May Mommies

How are we doing?? What are we up to?


I am 17 weeks. I have my level 2 on Dec 31. I am so excited. I can't wait to see the baby again because honestly I am getting a little concerned because I don't think I have really felt the baby yet. But I felt my daughter very late too. My stomach as definitely not as big as it was with my DD and I am carrying different. I am predicting boy for me though we are not finding out. I feel great just tired because I am definitely not getting enough sleep.

How is everyone else?

Re: May Mommies

Hello
I am due May 17th and wil be 18 weeks tomorrow. I had what may have been contractions yesterday, so I got to find out the sex of the baby a little earlier than expected. We are having a !!! Because of my "contractions" and my cervix being shorter than what the dr. would like, I am supposed to be taking it easy and staying off my feet, no lifting, etc. I guess this means I have to stop my walking and yoga for now. I am going to be closely monitored (the cervix) so I get another sono on Monday.
I have a level 2 scheduled for Jan 2nd with specialists, because they saw a small cyst on the baby. The dr. assured this is common and will go away, but they want to do a more detailed u/s just incase. Another thing to worry about!!!
Other than my contraction incident yesterday, I am feeling GREAT! I finally got a little bit of energy back. So far I gained 12 pounds and am enjoying watching my belly grow

Re: May Mommies

Hi! I am 16 weeks today. My due date is May 30th. I feel great! I would say that I feel pretty much the same as the last pregnancy just a little more tired than the last time. Most people think I'm having a boy but I'm still not sure what I think yet. I still haven't gained any weight, which is great for me since I'm overweight to start. I've actually lost about 5 pounds. I go for my 20 week on January 10. We are not going to find out what we're having. I just love feeling this baby and can't wait till I really start feeling the kicks. Right now I'm only feeling the little flutters. Kiera can't wait to become a big sister. She is so excited.

Re: May Mommies

Hi everyone, I'm due May 22. I feel great. I'm not even tired anymore. I'm waiting patiently to feel the baby. I'm 17 weeks. Last week, i felt little bubbles, but i haven't felt anything since. I'm going for my Level 2 on Jan. 8, can't wait!!!! Dying to find out what we are having. I'm hoping girl, but as long as i have a healthy baby, that's all that matters. Good luck everyone!

Re: May Mommies

I'm 16w, 4 days today. Due on 5/26. Went to OB on tuesday and set up Level II US for Jan 2nd but DH might not be able to wait that long so I'm going to see if we can get a 3D sono set up for christmas week (Thanks KellyDance, you gave him the 'bug'). I thought my MS was gone being that I'm well into the 2nd trimester so I tried stopping my Zofran and got violently sick yesterday - so I'm sticking with the medication for the time being. Other than that, I feel pretty good. I lost about 7 lbs in the beginning of my first trimester being so sick with MS and since then I only gained 4 total back. Although, looking at my belly I'd have to say differently!

Hope everyone is feeling good!!!!!

Re: May Mommies

I am 16 weeks, due May 29. I am still so sick all the time. So far I am down 11 lbs from when I started. I dont think I am really showing at all, its strange to lose weight, but outgrow your clothes, none of my jeans will button. I have a doppler at home, and I was finally able to hear the heartbeat at home on Sunday, I was very excited. Level II is scheduled for January 9th, I cant wait.

Re: May Mommies

I'm 17 weeks, due May 24th. So far I'm feeling pretty good. The tiredness is slowly going away, but it's being replaced by heartburn! As of last weekend, I've gained 10 lbs. I still haven't felt the baby - can't wait for that to happen.
Our ultrascreen results were not the greatest, so we saw a genetic counselor on Monday and right now we're discussing whether or not to get an amnio
We go for our 20 wk sono on Jan. 8th - can't wait!!

Re: May Mommies

I'm 17 weeks, due 5/21. Just starting to get my energy back. Although now heartburn keeps me up at night.

Haven't scheduled my level 2 yet but have my next appt on 12/20 so I will schedule it then. We aren't finding out the sex of the baby, so we are patient to get an appointment.

I am waiting for this baby to actively tell me it's there. I can't wait to feel this baby move.

Re: May Mommies

It was so nice to read everyone's post!!

I'm 17 weeks, due may 21st. We are having our level II done on Jan 2nd...but cheating and finding out the sex at a 3D on Dec 22nd! (Laura, you should make yours the same day...that would be cool!)

I've been feeling little futters every once in awhile!! Can't wait to feel this little Peanut kick!

Re: May Mommies

Hi all -- I'm finally 16 weeks and due on May 28th. Something about the 16 week mark made me happy. I think it was that I could say I am 4 months and starting my 5th month. Well that plus I feel my energy level coming back!
So far I've gained 7 lbs and we have our Level II scheduled for Jan 8th ( a very popular day!). I cant wait to see the little one again! I havent felt the baby yet or I think i havent. I'm not totally sure what I am looking to feel. I just cant wait for a good strong kick

Re: May Mommies

Hi May Mommies, it's good to check in with all of you. I will be 17 weeks tomorrow and due on May 23rd. So far I can't really say I've felt the baby? Maybe I have, but nothing consistent or strong. I'm looking forward to feeling some kicks. I was feeling good for a while, not tired anymore etc., but Monday and Tuesday I was back to feeling really crappy (tired and just not myself). Hopefully this passes quickly and everything is alright with the baby.
I just really popped this week and now feeling more pregnant.

My level II is scheduled for Friday, January 4th, we are not finding out the sex but it is always exciting to see the baby!

Re: May Mommies

I'm feeling good, I'm 19 weeks and I go for my level 2 after christmas!! Were not finding out the sex, but I just can't wait to see the baby again. I'm actually going to be an April mom since I'm having a scheduled c-section the last week in April.

Re: May Mommies

I am 17weeks and 2 days.

This week I got some really good news with my quad screen results and I got to hear the baby's heartbeat!!

I have my level II sono scheduled for December 31st. We don't plan on finding out the sex, but we are looking forward to getting new sono pictures for the scrapbook, and getting to see how the baby has grown.

I have not felt any flutters yet, but I am hoping that I will start to feel them soon.

Hello! I'll be 19 weeks on Saturday and we go on December 24 for our sono and we're going to find out the sex of the baby!! I cannot wait! I've been feeling really good and everyone has been noticing how much I've "popped" lately! I have a feeling it might be a boy, but I don't really know why!

Re: May Mommies

I'm 20 weeks tomorrow!!
Feeling great and glad I am not as tired. I found out its a girl last week, but have my offical level 2 on sat. Can't wait to see her again.
Feeling some flutters, but can't wait for it to be more regular.

Re: May Mommies

I'm 16 weeks, 3 days. I feel great, just tired (but not as tired as I was in the first trimster!).

I haven't weighed myself in 3 weeks so I'm not sure what I've gained, my guess is 5-8 lbs based on how much I weighed 3 weeks ago.

I see a belly but no one else can tell. I told some coworkers today and they were shocked!

Re: May Mommies

Hi everyone!
I'm in the end of my 18th week. Still no flutters...i've felt some odd things but i'm not sure what they are. We're going for our level II monday!! i can't wait.
I've been feeling really good. So much better this month and people are definitely starting to notice my belly although i am definitely carrying on the smaller side.

here's to more happy and healthy months

Re: May Mommies

I'm 19 weeks as of today! Due about May 9, but will probably be induced due to my blood clotting disorders and the blood thinner I take.

I feel lousy most of the time, tired, back hurts, get winded very easily and dizzy. I used to enjoy exercise, but I can't seem to handle it at this point. I had no morning sickness, and I don't feel the baby move really either. I was hoping to by now, but I hear it can take a while. I had "belly pains" little pinches that are growing pains from what I understand. Most of the time people can't tell I'm pregnant, but I'm starting to show a little bit.

Re: May Mommies

Hello to all the May mommies! Im due on May 16th. I am 18 weeks and I must say I've had so much more energy this past week...I tend to wake up in the middle of the night and then I have trouble going back to sleep! My appetite has definitely increased--I feel like Im hungry so soon after I eat. As for the flutters, I felt them last week and about two days ago but I havn't felt them since--its making me a little nervous--I too can not wait until I really start feeling kicks--Hopefully everything is going well down there...Here's to a healthy and happy nine months to us all
