Hey! Hope none of you mind that I'm starting a new thread!!

How was everyone's 4th? I bought fireworks and had a family cook-out--only two people from my family came, we're having a drama..... Sigh......

Anyway, the food was great and the fireworks were great. The only downfall of the evening was that Jake didn't enjoy the fireworks as much as I was hoping he would. He liked the colors allright, but the booming hurt his ears. I'll try again when he's a little older.

Everything is going well with the pregnancy. My morning sickness is almost totally gone--just a little twinge now and then.

Am I the only pregnant fat chick now?

I need to see some birth announcements and BABY PICTURES!!!!!

I'm here! I think I'm finally starting to put some of the weight i lost back on. And I've decided to try going a few days without my nightly dose of unisom to see if hte morning sickness is over with.

nope you are not alone I am definately a pregnant fat chick

Whew! I was beginning to worry!

It's so funny, when I got on my hotmail account this morning I had a BIRTH ANNOUNCMENT and BABY PICTURES from one of my friends!! Maybe she was reading my mind!

Unisom is definately back in. I was so sick yesterday I couldn't hardly function. Boo.

Hi Girls
I hope every one is doing great....I am so happy , I have 12 week to go.
Have every one decide on names?

My baby will be a surprise , is hard to wait until the big day.

Boy : Tristan Devine

girl: Mia Mickaela

Which are yours....

I'm also here, Ive been reading but have not posted...I'm 20 weeks and counting, diabetic too *sigh*. Meganbeth..just wanted you to know I too was sick, I'm trying out these cool new seaband things..you wear them on your wrist, so far so good!!

Yeah i tried those and they didn't help me much. SO glad they help you though!! The only thing that has done anything is taking unisom before bed every night.

Our names so far are:
Boys: Liam, Rhys, Zachary, Kyle
Girls: Emma, Zoey, Aeryn,

Spoke too soon, Not so much with the wrist bands..I think i will try the Unisom so it helps with morning sickness? Because I cant sleep ether..

Hi, new to posting on this forum, but not to 3fc. I am Donna, 30 yo and pregnant with my first. We are having a boy and will be naming him Tobias William, but we call him Toby. I am on hospital bedrest, and will be here for the duration of my pregnancy, which I am hoping will go full term. I have incompetent cervix and had a cerclage placed at 14 weeks, and at 23w6d, my cervix had funneled past the stitch of my cerclage! Since I have been on hospital bedrest, almost all funneling is gone and my cervical length has almost doubled, so it must be working, lol.
I hope to get to know ya'll better!!

Tiff-My morning sickness was so bad that I ended up in the hospital on Iv's, and my saving grace was Zofran, maybe something to ask your OB for.

How has everyone's weight gain been?

Hugs,
Donna

I'd clear it with your OB or MW first but mine told me to take 1/2 of a unisom (NOT the fast melts, whatever the active ingredient is in those isn't what you want). If that didn't work she was going to put me on a B6 suppliment as well which is what a lot of my preggo friends have been taking 1/2 unisom at bed and b6 suppliments during the day.

The only thing that kept me out of the hospital is the fact that I drink A LOT of water. Everytime I'd throw up I'd force myself to drink 2-3 glasses of water, a bit obsessive maybe? I don't want to go to the hospital lol.

As for weight gain I was down a total of 12 lbs but I've gained 2 or 3 back now.

Danna, are you at home or in the hospital? Hope all is going well
I'll talk to my doctor on Monday. I really thought I was past this part

Megan: I also ask about the unisom, thanks again.

Like now, I'm up because there is a thunderstorm and I'm feeling like crap, not to mention I'll be chasing after 2 kids in a couple of hours. I'm praying for November to get here quickly!

Tiff-I am in the hospital on bedrest. It is so boring and I hate being away from DH, but its whats best for my little guy. When they put me in here, they gave me the steroid shots for his lungs, so we know he has a better chance if he comes early.
Hope you get some relief from your m/s.

Hugs,
Donna

Oh Danna, that has to be hard (I cant say what I want to say about it lol)..so what the heck do you do all day? How long have you been in there? The steroid is sure to help, and all of this will be so worth it in the end!

The good news is you don't have to cook, I'm saying this cause i just burnt the heck out of dinner!
