Pregnancy Info HOME

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.

Where are you cramping? is it high or low in you pelvis? I had a problem like that when I was about 23-24 weeks and well I had a bladder infection that was getting worse. I missed all the earlier signs since they mimic so much of the pregnancy symptoms. I doubt you have it. You could just have a bug. I hope you are feeling better soon! If you can't keep any fluids down though, keep an eye on that. You might need to talk to your doctor sooner or go to Emerg.

So...I called the midwife today. She told me that she thinks it is too early in my pregnancy to be having hip discomfort. I suppose it could be my shoes, I have been wearing nothing buy flip flops for weeks on end now. I started wearing more croc like shoes, and it is a little better. She told me to try a belly band thing for support and wear supportive shoes, like sneakers. I am not so sure that my belly is big enough to be needing a support band...oh well. munchmom04- I would definitely call my doctor if I were you. They may want you to come in to see why you are so sick. I wouldn't just leave it if it were me. I sure do hope you feel better soon! I have been very lucky with having no BH contractions. I am sure they are on their way though.

Well ladies I guess it was just what I was eating. I made some rotel for dinner today and I ate a nice portion of it and I have not been sick today. I was cramping down low. I dont know if it was because I was throwing up so much. I am able to keep down some water now. Noelle has been moving her b___t off, so I guess all is well. If i have any more pain or anything like that then I will give my doc a call.

Dicegirl: I found that strange (that your midwife thinks it's too early for hip pain). I started having them even in the first trimester both times... anyhow, you can probably expect them after delivery too. The first time around, I had pain until about 5 months after delivery. I guess it's only the pelvis moving to the good widht. Munchmom, are you feeling any better? I think I'm going to take a peek in the 3rd tri board as I am now 27 weeks! Yeah!

Just my 2-cents: I did not have any BH contractions with either of my first 2 pregnancies. Labor came as a complete surprise both times when my water broke. (thankfully happened at home both times!)

Hey ladies how are you all? Just wanted to update and let you all know how the baby shower went on Saturday. Well Noelle has everything that she will need for the first year of her life. We had a diaper raffel and we got so many diapers. We only got up to size 2 so after that we will have to buy more. Umm she has so many clothes, and things like that. I was so shocked and suprised by how much we had gotten. The only thing that we have to buy is some wet wipes and some bottles ( just in case it dont work b___stfeeding). But besides that she is all good. I wish I could post a pic and let you all see eveything she got. It was so much fun the guys played dress the baby, and we had many other games. We also had a cupcake cake and that was so cute. I am so excited. Now we just have to find a place to put everything.

Hi Munchmom! My shower went well also, we still need some stuff, but I'm having a 2nd shower w/ my Florida friends & family. Hopefully we'll get some stuff we need. Is it wrong to throw my own shower? We have friends and cousins down here, but I don't feel any are close enough to throw a party without me dropping hints, I was thinking my hubby and I could just throw like a BBQ/shower at our house or a a restaurant.. is that weird? I think I've started having very random BH, they don't hurt though, jsut weird.

SAMARA-in my opinion, I don't think it would be approprite to throw your own shower, especially because you already did have a shower, so it's not like you didn't get to have one. I think you should be thankful/content with the way things are because anything else may come across greedy to people. Just my opinion.

I totally understand what your saying, maybe I should explain. We've lived in FL for about 5 years. My brother and his wife lived here and his wife killed herself about 3 months ago, I know if she was here she'd be throwing the 2nd shower since I flew to Chicago where most of my family and friends are for the 1st shower. We have friends and family down here who live a few hours away, along with co-workers who were always out with and a few friends in the neighborhood. I dunno I'm still thinking about it, part of me feels like people could take it as tacky, but really its just that the person who would have thrown it for me is dead now. I dunno. Thanks for your input though!

Samara- I'm sorry to hear about your sister in law, that is really really awful. My thought is that since you have so many family and friends in the area, surely most of them will choose to give you a gift on their own once you have the baby;i t's just that it wouldn't be in an organized fashion - meaning all on the same day at the same event like it would at a shower. I think if somebody steps up and offers to have one for you, then go for it, but otherwise I think you should stay mum and I personally would not try to have one for yourself.

Samara~~ I am totally different on what I think. I mean what is wrong with having a BBQ/shower? I think that if you dont have many friends in the area where you are then throw your own shower. My sister did and she has been living in the same place for almost 5 years, with almost all of the family not more than a hour away. I mean just try to explain it as it is going to be a BBQ but if anyone wanted to bring a gift or something for the new baby then that is fine also. Im glad that you had a good shower also. You know I was talking about having two becasue family could not all be here last week for the shower. But we are just having one because we dont need anything, and it was a very busy last weekend. My sister still could not be here for the shower, but she said she will come after Noelle is born. But do what you feel in your heart is right. I mean everyone is going to have their own thoughts and suggestions on it, but it is your shower and your baby. Good Luck

Samara- I can argue both sides on the throwing your own baby shower subject. On one hand, I understand why you might want to so you can have that time with all the family and friends that might not think to throw you one. They might all be thinking that someone else is doing it, and waiting to receive an invitation in the mail, you never know. But also, one of them could be secretly planning you a surprise shower! It might be fun to all get together and have BBQ/shower, but I wouldn't expect people to bring a gift. On the other hand, when my husband's cousin was pregnant for her first, she threw herself a baby shower. At the time it didn't seem that bad, but now after thinking about it, I thought it was kind of tacky. I mean, her mother, friends or family, never got the chance to throw her one because she made it clear she was doing one herself. I don't know though. I would do what makes that most sense to you and your family. Maybe run it by your mom or someone close, and get their input. I hope it all goes well no matter what you decide!

hey ladies do any of you have a lazy baby? I am asking because my little girl moves only when I eat. I had not felt her all day, even after I ate this morning. Then all of a sudden my hubby comes over to the chair where I am sitting and starts talking to her and bam there she is moving like crazy. Im like WOW she is so lazy.

munchmom04- My little guy moves like crazy when I a laying down. He really likes to kick and move! I am not saying that there is anything to worry about with your little girl, I am not a doctor...but have you done a kick count chart? My midwife just gave me one yesterday. She said I didn't need to do it because I am not high risk, but it is still fun to do for me. I just lay on my side and count how many times I feel him move. According to the chart, a baby should be moving at least 10 times every two hours. If they don't, then it says you should call your doctor right away. Again, I am sure there is nothing to worry about, just something to think about.

munchmom-do you know where your placenta is placed? I ask because with this pregnancy my placenta is in the front of my uterus, which means I feel much less movement because the placenta absorbs the movements and the movements I do feel are much less forceful then with the other 2 babies I have had. So if you are like me then your experience with feeling the baby will be much different than if your placenta were attached in the back of your uterus.
