How's everyone feeling? More than half of us should be in or entering the second trimester now! I plan to update the bump thread later today. I don't want my second child to get the shaft with pictures and baby book like my younger sister did.

I've been having very sporadic nausea which is better than constant nausea but sometimes I gag and dry heave so much that it gives me a tummy ache.

Lets livin this board up!

@LulaBee: all of those things and the hard work your body is doing to make a person! have you thought about getting a Doppler to help ease you through your pregnancy? I have one and every time I feel scared I just find her little heartbeat and I'm instantly reassured. Kicks will come by 24 weeks if not sooner but I really like having the Doppler. I'm sure alls well. That little baby is a fighter!!!

@anya: Ugh, that's rough. I had a cold a few weeks ago and it was miserable.

I've been feeling okay. Just having some insomnia the past week. I think I felt some small kicks last night. I went 13 weeks without gaining weight and now I've gained 3 lbs. I'm gonna try to eat healthier for the next two weeks before my next appointment. I don't want a weight lecture from my OB! My last OB would make me feel guilty every time I gained an extra pound

@MrsMccarthy: I didn't get it yet, but I'll ask at my next appt.

I am still not showing and I vacillate between being happy I fit in all my clothes and can still hide it, and freaking out that something is wrong or I'm not eating enough. I feel like I eat a lot but I also get full really easily so maybe not? Man am I a FTM or what I'm starting to tell people and I feel funny about it, like they might not believe me and my lack of bump.

@MrsMccarthy: I've totally been slacking on taking pics or doing anything for this baby, she is definitely going to be suffering from second child syndrome I've been meaning to start an email address and write notes to her, maybe I'll start that today.

@LAZB I just saw that idea the other day and love it so much! I should start one for this baby and my toddler. I'm not much of a journal writer, so that would be a great way to do it! And hold on to pictures.

Officially being in the second trimester feels so wonderful! The fatigue is still getting me down, but my midwife thinks it's just anemia. (I've had it my whole life, so she's probably right. ) My 14 week appointment went well today, other than that. I've finally stopped losing weight from being sick and gained a couple pounds back. Hopefully adding an iron supplement to my diet can help me get some energy back. How is everyone else feeling as we make our way into the second trimester?

1. How far along today? 15 weeks 3 days

2. EDD? March 9th with a c-section at 36 weeks (around Feb 9)

3. Will you/did you find out the sex or are you team green? Definitely finding out what it is ... I'm too darn impatient

4. Are you in maternity clothes yet? yes, since about week 8! I have a vertical c-section scar from my belly button to bikini line that didn't agree with my tight pants .. although I didn't mind, either. They are so comfy

5. First trimester symptoms? Have they changed? Exhaustion, nausea with gagging ... and it looks like they're staying around for a while. I took Zofran for about 2 weeks before I developed an allergic reaction to it

6. What has been the best thing about your pregnancy so far? Hearing baby's heart beat every dr appt! It's been 142/175/160.

7. What are you looking forward to? Baby moving! and finding out if we have another boy or a girl!

@Anya: hah I feel the same way! Everything dusty or disorganized in our apartment is making me crazy but the thought of actually doing anything about it overwhelms me. Come on second tri energy! I'm waiting for ya to show up!!!

1. How far along today? 14w4d
2. EDD? 3/22
3. Will you/did you find out the sex or are you team green? Team green is the plan!
4. Are you in maternity clothes yet? Somewhat- found three pairs of maternity pants at a consignment store and they are soooo comfy! I'm still wearing regular dresses and tops and I can wear my normal work pants but always wish I hadn't when I do. I also feel like maternity pants make me look more pregnant and less chubby which is a plus.
5. First trimester symptoms? Have they changed? Mostly better- less neauseated and exhausted, though I still have to be careful not to wait too long to eat or push myself too hard.
6. What has been the best thing about your pregnancy so far? Seeing who in my life is so excited for/ already loves this baby so much!
7. What are you looking forward to? A legit bump, baby shower, seeing my husband become a father.

How is everyone feeling? Anyone starting to register yet? When is the right time to do that?

@youboots: I'm doing cloth diapering, too! I'm doing the bum genius 4.0 and have an amazon registry already. I'll probably also register at Buy Buy Baby and just double up - asking for the same diapers there.. then if i get too many of one color or something i can swap them out in store and buy the ones i want on amazon.

when do you think you'll have your shower? I'm due March 3rd (so very early march) and i'm super impatient. I don't want to have to wait all the way until January but i guess that's the "normal" time.... ugh!

Feeling rotten over here. Still dealing with a lot of painful stomach cramps. It's less in my back and more in front now. Finally got some food down but my urine is orange so I'm still drinking liquids like a manic till I see it go click. Stomach ages and vomiting while taking care of a toddler is hard work. My husband god love him has only been minimally helpful. He bought me groceries but then he wen to bed early last night while I roughed it out with a toddler on my own. I ended up vomiting again from changing a blowout diaper. Trying not to worry about little girl! I found her heartbeat very easily so that was good.

@Anya: yay! So exciting!

I officially have pregnancy brain.. I was looking at the Feb 15 due date thread and wondering why they had so many more and than us. Did they all get really early blood results? No dummy, February is BEFORE march. They are all hitting 20+ weeks by now!

@youboots: that will be so special for you guys!

@youboots: I'm still sick at 14 weeks!! We went to a haunted house this weekend and it smelled so horrible I almost lost it in there. DH was ready to tell the monsters we have to leave because I could not stop dry heaving. They probably thought I was nutso!

My bump feels huge! I have my next appt on thursdaym

Hi all!
Just joined and thought I would get in on the fun!

1.How far along today? 16w5d
2. EDD? March 12
3. Will you/did you find out the sex or are you team green? We find out on the 14th of October!
4. Are you in maternity clothes yet? Yes, but just because they are comfortable
5. First trimester symptoms? Have they changed? Felt really bad, gagging, nauseous and yuck. But feeling ok now.
6. What has been the best thing about your pregnancy so far? Being pregnant- even sick is great!
7. What are you looking forward to? Seeing my 2 year old hold his new sibling.

@Mrs.o: welcome we have the same due date!

@MrsMccarthy: I would love to be added! I think it's a girl. We had a scan at about 12 weeks and the ultra sound person said baby was looking like a girl, but not 100%. I also have been feeling different then with my boy. And hopeful that this pregnancy goes better then the last- 34 w premature and preeclampsia .
