Mrs. Sarah - Trying!

Morning Mommies!

genifire6 · 11-05-2003, 06:49 AM

Hello All Ladies

I am feeling much better this morning, don`t know why but i have more energy today... I still have to stop smoking.... Ugh

I smoke a last cig yesterday at 2 pm and had a new pack this morning.... It is so hard for me as i love my bad habit!! My friend told me that she read somewhere that when a pregant woman take the first puff of her cig., the baby stops breading for 10 seconds.... Poor thing. Stuck with a miommy with no will power..... Oh well, i try to take it a day at a time, if i ever stop, i wont ever touch one after. This is how i started again after i was pregnant with Anthony.... But i know i can. At least i reduced my intake and eat much better than 2 weeks ago. Anyone else out there had to stop smoking, or did stop??

Sylv: any baby in your arms yet?

Mrs Sarah: Is TOM away.... you have some work to get done!! lol I wish you luck this month and send you tons of hugs!!

Gen

Jefinner · 11-05-2003, 08:30 AM

Posting really quickly...

Here's a pic... I promise that I don't have black holes for eyes... LMAO!!! Bad lighting.

Mrs Sarah · 11-05-2003, 08:40 AM

Gen- TOM is gone as of today!! Woohoo!! Can't wait to get busy! *L*

Sarajewel · 11-05-2003, 08:50 AM

Gen - Thank God I never picked up smoking as a habit. I know quitting is so hard.

Jenn - Nice picture!

Sarah -

Happy trying!

My MS is continuing to get better. I even managed to stay awake till 11pm last night. I was shocked. I still have to pee hourly... Have any of you had round ligament pain. I have mild pain in one spot and I'm wondering if that is what it is. I also read this morning that if they see a beating heart on ultrasound betwenn 7 an 11 weeks there is a 97% chance the child will go to term. I am so relieved!

Be well all!

Sinnrah · 11-05-2003, 09:15 AM

Jen-you look so cute w/ your little belly. I want mine to pooch out. Mine is a slow process.

Sarah-glad TOM is gone..now just go get busy girlfriend.

Gen-glad you feel better.

Well I got some much needed rest. I feel very rejuvenated. Jim is working all night and wont be home until tomorrow afternoon.

but other than that my appetite has been increasing. I have to eat morning,noon and night. I walked out of the grocery store w/ a small bag of chips. I was starving.

Funny how your body goes through all these changes w/ pregnancy.

Sylv · 11-05-2003, 11:22 AM

Hi gals!

Still playing the waiting game here.

Welcome Christie!

Gen, I know how hard it is to quit, I've been there, twice! (Not during my pregnancy though) As simplistic as it may sound, one of the things that helped me most through cravings was to inhale deeply while "puckering", as if I was taking that first haul of my smoke. I got that instant gratification and relaxation that I would from a cigarette. You can even try to do it with a plastic straw, but I didn't find it was necessary. I also found I was able to eliminate a lot of cigarettes I would have just out of reflex, not intense physical need. Instead of reaching for a smoke, reach up (stretch), and give yourself a mini relaxation break. I hope this helps!

Jenn, cute little belly!!!

Sinnrah, glad to hear you're getting your appetite back!

Sara, I had round ligament pain. I remember taking walks and having to stop and bend over because it would get so sore. There's some major stretching going on in there!

Hi to everyone else!

Sylvie

lowcarbinmama · 11-05-2003, 11:51 AM

Hello Ladies!! It's a rainy, grey day here. BahHumbug.

SYLV: Glad you checked in, I'm thinking about you. Not much longer till you meet your sweet, sweet baby! Lucky you!

JENN: Adorable belly!

You look great!

SARAH:

I'm sending loads of baby making vibes your way this month.

lowcarbinmama · 11-05-2003, 11:52 AM

That spermy needs to put on a happy face, we've got a baby to make darnit!

Mrs Sarah · 11-05-2003, 12:04 PM

STACY: You crack me up!! LOL!!!

lowcarbinmama · 11-05-2003, 12:39 PM

I was hoping that would make you smile SARAH!!!

Wheres Lauren today? She usually checks in daily. And Laura?

misbadu · 11-05-2003, 01:44 PM

Hello everyone! Sorry I have been MIA for a few days. I caught a nasty cold and have been sleeping non-stop for the past few days.

Welcome Christy!!! I can relate to your feelings. I was really concerned about gaining the weight back when I found out I was prego. Actually I have gained a lot, and still with 2 months to go I am headed for a good 50lb gain during this pregnancy. Not what I hoped for, but I am just doing my best and not letting it get to me.
Funny I am now wearing most of the clothes I did not give away. they fit me again, and when I wear them its funny I do not even look very pregnant, maybe a little, but at first glance I just look large. Oh well it saves me money to not have to buy maternity clothes! I did give away a TON of my clothes, but I have no regrets. What goes around comes around. Ya know!

I am planning on going right for induction after I have the baby, hopefully that will help me get back down to a reasonable weight by next summer! As far as the AFP test I too heard lots of controversery. Some of my friends opt to not even take the test because of all the false positives it can give you. Try not to worry. Any problems will most likely be ruled out at the ultrasound! Keep us updated!

Gen - I know its hard to quit...but try and be strong! We are here for you!

Jefinner - you look great! Such a skinny mini.

Sinnrah - I am glad your doc apt went well and that you are feeling good today. Hopefully you are starting to clear the 1st trimester fog!

Sylv - Hopefully you will go any day now. I am sure the wait is driving you crazy!

Everyone else....hope you are having a great week! I have to admit after eating really low-carb all weekend and doing what I consider to be really well I ate a HUGE piece of Apple pie yesterday. Not good! I am trying really hard to watch it these last 2 months, I don't want to gain any more weight. Its really hard because those cravings get the best of me. So I am just trying to balance it out. Some days I break and eat a 1/2 a quart of chocolate ice cream. Other days I do awesome and eat just veggies and meats with a piece of fruit for a snack.

Anyhoooo...Happy Wednesday to everyone.

kitimat2000 · 11-05-2003, 01:50 PM

Hello all I'm new to this forum. Mstigerlily pointed you out to me so I though I'd become a groupy and hang out. I'm 26 weeks due feb.12 but having a planned c - section a week before. I find out my date in Dec. I though I'd jump on board since my weight gain is getting a little out of hand. Have a great day all!
cheers

11-05-2003, 01:53 PM

Good Wednesday all!

Christy - Hello to you and Welcome!

Gen - My best friend quit smoking cold turkey when she got pregnant and then the day she left the hospital it was back to smoking for her. She said that nicorette gum was her best friend.

Jefinner- what a cute picture. As tony the tiger would say. You look T-E-R-R-I-F-I-C.

Sylv- Trying is the best part!!!

It is cloudy here too. What a yucky rainy day!

I hope everyone is doing great!

TRACY2 · 11-05-2003, 03:31 PM

Hi everyone-

I’ve been reading all day and thought I’d pop in a say hi.
Jefinner- cute pic- your so little! I have already gone up one whole size! Your eyes do look black! Did you not show much with your other pregnancies?
Sarah- back on the baby making trail! Here’s sending baby dust your way- hope this is the month!!
Sarajewel- I have also had some ligament pain and a little bulge on the left side of my belly when I lay flat. Weird- but I am sure yours is nothing to worry about. Everything is moving around and stretching to make room for the traumatic changes that are about to happen.
Sinnrah- you aren’t showing yet at 4 months? I bet you wake up one day soon and look as if you’ve swallowed a basketball! Are you feeling any movement yet?
Slyv- anything yet? Has your doctor mentioned inducing by a certain date?
Stacey- love the smileys! Saw them before and never could find a good place to use them! You hit the target!
Christy- welcome- we need to add you to the list.

Anyone have any suggestions for pregnancy induced acne? My skin is horribly oily all of a sudden and my dermatologist put me on erthyamicin (SP?) it’s a topical antibiotic to kill germs and dry oil and it’s drying just like it should for most of the day and then the oil is back. My face has been broken out for over a month now. Ugggh. I am at wits end. I was on Benzaclin and Differin Cream, but those can cause birth defects in the baby. I used them up until I was 6 weeks PG. Didn't know I was.

Lauren?

Have a good night everyone.

Sinnrah · 11-05-2003, 04:13 PM

Tracy-no I am not showing like most women are. But it is my first pregnancy. So maybe that is why. Dont get me wrong..my belly is bigger but I dont look pregnant yet.

Man does having an appetite make me sleepy. LOL It really sucks cause I dont have a lot of food in the house right now. Oh well...when hubby gets home we will go grocery shopping.

Here is a picture of my 4 month belly

I am weighing only 117 today..but now it is 119 after i ate all three meals.

Anyhoo...take care...

TRACY2 · 11-06-2003, 07:20 AM

OK, my belly looked like that at 4 weeks!

http://mediaservice.photoisland.com/...0346986815.jpg

I didn't show with my last (first pg) until almost 7 months. Nice tight tummy muscles

This time- 15 minutes after the HPT was positive my stomach poked out. Something about all those muscles being stretched before and they can't hold as well.

Wow- 4 months! You should be feeling movement any day. It feels alot like a gas bubble rolling around. You can feel it the best after drinking something with a little caffeine and lying flat on your back with your arms stretched over your head.
Your next pg, you WILL show a lot faster. I am already bigger now than in this pic.
