Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers

o wow blen -what a relief that eveything is ok though...goodness there are just so many things throughout pregnancy that happen and you can never know just what it is. sorry you had to go through that but again relieved that it isnt anything serious!
 
Oh wow, Blen, glad to hear you''re ok! I''ve had some round ligament pain that''s been pretty bad, but nothing that''s lasted more than 30 seconds or so. I can''t even imagine driving through that pain!
 
Blen I'm glad it was nothing! I know that when I have unexplained wierd pains and feelings and start to worry and focus on the pain, it makes it worse, so I bet the shock and worry really exacerbated it! If it happens again, you will know what it might be and perhaps it will pass faster before you have to go all the way to L&D! Alls well that ends well, but man pregnancy s a roller coaster!

At least now you know that your cervix is in good shape too, that is nice to know.

ETA good luck tomorrow NYC!!
 
Blen, that''s just HORRIBLE! But I''m glad it was nothing serious. I hope that doesn''t happen to you again.

Pandora, I''m so glad you and DH felt the baby! That''s such a fun thing, isn''t it?
 
Hey ladies! Hope everyone had a happy holiday!!

Pave - Glad to hear Tyler''s surgery went well!

Blen - that sounds so scary! Glad it was nothing to worry about.

Everything''s good here. Looking forward to ringing in the new year w/ hubby and dog snuggled on the coach

It''s snowing here again! They are calling for only 2 inches, but jeez I hate snow. This is the 3rd time in 2 weeks. Unusual for NJ.

Happy New Year everyone!!!!!

Thanks DD...
in waiting room....
Extra nervous...
 
Blen -- so glad that you are OK! Tell the little one to settle down! Round ligament pain can be awful. I have a lot of pubic bone pain, because the ligaments have relaxed and I have a misaligned pelvis due to a previous pelvic reconstruction surgery. It can be terrible!

So who all is feeling their little one move? I have an anterior placenta and didn''t really start feeling light movement until 20w 4d. Now I''m 22w 2d and I can feel her all of the time! My husband got to feel her for the first time Monday, she has been kicking hard and you can see my whole stomach jump! I absolutely love it, I jabber non-stop about whenever she is moving around or kicking. Does it get old when they''re kicking REALLY hard later on?

I have been able to feel it for the last three days - I''ve got a posterior placenta so it makes it easier I think. DH can feel it pretty well if I am lying very still.

Blen, I''m glad it turned out to be nothing, but you did the right thing. One of my friends had appendicitis when she was 29 weeks - she thought it was just constipation or something and only went to the hospital because her husband forced her!

Nycbk, I started buying things a few years ago - things like handmade pique baby clothes with lace edging from Burano in Venice. I bought the cot the week before xmas, and then we were given so many baby things for xmas it seemed stupid not to take advantage of the sales.

I reckon at 20 weeks I am as safe as it''s ever going to be. Having had such a detailed NT scan has made me less worried about the anomaly scan next week.

I also want to enjoy the shopping, which means doing it whilst I can still walk properly - the bump is now so far out in front that I find my balance is off already and bending down is a real effort (joy and I''m only 20 weeks).

Touch wood, but it''s now been 3 days and I haven''t felt sick in the mornings before I take my promethazine. I''m still taking it, but I might see what happens if I try to taper off.
 
I first felt the fluttering around 18-19 weeks, but I didn''t feel real fluid movement until I was almost 21 weeks I think. Now she''s moving around like crazy!! As soon as I ly down for bed she starts doing Tae Bo in my belly. I hope this isn''t an indication of what she''ll be like when she gets here!
 
I felt the first flutters at about 17 weeks but it wasn''t strong and constant until about 22 weeks. Now I feel more roiling aorund that outright kicking. I think our baby is pretty laid back, knock wood. The baby has been in the same position for weeks and weeks: head down, facing my right side. So I feel hiccups down in my lower left, and I feel little punches in my lower right and kicks in my uper right under the ribs. Nothing hurts, more like uncomfortable.

And no, it hasn''t gotten old yet!

Thanks, guys! Pandora, that makes me feel better. And triage did assign me level 2, and I saw from the chart that level 1 is unresponsive, so I think they were taking it pretty seriously too. A L&D nurse later mentioned that no one was offering me anything to drink b/c they''d want me to be as close to NPO as possible if I needed surgery. And then it was just RLP. So she brought me a huge thing of apple juice.

It''s bothering me a teensy bit this morning, but the CNM warned me that doing things like rolling over in bed could reaggrevate it. She suggested fetal position plus heat if it gets bad.

nycbk - so you should know by now, right?! I''m anxiously waiting for you to get back with us! I can''t believe how far along you are. By the way, does your user name stand for anything in particular?

Pandora - glad to hear that the m/s may be easing up. The baby clothing sounds lovely.

Courtney - I''m telling my husband that your baby GIRL is a ninja too. He''s convinced that ninja baby = boy.

Congratulations, nyc! I don''t read this thread regularly. I came over to read about neatfreak''s twins because she is a friend and I got very absorbed in the thread, however. Your story is wonderful, but all the stories here are! I love the pictures of blenheim! I can''t believe all the "brides" I know who are now here pregnant! If one doesn''t come here, one misses out on a lot of important posters'' pregnancies! There should be a place besides this where the pregnancies or perhaps births are at least announced, although not followed!

Aww, thanks Deborah.

In terms of announcements, this might be what you''re looking for. It''s not always 100% up to date with new pregnancies though.

And Happy New Year, everyone! It''s now our babies'' birth year.

Thanks again everyone for the congrats ...

Happy new year!
 
Happy New Year mamas to be!!
