run to the bathroom and even though he was sweet and understanding I was on the verge of crying. I felt so bad. Anyways, at my next visit on the 27th I'll set up my next visit which should be to get my u/s to find out the gender. We're extatic. We both want a little girl! We'll see. We'll be happy either way. Oh and Breezie, I'm not in maternity pants yet but I can only wear a couple pairs of my normal pants and I pretty much rotate them everyday, luckily I don't work with any other women and men just don't really seem to care! lol

MaiTime -- I think we were able to tell at about 17/18 weeks last time around. They didn't give us a FOR SURE until later though (I also had a 22 week ultrasound due to bleeding).
