Introduction
I don't know why it took me so long to think of Usenet, given that
pregnancy message boards on the web have been driving me crazy... Hi, I'm Rivka, and I'm 19 weeks pregnant with my first. I'm a 31-year-old psychologist living in Baltimore MD with my 37-year-old husband, who works on a magazine. First baby for both of us, so we're simultaneously excited and scared. We're having a midwife-attended hospital birth - and probably a water birth. So far the pregnancy has gone quite smoothly, except for one thing. I had scoliosis surgery when I was thirteen, and the incision from that surgery curves halfway around my body, from my stomach to my back. In the last few weeks, I've had a lot of pain in the incision area, mostly when I've been sitting for a while. My midwife thinks that my ligaments are pulling at scar tissue, which is exactly as comfortable as it sounds. But other than that, things are good: I feel well (except for the pain) and the baby looked great on our ultrasound! I even think I'm starting to feel her move. I've been enjoying reading the posts here, and I'm looking forward to being part of the group. Rivka EDD: 4/3/05 -- Visit my weblog at http://respectfulofotters.blogspot.com |

Welcome, Rivka, and congratulations. I think you will like it here.
My husband is from Baltimore--his mother still lives there, in Colgate, and we get up there about once a year. Which part are you in?

Hi Rivka,
I'm also 19 weeks pregnant (heading towards 20 tomorrow) with our first, and I'm also in the area! Sorry about the pain you're experiencing. My best wishes to you. I had a tailbone injury a few years ago and now the pain's back, though not so severe that I cannot endure. Have you gotten a flu shot yet? I finally got one yesterday. Min |

Hi, I'm Rivka, and I'm 19 weeks pregnant with my first. Congrats on your first baby. It is so exciteing. I'm a 31-year-old psychologist living in Baltimore MD with my 37-year-old husband, who works on a magazine. First baby for both of us, so we're simultaneously excited and scared. Being scared is normal. We are on our second baby and are scared with this one also. We're having a midwife-attended hospital birth - and probably a water birth.

My midwife thinks that my ligaments are pulling at scar tissue, which is exactly as comfortable as it sounds. Sorry to hear that. Did she give you something that you can rub on the skin? But other than that, things are good: I feel well (except for the pain) and the baby looked great on our ultrasound! I even think I'm starting to feel her move. That is always exciting to feel the baby I've been enjoying reading the posts here, and I'm looking forward to being part of the group.
