Due in Sept 2013 looking for bump buddies

Next apt is Monday!

So has anyone else got people like coworkers,friends, family commenting on how they look? I've had a coworker tell me "you're big already". Who tells a women she is big and especially a pregnant women?! Then today "are you feeling okay the past couple days you've been very pale". They sure know how to make a girl feel good.. NOT! I just don't see why people would think those are okay things to say to someone.

Haha!! Yes! I have gotten both of those comments this week. "Oh your showing already...look at that belly....you look pale and need to go lay down" lol! Oh well I guess we better get used to it.

That's not anything a pregnant woman wants to hear! Lol! I've been getting the you're showing already comments from my sisters which doesn't bother me but if a co-worker or anyone else said something i would have been a bit offended but I really don't think people know they are being rude but rather think they sounding complimentary or concerned. Don't worry I'm sure you look great!!!

Sasha: I can't wait to see what we are all having and if bpm rally plays a factor! My sizer had a girl and I think she said her heartbeats were always in the high 160's. at your next appt ask them what your baby's bpm is and see if they can guess the sex!

 

[gatorj]

I swear people don't think before they speak..who says things like that to pregnant women? It is just rude!! As if you won't be gaining weight, or getting bigger, or feeling like crap on any given day!?!?! Sorry ladies! People are messed up!

Good Luck tomorrow!! Lets us know how it goes. They say the 2nd tri is the best because you start to feel like yourself again so I'm glad to hear your nausea and fatigue have almost gone away!

Had a doc. apt today and got to hear the heartbeat with the doppler it has slowed down to 150. I asked the doc if he thought boy or girl but he woudln't make a guess. He said the sex based on heart rate is only right 50% of the time. thought I'd give it a try. He also said once you hear the heart beat and everything the chance of a miscarriage is very low. Even said I could go ahead and tell ppl "put it on your facebook" he said lol if I felt comfortable. Feeling better to know everything is looking good! Don't go back for another 4 weeks.

I know I wish I could hear it every night! I'm going to wait to announce it on FB. I think it would be fun to wait till I know the sex too. I def have to wait till I tell some of my close friends first, they would be upset to find out via FB.

Hey ladies, sorry I haven't been on, having computer issues.

So happy I am in second trimester YAY!

We were supposed to have the NT scan on Thursday but they screwed up our appointment and now I am too far along for it.

Next appointment is on monday, hopefully I can get a refferal to get into the midwife program.

Who still has the dreaded m/s? I have still been getting it everyday, but not as bad as I was, tahnkfully.

Whoo hoo! I'm so glad to be in the second trimester too (offically tomorrow i will be 12wks). GL at your appt on Monday and getting into a midwife program! Not too many americans have a midwife so i'm really not sure what getting into a program like that is all about. No m/s here but i wish i had some symptoms tho because the lack of them was driving me crazy!!

Doesn't the 2nd trimester start in week 13? I'm so confused. So ready to be out of the 1st trimester!

Yay! Great news! I've heard of women actually buying a Doppler for home do they are able to hear the HB whenever they want. I think that would drive me crazy though. I love hearing the little ones HB so much though. Can't wait for my anatomy scan at month 5 so I can finally know what sex the baby is. So exciting!

Yes it does....I think lol! You've completed the first trimester at exactly 12 weeks and start the second trimester from 12wk 1 day and so on. I'm 12 weeks 3 days now and fertility friend says 2nd trimester under the pregnancy tracker.

Glad to hear you ladies are doing good! I gave an appointment tomorrow. They are doing the NT scan. Nervous and hoping everything is good with baby!

Glad everyone is doing well. Wish I could join the feeling better in 2nd tri club. I'm not as tired but tummy trouble is worse. Next appnt is this Thursday so fingers crossed.

I have a question for everyone... The prenatal vitamins I've been taking give me terrible stomach cramps and the nurse at my Dr office hasn't been very helpful finding a new kind. What brand do you use? Any suggestions would be very helpful.

 

[Mimzy3]

Might be a silly question but what is a NT scan? I think second tri starts at 13 weeks but thats just what my doc said I've read diff things as well. 40/3 is 13.33 so I would say around 13 weeks.

I was thinking of buying a doppler but I know if I couldn't find the HB for some reason I would go crazy, so I think I'll hold off. lol

I still feel nauseous every now and then but haven't actually "got sick" in a while. Doc gave me some nausea medication that I take sometimes too though.

As far as prenatal vitamins I just take the kind my doc prescribed sorry not much help. I assume you already know this but make sure you have some food in your tummy before you take them and I take mine with milk to help coat the stomach as well.

I take Nature Made prenatals. They're big red gel capsules. I get them at Walmart and target. They're easy to swallow and don't upset my belly. I take them with my dinner every night and that works well for me. Hope I've helped!
