Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I am 13 weeks and I am finally starting to get *some* engery back. I still have good and bad days with my nausea and I have no appetite for anything except bagels. I swear my child is going come out looking like a bagel

I go for my 16 week check-up in a few weeks and already scheduled my 20 week sono for May 10th. When I went for my Nuchal they told me I should schedule it now because they get booked so fast.

I can only fit into 2 pairs of pants and I have been shopping for maternity clothes. Its so difficult right now because the warmer weather is coming and i do not want to buy winter clothes. I'm hoping it gets warm really fast!

I went shopping with my mom last weekend and it was fruitless so I just ordered a bunch of stuff from the gap and babystyle. Hopefully I will find something that looks decent on me.

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I am 16 weeks and feeling ok! Heartburn stinks, but I'll take that over morning sickness!!

I have my level II sceduled for April 4th!! SO excited!!! We are finding out the sex and I can't wait. I'll be 18 weeks at the appointment, I hope the baby cooperates with us

Hope all the other moms to be are doing well!!

ps-I am convinced my coworkers prob think I am poor. I have been wearing the same three pairs of pants, just alternating with shirts and sweaters that barely fit me. I can't wait to shop for more maternity!!!

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I am just about 27 weeks now. I feel great other than the sciatica which has really put a damper on this pregnancy. I try to enjoy every second of being pg but thats hard when you can hardly walk. Oh yeah, and the heartburn I could do without too.
I go for my glucose tolerance next week so hopefully that goes well.
I painted the baby's room and the carpet guy came to measure yesterday. I have become obsessed with shopping and the room and go in there just to look about 10 times a day!
Other than that, nothing else exciting. I guess no news is good news!

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I will be 34 weeks tomorrow, and still going to the dr weekly for non stress tests. I am still on meds to stop the contractions along with partial bedrest, but I AM DONE WITH THE MEDS in a couple weeks!!! YAY!! Doc said around 36 weeks i can go off cause there is no more threat to the pg.

The leg cramps have started, and oh boy that heartburn is brutal, my baby girl has lots of hair too, we saw it at my 32 week sono. I am tired again like i was in my 1st trimester so the bedrest thing isn't bothering me so much anymore.

Otherwise I am feeling pretty good!

We are getting so excited to meet her! I just wish my furniture was here already so I can start washing and preparing everything.

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I started week 31 yesterday. Baby is measuring right on target for May 24th!
I just signed DH and I up for the prepared childbirth class and infant CPR next month.

Having a LOT of pelvic pain. It feels like I've been riding a horse for 5 hours
When I turn over in my sleep, the pain wakes me up.

Otherwise I'm a little fatigued; I'm usually out cold by 9 or 9:30pm

The baby is VERY active. It's so weird to look down and see my belly move and stretch like a little alien is trying to get out!

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I'm 28 weeks, and feeling a lot more pregnant lately. I was lucky, for most of this pregnancy there were days that I could almost forget I was. I think those days are over with this belly... I'm still feeling good but more easily fatigued.

I have my GD test next week, and the last of my monthly doctor visits. I guess they'll be more frequent now.

I can't believe I'm in the 3rd trimester, and only have 12 weeks to go! It seems to have flown by.

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I'm about to finish my 22nd week, I can't even believe that.
Except for my freaky eye/face problem all is good. I haven't gained too much weight (8 pds total) and I feel pretty good.
I just got invited to my shower in NY which is happening next month and my boss just told me save the date for my work shower.
I don't know why but the showers make it feel waaay more real!
Darren and I are going to start doing the Nursery walls and such this weekend (AND order the glider which I am pretty excited about!)

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I am 13 1/2 weeks and have been feeling great. No MS and in fact forget I am even preggers sometimes. All my clothes still fit except for one pair of jeans. I can't wait to find the sex out...and looking forward to looking preggers a little anyway :)!

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I was 14 weeks yesterday and I feel really good. I'm off to Florida tomorrow and can't wait to sit in the warm sun with my big ole belly! It seems to have popped this week and I look much father a long than I am, but I'll be on that beach anyway

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

well, I am not TOO sure how far along I am! I thought I was almost certain, but everytime I go for a sono, my date changes, and now he's measuring bigger than where I thought I was at!!!

At my 3/17 sono, he measured 27weks and 5 days. I am due sometime in June

BUT ... I feel good! It's getting hard for me to move around, I "rock" myself off the couch and can't bend to tie my own shoes, but otherwise, no real complaints!

I've gained 15lbs to date. He is soo active it's incredible ... dh and i just sometimes sit and 'watch' him punch, poke, and kick! So amazing!

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I'm just about to start my 18th week

Feel good with the exception of some stomach pain which I think is due to my digestive system slowing down and making me a little gassy. Colace is a beautiful thing.

I have my energy back now for a few weeks and I am constantly eating. So far I've gained 5 lbs and I think I will start to really show over the next few weeks. People at work can't tell I'm pg unless I tell them but soon I think that will change.

Have my 20 week sono scheduled for 4/8. I can't believe I'm almost halfway there

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I'm 29 weeks and doing well in general. I'm just getting over pneumonia - just in time to get big and out of breath. I popped further while I was in the hospital though b/c my pjs got really tight. The baby is great, he moves around like a madman. I'm trying to get my 2 kids use to the idea of a new baby. My son is 3 1/2 and gets it (more or less) - he loves feeling my belly move and having family hugs with the belly involved - but my 20 month old has no idea. Everything is "mine" with her now so it will be interesting to see how she handles a another family member. The baby is about 3 lbs already and the next few weeks will tell if I will be scheduling a repeat c/s or trying (hopefully) for a VBAC. I'm trying to savor this pregnancy since we decided we are done after this one.

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I'm 13 weeks now, still have a lot of m/s and cant wait for it to go away. I'm definitely in the in between stage with clothes, my regular clothes are getting too tight and the maternity are still too big.

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

You all know my situation Just hoping my blood presure and swelling goes down by Tuesday for my next doctors appt. Just entering my 31st week

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I am 18 weeks and measuring for about 17 weeks. I went for a sono last week, and since I am up visiting my NY doctor, he is doing another sono today. I keep trying to decide if i want to know the sex or not. I do but I dont! I only have 2 hours to decide!!

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

Am at 32 weeks now and getting very uncomfortable. Lots of pain down there in my pelvic bone and both sides of my groin area so sleeping has become such a chore. I can't sleep on my side without causing the pain so I'm on my back again. Baby is four pounds now and I can't wait. I'm getting huge as well. Some maternity items are now not fitting-weird feeling. Very anxious to find out if our little bee is a girl or a boy and to meet him or her. Crib is set up and glider too, but we're waiting on the diaper changing table to come in still. room is painted and the rug is down.

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I am at 37 wks and 5 days
I have been feeling pretty uncomfortable. It's getting harder to breathe. I have been so hungry lately. Luckily, I haven't been really gaining much weight at this point even though I feel like I am eating a lot more.
I am trying to enjoy my baby as much as I can, I know I will miss him being inside of me. Right now it's just the two of us.
I can't believe I am almost there!

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I am 14 weeks today! I feel good, can't really complain. Just have some headaches here and there. Still waiting for the results from my Ultrascreen 2 weeks ago. I have a dr. appointment on Monday, so hopefully he will have the results for me.
Happy to be in the 2nd trimester!!!

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

I;m 17 1.2 weeks and feeling pretty good, as long as I take my daily Zofran. Have put back on 5 pounds but am still down about 10. Had my AFP bloods drawn Tesday and am waiting for the results. As of now both babies are measuring right on schedule and each weigh 6 ounces. Their heartrates were both 158, so I guessing I have two girls in there - won;t find out till my level II on 4/12.

Re: All Moms-to-be Check in!

Hi I am going to be 15 weeks on Tuesday....time flies, doesn't it? I am doing well - my only symptom still is exhaustion at night but I'll take it! We have our next appt in three weeks and will have the spina bifida (I think??) test....we have just really started telling our families....its fun but our friends seem more excited than our family most of the time
