1. How far along are you in your pregnancy? 2. Do you know what you are having? 3. What number baby is this for you? 4. Think you'll have any more after this one? 5. Whats been easier/harder about this pregnancy compared to your twin pregnancy? 6. Have you had any particular cravings? 7. Anything else you want to share with us 1. I am 18 weeks along. 2. We will find out what we are having next Wed....It will be a long week. 3. This is baby number three and first singleton. 4. I would love to have more after this but that is a no go for my husband, so this will be our last. 5. This pregnancy has been soooo different...I have bouts of nausea from time to time and had it real bad with week 7-13, with the boys I had it for a week. My back is constantly killing me and my energy level varies day to day but is way lower than it used to be, didn't have this with the boys either. I lost weight with the boys and have gained 15 or so pounds already...that has been hard. Geesh could I complain anymore...the easiest part is that I truly love being pregnant and the whole process. 6. Cravings, hmmm....sweets and chocolate( which I do not care for normally)BLT's and Runza's. 7. I have waited patiently for the right time to start over again and am so excited it is happening but I am more nervous and antsy like a first time mom should be. I didn't have any of these feelings when I was pregnant with the twins. I am a very laid back person and have found that I am very anxious a lot of the time. Can't wait to read more about everyone else.
I should probably answer my own questions 1. Im 38w4d (but whose counting) 2. We dont know the gender, my choice- not Dh's! 3. This is our 3rd baby. 4. Sheesh I sure hope so, but dh says no way. we'll see! 5. The morning sickness & fatigue was way harder with this one, however the no bedrest portion has definitely been easier. I cant imagine bedrest again while having 2 toddlers. 6. The first half I wanted soup ALL THE TIME and it was the middle of the July! Now Ive moved onto a milkshake fetish but I think thats cause it helps my heartburn. 7. nope thats all I got!
1. almost 28 weeks???... I forget...look at my ticker. LOL. 2. A boy 3. Number 5. 4. Not unless God really speaks to my heart. 5. This has been my easiest pregnancy since my first pregnancy. I actually had more problems with my 3rd pregnancy than with my twin pregnancy...so both of those were much more difficult than this one. My energy is great, my bh ctx aren't too horrible, and no constant cramping like in the last pregnancy. Heartburn has also not been nearly as bad as either my 2nd or 3rd pregnancy. 6. As usual, chocolate, and I'd really love to have an italian hoagie, chips and soda...a craving I have not indulged. For some reason I always crave italian hoagies in my pregnancies, but have rarely indulged. I also really wanted some squash soup a few weeks ago...finally got some this weekend. YUM! 7. I'm looking forward to this little one arriving, but honestly I'm dreading the weeks going by quickly. I just want to capture this 'last' pregnancy for as long as I can. I think I'll miss the feeling. Although I couldn't say the same in my first trimester when I just kept telling myself 'this is the last time I'll have to feel this crappy!'
1. How far along are you in your pregnancy? 30 weeks and 1 day 2. Do you know what you are having? A baby boy, Yeah! 3. What number baby is this for you? Baby #4 second singleton 4. Think you'll have any more after this one? No, I'm getting a tubal during c-section 5. Whats been easier/harder about this pregnancy compared to your twin pregnancy? My twin pregnancy was actually pretty easy up until 31 weeks, we didn't even know it was twins until our 22 week ultrasound. After 31 weeks problems started, thankfully I haven't had to deal with those issues this time around. I think as far as discomfort goes this one has been my most uncomfortable, maybe because he is so low? I had worse morning sickness with this one than with the twins but not as bad as with my first DD also heartburn hasn't been too bad. This pregnancy is the first time I've experienced breast tenderness and it lasted a long time! 6. Have you had any particular cravings? I have craved salty things like chips, pickles and burgers, I don't give in to those too often though. I have also craved a lot more meat and cheese unlike my other pregnancies where I craved sweets and fruit. 7. Anything else you want to share with us Yes, Jess hurry up and have that baby already, I want to know if you have a little boy or little girl in there.
Still kind of early but anyways 1. 9w5d 2. no and we aren't finding out we didn't find out with the twins either and it was the best surprise of my life! Nothing could compare to hearing "Its a boy!" and "Its a boy again!" 3. 3rd baby, 1st singleton 4. If its a boy yes, we will try for a girl, we stop at 4 though 5. So far only thing i can compare is symptoms which are way worse than with the twins, morning sickness, gagging all the time, tingling nipples, hot flashes, and heartburn....most of which I didn't have with the twins 6. salty 7. I'm just so excited to be pregnant again and that it happened so soon and on our own this time! Now if we could get past the u/s on Wednesday and get to tell our families I will be much more excited!!!
1. How far along are you in your pregnancy? 14 weeks 2. Do you know what you are having? Pretty sure it's a girl, just found out Thursday, but it's kind of early. 3. What number baby is this for you? 3 4. Think you'll have any more after this one? Nope. I want a tubal 5. Whats been easier/harder about this pregnancy compared to your twin pregnancy? Harder: chasing around 2 toddlers. Easier: much less morning sickness and random aches and pains. 6. Have you had any particular cravings? Um, it's changing over time was cinnamon rolls, but now that I'm not sick it's whatever moves me. 7. Anything else you want to share with us Yes, I need to get over here more often.
Hey, congrats!! I'm impressed they gave you a gender at 14 weeks! Are you going to share your name(s)?
Yeah, me too. She said 90% chance it's a girl. That little booger was a trouble maker; the ultrasound tech couldn't get her at the right angle to see the neck. I spent 3 hours in there. After about the first hour, she told me to walk around the hospital and see if I could get the baby to turn while she handled the other patients. Even that didn't work. We had the names Rayah and Rayna on the table for a girl last time, so we're leaning towards one of those. I just need a good middle name.
She sounds stubborn already! :lol: Love both names (Rayna is my favorite, though, if I *had* to pick one!) Good choices! Can't wait to hear the confirmation at your 18-20 week u/s!
1. 37 weeks and some change 2. We are having a girl 3. This is baby #4 4. As long as it is in my power this will be our last baby. DH is going in for a V 5. My twin pregnancy was a breeze. My singleton pregnancies have been more difficult for me because there is no rest. I literally can't sit for 15 minutes at a time. Someone always needs something and they are still too young to do much on thier own. 6. No cravings 7. At my appointment yesterday I was 3 to 4 cm and 50% effaced. Hoping this baby will be here before thanksgiving
1. How far along are you in your pregnancy? 26 weeks, 5 days 2. Do you know what you are having? A girl! 3. What number baby is this for you? 3 4. Think you'll have any more after this one? No 5. Whats been easier/harder about this pregnancy compared to your twin pregnancy? I think I'm more tired and more sore by the end of the day this time around. I was on modified bed rest at this point with the twins and didn't have to do any lifting at all throughout the whole thing. I do feel more active though because I guess I'm carrying less weight and have a lot less swelling than I did with my lo's at this point in my pregnancy with them. 6. Have you had any particular cravings? Anything with potatoes up until about a month ago. Now no real cravings at all. 7. Anything else you want to share with us I'm really looking forward to delivering - having back-to-back pregnancies I feel like I've been pregnant for a very long time. I thought growing up I'd love pregnancy like my Mom did, but I think I love the idea of it more. It's absolutely amazing that as women our bodies can grow and carry another human being and I am so grateful to be a woman and have this opportunity. That being said, I love the end result so much more and I would much rather be tired from taking care of my sweet newborn than from carrying a baby. I think I worry more when I'm pregnant than when my babies are on the outside, if I can see them I feel like I can help them. I'm sure one day I'll look back on pregnancy and miss it a little but right now all I want to do is meet our new daughter and have her here with us.
. How far along are you in your pregnancy? 33 weeks 2. Do you know what you are having? a little girl 3. What number baby is this for you? #3 4. Think you'll have any more after this one? Totally undecided 5. Whats been easier/harder about this pregnancy compared to your twin pregnancy? Its been harder all around for me, because, A. I'm keeping up with two toddlers, B. I am running my own business this time, and I stayed home and did nothing but relax after week 16 when I was pregnant with the twins. 6. Have you had any particular cravings? Not particularly...other than ice, which was, I assume, due to my low iron levels. 7. Anything else you want to share with us I am ready to have this baby, lol.
1. How far along are you in your pregnancy? I'm 28 weeks! I can hardly believe it. During my twin pregnancy I was like ticking off everyday, not this time. 2. Do you know what you are having? A boy. 3. What number baby is this for you? Three 4. Think you'll have any more after this one? Aboslutely NOT. 5. Whats been easier/harder about this pregnancy compared to your twin pregnancy? Easier, up until now. Now, I'm starting to drag. I'm older and not as in good of shape as I was, plus, I have two kindergarteners to take care off which I didn't have last time. But the second trimester, way easier. I often forgot I was pregnant. 6. Have you had any particular cravings? I live abroad and with both pregnancies I craved food from my childhood. Things that generally are not available here. But my MIL firmly believed that if you don't give in to a craving you are in danger of miscarriage, so I just learned to keep my mouth shut about them. 7. Anything else you want to share with us We got the gender at about 14 weeks, but it was a 3D ultrasound and once he turned from standard to 3D it was clear as day that it was a boy--either that or I'm having a 3 legged mutant baby.
1. 31 weeks 5 days Hurray! 2. No, I asked on Friday but the little troublemaker had her/his legs tight together. Oh well, it'll be a surprise. 3. First child (plus twin angels) 4. Probably not 5. Firstly, my weight gain was a lot less, so discomfort was less and sleeping a lot easier. 6. Anything salty 7. Currently breech, we are having discussions on flipping sooner rather than later!
1. How far along are you in your pregnancy? 21 weeks 2. Do you know what you are having? A boy 3. What number baby is this for you? 4 4. Think you'll have any more after this one? Nope we are done (I'm pretty sure! LOL) 5. Whats been easier/harder about this pregnancy compared to your twin pregnancy? Nausea and exhaustion worse (1st trimester basically) but so far the 2nd trimester has been a breeze and much more enjoyable. He moves a LOT more than the twins 6. Have you had any particular cravings? Does chocolate count or is that just a normal craving?? LOL 7. Anything else you want to share with us Just looking forward to meeting this litle boy. OH and Walker is intrigued with my belly right now. He thinks my belly button is quite funny.
