Hi ladies!!!! Happy Tuesday...I had a long weekend and enjoyed it very much!

Welcome mama.luv! Congrats on the twins!!!

I am up almost 8 pounds as of today. My jeans still fit but like wantb they are uncomfortable when I sit down...like the just squish into the worst spot! So...I think I will need to invest in my first pair of maternity pants.

I was home this weekend visiting and apparently I'm having a boy cause my butt looks bigger! Damit...I thought my butt was holding shape...maybe not!

My heart burn has gotten incredibly bad and Im starting to get some acid reflux now.

That's funny that your wedding dress has been in your trunk for two years...lol...I think that means you might be okay to sell it :)!

I'm just hoping that my wedding dress is going to fit...it still has not come in and my wedding is July 6th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

June 12th...hurry up so we can find out what we are having!!!

Have a great week everyone!

I don't know about you ladies but my dizzy spells sometimes are bad. When I get up from bed or chair, even slowly, my head starts spinning and things go dark and it takes a few seconds for it to clear up. That's orthostatic hypotension.

Anybody's heart beat stronger? While in resting, I mean. Then I find myself can't breathe and have to take in deep long breaths.

I'll be honest about something, though. I don't like being pregnant. My first I was in pain and ill all the time. This one, I'm tired, hips and lower Back hurt at the most random moments and it HURTS. I reeeaally hope things calm down so I can say I enjoy pregnancy.

You are describing me exactly....this is my first pregnancy and Im really glad Im going to be a mom, but I DO NOT like being pregnant. I dont like what it does to my body, so many things. Now that Im in 2nd tri Im starting to be more positive, but, I still dont enjoy it, Im glad Im not the only one.

I did not know about this thread. I'm always stalking the Trimester threads and the Twins/Multiples threads and overlooked this section.

I'm 33, DH is 34. I have a 16yr old son and DH has a 7yr old daughter. We are expecting fraternal twins on Nov 24th, but I'm sure they will be born a couple of weeks before then.

I noticed some of you guys are talking about working out during your pregnancy, well I planned on doing that as I was working out 3 times a week pre-pregnancy. BUT, I'm tired all of the time and just want to lay down. Thank goodness, I haven't put on any pounds yet. All I want to eat is fruits and salads, so I guess that's why. Ok, I won't blab on too much. It's going to be nice chatting with you guys throughout this pregnancy :)

Welcome, its great to have you!!! Working out is just now starting to get easier, I slept my first 1tri all the time and now im 17 weeks and starting to feel a bit normal, but now Im getting light headed a lot,s o...its a trade off. But so glad youre here and twins!!! so awesome


AFM- Move went GREAT! Couldnt have asked for anything better, but it definitely let me know what my body could handle and what it cant. Im EXHAUSTED! But so glad its done and everythings taken care of. It feels like home already and its so fun to think its where we'll be bringing our baby boy home :)

Still feeling light headed every now and then, but other than that, things are good. Ill take today to rest after moving and get back to working out :)

Hope you ladies had a great weekend!
 
Rockinmomtobe - you're not the only one. Many women feel this way. Some never just find that they like being pregnant. I like the concept of pregnancy, carrying a Lil life in you. It's the horrible, painful, achy changes that I don't enjoy. Thankfully, I'm beginning to feel a tad better though. Think my energy is starting to kick back up. Hopefully my libido will kick back up because poor OH has been doing manual labor - lol!
 
LOL. My libido is way up there but DH is too scared to do anything...grrrr

Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day. I had to work all day but it still turned out cool. Our cafeteria had a feast for the day, so I was able to stuff my face with bbq and sweets. Oh and watermelon too :) Yummy
 
Yeah and with my luck, my libido might kick back up right when I'm huge and OH won't wanna do it then. Men.
 
The sex drive is something Im glad to have back. Ive talked about it a little bit, but it was GONE! in the first trimester. Its back now and its soooo strange. My body has gone through some serious changes since then and with how self conscious I feel sometimes it makes things different is all....but at least OH still wants to lol :happydance:
 
My sex drive is still practically non existent. I was like a 16 year old boy before pregnancy and now I'd rather just go to bed! TMI: we DTD yesterday and I had to change positions constantly because it was so uncomfortable. Finally, when I found a position that kind of worked I could feel my uterus and baby move up and off to my right a little. It's was so weird feeling. After, I could feel the hardness of the baby, like its back or something. It's hard to describe? Maybe just the firmness of my uterus (but it wasnt firm on the left) It was kind of neat though. I even tried to hear the heart beat with my stethoscope to no avail.

Anyone else have issues with feeling like the baby is jostled and repositioned a little after bd?
 
Nah. Never had that feeling. Or....well, by then when I was pregnant with dd, I was already big and OH didn't want to "hurt the baby" so...don't have an interesting answer lol.
 
What are you ladies talking about? My sex drive was out of control since Day 1 of my pregnancy. Too bad my hubby is borderline asexual and would prefer to cuddle -- which is fine by me....sometimes.

Missjenn...a growing booty points to a baby boy? Wow! I must be having a boy then too. I don't know why my hips got soooo wide. I am excited to hear the results of your gender appointment!

Alchemist...it's funny you say that. I am 31 and this is my first pregnancy. I was a late bloomer out of pure fear, but in reality, I LOVE being pregnant. Love it. I can't wait until my next pregnancy because it's a great experience. I hope I don't speak too soon!
 
Therealdalia - girl, I'm glad you enjoy it. It's hard to fully enjoy it when things ache and crack. First pregnancy involved some bleeding. I forgot the nameto what had happened to me but I was put on bedrest. Then the nausea+ vomiting all day. Chicken and fish.stank baaaaaad! Lol! BUUUT, I can say this time, it's been nice to me haha. No other symptoms besides the fatigue, which is subsiding. There's the occasional hip pain. This pregnancy, I think I can say I kinda enjoy it. Yeah....

I love being pregnant too...but I had no issues....no sickness..no nothing...just heart burn...knock on wood! I guess Im one of the luck ones! I still do not feel pregnant...so I still have alot of anxiety in regards to whether or not baby is okay in there but Im staying way more positive now than before.

looking good :)
My belly definitely popped out this past week :blush:

I'm enjoying pregnancy so far despite being horribly sick for the first part
 
Thanks ladies. You all always make me feel good. Clearly when I update from my phone I don't pay attention to what I'm writing. Sorry for all the typos in the previous post lol:haha:
 
rockinmom - Cute bump!

As for me, I swear my bump hardened overnight! I keep feeling the baby's head or body or something in the form of hard lumps on my belly -- either on the right side or left side. Sometimes the "lump" disappears completely and it is super weird! I have been in awe all day feeling for the lump because it makes me feel like I'm touching my baby. I made my husband touch it three times and he never says no (which is so cute). I can't wait to feel it move. Either way, I hope this is normal!
 
How far along are you, Therealdalia? You don't have a ticker so I wasn't able to be nosy hehe.
