I'm 16 and 14 weeks pregnant. My babies heart beat is 160.
I don't know what is normal with pregnancy and something's are starting to scare me.
Sometimes I feel like I'm in a lot of pain
More lower back pain but I can' take a bath because it is hard for me to breath
Just thought I'd ask for some helpful tips...
You should see a doctor. I didn't experience shortness of breath until I was about 8 months pregnant and as big as a house.
The baby's heart rate should be between 120 and 160, but the heart rate can fluctuate throughout the day. It will not always stay at 160 :)
160 beats per minute (BPM) is perfect, absolutely beautiful, you are lucky. 140-170 is perfect, so you are EXACTLY in the perfect range.
The rest of your feelings are perfectly normal also and will tend to get a little stronger as time goes by until delivery.
Baby is taking up space in your abdomen, squeezing your internal organs, and will continue to do so as he/she grows.
Although you are concerned, this is all very common and very normal.
Are you under the care of a doctor? Babies normally have a high heart beat. Your body itself is under going a lot of changes, now along with that it is adjusting to being pregnant. There really isn't a normal pregnancy everyone experience different stuff. It is very important to get your prenatal check ups, eat healthy, and get rest.
It seems at this stage you shouldn't be having that bad of back pains and trouble breathing. I would suggest see your doctor right away.
Understand we don't know her (Mom's) size. If she is of small stature this could be very normal for her.
I will reiterate what the others have said though... Prenatal care is a MUST!!
Very true. I forgot that the growth process could be different for someone with a small frame. :)Quote:

Great news to hear. Let them know about your concerns. It probably isn't nothing to be worried over.
Okay well I get a ton of back pains, it's normal I know... but this early?
As I was saying before I am Tiny I was only 105pounds when I got pregnant.
Anything you have for tips on relaxation, or even getting the back pains to stop
Any pains that I had a warm bath would always take care of. Also, a heating pad was my best friend while I was pregnant :)Quote:

Heating pad works nice or if you can get someone to roll a tennis or racket ball around your back. You might want to ask your doctor for some exercises/stretching you can do to help ease your back pain as well.
You are also allowed to take Tylenol :)Quote:

I know Tylenol has been a savior.. I only take one every four hours if I do need it.
The tennis ball is a GREAT idea, actually the best. A heating pad, well, make sure you get your doctor's permission first. And make sure you never use on your belly.
With your small stature a heating pad may go against your doctor's advice as it does tend to raise your internal temperature wherever it is placed and the baby does not need for you to have your midsection too hot.
Hmm yea
Good thing to ask my doctor about.
When do you start to feel the baby?
I know I'm already showing... but I really want to start feeling it move..
You should start to feel it usually around 18 weeks or so.
Ohhh I can't wait :)
It is truly one of the best feelings in the world. Of course a few months later you can really feel it. My son used to knock stuff off my belly.
It was one of the most wonderful feelings I have ever felt. To feel life inside you is truly a miracle. I have had 4 and would give anything if I could have more. I loved every second of pregnancy.
Lol I got a swift kick in the ribs this morning. Damn near fell out of my chair. First "real"kick I've gotten this time... Im 20 weeks tomorrow... you are close... you are probably already feeling the "bubbles" and don't even realize it.. :)
I swear I felt something last night... but as soon as I told my mum it stopped lol
And 4 kids... wow
I love kids... but I don't know if I could handle four lol
When I first felt something I grabbed my hubby's hand and asked him if he felt it to. He said yes and I yelled out I felt my baby kick in a crowded movie theater in Korea, luckily everyone knew us and gave us a standing ovation. If you are natural on the thinner side you can sometimes feel it early. Second pregnancies you kind of know what to feel for.
Hun, you very well could have felt what is called "fluttering" it is actually very common, but you may not feel it for a while.
Yes, I had 4, my 2 oldest are 21 and 19, my two youngest are 13 and 5. I would do it all over again if I could.
Well at least there is a bit of an age difference it's not like they are all young.
I must say pregnancy is exciting but so up and down it's not even funny.
Korea, Oh I can't wait to go there I was acctually suppoused to go there this summer for 6 months, I was offered a teaching job to teach english to kids aged 5-6. Well that trip got post-poned. I'm excited to go though but I'm going to have my baby, get fully graduated and go. I'm thrilled
I feel that age sometimes really doesn't factor that much. I was scared to death when I was pregnant after my son was born my husband had to go on deployment. We had just moved. Here I am a new mother with a new baby and no family or friends for miles. Thank goodness for that nurse advice line, even though I think they probably thought I was nuts.
I mean all mothers worry about their babies and go through different feelings, stress from family etc. Just because of the fact we are adults doesn't make us better off in a pregnancy situation.
Sorry I read that last post wrong...
LOL, I basically had 2 different families. It worked out wonderfully for all of us.
Oh wow. Lol
