Pregnancy Info HOME

Hey guys, thought I'd pop in! I'm not feeling as sick as I was, but I think I have an ear infection. :( I was soooo dizzy today at work that I almost fell on the floor and had to sit down. I have my first appointment on Friday the 5th -- yeah, I know, it's a little "late" for the first appointment, lol. I may get an ultrasound to check on the babes, but I'm not sure. I just hope that, with all the "luck" on this thread, it's one and not TWO babies. LOL. I'm sending any hope of twins to those that want them (i.e. NOT ME!!). I started swelling up today like I did with my last pregnancy, ugh...I hope it's a pa__sing thing. I gained 60lbs last pregnancy; 30 of which I lost in 3 days or so (water weight). I don't want that again!!! I LIKE MY SHOES. lol.

Hi Ladies! I think I'm finally starting to feel better, although I still get bad days. I started my new pills today, and i think i will love them, and they'll help me at night more. I've def. got more energy and am hungrier, for the last months when I was at home on saturdays I could only do my housework in bursts, and then had to have a sitdown. Now I can work or do things for longer periods. I get mild headaches when I'm tired, more than I did before pregnancy. but my nausea is abating.. let's see if I can make it a week without throwing up :) Most of my pants are DEFINETLY too tight on me, I'm going to have to go shopping soon I think. I think I've been having round ligament pains, not every day, once in a while a sharp pain in my abdomen, not like a cramp. I usually need to shift positions, sit down or rub my belly and they'll stop pretty quick. Has anyone had them, can you tell me what you feel when you get them?

I get the round ligament pains when I stand up or shift position too fast. It feels like someone is grabbing my ovary and squeezing it like a lemon. lol. Very sharp, nearly debilitating pain sometimes. I usually can't move for a few seconds if I get up to quickly.

hi everyone! how are we going now we're officially in the second trimester? i had my ob appointment today (thought it was monday but got mixed up) and all my test resukts came back great. got to hear bubs on the doppler so that was rea__suring. i'm still not showing yet so i was glad to have something concrete =)

Hello everybody, ligament pain, Yes. feels like my uterus is pulling and expanding or something and yes it happens when i turn from side to side too fast. very normal cause i had the same thing with the others. Oh and my dd is officially 10 months today!!! She started walking 3 days ago, yeppie!! I'm so proud of her. My next OB apt is monday. This would be the first time i get to hear the heartbeat. i can't wait. My nausea has completely faded thank goodness. I hate to say it buy im already ready for christmas to be over cause it's just too overwhelming right now. ~christmas grinch signing out : D

Chinese for breakfast anyone?

Hi Ladies, I am 12 weeks on monday. and am due june 18th. I have my next appointment on 12-11 and i think we will get to hear the heart beat. I was very lucky i only had about 3 fits of morning sickness, but what i lacked there i made up for in congestion. I was so stuffed up i could not talk clearly, breath or sleep. I was so close to having my dh take the vacuume cleaner to my nose. (dont worry i didnt) I have also felt the pulling of muscels, at first i thought it might be cramps, but after talking to my doc they said its just the muscels getting ready for the baby. and i also notice how tight they are if i couch really hard or turn really fast. Well enough rambling, just think we are a 3rd of the way done. and one more step closer to our bundles of joy.

Hi girls, Well i met for the first time today with my midwife, she was so great. Im feeling a lot better these days. The Diclectin is working its magic but at a pretty penny I must say. Hopefully I wont need them soon. Ive defiantly popped, I now officially look prego! Im almost 14 weeks.....yeah :) This seems to be going quickly, I hope wit feeling better I can enjoy the 2nd trimester more than my first. How is everyone else feeling?

Well, I had my first appointment today and I guess my days were just a bit off (with an irregular period, I'm not really all that surprised). He estimated my due date to be June 22nd (instead of my estimated date of June 14th), so that makes me 12 weeks and 3 days. At least we got the same month! LOL. He actually did an ultrasound to measure the baby, so I didn't *hear* the heartbeat, but I did see the little guy squirming a bit. The contrast on his little pictures, though, was set too low and I can't make out anything. :( Just white and light gray blobs of something. oh well. I wish the baby had been moving around more!! I wanted to see a fighting pistol like I did with my daughter. LOL.

Good morning ladies~ How is everyone? Not much to report here. I am 12 w 4 d and feel pretty well. I still have heartburn but not as bad as it was. Any ladies picked out names. The hubby and I have gone back and forth, but cant agree on anything....completely oppsite from our first! I feel like once we know the s_x it will be easier. I am feeling like its a boy, but I was wrong with my first so WHO KNOWS! I go back on the 18th of Dec and then on the 15th of JAn...hopefully we can find out then- I will be 18weeks. I feel so fat lately, by the end of the night I am so bloated. I was hoping to show sooner just so I didnt look fat this time, but apparently my muscles are holding up so far. INot that its a bad thing. Its funny with my first pg I dont remember being so sick and tired and c___ppy! But its much different being pg when you have a toddler to run after, I cant just sleep all day this time. Its made me think this may very well be my last so I am trying to enjoy this as much as possile. But I have many years to change my mind since Im only 23!!! AHHHH Well my 22 month old is tearing apart our tree so I must go!

hey everyone!! i went to the dr. today and apparently im only 10 weeks or so. they listened for the heartbeat and when they didn't hear anything they did one of those quick u/s and there was my lo with a nice heartbeat and that's when they told me im not as far along as i thought. but due to me bfing with my dd i wasn't sure about my last mc anyhow. so i guess im being bumped back to 1st tri. that sucks!!! hope all is well and good luck. oh and they surprised me and said my new due date is July 4th !!!!!

Hi Ladies. I think it has been officially a week since the last time i threw up! YaY! even DH has noticed I've been feeling better. Still gag some, smells still set me off but I can control it better. My new pills have helped SO much! I visited a maternity store the other day, but I'm in an awkward stage where I can't fully do up my pants, but am also way too small still for maternity pants. sigh. I can feel my uterus below my waistline though now, it's harder than the rest of my belly, and it seems to be getting a little bigger all the time, but still i just look fat/bloated. I've never had a belly before, so it's wierd for me. my skin is also really itchy, especially for some odd reason, my lower back. when I bend over, it burns like the skin is stretching. maybe my hips are getting wider?? I use bio oil to attempt to stave off stretch marks, but it's... oily. so when it's done I think I'll try a cream base something for a while. How do you guys handle the itchy/stretchy skin?

Anyone feeling any movement yet? I have been for the past 2 days. Its super early (13 weeks) but this being my 2nd I KNOW its my little one in there going crazy. Its an amazing feeling. Itmakes it so much more real! Well thats all really...nothing else new. .well except for the headaches which have come back. I had them horribly with my first and now have been blessed again with them! Not lucky enough to skip it this time around..boo

I do actually feel movement every so often. I felt it this early with my first, too, which amazed me. I can't wait until it gets more frequent! :)

Im so glad that I'm not the only one feeling movement. I mean its not all day, just a few times throughout the day, mostly when I lay down at night. Its neat. I felt movement at 15-16 weeks with my first ds and others could feel it at 16 weeks too(at my wedding). It was strong. Anyone find out the s_x of their babies yet? I am so anxious to find out what I am having!

Ouch, Lucy! How incredibly scary. :( I'm so glad that your baby is okay. Did they say what caused the bleeding? 8kgs...that's almost 18 pounds. Yikes! Are you able to eat now?? Hope everything turns out okay.
