Due Sept 2017

[Tess08]

Same here miss caviar. 14 and a half weeks now but still dealing with nausea every day. Look forward to feeling normal again! Got our gender scan booked for 9th April can't wait to know so we can start buying and also start clearing out some of my daughters old things if it's a boy! Feel like we have absolutely no space in the house x

The beginning of the second trimester is scary like that, but it's really common for symptoms to go away, like the others said. I still have moments of sickness here and there but it's mostly better, so it's only really obvious to me that I'm pregnant if I try to walk too much. We went to the zoo yesterday, then book shopping and grabbed a few groceries, and I was really feeling it in my hips. It's so much better when there's regular movement.

Anyone short of breath? I remember this happened around the same time with my son and I think I remember it has something to do with hormones and blood flow but man, you'd think I was 9 months pregnant the way I loose my breath over the smallest thing.

I'm so short of breath all the time! Even a staircase is an obstacle. My hubby gives me such a hard time about it…

This is my first pregnancy, so I don't know what to expect - is it normal for my stomach/bloat to look like a baby bump already? I know exactly where my uterus and baby are, because they're harder, and they don't really show (too low still), but on the other hand, my stomach/intestines (up higher) are huge right now. When I eat, it gets even bigger, and I look quite pregnant… It's bizarre!

Yeah mines does the same thing everyone keeps saying you look pregnant now or I'm showing and I keep thinking it's literally just my guts that are pushed out because my love bug is still low lol

Bought our pram today, was going to wait a bit longer before buying it, but there was only 1 store near me that had the one I wanted in stock. Only another 25 weeks to wait before I go out for a walk with a baby in it

 

[Babybump2017]

I'm also short of breath! And getting the worst headaches too.

 

[MrsKChicago]

I hate the headaches. I only get them when baby's going through a big growth spurt, about once a month or so. My midwife just suggested magnesium (400mg I think) and some extra calories on those days. If yours are really frequent it's worth mentioning to your doctor, it could be a blood pressure issue.

 

[gingmg]

Yes headaches! Didn't put it together with pregnancy.

Impatient and rockstar- Me too! True bump or bloat, it's probably adorable! Wear it proudly!

 

[lilmisscaviar]

Tess - Good luck at your scan! Not much longer now

I've only started getting headaches when I hit 12 weeks for some reason. My doctor said it is due to hormones trying to stabilize themselves.

I'm with you ladies who are short on breath. I feel like I weigh 500 lbs. or something because I get out of breath doing something even as simple as sweeping the floor or doing the dishes.

Congrats on the new pram Dani! Always exciting when you finally start shopping for baby

Thanks and I try to its funny when my mom says look your belly is finally bigger than your boobs to me I don't know why...

OAN: im officially 16 weeks pregnant and have a doctors appt tomorrow I don't know why but im still just as nervous for this appt as I was for my first ob.

 

[Savasanna]

I was kind of nervous for my last check in, too (14 weeks). Probably not AS nervous as the first, but still on the "oh, please. oh, please. oh please!" level. haha. I'm sure I'll feel the same way as I sit down for our ultrasound. Only 1 week 4 days to go!

 

[ladybrown33]

I'm having headaches and I am ready to take a nap after lunch, I wish I could work part time

 

[Babybump2017]

I think it's normal to get super nervous, isn't it?
I get nervous before every midwife appt, I was a shaking mess on the verge of tears before my 12 week ultrasound! (Probably because of what I saw last pregnancy at the 12 weeker), I was even scared before my gender ultrasound. And I mean literally nearly being sick. We care so much about our precious beans, it's only natural to worry right up until the day they're in our arms and then I've been told the worry is even worse when they're here! God help us

 

[Babybump2017]

Also for the headaches I know we get it here in the UK I'm not sure if you guys in the states do but I went out on my lunch break today, with another banging headache! And invested in one of those '4head' sticks and it did work wonders! I've got one at work now and one at home. Give it a go

Has anyone thought of names yet? I think it's between 2 for us. Jaden George or Frankie George. I haven't found a single other name that I like let alone love. I had a list of about 20 for girls! Not so many for boys!

 

[Savasanna]

Ohhhh - what's your girl list?

We can't settle on a name yet. If we were to adopt the kiddo we're caring for then we'd change her name. We picked out a name for her.. but nothing for the bean just yet. It's a struggle..

 

[Tess08]

I'm not suffering from any headaches thankfully but at 15 weeks the sickness isn't going away! I just attempted my first cup of tea in weeks and it's safe to say, baby did not like it

Does everyone have bumps already? I didn't get one till about 22 weeks with my daughter but I expected things to grow quicker this time round! I looked like I was getting a bump last week and then this week it's disappeared lol :S I'm thinking I must just have been bloated last week. I've actually lost half a stone in weight due to feeling so sick and not being able to eat much. Midwife is happy with baby's size tho so she's not concerned x

 

[Savasanna]

I have a bit of a bump - still not noticeable to a stranger but it looks huge to me because I know what my body usually looks like. To a stranger it probably just looks like I have a bit of a belly. haha. I don't know, I also tend to wear looser fitting sweaters - If I wore something fitted you would be able to see it as it's all toward the front and not what a typical "belly" would look like.

Oy, I don't know if it's pregnancy related but I did end up with a HUGE headache yesterday/last night that sadly did not go away from sleeping. I finally had to take something this morning for it because it was still so bad and waking up with a headache is never a good sign. I sort of blame you guys because I was fine before you all started talking about headaches yesterday.

 

[ladybrown33]

Maybe the headaches are contagious...

I still worry about my two year old while he is out of my sight every day so the worry will never really go away.

Names I have nothing for names, I may need to get one of those books of names at this point.
