Me too due in Feb 16th 2009. This my fifth week end. But I am scared las one week light brown spotting happening whenver going to restroom. I went to doctor and they did ultra sound and said cervix is closed but too early to see kid heartbeat.
Is anyone faced this kind of problems? ↑
Hi ladies! I don't remember being this tired when I was pregnant with my daughter. I wish that I could go back to working part time, but with baby #2 on the way, I can't afford it. Still battling nausea, but it isn't as bad as it was...thank goodness. I do go tomorrow for an ultrasound, which is exciting. But at the same time it has me worried because the day my results from my second blood test came back was when they scheduled it. I just hope that there's nothing wrong...but if there was something wrong, they would have said something...right? jcross, you said that you're sick and you weren't with your son....that amuses me because I wasn't sick at all for my daughter but I am now (which is why people are telling me already that I'm having a boy). ↑
I'm due February 6, which is also my birthday. I'm going to the gynacologist in 2 days for my first big checkup. I was at my doctor a few weeks ago. I feel pretty good although I get morning sickness at 3 or 4 in the morning which is very annoying. Only problem is is I live in Europe and lots of things are done differently here (besides everything being in a different language) and so I"ve been trying not to panic and pretend everything is all right. Still, I can't wait to see my first ultrasound. ↑
I'm a February Mama too, due Feb. 7th with #2. We're really excited because conceiving #1 took a year but this one happened RIGHT AWAY, lol! I had my bloodwork done at the hospital, but I haven't been in to actually see MY doctor yet, that'll happen in a week or so. I feel pukey all the time, I'm tired (though not as tired as with #1), and my jeans are starting to feel a little tight. Darnit. Was hoping I could keep this a secret at least for the first 12 weeks, but I'm afraid I'll need my maternity jeans earlier than expected! And for some reason I'm not as eager to tell everyone this time around. ↑
Although we are wanting a girl, I've been having dreams that it''s a boy, and in my family, those are taken very seriously because supposedly my mother had dreams and they were always right, so now everyone is saying it's a boy. At first I was super upset but now it's like I almost have my heart set on a boy...lol what a rollercoaster... We still won't know for another 11 weeks or so though, but I'm happy because now I think no matter what they tell me I'm having,I'll be happy. Has anyone else had any intuition about what they are having? And be honest, has anyone given in and bought any baby stuff yet...I'm guilty. Just one outfit though! :) ↑
Monstera, I'm bad at secrets, everyone around me knows... lol It makes it fun and I figure if anything goes wrong, that's just more support I'll have. ↑
Ladies, I just got back from my doctors appointment. Turned out that the gynacologist was a little cold and indifferent. Ah well...so he asks me to get in the chair for the ultrasound but he couldn't see anything. So I had to have a vaginal scan. He was quiet for a long time and just kept moving the thing around and looking at the screen. Then he says so here's the heartbeat (me really happy) and here's the other heartbeat. Well I kinda went into shock. Not exactly what I was expecting! This pregancy was not planned and although we're happy we weren't really prepared for this one. I called my husband (he's in Asia working) and told him. He started crying. I called my mother in Canada and she right away demanded that I move there. But I live in the Netherlands so no go! Anyone else expecting twins? ↑
Hi, Ladies. :) I'm pregnant with my 3rd, due Feb. 15th. I had some serious bleeding over a week ago... but an u/s showed baby is in the uterus with a good heartbeat. I've been crampy alot and scared. Thought I could join this group for a bit of support. :) ↑
Hi ladies. I had my u/s done on Monday, it was really exciting. The lady could barely see the baby with the external u/s, so she did a vaginal one. It was a little less comfortable, but at least we got to see the baby. It's mearing 3mm and the hearbeat was only 101, but they said things were looking good. She said that because of the size, they are thinking the baby will be due on Feb 21, but will do another u/s in 2 weeks and compare to see how much the baby has grown because it might just be a small baby. I am bad at keeping secrets like this, so almost everybody knows. My boyfriend keeps asking when we can buy baby stuff and I don't know what to tell him because I don't want to jinx it because anything could happen, but I really do want to buy something. ↑
Monstera, WOW Twins?! Congratulations! My sweetie keeps making comments about twins... I just remind him that we don't get to choose. lol Anyways, good luck and keep us updated. Is this your first pregnancy? I was just curious because if not I was going to ask if you've noticed anything different.
Isabellasmommy, I wanted to wait too, not just so I didn't jinx it but because I didn't want to spend a lot of money and have tons of baby things around if something did happen. But this is my first and I think I'm stressing way too much. I'm crying myself to sleep a lot worrying about all the things that could go wrong. I've read all the horrible stories about miscarriages and I consider myself extremely informed, but because of that, I've been completely stressing out, so the other night I just decided I was gonna stop and just enjoy the pregnancy like no matter what there was going to be a baby here at the beginning of next year. I bought my first outfit that night and I was all teary eyed picking it out. It felt great. I've decided not to go around reading about all the things that 'could' happen and just live with the joy of having a little one growing inside me every day that I can. I mean, the statistics are actually in my favor of having a nice, healthy pregnancy. Did anyone else worry so much with their first pregnancy? ↑
jrcross: are you the same jcross from the May 07 mommies thread?! Sorry if thats a weird question Anyway, I too just found out I'm expecting in Feb 09. I have 14 month old right now. I havent been to the doctor yet but it seems like my due date will be right around the end of Feb. Havent been sick yet thank god, but just soooooooooooo tired. ↑
And Flybear- I worried a LOT my first pregnancy... not so much this time- i think probably because I am so busy chasing my son around there is no time to worry. ↑
Hi, it has been a while since I have been able to check in( stupid computer...lol). So I went to my u/s this past Monday and I saw and heard the heart beat. They also saw the fetal pole and yolk sac!!! Thank God! I had 2 m/c in 2007 and the first had no fetal pole or heart beat. Then the second m/c had a heart beat, fetal pole, but no yolk sac. My doc said when you see the heart beat chance of m/c drops to 10 % , but with my history she said I am not out of the woods. I have 2 kids and have no problem carrying the baby but more of the devolpment and this time I did zinc folic acid and baby asprin, prometrium, and prenatals while ttc. I really think it helped because the baby is forming perfect so far I even measured exactly at 6w 2d . The one thing that worries me is that I told the doc I was having very light cramping but almost like stretching and I knew this to be normal but she said with my history to up my prometrium to 3 times a day. Are any of you guys having any cramps? Well I just cant wait untill 12 weeks!!! But I am very happy that all is in place!!! Sorry so long but I needed to share ↑
How is everyone? I only have 6 more days till I have my first u/s and I'm so impatient and excited. So, I know most of us still have quite a while before we find out what we're having but has everyone been thinking of name? We had ours picked out before we even got pregnant but I think we've finally picked some middle names. Zoey Lynn and Evan Oliver. He wants a little girl so bad though that he's already calling the baby his little Zoey Bear. lol I remind him that it could be an Evan Bear. Anyways, Happy 4th of July everyone! ↑
Hi everyone. I'm 9 weeks now and definetally looking pregnant already. Finally caved in and ordered some maternity jeans. With twins apparently you can gain weight faster than with one baby. I'm picturing myself at 30 weeks looking as big as a moose...have to attach a slow moving sign to myself!!!! I like your names FlyBear. We were thinking of Jack for a boy and Hannah for a girl. Now we have to choose two more...make a couple of combinations. One of my combos was Jack & Evan. Thought it sounded nice together. Good luck everyone! ↑
Hello ladies. I hope each of you are feeling good tonight. I'm tired (as usual) and still cramping...but I've decided to call those cramps "growing pains", because well, that's really what they are anyway. haha I'm still having back aches, daily actually, only going away after a nice back rub. Are any of you bothered by back aches? I don't remember having them when I was pregnant with my daughter. I broke down yesterday and bought an outfit already. I don't know what it is, but being pregnant was real before I bought it, but after buying that little outfit made it more official. We've been thinking about names as well, for a boy we like Brayden and for a girl Arieann (air-e-ann). We haven't thought about middle names, we're still coming up with a small list of first names, but those are our favorites. How is everyone else feeling? ↑
Wow.. some of you have already started picking out names! That makes pregnancy so much more exciting, doesn't it?! My husband is very particular on the name thing, so we probably wont think of a name until the last minute. The sonographers dont reveal the babys sex here... so we'll really be scrambling. :) But it sounds like everyone is doing great.. and it is nice to see that some of you are already showing! I thought maybe I was just "hoping" I am already... but now that I read some of your posts, it makes me realize that it is true! Lol! I'm going on my 8th week and can hardly wait until the next 4 weeks go by... I wont be so paranoid about this pregnancy.. and hopefully it'll feel more "real". Lol! (Hopefully wont be so damn tired, too!) Glad to hear everyone is doing well. :) ↑
I've finally stopped worring as much and I'm just trying to enjoy the pregnancy. However, I'm 10w1d today and I'm having more nausea and stomach discomfort. I thought that would be getting lighter but for me it's getting a lot worse. Friday night I wanted to cry because I only got like 2hrs of sleep because I was uncomfortable, my stomach was cram...I mean having growing pains :) and I'm a stomach sleeper but when I lay on my stomachI feel like there's a little baseball or something under my stomach and it's just so uncomfortable so I'm having to find new ways to sleep. Uggg... It's all worth it but the nausea is starting to get to me. I'm having trouble eating again too because of it. Anyways, don't ranting. I feel better now. Good luck you guys and Smile, where do you live? You said where you are they don't tell you gender?! Just curious! ↑
We have names already too... Parker David for a boy, and Avery Joy for a girl. The girl name was what we would have named my son if he wasnt a boy... the boy name my hubby just randomly thought of before we were even pregnant this time, and I loved it. ↑
FlyBear I know exactly what you're talking about. I'm sleeping so badly now I've even moved into the spare bedroom. I'm hoping that'll calm down a bit. Our names for 2 boys are Jack & Luke, for two girls Hannah & Amy and for both sexes Hannah & Jack. Thursday I go back to the doctor to get the results of my bloodtests. I'm really hoping he'll do a u/s again because this time my husband's with me. Just a few more weeks for us all and we can move into the 2nd trimester! I'm pretty excited about that! ↑
wow, glad to know I'm not the only one who's starting to show already. I even thought about buying maternity jeans but I haven't broken down and done it... yet.... lol. I gave most of my maternity clothes to a friend who JUST had a baby about a week ago, so I'm hoping I'll be able to get some of them back from her. I went looking for shorts yesterday and they are all so damn SHORT! I look bad in those kind even when I'm NOT preggers, lol. Oh well. My nausea is getting a little better, and I'm starting to get some energy back. I'm just over 9 weeks today. ↑
Spamanda... I gave away all of my maternity clothes too! (And baby clothes too.. and the crib, bouncer, highchair etc., EVERYTHING!! ) Kind of kicking myself now! ↑
hello everyone i am due feb 17th! i am 8weeks today but am waiting for the midwife to contact me to have a dating scan as i lied to the doc and said i got my dates mixed up and didnt know how far along i am lol! ↑
Two more days and I go in for my first u/s. Geez... it feels like I've been waiting forever since my last visit but it's only been 3 weeks. Today I'm 10w3d. I think my nausea might finally be letting up a little. I hope! I am getting a little energy back but I still think I have a ways to go.
My best friend is coming to visit this weekend and we're going to go get our hair done. I'm super excited about that. I've been so nauseous and tired all the time lately that I've completely let it go and it's looking horrible these days. Then I figure, if everything goes as planned with the u/s thursday that we'll probably be shopping for a couple baby items too! :)
Monstera, we came up with another boy name, I think Evan is still the one we'll use if we have a boy but I really like this other... Liam Connor.
Is anyone else going crazy wondering what gender the baby is? It's killing me. I'm so excited! ↑
Smile, is there no where else you can go where they would tell you the gender? Wow, I think I would go crazy. I never realized how long 10 weeks seemed to be until recently. I have about 10 more weeks before I can find out and it feels like an eternity. I can't imagine having to wait any longer. ↑
