Pregnancy Info HOME

Happy Saturday - I finished off the last thread but you can always go back and catch up. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hey! I was out most of yesterday and this weekend we actually have 70 degree weather!!! I LOVE it! Capris today :) BUT, I hear there is supposed to be a snowstorm tomorrow. I can't stand the midwest weather :( I better get outside and enjoy today while I can!!!

Hi everyone. Busy couple of days, phew. Taking a breather today. I am so looking forward to my u/s on Wednesday. My dh threw me for a loop and told me that now he wants to find out if it's a boy or girl! I'm dying to know as well, but had resigned myself to waiting until DD. I'm also getting ready to start putting the nursery in order, so I'm just gonna concentrate on that. First I'm just going to go pull all of the stored baby items out of the attic and inventory what I have. I'm really looking forward to that!

Hey everyone. I haven't posted in this group since I first got BFP, but would like to get back info the loop. I will introduce myself since it's been a few months. I'm due July 31 with our first baby, a little girl. I'm 18 weeks 3 days today. I look forward to chatting with all of you!

hey Ladies - glad to see a few of you logged on - I know our thread slows down on the weekend..... Pepper - welcome! my name is Tina I am due July 2nd expecting a girl and I have 2 boys now ages 8 and 4. Amy - so do you think you could stand it if you dh knew and you didn't ??? I am going to go look at stuff after my 26 week ultrasound then I will feel confident that I am really having a girl. Today is windy as heck and in the high 50's ick - I had to run a few errands and I ran them and came right back home. I am hungry for something but everything I have tried so far isn't really hitting the spot - so the search continues

Hi Amy and Tina! Welcome Pepper! My name is Stefanie and I'm 22 weeks 2 days with a girl as well :) This is my first baby too and I am 32 years old. Whew...long day....I went to Target and "planned" to finish the registry but only got a few things on there. Then I got distracted by all this other stuff that wasn't on the list and started adding all kinds of c___p, lol! It's fun though. I figure I'll register for everything I could possibly need and then decide after the shower what I want to buy of what is left...I can always return/exchange, etc. I'm sure. A friend just gave me a big bag of baby girl clothes and onesies so I am going through that tonight and will put it in the pile I have going. I'm getting so excited, yet it still seems so far away...

STEF - yeah those pains are normal I have been having them myself this week.....very uncomfortable for sure! I just got back from having the most delcious crab dinner - I ate all of my crab too.....1.25 pounds of it - it was so good ......that was officially my first HAD TO HAVE IT craving...I was so happy my dh was on board plus he loves lamb chops so I said hey lets go to outback this way I can have crab and you can have lamb...so happy now I am sipping on some orange crystal light getting ready to relax.....talk to you all in the morning - oh oh oh then we took the boys to toys r us with the babies r us attached i had fun looking at all the stuff ...I saw the coolest nursery in a bag - 99.00 gets you a bumper pad ,comforter, sheet, ruffle, lamp wall art, mobile - I thought that was pretty good and they had a ton of cute girly patterns I am going to have so much fun doing th girly thing! LOL ok ladies talk to you in the morning

Hi ladies - hope you all had a good weekend. Mine was very low key and un-eventful, but was kinda nice for a change. Kolleen, thanks for the heads up on frog stuff at Target - they are just opening a new store here on wednesday. Stef, I get those zap "thingies" too, I thought it was like short little cramps - but really had no idea what they are. Glad to hear it must be normal if others have it though. :) Welcome Pepper - I'm Heather- 27 yrs. old and due July 4th. Tina - I love those crab legs, we all have got to stop talking about food on here - it's driving me nuts - I want one of everything!! LOL.

STEF-Sunday we had 58 here in Iowa; that was nice; but then in like 3 hrs it changed snow & ice wtf; i seriously just don't know lol. QUEEN- yah an ultrasound thats so exciting thats always the best thing to look forward too hehe. TINA- how are you hunni?

good morning all... i know i told you my lil girl was moving but now i can feel her kick. not always or alot but i do feel kicks now. i have another u/s wednesday just cuz when i went the 1st time i was only 18 weeks they like to make sure everything is good after 20 weeks. Which i am cool with i get to see my lil girl again and see how much she has grown since last month. Oh and she was sure sure i was having a girl but i have heard stories so i get to double make sure :)

Hi Pepper welcome. My name is Hillary i am 21 weeks and 5 days. Due July 9th. I also am having a lil girl. I have 2 daughters already but i am very excited to be having another :) How is your pregnancy going?

ladies i have a ? okay my friend is pregnant shell be 11 weeks tomorrow; this is her first baby shes had major complications shes been having brown discharge like when your almost done with ur period; today she went to her doctor she heard heartbeat was 210 (thats way high isnt it?) is that good or bad anyone know?

kendra i believe the heartbeat is way higher when its that little.. it gets more normal the bigger the baby gets. I also heard brwon discharge is ok as long as its not red or bright red.

Hello everyone!! Kendra - sounds like your nursery is going to be gorgeous! I am doing great - my parents want to take me and my family to Disneyland before they move away. I am so excited I won't be super huge and I will be able to enjoy everything with my youngest in fantasyland etc. he is most excited about the Peter Pan ride then maybe we can get off the hook and not take him for his birthday...LOL Heather - girl if you think you can get preggo ladies not to talk about food I think you are sadly mistaken LOL -

LUCKY- i understand that & i know that as well but my baby's heartbeat at 9 weeks (2 weeks less then her; was 186) Kelsey's hb was also in the 180s. it just seems very HIGH. i mean her doctor didn't say ne thing but she called me shes like it seems way to high. thats not right is it? TINA- that sounds like so much fun ive never been there before; id love to go but who knows. we are thinking about maybe getting six flag pa__ses who knows for sure tho.

Amy, I'm so excited to hear pink or blue from you on Wed!!! How fun, another u/s! Who else is still waiting to find out by u/s? KENDRA, I'm not sure about your friend, but 210 does sound awfully high. Normally I would think the dr. would check the hr for a while to see if it goes down because even at 11 weeks it should be slower. I think peak h/r is around 8-9 weeks from what the specialist told me (the one I saw for the first 14 weeks). After 12 or 15 weeks (can't remember which) if the heartbeat is over 180 consistently it needs to be reported to the dr as it shows baby in distress. Why did her doctor not do an u/s if she is spotting? They normally want to find out where the blood is coming from especially being 11 weeks. It could be nothing, but it could also be something. If he just did a doppler check that's kind of negligent I think. I don't know...I remember my first doppler I got said in the instructions that if you get readings over 200 it is the mothers heartbeat because it picks it up and doubles it or something--I sent that doppler back so I don't have the instructions that explained it anymore! Sorry :( Just tell her to see if she can get in for a scan...Hillary, I'm finally getting to see the kicks and loving it everyday! I went to my acupuncturist today and she felt a big ol one! She started laughing so hard. It was very cool. I also got a BH contraction while I was laying on the table and I told her to feel it really quick and she caught the whole thing! I've never had anyone around to feel it when it happens so that was verycool too. Well, I ate a steak and veggies and pasta for lunch so I am feeling sleeeeepy.....be back later....
