Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Penny, I thought I would drop in on you guys, to let you know that I felt the same way from about week 20-23 or so. It was just when I was standing in one place for anything more then 5 minutes, I would have to sit down or start moving around. I am now 28 weeks and this hasn't happened in a while, I am not sure what it was, but it is pretty common, and I am sure everything is fine.

I am SO relieved to hear your stories of how you feel (NOT that I'm happy you feel that way) because I've been feeling really rotten today. Not a whole lot like I'm going to pa__s out, but weakness and nausea.. And my head and stomach have this non-specific ache. Its kinda scaring me. My neighbor was 7 mo pregnant when her baby died because his umbilical cord twisted... (this was a few weeks ago) So now I'm feeling totally paranoid. I've not felt movement at all since this last weekend, which I know is normal this early on, but it is not making me feel better! I think maybe I'm just going crazy!

Misty - yeah, my grandma is pretty crazy, but not that crazy.... I don't think... hmmm... Seriously, she is pretty scarred from her childhood - oldest of 11, was more a mom than a sister to her brothers and sisters while her mom was popping out the next one. Dirt poor, too. Depression era... then when she was 15 her grandpa committed suicide, and she found him. I didn't know all this stuff until a few years ago - I just thought she was kind of intentionally completely nuts....

robyn - unfortunately, it's not a preggi shop - it's a normal skinny girl place - don't even know why i bother... sorry, i'm bummed out, just had a fight with hubby and i'm sooo p__sed right now... why don't they think about our feelings right now - what part of i'm not supposed to be stressed out during this pregnancy does he not understand?

Thanks Jennifer!!! that does make me feel better......and I was standing there for more then 5 minutes, so now I know better :).... D- I finally felt her kick me HARD yesterday...Im only 18 weeks, and she's already got a fierce kick. I'm finally feeling her move a lot more and then the kick happened more then once yesterday....Oweeee...sheezzz My next appt isn't till the 20th, but I'm going to try to relax and not worry about anything........I think because she's getting bigger I need to change some eating habbits.....(eat before I get to work) :) Thanks Girls, I'm always so happy to know that your all there for me (along with the rest of us) when we need a pick me up!!! Thank you!!

Sorry for the argument with your hubby RB. And sorry about all your grandma had to go through D. That is some pretty tough business to have to try to deal with when you are little. Anywho, I'm making lunch for me and my little one right now. Should be done in about 5 minutes. I'm making honey bbq wings with peas and b___tered bread. Not the best (except for the honey bbq wings part) but I'm looking forward to it. :-) I'm goint to go sit with my boy for a little while so he doesn't grow up thinking his mom likes the computer more that him. :-( I'll be back on later.

Don't worry about me and my family probs! I'm sure just about everyone who has ancestors who survived the great depression have similar stories. I just wish today would end! Its dragging on and on and on.... I've tried to burn the hospital down - not seriously, but I've been making business cards with raised lettering, and my equipment heats up to 800 plus degrees F, so when a paper gets stuck in it.... smoke and flames! :-) fun fun fun.

ok D - back away from the equipment ;) - where is everyone? working again? this whole working thing is getting out of hand... i gotta step out in a bit to buy a coupla mom's day presents... brb

Hey guys, I had to cut some checks, but I hae returned. Penny, the exact same thing happened to me last week but I dont remember if I posted or not. I was sitting on the couch and went to get up and got a head rush so sat back down and it kept comming and my vision started to blur a little and I got all sweaty and hot and clamy at the same time. My heart was beating all fast and I just felt like I was going to pa__s out! I made it to my bedroom and laid down and took a nap, when I woke up I was ok. I was so scared and home alone I was about to call 911!!! Its so scary but I asked the docand they said its normal and I might be experiencing that more and more. I had a little episode today but nothing servere I was sitiing at the desk and all of a sudden got really light headed and tired, then snapped out of it as soon as I sneezed. Its weird but normal hun youre probably fine but if youre worried call the doc. Never hurts, thats what we pay them millions of dollars an hour for!!! LOL RB I am so sorry about you and your hubbie. Just give him a swift kick in the a__s and run away really fast so he doesnt know who did it! They dont get it about the stress poart and about whatever we feel they feel so our babies might come out pulling their hair out and b___hing about their boss and their day....lol. Bad mental picture....tee hee hee. They suck, but they do get better. It seems like ever since my last U/S when we found out what they were he has been all extra nice and sweet and loving....weirdo. Ha ha ha ha. Want me to beat him up? Ill do it! Man youre the second one on this chat I have offered my fiesty fat mafia services out to....heh....I kick any ones a__s....ha ha ha ha. Yeah right in reality the worst I could do would be to cry on them...ha ha ha take that!

kinda glad you mentioned that penny...i've kin da felt the same way lately.....weak, tired wooozy....and D i know about the non secific pains....maybe its low blood pressure?? i know the babes almost double in weight over the next few weeks, so that gotta take a lot of work on the bod......and not to mention the growing pains...not to mention ..did you know your heart enlarges 30-50 %?? i would think that too could account for some woozyness.....i feel like i just look fat today, not pregnant, not cute...just fat... i was just chatting with a 20 year old skinny girl i work with, and i've always been tiny (even now i'm only 105 lbs) and she doesn't know i am preggy.....anyways we were talking about fast metabolisms, and i was going to say something about eating more at breakfast when you get older....and mall i got out was 'when you get older' and she cuts me off and say...'it catches up with you?'........so she obviously thinks i'v just got a chubby belly........i had convinced myself i wasn't showing yet.....lol........time to spread the word i guess.......

Hey misty I am staving....toss me a wing! D...thats all you need burnt my office to a crisp on your resume! LOL Hey blame it on preggie hormones and they will let you off with a warning and some comunity service...lol...hmmm...

goody. now I have an enlarged heart... I always heard that was a pretty serious condition... ;-) You know, mom says, "yeah, I just talked to your aunt quincy last week, and the bad news is aunt martha has colon cancer and uncle larry has been diagnosed with an enlarged heart." "So, mom, what's the good news?" "Well, remember how great aunt dorothy was looking pregnant? it was only ovarian cysts!" ;-) The list just keeps growing.... belly b___ton pop, nipple leaks, permanently stuck out nipples, boys that squirt, toots.... I take it our hearts go back to normal after this too, or else all women who have kids would be dying of heart related problems!

Haha, trust me Robyn, you don't want one of those wings. They came out hooorible. The only good food was the pees and the bread and b___ter. :-) Funny how the one part I was excited about ended up being the one part I didn't eat. Tomorrow night though. Mmmm. I'm making flank steak with b___termilk biscuits and corn on the cob and double baked potatoes. Oh it sounds sooo good. I can't hardly wait.

you know, if we met most of those people (the ones on General pregnancy today) in different circ_mstances, we probably wouldn't think they were that strange at all. The problem I see is, its a very emotional set of topics, (and most people on this site are over-emotional women), and when people get this emotional, they tend to start making grand proclamations they can't substantiate. I wonder if the person who asked the original question is serious, or if its just someone who likes to stir things up to watch the fur fly. Personally, I enjoy our goofy subjects pretty well.... so, anyone want to be goofy? Its about all I think I'm capable of today!

Now I'm all alone again, nowhere to go, no one to turn to..... without a friend, without a face to say hello to.... Oh, sorry. Got distracted singing again. (Les Miserables - my version) I'm just sitting at my desk all alone cutting business cards... all 2250 of them...

I am here, just eating and typing withone hand. dont want to put down the pickle....
