Pregnancy Info HOME

Good morning girls! OooSbea - sorry about your finger - ouch! So last night I was laying in bed and feeling my stomach and noticed it was significantly harder on the right then left, I a__sume its her getting comfy on one side. I don't have any pain Or anything on that side, might ask my doctor when I see him on the 20th. Anyone else having heartburn issues? Seems like if I don't eat as soon as I'm hungry or if I eat to many carbs I get heartburn, sucks! Tums are my beast friend now

SAMARA- you and I are close in due dates, I am due 10/28. I probably told you that already! However, dr expects me to deliver earlier as both the boys were 2 wks early. We'll see! Surprisingly, I haven't had the heartburn issues yet. I do have other irritating digestive issues like diarreahea every morning and evening (sorry tmi!) anybody else suffering with this???

MNMOM we are close in dates also, Im due the 27, but she will be here by scheduled c section on the 19th.

I have had heartburn so bad this pregnancy. I also use Tums on a regular. I also drink alot of milk and eat alot of ice. I dont know if it will help any of you guys, but it worked for me.

Ha! Maybe I am having a girl! I had heartburn bad with the boys but haven't had any yet with this pregnancy. The suspense is getting intense! :)

MNMOM ~~~ you are not wanting to find out what you are having? Wow thats strong. I wanted to know as soon as I could

Munchmom-We did not find out with child #1, we DID find out with child #2...having done it both ways, the surprise at birth is WAY better! :) I don't care either way, so it will be a happy surprise!

I was just wondering if anyone has started to get hip pains? I started getting them yesterday. I have read it is from your hips spreading to ready themselves for birth. All I know right now is...IT HURTS! I am going to call my midwife tomorrow, but wanted to know if this has been happening to anyone else.

Dicegirl - is this your first baby?? I am too old to remember back to my first pregnancy but at this point, being as I am on #3, I don't personally think my hips can get any bigger so I think I am spared that part of pregnancy this time around!!! :) In all seriousness, I would say it is likely that that is exactly what you are feeling and why. You can always take some tylenol to see if that helps ease the pain.

MNMOM- Thank you for getting back to me. Yes, this is my first baby! I was seriously thinking of taking some tylenol last night but since I was going to bed anyhow, I figured I could hold off. I didn't know if maybe I slept funny one night or something to make my hips feel like this. But it isn't going away and it has been a couple days now...so I am pretty sure that they must be spreading...OH JOY! LOL!! I am going to still call my midwife today, but I am pretty sure she will tell me the same. I guess I just didn't know that this wonderful part of pregnancy started so soon. (I am 28 weeks today.) I thought I had some time still, but I suppose I should get used to it for the next 12 weeks or so!

Hey girls! Yes, heartburn bad... Had a girl first time, was bad, having a boy this time and just as bad! LOL! I am taking Zantac150 twice a day and it works wonder! Dicegirl: I did have severe pain in my hips the first time around. Try to sleep with something in between your legs. I found doing some stretches before getting up in the morning would help. I fell coming out of the shower 2 nights ago and hit my hip and shoulder (fell on my side), man I am so sore! I also did the glucose test this week... just one piece of advice: drink it as quickly as possible! So, how's everyone doing today???

OH, I forgot: I started having contractions in the past week. I know it's common... anyone else started to have BH contractions? ANd about mat leave: I worked until a week before my due date last time... and planning to do the same again if I can... Just want to have as much time as possible after the birth with Mr. boy.

CgGirl-I have had a couple BH contractions but they are few and far between. Though I try to keep track of them as I am now 28 weeks. Dice- I had the same problem with my hips. Same with muscle pain up in my back that would spread around the front. Once I started to sleep with a pillow between my knees ad one under my expanding tummy it helped alot. I still get back pain but it is better. My poor husband is rubbing my back every night now. I feel so needy. I am usually so independent and now I have to ask for so much help! It is hard to do. Otherwise Peanut is moving lots and often I get kicked in the kidneys. I think I am going to need a kidney replacement by the time the baby is born!

Hey Les how is everything going?

It's going alright, still a lot up in the air. I had an ultrasound this past Tuesday and my cervix was measuring 2.0-2.2. My perinatologist is recommending I start steroid shots for the baby's lungs in case I do go into premature labor. I see my OB tomorrow morning to find out if I should go on bedrest or not. My peri basically left it up to me to decide, so hopefully my OB gives me a clear, concise answer. Oh I also get terrible heartburn. Tums stopped working for me early on so I take Pepcid. It's definitely the worst at night when I'm in bed. Oh yeah and Digiacomo - I'm also due October 30th. I am 24 weeks tomorrow...can't wait to clear 28 weeks! How are you doing sbea?

Quick question... has anyone been so sick to where they can not keep anything down? I mean I feel ok, but when I ate this morning (a bowl of cereal) a few hours later I found myself over the toilet throwing it up. So i am like ok so I got a bottle of water and some saltine crackers and once again i threw that up also. Then for luch I had a chicken pot pie and a bottle of water. Wow as so as i was done eating that I threw that up also. I dont know what is going on with this little one. I have been having some cramps all day and I dont know if its from the fact that I can not keep anything down or what. I was just at the doc on Monday and all was well. Please help I dont know what to do.
