I think it lasted a week, but it was less profuse abter 3 or 4 days. Generally there is more CF during pregnancy, and your cervix really changes.. TMI but the other night DH and I were fooling around and he was like, "Whoa, your cervix is weird!" I guess the change is really noticableDate: 8/26/2008 4:47:31 PM

DD - I don''t think it would be possible for you to look like a fat hobo. But it did make me LOL! Btw, how long did the watery CM last for you? I''ve never experienced something like this before...it is kind of nuts. and also, a bit ewwww. Of course, I guess it is only one of about a bazillion ewwwwwws in the months to come!
Yeah team blue! do you have names picked out??Date: 8/26/2008 4:44:17 PM

thanks for the kind words everyone!
so yes, i had my fetal survey u/s yesterday. it was so much fun...the dr. took a ton of measurements and confirmed that everything looks normal and on track. the level of detail we were able to see was insane...heart chambers, cerebellum...wow!
the shocker came when he told us the gender. for the past 10 wks i''ve been convinced i was having a girl...no particular reason why but i just had a strong sense...plus a bunch of the old wives tales were also pointing to a girl (high heartrate, feeling sick yadda yadda yadda)
well...it''s a BOY!!
i made the dr. check twice just to be sure haha, but we are definitely thrilled. what with neatfreak and indy''s twin boys, it''ll be a blue fest here on PS pretty soon!

I had no idea that a baby's IQ was related to the length of time it stays in the belly. Hmm. Interesting.
Dreamer, that really looks like a baby bump now – no one should mistake that for pudge. Your skirts are so cute.
LL, lots of nutters round here – you are in good company.
LL and Peony, sorry I can’t give advice on early pregnancy tests, as I was so oblivious it didn’t occur to me I might be PG until week 7 when I started feeling like crap (thought it was the flu at first).
Tacori, love your new avatar – T is such a cutie.
Lisa, thanks for sharing your L&D story. I keep going back and forth between a vag birth and a C section – sounds like there are pros and cons with each. Either way, I know I’m getting that epi.
Indy, you are probably feeling the stretching earlier because of the twins. I started feeling it quite a bit at mid 2nd tri, and now it is ridiculous. I am going through lots of moisturizer on my tummy, sides and hips to try to prevent stretchmarks and help with the itchy feeling.
Pave, glad you had a good appt and love your Dr. – that makes it so much easier.
Jas, sounds like you are “cursed” with a charming, sexy husband.
Sbde, yay for a boy!
Snlee, I did go home last night and sat on my couch naked and watched TV. It was a great feeling. I agree, the weekly changes are amazing. Some days I look down and see weird movements under my shirt – it’s still kind of surreal. Congrats on your anniversary!

Fisher, it really isn''t in most cases. It is ONLY in relation to very premature babies, and again as Indy said, it''s just an average. The take home message isn''t that your baby''s IQ will be less if they are born a bit early. So don''t worry honey!
That's what I said when we were about to find out the baby's sex. There was a pink fest going on and I thought, that means I'm having a boy. Ok, so I am having a boy. I ended up breaking the girl streak. But that doesn't mean you'll have a girl. Your chances are 50/50 like everyone else here!Date: 8/26/2008 5:30:54 PM

I guess this means I will have a girl, after all the boys here its time for some pink...

Indy I am with you in the sense that I like more information rather than less, but I think for that non-stats nerds out there, this information can be just overwhelming, especially when complicated stats things are discussed, so it makes it sound like it''s MUCH more usual than it really is KWIM?
Also, there are just too many poorly worded discussions including stats that scare people into thinking things are really common when they aren''t. Or conversely, that there is a relationship for everyone when really it only exists for a small group (like with the IQ thing). I think it''s just confusing for many people, so that''s even scarier when the stats are complex and it''s simplified incorrectly.
Just my .02 though!

I totally see what you mean (but did I simplify the stats incorrectly?). To me a ''stats story'' says ''See? Not much risk! (or manageable risk!)'' but to someone less nerdy and more inclined toward anecdotes, a ''stats story'' is like an anecdote that prompts a response of ''OMG!! That could happen to my baby?!'' Plus, sometimes I just get really curious and interested in things which may be a concern or worry for others. So I''m all ''Blah blah isn''t this myelin thing interesting?'' and someone else thinks it''s less interesting than SCARY!
So perhaps I better keep my stats to myself. Naughty stats nerd! Naughty naughty stats nerd!
I wonder what made Fishy ask about this. Fishster were you worried or just curious?
I have no shame. I broke them out full time at 10 weeks. And it felt greatDate: 8/26/2008 8:25:03 PM

When did the rest of you start to wear maternity clothing? And does anyone have a good source for maternity pants with long inseams? (I'm 5'11'.)

Pregnancy Related Guilty Admission for the Day
I, Dreamer, did knowingly and willfully eat nothing all day until dinner except a large McDonald''s fries. And I feel great. So if my baby is born with a 15-points-lower IQ, we will all know the real reason.
But I really WANT to eat french fries every day for breakfast... I can''t??Date: 8/26/2008 8:49:48 PM

LOL. Been there, done that, especially during my horrendous morning sickness days when greasy food was the only thing that would stay down! As long as you don''t make a habit of it, I am sure your little bean will be just fine!
I''m glad you''re feeling good today and hope it lasts! I started wearing maternity pants at 13 weeks. My regular pants got very uncomfy early on. The maternity pants were so much more comfortable!Date: 8/26/2008 8:25:03 PM
