Twins?

adventurebirth — Mon, 01 Oct 2018 03:39:23 +0000

For those with twins...did you have any symptoms that indicated there was more than one baby in there? I don't have an ultrasound for another week, but I'm SO. SO. SICK. Way more than with my other pregnancies. I've also had consistently high hcg levels, sometimes tripling over two days. Is this...twins? ❤️😍🤮

Pets and Pregnancy

missmcgonnagal — Wed, 12 Sep 2018 14:15:38 +0000

Good morning, Bumpers. I have a question as a FTM about pets and pregnancy.

I've heard that dogs can figure out that a woman is pregnant, and that their behavior often changes as a result. I have a very anxious, very needy Dutch Shepard, but in the last week I've noticed she's doing something unusual. She will always lie in bed with us at night, until she thinks we're asleep. Then she leaves to go sleep elsewhere, as my husband and I toss and turn at night and it keeps her awake (poor baby I know). Yet for the last week, she climbs into bed and presses herself up against me and does not move all night. I've woken up every morning for the last week and she's still pressed hard against me, almost snuggling me out of the bed.

**TMI WARNING: I have noticed the change in perfume from my lady bits, which apparently is normal, but I'm wondering if her dog-nose is picking up on that too.**

Does anyone have any experience with pets behaving oddly when they're pregnant?

I am a first time mama, and I sometimes use Bengay or Biofreeze to ease migraine pain. I recently read somewhere that these products may not be safe during pregnancy?

Does anyone else have any knowledge about using these products?? Thannks!

Opinions on the name Carmen Sophia for a baby girl??

asholay1234 — Wed, 10 Oct 2018 09:37:51 +0000

Well, I just found out im pregnant. I feel deep in my soul it's a girl, so I am already trying to think of baby girl names. I really like the name Carmen and Sophia, so wanted to know if others thought it sounded cute together. I am open to name suggestions too. This would be my first girl, assuming it is a girl already, so I just want to find the perfect name!

I am alone

knottie1828a6c36e42b793 — Mon, 08 Oct 2018 04:34:46 +0000

I have found myself pregnant by someone I hardly know. I am currently 6 weeks. I told him about it and he told me to get an abortion. I am totally against that and wish to continue my pregnancy. I already a child who is 5 and I couldn’t imagine life without her. I feel as though this child was sent to me for a reason. The dad has told me to stay away from him and he wants nothing to do with me. As for the baby he said we’ll go to court if I don’t get my own place because at the moment I live with my mother but I planned to move out before I found out I was pregnant. I feel so hurt but I know I can raise another child on my own. I don’t think I’m making the wrong choice. He also has 3 kids of his own from a previous relationship so I know that puts pressure on him but he should take responsibility for his actions just like I am.

I am at a lost ofwords right now and I feel so confused and just want someone to talk to.

Weight gain/loss during first trimester?

Melanntor — Mon, 08 Oct 2018 13:51:13 +0000

Hello - I am in Week 9/10 of my first pregnancy and I have lost 4 pounds since I found out. I am eating plenty and taking my vitamins and not doing too much exercise. I have been pretty nauseous, but when I throw up, only bile/liquid comes out. Should I be worried? Am I dehydrated? My doctor said that because of my starting weight I should only gain 15 pounds throughout the pregnancy, but the web tells me to gain 1-5 pounds in my first trimester.

My next doctor appointment is next week so I will discuss with her then, but right now I am kind of nervous. Anyone else in the same boat?

Old wives tales

eatinwatermelonseeds — Sat, 06 Oct 2018 15:14:22 +0000

I know it's a little early, but I'm impatient. Have you guys tried any old wives tales to predict the sex, yet? What have they said?

Do you have a "feeling" about what you may be having? Any dreams?

Do you plan on finding out?

Do you have a preference?

I know there was the ring test thread but figured this would be a good one to share other predictions we've tried!

Okay if you haven't been in the Randoms thread, we're playing with the Gender Ring Prediction Test. I had never heard of this before, but everyone should play and post your results below. This is obviously just for fun!

Here's how it works:
