Sept/Oct 2014

Hi everyone!,
hope everyone is doing well.Welcome to all the newcomers.
The twins are doing okay, they seem to be taking it easy on me- my m/s has practically all but disappeared, I'm hoping that's normal since I'm going on 11 weeks. Anyone experience the same thing? Its weird though because m/s is all you rely on to remind you that you're pregnant in these early days and for it to subside is a bit scary. That feeling of fullness is also waining- not sure if its because I'm getting used to it, my bump is definitely still growing though.
I dont know about you but I am running out of things to wear fast! I bought a pair of maternity tights the other day and they are the bees knees- so comfy- it beats wrestling yourself into jeans every morning.
Hope you're all eating well and that you're happy above all else!

Morning Ladies,

Welcome to the newbies. Great to have more ladies chatting.

Mum2be - congrats on the twins. Awesome,

Gain-a-baby - I have not forgotten about posting the scan, I still cannot work that scanner of mine.

I feel huge already. My next appointment is next Monday the 31st of March.
Due date is 30 September.

chat soon, take care ladies.

Hi Ladies

Thanks for all the well wishes. Its good to hear the stretchy feeling is normal. I also panic when i get cramps, but i read this is also completely normal. Right now i'm just trying to focus on carrying on with my life. I feel like lately I breath, eat and sleep pregnancy and Im pretty sure my husband is being driven mad by it. LOL!!

Hello guys

I have been missing in action a bit, but had nothing to really say.
How are you all doing? Welcome sugar and spice and congrates!

I saw baby again, he/she is doing so well, growing fast. Baby is very shy and crossed the legs the whole time, urgh!! I am now 14 weeks 3 days. EDD is 17 September and for now the gender is to be determined. Next appointment will be the 25th of April.

Good luck for the weeks or days leading to your next appointment. I know I am living from appointment to appointment

jinxedsa Thank you for your advice - I will definitely try a natural alternative to over the counter options for constipation. Knowing that 2/3 days is ok makes it easier and leaves me less paranoid. Speaking of.....I just need to take deep breathes to get through the nervousness, I'll be ok. Whatever happens is in God's plan.

Welcome sugar-and-spice!

Mum2Be How are the twins??

TashD our EDD are a day apart, how are you feeling?

Time is coming fast. You are still gonna have a lot of paranoid/nervous and what if moments. You just have to try and not let it affect you too much. I know easier said than done. I still get a lot of those moments myself, they are a lot less that before though. The excitement is gradually starting to take over.
I stuggled with constipation with my first 2 pregnancies very badly, this time around I'm trying to make sure I don't, I started out with eating muesli and yogurt and now I drink alot of water and milk and I have not stuggled with that this time around. It is however normal to not go everyday now since you're pregnant. The food stays in your system for longer so that you get more nutrients from it, so that is very normal.
I am so excited for you.

Welcome

Congrats on your positive test. Very exciting news.
Not a problem for you to join us from my side.
The stretching sensation is normal just a sign that things are progressing and growing. I get that often and with that a feeling of being full all the time.

Hi Ladies
