Checking in..

Hi moms,

This board is kind of slow lately, so I was just wanting to know how many of us are there, and how you're feeling, etc..

I'll start:

29 weeks tomorrow
I have GD again, but controlling easily with diet
Just found out I was anemic, and after taking the iron pills for a few days, I do feel less run down, so that's nice
Having lots of strong BH's, and I ache, but I'm still doing pretty much everything I've always done, I suspect I'll be slowing down more soon
I've gained about 24 lbs so far, but it's ALL belly
The sex is a suprise, but my guess is a girl
Still don't have a girl name though!
Hoping for a VBAC, but they won't induce with a VBAC, and they won't let you go to term with GD, so my chances aren't too great, but I'm OK with that
I had my last appointment Tuesday, and go back in two weeks.

I think that's it for me, let's hear about you!

 

I'm here, I try to check in often but I thought maybe everyone had given birth already or was busy.

I am in my 20th wk, yay halfway. This pg seemed to have drag up to this point.
We found out it was a boy, we go for a 3D in 2 wks.
So far my bp this time is doing good. With my singleton it was fine, with the twins not so good.
We are a tad closer to a name but boys names are always hard.
My next appt is on Mar 19th.
This will be a hbac for me. Had a vag birth with first pg and section with the twins.
I haven't had any BH's yet but I never had them or maybe never felt them with either of the other pg's.

So is 29 wks when the 2 wk appts start?

 

I'm here....still .

I was actually going to post just now about these darn b/h.
With all my pregnancies I've had b/h. But this one is the worst and most.The past couple nights I've been getting them every 15-20 min. Tonight I'm getting them yet again but with alot of pressure. Considering this is my 4th pregnancy i know what real labor feels like so I know these are false. But so many times you hear stories that women are in labor and don't realize it. Has anyone had worse b/h after twins??

I'm 36 weeks along. Time has flown by. Everything has gone great.I've been nesting BAD the past couple weeks.This week its all gone and I'm constantly tired. The baby is head down and locked in place.So now its just a waiting game.Ugh. Movements have really slowed so hopefully it won't be much longer.

Hope everyone has a easy road ahead like I did.x

 

i am a little over 19 weeks, we hope to find out the sex of the baby on tuesday since last week did not work out.
Due on July 28th and the twins will be three in september.

 

I'm having worse BH, too. But then again, this is baby #6 and yes, last pregnancy was twins. I posted the other day about overdoing in on Monday, and paying for it Monday night. But I'm doing better since then. Still lots of BH, but not the terrible hurting ache. I'm about 30 weeks, and we're having boy #3 in May. I went to the midwife today and things sound great, even heard his hiccups on the doppler, along w/ the heartbeat. Right now the hardest thing is that everyone keeps asking what we're naming him, and like usual, we can't agree on anything!

 

I think I'm the earliest of the group! Or at least those that posted in this thread so far ... but here is some exciting news! As I'm sitting here typing, I think I'm feeling my first flutters!!!! I'm very excited about this ... although I can't wait until I can feel them externally so my sister can share in the fun!

I'm finally over my sickness ... I haven't used my zofran in quite a while. I'm SOOOOO tired ... but I think that's normal. Mostly I would just love it if I could lay in bed all day and watch tv ... but I better be careful what I wish for! With my luck, I'll end up on bedrest!

 

Hi still here only just though I am 37 and a half weeks and Im having the c-section next week on thursday.
I am having the strangest thing happen at the moment I have wooden dining chairs which is where Im sitting right now and every time I sit on the hard seats a pain goes through my whole body. weird, you gotta love being pregnant :nea:

If i dont post again on here thank you for having me and Ive really enjoyed reading the posts on here.

 

I am 38 weeks along. I would like to have this baby sometime between 39 and 40 weeks, after everything is ready at our house. Too bad I can't time it like that! My doctors (I see perinatalogists due to difficult pregnancy last time) won't induce until a week after due date.

 

So exciting Erica! How's your sister feeling?

Meeqs & Heybabalou, sooooooo close! Soon you'll be holding your babies and we'll all be jealous, LOL!

 

Hi everyone!! I'm about 25 wks pregnant and we found out we are having a boy! I was CERTAIN I was having a girl.......was totally shocked that I was wrong. LOL I had terrible "all day" sickness until about 20wks. Almost worse than with the twins. Thank GOD that it is over now. I also expected this pregnancy to be easier than my twin pregnancy but in some ways it is harder. I'm always tired ( thanks to having two lil ones to care for ). This pregnancy seems to be going by VERY slowly.

 

Hi girls! I'm 21.5 weeks pregnant. I found out on this past Monday that it's a little girl. We do have a first name, but not a middle name. Although I never know if I should share the name or not. What do you all do concerning names? Do you share before the baby is born or wait?

I feel huge, I got pregnant when the twins were 5 months old so I hadn't had much time to try and lose weight. Leading up to the big u/s things seemed to be moving along real quickly, now not so much, probably because the next big event is the birth. I hope to VBAC, but not sure. My Dr. said he'll make that decision closer to delivery time. I live in a small city so it basically would mean him being on call and at the hospital during the whole labor.

This was a great idea to start this thread. Thanks littletwinmom! I'm curious to see how many there are of us.

 

I'm here too!
I'm 25 weeks
Having a girl!! (our third girl!)
We are naming her Jillian
So far I've gained 11 lbs but I feel huge!!
No BH yet, but I sure am tired these days!!
I'll be having a c-section in my 39th week!

Great to hear from everyone!

I'm here as well!
I'm 25 weeks also.
We do NOT know what we are having(I'm thinking boy...maybe I will have to ask all of you!).
We have a girl name-Annabella. If it's a boy-dh likes Michael(we need something to go with Anthony/Nicholas). I also like Zachary, Matthew, Timothy to name a few.
I am not sure if I have gained 5lbs yet. Maybe? I see the ob next week..
I feel like I am barely showing! I just look...fat!
No bh...and I do not think I ever got them with the boys(had them at 38 weeks via scheduled c/s)
I will also be having a c/s in my 39th week...14 weeks to go!
I have had no cravings, symptoms, blah, blah, blah...
And this baby is a MOVER! Which of course helps calm my fears!

 

Pam, I always shared my name choices. Drives me nuts when people do. LOL.

Hi everyone! I'm not pg anymore (though I'm in the TWW so we'll find out at the end of next week!) but I keep checking in on the board to see how everyone is doing. My baby is now over 1!!! It went by so incredibly fast.

 

I'm 18 weeks along and feeling much better. I've been taking medication to control severe nausea, but lately I'm down to one or two pills a day so that's much better. My energy is coming back. I have been feeling the baby for a couple of weeks and it's so neat! I have an ultra sound and an appointment with the midwife next week so hopefully we can find out the sex of the baby. My husband is hoping for a girl, I think. If it's a girl I think we'll call her Noelle. If it's a boy we'll call him Andrew. I'm excited about the baby - August 5 feels like a long way away.

 

HI Girls

I'll be 16 weeks on Monday. We aren't finding out what we're having, but I think it's a girl. My favorite girl name right now is Charlotte. I don't have a boy name yet. Fortunately I haven't had any morning sickness. I do think I'm showing alot, but this is baby #4!

This past week I developed hormone incuded migraines. They are miserable! Horrible headaches, vision problems, dizziness, etc. I thought I was having blood pressure problems, but they're suspecting migraines. They put me on Fioricet for the migraines and that helps. They did an echocardiogram to be sure I didn't have any blood clots to worry about and rule out strokes. I have to go see the neurologist next month if the headaches continue.

I have an ultrasound next week to check on my ovarian cyst and I'm going to see the perinatologist on the 20th to decide whether or not to go ahead with surgery for the cyst.

I feel like this pregnancy is flying by! I think I'm just so busy with the other kids that it's hard to keep track of the time. I feel like August is just around the corner!

 

Hello everyone!

I do share names, but its probably because we are so excited that we finally found one and the more I use the more I see if I like it.

 

I'm here too and am 38wks today. I'll be having a csection in 4 days! The 11th! very uncomfy but staying pretty positive. Just trying to stay busy.

 

I KNEW there was lots of us out there! And to answer a few questions..

I dunno when you start going every two weeks. I will be 30.5 at my next appointment, and I suspect I'll be going every week after that due to my GD.
I DO think my BH are worse this time around, but I was on berest for much of the twins, so it's hard to compare.
We don't share names because we don't want people's opinions...both our moms worked in elementary schools forever so they have instant thoughts of certain names, and we don't want their input. Of course, we don't even have a girl name at the moment..

Please let us know when your babies are here, looks like we'll have a few this week or next!

 

Hi there. My name is Tamara.
I am 12 weeks with my 4th baby. Due September 20th.
Not going to find out the gender. We have 3 DDs already.
I have been horribly sick with this pregnancy but know it is only one peanut this time.
We have names somewhat established but not 100% yet since we have plenty of time.
I am mostly a lurker but do post on occasion.
Good luck to all of you with your pregnancies!

Hope you have a healthy birth at home! I had a hbac about 7.5 months ago and the baby and I did great! Please post the birth story in about 5 months

 

I'm back again!!! It's still very early, but my "on line friends" are the only ones I can tell (Shana and Kirsten, if you're reading this, shhhhhhhhh. I'm not telling others yet).

I'm only 3w4d. Due with #4 11/22/09. Praying this little one sticks.

Now to find a way to tell hubby. hmmmm.

Congrats!

I have been gone! I've been busy with trying to get my twins into early childhood, getting my sons seen by there drs because I don't know how I'll feel come Summer. As it is I know I'll have to take Ty to his cardiologist in the fall. He sees him every 6 months. Plus every month starting in April I'll have to take Trent to see his orthodontist to get his braces adjusted. He's supposed to get them on sometime in April when I here back from there office.

I'm in the 2nd tri now. Well I guess I am as my baby-gag ticker on another site moved me to the 4th month today. Yay! I see my OB tomorrow and should here the HB which I'm looking forward too. I have yet to hear it despite having 2 u/s's all ready!

 

Congrats Alison!! H&H 9 mos to you!

Still here too...36 weeks, don't know if its a boy or girl...no names picked out (better get on that!!) and planning a drug-free VBAC. Getting anxious to see this little one!
