What's Happening Now
27w 2d (My last week here!)
weight gain: 16lbs at last appointment, haven't weighed since
Symptoms/Conditions: I'm happy to report that part of my hip pain has been resolved for the most part with my PT, the tight muscles in the joint seem to be relaxed. I was having bad pelvic pain again, especially in the pubic bone area when I would lay down though. Last night it dawned on my that I had some lower back pain with DS when I would sleep and resolved it by wedging a pillow under my belly bump as I slept. I tried it last night and sure enough the pelvic pain was not as bad
!Other: We had a great weekend and wonderful Mother's Day. We went to Zion National Park and it was packed, but a friend told me about an unmarked trail so we did that and only encounter two other people, so it was perfect. The trail followed a little stream and we saw tadpoles and waded in the water. Then we went and had an awesome lunch, I feel so loved!
Next appointment: May 16View Thread

When the baby moves into certain positions I get very uncomfortable and it eventually becomes dizziness and possibly passing out if I don't find a comfortable position for us. With the last pregnancy the Dr told me when I'm feeling that was drink a glass of water and lay on my side. It really does help and the dizzy spell is over within minutes.
I actually passed out in the dr. office one time and they couldnt pinpoint exactly what it was other than where the baby was positioned in there. My blood pressure dropped indicating that maybe the baby was cutting off blood flow some how, but my sugar and fluid levels were all fine.
It may not be preventable but getting down so you can't fall and hurt yourself or the baby is best!
Hopefully this helps because I understand how miserable to dizzy spells are!View Thread
I would say if they are really bad you might want to talk to your OB. Well good luck and I hope you get to feeling better.View Thread
13w 0d
Symptoms/ Conditions: The morning sickness is finally getting better but I am now getting headaches. They are not all the time but they are pretty bad when they come.
Other: Had our first u/s last week and everything is going great. The little heartbeat was at 176 which Doc. says was perfect for where I'm at in my pregnancy

It was seriously the best thing I could have done for myself and my baby during both pregnancies. And now I go at least 2x a week - it's great for stress now that I have a 3 and 7 year old!View Thread
13 wks 3 days
This is my second baby
Started showing really early, little bump around 8 wks, sporting a serious belly now at 13 wks.
I thought I might have felt some little flutter last night while I was lying on the couch but nothing for sure.View Thread

BV doesn't seem to be a concern for him anymore since the meds made me feel better. I am a bit confused thinking about it though because he said all of my cultures came back negative... so did I not have BV? Either way it was something that feels better!
My blood pressure was a little high today. Normally I am 120 over something and today I was 130/71.
Total weight gain is 10 lbs so far.
I will be seeing the doctor every 2 weeks to ensure these braxton hicks contractions aren't doing anything to my cervix and to watch my blood pressure. I always feel like it's something!!!View Thread
... We have actually def decided on Zakiyah and he will go by Zak since Izayah goes by Zay... it works out nicely! I had actually never heard the name Zakiyah so its never been associated with a boy or girl for me! I think it will fit my LO nicely... the middle name is still the troubling part, but I'm leaning more to Logan... may not have it down until LO is here or it could change completely when I see his little face!
