Mommies to be check in

[Kelly C]

Hey what happened to our baby tickers?

[Kelly C]

Mrs. Martin your are too funny...

 

I heard ice cream is good for nausea.

 

So i had to go to the Doc today which wasnt planned. I was having back contractions and pain all day. I drank my water had my feet up and took two tylnol. So they made me come in since nothing helped. They said I have a UTI and check my cervix and did the swab test to see if I was going into labor in the next two weeks. cervix is closed and I will here about the swab in the next two hours.

hey ladies, im not pregnant, but I thought I would say for all of you who are experiencing morning sickness I saw a thing on the news today saying the more morning sickness a woman has when pregnant, the smarter the baby is later in life maybe this can help the sickness more bareable

Hi girls - just chiming in now, but I've been watching this thread since when we were planning our DW - we're pregnant and due Nov 16!

 

I saw the baby at 6weeks and the heart beat. I'm going back for the screening test next week (the neural tube one) and meeting our midwife for the first time next Friday!

 

Your baby bumps are very cute and not at all scary (well, maybe a bit for me ) I just have a very thick tummy right now. I've gained 12 lbs already and I'm only 10 weeks I tried to put a cap on the comfort food last week and I'm gaining much more slowly now, I hope!

Kelly - sorry to hear of your scare. Hopefully the test will come back negative and you'll be in the clear!

 

Andrea - CONGRATULATIONS! and welcome to the mommy thread! I did the same thing; stalked the thread until I was good and ready to tell everyone:)

 

To all you other ice cream lovers - I am right there with you. I keep saying that I dont know how I'm going to give up my daily (and sometimes 2x daily) ice cream fix! LOL

 

So, I had my 35 (almost 36wk) appt today. Nothing too exciting. So far, I've gained 25lbs which is not too bad all around but I was only up 10 at 20 weeks and my Dr. said that he doesn't think I would gain more than 20 total. Oh well. I guess my slackign off from the gym and pigging out on ice cream finally caught up to me. Baby G is still breach and the Dr. keeps talking about doing a version to get him to turn if he doesn't do it on his own by 37 weeks. I already told hubby he needs to have a serious talk with his son about turning head down! LOL

[Mrs. Martin]

I'm so happy to see that most of you share the same ice cream obsession that I have!!!

 

Andrea- Congrats and welcome!! How are you feeling?

 

Kelly- Sorry to hear you're going through that. I hope the results came on the good side! Keep us posted.

 

My son was keeping me up last night, kicking the life out of my bladder. I've never felt him as strong as I started feeling him yesterday. I'm sure the kicks will only be getting stronger....

 

I have my glucose-tolerance test Monday morning and I'm a little nervous about it(especially since I've gained so much weight in so little time). My coworkers keep telling me the drink was disgusting and the waiting around was just as bad. Is it as bad as everyone describes it?

Don't worry about it! It really has nothing to do with how much weight you've put on and there's nothing you can do about it anyways:) It really doesn't taste too bad as long as it's COLD! Basically like semi-sweet flat orange soda. I heard it's really nasty warm but out of the fridge, it was no biggie. Good luck on your test!

Thanks, girls!

I'm actually feeling pretty good all 'round. I had only a couple of weeks of constant morning sickness and now it's once in a while. I had a bad day on Monday and stayed home, but this week otherwise I was pretty good.

 

Sore along my lower abdomen, like I"ve pulled the muscle, because it's stretching. And generally feel pretty large because of the weight I've gained.

 

I can't wait to be able to tell everyone, especially at work, because I feel really paranoid all the time, like everyone's staring at my belly! And it's hard trying to cover it up all the time.

 

I'm really excited about our ultrasound on Thursday. I really hope everything is ok!

 

Oh and I had one spotting episode just once on Wednesday that did worry me, so my doctor is testing me for a UTI.

[Kelly C]

thanks girls...I just got done doing my 3 hr glucose. It was terrible! Do not drink the lemon lime. For the pre screen that I failed I had orange and it was so bad. This is terrible. I just got done have a sandwich trying to balance back out. I think I need a nap. Im crashing hard and we have a 1st communion and and 1st b day party to go to this afternoon.

 

The doctor just gave me antiabotics and treating it as a UTI. The screening for labor in the next two weeks came back negative. So thats good.

 

Glad to hear you girls are doing well Im going to try and get a little cat nap in.

Just checking in on everybody to see how they are doing. Hope everyone is well.

 

Congrats Andrea!!!!!
