Happy (early) Halloween everyone! Next year we'll have cute little babies to dress up!!
-
Hi fellow April mommies! This is my first post at 17 weeks! First time mom, and in the lovely "advanced maternal age" category. Anyone else having some major hip pain? Hubs and I went for an extra long walk today and now I can't find a sitting position that's comfortable and forget bending over! Anyone find a sleeping position that helps/is comfortable?
-
@Nibygd: welcome! When are you due? Do you know what you're having or going to be surprised? Please share and I'll add you to the list!
-
How much weight as everyone gained?
I've gained 7 lbs since losing two after the pregnancy was confirmed. I don't know if that's too much already. One thing for sure is that I have to make walking more a priority!
-
@Nibygd: welcome and congrats! I'm also having really bad left hip pain. My job is pretty physical and I'm sure that's part of it, but some days it's so bad by the evening that I can barely walk. Definitely going to be talking to my OB about it. The only comfortae position I've found to sleep in is on my side with a body pillow between my knees/legs.
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: umm, I've gained at least 10. Maybe 12-13? I've brought back prenatal yoga into my life 3-4 times a week though, so hopefully my weight gain will slow down! -
@Nibygd: welcome! I am having a hard time getting comfortable sleeping as well. I find holding onto a pillow (so I am half lying on it if that makes sense) helps me be more comfortable.
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: um I have no idea. I am eating horrendously and often so I am petrified to step on the scale. I can already tell the difference though bc I am gaining all over, versus with my son when I only gained in my stomach (and ate a lot healthier).
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I'm due April 10. Our LO will be a surprise, we can't wait!
As for weight, I'm right at about 7 lbs too, but I've been fluctuating a lb here and there.
Starting to feel little "bubbles" I think might be baby, anyone else?
-
@Nibygd: welcome! I'm not having hip pain but lower back/pain in my tailbone. So no advice but commiseration!
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I don't know how much I'm up. My scale at home only works sometimes so ??? Between my first and second appointment I only gained 1 pound but it's been a few weeks since then now!
-
@Nibygd: Welcome! I'm AMA as well. This is my 3rd baby.
I already have a 3 year old boy, 11 month old girl and I'm expecting a boy. This is our final baby.
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: No idea, but I hadn't gained much at my last appointment. Now that my morning sickness is gone I'm going to try and eat better and get back to going to the gym every day.
-
@bloved: yeah, the pillow hug helps. The worst is flipping over, ouch! All things considered, everything else has been going well so far, so can't complain too much. Hope yours is too!

Hi Mamas! Long time no chat! I've been through a whirlwind at work and just starting to come down from the crazy.
Exciting news - we are having a BOY! So very excited. We also made our news public on the interwebs on Saturday with this pic on FB and Insta!
I keep waiting to feel something from the babe, sometimes I think I do but then rationalize that I'm imagining it.
Welcome @Nibygd - my fellow 4/10 mama!
-
@GwenMarieDC: Cute announcement pic! And congrats on your boy, how exciting!
-
@GwenMarieDC: Nice announcement and way to go preserving the testosterone around here! Congrats!
-
@Mrs. Lemon-Lime ..I think I've gained about 3 pounds so far. With my 1st I only gained 10 my whole pregnancy but I started off a bit over weight so I do my absolute best to keep the weight gain at a minimum.
-
@GwenMarieDC: congrats! Your announcement is so cute! And too funny that we have one more boy on our list!
-
@GwenMarieDC: Congratulations and super cute announcement!!! Will be interesting to see when we actually deliver having the same due date.
I keep feeling little things that feel kind of like a muscle twitch right in the lower middle of my belly when I'm sitting still. Have felt every day now for about a week, so starting to think it's baby, but I could be crazy
-
Anyone else feel like this pregnancy has put them in a bad mood/taken away their patience? I'm a manager and I hate to say it, but I'm on the verge of snapping at every single one of my employees. Silly questions irk me to no end and I'm just so tired (physically and emotionally). I've started meditating, but am having a really hard time pulling myself out of this funk.
-
@poppygirl15: not more than usual. I'm always grumpy
I was annoyed that I had three back to back calls from customers before I could even set foot in my first office today. But, if I had missed those calls I would have had three VM to listen and respond to. Always an upside!
-
@poppygirl15: completely depends on the day for me. Some days I feel this way, some days I'm fine. I notice that my moods are more, I don't know, heightened than they were pre pregnancy. Some days I'm ridiculously happy for no reason whatsoever. I've only really had one sad day so far, so I am pretty thankful for that
-
@poppygirl15: yes! Me! I was just talking to my girlfriend last night about how this baby is stealing all my patience. I can't wait for these hormones to pass so everything can stop annoying me; I hate it!
-
Got the results of my genetic testing today! Boy for this mama! That makes boy #3 for me!
I haven't commented much recently but have been following along. Hope everyone is feeling better as we move out of the 1st trimester. I know I'm starting to get some energy back!
-
@Canoli: congrats!!!

-
@Canoli: congrats on boy #3!
-
@mrs. Lemon-lime: @Jennylayneaz: @bloved: thanks for your replies! Makes me feel better to know I'm not alone!
I didn't work from home at all last night and treated myself to ice cream and law & order instead. Feeling a bit more ready to take on the world today! Hope you ladies have good days, too!
-
@GwenMarieDC & @Canoli: congrats on your boys!!! Painting this board blue big time!!!!
@poppygirl15: I've been much more short tempered as well. I understand completely and if im feeling frustrated and daddy's home then I'll ask him to take over.

Ugh my progesterone shots arrived.. My reality for the rest of pregnancy
-
Joining up! I'm due with my second girl on April 24. I'll help the pink ranks on the page
Second pregnancy, so I'm already gigantic...or so it feels.
-
@BandDmommy: ugh sorry. I did the progesterone shots for the first 8 weeks of this pregnancy and I know they can be a pain (literally and figuratively).
@BlueWolverine: welcome! We are due date twins! Congrats on your little girl.
-
@BlueWolverine: congrats!
-
@BlueWolverine: congrats and welcome!
-
@jh524: the short temper is so hard! Good your husband can help out some. Mine's been stepping in more at bedtime, too. Sometimes doing the dishes just sounds easier to me than getting a three year old into pjs.
-
@BandDmommy: Oy! That doesn't look like fun! Good luck. At least you know it'll be worth it in the end.
@bluewolverine: this is my second and my bump is huge, too! Or, it's loud & proud as I've been telling anyone who comments. -
@BandDmommy: I'm sorry hon. This doesn't look like fun, but whatever you need to do for baby!
I've been lurking but not posting much. I received a call from my actual Doctor on a day she wasn't in the office today. But the message said to call her nurse for my test results. So after about 5 or 10 minutes of sitting on hold I finally got her. My AFP test results were elevated. They were 2. Something. I'm going in next week to retake the test and see where my results are then. But I've been checking in on baby and his or her heart is beating away and I think I'm starting to feel flutters. I'm just trying to be greatful for all that I have right now despit all the bad blood tests. In five or six short months I'll probably be sitting here with a happy, healthy baby. And if there is a problem, we will deal with it appropriately. But I'm seriously not looking forward to anymore testing.
April Mamas 
I already have a 3 year old boy, 11 month old girl and I'm expecting a boy. This is our final baby.
