March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

Anyone else suffering from crazy heart burn?? I keep getting it at night to the point it makes me feel sick.. Nothing is helping it :(

ugh, me too! I've had a cough the last week or so too, which doesn't help...Zantac pretty much gives me 100% relief. My midwife gave me a script in my 1st tri because I had heartburn sooooo bad weeks 6-12.
 
No heartburn for me (yet), just the nausea. And of course constipation is still an on going battle! :dohh: I would love a couple days of the 'opposite issue' to clear things out!!!! Eeeewwww. :haha: I was eating for 2 adults the last month or two myself!!!! Now I don't want to eat at all :shrug: Seeing my doc for a check in this morning so we'll see what he says...

Lou - that is SO weird about a stranger sharing your pic, potentially as her own!
 
I can totally relate to the hip/pelvic/etc pain! I thought maybe it was from traveling/flying/sleeping in a different bed over Thanksgiving until I saw alot of you are experiencing it too. Now I think it might just be the stage we are all at in pregnancy.

I got my bloodwork results back from the 1hr glucose yesterday, not good... I failed it :cry: so now have to do the three hour test on Monday. I am just hoping that I do not end up having GD... Like I said i had a high BMI going in, although my weight gain has been less than they like, if anything, through the pregnancy, and a huge family history of diabetes and a few people who had GD. My husband says it is okay and we will deal with it... the one thing I haven't been doing enough of is walking/exercising because I don't get home from work until late and am exhausted, and now hurting, at the end of the day. We are going to start walking together most evenings whether or not I end up passing the 3 hour test.

I am also slightly anemic, which I was wondering about because my energy is SO low. Because I am already on a prenatal with iron they just want me to try to add more iron-rich foods to my diet.

I feel like I have been handed a huge blow. I know a lot of people fail the one hour and then pass the 3 hour so I am trying to be positive. If I fail the 3 hour we just deal with it and try to keep baby and Mama as healthy as possible but still.

My mood has been crap the last two days anyway and getting these results have not helped. I am worried about me, I am worried about baby, I am angry at my body... I am angry that this pregnancy directly followed a miscarriage so it has been wrought with intense fear of losing this baby as well (we lost the first baby very very early on.) I am angry at myself for still grieving the baby we lost even though I am so in love with my little Emily who is growing snug inside of me. (I attend a pregnancy after loss support group once a month, and it helps, helps me to realize the feelings I feel are normal but it is hard to not just feel like "I should be over it" and happy because I am pregnant again... but this child does not replace the one that we lost... they are our two separate babies.)

I am angry that it seems like this pregnancy is complication after complication that, thankfully, seem to be being managed fine thanks to being followed closely and having good care. I've been sick and sore and miserable and, mostly, I just want her to be okay. I am struggling with being "out of control" with my body... I think part of the intensity of this has to do with being in recovery (for about 7 years) from anorexia/bulimia and other issues from my past... one minute I am fine/happy/so in love with my bump and the next minute I just feel so out of control at all these changes/sensations.

I am just really struggling lately... don't get me wrong I love my baby and feel so blessed to have her growing safely inside of me but I am so full of thoughts and fears and emotions... I am afraid I won't be able to bring her to term safely, I am afraid I won't be a good mother, etc, etc , etc...

Sorry for venting... I just needed to get some of this out and thank you for reading/listening.

On a brighter note, as I am typing this she is squirming all around in there to remind her Mama that she is okay and that it will be okay.
 
My eldest sister once had the cheek to cut out a picture of my as a baby (with my mum) and went around telling her friends she had had a baby! Made me so cross as there aren't many pictures of me as a newborn with my mum, early 80s so photos were still expensive and rare compered to today anyway. i Just don't get the mentality of people who do that! Hope you get to the bottom of it.

Hmmm I haven't tried Zantac yet.. Maybe when I go see my ob on the 17th I can ask her.. The tums only gives me relief for a few minutes same with milk
 
Amy B Sorry your feeling this way. I think sometimes things got on top of us and its harder to cope. The way you feel is normal I am sure as I have felt/thought some of these things too. Do you have a good support network?

I have to have the 3 hour glucose test on Friday and am not looking forward to it and like you am worried about what happens if I fail. I don't like the thought of having to have medication but am trying to be positive until I know for sure.

Its a great feeling having baby move around makes me smile every time.

Hope your test goes ok, thinking of you :kiss:
 
I don't think i have ever written in here lol! just thought i would say hi!! im due the 1st March 2013 with a baby boy!! first baby!!

Tried to read a few of the comments but there are so so many lol! I guess all i can say is that my current symptoms consist of:

Random appetite - not always hungry and then i cant decide what i want when i am hungry!
I seem to dribble more in my sleep! when i can actually get some sleep that is! i wake up more than i sleep right now! which is annoying as i was getting such good sleep only a few weeks ago!
My BACK!! OMG everyday by about 6pm my lower or upper back seems to have gone! i then struggle to get comfy on the sofa, or in bed and i cant get up and down the stair very well lol!

OTHERWISE i'm great :)
 
Hi Bladesgirl, welcome! We share a due date for our boys :)

I'm with you, I feel like a drooling fool the few times I actually fall into a solid sleep haha.
 
Amy I'm so sorry you failed the first test, hopefully all is well for the 3 hour test. I just did my 1 hour test today so I'm a bit nervous as well.

Just try to remain positive that although things seem to be rough during this pregnancy that things will still turn out great and you'll have your little one in your arms soon.
 
Heartburn is full force for me now! I've never had heartburn before in my life, but it showed up just before Thanksgiving and now returns every night :( My nausea is not bad anymore, which is wonderful. Except for when I eat cinnamon toast crunch....then I'm pretty much instantly sick.

Anyone struggling with the "fun" symptoms of sciatica? I find the baby will lay on my nerve for 2-3 days at a time, making walking super painful and really unsure ("when I take this step, will my leg give out?"), but then he'll move and it will be a week or two before he puts himself back there. This I can deal with. I'm very much hoping he doesn't get comfortable there and refuse to move!

I'm definitely a hungry pregnant thing all of a sudden, too. I don't even WANT to know what I weigh now. I'm sure it's more than I'm willing to have knowledge of. So hungry!
 
really having a hard time ladies, i tried to go shopping last night and i got so discouraged, all my clothes dont fit obviously.... but all my non pregnant friends get to look sexy and fabulous :( i just want my baby to be here and to have my body back and lose the stretch marks. On the bright side my mom has been planing a baby shower and i'm excited for that as well as christmas :)
 
Whoop whoop 27 weeks today........hello 3rd trimester :dance:

Xx
 
woken up to snow this morning :)
woohoo 3rd trimester for me too tomorow :)
 
Athena- I have had bad sciatica off and on.. It seems I get a few days of it then it goes away for a bit,. I had it really bad at the beginning of 2nd tri.. So far since my lo has switched positions I've been good.. I googled stretches and they seem to help a bit.. I also use a heating pad when it gets bad

Congrats on 3rd tri ladies!!
 
no snow here, just bitterly bitterly cold =( Stuff going on with little man, so being pregnant has kinda slipped my mind lol! apart from the bump, and finding clothes lol!
oo third trimester for me on Sunday =) xxx
 
Heartburn is full force for me now! I've never had heartburn before in my life, but it showed up just before Thanksgiving and now returns every night :(

My heartburn was *really* bad the first tri...The whole time I thought it was just nausea, took the occasional anti-nausea med and it wouldn't do anything. My throat kept feeling sort of tight, so I tried Tums and it'd help for a very little while. So I told my midwife about it and she gave me Zantac (you can buy it over the counter too! Mine was the Zantac 150, but it comes in 75 too) and it was practically INSTANT relief. It left around 12/13wks. But it's weird, mine starting coming back a bit right around Thanksgiving too....so I've had to take a Zantac in the evening a few nights a week now
 
AmyB - I think you are feeling things that all of us are feeling on certain days. It all IS a very scary process! We may have different histories and be facing different issues in specific at the moment but it's all super stressful and you're right to get it all out as bottling it all inside won't do you any good. There are days where I tell my husband that I wish I could just take the bump off for a few hours and if he wouldn't mind carrying it for a bit. He laughs but I know he's also a bit taken aback…but it SUCKS! It hurts! I'm tired too…we all are…and that's why we're all here to support each other through the bad days :hugs: I don't know much about GD but I do hope that it will be something you won't have to worry about…GL on Monday and big big hugs to you!
:hug:

sportys - did you fail the one hour test or do you have history of GD? How come you're doing the 3 hour test? Good luck to you on Friday!!!! :hugs:

Welcome bladesgirl! :hi: Based on your symptoms, you've come to the right place - we're all there with you!!! :winkwink:

Athena - the amount of sugar in cinnamon toast crunch will make anyone nauseated on an empty stomach! :haha: Or maybe it's just the cinnamon that I don't like…my bean chills on my nerve every few days and the sciatica is bad where I have trouble walking or moving from standing to sitting and vice versa but then she moves and it's better. Same thing just every few days it changes rather than weeks.

Heaven - there are days where I feel like nothing fits and I just want to cry. Mainly, those are days when I need to put on something nice to meet friends for dinner or what not…I'm much happier in my Gap yoga pants!!!! It's hard to watch your body change…and they DO have some cute sexy preggo stuff…have you ever looked on ASOS? They are an online website that has a pretty nice maternity section of trendy clothes. Check it out!


27 weeks tomorrow! :happydance: CANNOT believe the third tri is at my front doorstep! I'm not ready!!!!!!!!! We really need to get that crib ordered….
 
MrsChezek in my area they go on your BMI, I am not that heavy but am in a high category so have to go straight for the longer test. I am dreading it and will be glad when its over!

Great to see you heard some hiccups!

Hope all is well for you. xxx
