Does anyone have pets they are a little concerned about them with children?!? do you have a plan?
I have 2 dogs and 2 cats... i think they will all be fine except one of my dogs i wouldnt trust 100%. Im hoping he just thinks of the baby as one of the family and will be protective of him/her like he is with me and my OH.

Sounds like everyone has a lot going on this last week. I've been on vacation since Saturday and am finally getting a chance to see how everyone's doing.
I'm starting to feel my jeans are slightly tighter these days. We've taken one picture at week 9, and my husband wanted to take one for week 10 this week but I want to be in the same clothes for each one - won't be home til Sunday.
I didn't have a car accident to scare us (thank God you're ok), but we were up on a mountain summit yesterday (14,110 feet up). Once we got there, we went into the gift shop to use the restroom and then grabbed something to purchase. While in line, I told my husband I was having a hard time getting my pulse to calm down (attributed it due to the lack of oxygen at that altitude). When we got to the cashier, I started feeling woozy and told my husband I think I need to sit down, which quickly turned to lay down. Within a second I was on the ground. I came to shortly after to find my husband and another customer propping me up on the floor. An EMT member quickly came, check my blood oxygen levels and blood pressure. Just as suspected my blood pressure was low - back during my MC in March I had the same thing happen.
After sitting for a bit on the floor, then moving to a table and drinking tons of water, I felt better. Only injury was a scuffed up knee. I told the EMT member that I'm 2.5 months pregnant and I have a feeling it helped contribute to the low blood pressure mixed with the altitude change. About 3 weeks prior I was at the doctors for a visit and it was 90/60, which is extremely low for me (I was feeling funny all day before seeing that).
And it doesn't help that this week my MS decided to jump into high gear. It's been a great vacation otherwise.

Karina, Im glad you had a good vacation but that sounds very scary. Are you able to get to your doctor soon to check everything is ok? Are you worried?
Everyone has been quiet lately!!
UPDATES LADIES!!!!!!! Morning sickness, cramps, bumps ... anything!!!
My belly has really popped this week!! its now impossible to hide even in baggy clothes. Im starting to get a few pain up higher which im thinking must be my organs moving around.

My next doctor appointment is next week Wednesday for my 11 week. I have a list of questions for her this time around. My body is definitely acting differently than the first time.
I was slightly concerned at first but because I knew what happened I felt better. But one other thing I'll be asking about other than this fainting episode is about these heart heart palpitations. I read they're normal in pregnancy, but I still don't like it. Also my rosacea is acting up like crazy, which I have medicated cream for but can't use during pregnancy.
Oh, and my MS with me running to the bathroom is up to almost every other day. I miss it when it was 1x/week.

Hi ladies!
Had another prenatal appointment today and was able to hear baby's heartbeat with a fetal doppler! It was good and strong at 161! What a beautiful sound It took a minute to find and what a terrifying minute that was! I'm finally starting to believe that everything will be ok
Lisa- my belly is def growing and it's impossible to hide! Somehow baggy clothes makes it more noticeable!
As for pets, I have 3 cats. One of them is a Siamese and I'm a little concerned about how he'll react to the baby. He's quite attached to oh and I and wants constant attention! I know I'm going to have to make an effort to give him attention once the baby arrives so that he doesn't get jealous. I've also read that it can be helpful to try and prepare your pets before the baby arrives...playing recordings of a baby crying, using lotions that you will use on the baby and letting pets scope out the nursery. I've even read that it's a good idea to take home a blanket or piece of clothing the baby has worn in hospital and let pets smell it before baby comes home.
Karina- glad to hear your ok. That must have been scary! Have you gotten checked out by your doctor?

Karinama- I also have heart palpitations/fainting episodes that are intensified by pregnancy. Tell me what you hear. I was told to just wait it out and try not to stand up too quick, LOL- thanks doc!

We have 2 dogs - one is very chill.....the other a hyperactive puggle mix who is a little more than a year old. We know the chill, older dog will be ok with the baby - his first experience with a baby was a great experience, he initially didn't know how to react but then her face ultimately became his licking spot. The puggle mix doesn't like us not giving him attention or when we try to give the other dog attention. So he's going to be a slight challenge. We hope by April he'll be better.
Maybe a good way to work on that with him will be have a doll and carry it around like a real baby along with the crying sounds. Good suggestion, Kasey.

Karina, those symptoms dont sound very fun. I hope you get some answers from the doc and can worry less.
Kasey, glad to hear your appointment went well. I cant wait to hear the babies HB. I should get to hear it next month at my OB appointment. I hope they find it straight away.
Good suggestion with the doll. At any given time i usually have at least 2 animals if not 3 with me on the couch so someone is going to get unhappy when baby takes prime position. im going to get my pram early so i can get the dogs used to walking next to it.
Morgan, how are you going following the bleeding? whens your next appt?
i showed my OH a tame birth video yesterday coz he had never seen one before... his face was priceless! lol he doesn't like needles and stuff so i might end up being his support person during delivery! haha

Hi! Sorry I have been MIA for a while!
Karina: Sounds really scary! Glad you are ok! This pregnancy has also been so much different from the others, I am hoping thats because it is actually going to be the REAL one that ends with a take home baby!
Loved the little leg US shots Lisa! Very cute!
AFM, MS seems to be on the way out. Have gone a few days ow without feeling sick (unless I go too long between meals) and basically feel ok. I have had some cramps on and off, and am so tired, but other than that feel human again!
No pets here, so one less thing to worry about!
Anyone thinking about birthing classes? We are thinking of doing hypnobirthing. I have been in contact with the midwife that teaches it, and she seems to think the earlier the better... She wants me to start classes in November! I won't even be 20 weeks! I think I might need to find out if she will do a January class and take it then. November just seems so early!
I have my 12 week on monday... they will test for DS as well as look for abnormalities at the appointment. Hoping for the best, but can't help but be a little scared and nervous!

Vietmamsie, Im so happy you have made it so far after so many losses. You must be feeling over the moon.
I have booked my birthing classes already. They are in Feb sometime. They told me to book them straight away when i was at the hospital the other day. Ive never heard of hypnobirthing before... what does that entail?
Good luck with your scan! I had my DS scan and while i dont regret getting a scan in general i kinda wish i never tested for DS. I think its just made me worry more even though i dont have the results yet.
Ice, have you been to the doctor or is this normal for you?
