Pregnancy Info HOME

I got my form to do the glucose test last week, I have yet to set up an appointment. I will be going to do that tomorrow. I have also haven't started to see the Doc every 2 weeks yet. Like Dice, I am 26 weeks tomorrow. Last week of the second trimester. I don't know if I am ready for this yet. Oh and yesterday my Dh got to finally feel the baby move! And for Father's day to boot! Oh I don't know if I let you all know I found a job part time. I still have mixed feelings about it. I am so tired and only worked 5 hours. Blah. Anyways I should go.

I should have said a big meal ahead of time for the glucose test. Mine was earlier in the day, therefore making it breakfast for me. sbea- Congrats on your husband feeling the baby move, that is so exciting! For a while now my husband had been putting his ear to my belly to listen to the baby. He can hear it whenever he kicks! He says it sounds like someone kicking underwater. I never knew you could actually hear something from in the womb, it is awesomely crazy! Has anyone's husband been able to do this? Just curious if any one had tried it. The other day the baby kicked him in the temple. Last night he was able to pin point right where he was kicking just by listening, and then could feel it with his hand. I love this! I don't blame you for having mixed feelings about working. I am not working right now, and I am not sure that I would want to, not to make myself sound like a wimp. But being that we are close to the third and final trimester, OMG I can't believe this...we get tired more easily. My book says you return to being tired just like you were in the first trimester. I have started feeling more tired and needing more breaks to sit when I have been standing or doing something for a while. I also feel like I can't breathe the same way as I did before pregnancy, must be my lungs are starting to get squished. Good luck with your job! I am pretty sure that I am going to have to find some way of making a little money. I do have a couple of options, which is good and they are also part time and require no child care. Child care is crazy expensive...before my recent unemployment I have been in child care for 7 years. Blah blah blah, I should stop typing now LOL! I hope all is well with everyone!

Thanks ladies, I thought that they would have told me about the test before hand, but I guess every dr office is different. I understand how you ladies feel about not working, I am also not working at the time. Well I should say not working out of the house at the time. I do work at home which makes things very easy for me. I do work on line and it is great. You do as much or as little as you would like and you set your own hours, and no child care fees! You ladies should look into it. You might like it.

Hi ladies. Thanks to everyone for your well wishes. I really appreciate it! I go see my doctor this Thursday and Friday. It's funny to hear you guys talk about every other week appointments. I've been going to the docs once or twice a week every week! My hubby rarely gets to feel the baby kick. Everytime he is moving he'll put his hand on my belly and then he'll stop moving! It's kind of funny, he's teasing his daddy already. As for work, I am so worried about NOT working. I am definitely a workaholic and so afraid about what is going to happen if I go out on bedrest. I had every intention of working until the day I go into labor. Now I may be out of work for 6 months! I mean we definitely need the money, but also I am a control freak and just constantly worry about what's going on when I'm not around. I don't even take vacations, just long weekends. It is going to be an interesting adjustment...

les706~~ keep us posted on how you docs apt goes this week My little girl is like that, she moves and kicks for her big brother, but as soon as daddy or grandma puts their hand on my belly she stops. I joked and told them that she does not like them already. lol how funny my hubby was like that is so not funny

Okay, so I am going to bring back the s_x talk. Maybe I am all alone on this, but I have finally found my s_x drive and it is back with a vengence. My hubby is enjoying this "New" me. It is better than before. However why I am mentioning this is because I am starting to have these dreams...I don't know if any of you are yet as I am a little ways along as I am 26 weeks today. But the weird thing is I am having these dreams (they make me feel dirty) and they aren't really about my hubby. If I was watching tv before I went for a nap and I wasn't talking to my hubby before bed I have dreams with them in them. It is so odd for me. Well now that I feel like a sleeze, Les, I am really hoping they can find an option that will work. I pray what ever happens you can let go of some control. I know what it is like to be a work-aholic but right now they is a little boy who needs you. So let us know what the doctor says and I am praying for GOOD NEWS!! Munchmom, I would say the same thing to the DH as well. Because whenever he would talk to the baby, Peanut would move like crazy. Then for about two weeks or so Dh didn't talk to the baby and now peanut won't move when he talks to peanut and would stop moving as soon as he would try to feel it. I am glad peanut is now moving for daddy but I think it is because peanut is starting to run out of room. Speaking of moving babies, the DH said something the other night that was weird and I hadn't thought about. He was worried about how much the baby was moving, as in rolling around, doing somersaults and just moving to much that the baby was going to hurt themselves by wrapping the cord around them. I didn't know what to think or to say. I don't think it is something to worry about as it is the lack of movement that is to be worrying. Well I hope you are alright.

SBEA: Your dreams are completely normal! This is my 3rd pregnancy and I have had crazy s_x dreams every pregnancy at this stage...about ex boyfriends, male friends, colleagues, the last guy I saw on tv, etc....I always wake up feeling flushed and embara__sed but I've come to accept it's the hormones and I can't do much about that! :)

see my issue with s_x is that I just dont feel like it. Poor hubby begs me and Im like we will see, but I get in bed and I am sleep. I love hubby to death and I know that he understands, but its like I just dont want to. At first when we first found out I was preggo, I could not get enough, now it is like ugh leave me alone. Maybe because I am expanding and do not feel s_xy anymore, I dont know. I know that he tells me to take off my clothes all the time, and when I am changing he tells me all the time how s_xy I am. I so dont feel it though. I hope this will pa__s soon. I know he is so ready to get back to the way things were.

Oh and by the way I was so not like this with our first. I could not get enough during the whole pregnancy well until I got put on bed rest

Hey ladies. I haven't been posting much because I can't really post from work, then I don't feel like looking at a computer when I get home. Ah, the s_x thing. Yes, I've had crazy dreams, too. And s_x is no fun for me at all. It's not that I don't want it - I do. I don't have crazy drive, just my normal one, but when we do have s_x, it's just no fun. There is no comfortable position and the s_x itself kind of hurts. Oh well, this too shall pa__s. I'm so glad that my husband is very understanding. My glucose test is in three weeks, at my next appointment. Fun fun.

I have been wondering if I have just been different or something. I have never found that super s_x drive the books talk about! I mean, sometimes I'm like alright, fine let's just have s_x to shut him up LOL! But then I end up really enjoying it, but other times, I want him to just leave me alone. I understand what wunder is saying about the s_x kind of hurting. For me it is more uncomfortable. I think that when you are pregnant your cervix is lower. It is just a hunch I have, not a real fact that I know of. But my husband says that same thing, it is in a different place. I am 26 weeks tomorrow and still have a little loss of s_x drive which I am guessing will keep decreasing as the third trimester progresses. sbea- I too have weird s_x dreams. I wouldn't feel dirty or sleazy about them though. I am guessing they are normal seeing as how so many of us have had them. Mine are about random celebrities...and they are weird. My husband says, jeez do you ever have a s_x dream about me. I tell him the truth...NO! What is up with that though? You would think some of them would be about the man you love, wouldn't you? I wonder.......?

I think that I am going to have to ask my doc when I go in on the 6th about this one. I know that some women do have a decrease in their s_x drive, but for me not to want it at all when at first it was the total opposite, I think that something is wrong. I know huuby knows something is wrong. Maybe I will get it back to at least 4 to 5 times a week and he will be so happy. Umm I dont know, But I am going to ask though.

LOL Munchmom I read your post and thought you were saying you're going to ask your doctor if it's normal to have weird s_x dreams about other men. I was like holy c___p I can't imagine asking my doc that question!!! lol that's too funny...

LOL les you are so funny, I bet he would look at me like I was crazy if I asked him something like that. I know hubby would be like OMG who are you having dreams about. LOL how funny

Hey Girls! Yeah, the s_x dreams... I think it was one of my first pregnancy symptoms. Before I even took the test. I do feel bad sometimes also as it is NEVER about dh... oh well, nothing I can do about it. Sbea: around 30% of babies are born with the cord wrapped around their neck. It's common, don't worry about it. The delivery teams are trained for that. And I know it's easy to say, but there is really nothing we can do about it. Try to trust your little one, they know what they have to do... It's hard, I know.

munchmom-I think not wanting it at all is totally normal. I am the same way. I never had the enormous s_x drive like some girls do with any of my 3 pregnancies. I just have no interest whatsoever. SBea - my first son was being strangled by his cord as he was being born. He arrived blue. The whole episode was incredibly traumatic for us all. Lucky for us it all turned out ok in the end and he is fine (and turning 6 on Saturday!!)
