Anyone feeling movement yet? I 'm a couple days beyond 14 weeks and have felt definate movement (not gas) for almost a week now. Last week was just tiny little flutters, this morning I just had a nudge so exciting. I knew everyone told me I'd feel movement earlier as this is 3rd baby 4th pregnancy, but was starting to have my doubts. Plus when I went to the Dr last week, and heard the heartbeat with the doppler; the Dr literally had the chase the baby around with the doppler to keep up. YAY!!

Exciting! I am 18 weeks, and started feeling mine around 12-13 weeks (this is 5th pregnancy, 3rd one to go into second tri). And it is definitely reassuring when the doc has to chase the baby around!

Hi Girls,.
I'm just joining Fit fab & Preggers. I was with mfp for a few months lots a little weight and then found out i was pregnant.
In my 1st trimester i was so ill that i thought to hell with it, if all i can manage to eat is pie... well then pie it is.

So i've made it through the 1st trimester ive had my fill of pie and now the fear of fatty mc fatty have set in, so was delighted to
find this group to keep me on the straight and narrow.

I've an appointment with the midwives tomorrow, so will get to hear the spuds heartbeat. I have to wait until week 21 for a scann. but will probably pay for one before.

Re:"Lovins" i think i'm wanting it more than he is, but then he might be a bit protective of me, its our first.

I had to chuckle a bit at this- I love knowing that I am not alone. Not that pregnancy should be an excuse for poor eating habits, BUT- Before I became pregnant, I ate a clean vegetarian diet most of the time. But when I got pregnant, I was plagued with horrible migraines and cluster headaches for days. When that subsided, I got morning sickness and fatigue... at that point, I was so miserable and my husband was doing what he could, I just said, "I don't care. I am going to eat this cheeseburger. I am not cooking, its the only thing that sounds remotely appealing, so there." At some point I guess you just have to do what you have to do. I am sure there are women who are awesome and stick with their great diets even through the mess of the first trimester. But some of us just weren't quite prepared. So now that you've had your fill of pie, and I'll be happy to never look at a cheeseburger, we can move forward. So WELCOME and CONGRATULATIONS! If you need a pregnant buddy to encourage you along the way, feel free to add me!

Cheapest place for us to buy diapers was Sam's, Costco or BJ's...their brand or even the name brand is cheaper there than anywhere else we could find. Plus it was nice not to have to go to the store every week for diapers. When you're buying 200 at a time they last over a month

Also, does anyone know where the best place is to buy diapers? Babies r' us has a V.I.B. card that if you put $ on it you get 10% extra toward diapers, but do they already pretty much charge 10% more than most places?

I find that BRU charges more on a lot of things, so I've never bothered to buy anything like diapers there. The only things I buy there are things I can't get anywhere else or where the price is the same as elsewhere and it's the most convenient way to buy.

I buy Huggies (Snug 'n Dry) at Costco, and I stock up when they're on sale there. I've tried the Kirkland (Costco) brand, which resembles Huggies Little Movers (the more expensive Huggies), and I didn't like them. They leaked horribly, and the little absorbent beads got EVERYWHERE. Some people swear by them, though. The good thing about Costco is that they are awesome about returns, so they took back the rest of the box (I had used maybe five or six diapers to give it a real shot) and gave me my money back.

I buy overnight diapers (Huggies also) at Amazon on Subscribe & Save. Overnights are just really expensive, but that's the best price I could get. My son pees so much during the night that I had no choice but to use these.

The other brand I like is Up & Up (Target). The prices are pretty reasonable, especially if they are on sale and/or you have a coupon. There is usually a coupon for your next box in the bottom of the box, too I have not had any problem with them, but my SIL said for her daughter she likes them but didn't like that if there was poop and pee, they leaked. However, at the time she had just switched to them and her daughter was having a major diarrhea issue, which is almost always going to cause leaks, regardless of what brand you use. Once when I was at Target buying them, I ran into a friend who has twins. She saw the box in my cart and told me she went through a lot of diapers and thought they were the best value!

The other generic I like is Publix brand, which I've bought in a pinch. The only caveat is that if it gets really full, pee starts to leak out the legs, so you really have to be sure that you change them often enough (e.g., be careful if, say, you're taking a long car trip).

ETA that duh, I know you don't live near Publix, so you can ignore that part... but perhaps it will help someone else!

With regard to diapers, whatever brand you use (assuming you go with a name brand), be sure to sign up for their points things. I get Huggies points on diapers and wipes, and I have accumulated a ton. For a while I was able to redeem them for coupons for free diapers, so I've gotten quite a few boxes of free diapers that way. They stopped that, but there are other goodies, too, like baby gear, toys, Kleen Kanteen stuff, etc., that you can use the points for, and/or you can donate points to provide diapers to those in need.

Week 15 here! This is my first baby. Needless to say I am so excited, yet scared to death all at the same time! lol

Hey ladies i wanted to let you all know that if you are in need of a crib WALMART.COM daily deals has a nice 4 in 1 crib on sale with the mattress fpr $139.00 and only .97 cent shipping! Every crib that is 4 in 1 that I have seen has been at least 400 bucks. i ordered one yesterday. It is on there again today so if you are in need of a crib and mattress check it out it is also available in 3 different colors.

Welcome Anastacia, this is our first as well. it's so exciting but yes, scary as well! That's what's great about this group, we help eachother out!

Re: diapers. I think I might take advantage of the pampers promo (assuming our BRU is participating, I need to call and make sure) I compared them at BRU and Target and they are just about the same price plus with the VIB card that's also and extra 10% off, so 10% off and a 35 dollar gift card, I think that makes it worth it! I guess we'll see. I'm not sure where the nearest costco is. I wish my area was more condusive to bulk shopping, but I guess there's a bj's not too far away so it might be worth it to get a membership once we move and have room to store some bulk items.

Had a little scare last night. I hadn't been feeling much movement yesterday then I woke up in the middle of the night with the WORST cramps ever in my life and the runs. Anyway, long and gross story short and not so gross, I thought I might be going into early labor or something was greatly wrong, I then proceeded to have the weirdest bm ever (who knew you could be constipated and have diharria?) and felt quite a bit better. Woke up again with more cramps but feeling a lot better and baby is moving around today, so I guess all is well with baby girl.

Eek! Sounds like indigestion/diarrhea. Glad you got it out and felt better, though, plus you've got a wiggly baby :happy: That's always a good sign!

Heidi! That's crazy! So excited for you! Are you a May Due Date? We have a May 2013 thread on here as well and we are pretty talkative ladies so feel free to pop in to that thread as well. Congrats on your surprise sneaky ninja baby!
