Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers

You ladies look so cute w/ your bellies.

Steph--
Hehe, if I didn''t know that you were preggo, I''d be afraid to ask you if you were expecting.
There is no way that anyone can say for sure that you are carrying a baby in there :D
You look great.

MP--
Cute belly.
Micah must have gone through a growth spurt.

QT--
Adorable as always.
Love the progression collage....you can see how the only thing that grows is the belly.
So funny that your belly button went back in.
I hope it doesn''t mean that BB decides to take longer.

Burk--
You are carrying pretty low but still very small.
Can''t believe you are 36 wks already.

Mara--
Haha, you on the other hand is carrying high....or maybe it just look high because your torso :)
Sounds like things are moving along down there.
I guess the pyschic may be right?
Hope your little guy hang in there for another week or 2.
Sorry about the rough night.
Hang in there...you are almost there.

Meresal--
What a cute tiny belly.
You''ve got that perfect B shape :D
Sorry to hear about the pulled muscle.
Hope you recovery quickly.
 
Happy Monday ladies! I hope everyone has a nice, stress-free week - with no rib kicking lol.
 
Wow that''s a fantastic story!

Mara, things must be getting down to the wire for you, less than a month until D day, right? You can get through it, I know you can.

Mere, Bummer about the muscle/ligament pain. I wonder if it''s sacral or hip related? Perhaps a massage would help it? Any excuse for a massage is a good one in my opinion.

Pupp-Good luck at your appointment! DH is insisting on going with me to my fist appointment. He doesn''t understand that nothing really exciting will be happening because it''s so early. Just a pee and blood test followed by stirrups and someone else''s hand up my hoo-ha.

SS-yay for the 2nd trimester!!! Isn''t that the honeymoon phase?

RPS-You''re almost done baking, so close!!! How many kids do you have at home with you during the day?

Kimberly-My DH is already acting like I''m made of glass and he could break me and baby Z. He''s started driving like an old man and yells at me for doing the slightest amount of work around the house. It''s going to be tough to give up the control when it comes to the baby. I''ll probably be so tired that I just wont care....I''m hoping so anyway.

I''m feeling really good. I''m having a lot of trouble falling asleep. I''ll be bone tired, lay down in bed and shut of the light and then nothing...It''s frustrating.
 
this weekend we took a little babymoon to san antonio, san marcos and fredericksburg which is a quaint greman town. found a fabulous sushi restaurant in SA that we ended up eating two nights in a row at. it was so yummy and i stuck to the cooked rolls. we headed to san marcos on sunday. there there''s a humungo outlet mall. i think i spent an hour at the pottery barn outlet trying to decide on bedding and drapes. after much going back and forth i ended up just getting a mobile. it''s cute though and was a great deal. we also hit up the gap store that sells maternity clothes in SA. i bought a shirt even though there were a few other things [dress, sweater, coat] that fit me and were cute. i figured i shouldn''t get much more winter clothes even thought it''s so cold outside. it''s going to be spring before we know it and i''ll need a few things then. so, i''ll just wear what i''ve got right now and make due until it gets warmer.
 
Harriet, thank you so much! You''re so sweet. We were in NYC in November and I thought of you while we were there (we visited the jewelry district, of course), but hadn''t seen you around for a while so didn''t think to page you to meet up.

Hudson, the list of things I''m not to do is quite long in our house; the miscarriage really sent him into a tailspin. He''s normally really helpful around the house, but now even moreso. When the baby comes and I''m working a lot less there will be some adjusting on my part, I''m going to take back over household cleaning responsibilites. It will be strange.

RPS, our way is the only way.

I''m actually pretty good at letting go of things, my big issue is that I always want to help, which can be intrusive.

Rib kicking has become the baby''s activity of choice. Or perhaps she''s punching? I''m pretty sure it''s kicking, based on where the hiccups are I think she''s head down, but I could be totally wrong.

Meresal, could it be 'round ligament' pain? I woke up in the middle of the night wondering if my right leg had been cut off. Well, it is still here, but goodness gracious it is an internal pain, muscular where the leg connects, but weirdly not like a normal pull/strain. Does that sound like what you have? or are did you do something that you can point to as a pull cause? I am curious b/c I did 45min on the elliptical yesterday, but had no probs after that...swimming this morning didn't hurt, but sitting, standing, anything on land that isn't horizontal is not so comfortable. I am going to ask my ob about this at swim practice tomorrow am. poor woman can't escape me. Good luck Meresal, it is just the weirdest feeling.

I guess it could be... I did absolutely nothing yesterday, and actually went to be without pain. I woke up without pain, and now that I have made it to my office, it hurts again. It seems to be based on my amount of movement, which led me to believe that it wasn't RL related.

Would RL pain be happening no matter how much I do?

ETA: Jcrow- I used to live in San Marcos! LOVE

the outlets!
 
Mara, I hope you''re having a better day today. I know this is the really rough part and it STINKS. I think it''s especially hard on women that used to be the go, go, go type because it''s almost depressing when you can''t anymore. I''m glad that you went to the shower and dinner. I''ve had issues with not wanting to go out because it''s such an effort, but when I do, I feel much more human.

HH, luckily during the day, I have NO kids at home with me during the school year, unless you count SO, who works at home.
9.gif
During the summer, we have 3 here (they''re 16, 14 and 9) and that''s easy enough because they keep themselves occupied. Once the baby''s born, he''ll be here until he''s 2.5-3 months and then he''s off to day care with the 3 year old. I never keep the 3 year old at home unless he''s sick because I wouldn''t be able to get ANY work done. There''s always something he needs, LOL.


My day is starting out on an interesting foot. When the big kids are here on Monday morning, I have to get up at 6 to drive them over to their bus stop. I was up at 4:15 to pee and take a Zantac, then I fell back to sleep and didn''t hear the alarm, so I only woke up at 6:30. Argh! I got the kids up and they got ready, so I decided to drive them to school. The first problem was that it was like 18 degrees and I have limited clothing options because I don''t want to go buy more cold weather maternity clothes this late in the game.

I threw on one of SO''s big thermal shirts and his coat. Lovely, lovely look. After I drove those 2 to school, I had to hop on our staff meeting conference call and couldn''t remember how in the world to sync my headset to my phone. Apparently while I was messing with the settings, I turned off the Mute...and then proceeded to yell at my 9 year old to pick up her makeup and put on her shoes because we needed to leave. There was a huge round of laughter on the phone because everyone heard me. Embarrassing, but it makes me thankful that I work with people who live it too.

So then I drove my daughter to school and then dropped my 3 year old at daycare, still in that same wonderful outfit. A large part of me didn''t even care at all how I looked.
9.gif


Now I''m glad to be back home, done with my meeting and back to having some peace and quiet.

Oh, and yesterday, I got the FIRST "have you had the baby" phone call ever. My MOTHER of all people called last night and said, "So, I guess nothing happened today?" I was actually shocked because she''s always been very good about not hounding me. She knows that all of the other kids were overdue and since I''m only at 38 weeks, there''s really no reason to suspect that I had the baby yesterday and just neglected to call everyone.

I hope you all have a fabulous Monday and if you''re in the cold like I am, you find a good way to stay warm!
 
hi preggos!
i''m what jas would call a "peeping tom" on this board, and love following your stories. even when i''m NOT pregnant, this is the one topic that i just love reading, and keep up with faithfully. it''s so much fun to follow everyone''s progress.

that being said, i''m hoping you can help me out with a "what would you do?" type question...
as some of you may now, i''m another early preggo. i THINK i''ll be 7 weeks tomorrow, but that''s based on LMP...which i don''t think is very reliable b/c i''ve only had 2 periods since having my son last year. Based on conception dates, i''m either 7 weeks tomorrow, or 7 weeks friday (i have no idea when i actually ovulated). i''ve seen my ob once last week (i have NO idea why they wanted me in so early), and i''m scheduled to have an u/s for dating next tuesday.

of course, i''m one of those crazy-anxious unable to wait type A people, and it''s killing me to have to wait until 8 weeks for the u/s (with my son, i had my first right around 6 weeks). and we are waiting to tell most people until after we have seen/heard a heartbeat. dh is a radiologist but his group doesn''t do any ob u/s. last wednesday, i went to one of his offices for a quick abdominal u/s to see if we could identify a heartbeat. i would have been either 6wk 1 day, or 5w 5d. we saw a sac, but no heartbeat. this was with a tech that doesn''t normally do ob, so she THOUGHT she saw a fetal pole, but wasn''t 100% sure. i''m trying not to freak out, especially b/c DH didn''t really want to do it on our own anyway.

so...here''s the question...if you were me would you push DH to do another u/s this week? i think he is willing to set it up, but of course it''ll only be abdominal (not trans-vag), so it''s much harder (i think) to see heartbeat this way. of course i want to know if it''s there, but if there ISN''T a heartbeat, i know at this point i would definitely be freaking out!! and then i''d have to wait until next tuesday for the official u/s anyway. i''m pretty tiny, and i know it''s easier to do abdominal u/s early in a petite person (i''m all of 103lbs right now), so that''s in my favor...

so this has turned into a long, drawn out me-centric post with really only a quick question, but seriously...wwyd????

oh...btw, if we''re friends on facebook, PLEASE don''t mention that i''m pregnant!!!
 
LIA-Congrats on being pregnant. I''m sorry you''re feeling anxious. I know it''s hard, but I''d wait for your doctor''s appointment. Personally I would have had the tech call in a doc to look at the scan when I was there, but I know nothing about the process so I don''t know if that''s standard or not...Good luck, I''m sure everything is fine.
 
First, congrats LIA! I missed your announcement elsewhere.

Second, what *I* would probably do is either cop to what you did to your OB and see if they can fit you in earlier because you are worried. Or tell your OB that you've been cramping and wanted to make sure everything was ok.

My doc at least rushed me in when I was 7 weeks and told them I had been feeling some cramping-which is when we found out it was twins! But anyway, that way you wouldn't have to wait for the "real" u/s.

I'd probably be leery of doing it on my own again without someone experienced because what if you're just looking at the wrong angle, etc.?
 
LIA- I would just try to relax and wait the week for your 8 week appt, for the trans vag U/S.

I have a feeling even if you go in this week, you still won't see what you want. I heard the heartbeat at 6 weeks with a trans vag, and even THAT is early for a trans vag. The baby is still very small at 6/7 weeks, unlike at 11 or 12 weeks where you can see the heart movement. even if you can't hear the hb. (11-13 weeks is usually when they switch to abdominal u/s from trans vag)
 

Waxing, thanks for sharing your story. It sounds like the homebirth was just meant to be for you and Henry. You wouldn''t have had time to get to the hospital even if you wanted to! I''m glad your labor and delivery was what you wanted. Congratulations!


HH, DH is treating me as if I''m fragile as well. Right now, I don''t mind because it means no bathroom cleaning or dog walking. He''s decided I can''t be around those stinky bathroom cleaners - he''s probably right AND that I''ll catch a cold if I walk the dog while the temps are so low. I love my doggie, but man do I hate walking him when it''s freezing!


LIA, I''m with Neat - fess up so you can get a proper ultrasound. Getting another at DHs office may only result in more worry. As a fellow worry wart, I say don''t do that to yourself!


RPS and KimberlyH, thanks to you both, I made a promise (outloud so I can''t take it back!) to DH this weekend that I will not hover and correct him when the baby comes. That may just be the hardest thing I have to do!

 
I just felt my heart rate skyrocket.

My normal resting heartrate is around 58-62. I just became extremely overhearted, nauseous, and lightheaded while sitting at my desk. After spendnig a few minutes in the restroom, I came back to my desk and timed my heart rate, and it is at 95!

Does this happen to anyone else? Has it? For the past 3 days I have been have a problem with nausea, but nothing like this. It really scared me.
 
Congrats LIA! I''m with NF on this one. Or wait, but I wouldn''t do another one on my own, too much to stress about.

Jcrow- Do you still live in LA? Or are you closer to me now? Understand if you don''t want to say, but just curious! DH and I ended up doing our babymoon in Austin- we wanted to go elsewhere (i.e., more exotic) but it just didn''t work out. It was lovely! DH and I got married in Austin, so we stayed at the same place and it was so fun.

Mer- Did you go to school in San Marcos? I was wondering where you went the other day.

JCROW, MERESAL, GINGER, and any other H-town ladies- Now that the holidays are over, thought I''d try and see if we could set up a GTG! Ginger, when are you due??? JCrow, when you might you be headed our way? I am totally open and around for the foreseeable future. Except for Valentine''s weekend. And there''s a chance we may go to Mexico, but that would be a spur of the moment thing so I''m not planning around it. Anyways, let me know what works for you guys and if you''re still interested.

Kimberly, RPS- I am not a control freak at all, and was so sure I wouldn''t be all "my way" about the baby and DH. Until I was!
3.gif
DH is great with babies and I totally trust him. BUT when you spend 24/7 with an infant, you learn what works or what you think the baby should or shouldn''t be doing. In the beginning when I would try to let my mom or DH take the baby so I could nap/shower/cry
31.gif
, it would stress me out if they weren''t doing it the "right" way. For example, my DH''s solution to EVERYTHING was to just stick him in the swing. And my mom would rock him to sleep rather than letting him fall asleep on his own. But you know what? I realized that I needed help and I needed a break. And if I asked someone to help, then I had to be respectful enough to let them do it their way. It got so much easier when I let it go. So what if DH has him in the swing too long? The baby has lived and thrived and doesn''t have a swing addiction.

So many babies are so close to making their appearance!!! So excited.

Cello- You still with us?
 
HH
Congrats and Welcome.  Lots of sticky dusts and a easy, healthy 9 months to you.

Mara
We went to Costco yesterday, and totally forgot to get pineapple.  LOL.  Hope you are having a better day today.  I can’t wait til Thursday.  I am tired of sitting in my cubicle all day long; it hurts my butt and lower back, even when I get up at least once every hour to walk around.

RPS
Hope the first “have you had your baby” phone call don’t lead to more.  No one called to ask that with my last pregnancy, but I guess I wasn’t overdue.  This time everyone just wants to know what we are having.  My MIL asked DH the other day if we are having a boy, and all her sisters think we are having a boy b/c of my popped belly button.  I think MIL had been snooping in M’s room, and maybe saw some boy clothes or something.  Hehe.

LIA
Congratulations.  I would just wait for the OB appt since no one on your DH’s team is experienced with pregnancy u/s.  It’s causing you more stress than you need.

Yay last week of work until end of May.  Hehe.  A group of my co-workers is taking me out to sushi for my birthday and to celebrate for the baby Wednesday.  Then the division is giving me a small cake and ice cream shower on Thursday.  I feel bad about getting gifts for the second baby since my two kids are so close together (are only 18 months apart), so I emailed the organizers and told them to forget about the gifts since I don’t need much and just do the cake and ice cream.  But they told me not to worry about it, and that they won’t get me gifts but just a gift card to spend; they said that I’ll still need diapers.  That’s so sweet of them.
 
Hey, girls. Just got back from my weekly appointment. Everything looked good, but no progress whatsoever. Looks like he will be making his scheduled appearance on the 27th unless something happens next week. Oh, I lost 2 pounds this week, so I''m having McDonald''s for lunch to make up for it...sounds like the logical thing to do, right
3.gif
. Hope everyone is having a great day!
 
meresal, i wouldn't worry about the elevated HR s long as it went back to normal...i would get weird hot flashes accompanied by higher heart rate stuff sometimes even before pregnant. i really tried not to worry about random pregnancy stuff, unless it was really painful or didn't go away or involved bleeding or something. your body does WEIRD STUFF all thru pregnancy.

LIA...congrats again! i would just wait til your 8 week appt. if you saw the egg sac and the circle, that is what we saw at 6.5 weeks. there was no HB yet even with an internal US. we saw the heartbeat at the 8 week appt. thing is...and this is hard to stomach but there's not much you can DO right now but wait anyway, so i would just try to relax and think positive thoughts. it's good you saw the sac though--that seems on track for timing.

i just had some pineapple from our cafe downstairs hahaa. come on baby! lol. this morning at 5am he woke me with rib kicks and then was super active for almost an HOUR. i had dull menstrual cramping on both sides and sharp cervix pains for about 5-15 minutes of that hour as well. the cervix pains make me want to clamp my legs closed! finally he settled in and i was able to sleep for 1.5 hours. i read online that this is all just part of 'pre labor' and getting ready. sooo here i am. and i forgot who asked but i am 37 weeks so 3 more to go (or less). snake baby is busy scraping around under my ribs and esophagus and has hiccups right now as well.

QT yay for the last week!! its mine too, i am so happy haha but everyone has loaded me up with meetings, bah. i am already mentally checking out.

steph, lol re: mcdonalds, i think the same way. plus i am like...seriously i am not really skimping on my eating and calories (well i fit what i can) but i am like why isnt more of this going to the baby? i totally feel like he has to be bigger than what the dr thought. i am estimating him at 6 for now hehee.

mere..also not sure if you saw what i said about the sciatic nerve pain but that could also be what you are feeling in the leg area. it is really painful sometimes.

Click to expand...
I had something similar happen to me periodically throughout my pregnancy. It was really scary each time it happened because I felt like I was going to pass out (and 1 time did, but this was very early on...1st tri). One time I was driving and I felt the symptoms come on and had to pull over until they passed.

For me personally, I was having the *episodes* more often leading up to my diagnosis of kidney stones, I don''t know that they were related, but I just wasn''t feeling well leading up to that and the DR kept telling me everything was OK. But I had other symptoms as well (trouble urinating, but no infection).

Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say I know what you''re going thru and it''s definitely scary when it happens! I hope it was just a one time deal for you.
 
LIA - wait it out. At just barely 6 weeks, you really need a transvag scan to pick up the speck of a fetal pole. If you see a sac and yolk sac transabdominally, you''re doing well. As hard as it is, just wait for the 8 week scan. If you''ve got a strong heartbeat at that point, things are looking good. And there''s nothing you can do to make things come out right anyhow!

Mer - I''ve also had a couple episodes where I''ve gotten suddenly hot and faint and had my HR jump up to the high 80s-90s. Normally I''m down around 60 as well, so it feels really fast to me. Last time it happened, I went and checked my BP in the OR, and it was totally fine, though I was feeling better by then. It felt a little like a vasovagal reaction, though I have no idea to what. I just drink a little water, try to sit down, eat a bite, and hope it goes away soon.
 
oooh also re: elevated heartbeat...i just remembered i have had a few times like that where i also kind of break out into a sweat and feel a little dizzy. i think it''s actually related to low-ish blood sugar at times or doing too much and not drinking enough water and/or eating.
 
LIA congrats!!!! i would just wait it out.
 
you guys are awesome. of course you are all right, and the LOGICAL and SMART thing to do would be to wait the week until next tuesday.

that being said, i have an appointment with the u/s tech today at 1:30. yes, i''m an idiot who likes to self-flagellate!!
11.gif

i''ll update you guys with what happens, and yes, i will try to remain strong if there is no heartbeat.

neat, i love the way you put it, and you are so right, i should TOTALLY just fess up to my ob...and i just might, depending on what we see/don''t see today..

mer: just wanted to let you know that i had the same thing happen. i was about 30 weeks or so i think at the time, and like CDT, i was driving. it was VERY scary, but passed relatively quickly. make SURE you stay hydrated and well-fed!!
 
LIA, congrats!!! I missed your earlier announcement! So excited for you! Even though I know you are very anxious (which I would be too!), I''d wait it out until your OB appointment. Since you had PTL with C, do you think they will do an early u/s and take a measurement of your cervix? Wonder how/if they will monitor you more closely? Hope you have a wonderful and smooth pregnancy this time around!!! I hope to be joining you soon! :)

we''re in austin now. funny we also wanted to do something a little more exotic, but it just didn''t work out. and when we booked san antonio, we later found out we booked it when they''re draining the river
20.gif
so, that''s why we decided to do a couple of day trips out of san antonio instead.

over the weekend, we agreed that we need to do a vacation in austin a few times before the baby comes. just take a weekend and go out exploring areas we haven''t been to yet.

where in austin did you get married?

ooh, yes! houston gtg is needed! i''m open the last two weekends in janurary as well as the first weekend of february.
 
lover in athens, congrats + welcome!!

HH and LIA - so many congratulations and welcome. Lia, I was going to suggest waiting or trying to get a transvag earlier, but now I''ll just hope that you heard the HB
3.gif
.

jcrow - a babymoon sounds blissful!

meresal - hope that the muscle pain and freaky heart rate increases subside asap!

and everyone''s belly''s look fantastic. i''ve really got to start taking photos again.

as for me, just back from my 17wk appointment and all is well. everything but for the relentlessly, pounding headaches that have started the past couple of weeks. I''d been medicating them with water, but was told that tylenol is perfectly fine and even a bit of advil if it''s not responsive (no advil after 32 weeks). also, i know that I''ve probably griped about my ridiculous work schedule recently (had to work thanksgiving, christmas and new years, a vertible holiday trifecta) and am in serious need of a vacation. prior to my work spiraling out of control, DH and I were discussing the possibility of our own babymoon and tossing around all sorts of wonderful destinations, but this case came up and I was feeling like I couldn''t possibly take time off knowing that I would be taking maternity as well. that guilt however, flew right out of the window after last week''s series of late nights and we just booked a mexican getaway. Neither of us have ever been and I''m an absolute ocean lover. plus, this trip doesn''t require tons of days so it''s sort of a compromise and hopefully, just what I''m needing. Now if only it was march

I had terrible headaches during the 2nd tri (I seemed to have had everything
3.gif
)..anyway, I called them mini-migraines because that's what they felt like and my Dr recommended Excendrin Tension headache...it's basically Tyelnol w/ a little caffeine...worked great for me...

on a random note: It seems I had a lot of the *bad* preggo symptoms...can't believe I'd actually want to do it again (not yet!!)
11.gif
 
lovelylulu -

the doctor asked me if i was getting headaches. she said lots of people do thanks to the hormones. oooh, mexico!? sounds wonderful for a babymoon. i wish we would have done something a bit more out of the ordinary, but oh well
25.gif


ooh! i can''t wait to find out what your having!
 
thanks cdt - I may have DH pick some on that up on his way home from work. I''ve had headaches before (though never migranes) but these are rough.

jcrow - i think that your trip sounded really excellent. you don''t have to go somewhere far away to have an incredible time!!

I can''t wait for that scan either. I was hoping they''d schedule it for next week (18wks) but no such luck. patience.
 
JCrow- Oh, I love Austin. My fave TX city by far, and would happily move back in a heartbeat. Are you enjoying it? We got married at the Four Seasons, outside on the lawn by Town Lake. They have a GREAT prenatal massage there, btw. I know it's pricey, but it was the best one I got anywhere and it was heavenly. Just FYI!

Last 2 weekends in Jan/first weekend in Feb are open for me as of now. Other H-town ladies????

ETA: Lulu, yay for MEXICO!!! Care to say where? DH and I are trying to plan a trip to Mexico right now as well. Can't wait.
Don't overwork yourself just b/c you are going to take mat leave. I know it's hard to get out of that mind set (you are a lawyer too, right?) but you might as well start now. You have the right to mat leave!!! Don't take on more than you can handle, it's hard work being preggo. I learned to start setting boundaries that I had a hard time setting before. And so exciting that your gender scan is soon.
