:winkwink: hey welcome back Jen. I am sorry to hear about growth issues, i kind of feared that your absense was due to some stress :hugs:
Thanks for the update heheh it looks more cheerful this way :happydance::happydance:.
you may need to add some :blue: icons to the list. One next to my name please.
 
Thanks girls! Other than the sickness etc. the pregnancy is actually going really well! They've had to switch me back to the meds that I'm not "allowed" any longer until they can get some advice from a specialist at the hospital. I was still sick on cyclizine - the pressure just made my nose bleed and ruptured blood vessels and the phenergan knocked me out for 24 hours. Please let the specialist say I can stay on Reglan for a while longer - I'm not sick on it and don't have any side effects.

Glad to hear everyone is doing ok! I will try and check in more often. Are there any ladies still on the list that have lost their little angels and need removing? I think everyone who has replied has been updated.
 
I believe shey lost her angel too, but believe she is preggo again!
 
So I'm getting mixed messages about the size of my bump.

Yesterday I met a girl I know in town, who hadn't seen me since I've been pregnant. She said "You're due in December? I wouldn't have thought you were that far on, you're so neat!!".

Unknown to me, at exactly the same time, a (female) colleague of DH's walked past me (I didn't notice her at all!). She said to DH later "Tell Anne she was looking fabulous yesterday, but that baby is going to be big, her bump is enormous!".

That was two separate people at EXACTLY the same time!!
 
Welcome winter!

Con, don't listen to others. But people tell me my bump is big, and say that I look good and am neat...the same people saying this. Some people think they know it all, but usually when people say you're neat, they mean your bump shape is nice and round and not a hot mess. I don't know how people say that me, cause I feel a hot mess some days, but they do. Then when I get on the scales at my doctor they never org me for as heavy as I weigh or think I've gained 15lbs. I guess I carry it well...I don't know... but there's no set rule. My mil says "I'm not sloppy" like belly wise...I dont know, I tend to ignore people when they start talking about my bump size.
 
Con, I agree with No doubt. Don't pay attention what others say, listen to your dr. You can not tell the size of the baby fro the size of the belly, waters, blood volume, placenta, your abdominal fat..

My dr. yesterday told me "you are 20 weeks and your baby is still small". I am thinking he is big, compare weeks ago!

I just came back from the dentist and she told me I have gingivitis. I have never had it in my life and it's pregnancy related, the hormones thickens saliva and more bacteria get trapped in. She suggested to do a professional teeth cleaning now and before the birth. I did. My teeth feel so wondeful. Also, she looked at my teeth w/o x-rays she could see 3 cavaties but she is only 60% sure we'll wait till the birth to look at those closer. The bad news is that she suggests to pull out my 2 wisdom teeth cos they have cavaties and it's really hard to fix them. This is insane, I have to pull my teeth, when they don't cause me discomfort.
My dr. told me to clean my teeth everytime I eat 2 min after. I have to floss 2 times a day, listerine is a pregnancy safe liquid.
Another tip she gave me, don't lay down on your back after 7 months of pregnancy. If you go to a dentist you have to tell them to incline the seat.
Ladies watch for your teeth and take care of them very well!
 
I had mine cleaned at dentist recently and it made my gums so sore and bleed - felt great after it though!

Good tip re: chair, also if you're gagging a lot and struggling at dentist bend your knees, it creases your stomach muscles so you can't be sick.

Just had my sickness meds changed again, on Zofran now which isn't working as well as Reglan but better than Cyclizine or Phenergan lol! Unfortunately the two days I was sick this week I lost another 2lb. I'm only 8lb down from pre pregnancy which isn't too bad though (I managed to gain a little back on Reglan on an all inclusive holiday).

You really can't tell baby's size from bump. I carried much bigger and wider with DD#1 and this baby at the minute looks to be a little bigger than she was.
 
Dov, that sucks, but I know women have dental issues during pregnancy cause the baby sucks everything from you, like your calcium which strengthens your teeth. I didn't have a problem with my son and wo far we're looking good here with this one. Glad they caught it. As far as the wisdom teeth most dentist say to pull them regardless of it they cause you discomfort because they're truly pointless and actually crowd your mouth. I had Mike pulled when I was 19, and I wasn't having any issues. My dentist at the time said its better to pull them early as pulling them later fan be more difficult and at the time I was getting to later side, lol. I say have them pulled, but it's obviously up to you. Some people keep them forever and don't have problems.
 
peah, people also say i look like 7 months pregnant or more. I am a small person, my body (torso?) is small so the baby does not have much space to go hehe as a result i have a huge belly.

With pregnancy, I started to eat "healthy", my nurse suggested that i should eat whole grain bread, 2 slices or more. :devil: That's the culprit of my huge weight gain. I rarely ate bread before. I think this will be me in the 3rd trimester:

So bored of the dreams now. Tonight it was a zombie apocalypse..... The other night I dreamt about giant cobble stones. They're just bizarre lol
 
I'm having crazy dreams too and I'm quite tired of them myself. At least I'm still sleeping well enough though.
 
HI ladies, I was just catching up. We are all well into our 2nd trimester how awesome!!!

about teeth: I was eating some chips the other day and I felt a crunch... a piece of my tooth came out with the filling... GLORIOUS! I have an appointment next week to go fix it because my molar is now exposed and it could create havoc. I have a tendency to get cavities no matter how much I brush and floss...
about wisdom teeth: If you can get them all pulled at the same time, its the best. I did all 4 at the same time and I dont remember anything. It was great. Also my two wisdom teeth had cavities because they were so far back and hard to brush... only solution left to do.

dreams: OH man..... lets not even go there. Im having sex with all kind of people in my dreams... oh and sharpening pencils and zombies and food dreams.. WOW!

I was nt very hungry up until the last week, now I feel like I could empty out a whole fridge... all i want to do is eat eat eat eat. anyone else on this boat?
