23 weeks Pregnant...and all the knowledge I can bestow...thus far!

Crystin — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 23:21:03 GMT

I am three weeks past the 1/2 way mark right now...

1) waddling is now part of your everyday

2) salsa, salsa, salsa

3) the nursery can't go up fast enough and the fact that it's NOT going up fast enough sends you into a whirl of fears, just KNOWING that your child is going to have to sleep on the floor for the first 2 weeks he's home...In all actuality, you still have 4 months, you have the crib and you are putting it up within the next week

4) Your butt, stomach, ...

Posotive advice please!!!

Hiya all hope your all well!!!

Dunno if you remember me i had a miscarraige last month on the 10th april at around 6/7 weeks and me and my husband were devastated. I found out yesterday that i am pregnant again already!!! We didn't expect it to happen so quickly and now i am really scared. I have no idea how far along that makes me and i don't know if theres added risks with it being so soon after my miscarraige. My midwife seemed optomistic on the phone but i did wonder if she was just trying ...

Okay... I don't mean to be whiny or anything, but I am so ready for this pregnancy to be done with!! I am so uncomfortable all the time. I have to go to Labor and Delivery 1-2 times a week b/c the dr. needs to monitor me... My blood pressure is high, my ankles are the size of baseballs, migraines galore... *sigh*

Hi Ladies! It's been so long! I'm 30 weeks now! I been having some trouble with the pregnancy. I devolved gestational hypertensions & I've been in & out of the hospital. The doctor has me on bed rest. I go for testing twice a week every week until I deliver. They have to check the amniotic fluid around the baby & check and see if his heart beat is stable & to make sure I don't develop pre-eclampsia. As you can imagine I been very busy! How have you girls been doing & how ...

in and hide under the sofa. she loves ...

here are my baby names... opinions anyone?

beauty3551 — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 23:56:40 GMT

For a Girl it's Karissa Anne Hamilton

For a boy Tyler John-steven Hamilton

I know the boys name is a bit odd, but we're still hammering it out. John is after my hubbys grandpa, Steven after my dad's brother who was killed at 21 by a drunk driver.

The girls name is from the baby my mom lost between my two youngest brothers (15-17yrs old now)

She lost her at right befroe 5 months.

Thnx.

Krystena — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 20:41:11 GMT

Would it make me a bad person if I yelled at the next stranger who insists on touching my stomach. I would never do that to someone I didn't know!!! What are they thinking.

I was in WalMart yesterday and some lady comes up and touches my belly and then does the whole "awe... when are you due?" thing. Learn some etiquette people!!! First of all, if you are going to approach someone you don't know, it's probably a good idea to speak words before you reach out and violate their ...

Do not use while sleeping.

On a bag of Fritos:

You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.

Directions: Use like regular soap.

The line that appears on your belly and your belly button

lil_miss_86 — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 01:11:32 GMT

Hey ladies,

I just wanted to know if you have the line that sometimes appears on your belly and whether your belly button has popped out yet?

I don't have the line, I properly won't get it, no-one in my family had it, but instead they got a hairy belly and yep I got that.

My belly button hasn't popped, lol I have always wated one hehe.

BLOOD PRESSURE

lil_miss_86 — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 10:40:33 GMT

I had a doctors appointment today and I found out I have high blood pressure. Unless I can get it to stop increasing and start going down I will end up in hospital. I have the GD test in 2 weeks and as my doc has all informed me to cut all sugar from my diet, I guess he is expecting that I will have diabetes. I have also been told to cut all salt from my diet too, but that is to help my bp.

Today is just not my day!

Hope everyone is doing better than me! Well on the good side Corey ...

lil_miss_86 — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 03:32:33 GMT

My partner thinks 'm going crazy cose there is still over 15 weeks but I'm worried! Then again everything I go and get for Corey my SIL goes and gets for her unborn baby. She is 6 weeks excatly behind me.

I'm just worried that when Corey gets here, we just won't be ready! ARGH!!!!!
