Re: PG Check In!

  • Why hello! I get to play this week =)

    I'm doing ok. Boobs are the sorest they have ever been in my life. I am also seriously constipated which is um difficult lol. Other than that just trucking along. Can't wait for my first appointment on 3/21 when we get to encounter the dildo-cam

  • That was the worst part for me Alicia! For the constipation, take some Miralax, it's safe while preggo, I had that in the begging also and they told me to take it.  It's not horrible(like pooping your brains out after taking it either). It just made me so much more comfy.
  • I can't believe I'm 27 weeks already!

    I'm doing good, except I have this weird pain at the top of my belly. It feels like a rip in my ab muscles. Not fun... She definitely has a schedule, which I love. And I feel like a beached whale, which sucks cause I'm only going to get bigger. I told DH that I look like a beached whale, his reply was "a pregnant beached whale, though!" Uhhh, thanks babe.. that didn't help at all.  lol.


    Leesh, I drank/drink V8 with Fiber, and never had/have an issue. In fact I started pooing better than I did pre-pregnancy. So if you can stand tomato juice, I would try that also. In fact, I like the V8 + fiber better than regular V8.

  • We had a last minute ultrasound on Friday because I have developed a lovely yeast infection. The baby had tripled in size in a week and 2 days and looks great. My next appointment is 3/23 when I will be at 11w2d. I am still having fatigue, my boobs hurt, occasional mild nausea, some food/smell aversions. I have a bump starting to pop out now.

    We are getting ready to leave TN after telling our whole family. Everyone is so excited. It is weird we went from 5 people (and you girls) knowing, to like 100 people between everyone texting and calling other family and friends.


    I heart Ben!!

  • Morning!

    *Aleesh*, while I like to pretend the apple I have every day helps, I also have Kiwi often and Fiber One muffins. DO NOT buy the Fiber One bars they are tasty but will wreck your stomache.

    *Wedding* booo to being uncomfortable, I was just reading about PUPS in one of my books, is that what your rash is? I guess it only happens during a first pregnancy.

    *Mar* I can't believe you are either!!!!

    I guess I fell harder than I wanted to admit on Friday because I was really sore all weekend, and started obsessing with feeling Pocket Pookums. I had to run in and get some work done Saturday and also drop something off to a customer which was probably good because it took my mind off of obsessing for a bit.

    I put in in the Monday post too but I am still flying a little high about being able to make my version of chicken Parm without gagging. It's a big step for me. I still can't do my iron supplement but so far all my blood work has looked fine.

    I had my blood draw for the quad screen last Wednesday and haven't heard back which I am taking as a good sign (as the nurse said it was LOL) . Oh and we find out the sex on Wednesday yay!!

    I'm definitely going to have to try that! Thanks for the suggestion. Right now I'm just adding Benefiber and we shall see how today goes =/

    Ugh tomato juice makes me want to barf, but if it gets too bad I will definitely have to try it!

    This totally made me LOL. Scott refused to eat them as he has no issues. I mostly would have horrible gas pains then they would 'strike' at the worst possible time.

    Big Smile  yeah ditto on the gas pains. Not fun at all. I'm thinking of also switching to activia just so I can increase the regularness. I was able to go today but oh so painful Crying

  • Sorry you're constipated Aleesh.  My doctor recommends taking a stool softener every day.  She says it's fine.  So far I haven't needed too.  The one time I was really constipated I went to McD's and got a Big Mag.  It worked its magic within minutes.  I hate the even without constipation it is harder to poop in general now.

    I'm still nauseous but haven't thrown up yet today and didn't yesterday.  Still tired all the time.  Hoping it goes away real soon.  I was 11weeks yesterday.

    Had my first u/s this morning.  I have a couple pics I'll post in a new thread.  Let's just say I have a very active little one who did not want to cooperate for measurements.  I go back for my next appt on 3/25.  I should be 14w5d then.  I don't get another u/s till the anatomy scan around 20 weeks.

  • Doing well - I had my regular monthly appointment today (23 weeks 3 days) and am up 10 lbs and measuring right on track.  I also had my fetal echo today and everything was perfect there too!  I'm so excited to not have any more ultrasounds. My hormones are crazy - I cried 3 times yesterday for no good reason. I was just really sad yesterday (??) I apologized to MH, he was probably like WTF is going on!?  My 2nd tri symptoms are much worse than my 1st. 

    We put the crib up this weekend.  That's all that is in the room right now. I hope to make more progress next weekend.   

    Glad everyone is doing well - I haven't had any digestive issues, but my iron supplement is going up, so they may change in a couple days!
