Fixed August 2005 Where's Everyone At (Pregnancy Version)
For some reason I cut and paste only part of the check in survey. =oP
Sorry about that! How far along are you, and how does that make you feel? Are you feeling and or seeing movement? Does that freak you out or are you the type that pokes the belly to get a reaction? Are you swelling? Are your feet changing sizes? Do you rings still fit? Or if you are earlier along, are you bloated? Or softball in the gut feeling? Can you sleep on your belly or is that no longer an option? Are you craving anything? Do you have or had morning sickness? Is DH or ds/dd noticing anything, or acting oddly? Are you pets acting differently? If you could change one thing about this pregnancy symptom wise what would it be? What's your favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Are people just patting your belly like it or not? What's the strangest sensation you've felt? Do you have a foot in your ribs? Blueberry, strawberry, or surpriseberry? Are you nesting? If so, what form did it take? Did you expect pregnancy to be like this? Laurel -- birthmom to Bj 4-12-96 mommy to Juliet 4-13-02 and someone new due 8-14-05 |

writes For some reason I cut and paste only part of the check in survey. =oP Sorry about that! How far along are you, and how does that make you feel? 15 weeks. Don't really feel anything; in denial I think. Are you feeling and or seeing movement? Does that freak you out or are you the type that pokes the belly to get a reaction? Think I can feel flutterings but not entirely sure. Are you swelling? Are your feet changing sizes? Do you rings still fit? Or if you are earlier along, are you bloated? Or softball in the gut feeling? Had to take my rings off @ 5 weeks :-( Can you sleep on your belly or is that no longer an option? Nope. Wish I could. Are you craving anything? Sleep! Do you have or had morning sickness? Yes, had, mostly gone now. It was generally ok in the mornings but got worse throughout the day. Is DH or ds/dd noticing anything, or acting oddly? Are you pets acting differently? DH same as ever. DD too young to be aware really. Cats as psycho as ever! If you could change one thing about this pregnancy symptom wise what would it be? The exhaustion. I just do not have the energy to enjoy my lovely daughter and that is a shame, because she's at a wonderful age. And the depression. I get antenatal depression with knobs on. Not fun. What's your favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Still waiting to work that one out. I really don't do pregnancy well. I'm happy enough that I'll be having another baby, but there's nothing enjoyable about this bit. Are people just patting your belly like it or not? No, and they'd better not. What's the strangest sensation you've felt? Do you have a foot in your ribs? Nothing to report. Blueberry, strawberry, or surpriseberry? Surpriseberry, but I'm fairly sure it's a boy. Are you nesting? If so, what form did it take? Yes, I think so... I just *have* to get a new car. Not new, you understand, still several years old, but an improvement on what we've got. Did you expect pregnancy to be like this? Well... not really. My last pregnancy was hell from start to finish, but this isn't as bad. I was sick throughout the whole thing last time, which made dietary control of my diabetes impossible. This time, now that the sickness has eased, I'm managing to eat proper food & keeping nice flat sugars. *Thus far* (fingers crossed) I don't need insulin :-) -- Mogget |

How far along are you, and how does that make you feel?
I'm only 7 weeks along Are you feeling and or seeing movement? Does that freak you out or are you the type that pokes the belly to get a reaction? and can alreadly feel it little "t ball" sized thing moving around Can you sleep on your belly or is that no longer an option? That's the only way I can sleep IS THAT A BAD THING???? Do you have or had morning sickness? All day everyday What's your favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Tell our families about it Are people just patting your belly like it or not? I don't like people touching me and I hate it when people thaty I don't know come up and touch me. I want to break their hands!! I loved answering these questions because I can't do alot of the thing I normaly do. I'm so board and I can't nest I'm in my mother-in-laws house but I do have the needed to nest, hard thing to stop. So I garden instead. I was just reading the questions and started laughting to myself ,like yeah this is me down to a "T". Love the Q and A, Julie moma-to-be |

Just a hunch really. My first was a girl, and there are a few things about this pregnancy that are different, which leads me to think that this might be a boy. Plus the timing... sex two and a half days before ovulating, more likely to be a boy, I think. Other way round, I think - male sperm swims faster, female sperm lives longer, so it's sex on the day of ovulation that's most likely to lead to a boy, AIUI. However, we're talking small offsets from 50% in any case... Good luck for appreciating the benefits of whichever it turns out to be :-) Sidheag DS Colin Oct 27 2003 |

"SuperEeyore" wrote in message ... How far along are you, and how does that make you feel? I'm 31w5d I feel a little anxious. I have a lot to get in order before this baby is born. I had planned on an October baby, and now I have a mid-September baby! Are you feeling and or seeing movement? Does that freak you out or are you the type that pokes the belly to get a reaction? Feeling and seeing movement. Love it. Are you swelling? Are your feet changing sizes? Do you rings still fit? Or if you are earlier along, are you bloated? Or softball in the gut feeling? It's hot, but I'm not experiencing much swelling. My rings fit, but they do get tight by the end of the day, so I don't wear them much. Can you sleep on your belly or is that no longer an option? Amazingly enough, I still fall asleep on my belly to a degree. I usually wake flat on my back, though. Are you craving anything? Not really. Do you have or had morning sickness? I didn't have morning sickness this time around. Is DH or ds/dd noticing anything, or acting oddly? Are you pets acting differently? Nah, they're all the same orneriness as usual. If you could change one thing about this pregnancy symptom wise what would it be? How tired I am What's your favorite part of your pregnancy so far? I always, always love the movement. I also love being pregnant and how I look when I am. Never have to worry about sucking in my gut...lol I dread postpartum because I just won't look so cute anymore. Are people just patting your belly like it or not? People don't touch my belly. What's the strangest sensation you've felt? Do you have a foot in your ribs? Been having a head in my ribs on the right-hand side! Blueberry, strawberry, or surpriseberry? Cat's out of the bag here...blueberry Are you nesting? If so, what form did it take? Well, I'm only nesting out of pure necessity... not drive, desire, or ambition. Painting the bathroom trim and trying to get through the room full of stuff to the ceiling. Did you expect pregnancy to be like this? Not really. I expected to be more ill. I'm not complaining, though. I also didn't expect to have GD, and such a high-intervention pregnancy. Somedays I hate it, and I want to completely walk away from the medical establishment and all the insurance ****. -- Joy Rose 1-99 Iris 2-01 Spencer 3-03 # 4 Sept 2005 |

How far along are you, and how does that make you feel? 38w3 days (sound familiar? We have the same due date :-) ). I have mixed feelings, I'm really looking forward to meeting this baby but I'm enjoying my maternity leave and still feel very fit and mobile so won't mind if he stays inside for another three weeks or so (at least I think so now, don't know how I'll feel in two weeks :-) ) Are you feeling and or seeing movement? Does that freak you out or are you the type that pokes the belly to get a reaction? Movement has decreased a lot, I see and feel him shift occasionally, there's not much room for kicks. Are you swelling? Are your feet changing sizes? Do you rings still fit? Or if you are earlier along, are you bloated? Or softball in the gut feeling? Nope, no swelling, rings still fit. Can you sleep on your belly or is that no longer an option? No way. Are you craving anything? Not really, don't have much of an apetite anyways, think I've run out of room. Do you have or had morning sickness? Occasionally still. Last time I threw up is 12 weeks ago but still nauseous occasionally. It seems to be getting worse again too. Is DH or ds/dd noticing anything, or acting oddly? Are you pets acting differently? Well - it's hard not to notice :-). DD often puts her head on my belly to listen to the baby (don't know what she actually hears but it's cute). The other day he had hiccups and she giggled every time she felt him hiccup, that was really cute too :-). My horse keeps on gently nudging my belly with his nose. If you could change one thing about this pregnancy symptom wise what would it be? No more heartburn! What's your favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Feeling the movement, seeing people look at me and then see their eyes slide to my big belly. Are people just patting your belly like it or not? Nope, never have done thankfully. What's the strangest sensation you've felt? Do you have a foot in your ribs? I hear this weird noise when I bend over, it feels funny too. I think it's air in my stomach or something. DH sometimes suspects there's a piglet in there :-). Blueberry, strawberry, or surpriseberry? Blueberry Are you nesting? If so, what form did it take? My cupboards have never been this neat. Did you expect pregnancy to be like this? It's more or less the same as last time round, so yes. But last time I couldn't imagine that a baby would actually come out of that belly, I had no idea what it would be like. This time I'm really looking forward to that first moment of the baby being put on your belly and finally meeting him! Cath Mom to Fenna 07/05/03 Due 08/14/05 |

How far along are you, and how does that make you feel? 34 weeks today, mostly excited, but anxiety starting to creep in now... Are you feeling and or seeing movement? Does that freak you out or are you the type that pokes the belly to get a reaction? Baby moves lots, and I love it, yes, I poke to get a kick! Are you swelling? Are your feet changing sizes? Do you rings still fit? Or if you are earlier along, are you bloated? Or softball in the gut feeling? I've had slight swelling from the beginning, it's stayed the same. Rings are a bit tight by the end of each day. Can you sleep on your belly or is that no longer an option? I never did, but I certainly couldn't now. I love my body pillow, best thing I ever treated myself to. Are you craving anything? Nope. It's more what I've gone off, mostly stuff that was bad for me anyway. I'm eating really healthily this time around. Do you have or had morning sickness? The worst went away at 14-16 weeks, but I still get nauseous if I don't eat breakfast immediately on waking, and I have to wait until mid morning to clean my teeth as I have a very sensitive gag reflex. Is DH or ds/dd noticing anything, or acting oddly? Are you pets acting differently? DH has noticed that I snore now. DD's haven't said they've noticed anything much, other than that I am getting really big! If you could change one thing about this pregnancy symptom wise what would it be? Hot sweats. If it weren't for the fact that I'm pregnant, you'd think I'd hit the menopause :-( What's your favorite part of your pregnancy so far? Feeling my belly roll around, and all the jabs and hiccups. Are people just patting your belly like it or not? Not happened yet (but my brother in law is visiting tonight, so there's time yet, he's the most likely culprit!) It's more that people feel they have the right to comment that annoys me. I've had so many total strangers telling me, out of the blue, how low my bump is (yeah, I know!!), and their disbelief when I tell them how long I still have to go... What's the strangest sensation you've felt? Do you have a foot in your ribs? The strangese sensation is my belly button popping in and out as a foot/bottom etc press against it. I am starting to get a foot in the ribs, which is sore, because I have scar tissue from previously cracked ribs which has hurt me for years. Blueberry, strawberry, or surpriseberry? It's a secret ) Are you nesting? If so, what form did it take? From 12 weeks onwards, I bought all the baby stuff. The last few weeks, I've been sorting the drawers/clothes, sorting the nursery, and nagging DH to finish all the little decorating jobs which have slipped by for a while - stuff like putting up wallpaper borders and painting ceilings generally in the house. I have managed to get him to build a bedroom divider as well. ) Did you expect pregnancy to be like this? No, I thought I would be sicker, as I was with my last two. This is definitely my last baby, being 40 and my third caesarian, and I am savouring every special minute of it -- Grymma AFPOh Goddess Of Hangovers; B.F.(use 'reply to') DD Jan '88, DD Aug '94, EDD 14 Sept 2005 |

But I thought that two and a half days before ovulating was short enough to favour a boy. If I've managed to favour a girl, that's fab. With DD, we had only had sex ten days before ovulating. Everyone says sperm can live for seven days. Not Mr Mogget's supersperm heh, Good luck for appreciating the benefits of whichever it turns out to be :-) Heh. Well you've got to, haven't you? This is MY BABY, regardless of which set of bits it's got. -- Mogget |
