Criss it might be a boy in there since yr butt is growing loll or maybe 2
Yeh, everywhere I go, people keep asking me if I'm having twins even when I haven't told them how far along I am. And those that I do tell or just text a picture of me, say that they think it's multiples. It's exciting and scarey. At this point, with my nausea and weight gain, it better be twins or I might be adopting after this!
As doula said, you should start walking. It will even help you have a smoother delivery.
Hi girls.
I am just catching up on your posts,I was reading another thread today :
https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/pregna...-273967-6.html
I am going through something very similar to this,I am relieved to find others going through same/simular.
I took a pregnancy test a month ago and got a faint positive.
Then tests after that,they were nedative.. but! I have had lots of pregnancy symptoms,even when I have tried to ignore them and focuus on other things.
I was very surprised when I started bleeding at period time,though at same time I know deep down I am pregnant,and really I am a realist,if I wasn't pregnant,I would accept it and move on.. this has me in quite a crazy situation.
I had a period ,or bleeding,my first few months of being pregnant with my son.. though I didn't suspect pregnancy then.
So just looking for someone to understand really...
My symptoms:
* nausea every morning and evening
* very fussy with foods
* lower back ache
* breasts swollen
* for 3 weeks had cramps /uterus tilting
* tiredness
Now normally at period time,I just start my period with hardly any problems.. I am very lukcy like that.
Thanks for your support..
Hi mummy... you may want to ask your gp about having a blood test done. Let them know about the earlier positive, however faint... and the fact that you still had bleeding in the early months with your son.
Sometimes an early positive becomes a negative on later urine tests if the pregnancy didn't take, but a quantitative blood test would let you know for sure. Fingers crossed for you... if not now, then very soon!
Guyssssssssssssssss I think I made it... thx for everyone support am going to the hospital tomorrow to confirm it... the second line indeed showed up under a minuteee... I want to say a special thanks to crissdy I dreamed a week before tha she was next to me when I got my bfp.. am soooooooo happy right so is my husband
Oh that is fantastic news,congratulations (((hugs))) xxx
Wonderful news!! Wishing you a smooth and enjoyable pregnancy... :)
Wow, I guess 2009 is the year of the baby. I'd have had mines in January if he didn't come early.
I great to hear that everyone dreams are commimng true and I know your would make a great mother and doesn't it seems like the wait was well worth it?
Now you can get prepare for the sleepless nights your going get but it's still fun and when they smile at you it is all worth it.
Crissy twins, can you imagine.
Kpangor, congratulations and you get to join the bunch.
Southeengalps, I know you can't wait until your little one arrives.
I think a toast is in order without the alcohol. What about apple juice instead.
That sounds nice! :)Quote:

Sciatica During Pregnancy

Not too early at all... the changes in hormones can be attributed to early back, hip, pelvic, and leg pain.Quote:

For now, start watching your posture so that you get into good habits... as you get larger it is easy to start to sway your back and put more pressure on your lower back. Pregnancy massages or even just back rubs can be wonderful. Appying counter pressure to your hip area will likely also feel good. Some women find seeing a chiropractor, who works with pregnant women, to be helpful later in pregnancy, but often throughout... can be useful in avoiding a breech position later in pregnancy as well.
I am so exited and grateful to be pregnant,thanmkyou God,bless each and everyone of us :)love to all xx
Kpag, no kicks... just some flutters. I've had lower back pain too and when I sit, I feel like my stomach is being crunched and I keep arching my back to stretch it out cause it's just sooooooooooo tight.
I'm seeing a NP on Tuesday, so I'm excited to get an exam, blood work, another sonogram, etc. I will let you know how it goes. Hopefully they'll see two babies and take the mystery out of this already growing belly when I'm only supposed to be 10 weeks.
So far, all is well, except all day sickness and random vomiting. If I could conquer that, I'd be much more excited.
I looked six months pregnant when I was 8 weeks, honestly, and there was only one baby. Some women just expand faster than others, so don't worry.
Eat lots of crackers and make sure to get enough water and other liquids. Small meals, or snacks work best if your nauseous.
Good luck, and once again, congrats, this is an exciting time, treasure every minute. :)
Altenweg, that's what people tell me... "Enjoy it!" What exactly does that mean?
I've done almost everything they say to stop the nausea but things only provide temporary solutions (10minutes to 1 hour, max.) and then I'm sick all over again. The only thing I haven't tried is ginger and accupuncture. I'm going to buy some ginger tea and see if that helps. I can't even drink water anymore, it feels like toxins are being stirred in my belly and I feel like I'm going to vomit or have an accident on myself. I'm bound to milk, juice, and ice chips. If I drink soda... rootbeer, sprite, ginger ale... It provides some relief, but later I get the runs. It's terrible! Sorry for the blunt words.
Some nights, all I eat are crackers and apple sauce or grilled cheese sandwiches. I never know how my stomach is going to react to food... sometimes it's relief and sometimes its like a bomb.
I'm much more excited about the babies than I am about this pregnancy. So far, it's been a lot of drama for me. Argh!
Oh, and one last thing, is it part of some Women's code to say you love being pregnant and that you're happy and excited all the time? Everyone, please answer that for me. Cause honestly, I am not! I hate being pregnant and see why I once thought, "When I start a family, I'm using a surrogate." My poor little body is under distress and it affects everything, including my mood and myself esteem. AHHHHHHHHHHH! I feel like I'm trapped on a roller coaster for 9 months and I don't know when it's dropping or when it's going back to the top, and I sure feel like the end is not in sight. Please don't misunderstand, I am grateful for this blessing from God. I am just saying that it's a lot of work and sacrifice on my part and I'm just not going to pretend like it's flowers and daisies and skipping in the sunset. I feel and look like a buffalo and could care less if I eat or take those nasty horse-pill vitamins. I do it only for my babies, because they need me to be strong. But some days, I wake up and think, "Lord, again!?!" If I could get real symptom relief, my spirits would be higher.
Pregnancy is different for everyone, some women enjoy every minute, others count down the seconds for it to end.
I had both. My first pregnancy was a breeze, no morning sickness, not many mood swings, loved everything about it. The first time I felt the baby move was the happiest day of my life. I admit that by the 8th month, I was done. I gained 80 pounds, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't see my toes, I had been wearing the same clothes for weeks because I didn't want to spend money on more pregnant clohthes. All in all, I was miserable that last month, but it was worth it.
My second pregnancy I developed an esophogial hernia. Everything I ate came back up. Regardless, I still gained 80 pounds, I had viscious leg cramps, back pains, water retention, you name it. I couldn't wait for the baby to come out.
You're only 10 weeks pregnant, that's usually the worst time in your pregnancy. Most women start to feel better in their second trimester, so give it some time. You have a long way to go, get your rest, eat what you can, take your prenatal vitamins and make sure you get to your doctors appointments. It doesn't last forever, but you have at least another 30 weeks to go, so try and enjoy some parts of it. :)
Good luck.
Thanks Altenweg, I'll jump off my soapbox, take my tail from between my legs and hope for the best in just 4 weeks!
Exactly, that's the spirit. :)
Woo criss you not alone about the water thingy it just taste so weirdddd but I drink it in order to conquer my constipation[cause I get stomach sick when am constipated] but I heard gatorade is good also... I feel you criss am happy too being pregnant so far the worst part is the uncomfortable feeling I get on my right side it doesn't hurt its just a sensation like I can feel my right hip bone just strange so I just sleep on my left side all the time and try to stand up straight all the time.. good luck to us!!
Kpag-Yeh, I hear about constipation, but I'm having the opposite problem. My frequent urination is only during the night and my frequent bowels are throughout the day. It's rather interesting. Anywhoo, do some stretches and those good ol' Jane Fonda leg exercises to prevent sciatica, pain, and aches.
Yeah I feel better now I started to do a lot of exercise but mild ones lollll today I felt this weirdest sensation 2 inches on the left side of my belly button just can't describe its like fluters but difrent and stranger after I ate.. wow didn't know pregnancy was like tha you feel every little thing going on loll
Yeh, I've been feeling flutters for weeks... mostly on my right, but also on my left in the same spot every time. People say it's too early, but some people are just more in tune with their bodies than others. The baby is actually moving and growing very early on and if you are sensitive to your body, then you will feel a little something. I think it is awesome to feel this because it's like God reassuring you that the baby is growing and doing fine.
Yeah very true crissdy and have fun on your appointment today still very excted about pregnancy.. wouhoooo
Ok, everyone, so I finally got to a doctor. They put me on meds because I was getting really dehydrated and couldn't keep fluids or foods down. (1 trip to the hospital and almost falling of off the doctors table because of dehydration dizziness was enough to convince me.)
It was sooooooo amazing watching the baby kick and punch and curl into a ball. I mean, the hubby and I couldn't stop staring and smiling at the screen and that little flicker of a heart beat. So precious! 157! Fast as lightening! Praise God for a viable pregnancy!
Thank you all for going on this journey to the bfp with me! Turns out that I am 11 weeks, so I got pregnant in November, and not in October like I thought. So, amazingly, all those symptoms and such were what I call my "spiritual pregnancy" because the very next month, after talking to God about my future, I got pregnant with 1 day of unprotected sex during my ovulation time (didn't know it was my ovulation time at the time we decided to go unprotected.) God is so amazing! He speaks loud and clear!
Cool criss god bless.. hmmm it seems like u going to have a boy.. my appoint isn't till jan 28 huh just can't wait lolll I'll be 9 weeks then
Awesome! Let us know how it goes. Oh, I am so looking forward to determining the sex. You'll have to let me know when you find out about that too. Now that I am actually pregnant, I'm trying to be an avid reader of information regarding babies, and what products are best. It seems like there are sooooooooooo many bottles and carseats and strollers and knowing which one I should trust in seems overwhelming. I'm told Nestle Good Start is the best formula because the others cause constipation. So, I'm going with that as an occasional addition to my breastmilk because as a former nanny, I've seen what the other brands can do to a baby's system. But car seats, not so easy. Everyone raves about Dr. Brown's bottles, but I hated cleaning those things and if you don't put them together correctly, they leak. I think they're more hassle than they are worth. And I don't want to be bothered with buying and fooling around with bags to put into a bottle when I will have to buy them for breastmilk preservation. All of this stuff is going to add up quick. I also decided to go for cloth diapers and do disposable when I'm out and about or traveling. So... I will have so many different things to buy, but my hope is that breast feeding and cloth diapering will be less expensive and more helpful to my baby in the end. I wish they had some personal shopper who could go with you to the store and was an expert on all the different brands and features... someone who could say, get this and don't get that. Almost like a car salesman or a wedding registry guide. Hee Hee Life would be a lot easier. That would be a great business idea! Someone could go to hospitals and OB offices and have people contact them when they were ready to buy and do their baby registry. Hmmmmmm... maybe that's my secret calling. Hee Hee :rolleyes:Quote:

Hi Crissy,
Smart of you to do some research to weigh the pros and cons of various products. This, along with recommendations from friends and family, can help guide you in choosing what you will be most comfortable with.
Funny you mention the idea of having someone take you around the shops to go over the different products as I do some of that in my newborn care classes and as a postpartum doula. We discuss a number of different items new parents will have to consider. Not always specific brands, because sometimes it is a matter of personal preference and baby's needs will sometimes dictate the best choice, but we do discuss the pros and cons of things, what is really necessary and what is nice to have.
You will find several sites that will give reviews from both a safety standpoint as well as a convenience standpoint on different products too.
Enjoy... I always found it great fun to check out all the "stuff" for babies... :)
Yee criss if you want a girl then lets wish for a girllllll woohoo... the thing is on 20 people tha I predicted the sex of their baby I been wrong only on 2 people that's why my friends call me ''gender teller''loooooooooool but you know either it's a boy or girl its still a blessinggg!! and hmm interesting the diaper clothhh
My mind is telling me it's a girl my heart is telling me it's a boy so right now its basically 50/50.. but I defnitly tell you guys on my 11th week even before I find out the sex by utrasound
Crissy:
As for strollers and car seats, I am going to purchase the Chicco set.
After you place the baby in it, there is a lever you press to prop the position up to the most safe position possible. It even has a leveler on it to show you it is the proper even position. The set is like 309.00 at babies r us.
And how did you figure this out?Quote:
