So come on ladies, tell us how you're doing and where you are at this week in your pregnancy and what's going on:mrgreen:

I'll be 19 weeks on Thursday! Can't believe I'm almost half way. My scan is in 2 weeks and then 2 days after my scan I meet with the OB to fight it out to give birth in the birthing center....yikes! But God has spoken to me I believe (will update that in original thread) and I'm going ahead with the fight.

I've been feeling occasional movement. And I've been getting braxton hicks every day for a few hours. So all is well here!

I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow, happy to be (almost) at the 4-month mark. Morning nausea is pretty much gone - whoo-hoo! So greatful to God for that. I still feel sick when I smell something icky or if I go too long without eating, but that is much easier to plan for and prevent.

I am starting to get some of my energy back which I am really excited about- not so lumpy anymore! My bump is still in transition - mostly round but I still have a hint of a waist left so it is not that completely smooth round bump yet.

First trimester is almost over! I've been getting dizzy a lot, but that's not as bad as feeling icky after eating. It's not been too bad though PTL! My stomach is pooching more but I haven't gained any weight yet (which is a first for me, I usually gain like 5 lbs the first tri) I am still breastfeeding so I think that helps. I've been doing pretty good. I've been sleeping pretty well at night so I'm not totally dragging throughout the day.
My next appointment is May 15. I have a doppler that can pick up the heartbeat as early as 9 weeks, but I think because my uterus is tipped I can't hear it yet.
I've been waiting to feel some movement but all I get is gas! nice huh?!:-D

Oh how I love reading these ladies... I'm not pg, so I hope you don't mind my posting... I just love all your updates~ :D Esther, my first little flutters felt like gas~ ::snort:: Eleven weeks was when I noticed I felt those little bubbles... but didn't have "gas". ;)

I pray God blesses you ladies with enjoyable, blessed pregnancies and easy, peaceful deliveries! Big hugs!

thanks Jen, yah but I've been trying to watch for the gas sensation minus the gas LOL
I'm 11 weeks today so maybe within the next couple of days i'll see some type of pattern.:-D

I am 38 weeks tomorrow! YAY! I go on Wed. for my midwife appointment and they'll do an internal exam to see of I'm dilated at all. At my 37 wek appointment I measured 39 1/2 weeks, so if I still measure that much ahead the midwife wants to do an ultrasound just to see how the baby is laying and how big it is. I'm not wirried since I tend to have a lot of fluid and I'm pretty sure this baby is head down,but with legs toward the front. I'm getting really uncomfortable and I hope this baby is early. I'll be sure and let you know when things start to happen![claploud]

I am 35 weeks as of this thurday. Crib is ready, car seats ready (just needs to be put in the car) I have her clothes cleaned and in the drawer. Cloth diapers are ready. I am doing ok, have a ton of back hip pain which is only relieved when dh pushes on my tail bone hard. I have no energy and sit around most of the time. My ob wants to start stripping my membrains at my 36 week apoint, but I think I am giong to wait until my 37 week apt...maybe. So all systems are a go.

I can't believe how close you guys are! I am so excited for you guys!

Hello all :)
I am almost 29 weeks!! I can't believe it. I am doing pretty good. Starting to get uncomfortable and having trouble sleeping but I am coping with it all. I think this little girl inside of me NEVER sleeps!! It seems like she is always moving, I told DH she doesn't have an umbilical cord she must have a sugar straw or something because she is just a bouncing fool :) I have a regular check up tomorrow.
My sister through me a surprise baby shower last weekend! It was really nice, I got a lot of things we needed, which was pretty much everything since it has been 5 years since we had a baby. Now, if I could just start getting things set up! DH hasn't been able to start on the room addition yet so it looks like this little girl will be in our room for a while. I hope and pray that she is in her own room by fall though, she has so much neat stuff for her room and I soooooo badly want to get it ready but I will live. I think that is about all that is going on with me, I will let you know if anything interesting happens at my appointment tomorrow.

Hey!
I'm 13 and a half weeks... still having some trouble with food. I'm still down in weight from what I was before pregnancy! hah! Go figure.... This pregnancy has been a lot more achy - still get just mild cramping every now and again. Then I drink more water and the cramping seems to go away. I must not be keeping myself very hydrated.

I'm sleeping horribly too but it's mostly from noticing that I haven't had anything to drink all day because I'm too busy and then chugging water down all night trying to make up! Which of course leads to having to PEE in the middle of the night. UGH!

I have my first prenatal appointment on Wednesday... I'm actually not convinced there's an actual baby in there since I haven't heard a heart beat or had an ultrasound. I probably run to the bathroom a couple of times a day thinking I might be bleeding. I think I'm just fearful of this baby not being alive in there.
I know a couple of people recently that have gone for their 13 week ultrasound and finding out that there's no heart beat. There was no indication of miscarriage at all for both of them. I'm really kinda scared that this is going to happen to me.
Trying to really trust God in this but the fear just keeps popping up in my head.

So if you could all just keep me in your prayers on Wednesday at 10:15, that would be swell!!!

So ya, that's what's going on with my pregnancy!

So glad everyone seems to be doing well overall. Jen & Becky - big prayers for you over the next few weeks. Anxiously awaiting posts about the births of your little ones!!!


(((HUGS))) Keep updating us ladies!!!

Good to see how you are all doing. [highfive] I am 25 close to 26 weeks. Counting the weeks. :-D Doing good, so enjoying and thankfully Praising God with the baby kicking and moving around. My hips are really sore already. uh-oh, I was thinking it was a little early for that but very much feeling the extra weight. All worth it! [lovingsmiley] Kind of interested in getting my appointment with the ob to see about a v-bac. Not to worried, my doctor is all for it. *So* wondering everyday if there is a little boy or girl hiding in this belly. :-D


Praying for you all. [praying]

Hi ladies!!

I am super excited and super happy these days! So much going on here. So, here's the update!

28 weeks tomorrow!!!!! [claploud]
I can't hardly believe it. The third trimester is here and I am starting to feel more and more ready for our little girl to be here... at least emotionally!

I haven't had to see the perinatologist at all since week 22 I think. My regular OB is seeing me every two weeks and even said "things look normal." Which was GREAT to hear from her, since she was less than optimistic a few weeks ago. My weight gain has been fine, pretty much all baby. BP fine. I go in tomorrow for my GTT and another shot of RhoGAM. Fun times! :???:

Brock and I are moving this month too! We are renting a little condo which is closer to our friends - YAY! And so we get to set up all our baby stuff soooooon! I've been itching to get in and get Grace's room all set up and ready for her... esp. since we're at risk of going into labor early!
**But I really feel at peace with her not coming for awhile. I keep claiming in the name of Jesus Christ! [crossheld]

My mom was here from FL this last weekend. We shopped the great consignment stores and got a crib, changer, swing, and bassinet for under the price of a new crib!!! And they're in GREAT condition!! WOO HOO! My mommy is soooo great!

So that's the news here. I've been lurking lots but haven't posted too much. I hope to be better so I can get to know you all more.

Much love!!!

Michelle
