Wanda, I am 27 weeks preg with #2 and know exactly what you are going through. I have already begun to walk funny and simply standing feels like gravity is pulling this child from me. Not sure how common this is but I think there are many women like us! I hope. Good luck.

I was 14 weeks yesterday, and since last night have had a dull ache in my lower back and belly. We only found out a week ago that we were 3 months because my doctor and I thought I had had a miscarriage at 7 weeks! We are delighted, but every little ache and pain scares me now.

I am 24 weeks pregnant and this is my third child. I am not as big as I was with my boys, but I ache all over. The pelvic pressure is awful and I feel pains in the muscles around that area. I feel like I am carrying a 10 pound baby already! I am getting nervous because I feel this badly already. I have only gained about 17 pounds so far but I can honestly say this baby is taking all of the strength I have to get out of bed, to work and back. Does anyone else feel this way?

I am about nine weeks and I feel like I am constantly a week away from catching the stomach flu....nothing too bad. I am always hungry and tired. It seems like the couch in front of the TV has become my new home. My breasts are also very sore. This is my first baby and I am really excited and cannot wait to show!

To those of you complaining of itching.....I am 13 weeks and have had few symptoms as far as morning sickness/discomfort, but I have had a terrible rash. It started on my upper arms and now is all over my arms and legs. The rash started at about four weeks. I have gone to a general practitioner and a dermatologist. Both had the same diagnosis....keratosis pilarius. It is a type of psoriasis that is very common and hereditary. Most people are born with it. However, I just developed it during pregnancy. There's really no cure....I just apply a lot of intensive lotion many times a day.

I find that the bottom of my feet are red like I stepped in red dye.
