Re: March Mommies to be

I am 16 weeks 1 day. Due March 20th but will have a C-section 2 weeks prior due to a known complication. I have a 14month old DD.


I am on Zofran for nausea and puking.

I am going on the 10th (a relative works for a dr) to see if we can get a peak at the gender.


I've gained 4 pounds so far. Not bad considering I had gained 15 by this point the 1st time around.

Re: March Mommies to be

I feel really good!

off topic...went apple picking today and it was a lot fo fun!

Re: March Mommies to be

Re: March Mommies to be

I'm 18w 1d, feeling good, this baby seems to be in training for becoming a soccer player like his Daddy, he seems to like to kick me the most as soon as I lie down in bed at night. My boobs are very sore again the past few days and seem to have grown again. I have my level 2 on Oct 18, I can't wait to see him again. I am still suffering with insomnia, not as bad as it was and I have been getting pretty bad heartburn. Aside from that I feel wonderful. Hope all you ladies are feeling good

Re: March Mommies to be

I'm due March 28th with twins, so I'm sure it will be much before that date.
I'm 15w 4d today and have been showing since 9w. Today is the first day I am wearing maturnity pants and I am sooooooo comfortable. I still fit into all my regular clothes, though, but I couldn't wait to wear my new clothes...
I did have terrible m/s and lost weight the first trimester. I'm having a heck of a time gaining weight. I feel full all the time, so right now I am worrying about that.

Re: March Mommies to be

Hi Everyone! It is so exciting to hear about everyone's progress and to see how many people are due on the same days!

My next apt is 10/17. I'm so anxious. This is the longest stretch I have gone without going to the dr... 4 weeks (I did IVF and was monitored constantly for the first 13 weeks).

I am pretty nervous about all kinds of things, but this morning I am unsure about what I will need to register for! Has anyone thought (or know) about a bundle-me? What kind do you think will be needed for a baby born in late March?

Re: March Mommies to be

Hi! I'm also going to a March (first time) Mommy! I'm a big lurker on this site, but I mean that in a good way- it's so informative and reassuring sometimes to hear that I share the same gripes as other women!

I started off my pg with 24/7 nausea and puking (for the entire 12w), so now it feels GREAT to be able to eat and feel normal again. For those of you who are still nauseous, I feel your pain!

I have my 16w appt tonight and my only concern is that I am not showing too much. I've seen so many other ppl also due in late March and they're HUGE! I just bought my first few pairs of maternity pants and nobody really notices my pregnancy. I have a tiny waist so I'm wondering if it's because I have little to no fat there? People say that I'm "carrying small" I just hope everything is OK with the baby... I guess I'll be reassured tonight!

Re: March Mommies to be

I'm 16 weeks 2 days. Have a clinical with my regualr Ob Wednesday and then next Tuesday for my Level II at my High Risk Dr. office. I have Hyperemisis Gravidarum and finally the past week or more have been feeling some what normal on minimal medication for the MS. the past 3 days have been hard again, but better than usual.
We are having a girl so starting to plan the nursery and get things done that need to before her arrival. Less than 5 months to go!!!

Re: March Mommies to be

15w 6d- and on Saturday night- I felt flutters for the first time!!!!!
While lying in bed- if I didn't know to look for them, I wouldn't have noticed. It was the coolest feeling ever.

Re: March Mommies to be

16 weeks 6 days today...I just came back from the doctor's....I have real bad insomnia which I believe are giving me bad headaches and my hands are very swollen and hurt in the middle of the night.

My doctor told me its normal, to use the body pillow and try not to have my hands under my head while I'm sleeping. I am also experiencing round ligament pains.

On a better note...I saw our little miracle...he/she looks so big

Re: March Mommies to be

Hey March Mommies,

I'm 15 weeks and a couple days and feeling pretty good! I'm just tired and i am having some pretty bad sciatic nerve pain. It comes and goes at least - some days are worse than others.

My next appointment is at about 18 weeks. The Dr. said they can do the AFP if I'd like then. Did you girls, or are you girls, going to do this test? I think he said it is for spina bifida and downs. I haven't had any other testing yet... and overall my husband and I would probably like to do very little testing if possible........ but i'm just not sure how I feel about this one. This is actually teh first test we've been offered.

I guess I wonder...... are there falst negatives/positives for this test? If they DO find something wrong, is there anythign at all they coudl even do at this point? I mean, I would imagine there isn't really any treatment you can do during pregnancy for something like this, if they founnd that something might be wrong.

Any insight would be great. TIA, ladies. I'm stressed about this

Re: March Mommies to be

Hi Girls,

Nice to hear everyone's progess.

I am 15w5 days today. I have been sick for 2 days with a cold and horrible sore throat. I had to make a doctors appt tonight....I think it might be strep. I have been feeling very nausea also, haven't really been able to eat the last 2 days. I hate feeling sick

I think I am going shopping this weekend for the first time for maternity clothes.....I can't wait, my pants are starting to get snug.

Re: March Mommies to be

Re: March Mommies to be
