Pregnancy Info HOME

Daniella- I am pain just reading your story! But you are a tough cookie! Tomorrow is officially 12 weeks for me. I thought the naseau was over but yesterday I woke up at 4 am sick and finally fell back to sleep at 6, overslept, and as I was leaning over the sink after brushing my teetch I just kept heaving bile and dry heaves. Such fun. The sickest part? AFTer I called work to say I would be late and get coverage ( the heaving & clean up set me back a good 15 mins. and I was already pushing the enveelope with time) i had this ENORMOUS craving for - a HOT DOG! I swear my kid is going to be as nuts as his/her mother! LOL! Had major craving for beef at lunch time (it went well with the battery acid after taste) and again today - had a hamburger for lunch! I go from puking or can't eat anything to wanting to stuff my face, and I stil can't eta any veggies except tomatoes (crave them), red and green peppers and starchy things like corn. Okay - it has been crazy around here because my mom is in the hospital recovering from knee surgery and the day after her surgery my dad went inot another hospital for what we think is food poisoning - they are still doing tests! Shesh? My brother flew down to help out, my other brother is flying down when he leaves, and then mys ister after him. My mom was like - don't you dare coem down and I was like, actually I can't get the time off anyway! Still I feel like the creep who didn't do anything. Okay - Tara - about exercising - just don't start anything new, and keep things moderate - no overheating or high impact aerobics that get your pulse racing. Otherwise everything stays the same. Dawn - ooh! I have to tell my friend about your nephew. WOw CHristie - I had soething like six or seven I thought that was a lot - 16! But it will be nice to get some answers finally. Bee - where is that baby?

Coda - that is so neat that you and your twin will be together for your birtday. WHen is the exact date again?

CHRISTIE - I think you are right. Soon we will have to change the name of this forum to something about babies babies babies :-) We can only hope that all of us will be pregnant soon. HELENE -- Sounds like you are having some intersting cravings. My mom craved sour kraut when she was pregnant with me - How odd. Do not think it was even something she would normally eat or have a taste for. Too bad you can not eat veggies - they are so good for you and full of vitamins. Maybe that will change soon now that you have hit 12 weeks. So I thought a/f was done yesterday - nope - came back with some cramps and clotting last night afterall. I really think that wearing tampons slows down the flow and makes it last longer. BUT, I has an accident on Tuesday when I just had on a pad and had to run home and change - frustrating. Aunt Flow is such a pain in the butt. Ha Ha! It is rainy, windy and cold here today and will be all weekend. What a drag. Hope all are well. Dawn

Hi, Dawn! Yeah, the weather is the same here and we expect the same garbage for the weekend. AS for the hot dof cravings - I have had one almost everyday this week, so I guess I was needing some red meat! ha,ha! Today was pretty good in terms of nasuea - strated with almost none. But I think it is because I forgot to take my prenatal vitamin last night. I woke up at 5 and remembered, but didn't take it because i knew that I was too close to getting up and in the morning it makes me naseous, which is why I take it before bed. Had a very easy day at work as the 8th grade was on a trip and they left meof the list of chaperones and off the list of peopel to cover clases - how is that for dumb luck? Doesn't usually happen to me. I just hung out in my classroom and did work all day except for one period which is my 7th graders (and they had a test, which was easy). But even with such an easy day, I was still exhausted when I got to that one class! Too funny! Have a great wekend!

Oh yeah - had a grilled portabella mushroom and mozzarella panini for lunch and no heartburn or nasea so was very excited to get a new veggie down! Also had french opnion soup (onions are the good list!) so was happy to get some veggies in while I could! I know doc said not to worry right now, but I will feel better wehn I can stomach the rest of the veggie family again! Dawn - that stinks that a/f came back - I have had that happen, although rarely, but it is really aggravating.

___A Newborn's Conversation with God___ ~~A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you." The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy." God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?" God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak." "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?" God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life." "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore." God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name." God said, "You will simply call her, "Mom."

To all of you ladies who have kids
Happy Mother's Day!!!!!
To all who are trying
Happy Soon to be mothers day.
I hope everyone has a good weekend.

HELENE - Nice to hear from you. Yeah, a/f came back but only for a brief appearance. She was gone by Friday and overall was very light. Only 5 days. I am excited for this month and trying again. Next week at this time should be prime time :-) Glad to hear you have been getting some food down. I hope you will be feeling much better soon on the eating/nauseous front. My sister in law had it BAD for the first 16-17 weeks. The good thing though - she had two perfect and healthy babies :-) DANIELLA - I love the thing you shared in your last post. So sweet for mothers day. Look - you are a MOM NOW! Amazing. We took my MIL to lunch yesterday and I told my DH how maybe next year he will be taking ME out for Mothers Day :-) Man I hope so ..... Dawn

Hi ladies, I hope everyone had a wonderful mothers day. Remember we are all mommies even if our babies are in heaven. my hubby and kids gave me some beautiful roses and my daughter made me lots of crafts. Were not telling our kids yet about the pregnancy, but my hubby gave me money to rent a doppler when Im ten weeks(just praying I make it ). Doctor phoned and said my Hcg levels are double103 last monday and 342 on Wednesday. I will be booked in for an ultrasound in 2-3 weeks to check dates. My main symptoms are hungrey WOW! can I eat and my breasts are sore still off and on, no nausea yet. Daniella, that was beautiful! Dawn Im praying for a bfp for you this month. Take care everyone!

Tara- that is wonderful!! My HCG was 134 one day and 2 days later it was 370. So, yours sound about the same and on the right track. :) whoohoo!! Do they have you on any supplements?? ___Dawn- got your card yesterday. Thank you so much!! Very very nice!! It definitely made my day. :) Also, your hubby is a good looking man. hehe!!! :) Nice!! Thanks!!!!

By NO means am I trying to RAIN ON ANYONES parade, but, Mother's Day depressed the HECK outta me! Anywhere you go, people assume, I guess, you may be a Mother. And, I got a few "Happy Mother's Days" not only that but, celebrating with the in-laws half of the family consisted of talking about how horrible and uncomfortable pregnancy was(there are a couple of new mothers) ummm, I WISH! and the cutest little, chubbiest almost 1 year old boy that would go to anyone including myself (I made him giggle and played with for quite some time) that my MIL couldn't help but say what I was thinking "this baby belongs in our family, this is what your little boy will look like" It was just kind of a depressing weekend, thinking I would probably be celebrating right now with our first child or be 6 months pregnant with our son. I don't mean to take away from everyones celebration, but, I had to vent. Hope you don't mind. Daniella, I loved your poem I copied anpasted to my Mom and some close friends and family. Good luck to all..

Daniella, Im not on any supplements. Our last baby had Turners and I think the doctor is monitoring Hcg levels to make sure there normal. Im not for sure, but when i had the maternal screening at 16 weeks with my daughter Treya(turners syndrome ) my hcg was really high above normal and another hormone was really low. They first told me I tested positive (1-25) for downs syndrome. I think this time thier just really watching for chromosome abnormalities.I get a 3 D ultrasound and can have an amnio if I want it. Im not going to risk this baby with an amnio. Thanks for the info on your hcg levels they sound fairly close.My ultrasound is booked June 1. Christi, Im so sorry that mothers day was depressing. It really is reminder to some of us the little ones that we are missing .Lots of prayers for you! This whole spring has really got me down. My daughter Treya would have been born on April 17 and I hate looking at all the cute baby clothes and thinking where I would be, or how excited my daughter would be to have a little baby sister. I started a jar to put in my thoughts and things I would like to say to my daughter Treya. Im really trying to keep her memory alive.I had pictures done of my children and put a angel teddy bear in beside them to represent our daughter Treya.

Tara~ It wasn't severely depressing...I just have been having a hard time dealing with my dh and going to the specialist and going fwd with testing and not gettin AF. I have been real moody lately...my dh is paying the price. If I do not get Af by fri i wil go to get a bloodtest at the specialist office on fri...if i do, then I will go for a saline u/s on day 6 of my cycle...it just goes on and on, an my dh just doesn't understand...anyway, I'm sorry, I just had a glass of wine!
