17 weekers - how are you feeling?

teresakay78 · October 2010

I am still so tired! And can't stand for very long sometimes - must sit! People are starting to notice a bump on me. Counting down the days till anatomy scan in 3 weeks, which will be followed by painting the room & registering!

MissLadyTay · October 2010

Feeling better. Thank goodness! But most (seriously, 95%) foods still give me the heeby jeebies, and I still haven't gained any weight. I live on a diet of lots of juices, cheese, and fruits/veggies dipped in Ranch dressing. But at least I'm not puking any more!!!

I'm starting to feel some movement!

I have my anatomy scan in a month - when I'm 21 weeks. The Tuesday before Thanksgiving. We're excited to see the baby again.

MauiBride2008 · October 2010

Still feeling pretty good here. I'm tired, but not as tired as I used to be in first tri. Last week I was feeling a bit nauseous, but went away after a few does - wonder if it was just a bug?? I don't think I'm feeling any movement yet, but I still get the twinges down in my belly from time to time and it's annoying. I can't stand for long periods of time either, I feel I have to sit down a lot too.

We find out a week from tomorrow what LO is so I'm super excited to start planning things and moving forward. It will feel so much more real to me

ncbelle · October 2010

Really good - aside from low grade heart burn which has already decided to plague me. Oh well!! I think I'm definitely starting to look pregnant (earlier than last time) but strangers are still a bit unsure.

Our anatomy scan is next Tuesday (I'll be a day shy of 19 weeks) - I'm way more excited than I feel like I should be ;-)

ailidespain · October 2010

18 weeks here.

Feeling ok still tired though!

I have gained about 6 lbs which is good and I should be on track to not gain more than 30 which was my goal.

I feel movement but not consistently.

Anatomy scan in 13 days!!!!!!!!!!!!! So excited!

niceybee05 · October 2010

I am so happy m/s has subsided a bit and I can eat and not vomit all day. Although I still vomit form time to time. I also have more energy than before but these ligament pains are not so fun.

RunningGal900 · October 2010

I can finally eat again, but the headaches are killer and I'm exhausted. I've started having a small cup of coffee every day and it is amazing.

irelandsangel81 · October 2010

I am feeling great, so great that sometimes I feel like I'm in denial that I'm even pregnant lol. I'm still at the point where I can't tell if I am feeling baby or gas bubbles. I'm hoping they become clearer soon. My belly is definitely starting to show though and I started wearing maternity clothes.

My anatomy scan is next Thursday I'm so exctied!!!

1sttimeMOM11 · October 2010

I feel great ) Counting down the days as well, my anatomy scan is Nov 5th.

hhhmmm · October 2010

2 days shy of 17 weeks here Smile

Doing ok, I definitely look pregnant as if i swallowed half a basketball. Thankfully it's all in my belly so far (knock on wood:-) I have gained 3 1/2 lbs so far as well.

The morning sickness is still here, but i have a routine that mnimizes it to where it's tollarable. As a PP said the ligament pain sucks, I feel as if my stomach is as hard as a rock, and has no more room to stretch (thank you lotion for the little bit of help). Overall though, very excited to be progressing through my pregnancy, and finding out in 3 weeks what i'm having, boy or girl.

helm74 · October 2010

Better. I wish the energy would come back more. We went for a mile hike and I thought someone was going to have to carry me back. But I wasn't allowed to do hardly anything during the first trimester so I hope it's just being out of shape. So short little frequent walks for now. No more m/s but I still have a lot of aversions.

Very much showing, but this is my third. I do feel the baby move every day, which is great. The anatomy scan is scheduled for a week from Friday. At two other ultrasounds they have called it a girl. If they do at this one I'm gong to believe them and start buying stuff.

sarahbeth827 · October 2010

Pretty good! The heartburn is pretty bad, but nothing a few tums won't fix. We have our anatomy scan on Nov. 13. I'm so excited!

teresakay78 · October 2010

I forgot to mention that I constantly feel like I just ate a Thanksgiving dinner and am soooo full. It is very uncomfortable sometimes. But God, do I have a long way to go. I better get used to feeling like this.

Mimi'sAttyMom · October 2010

I feel great! I'm convinced this child is a boy - I'm STARVING all the time. It'll be a miracle if I don't gain 50 pounds. I have sciatic and hip pain, and trouble getting comfy while sleeping, but otherwise I'm doing fine.

Our anatomy scan in Nov. 10th - we're still planning on remaining Team Green.

iluvruz · October 2010

I am defiantly feeling so much better than my first trimester. I am able to eat more now and am not as tired or nauseous as I was last month. Right now I currently have a COLD, Ahhhhh but am getting better, sure miss my taking medicines..lol..My doctor said I can take Robitussin DM but am trying not too. Am drinking tons of fluids and vitamin C which it helping,

Our anatomy scan is this Thursday the 28th, My husband and I are sooooo excited! We are looking for Cribs this weekend and going to start on the nursery. I cant wait!

redhotrachel35 · October 2010

I'm feeling pretty good overall. I still get nauseated here and there, especially if I wait too long to eat. It's 1,000,000x better than what it was in 1st tri. I've been getting heartburn almost daily, which is not fun but so far it's tolerable. I'm not really showing yet, but I can feel movement pretty regularly now so that makes me happy.

Anatomy scan is November 10.

jteneback · October 2010

My MW suggested 1 Tbs blackstrap molasses mixed with a little milk to help with the tiredness. I am feeling pretty good, myself.

Temp67694062501186 · October 2010

17 weeks today and.. well I dunno. The m/s is gone and has been for about two weeks so thats awesome. But I've started getting headaches which sucks so so bad. I had NO headaches with DD. Not even one during the entire pregnancy - which was a very welcome change because before getting pregnant with her I suffered from headaches several times a week. I haven't had headaches like this since before that pregnancy because even after she was born, I dunno if it was the hormones in my system while I was breastfeeding or what - but still no headaches... this is sucking lately. I'll bring it up to my OB tomorrow.

Feeling little flutters hear and there. Sciatic nerve pain with bezerk yesterday after DD and I spent an afternoon at the park. I spent the evening suffering.

misssurly · October 2010

Hey fellow 17 weekers! I feel generally good ... much better than the first few months. I get tired on longer dog walks and am excited for my bed every night!

My bump is showing more but I can still pull off my jeans with an elastic. It's tough to dress when your regular clothes are too snug but maternity is too large. Nothing feels flattering.

Aches and pains in my uterus but not sure if it's RLP... thought I might have felt a little poke in my belly last night but couldn't be sure. Excited to feel it already, I am feeling impatient We get the full 20 week ultrasound on the 15th, can't wait!!

Anyone else have to pee ALL the time? It's driving me crazy and there's never much but I feel like I'm in the washroom every 10 minutes!

GHBEA · October 2010

I am very very tired cant sleep well, my bump is finally there and the best thing is I feel the baby moving all the time now

myturn987 · October 2010

I'm feeling pretty good. I think I may be feeling movement but it's not consistent yet. I also have quite a bit of energy compared to weeks 5-12. Hoping that keeps up through the holidays! We have our anatomy scan scheduled for Nov. 18th and it can't come soon enough. As of my appt. last week I have gained 10lbs which my doctor is happy about. I'm hoping to slow it down a little bit so I don't gain an excessive amount. My customers at the bank have started noticing my bump so I guess I'm showing. I'm looking forward to having a noticeable bump as opposed to the "could she be pregnant or is she just getting thick through the middle" bump that I've had for the past few weeks. I can't believe how close we all are to finding out what we are having (if you plan to that is)! Time seems to be flying!

yesthisiskim · October 2010

My m/s came back full-force over the weekend which has made me a miserable mess. And I agree with the not standing too long thing - I always feel very winded and occassionally dizzy. Other than that I am very proud of my protruding belly and all the comments I've gotten on it and I cannot WAIT for my anatomy scan in exactly one week!!

mrs.conn23 · October 2010

17w2d here. Things are getting better. Starting to feel baby move around more. Not as tired, but still restless at night. I get up to pee at least once a night. We have the big u/s next Wed. I can't wait.

elottino · October 2010

jteneback:

Have you tried it? It sounds... not appetizing! Couldn't I just eat a bunch of brown sugar instead?

I get tired after going out. Last week I had to shop for my Dad's wedding, and it took 4 days! I used to be able to shop all day. Now only an hour in, I'm ready to go home. Other than that, I have some pain in my lower abs and back pain.

Our anatomy scan is on the 3rd like a few other people's. Can't wait!

Holly520 · October 2010

I'm feeling pretty good. However, I want to eat all the fruit I can get my hands on. Like, I dream about fruit. Its insane.

blugoldqt · October 2010

Seriously in your boat! I can't believe how tired I still am (though I can now proudly stay awake past 9pm! LOL).... I have about 2.5 weeks to go until we can find out and I am absolutely dying to find out!!! I keep looking at cribs and such but I want to wait until we know...and names! SO doesn't want to argue names until we only have to debate one gender (he is certain it's a girl and I am praying for a boy) November 15th can't come soon enough!!!

Nikkieb11 · October 2010

Feeling great...finally starting to show a little! I have the anatomy scan today, which is super exciting! We won't be finding out the sex...but still just as excited to see how much she or he has grown!

SwissMs99 · October 2010

Feeling pretty good - I'm dealing less with pregnancy symptoms & more with this wisdom tooth that decided to emerge a little more this week & poke me in the side of my mouth. I see the doc tomorrow for my monthly check-up & we will then book our 20 week u/s. Super excited!

I've been feeling more tired this week as well (and less heartburn - eating a LOT less at dinner time...that seems to be helping) but I also feel like I'm fighting a cold off so I'm just taking it as an excuse to get some extra rest.

I booked our expectant parent classes this morning! All of them will be in February so that works out well. Thankfully, a lot of good dates are still open.

Nunu&Eddie · October 2010

Feeling good!

Have been very cranky and emotional though, and my lower back is in almost contant pain (I think it is a posture change issue with the bump). I definitely have a bump. No doubt about it.

Anatomy scan next Tuesday. OB wanted it between 18 and 20 weeks and they scheduled me for 18w2d. This is going so fast. Just a few weeks until midpoint!
