@GraysonsMama- that makes my heart so happy to hear. My first came at 41 weeks and second came at 35 weeks. My doc has mentioned possibly getting a progesterone shot and it makes me feel better that I may not have to worry about another preterm labor.
@justsuzie - that's an excellent way to think of it (at least in my brain). I also don't have any PMS symptoms when I get my period and I have no symptoms now. Perhaps it's related.

@drablnd I'm changing my undies three times a day. It's ridiculous. I just need to bust out some panty liners. I saw someone in another thread a couple days ago say something about their lady garden being more like a swamp lately and I think that hit the nail on the head. Talk about fish carpet, amirite?
Bahahaha that was me! Still going strong over here. Always panty liners are my jam. I think they are actually for urine but I used them my last pregnancy too and they are awesome.
@moonlady-2 That sounds good to me, though. I feel like my sex drive has been typical for the days in a normal cycle where I'm not fertile. Because it normally increases a lot before o, I think my overall drive has gone down. But I'm pretty sure increased sex drive falls within normal for pregnant ladies. Maybe someone else can point you to somewhere specific.
My sex drive has been a lot higher than normal. Anyone else? I feel like most of what I see on here is opposite.
My increased sex drive hasn't kicked in with this pregnancy yet but with the first two, holy cow. I never really had intense food cravings but that's what I think it was like. Really intense despite ALL THE TIME. I definitely felt "out of the norm". Glad I'm not the only one
Hi Ladies! This will be my second baby, I'm 6Ws. I have had this rash down my legs all the sudden. It won't let me post a picture, they are just very little red bumps only on my legs. I've never had a rash before. Anyone else experience this or have any advice?
@karabrown Hi, welcome, and congrats on your bfp. I don't have any experience with rashes, but it sounds like the kind of thing that might warrant a call to your doctor.
Also, if you planning to hang around here, we'd love to have a proper introduction There's an intro thread at the top of the board
Question: Is there any reason that if blood draws are covered by my insurance at a certain hospital, an ultrasound would not be? The scheduler in radiology made me paranoid it wouldn't be covered, but my blood draws/testing are always only like $10 after insurance is billed.
@MJDsquared, some insurances are just different than others is all I can say. For me, everything is covered except one $25 copay for my OBs office and $175 for the hospital. If your insurance covers basic services, I wouldn't worry. The scheduler probably just has to say whatever she did so people aren't blindsided by a bill.
@moonlady-2 ohh yeah! I've been having vivid sex dreams almost every night for the past week definitely catches DH off guard cause I am never one for morning sex, unless I'm pregnant lol by evening though I am wayy too exhausted so sex is just completely out of the question. I don't remember my sex drive increasing with my last pregnancy until well into my second tri.
Anybody else have this morning sickness that comes and goes? It knocked me off my butt the past two days and then today (after about 9am) I have been ok. With DD, I was sick from 5.5 weeks until 20 weeks and then on and off throughout my pregnancy.
I literally cannot keep ANyTHINg down which makes me starving- then I overeat and do it all over again. I just can't win for losing- 6 weeks and bloated as a mofo which is crazy because I haven't been able to eat a decent meal and keep it.
I am pretty anxious. I don't really have any women in my life I can ask pregnancy questions so every cramp or twinge I analyze. Like tonight I have cramping and some slight discharge and I'm worried even though I know it's probably normal.
Thirsty, thirsty, thirsty... my clothes are already getting uncomfortable. I certainly think I've gained water weight already. Achy and burning breasts! So different than my first child. I never thought you could feel like you are showing at 6 weeks, but this time around has proven me way wrong!
also, I have had some very mild cramping and brownish discharge... makes me nervous but "I'm a bleeder". I always have a pretty heavy implantation bleed, so I'm hopeful it is just related to all the changes!
Anyone else have crazy sore nipples?? Mine only seem to hurt after I work out, but they're in pain for hours after!! I took my bra off hoping it would help but here I am, still in pain over an hour later. Anyone else experience this and have any tips to help ease the pain?
I feel like my boobs are enormous. They're not, because I have tiny boobs, but they are reeeally filling out my bra. At this rate I'll have to buy a new one like next week.
@BC814- I'm 9 weeks today and absolutely busted out a belly band for my pants. This is #3 for me and I feel way more bloated, earlier than I did with my last pregnancies. It's hard for me to remember that this is my 3rd pregnancy so while I didn't show until 20 weeks with my first, maybe I'm going to show at 12 weeks with this one.
The bloat is SO real. 8w 2d, and the minute I eat something I suddenly look 6 months pregnant. I started showing around 14 weeks last time, but I have a feeling it'll be a lot sooner this time around!
I'm sooo bloated and feel like I already have a bump. I'm 5w4d. That's RIDICULOUS. I didn't show until 19 weeks with my first! I am anxiously awaiting my first OB appt to confirm I'm not having octuplets.
@BabyWnumbertwo I have reason(s) to suspect I might be carrying more than one. DH and I found out I won't be getting an ultrasound at my first appointment, and he said "I just want to know how many babies I'm having!"
