Vicky - so sorry you're having a tough time at the minute hope you manage to sort it out, or find a way to move forwards

Woohoo, I just won a photo shoot. She said it's to be used this spring/summer so I asked if I could do it in July. That way I should look a lot more pregnant and not just like I am gaining some weight. We are going to do a family photo shoot but I'm hoping to get a couple pictures alone as maternity photos. I want to do them earlier rather than later in case baby is born early again. I didn't get a chance with my daughter since she was born at 29 weeks.

That's great! What a loved thing to win when your pregnant

Mamamac good luck with your scan

La mere oh my! Unassisted. I must of missed that part well done haha! I would of been absolutely terrified tho your partner must of felt pretty awesome.

Well hubby and I have finally agreed on a boys name. I read a top 100 list as I was sure we could comprimise by sticking to more common names for me and letting him pick the ones he liked. He only liked 4 names out of the list but loved one and I thought on it for a day and 2 nights and decided its a nice fit. Not something I would of chosen but it has grown on me.
so now we just need middle names for both girl and boy which should be a lot easier.

Oh my, sometimes this thread moves so fast.

newlywed-hoping that some dietary changes can help with slowing weight gain for you, that is a tough thing to combat sometimes.

Vickyandchick- I'm really sorry to hear about your relationship troubles, I pray things get sorted out for you soon. That is really difficult. Do you have a great support system nearby?

kiki-thinking good thoughts for you

LaMere- 17 weeks tomorrow, how exciting!!

Mrs. Eleflump- praying you are able to find some time for yourself soon

Rbourre-what an amazing and lovely thing to win!

Zephyr- yay for agreeing on a boys name! good luck on middle names

MamaMac- good luck at your scan tomorrow, sad that your OH cannot attend but thankful that MIL can go

Geralyn- Yay for 15 weeks!! Cute bump pic, looking forward to hearing if you'll be having a little boy or little girl!

Hi ladies! Doing my usual random hop in and leave a message...I do read all the posts before I post, but I know a lot of my responses are late.

Protien in the pee for me meant the baby is eating my muscle (due to my low food intake due to vomming), and excreting protien. Maybe eat a bit more protien?

Sorry to all those struggling with weight gain - that's hard. To the woman who was worried about low weight gain, I've lost almost 20 lbs due to morning sickness. Last time I lost 15, but gained it all back plus some after 20 weeks. Docs say don't worry - the baby will take what it needs. As we're team yellow, we refer lovingly to our little one as 'parasite pat' for the first half of the pregnancy. Just make sure you're getting as much calcium and protien as possible!

So sorry, Vicky! Pregnancy is stressful enough without this! Hang in there, and I hope if reconciliation is an option/hoped for that it happens, and if not that you have a strong support system!

As for the downs screen, my cousin was 1 in 60 and her dd is fine. It's so hard to tell! I hope all the scans and tests come back ok!

Felt my first kicks first pregnancy at 17 weeks, and 13 weeks this time. They are getting more consistent now.

Afm, I'm still on meds and sick sometimes...can't wait for it to be over! I'll be 18 weeks Friday - hoping that's the magic number!

I think that's all...congrats to all the gender reveals! So fun

 

[Laelani]

Just got back from our 3D gender scan and it's a BOY!!!!!! Team Blue here as well.

 

[cricket in VA]

Congrats!! Fun to see all the boys! Secretly hoping we end up team blue, but love my girlie too, so ok either way!

Guys help!

So a few hours ago my left hand/arm started feeling sore, now it feels like I hit my funny bone, except I didn't! I googled and it sounds like cubital tunnel syndrome, anyone heard of it? my doc is closed for the day, and so is urgent care. It hurts! Anyone have any advice to ease it a bit?

 

[hopettc3]

Hi ladies! I usually try to check in regularly on here, but it has been a busy couple months. I'm trying to come back on here more often now.

newlywed: Hope you had a great birthday!

vicky: very sorry to hear about your troubles. I hope it all works out the way you want and that you have family and friends to help support you through it.

I have gained 8lbs so far and am just reaching 18 weeks. My doctor says that I'm doing pretty good. I didn't put much weight on with my second, but I think it was because I was staying very active. I haven't been walking as much as I usually do lately and I'm just starting to pick it up again. I'm hoping to stay under 25lbs if possible, but I'm not going to worry too much if I go over. I'm just trying to eat healthy and stay active.

I know a carpal tunnel wrap puts pressure on the tendons to alleviate some of the pain. Perhaps you could apply a wrap with a bit of pressure and see if that helps? I'm not a doctor so I don't know but it seems logical!

I tried pressure but it makes it worse. i called the after hours nurse and the receptionist said she would have a nurse call me

 

[newlywed2013]

So the nurse couldn't figure out what it was and wanted me to go to the er. But said if I don't, she wants me looked at tomorrow. It's eased up a little so I am going to try and sleep and call my Dr in the morning., hubby said to wake him up if I decide I need to go in.

While I was on the phone, the other apartment in the duplex had a small fire.

What a birthday! lol

Goodnight ladies!

 

[StarBrites]

Hope you can get some relief soon newlywed!

 

[Yo_Yo]

Newlywed-hope your arms better soon-what timing with your birthday too

I had a bad pinched nerve due to baby's positioning when pregnant with my daughter. It made my left hand numb and pain thru my back and leg. Although I believe I was further along.. But maybe it's what is bothering you

 

[lauraemily17]

I had carpel tunnel with my son. It got progressively worse starting with tingling fingers but ended up really painful, especially at night. It also made using my fingers quite difficult. Not great for doing up poppers on a small baby sized sleep suit! Thankfully it went within a few weeks after giving birth.

I'm not so sure that's specifically what you have as it relates to swelling over some specific tendons I think and I don't think comes on so badly or suddenly, could be wrong though. Could you have trapped a nerve somehow? That can be really painful.

 

[cntrygrl]

I would try the usual heat to cold remedy and see if that helps at all if it happens again.
