Babies due in JUNE!

[Ferne]

My emotions have been kinda of even keel, but when I was carrying DD, I felt more 'unbalanced' because I already tended to have high estrogen levels. I feel like the sex of the baby contributes to your original hormones (crazy theory prolly).

Anyways, I'm glad you're getting out a bit because all that being alone doesn't help a thing!! I'm glad you have some good friends....

CONGRATS STARSIGN!

Finally, someone's on Team Blue with me!

I agree with your theory. Despite being on bedrest for half of my last pregnancy, I was so happy, calm and peaceful. I had a girl.

This time, up until about 2 weeks ago, I have been bitchy. One friend said it was because "with your second, you're tired. You can't take a nap whenever you want because you're looking after #1."

I wish I could say that I havent been bitchy, but I have been and this is my first. Perhaps I can attribute it to the chaos, aggressive and rude people in NYC. Do you know only 2% of the time do I get offered a seat on the subway?

It's a GIRL! We are so excited!!! everything looked good at scan. Have any of you ladies been experiencing Braxton hicks already? Mine started yesterday. I sm 20 weeks. Also, anyone experience shortness of breath at night as you lay down? It does it off and on, normally last for about 15 minutes.

Congrats Destin! I got my first braxton hicks at 19 weeks and still get them on and off. I dont really notice them apart from when Im feeing my tummy and realise how hard it is! I have terrible shortness of breath at bedtime. OH says I regularly wake him up huffing and puffing when Im trying to get comfy!x

Yes, to the shortness of breath when I lie down, but on my back. when I turn on my side, it goes away....

and WOW, another for the PINK team! Must have been something in the sky during the month of september, however I do know a lot of male geminis!

I'm surprised by how many hotdogs there have been on some of the journals I frequent, but this thread, is certainly seeming pretty girlie.

On another note, I have noticed a slight increase in the occurrence of shortness of breath. I sleep kind of inclined now and prefer to sleep on the side the baby normally rests in (right). Hips getting better (they were going through some kind of stretching thing) and skin treatment on arms is working out now. Whew, on to the next phase.

I'm doing contractions, but I can't really feel them. The U/S tech could see one yesterday on the screen. I can wait on the B-H contractions. With my last, they were confusing close to the due date.

I just wanted to let everyone know that Claire Olea was born at 12.15am on Thursday, 26th January 2012. She was 20 weeks and 2 days old. DH and I are simply heartbroken but we know in our hearts we have done the kindest thing for her.

I know I have not been a regular contributor on this forum but I have constantly lurked in the background and it has been a pleasure to follow everyone's journey. Thank you!

 

[sadie]

Sending you the warmest of hugs. xo

CONGRATS DESTIN!!! Go Team PINK!

 

[Ferne]

Hi Quisty,
I am so sad to read the news about Claire. I hope that you and your family are comforting for each other at this time. How are your other 2 children handling the loss? They must be so sad. I am so sorry.

I guess it s just normal for the shortness of breath at night...but it scares me into a panic. I have noticed lying on my left side helps.

Thank you....I just started expericing them. I don't remember feeling them this early. Anyone feeling much movement?

 

[Ferne]

I was woken up at 3am this morning because the kicks were so strong. If I had had something on my stomach, it would've bounced off. I never went back to sleep after that. Needless to say, I'm dragging.

 

[Ferne]

Got all of my results from the amnio today and everything came back perfect/fine. Now, I can finally enjoy this pregnancy...unless I'm put on bed rest...knock on wood.

Great news, Ferne!
And that is so cool taht you are feeling so much movement! I can't wait! I assume once it really begins, you feel them every day??

I think that is true. I usually feel some movement everyday. But this is also my second so things are pretty well stretched out.

Great news Ferne!

I feel buldgy type movement when i lay on my back, otherwise not much at all.
