November 2013 Babies!

[missjenn]

I think the time drags because we are so consumed with worry....and have to wait for each dr appointment for reassurance that all is well!!

Im telling you ladies, now is the time to clean out the house, and finish the photo albums! It makes the time go by faster are you ladies on a work out program?

 

[Rockinmomtobe]

Work is actually keeping me very busy this week, so not too much worry, but yes, still dragging a little. Just anxious to see that heartbeat!

TLK- Im at the gym as often as I can, before I got pregnant that was 6 days a week, now its more like 4 because Im soooo tired and nauseous. But I did read that working out can help decrease morning sickness, so, Im trying to push myself a little more. I feel better going and Ive read about lots of benefits about exercise during pregnancy

Hello! Congrats to everyone expecting in November!
I am 23, my fiance is 22 (23 at the end of the month) and this is our second pregnancy (first was m/c)
We are both really nervous but also very excited and feeling much more positive than last time!
I told my fiance right after the BFP appeared. He has wanted to have a baby as long as I have an since we are in this together I couldn't keep it from him... and I am AWFUL at secrets anyway.

Congrats and welcome!!!! Hows everyone feeling today?

AFM- Im a little nervous about my appt today, but excited too. and....(TMI alert) Ihave the WORST gas...and smelly! Its soooo terrible. Please tell me Im not the only one lol

 

[Storked]

Welcome larval so sorry for your previous loss. This is my pregnancy after a miscarriage too

Rock, I have gas but I can't recall passing any of it. Must be why I am cramping

 

[missjenn]

Good luck today Jenn! Make sure to pop back on and tell us how it went!

I woke up with super sharp pains in my side last night (after a sneeze) and it lasted 3-4 seconds...geez...and now I still feel panicked about it. My boos aren't as sore as they were yesterday and now I think that's a bad sign.

I am going to drive myself absolutely mad!

No gas here....did last week though!

Hello ladies!

I'm new to the forum-5 +2 with my 2nd pregnancy- My first resulted in ectopic a few years back...
Because of my history I have a six week scan booked for the 18th so really hoping I see the little one in the right place- am very anxious!

Would love to share details, symptoms and advice

Right now I have a terrible habit of running to Google for every little symptom i have which of course increases the risk of me coming across some real horror stories!

I'm super bloated, sometimes get mild backpain but recently have been getting a pulling stitch on one side which comes and goes, its not painful but i can feel it when i breathe deep, stretch or sometimes when im walking...

 

[larvalstalker]

I have been having nausea, headaches, bloating, mild pulling in my abdomen and I have been insanely sleepy but having the hardest time sleeping

I was worried about the mild pulling/cramping but I have read EVERYWHERE that is is pretty normal, also it doesn't feel anything like it did with my m/c.

Natashaek, I usually run to Google as well whenever I have any kind of twinge but my fiance and my mom have threatened to take my laptop away if I continue to do it. This forum is a much more positive place to go with concerns

Hi everyone,
Jenn - I hope your appointment goes well today x

I am feeling sick pretty much all day now but I'm also starving!!! I really wanted to try and eat healthy during this pregnancy do I could lose some weight or just maintain for a while as I am overweight. But fruit turns my stomach (as do most foods actually) but not chocolate!!! I want chocolate so bad!!
It's definetly harder this time around, when I had ms in my first pregnancy I could feel sorry for myself etc. but my 16 month old doesn't understand that mummy feels poorly all day long!! Lol!!!

It still hasn't sunk in yet, I think I won't be able to get excited until I see the scan in 3 weeks time.

Have any of you started shopping or window-shopping!! I remember me and DH snuck into mamas and papas right after we got our BFP last time
Xx

 

[berniegroves]

Oh and pulling sensations are totally normal. Just think about how much stretching your body needs to do!

[Tarkwa]

Yeah, you'll probably feel like you're gonna have a period, but nope! Pulling, tugging, cramping are something most women experience in varying degrees. I'm lucky so far *touches wood* that I've not had any ms. I didn't suffer really with my son, just waves of nausea when I was hungry so I'm not surprised.
Fed up of waiting for my appt. can't remember if they used the Doppler to find the heartbeat last time??? I'm not looking forward to being a pin cushion again!!!

That's awesome!! You won't regret it. I sincerely believe that the reason I bounced back so quickly after my first is because I worked out my whole pregnancy. I also didnt get any stretch marks on my belly
I highly recommend Yoga and Zumba! If you like to read the book
How to Exercise When You're Expecting: For the 9 Months of Pregnancy and the 5 Months It Takes to Get Your Best Body Back [By Lindsay Brin] is amazing and has great work out plans!
I have my first appointment 21 March but I dont think I'll be getting an U/S so I'm not trying to get excited over it.

 

[missjenn]

For the past two years I went to the gym 5 days a week and always had an awesome cardio session...now im too terrified to go in case something happens to the baby. I want to hit the treadmill so badly but am so scared too! What's a reasonable speed...someone said 3.5 mph but geez...thats nothing...I wouldnt even feel like im working out.

 

[littlelolo]

Just make sure when you are exercizing while pregnant not to overheat yourbody. This is not the time to ramp up an exercize program rather maintain what you usually do. You should not overheat as if you are hot your baby is even hotter. It can be very bad for baby! I worked out with a trainer with my entire first pg and he advised me not to get my heart rate over 150 however, if you are sendentary that number will be much different than that. the best thing is to talk to your dr about it.

 

[larvalstalker]

I do prenatal yoga and go for walks when the sidewalks are not drenched in slush. I helps with the cramps and makes me feel good and refreshed.... on days that my ms isn't keeping me on the couch

 

[Rockinmomtobe]
