I think I will leave pg moms up until 44 weeks and then take them off if there has been no word from anyone. I know a bunch of the ladies are not on here anymore. If I take you off but you come back... just let me know and I will add you right back up there! It's nice to know that people had their babies!

Sorry I am late getting the new week up!

I just wanted to take a minute and ask for everyone to send out a kind thought or prayer to the mommies who have lost their babies on here over the last couple of months. There have been several and it was not posted when it happened. If you could just wish them well and send out a cyber hug I think that would be great!

And to any of those moms... many of us have gone through loss also (including myself). You are still welcome here!!!!

lil miss · 10-17-2005, 11:54 AM

{HUGS} to those moms who have suffered a loss...

kasia15 · 10-17-2005, 08:46 PM

Absolutely, my thoughts are with you to those who have had such a sad loss

Are you ok Luna, you have been having such a rough trot??

As for me I am well, no more spotting, I am not so tired...but I am thirsty!! and still sore boobies, I think it is a cruel thing that your body makes you thirsty at night and then cannot hold the need to pee very long so you are up all night.

My bbs still are a little tender but otherwise i am great

This ofcourse scares me as I think I don't have enough symptoms....sheesh we always have to worry about something!!

lil miss · 10-18-2005, 06:54 AM

I am with you Kasia! I get horrible congestion when preg, every time, and so I dont like to be drinking lots of water, cause I cant breathe well but I am SO thirsty so I that is helping!

Glad to hear the spotting stopped. I seem to spot once a week or so this time around and it always alarms me.

My boobs feel better, but they are heavy so I feel like that tells me everything is ok.

I dont know if I told you guys but I am majorly stressed out. DH and I have decidded to relocate and will be moving away fromt he place where we both grew up and both of our families! He got a nice job offer and we felt, after MUCH soul searching, that we couldnt pass it up, anyway, things have gotten CRAZY here REALLY fast and so I feel like I am not even able to slow down and enjoy the preg! Right now I am consumed with decluttering and boxing up things to make house immaculate for open house in a week or two, not an easy task with 2 little guys underfoot! Wish me luck adn please knwo I am still here even if I am not around much the next coupla weeks, I really love this board....

LunaAshling · 10-18-2005, 10:25 AM

Hey guys. I am doing better after the weekend.

lil miss I just realized I have left you up on the TTC list all this time!

And I have HORRIBLE congestion this time too! The buckets of snot I have swallowed!

When I was 8 months pregnant we moved 1300 miles away (I drove while contracting!) on 9/11. We left hours before they closed the bridges down and spent 3 days driving wondering if we would drive into somewhere that we would get hit. And we packed in only a few days. Not cleaned, but packed. I hope to NEVER repeat that experiance!

My breast pain went away after about 3 weeks and I had never had that at all with my other pregnancies! So not have sore boobs is not a bad sign!

Kasia I am glad to hear the spotting is getting better!

Right now I am having a really hard time eating enough, let alone keeping it down. I keep trying to trick myself. Right now my best "trick" is to cram what I can right before bed and then immediately go to bed and attempt to sleep. If I can get into semi sleep I can keep it down for the night usually.

I soooooooooooooooo hope the

goes away......... I REALLY don't want this to last my whole pg!

kbeth · 10-19-2005, 04:59 AM

Thank you for your honesty regarding my questions about testing. I may pm you (if I can figure out how!

)

Luna--oh my dear. The severe nausea sounds brutal. I have no advice to send--just {{HUGS}}

Luna and lilmiss--I do have a suggestion for those having issues with congestion. Wow--has this worked for me!! A couple of years ago I bought a Neti pot to help with seasonal allergies. Never liked allergy medicines, so I was glad to find something homeopathic. It's a piece of pottery designed rinse your sinuses. You fill it with warm salt water, tilt your head, put the spout up to one nostril and it runs out the other. Kinda awkward feeling the first time...but it really does the job. Well, since becoming pg, I've had trouble breathing at night and therefore I wasn't sleeping well. I used the Neti Pot....and the warm salt water soothed and (I guess) shrunk the swollen membranes and it has made a WORLD of difference!!! It's inexpensive..if you're interested do a google search.

LunaAshling · 10-19-2005, 09:35 AM

kbeth.... I have tried many of those "appliances" over the years... I might try it again but will have to wait until I am not so gaggy... right now brushing my teeth is hard!!!!

How are all the other moms doing this week??????

kbeth · 10-19-2005, 10:26 AM

Ooooh yeah, I didn't think about the gag-factor.

Shea · 10-20-2005, 09:47 AM

Ok....I am just a lurker and not pregnant but wanted to say to Jai that we need an update from her doctor's appointment last Thursday......maybe she WAS in the early stages of labor.

LunaAshling · 10-20-2005, 10:31 AM

Hey Sharon thanks for catching that one.... I let it slip! Would you like to be added to the list?

Ok Jai..... how is it going hun????????

LuckyKitty · 10-21-2005, 07:42 AM

Sorry to sneak in on your thread again, but I was hoping you all could answer another question for me...

My doc just put me on Prenate Elite. Have any of you taken it? Any issues, suggestions. Don't know if I should take it with a meal, morning, night, etc.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

TIA
Kat

LunaAshling · 10-22-2005, 08:49 AM

I have not heard of that one.... hopefully one of the other ladies has some experiance!

Jai · 10-22-2005, 01:46 PM

Pretty good. This little one doesn't seem to want to come out early... somedays I wish she would! LOL! Wednesday night through Thursday I had pretty strong but irregular contractions. Dr had said on Tuesday my cervix was still closed and all, will see this Tuesday if I've made any progress, will be surprised (and frustrated) if I haven't. Didn't have contractions yesterday but have had a few again today. Unless she plans on coming tonight I will carry her longer than Derrick. I was due w/ him on July 3rd and had him June 2nd. So tonight would be the night... not going to happen if you ask me.

Still having flu-like symptoms off and on but the Dr said that's normal for where I am. *sigh* I'm getting impatient and just want to hold my baby.

Hope all is going well w/ everyone. I am off to a wedding this evening so don't have much time to read/post right now. Will try to check in again tommorrow.

Portia · 10-22-2005, 03:11 PM

kbeth - feel free to PM.

Portia

LunaAshling · 10-23-2005, 08:23 AM

Jai the end always sucks. You feel like crap and just want it to be over as soon as possible!

Ok ladies. I officially can NOT see my feet when I stand up straight anymore!

OMG I am going to split in half this pg!!!!!!

jeepifer · 10-23-2005, 07:12 PM

An update for the list:

Tammeli gave birth to Nicole Sophia
Born 10/11/05

I really like this vitamin. My midwife gave me a week sample and they were so easy to swallow and no problems. I am not taking them now because we do not have insurance and well the cost would be a bit much. I always take my prenatals in the evening just in case they are going to make me nausea. Less of a chance if you are sleeping. And, you dont have to take them with anything.

LuckyKitty · 10-24-2005, 01:20 PM

Thanks for the reply! I'm glad to hear from someone who's at least tried 'em. For some reason I'm always skeptical of Rx's (skeert of the un-known consequences, I guess). Good to know I don't have to take em any certain time/way, too. The website was useless!

Thanks again

tammeli · 10-24-2005, 08:36 PM

Hi everyone! Just dropping by to say hello. It's so weird being a mom!!! Sooooo completely different than being a non-mom! It's so amazing getting to know my baby and looking at this little, tiny person that my husband and I created.

Hope everyone is doing well!
