Ahh, so everyone is catching up with the achiness?

Christina - as far as the previa. don't worry. I was also told I have a complete previa. I researched it loads, and it turns out basically you need a c-section bc of a bleeding risk that is all. At 16 weeks it was complete, at 18 weeks it "moved up a tinge", at 20 weeks it was "low lying with a 'sinus'", and at 24 weeks its still "low lying placenta", but not a previa any longer. It does move and seem to resolve itself in 80% of the cases. But if not, its not a major thing really.

Tailbones.. ugh. Faith the donut didn't help me bc it was round. I got one with a cutout for the tailbone area. When I got a flare I was vicodined to the hilt and in bed on my stomach. That was the only position (other then standing) I could tolerate. I could not sit even if I wanted to. I had a pilonidal cyst. But I got the pillow after my surgery when I was able to sit already and it made it so much more comfortable. it was like a U shaped pillow.

Heather - great to see you're having fun. Getting jealous here... Enjoy the rest of it..

As for lotions, cocoa butter made me itch and also i got very nausous of the smell in my first tri so I don't really like it anymore. I use Johnsons Softlotion - they make a few varieties. I alternate that one day, and nivea creme the other. So far so good.

The gel sounds good. I use JJ baby oil w/ aloe & vitamin E, I think I'll just switch the gel part & apply it to my sexxy belly when soaking wet! LOL

We had our second u/s today. We saw tiny little arm buds and legs. The baby is measuring 7 weeks 5 days (so one day a head of schedule). The HB is 166. I have no idea if that is good but the doc seemed happy with that so I'm happy too!

Every time I go for the U/S I think "is it still going to be there?" You would think that I would be confident by the ridiculous fatigue and the food aversion (I can't eat chocolate anymore... it makes me want to throw up) but I am always afraid that it will be gone and that I am just a head case making up all these weird symptoms! I will be happy to see a bump!!

Congrats Amy those u/s moments are some of the best.

Wow Faith - I rmember when you where Amy is. i can't believe you are 15 1/2 wks.

Diet - I skipped past the achiness and shot right to pain. My back/spine and sometimes ribcage (when I lay on my side)are killing me. It is up high too. Not the usual lower back drama. I am scared of a chiropractor. never gone, and the whole adjustment thing freaks me out, but I might have to. This pain is for the birds. I am really surprised too, bc I lifted weights for years.
