im having lots of trouble getting comfortable at night. the baby is
constantly kicking and his kicks are getting harder. my nose is stuffy most of the time and i have huge stretch marks on my boobs. i used to have my belly button peirced (but took it out long before i was pregnant) and the holes stretched and moved up. my belly button hasnt popped yet but i think it might within the next month or two. http://community.webtv.net/lindo_84/LindysPictures |

ooh, hairy bellies... another annoying thing!!! i got a serious
bikini wax two months ago and she went up to my belly button, but now i think i need a full-stomach wax! (or at least go out and get a deep tan to hide it) i passed my (blood) glucose test, but apparently i spill lots of glucose in my pee (my last pee test was really high) -- anyone have this problem? and i guess it's all going to junior's head, since that's due a week before the rest of his body!! hehe |

I am glad I am more than half done. I'm not quite weary yet but I feel
so swollen! I feel like I have suddenly gotten HUGE. My belly is way out there, my butt seems bigger, my face, feet, ankles and upper arms look kind of chubby.....YUCK! I am tossing and turning quite a bit in my sleep. It's getting harder to get comfortable. I am more tired and irritable than I would EVER like to be again in my life. But on the positive side everything is going wonderfully, the baby is healthy and I am trying to maintain some knd of "glow". LOL! It's not pregnancy, it's my Estee Lauder skincare products and foundation! Wendy |

writes Into the second half of pregnancy! So it's all swiftly downhill from here, eh? How's everyone feeling? Is your body telling you to start slowing down, taking it a little easier? How is sleeping going -- lots of pillows stuck into every nook? Bellybutton flattening out yet, linea nigra, stretch marks? Are you glowing yet? LOL. Actually, I don't seem to be getting any of this happening, apart from being a bit slowed down, which isn't new with this month but has been going on pretty much since the start. Sleeping fine apart from the usual 4 a.m. trip to the bathroom, not needing any extra pillows, belly button looks the same as ever (apart from being minus the ring, which I had to take out when it got infected), no linea nigra or stretch marks yet, no glow (unless you count being hot & sweaty ;-) ). Main effect I'm currently noticing is that I keep getting hit by moments when I feel really, totally freaked out by the whole thing. I think some of this is due to the whole imminent reality of taking on the world's biggest responsibility 24/7 and the realisation that this is it - no going back, no automatic weekend or holiday leave, no opting out if I don't like the job. While I have no doubts at all about my decision to have children, that doesn't stop it being an awesome and scary thought. A lot of it, also, is stuff I find less easy to define properly in words - the closest I can get is to say that I'm someone who has always had a hard time dealing with other people and dealing with vulnerability, and it looks as if there's going to be quite a lot of both in my imminent future. So, several times a day and usually out of the blue, I suddenly get hit by this 'Aaaaaarrrrrrgggghhh!! Omigod...... feeling of dread that's hard to pinpoint or define. Don't get me wrong - I feel fine most of the time, but this has definitely become much more of a feature these past several weeks. Anyone else out there who's going through/has previously gone through the same thing? I figure it must be pretty common - after all, pregnancy and birth are a major big deal, so going through a freaked-out stage about the enormity of all this must be fairly normal. But it'd help right now to hear that from someone else as well. ;-) All the best, Sarah -- "I once requested an urgent admission for a homeopath who had become depressed and taken a massive underdose" - Phil Peverley |

I have definitley had my moments of self doubt and dread. Although I am 39,
I somehow feel too young to have a kid?!? (Now that is weird!) It doesn't help that every other person says to you, in the most somber tone, "It is going to change your entire life entirely". My response is Good! DH and I tried for almost three years for this little one and lost three pg's along the way. Three years full of no drinking, odd diets, lots of bad advice, fertility drugs, no spending money, sadness, depression and pain. And now look how much we have to look forward to! When I feel anxious I just remember how many people have kids when they are truly not ready emotioanlly or financially. Somehow 99% of all parents muscle through and manage to raise decent healthy kids! Best of luck to you- Erin edd #1 with "Trooper" not her real name ;-) "Sarah Vaughan" wrote in message ...

How wonderful that it's finally worked for you. And I do indeed keep it in mind that, however daunting the prospect of raising children might be, I would find the prospect of _never_ getting to raise children far worse in the long term. When I feel anxious I just remember how many people have kids when they are truly not ready emotioanlly or financially.

Maybe it's because it took us 13 months to get a positive test result, so there was lots of time to think about it in advance. Who knows. |

Nah, you've just had plenty of time to get used to your life the way it is. :-) It doesn't help that every other person says to you, in the most somber tone, "It is going to change your entire life entirely". My response is Oh don't you just *love* that one? ;-) Good! DH and I tried for almost three years for this little one and lost Wow. 3 years. It's funny, because some people say wow to me when I tell them that it took us a bit over a year, but I never feel that it was really all that long when I think of people who have had to wait multiple years. Way to go! (I only started getting stressed out about the length of time towards the end, so it never really got a chance to get to me in a big way) |

My husband says this to people (the thing about changing your life). One of his lines is "You're not even going to recognize yourself in the mirror." I should talk to him about it -- I'm still not sure what exactly he means! --Helen |
