Hi Rachel! That's okay life is busy. Hope you're feeling well. I check the posts almost daily so if you ever want to chat send me a message or pm.
This is my second baby and this pregnancy has been a lot tougher than my first. I was really blessed with dd her pregnancy was so easy I enjoyed every second, I feel terrible for not being as excited this time around but it seems any symptom you could get, I get lol. Hopefully soon now I'll start feeling better. Just had an appt yesterday baby's hb sounded great. My Bp wasmuch lower than usual which explains the dizziness and extreme fatigue I'm still having according to my ob. He said I need to increase my salt intake and fluids, and to get up extra slow cause hes concerned I could pass out with such a low Bp. Anyways I'm rambling, but hopeyoure doing good and I'm always here if you want to talk, vent whatever. Talk to you soon!

Hi Amanda! I'm sorry that you're having a difficult pregnancy. I am as well. This is my second also. When I was pregnant with ds, I didn't have any symptoms at all. This time around I've had everything from nauseousness to extreme fatigue to leg cramps and shortness of breath.

I'm glad that they baby's hb sounds good. What was the bpm? Mine was 144 when I went two weeks ago. I hope the dizziness and fatigue ease up soon!

I'm also here anytime you want to chat. I wish I could be on more. I usually just read posts because of lack of time and energy

Take care and we'll talk soon!

Hi! It sounds like our pregnancies have been pretty similar so far, unfortunately. Hopefully soon we will both feelbetter soon.
The hb was 170 the first time I heard it and this time was168, my dd was always around 160-170 so my guess is another girl, although symptom wise they're night and day. My pregnancy with her was wonderful. Are you finding out what youre having? Any guesses? We will find out in about a month or so. Talk to you soon.

Everyone thinks that I'm having a girl because of the symptoms I'm having this time around. The gender predictor says that I'm having a girl too. I'd like a girl but would be fine with another boy

I'm starting to get a little energy back but have had lots of round ligament pain this week. I hope we both get some relief soon as well!

Hi Rachel
Just wanted to see how you're feeling? Is your round ligament pain any better?
I've been starting to get some energy but still want a nap when dd naps, hardly ever happens though then by dinner I'm exhausted.
Are you finding out what you're having? If sodo you know when?

[ethansmom0408]

Thanks for asking I'm starting to get some energy back. My pain is a little better. We find out the gender on October 20th. I can't wait!

How are you feeling? I'm glad you're getting some energy back.

My ob doesn't like to check until after 20 weeks and the way my appointments fall monthly I'll be almost 22 weeks. So dh and I have decided to go and pay for an ultrasound for fun to find out what we are having around 18 weeks probably on oct 15th, can't wait. Part of me thinks this pregnancy is just dragging the other part thinks holy cow we are already to the point of finding out

[ethansmom0408]

I know what you mean. I can't believe that I'm 15 weeks today. I think it's going fast. This will be my last pregnancy so I'm trying to cherish it.

Hi Rachel,
Just wanted to check and see how you're doing? Anything new and exciting? How's the nursery furniture look?
Hope you've been feeling well and things are going great for you.
I have my official big ultrasound on Thursday which I'm anxious for and also nervous to see my ob my last conversation with him on the phone last weekend didn't go well, he was a big jerk and I called because I wasconcerned cause my bp waselevated and I had a floater spot in my left eye and he acted like I was such a bother and I never call him unless it's a true concern and don't think I should wait until my next appointment. Now I have a few more concerns, I'm still experiencing that spot and flushed feeling like my bp is up occasionally, I feel like my uterus is extremely heavy everything aches so much more than it did with dd and I have Braxton hicks that wake me up at night and after I pee, I hope he doesn't make ne feel silly again, it's very disappointing.
Anyways sorry to go on and on about my issues. Hope to hear from you soon.
