Hi guys, Please share your updates! How far along are you: Most recent symptoms: Any food aversions: Any food cravings:

Hi girls! Sorry I have been so delayed in getting this typed out, but I have had lots of company and little to no sleep. Kellan Frank was born via c-sect on 1/21 at 12:21 (how cool). He was 8lbs and 7ozs and 21 and 3/4 inches long. I had such a different experience this time around, for the...

GIRL! Welcome to the world Maci Lee! She was born at 1:20 pm, weighing 6 pounds 6 ounces. Congrats to Jill and Andy, and of course big sister Allison!

Well, I am getting down to it. Tomorrow by this time I will be holding my new little baby. I am so full of emotions right now. Nervous for the c section and recovery. Excited to meet my new son or daughter. Sad for no more one one time with Allie and I will miss her while in the hospital. And...

I need some advice. Maybe this is just so difficult for me to figure out because of my pregnancy brain. As you know we do not know the gender yet and Andy had so much fun last time announcing it to the family. We this time they have the baby recover with the mom in a recovery room. So family can't...

After a long and hard decision, I'm going to get my tubes tied during my c-section. It's crazy that I've been through so much IF stuff, have had 2 unassisted pregnancies, and am making a decision like this. I'm 38, and this second pregnancy has taken a toll on my body. It's way harder than it...

Just thought you guys would want to know that Jody24 is in labor... Or at least she was about 9 hours ago. Most likely she's had the baby by now because she was at 7cm and had her water broken 9 hours ago. Her baby had passed meconium, so they probably wouldn't have let her labor for too much...

I had an appointment with my OB today. I'm 31w 3d and I'm measuring 37 weeks. She said she wasn't too concerned about it as I am a "bigger girl". However, we are doing an u/s in 4 weeks to check on the growth of the baby. I measured big with my last baby, but not this big. I'm wondering if...

I know most of us are experiencing a second/third/fourth pregnancy. Can you tell me if you ever lost your plug, and if so, what did it look like? I think I lost mine today, but it looks different than with my DD 1. It is definitely not normal discharge. I'll bring it up with my doc on...

I have been having the worst time sleeping lately. I am dead tired by 8:00 at night. I fall asleep pretty fast, but 1 hour later I wake up. Sometimes to roll to my other side or feeling like I have to use the bathroom. This goes on for every hour until about 4 am. Then from my 4-6 sleep is the best...

WOW, it's November already! Time sure if flying by. Hello Ladies. Been kinda slow around here. Hope everyone is feeling well. Any doc apts this week? How is everyone feeling? How was your Halloween?

I thought I would ask you guys before calling my OB. As I have said before, I am obese, so excessive weight gain is dangerous for me and the little one. I have done a good job at controlling it so far. Originally, I lost 6-7 pounds because of m/s. I have put that back on plus 1-2 pounds, so I...

Hello ladies! This is the last week of October!! Then it's holiday months and then due date month!! Hopefully that means the rest will go fast! Has anyone started or finished their holiday shopping? How have you been feeling? Baby movement, lot's or little?

Has anyone ever experienced your belly being tender to the touch? I have had times when something will just brush up or touch my belly and it feels sore, almost bruised. Being this is baby #2 I wouldn't think it would be stretching skin and/or ligaments. Seems like it has gotten worse the past...

Another week has gone by! How is everyone feeling? Any dr's appt? Any scans? Any nesting? AFM-Nothing going on this week. I have an OB appt next week. No scans yet, but I know I will get one more just to see what position she is in for delivery. Nesting?? Geesh! My dh asked me last night we...

Another week has gone by. I cannot believe how close we are getting:D How is everyone feeling? Any fun cravings? How about doctor appointments or preparations? Is anyone taking childbirth prep classes?
