Lynn, Congrats on the little boy. I know so many people who are expecting boy's right now (including me)
I need your guy's thoughts. This might be TMI but I want to make sure I am not going crazy.
I feel like I have to go to the bathroom constently. This has been going on since Christmas. When I go, I cant go much, but I still feel like I have to go as soon as I am done. I have had UTI's before and usually they hurt, but this isn't painful at all. It is just super annoying because I feel like I am going to wet my pants 24/7. I am running to the bathroom every 20 minutes, and cant even go!!
I have a dr. appt next Wednesday. Should I hold off until then, or should I call them now? I hate being a worrier, but this is getting really annoying. Or, is it just part of pregnancy and I need to deal with it???
Thanks for your thoughts!!!
That is not normal. It could be a UTI. You can treat it at home or go into the dr.0 -
Mamatoabunch - How do I treat it at home? I would like to hold off until next week to go to the dr. if possible. My boss is in town right now, and I cant take off to head to the dr.0

Hi guys, I haven't posted for a few months as I had pretty bad nausea for a long while, but am very pleased to say I feel almost back to normal again
, only managed to eat v unhealthy stuff for a while but am getting back on track now. Hope it's OK to join in again?
I am 20 weeks today with my 4th baby, I have 3 sons already & am not quite sure what this one is yet although thankfully it seems healthy so far.
I am in the UK so get NHS maternity care but as my partner is away a lot we paid to have a private gender scan 2 weeks ago which told us another boy, we were thrilled- think I am a bit scared of having a girl as it would feel like a huge change in the family but obviously any baby is welcomed with love.
Well today I went for my 20 wk NHS scan & was told its a girl! A second sonographer checked & confirmed it is a girl too. To say I was shocked is an understatement. I called the private scan unit just to let them know there has been an error & they were great but said it was most likely the NHS who were wrong....they've asked me to go back later tonight & they will scan again in 3D to make sure. Beginning to wish I'd never tried to find out babys gender in the 1st place, sort of feel like i now want one of each LOL!
Hope everyone else is doing well & getting back on track after the festive season!0 -
Carina, sorry I only just read your post after I'd already posted.
Am so sorry to hear of your loss, for you and all of your family. God bless xxx0 -

Uva ursi tincture, cranberry juice, no sugar or 100% juice, cranberry tablets and tons of water. W/ uva ursi symptoms will be gone in 3 days or so, continue one extra day. I take a dropperful or two every three hours or so first day, spacing the droperfuls out the next day and third. Uva ursi is a wonder, absolute wonder!0 -
Hello ladies, I found this thread and would love to become a part of it! I'm in the Navy and was stationed away from my husband just shy of 2 years. I've returned to the states to be with him in Groton, CT. We agreed that once I returned home our focus was to have a baby. He already has a wonderful 4yr old girl and 7yr old boy. We were able to get them for the holidays and I amazed myself, my mother, and him. (those 10 days were the longest that I have every spent with any little kids).
I joined MFP to get to a healthy weight for a future pregnancy and to not have to worry about weight standards in the Navy. Now I am just sticking to it and waiting until my hubby returns from his underway period. Oh, I didn't mention that I am married to the military, my husband works on submarine so now that I returned he goes out to sea. Technically, I have until may TC if if doesn't happen then I'll have to wait until Nov.0 -
OMG!!!! YAY!!!
My name is Christy, i live in Hueytown Alabama......
My hubby and i have been TTC for 15 months now.....We have a daughter that i got preg with right away (but i was like 250LBS).....she is now 4 years old and we really really want another baby. SOOO, i am on clomid and doing the charting stuff...been doing that for 4 months.....i have determined that maybe my weight is also a problem (i weigh 320LBS) right now
I wanna get down to like 190LBS....I am right at 6' tall so i carry this weight pretty well, i guess...anyways, please add me as a friend, we can do this together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0 -
My name is Lindsay, my husband and I have been married for 3 years in June. We very much want to become pregnant this year, but we have made a weight loss goal our first step. We have been not so hard TTC for the last 17months, but no luck. Any tips or ideas anyone could share with me would be amazing! We are currently on a counting calorie healthy eating diet.0

I agree. My friend's daughter just had one and she said just rub someone's stomach. So last night while I was at the gym, there was this urge that I had to ask the woman next to me on the treadmill (she looked abour 3 or 4 months) if I can rub her stomach. I thought that would have be akward, :laugh: so I didn't.0 -
What seemed like the longest week EVER is finally over!
We went this morning for our ultrasound and....... 1 little baby......it's a boy! :bigsmile: So, no twins afterall. Not sure where the second heartbeat came from, but the US tech assured us, there is only one in there.
I was thinking ahead of time that I would be skeptical if they told us the sex today, but when I saw his "little guy" on the monitor, there was no denying it!
She calculated me to be 16 weeks 4 days, so about 3 days farther than I thought I was. She said he measured at 8 inches long. The books and things I've read say he should be about 5 inches, so that surprised me a little.
Getting to see him was the best birthday present I could have asked for!!
Ugh....now to do the not so fun birthday stuff, like renewing our license plates :grumble:
A single boy is wonderful! Congrats! The placenta or baby's HB can echo creating what appears to be two HB's. It isn't uncommon at all.0 -

Welcome! I had a harder time conceiving when 250+, I used herbs to help lengthen my short luteal phase. Good luck!0 -

Are you charting your cycle?0 -
Do any of you other first time moms (or when you were a first time mom) feel like you are now part of some "secret club" or something?
I had coworkers who I would say hello to and small talk with before, now they are always coming into my office and talkin baby talk! I'm sure before they just figured that since I didn't have any kids, I didn't want to hear about their kids. Now that I'm pregnant, I know so much more (sometimes too much :huh: ) about the people around me.
It's just funny that once I mention to anyone that I'm pregnant, a short meaningless conversation turns into a full blown sit-downer lol.0 -
Hey Ladies! Congrats on the baby boys (or girl) everyone! and welcome to the newcomers.
I just wanted to say today when I got home from work, I felt like I had never been so tired in my life. I was feeling a little sorry for myself and then I thought about all YOU amazing women who feel like this at work and come home to take care of other children! WOW. You guys are amazing. No one tells you that enough. I can't imagine having to think of someone besides myself and my two pups right now (the hubby can think for himself ;D)0 -

Thanks for your thoughts!!!
You know that was the sensation I had when I was in labor. It didn't hurt. I just had this urge to pee, I'd go in there and nothing would really happen.
But it does sound more like a UTI, you can go to an after hours clinic for that, you just pee in a cup and they give you the antibiotic for it, there is only one they give preggos for. I took it early on. but like you I have no pain with UTI's so that might be what it is.0 -

That's normal. It's because people remember what it's like to have new babies and be pregnant. Kind of nostalgic. I wouldn't say its a secret club, if so there are some member's cards I want revoked. LOL:laugh:0 -

I would be careful at the gym, she might have just been "bigger" if you know what i mean:blushing: . I go to the gym 5 days a week and I feel like just now I'm showing and not just fat. I'm 7 months.0 -

Yeah, but the bad part is - I don't care about their kids and don't want to hear about it! :laugh: :laugh:0 -
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. reading your words helps me heal.
Thank you for those who shared your loss too. It is comforting to know, that i'm not the only one. *hugs*
You all are wonderful. *hugs* thanks
I am so sorry. Big ((hugs))0 -

Reading between the lines I know exactly what you mean, I actually avoid asking people because of that. But the woman at the gym was small and the only bulge was her tummy. I think it was a safe assumption, but I wouldn't rub anyone's stomach anyway. I really believe in personal space. I think I'm just in that moment where I know what I really want and mad at myself for putting my job first 2 years ago.0 -

I would call the doctor and go in. That is not normal and the doctor always asks about that kind of stuff. You may have a
UTI or even a bladder infection. Better safe and sure than sorry.0 -

Congrats on your boy!!! Im only about a wk behind you ( 15 wks) ...so now I wanna KNOW!! Being pregnant has made me much closer to my mom. We never had much to talk about before...now we have tons..its nice!0 -

It is pretty much just that, a secret club. People you know want to talk to you now, just wait til you get further along and random people in public start talking to you and it is even more so once the baby is born. I used to be really shy but after #1 I have learned to converse with random strangers. People love pregnant people and babies. They start leaving you alone when the baby is like 1. Enjoy it though because as you see pregnant women and newborns you will start talking to them too. I think it just happens.0 -

Wait til the baby is born, you will hear lots about everything from everyone. My mom still tries to tell me things and this is my third baby, she only had two. My MIL also tries to give me her advice, she had four though so she took the prize. My husband and I are of different cultures, I am caucasian and he is hispanic so our moms have very different solutions for everything and ofcourse everyone thinks they have the right answer for everything. Oh boy, I am not ready for the unsolicited advice from everyone once the princess arrives.0 -

My husband and I were talking about this last night. He said it's starting to scare him about having kids, all of the problems his co-workers are having with their 11 year old daughters. Poor guy 0 -

Are you leaning forward while trying to urinate? Sometimes the baby sits right on the bladder/urethra making it difficult to go. If that doesn't make a big difference (it made a huge one for me) Then I would definitely call. It is better to bug them (that's what the big bucks are for) than to be extrememly miserable.0 -

Congrats on your little boy. Sure seems to be a lot of them with this group
I haven't caught up on the posts yet so maybe someone said this already. The 5 inches would be normal crown to rump length for 16 weeks gestational age and the 8 inches the tech said your little guy was she most likely measured crown to heel.
Congratulations again!0 -
Mamatoabunch - How do I treat it at home? I would like to hold off until next week to go to the dr. if possible. My boss is in town right now, and I cant take off to head to the dr.
Uva ursi tincture, cranberry juice, no sugar or 100% juice, cranberry tablets and tons of water. W/ uva ursi symptoms will be gone in 3 days or so, continue one extra day.

Everywhere I have looked says that uva ursi tincture shouldn't be used in pregnancy.0 -

It depends, but so do many drugs. It is a preference, another option, especially if out of first trimester. It can cause mild uterine contraxs. It is the only thing that works for my UTI's, antibiotics won't get it all, w/ the UTI symptoms resuming after completion of antibiotics. I have used it under the advice of my first and second midwife.0
