Just an update;

[irrelevance]

Update for anyone who cares. [=
Had another appt. today.. Got blood drawn, will know the results in a week.. if it's all good, won't hear anything at all... frustrating, wish he would call and say "everything is fine".. anyways. I had an alphafetoprotein screening test done.. Heard the baby's heartbeat.. but i don't know what it is.. 165-170 it was jumping back and fourth and to 166 when he showed me.. I guess i've gained about five pounds..i'm 15weeks, 3 days.. and it seems to me that suddenly now i'm showing... it's weird like i feel like i woke up with a  bigger belly today [gas, indegestion? who knows..] don't know if uti is gone.. testing for that also. Seems like things are getting slightly harder, like climbing stairs.. nose always stuffy, running out of breathe, feet hurting when i'm on them for too long, and always SO tired, still.. but i think i'm just not getting enough sleep.. and heartburn.. but i've gotten used to that much by now. i'm really liking the idea though, of just being pregnant, especially now that i'm showing some.. i enjoy my pregnancy for the most part, it's just hard sometimes with all those small annoyances. lol
How is everyone else doing...? i want to know what everyone else is experiencing right now with their pregnancies, or ttc.. anything.. Talk to me.. [oh, another, also feeling lonely sometimes.. ):  ]

:D  it's so neat, it happened overnight, almost literally.. it's crazy.  last night i was feeling on my belly and, i felt this hard little mass in the upper right part of my uterus and i believe that was the baby? so i stopped poking at it and kind of just rubbed it real lightly, it didn't move though. Think it was the baby or what? maybe it just kept sleeping? when i woke up, it wasn't there anymore. so i'm thinking yes... hmmm

[krissyy]

thanks for the tips :-)  and i would love to see the pics!!!  i am excited to have a pregnant belly.  i think it's so beautiful!  so you are due mayish??  that is perfect timing for you to take the summer off of school (maternity leave) to be with your baby!  congrats :-)

[irrelevance]

And actually, i have a very small group of friends that i stick with. my boyfriend.. and then two other girls, one of the girls' boyfriend and this other girl who i haven't seen in a while, i'm very worried about her.  My lunch table at school, is me, and these three girls, and the bf [not mine we dont eat together]  This one girl, has a child already, she gave birth at 16 and is now almost 18.. she had to give her son up due to being so young, but she gave him to her brother, which i guess is kind of neat.. but confusing for the kid.. the other girl is i think 5 and a half months pregnant. last we heard from her was about a week ago or so, she said she was having contractions and had to be seen about them [ :-s i dont know if you read my other post, about a friend who had a premature baby at 5.5 months also...] and it scares me, because she hasn't been back to school.. i fear the worst yet hope the best, i can't be good if she hasn't been back. but she's new to our school, none of us got her phone number or address or anything so it's a mystery.. the other girl actually thinks she might  be pregnant and is late for her period now in the waiting time right now. and of course, there's me, 15 weeks preg. now... and what's funny is we all became friends before finding any of this out about eachother, it just happened. but they are pretty much my only friends other than my boyfriend, now!
[sorry again, about writing so much! :-S  ]

[irrelevance]

Ah! It's good that someone knows what I mean. It's like, for me it's hard to fit in anywhere now. I can't really go party or anything [although i wasn't really the type to be into that much to begin with] so I don't hang out with kids at my school. And I have a feeling once I get bigger people are going to look at me different. There are like 3 or 4 other teenage girls at my school that are pregnant, actually! and I feel for them. Some people think you're a **** or that you're ruining your life.. Judgment from all around.  And it's not like women around me who are older are going to be accepting of me and my choice.. That's what I love about this forum, those things don't matter as much, people aren't as quick to judge, even though sometimes they still do. [plus i get answers to questions, and i get the oppertunity to help someone. i love it. it reminds me of why i want to go in the career path i chose, because i plan to be a nurse]
I know in my mind I have so many things to teach my child. I know that I can take care of him/her.. And I know more than anything that I will love them more than anything in this world. I'm excited and more ready than just about anyone knows. Difficult? It may be, but I can manage.  Thanks for your encouragement. It's nice to talk to someone. (:

I was/am a young mom, too. I was 19 when I was first pregnant and everyone thought THAT was young. I look younger than I am. Most people think I'm the babysitter or big sister. (I'm almost 23 now). Anyway, I'm very mature for my age, too, so I completely understand what you're saying!!! And you go girl! I'm so glad you believe in yourself. Don't let anyone talk you down. I BELIEVE you'll be a great mom!!! And I know that because I am a great mom to my girls. Sometimes I get down and think people don't understand or don't know how well I take care of them.

One lady at church used to say to me, in this worried tone, "You take care of her, okay?!" Like I wasn't?! It drove me crazy. I'd just smile and nod. That's all you can do. Grit your teeth, smile and nod!

[irrelevance]

Hehe, aww.. [:  Thank you, I know that i'm young, but i like to think I'm more mature than everyone thinks.. I've always been mature for my age, although I know, I'm still just 16, but yeah.. I've got my mom's support, and of all of my family pretty much, and talking to girls on here, yeah. I also believe I'll be a good mom. Not everyone wants to believe me, but I believe in myself. So I'll be adding about a pound to this every week!?!! it just seems so crazy right now. but i'm loving it nonetheless.

[njeosys]

Baby bellies do that!!! Congrats! You're young but you seem like you're going to be a great mom. It seems like you have a ton of support, too. Most girls your age don't!!! I'm really happy for you. My firstborn was born June 4th. I liked to call her "My June Bug" when I was pregnant since I didn't know what she was. That'd be a cute name for you to use until you find out!!!

[irrelevance]

Want to see links to a couple pics of my belly? I don't even believe i'm showing.. it's crazy. i thought it would be like.. another month. i don't know why.. but it practically happened overnight.

[irrelevance]

:) hahah. well good luck krissyy, and i'll suggest to you what i do to most, i don't see the point really in skipping days in between to try makin a baby. because the male reproductive organs don't just get less fertile because they've been used. that's not true. and perhaps i can account for that. and it helps to try as often as possible, even if your husband is on the shorter end of fertile with a low sperm count or something like that. so i always advise trying the day before, on and after you ovulate for best chances, and take a nap or lay down a few hours afterward. i hope you read this! i'm sure you know most of this stuff, but just trying to help your chances. and yes it's best not to stress out over it, i think that interferes with some women's ability to even concieve in the first place, the stress. so yes, let it be, and it will happen! Good luck!!!

fsantiago- don't worry you're not the only one who cries over christmas songs!!!  :)  i feel like a nut case sometimes!  i cry over everything...  but not like an upset cry, just an emotional cry.  i downloaded a bunch of christmas songs and put them on a cd for my parents that we use to listen to when i was little.  and every time i listen to them, i get emotional just b/c now i'm sharing them w/ my kids...  i love it!!!  but i still cry!!!  

but then in an instant my mood will change and i'm ready to bite someone's head off!!!  oh the joys (for everyone else to deal with) of being pregnant!!! lol  :)

[krissyy]

congrats on all of your pregnancies!  i cannot wait to be at your point!  i am very envious.  hubby and i are on our 3rd cycle ttc...just coming up on ovulation in a few days...  been more relaxed this cycle...  been busy with other stuff so i don't obsess over ttc as much as i did the first cycle.  i am trying to just remind myself that it will happen when it is best to happen...hopefully that is soon :-)  i wish you all healthy and happy pregnancies!

[irrelevance]

:) I know what you mean.. I can't wait to see him/her again.  see i hate saying that... 'him/her' my bf doesn't want to find out.. but i told him we simply MUST. atleast this time!!!  and i know what you mean about hoping the weight magically falls off. haha. i hope so too, although it's unlikely and i'll probably have to work my butt off [literally maybe]

i just felt motherly to a dog!!! Hah! my poor doggie is downstairs and my stepdad and brothers are putting christmas lights on the porch and left the big door open [storm door is closed so she's stuck inside] and she was so sad cause she can see them and she's alone.. she was even yelling a little bit. i had to go tell her it was alright and hold her for a minute. she was still making this little crying noise.. lol, she's cute though she always gets me. i'm a sucker. Hahah.

you know i forgot i have another complaint from pregnancy that bugs me so bad. I have a pimple rash on both my shoulders, some a little on my upper back but only a few.. and since i sweat, i get them between my boobs. :l  how unappealing. lol
sorry that i'm writing so much.. i'm in a talkative mood for some reason. plus i'm tired.. i talk a lot when i'm tired for some reason.

[Leanna26]

Just over 8 weeks. I want a little girl myself too! I'm so excited to find out! LOL I hear that, I really don't want to gain too much weight, just the healthy amount and I hope it all magically falls off afterwards. So far I have only gained 1 pound. I go for an ultrasound on the 19th, to make sure baby is alright and that there is not more than one in there. It will be my 3rd ultrasound yet. Thats ok, I told them they can give me as many as they want, just gives me a chance to see my little bean!

[irrelevance]

ohh, how far along are you now? And i know what you mean about being emotional, although it has gotten better, it was horrible at first.. lol
Yes I am going to try to find out. I am not totally sure. at first i really really wanted a girl.. but now i'm kind of on the fence, still leaning toward a girl. But i don't care too much now, at first i was absolutely set on it.  What about you?  My next appt. isn't until a month which seems like forever away! but i shouldn't complain, some don't get their FIRST ultrasound until 18 weeks. And i guess it's only four weeks. i get to enjoy getting bigger until then. the though of gaining a pound every week [in my pre-pregnancy state of mind] just seems rediculous at this point. but i know i will really like it, as long as not TOO much extra comes along with it. but stuff happens. Hah

[Leanna26]

Sounds like all is going well, good you got to hear the heartbeat! ^_^ Sounds like your symptoms are very normal. I feel the same, just crappy at all times lately. Especially when waking up in the morning. Been a bit erratic lately,emotionally that is.

On your next ultrasound are you going to try to find out the gender? What do you hope it to be?

[irrelevance]

Hahah, oh i remember all of that too, the sore boobs and the dizziness. I don't get dizzy anymore really, except if i get up reallly fast. Sometimes i'm blind for a little bit. Hahah. I don't have any more of an appetite than before, really. Yeah The emotional-ness has calmed down a lot for me but ahhh. sometimes i still get in a mood. but other times it's a mad mood D: !  but not often. I just started my last trimester, i guess last week. some sources say 14, some 15.. anyways, yeah.. It's so exciting.. (: i used to think 'what if it's twins' but then when i had my ultrasound i was like 'phew!' haha.. but bf joked and said 'it's probably just hiding behind the other one' because he knows that would kind of suck. he likes to tease me lol. it would suck in some ways, but it would also be so awesome at the same time. i'm not ready for twins. i'm barely ready for just one, i'm getting there.  I'm 16 years old and everyone [judgingly] says that i don't need a kid, i have so much stuff yet to do, i can't take care of a kid, i don't know what i'm in for etc. etc. but i don't care much about what they say. i do because i know in some aspects they are right.. but i'm more prepared than they know. it will be hard, but Wow, i'm still sooo excited. i just want to jump into june right now!! :P
but it's a good thing your boobs stopped hurting!! lol i remember when mine were like that ouch. it hurt to even be hugged. which incidentally, people wanted to do a lot when they found out. lol!

[guatmommy]

We are 1 day apart!!  I am 15 weeks 4 days due on 5/30.  I feel the same way- I woke up one day and I havet his belly thing going on.  My boobs--- OH LORD- my boobs- they have all the sudden gotten bigger than bigger that they had gotten before (make sense).  I am buldgeing out of my bra!!  I feel good otherwise- other than the occasional cramps... I do find that lately mylegs ache.  This is my forst preg (other than the m/c) I have had a somewhat difficult prg., I am high risk... so I try to be so careful (i had a m/c 7/07).  I worry about everything.  I see the Dr/high risk dr every week!  More ultasounds- I LOVE IT!!  I go on 12/18 (which happens to be my dads b-day- my dad is deceased and he is truly my hero)- to find out the sex.  I am going through this somewhat alone as the dad and I are no longer together.  We do talk and see each other- but just not the same.  My 3 year old has been my saving grace!!

[fsantiago]

He Girlie, I am experiencing all the same symptoms but I am only 6-7 weeks...I have an appt friday to find out for sure...i hate waiting...the boobs just finally stopped the constant hurting...I am always stuffy...hungry most of the time...and i was a little nausea today...but on sunday i was in one of those moods...You know that mood that you don't even now why you are in it but you are....I the emotional frenzy I am in is driving me nuts...I cry over christmas songs...Or watching Rudolph w/ kids...I have two kids and this is my fourth preg...I am showing so much already its crazy...I was joking w/ my husband last night say what if its twins...OMG! I can't even imagine that...No one in my family has twins but I think a cousin of his on his fathers side just had triplets...If I remember the second trimester( i was gonna type semester)is better...O yeah...the ditzyness has come already too...LOL
Good Luck girl

[irrelevance]

Thank you so much alicia. [=  i'm due on june first. I'm really sorry about your loss, but i'm sure you hear that a lot, right? It will happen for you soon i'm sure. =] hopefully your next pregnancy will go a little smoother. :P Good Luck!!

[alicia216]

Hi sweetie. I'm glad you're enjoying your pregnancy. I didn't enjoy my first but I enjoy her now. We are ttc and got lucky but had a m/c. Not giving up hope. Hopefully we will be blessed soon.  When are you due? Good luck and god bless
