Hello ladies. Some of you may remember me from the TTC trend but for those of you who do not know me- I am 23 and have 2 beautiful and just found out 3 days ago that I am pregnant again after 5 months of TTC. We are VERY excited. EDD is 7-30-10 but I will have a c-section on 7-23-10. My 3 yr old wants a boy and a girl ( I would die!!) and my 1 yr old doesnt have a clue. Can't wait to chat it up will all you preggy mommies to be.

Heres to lots of happy and healthy pregnancies!!

Welcome to you new ladies!

Dj- I remember you from the TTC thread. Glad you have joined us here. My 4 yr old also wants a boy and a girl. I would die as well! I've worked very hard for #2, but I don't want to add #3 at the same time! Hope you have a healthy happy nine months. Glad we get to share our journeys together!

As for everyone else sorry I'm not replying. I've been super sick! Just wanted to say a few things and let everyone know I've been reading the post just to weak to post. I will explain more later! Hope everyone has a good Tuesday!

I have a real stupid question. My stomach hurt so bad last night and am wondering if this is what gas does to a pregnant person! This morning it feels alot better. Just dont remember this part but my last pregnancy was 7 years ago! Thanks gals!

Hi again mommies to be! San...it could also be your uterus expanding. I still feel mild cramps certain days, which are normal. Gas also makes your tummy cramp up a lot.

I'm 8 weeks now, had my first little ultrasound, heard the heartbeat! I even have a little bump in my tummy! It's so exciting! We told our families last night at Thanksgiving. What a wonderful moment.

My name is Leslie. I'm a first time mom (but stepmom to two boys 7 and 8). I am happily married. We were married on July 8, 2009. My husband and I found out we were pregnant on Thanksgiving Day. Right now my expectant due date is July 29, 2009. So I guess this puts me at week 6 of pregnancy!

I guess I haven't really had any symptoms as of yet other than being tired and I seem to be really stuffed up but it doesn't seem to be related to a cold, oh and peeing a lot. I am having some cramping/full feeling in my uterus but I guess that's just normal. And knock on wood no sickness yet!

helllo all. so i have been feeling, well let's just say awkward the past few weeks. i took a test 3 days before my period. negative.. took two tests yesterday, clear as day positive. (even used the expensive clear blue!) bad news, boyfriend leaves for training on tues. .and iraq in january. what do i do?!


has anyone experienced a very emotional roller coaster or mood swings?! because i can't snap out of it and the second there is a cure I will rush to get it!

I will be going to the dr on monday, but calculated on some website (yeah who trusts the internet) but i am due july 31st! this is scary.

Army- Mood swings are very normal during pregnancy. You just have to do your best not to make everyone around you dread being around you. As far as yoru boyfriend leaving...what can you do? I know this sounds mean and blunt, but you just have to deal with this situation like every other military couple. Were you planning for this baby?

Leslie- Congratulations! I feel you on the peeing a lot. I usually fall out when I go to sleep and sleep all night unless my 4 yr old wakes up for some reason. I get up every single night to pee now! It drives me insane, but I know it will only get worse as my uterus expands. Hope you don't get any sickness. Mine has finally getting better and I hope it stays that way!

Eden- I also heard the heartbeat early this week! It's amazing isn't it!?! Glad you are doing okay. When are you do again? I'm also 8 weeks!

San- It could very well be gas or like Eden said your uterus expanding. I cramp every once in awhile as well and my OB said that is completely normal. Gas also makes me cramp so bad I want to cry sometimes!

As for me, not much new. Sickness is getting better...thank goodness! The only bad thing is that I'm only craving restaurants. I hate this because I'm dead set on eating healthy, but my cravings are taking over! I'm a very home cooked kinda gal, so this is very unusual. With my son I craved fruits like no other...wish this one was the same! Hope this changes!

[San2010]

Thanks gals for the input! I really hate the gas part of being pregnant!!!lol

Well Im so glad that the morning sickness is no longer part of my daily routine! Officially 10 weeks 2 days today!!

Theres been alot of talk about finding out the sex of baby and we are not going to find out as we want it to be a surprise so I guess we will be going with neutral colors for now!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I even got my husband out shopping with me!

[sparklinggrapejuice4me]

Tiffany- hope you start feeling better! I know i have definately been feeling sick pretty much all the time. Everyone in my family knows that I have a great appreciation for food, but lately all I can handle is Cherrios and poptarts.
So did anyone else make a big announcement at thanksgiving!?? We went around and had all our family say what they are thankful for. When it came to my hubby, he told everyone we were thankful to be able to set our table for 3 next year! Everyone freaked out! it was great! Can't wait for my 1st dr. appt on thurs. this week!
