Happy Second Trimester

[Joyce49788]

my 14 yr old daughter is Caitlin Elizabeth
my 12 yr old son is Travis Scott
and my 6 yr old son is Hunter Micheal


does Carolanne Rose go with the other names or do you think just Carol Ann would be a better choice?

Carol is for my mom who was Carolyn(died Sept 04) and Ann is MY middle name....lol

[Maria2707]

Joyce-Carol Ann is very nice... so you have your name and your mom's name. Thats a wonderful thought. :)

Eternidad- You are so right. We never stop worrying. If one ends another starts. By the way are you getting any kind creamish discharge from down there? Its not much, but its there. I looked up on the internet and some places say its normal. I should call and ask my doctor.

[eternidad200]

Maria- I definitly been having withis discharge, first was mor clear now is getting a little bit thicker (TMI) but doc say is o. and as long as is white is fine if yellow than to worry and call her bc might be some infection.

Joyce- I think all your kids names are so beautiful and they all go together well. Nice of you to name your little one after your mom. You are such a fine lday.
LOL

Hello girls,
I think I should start a new thread next week? Its getting quiet long ...
Like Maria and Eternidad, I get the discharge, TMI, it is more clear than creamish but it is good, that's what suppose to happen (protecting us from infection!)...Nurse just called and said that my test on delivering in the next 2 weeks came back NEGATIVe, so I am pretty happy since my BH got a little stronger...
How about you Eternidad? They don't take my breath away but I can feel the uterus tightening...
Also my baby is very active in the evening, night and morning, what about you?
She is still kicking VERY low but sometimes moves up to belly button :)

I will wait to see my doc at 28 weeks, have a glucose test done and then go on a little trip...I just want to get away to a hot weather :)

[Anya1984]

I can't wait to be 90 days on that scale! I can't believe I only get 17 days to go! WOHO!

Joyce- I love the name you want to have for your baby girl, it is trully beautiful!

[eternidad200]

Anya- maybe is moving a lot, more when I am at work  and at night, still kind of low too. BH have gone, not feeling them anymore.

[Joyce49788]

thanks for the comments on the name... that is just what i am thinking about but will probably change my mind a dozen times in the next couple of months... doesnt seem like it is that close already, but it is. as for my situation, i am feeling better about it... i guess i am just upset at myself that i made one more bad decision in my love life. it just burns me. kids are adjusting, and we are trying to go from day to day but they have had a couple of REALLY bad days (today and yesterday) and i am hoping the good days come along very soon. i have a full week coming up. appointments nearly every day... and next friday i have to take a trip downstate to Saginaw to drop my son off with his grandmother to go to North Carolina for Spring Break. i HATE vacations..ugh!!!!!

anyhow sounds like everyone is doing good, i am so glad to hear it. please keep us posted if anything comes up. oh btw Wednesday i have my doc appt... every 2 weeks now.. so that is exciting, makes the days go by fast...lmao

[eternidad200]

Joyce- hopefully life will be better and things will start turning around for you and your sweet little one. I think we have all made bad decisions at certain points in our life, what it counts is not the fall but the getting up, and you sound like a very strong capable women. So whatever comes along you are going to bebable to rise to the occasion and find ways around it. Besides you have your kids, and the right partner will come along for you.
Treat yourself to something, an icecram, or a massage or do someting with girlfriends to bring your spirit up.
LOL and hugs dear friend.

Hello girls!
Hope you all had a nice weekend. I still get pelvic bone pain on the right side. This becomes more when I go to bed. Also if I exert myself much or stand for a long time, my right side of the bottom starts paining and the pain travels down my thighs. I mentioned this to my on and he said it is the sciatic nerve. Is anyone having same symptoms?

Anya- good to hear that everything is fine. I guess the white discharge is common then. I too feel the baby very low. I don't understand why it's low when the baby has already reached above the belly button. Today I did not feel much and was stressed out. As I came to lay in bed I could feel some flutters.

Eternidad-So we you are getting the disharge too. I was so hesitant to mention it here as I felt it was TMI. It's good that we can share here. By the way, do you still get the pain around your belly button?

Joyce- We understand what you are going through. You will find a suitable partner one day. We are all here to support you.

Zuz- must be having good time in Florida.

Dreamgirl- how are you doing? Did you apply for your mom's visa?

[Maria2707]

Anyone around?

[dream_girl377]

Hi girls, big hug to all of you. Sorry I didn't post for a little while, and I have been busy working and shopping. I am having very bad lower back pain during my sleep. I woke up every two or three hours to change my position. Put a pillow between legs only helps a little bit.  
I am glad to know all of your appointments and checkups are went well. I have not done the cervix checking for "next two week's delivery", should I get tested?
We picked a paper wall for the nursery room, we only will do one wall with the paper wall and paint the rest. The paper wall's color mainly baby blue, and yellow with little bit green. We plan to get the work done in late April or May. So still lots of time to think.
Other than this, we have not bought any furnatures yet and just have been looking around.  

Skipi, I did my u/s last Thursday, and the tech. didnot tell me about the status of my placenta, she said she is not suppose to say anything :( so I have to wait until my dr. appoint. I hope it does move up.

Maria, ZUZ,  I am preparing the documents for my mom's visa and I know there is always chance it get turns down,I hope not. I want her to be here so badly. Thank you for keeping me in your prayer.

Eternidad, it will be fun to buy cute maternity cloth for summer. I think I will be huge by then, LOL.  I may only could ware one month and then it will be the time for labor.

Anya, you can take a trip, don't worry about it. Your belly is not that big, so it should be easier for you on the road. Just make sure to walk around every two hours, drink lots of water and eat snacks.

Joce, I am so sorry about what happened between you and your bf. It must be tough for you to go through this now.I think the good thing is you have your children around you which will bring you so much joys and supports. But take care of yourself and your little baby girl.  Is your family around who can help you when you in the hospital?

Eternidad - lucky you not feeling BH anymore...I can say that I definately get few of them every day  even though my cervix is really closed and all the tests are good ..

Like Maria, I get the weird pains in my right ovary....yesterday I had the pain all day long and it was stubing...also I get pains sometimes when I pee..

Oh, and the worst..
I had this dream last night where the girl is keep stubbing me on my stomach with a car key and I can't breath...GUESS WHAT?! Apperantly, I was laying on my back and I guess that vessel was cut off!!! So when I woke up and realized that my breathing is horrible, I turned to the side....serioously, I am so scared to sleep on my back and I keep turning to my back and last night it really did happen....Im more concerned now...need to be more careful not to sleep on my back!

Went swimming today, it was great!  I feel the baby more in the morning and at night, not so much during the day....another 3 weeks till my appt, can't wait to have that glucose test done!

[eternidad200]

Hi girls, doing well here.

Maria- the pain around my belly button still here, usually is more pronounce after my 12 hours of work.

Anya- yes no more BH, but at times still get lower pelvic pain right on the middle, hubby and doc say is my pelvic bone making room for baby to lay on it more comfortable.

Dreamgirl- Back pain at night is not much fun, after I work 12 hours my back and belly are killing me, but the next day I feel good. Pillow between legs helps sometimes but others is just in the way.

[Maria2707]

Hello Girls!!
  Hope everyone is doing fine. I am having this pelvic bone pain and its getting bad everyday. Sometimes it gets difficult to walk and worst is when I try to turn over in the bed.
Today morning I had very bad dream..It was my baby and I lost it. It was so crazy ..I woke up and started shaking. I don't understand why would have dream such a bad dream. Its still worrying me.

Eternidad- I too get the pain around my belly button once in a while and also recently my lower abdomen is paining. I guess it must be the ligament pulling.

[Anya1984]

Maria- did you read my bad dreams? I get them everyday now, its always something..I woke up screaming last night....I think we are just so worried about are little ones right now that it gives us bad dreams...
I advise you not to worry but I know it is hard!

[eternidad200]

Maria and Anya- I think is normal having bad dreams about the baby, guess is bc they are more real to us in our minds, so we worry about things going wrong.
My pain on the pelvic bone is there too,, if I move in bed gets worse, guess is belly getting bigger and baby moving around too.

[Anya1984]
