June 08 Mommies - How are you doing?

Hi Ladies!

I have been given a due date of June 23rd - a few days before my Grandmothers b/day ;)

I'm about to go into my 13th week and am finding I am not quite as tired as I was a few weeks ago (I can make it to 9.30 pm now - I was falling asleep by 8pm! LOL).  Also, I never really had bad morning sickness, I would just get REALLY hungry but there was a 2 week period where I did feel a nauseous if I didn't eat shortly after I felt really hungry.  Anyway, this is much, much better now.  So far I have put on 11 Ilbs!  I told the nurse at the appointment yesterday I haven't really had MS and after weighing me she said "I can tell"!  Hopefully now I am going into the 2nd trimester I wont feel the need to eat as much.

We had an ultrasound a few weeks ago and saw the baby and heartbeat and heard the heartbeat yesterday w/ the Doppler which was exciting - it makes everything so real.  My next appointment is the end of Jan and we should get to find out the sex of the baby a few weeks later.

We HAD planned on telling people I was pregnant in early 2008 but it turns out several people at work could "tell" I was pregnant so the cat is out of the bag now at work anyway (one was a father of 4 who said I had that "special glow" - go figure!).  Our family is scattered around the country (and world) so they will find out as a Christmas gift.  I do feel a little guilty that everyone at work is now going to know I am pregnant before my family but if people notice, what can you do??  I "was" thin (almost underweight) and VERY fit before the pregnancy, so the 11 Ib weight gain cant really be hidden.  The top of my uterus can also quite clearly be felt and is starting to protrude a little.

So.... How is everyone else doing???

I'm due June 11th, I'm 15 weeks now and I am not quite as tired and I have not been as sick at all as I was in other pregnancies. The baby is moving daily now which is nice, I've had an u/s and saw the hb too and heard it on the doppler so things are going well. Everyone knows now because I decided to tell everyone around 13 weeks. Last night I shopped for more maternity clothes because I am just starting to need them a little bit. I've done the opposite of you--I have lost weight and I think I have finally stopped losing weight. All the best in your pregnancy!

hello...  i am due june 19.  i was 13 weeks yesterday.  i'm doing pretty good w/ the m/s as it never got really bad in the first place.  i am also starting to show...  i have gained 4lbs but this is my 4th pregnancy so i think i'm showing sooner b/c of that.  i had an appt on thursday and got to hear the h/b for the first time as well.  they only found it for like 2 seconds before the baby moved and then they couldn't find it again.  i was in a room w/ an ultrasound machine in it so they turned it on and i saw the h/b that way (it was 153).  and next thursday i'm re-doing my 12 week scan (do to the baby being too small last time) and the lady told me she should be able to tell me the sex of the baby...  i can't wait!!!  we have 3 girls and i can't wait to see if we are going to have another one or add a boy to the mix!!!  :)

glad to hear you're doing good too!

I am not sure about my due date i was told on thursday that i am 12 weeks and i don't feel so tired as i was too, i lost 13 pounds since the begining of my pregnancy donow why? we did 4 u/s so far, because i am considered high risk , we saw the hb in the last two one the baby is doing so good, and he is moving i am not feeling it, however i felt something one time , it was like a mouse in my lower abdomen, donow what is this. it could be a movement and could just be the stretching, i am not sure, how long is yours, mine is about 2.51 cm, it is like 1 inch maybe as of last week.
Good to talk to someone in the same booth. i don't know the hb rate though, my doctor tell me that it is too soon.
good luck to all of you!

i'm due june 14th, i'm 14 weeks now. i think i've already gained 6 lbs. so far. i also feel the baby move once in a while. not consistantly yet though. i'll be having another u/s on jan 18th at 19 weeks. i can't wait, i want to know what i'm having. i already have two boys and a lil girl. so it really don't matter which it is. i just want to start buying now. i still have slight ms somedays but not bad. i'm glad to hear everyone is going good.

Hello Ladies,  I am now 16w2d and due June 1st.  I just found out at my appt. yesterday that we don't find out the sex until I am 24 weeks...What kind of **** is that??.. My husband and I were so upset to hear that.  We heard the heartbeat which is at 156 bpm.  It was at 171 bpm at my 10 1/2 week ultrasound.  I just can't believe I have to go a whole 2 months without an appt. seeing how I am suppose to be high risk with the 2 m/c and 1 ectopic I had in the past. I had all day sickness from 6 1/2 weeks til about 13 weeks and I lost about 12 lbs.  I am starting to gain some wight back now. I am 5' 3 and 105 as of now.  I am hardly showing at all. I haven't felt the baby at all either.  My doc said that most people wont feel the baby til about 20 +  weeks. I rented a home doppler so that I could hear the heartbeat whenever I wanted and it is so nice.  I have been feeling a lil sore in my lower abdomen, especially on the right side. Some mild cramping too.  I hope that is normal and it's caused by stretching.  Well, hope everyone is doing great and good luck!!!

wow...  i hope you are feeling much better now!  i'm glad to hear the HB is good and i know it must be nice to be able to hear it whenever you want (i've never had a  doppler at home).  that does suck that you don't get your u/s or even another apt for 2 months.  i agree that if you are considered high risk then you should be seen sooner.  i thought you were supposed to be seen (in a normal pregnancy) every 4 weeks...  have you thought of maybe going on your own to schedule an u/s.  i've never done that either, but i've read on here where some women have done it just to make sure everything was ok or to have a 3D one done.  good luck to you and i hope are feeling better!!!  :)

I am due June 18th and I am today 14 weeks. I had an appointment on the 19th of Novemeber and saw the baby and heartbeat. Yesterday I went back and heard the heartbeat with the doppler. I am suppose to go back on Monday to get the testing done to make sure I will have a healthy baby. And I as well go at the end of January to find out the sex. I am so exciting and cant wait all I really want is my healthy baby. My hubby is crazy about having a lil boy so hopefully he can get his Junior.

Thanks,  I think I will actually make an appointment because I have been having this sore feeling on my right side around my ovary (like maybe it's a cyst) but I don't know.  So, I'm thinking about making an u/s appointment to see what the problem is.  It isn't bad pain but gets worse when I push on it.  I guess we will see.  Thanks again!!
