Canada- Well... I'll be having my 4th planned C-section LOL

Angela - I am showing

But did you have a c section in the past? I always hear once you have had it once, you have to do it again. I'm talking about ones where ppl do it just because......in Canada for those types of c sections you pay big bucks so I don't understand why ppl pay or it unessecarily and go through the whole recovery. But to each their own....just so expensive

 

[Canada8]

Xsin- so nice congrats! That's exciting!

I'm slc- I'm showing too! I'm shocked I am already because I wasn't with my first, but I guess cause it is my second pregnancy....I feel I look 4 1/2 months instead of 13 wks

 

[SLCMommy]

Canada - Yeah, I wanted to do VBACS but I never went into labor naturally and the hospital i was at didn't induce vbac mommies so now I'm a c-sections till. LOL


Where I am from, I am now in my 2nd trimester because I am 13 weeks. SOOO exciting!

 

[Canada8]

Me too! Yeah!!!

 

[SLCMommy]

Canada - Even though I'm still feeling icky, knowing that I am in the 2nd trimester gives me some mental relief knowing that even IF I continue to feel sick, I am that much closer to being done.

When is everyones next prenatal appointment? Mine is January 19th. It would be a little sooner, but my doctor is on vacation until than. I imagine it will be a regular check-up, but I know around 13-16 weeks, you can opt for some genetic blood tests. I'm not sure if I am going to take it or not. I guess I only will if my doctor brings it up. At this appointment, I'm also pretty sure I will be scheduling my anatomy scan for February woo-hoo.

 

[Canada8]

My 16 wk blood work is in 3 wks and my next prenatal is the 20th, and my gender ultrasound is feb22, but I may do a private scan the first wk of feb because I'm impatient lol

 

[SLCMommy]

Love.

 

[Bug222]

my next appt is Jan 17th where I will get to meet my OB.. i am transferring from my family Dr to the OB. Then next u/s around 19 weeks... can't wait!!

 

[SLCMommy]

Bug - Yayyyy!!!!! What are you ladies hoping for? team blue or team pink?

 

[xSin]

January 31st is my next appointment with my midwife & I'm hoping for Team Blue! Although with the way today is going with my OH, maybe I should be hoping for Team Pink instead... (My OH is being a typical stubborn pigheaded man)

 

[Bug222]

im hoping team pink and hubby is hoping team blue!!! lol

 

[Canada8]

Im hoping or team pink, but not sure if my hubby produces xx lol! He already has 2 boys! He is dying for a girl cause the boys are my little princes! Any is fine as Lon as 100% healthy.

This evening, I've been feeling kinda shitty . Little heart burn, headache and slight nausea! Come on second tri, be nice! Lol

 

[SLCMommy]

Canada - I hope everything smoothes out for EVERYONE LOL!!

My DH doesn't have a gender preference, but deep inside I'd LOVE to be team pink

 

[angieloo]

Canada: hope you're feeling better soon!

I'm finally settled back in after crazy end of year stuff at work. We keep going window shopping we agreed not to buy anything until we know the gender, but it is fun to look at all the cute stuff.

Our next apt is in two weeks, but we don't find out the gender till 20 weeks seems so far away!

 

[SLCMommy]

angieloo - same here! I can't wait for Feb to come!!


Is anyone starting to have round ligament pain? I'm also starting to have feet and hip pain. I feel like I'm 90, lol

 

[EWebb]

My next appt. is the 20th. I did all the bloodwork last week and will do all the genetic tests this week. We won't find out the sex for another 7 weeks

 

[EWebb]

Yes round ligament pain here!!

 

[SLCMommy]

I just noticed that my next appointment is in ten days.
I'm soo excited!!!!

 

[AngelaSD]

Morning!

I have a Dr Appointment this friday...yup FRIDAY THE 13TH! lol
I will be almost 16 weeks so Im HOPING the babe will show its "stuff" off so we can see if its a HE or SHE Some women can find out as early as 15 weeks! Oh it would be soooo awesome I cant WAIT! Otherwise I go in the last week of January to find out

I JUST started having ligament pains on Friday pretty bad and almost the entire day. I (sorry if I repeat myself) have high blood pressure and was not "okayed" to work out (Im a gym girl, and a faithful yoga girl been just walking til now) until JUST recently so I started back at the gym this weekend, Saturday went to pilates class and then cardio, Sunday went to Yoga and did cardio and feel so much better! I really got a good stretch in both days and helped with the "grwoing stretching" pains - they are NOT fun! I almost feel like...I can actualyl FEEL my insides moving - ugh! My girlfriend who is 2 weeks ahead of me has had them for a couple weeks straight now.

What about sleeping for you girls? I JUST started this weekend to teach myself to sleep on my left side -SO HARD needless to say I have had sleepless nights since. I am a tummy sleeper and a side sleeper AND JUST in the last year taught myself to sleep on my back and now cant do that either! lol. Any secrets to making this more pleseant?

 

[ktskittle]

Canada: I hope it passes soon for you! That was the WORST!
Sorry about the ligament pains many of you have been having. I get random pains that go away when I change positions on occasion, but that's it. Also, it seems like the morning sickness has been replaced by daily afternoon headaches (but I will take that over nausea any day!) Good Luck Friday, Angela! I have an appointment Monday and have my fingers crossed BIG TIME that I can begin working out as I have been on the NO list since conception. =( I feel like I am getting out of shape in advance of when I need to be in the best shape of my life! lol Even if I can just do some (substantial) walking, I will feel better!
