Checking in - status

I'm 28 weeks today (where is the time going)!
She is kicking like crazy. She woke me up twice last night kicking and this morning I rolled over on my side and she kicked me 13 times in about 30 seconds. It's amazing. I'm starting to feel more sweeping movements in my belly too in addition to the kicking.

I have heartburn, a lot. My back pain is getting worse, the chiro helps a little but not as much as it used to. My fingers are a little swollen and my ankels too.

I noticed that I really have to eat smaller portions of food now. If I eat a normal size meal, it's just too much for me and then I can't breathe! My stomach fills up and then pushes my lungs up and I can't breath or take a deep breath. It's a weird feeling.

Here's my chart for this week...only 84 days to go!

Wow, you have an active little girl in there!!!

I hope you get a better nights rest tonight and hopefully the heartburn goes away!!

Re: Checking in - status

I am 26 weeks. I have started to get heartburn again. I did not have it for like 6 weeks and I thought I was over it. I too have to eat smaller portions of food. I also started peeing every 20 minutes again. Here is my ticker...

My ticker is not posting!!!!

I'm basically 21 weeks (20w6d). We went for the 20 week sonogram on Saturday and the radiology tech told us everything looks great. I had a chocolate chip muffin from Dunkin Donuts before we went, so the peanut was dancing all over, made it a little hard for her to do the measurements. We didn't find out the gender this time either.

I still forget at times I'm pregnant since Sarah and the kitchen renovation keep me so busy. Every once in a while I'll realize the baby's been kicking and think "What is that? Oh yeah." Duh.

ETA ticker (hopefully it works this time)

Wow!! 28 weeks already. Time is flying. I'll be 26 weeks on Thursday. My baby boy is also very active. I can't wait till May so we can all have or May babies. June will be a very special day for all the new Dad's out there.

Re: Checking in - status

I have swollen fingers and feet and feel as if I am getting the beginnings of carpal tunnel The little Animal is a very active kicker and in fact she is thumping on my belly as we speak!

Re: Checking in - status

I am 28w3d, can't believe how fast time has flew. My baby girl is starting to hurt me with the kicks, and the other day i felt her foot while pressing on the area she was pushing.. so amazing.

DH is loving feeling her, and she kicks him throughout the night too

I have noticed my appetite has decreased alot, and like MrsJ, I can't eat big meals anymore because I get full soo easy.

The partial bedrest is beginning to get to me, I miss being able to do things, but it's what's best, and between the meds and bedrest, my contractions are almost non existent. I have about 1-4 a week, instead of 4-6 or more an hour.

I had carpal tunnel pre-pg, so that flamed up again, but otherwise I feel really good. I am sleeping through the majority of the night, and getting excited to meet my baby girl in a couple months!

I am 32 weeks and 1 day today. My little one is very active too. He kicks me all the time and I definitely feel more sweeping movements in my belly, those feel a little weird. I can see him shift from one side to the other. It's amazing!
My ankles and hands have begun to feel swollen at the end of the day. But, not too bad.
Over all, I feel GREAT.
Here is my chart...only 55 days to go!!

Re: Checking in - status

well i am much earlier on than everyone who has posted so far but i will join in. I am 10 weeks and 3 days. I have gained 2lbs but thats because i have been erating pure junk. I dont have much of an appitite and i am not in the mood for anyting so i try to treat myself with stuff i will eat and then it turns in to a night of wendys or pizza that has to stop.
And i bought my first pair of maternity pants saturday!

Re: Checking in - status

I am in my 15th week. Waiting for the results of my AFP- the NT Screen looked good, just waiting on the blood.

Zofran helped my m/s, feeling a little bit better. I seem to have my heartburn under control for now.

My appetite had skyrocketed!


DH and I are NOT finding out the gender.

All is good!!

Re: Checking in - status

I am 11w2d today I have an appointment for my ultrascreen on 2-23-06, I am hoping they MIGHT be able to tell me what it is then ahhaha. I think I am finally getting some of my energy back, but not much. I am not insanely hungry and havent been eating too much, but I do feel thicker. my regular pants arent going to last much longer!

Re: Checking in - status

Re: Checking in - status

I'm 11 weeks and 4 days now. Gained about 4-5lbs so far which is great because I think I had lost a few in the begining due to loss of appetite. I definetly have an appetite now and have been feeling pretty good except for my sinuses. I go for my 12wk ck up this wednesday and my nuchal test on Friday. No maternity clothes yet but I only wear scrubs and stretchy pants now so I'll probably be able to get away with that for a little while longer.

Here's my ticker:




ETA: I feel dumb for asking but can anyone tell me what the CRL in the ticker description stands for? I have no clue!

Re: Checking in - status

I'm 26 weeks. I actually had to look that up - DH and I just moved to Colorado a little over a week ago, so I lost track of how far along I am!
My little baby is also quite an active kicker. I almost always felt the kicks in my lower abs, but now I'm starting to feel movement up towards my outer ribs. I just started to feel the sweeping movements.
I also have my appetite back; I used to have to force myself to eat, and if I ate to much it would feel like I had food jammed in my esphogus for hours. Now I can eat more, although I still get full really easy so I try not to over-do it.

When we were packing and unpacking, my lower back was KILLING me. Bending over is getting harder to do (because of my belly) and if I bend too much it really bothers my lower back.
Otherwise, no complaints other than dry skin in the weirdest places and a constant stuffy nose (but that could also be from the 7,000 foot altitude here).

Re: Checking in - status

I am 19 weeks today. I go for my level 2 next week! we are not finding out the gender, even though i really want to know. dh doesnt want to find out. so i am hoping the sono tech screws up and says something by accident LOL! i am feeling better. my carpel tunnel still hurts alot. i am still craving tacos and strawberry milk (not together!) so far all of my tests have come back okay! we just started registering, which is completely overwhelming!

Re: Checking in - status

Re: Checking in - status

I am 31 weeks 9 weeks to go! I can't believe it. DH and I just got back from Miami last night. It was so good to feel the sun.

I think my belly button is about to pop and I feel like i am getting bigger every day. Other than getting tired and slowing down, and some back pain when I walk too much- I am feeling great!! Oh- and the heartburn. Once every few weeks I have terrible heartburn at night.

But overall I am doing great!!
