whitsmor12

  I am new at this website and board, and I just want to get in touch with all the mommies that are due around or on the same day that I am.. April 22nd. This is my first pregnancy and it's been in between okay and not so good. Like many, I still have morning sickness.. I have headaches to the point where it feels like a migraine, I have backaches, and LOTS and LOTS of allergies! I've had my first ultrasound a couple weeks ago, sadly we only got a picture of the baby's feet but it still something =] They said it was too early to see the sex of the baby, I'm not sure when my next ultrasound is but hopefully soon! I've agained about 5.8 pounds, a lot of people say I'm small but then when you see my belly they say it's huge. Lol. I've been feeling the baby move like crazy and it makes me so happy because my precious angel will be here soon. =D  I just want to connect with lots of mommies!! =DD

I am going into my 17th week, I am due April 28th. I haven't had any ultrasounds yet! Only the heartbeat doppler. I am jealous of women who get to have multiple ultrasounds! I am scheduled for the anatomy ultrasound December 9th though, and am very impatiently awaiting that day! I am pretty small too. In fact, every single pair of maternity jeans I try on look like potato sacks on me! They are so big in the legs and butt and are long enough to fit an Amazon! Have you looked for jeans yet? Had any luck?

Hello and Welcome! I am new to this site also and I love it already! I just started writing and responding to boards today. I am due on April 15th! First Trimester for me was pretty difficult but I am loving second trimester. I have more energy and feel a lot better. I do get headaches but they are slowly going away. I am getting them less frequently now. I only get probably get two a week now. My back has been killing me also. I feel like a old lady! My tailbone hurts too. Ugh.....!! I have gained about 15 pounds already!! I got huge!! My doctor said it is mostly water retention. So that makes me feel a little better. I can feel the baby also and it is sooooooooo exciting!! I love it!! Well, I hope to see you on here again sometime soon! Take care!

Hi! I'm due 4/21. I'm having twin boys, so I'm feeling huge!  Already up 17 lbs (though that's good for twins, or so I'm told).  My "big" ultrasound is on 12/7, can't wait.

Hi there!  I'm due the 21st.  I havn't felt any movement yet, looking forward to that!  Lately I've been actually feeling kind of gassy and just decided to try to figure out what foods could be causing that b/c I think it's what's making me extra bloated too.  I'm not sure my exact weight gain at the moment, but it seems high compared to most at this point.  I was up about 13lbs at 16 weeks.  I know 1 reason is b/c I could eat only carbs during the 1st tri and my body is not used to that at all.  Plus, I just gain weight quickly, so I think that might be why my body is reacting this way.  B/c I watch what I eat and exercise 6-7 days a week, I'm still hoping the weight gain will even out at some point, but I don't know.  Other then that, I'm getting headaches almost daily, my back aches most days, and I'm having trouble sleeping.  Oh, and super dry scalp and some minor breakouts.  I think that's it for me.  GL to you!

Hi! I'm due apr. 16. Not planning to find out the sex which drives my husband crazy!  This is our second pregnancy from ivf. I delivered twin boys last november at 24 weeks due to incompetent cervix.  Phate died at 1 week and Atticus passed away at 31/2 weeks.  I have been on pins and needles, but I thank God every day I am still pregnant with this dear little baby.

I have been reading posts for the past few days, and it brings a lot of comfort to see others with the same questions and fears as myself.

Hi!  I'm due 4/23....this is our 2nd, we have a 4.5 year old daughter as well.  Big ultrasound is 12/9 and we will find out if it's a boy or girl then. Gained 8 lbs so far, not too bad - I gained almost 50 with DD so I am REALLY trying to avoid that since only ~1.5 yrs ago I got down to a size 4 again and maintained that til I got BFP in August!  Really would like to gain 25-30 lbs only this time.

My allergies are bad right now but otherwise feeling good, I've been getting maternity massages and just pampering myself more in that way than I did when I was pregnant with #1.

 Hey! Welcome to you also! =DD I've noticed some changes for me this week, but I hope it's not me imagining things.. Less morning sickness!! It's sooo great! lol! Yeah I feel like an old lady too, the other night I had to walk around all hunched over because my stomach was hurting so bad, I think it was just a bad case of gas [bleh!] and Last night I was as hyper as can be before I went to bed and my Fiance just couldn't keep up with me! hehe! Have you found out the sex of your baby? What was your first ultrasound like? What's the heartbeat?! =DD You can email me anytime, I only get online once a day due to college. But I'll try to get back with you as soon as possible! =]]

 Wow! Is this your first pregnancy?! At first I thought I was having twins because it's in both my fiance and my generation, but luckily we just have one. It's just we both started college before we found out about the baby and having 2 would just put us in the hole and one of us would have to quit school for a few years. I hope that it goes well with you and your family! =]] What are you hoping that your twins are?
