So my Dr's office called and said they have to cancel my appointment today because my Dr. is stuck in Florida, and cant get back due to the snow storm. They want to reschedule with a midwife. I haven't actually seen my Dr in 3 months. The last 2 appointments had to be re-secheduled because he wasn't available/was in…

Weighed in yesterday, and I am up 12 lbs in 24 weeks. That is a bit frightening to me, and I really need to slow this weight gain down! It is weird though, because I honestly am eatting less and probably better than I was before I got prego. We have decided that it will be just hubby and I in the delivery room. My family…

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.

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…

Carina- I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I got the "was it planned" question too. But the best comment I have gotten so far, was yesterday. I walked into work after being gone for the holidays, and my co-worker said "WOW, you finally look pregnant and not just fat. I was wondering when the pregnancy would overtake the fat." :noway: I was like...gee...thanks, I…

I will try to answer a few of the questions: My in-laws are from Pakistan. They moved to the US when my husband was 4, and have been here for 23 years. They seem to forget they live here sometimes. The name we picked is Ethan. We aren't sure of the middle name as we were going to use my Husband's brothers name, as his…

Well it has been a crazy weekend for me. My parents, and my in-laws and brother-in-law all came in for my husbands graduate school graduation. After graduation we went to dinner, and opened the envelope that had the gender written in it. ITS A BOY, and we announced the name we picked out!!!! When we got home, my in-laws…

I was going to wait until 12 weeks, but at 9 weeks we heard the babies heart beat, and I felt comfortable telling everyone. I didn't have a lot of MS, so it wasn't as hard not telling everyone. Although my male boss did say that he suspected somthing when I always had a ginger ale and saltines on my desk. I told my boss on…

I didn't do the quad screen either. I just figured it wasn't worth worry about, since I would never elect to terminate anyway. I only get one ultrasound, which was at 19 weeks. The baby is moving a TON. It is crazy how active it is, and the ultrasound lady said that she has been doing it for years, and has never seen one…

Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

I had a similar problem. I lost about 20 lbs before getting prego. As soon as I did get pregnant, french fries and bagels were the only things that sounded good, and stayed down. I did eat them because since they were the only thing that stayed down, and I figured I was better off getting some not so great calories than…

My anatomy scan is tomorrow morning at 8:45. It seems like I have been waiting FOREVER. If all goes well, we will have them put a note with the gender in an envolope and open it on the 19th when our families fly in for my husbands graduation from Grad School. I have been secretly studying up on how to read an ultrasound…

Funny you should ask. I had a total crying melt down about maternity clothes this morning. I bought a pair of pants at Kohls and 2 pair at JCPenny. The mistake I made was buying them when I was 12 weeks, just in case one day I woke up and needed them. They felt comfy then, but now that I have a bit of a bump, the band on…

:blushing: Well, today I decided I better switch full time to wearing maternity pants. I made that decision when the button popped off my regular pants while I was standing in my managers office. How embarassing!:blushing:

LittleSpy- This may sound gross, and totally unhealthy, but honestly this is the only thing I can find that helps. Once a week I eat something greasy, usually we order a pizza or i get some Wendy's french fries. The grease seems to keep things moving for about a week. I notice if I have gone more than a week and a half…

mamarandall - If you aren't having any spotting, you should be ok. I have had menstrual like cramps every day since I got prego, and I am at 18 weeks now. My doctor said it is completely normal, and that I shouldn't worry. AnneElise - Welcome to the group, I am so happy you got a BFP!!!!!!! I am up a total of 4 lbs at…

Wow, I feel like I have missed a lot, I guess I have some catching up to do. I did get a flu shot, just to be on the safe side. I have never gotten it before, but the thought of dealing with having the flu and being prego at the same time just sounded horrible to me:noway: Is anyone having trouble eatting. I am really…

Yeah!!!! I am so happy for you! Welcome to the group. You will learn a ton from this group of ladies. Mwilson - Congrats on the little girl! Isn't it funny how you just had a feeling, and you were right. I am anxious to see if my feelings are right. I didn't gain anything this week, so I am happy with that. My goal this…

I will have only one ultrasound the entire time, unless there are issues down the road they want to check on. The one I will have is the anatomy scan which is done around 22 weeks. As far as insurance, I pay the first $1500 and then the insurance company pays 80% and I pay 20%, until I have paid $4000 out of pocket. Then…

Just wanted to drop in! You all are doing so well keeping fit, and getting your bodies ready for a baby. I cant wait to have some of you transfer over to the Prego board! We need some company over there! Keep it up, and in no time you will get the BFP!!!

Well, I had the dreaded moment I knew was comming. I got on the scale this morning and am up 2 lbs from last week:sad: I am really really really having a hard time accepting the weight gain, even though I know I need to gain some for the baby to be healthy, it is so hard to get the weight loss mentality out of your brain.…

This is going to sound totaly stupid, but after we got done dancing, I put 2 pillows under my tushy to help the little guys know which way to swim. I know that there is NO science behind it what so ever....but at least you would have a funny story to tell if you got a BFP that month:laugh:

Congrats to everyone who has found out the gender. I have to wait until late December to find out. The doc said they like to wait until 22-24 weeks......ugggg. It is SO hard to wait. I weighed in this morning, and am up 1/2 lb since getting pregnant. Hopefully I can keep going at this pace for a while!!!

Interesting, I was the same way. My husband came home at 10:30pm from school, and I hadn't moved off the couch since he left at 4pm. He started talking to me and I just put a pillow over my head and moaned!!! Mine is still hanging around, but not nearly as bad. I am 100% sure that mine isn't bloodpreasure related because…

I love that so many newbies have joined the group. Welcome to everyone! I had my second Dr. appt yesterday and got to hear the heartbeat. They said everything was right on track, and so far I have gained 1/2 lb. I hope to really keep the weight gain in check, but I need to start logging food again, and I need to get…

Yessie - Welcome back, and your little angel is adorable! Congratulations for doing it all natural. I always thought that wasn't for me, until I learned last night that my mom did it with both me and my brother. I feel like if she can do it, I can do it!! SO, any tips you have are more than welcome. jalara- I haven't taken…

Cali- Thanks for the suggestions on clothes! It is too funny because this morning I ordered a pair of pants from both Target (liz Lang) and JC Penny (Duo). You just reassured me that I am on the right track!!!

Welcome to all the newbies!@ Mwilson - I am so glad to hear you are in the same boat as me. I have droped a few lbs the past few days, and was a bit worried. I also have been getting hungry, and then take two bites, and want to throw up I feel so full. So I guess since the two of us are in simmilar stages, and having the…

I have a question for you ladies: I am almost 11 weeks, and I feel like I could possibly start wearing maternity pants soon. I mentioned this to my mom, and she was in shock. She said I shouldn't start showing and needing maternity pants until at least Christmas (that would put me at 22 weeks). I feel like she thinks I am…
