I tried to post this yesterday but never did see it so please excuse me if you do see it and I am repeating myself. Yesterday, I have my 14 week pre-natal check-up and got to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time. I always love that part and was very excited to hear that the baby sounded...

Today was my first trip to the hospital during this pregnancy and boy did they make the trip worth while..........6 hours we were there !! First test - GTT - fingers prick test showed 6.8 despite the 12 hour fast AND carb loading for 2 days........so full blood work was taken and bloody awful...

Well, I had my ultrasound today and we saw the heartbeat. It was 141 bpm and everything looked fine. I'm quite relieved and very apprieciatve of all the support I've gotten from you ladies. It looks like the chance of m/c has become much, much smaller and the blighted ovum theory has been...

Larry mentioned he would be interested in reading other "day in the life of", anyway this won't be entirely accurate, but not far off as it was quite an eventful day. 14th June was his due date, we were told by many people that things would change or get better, well they were fine already...

Apparently my uterus is the size of a 20-weeker! I just about had a heart attack thinking they missed seeing a twin on the u/s at 6 weeks. Dr. said it was my body remembering my previous twin pregnancy. It happens to some women. /roll eyes But heart beat is strong at 150 bpm. :-) --

well I went to the doc today and things are ok I did get to here the babys heartbeat and it wasn't that difficult to find this time as it was at my 10 week appt. the baby has moved up. But why I say things are ok is because I have been put on a high calorie diet and have to eat very frequent...

Hi all, I am in my second trimester, have been for sometime. First of all the fatique has just about disappeared. Just tiredness at the end of a long day. I cannot say that about the nausea, although it has come down by about 70%. Not totally gone. No more spotting again. Still suffering from...

Hi folks, Had a *regularly scheduled* OB visit today, and things are looking pretty good. Highlights: -- I can pee without difficulty, and you better believe I'll never take *that* for granted again! -- Baby's heartbeat was in the 150s, and easy to find this time. (I'm guessing the main...

Anyone with any advice on handling a 16mth old who throws every peice of food given to her on the floor and very little gets in her mouth. She started as a lovely girl who ate everything and anything now she is the fussiest child I know and I don't know where it started. She is practically back to...

I just got back from my 16 week appointment and everything looks great! My BP was 100/60 (normal for me), and I had only gained 2 pounds since last time. I decided to decline both the AFP and the CF tests. I decided they would just cause too much added stress for me. The doctor measured my...

Hi all, just wanted to say hi and let you know how my appointment went today.. I had to start seeing a specialist because I have type II diabetes but I am now on insulin until the baby is born... I am seeing a really great perinatologist, he is very gentle and is very patient and soft spoken and...

I am based in the UK and have my 16 week appointment today. I have been really disappointed with my ante-natal care up to this point - I am asked to make an appointment with no real knowledge of what is going to happen at them other than today I will be having the second part of the Downs...

At night fall our only girl Madison starts to whinge and cry as if the switch has been flicked to on.She sleeps well at night(12 hours) and is not too bad during daylight hours. Anybody else know what I mean?

Put some 16 week belly pics in the Bellybug album at www.picturetrail.com/andreas_family for your viewing pleasure...or horror ;-) Andrea

Hey all. Firstly, fantastic birth story, Zaz. You are a wonderful courageous woman who is very lucky to have such a wonderful husband - and new baby!! A little update on a Midwife's first pregnancy. I am 16 and a half weeks now, and usually feel the lil bub move at least once or twice a day -...

16 weeks an the morning sickness is finally gone! I even managed to gain a pound last week.

Hi, I'm now 16 weeks pregnant, and the morning sickness has turned into an evening sickness as well now! My doctor prescibed Declactin for me, but it makes me so dizzy I stopped talking it specially cause I travel 1hr by public transportation to work eveyday, and that feeling made it worse! Does...

I'm 16 weeks pregnant. I know the baby is supposed to move a little bit, but i feel like its kicking and i don't think its normal. I feel it "kicking" in different places and sometimes its one hard "kick" and sometimes its a lot of "kicks". It happens all through out the day and im worried...

Yikes- my right hip is starting to go numb when I walk! It starts with an icey, prickly feeling that goes from my hip to above my knee, on the right side, only. It happened for the first time today after I had ridden in a car for 45 minutes and then walked around for a couple of hours straight...
