I'm really enjoying my Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy book... I haven't gotten near the labor and delivery part and probably won't, going by your recommendations, lol. But so far, I like the book. I have What To Expect also, but might not open it.

I'm not doing a home birth, but we happen to have a hospital 1 minute from our house (literally right behind us on the same piece of land pretty much) which is well known for its excellent maternity ward. I'm hoping the Army hospital I go to will approve a referral for me to go there instead, since it's so close by.

i was really sick yesterday. I threw up in the morning, thought it must be the start of MS, even though i didn't get sick with my other 2. But then i got chills and sweats and numbness and pain in my legs. And i could barely eat or drink. Then about 9pm i started to feel better. I woke up today and i feel decent? so weird. My milk suffered a bit, and the baby was very unsettled last night as he still nurses A LOT at night time. but im trying to get the liquids into me. Its still kinda slow - i don't seem to be able to manage more than a sip or two at a time...

I felt almost the exact same way yesterday. I never threw up but I woke up with the chills and sweats and my legs were aching. I could barely stand or walk. I didn't have an appetite at all. I forced myself to eat lunch (carrots and chips were the only thing that didn't make me gag) and I was a little hungry at dinner time so I had a small amount of mac and cheese and grilled chicken. I had diarrhea and horrible stomach pains about an hour later. Went to bed early. I feel a little better today, still cold (not really chills) and I am not hungry at all. Scared to eat right now. Called RE and nurse sent prescription for zofran and told me to try B6 first. She did tell me to drink as much water as I could handle. Hope you feel better!
 
Oh yes the lovely round ligament pain. That's the stretching pain you are feeling. I already have it too. I get it when I sneeze, cough, or move too quick.
 
I've been having quick bouts of nausea, but not actual morning sickness yet. I've been starving, but I think that might have more to do with getting a tooth pulled last week (3 days before I found out I was pregnant) and not really being able to eat anything solid (great timing, eh). I've had some stretching and cramping, but no spotting at all. Mainly, its just been sore boobies and extreme fatigue. It's taking all I have to stay awake right now, since I'm in the middle of my work shift, and no one here knows anything. Although, they might figure it out since I haven't been drinking coffee and I quit smoking. :p

My thoughts are with all the ladies worrying right now. I hope for a H&H 9 months for all of us.
 
Just a suggestion but I thought it might be fun to add the :yellow: stork next to each of our names on the first page and as we find out what we are having we can change them to :blue: or :pink: or even keep them :yellow: if it's a surprise. :)

We could also do a running total for how many growing bumps then how many boy and girl bumps we have.
:) if you look at October bumpkins you will see what I'm talking about. I created that thread but left when I found out I was Misvarrying. Anyway just a suggestion I just thought it would be fun to keep track of who is who.
 
Good idea. I don't plan to find out at my 20 week scan, but DH wants to. We'll see!

That's cool living 1 minute away from a hospital. I'd personally be far more likely to want a homebirth in that situation because you'd get the comfort and advantages of labouring and birthing at home, with only being a minute away in case you need to transfer. :haha: Sounds ideal!
 
I am on my prenatals! Sorry I forget who asked that. Lynnikins maybe? Lol. But yes. I've been on them since I found out. I was a little lax taking them while TTC lol.

I like the stork idea!

Who is finding out and who isn't?

We are. Hubby begged me to let him find out and I know if he knows it'll never be kept secret. His mom will beat the baby's sex out of him and then it'll somehow slip to me. LOL. So we will find out together if baby cooperates!
 
I'm taking my prenatals every morning. I'm sure that time frame will change if ms kicks in.
I admire the people that can control themselves enough to keep the gender a surprise. I'm one of those people that need to know everything, I don't handle not being in control very well.
I'm hoping for a little girl, since I already have a little boy, and when I asked DS if he wanted a little brother or little sister, he said little sister. He doesn't know that one is on the way though. I would still be happy with a little boy though, mainly I just want a healthy little one.

Are you guys waiting to tell, or have you already told, or a mixture of both?
Our plan is to wait until after the first trimester, I might let it slip to my mom before that though, its already tempting to tell her whenever I talk to her, and I'm only 5 weeks.

Great idea I'll look into that xx
 
I've told my best friend and I'll have to tell work on Saturday but no one else.
We were strongly team yellow with ds and I'm undecided if we want to find out this time.
Xx
 
I am sorry for your loss MissPriss <3

I like the stork idea :) we are finding out and we are planning on having a gender reveal. I want a cake with "waddle it be?" Written on it and decorated with yellow duckies. We were at fun fare yesterday and hubby caught a stuffed duckie so we are keeping it for baby :)

I started taking my pre-natals since we started ttc last year and stopped for a week a few months ago when I was a bit deflated about the whole ttc business.

I had a c-section with DD and chances are that I might have it again if the doctor doesn't agree to a vbac which I hope to have this time.

I said to hubby I seriously need to get new comfy pants. I have no idea what it is, but I am so bloated and feels uncomfortable when there is pressure on my lower tummy. You would think I am 20 weeks already! I just want to wait until docs appointment Monday before I go buy clothes.

Anyone else peeing like crazy? Feels like I need to go all the time!!
 
So today was a great day. We saw our baby and it is right where it should be. In the uterus, no ectopic! I do have a corpus luteum cyst which is normal and common in first trimester. She showed me on the ultrasound. That's why I am feeling cramps on the right side. It should shrink as the placenta takes over eventually. Such relief. And we saw the heart beating! It was 139bpm and she said that is a perfect number. I can finally relax. We aren't out if the woods but the chance of miscarriage drops dramatically after this point. So glad.

We are telling immediate family and a couple close friends now that we have seen the heartbeat. Then will wait to tell others until end of first trimester. I figure if we miscarry, these are the people we would want support from.
 
That's great, imphope. Glad you got good news, and got to hear the heartbeat :)
 
Angelbaby_01- oh my yes. I'm impressed if I can make it 2 hours without running to the washroom. Usually its every 30-60minutes I'm in there peeing.
 
I love the stork idea! I would be more willing to wait but my hubby is set on finding out the gender. I am sure it is a boy though.
 
angel - That's a cute idea.

imphope - Wonderful news!

We will find out the gender. We always do. No hope of us being surprised. Too impatient. Lol.

We won't tell anyone until we are further along.

Going to the restroom constantly is what tempted me to test a day before I had planned. Today it doesn't seem quite as much as it has been, but still more than the norm for me.
 
We want to find out the sex. I think I would go crazy if I didn't know lol. I'm a bit OCD and would want everything to be perfect for when bubba arrives. OH & I would love a girl as we have a boy but would obviously be happy either way. As long as bubba is healthy that's all that matters :)

I started taking pregnacare last Monday when I got my BFP! & yup needing to go toilet a lot..
