Wow i'm on the third box of my ticker already! that seems way too soon to me! lol this morning my dh said it looked like i was showing a little and i could feel my uterus as a hard spot on my stomach. i really think the 'showing' was just bloating but i am pretty sure i did feel the ute!

the headaches are still coming and going......blargh!

also what does round ligament pain feel like? i have feltkinda crampy on the sides, like inner hip area. is that the round ligament zone?

oh I also have been meaning to tell u guys what my sister said at camping. we are all sitting around the fire chilling (they'd all had a few drinks) and she asked "so are you going to have an ALL NATURAL birth for your baby?" and i said Yep, and she said "I am worried you are making the worst decision of your life, and that you'll put the baby in danger" so i was like whatever, and laughed it off and then told her she might not be invited to the birth & she said "oh no no i'll support watever u want to do" PFFFFFFFFF!!! so yeah, my sister clearly doesnt think i can natural birth, delightful! Good thing I am getting a doula!

What a rude comment from your sister! Are you planning on having her at the birth? I ain't having anyone but DF and my midwife. I don't want an audience!!

Way to go for getting to the second box! It's so much fun watching the progress through the boxes!

I'm not sure what round ligament pain is? I've been crampy on and off throughout this whole pregnancy, so figure it's part of the fun of pregnancy!!

I think it's just stuff stretching and growing. Normal for sure. I think that location sounds about right!

Wow I can't believe how rude she was! You can so do a natural birth! If I can, anyone can haha.

If she's feeling that way already, I wouldn't have her in there with you. You need full support not someone who is going to doubt you!

Awww I can't wait to be in the third box. Little shrimp starts to look like a baby then.

I'm sorry your sister was so rude. We all know you CAN handle a natural birth. We all believe in you here

you can soooo have a natural birth! Your sister doesn't know what she's talking aobut.

I can't believe how FAST your pregnancy is going. You make me want to get a new ticker to see what box i'm on.

As for the crampys, they are probably just uterine growing pains. Rounds ligament pains are SHARP and HURT.

yeah i was gunna have SIL and that one sister there if they wanted to, but i'm pretty sure my sister is not going to be there especially after that comment, plus she lives 4 hrs away. SIL might not be coming either, but i think i'd be ok with her there because she's really supportive of the natural birth thing, but she'll be back to work and have payne so i'm not sure she'll just be able to come here at the drop of a hat. other than them i plan to have my dh and doula and midwives. no mothers! i'd freak the *** out! lol

I think it's really important to only have persons around who fully understand and support you in your decision. There may be tough times when you may feel like you do not want to go through with it so you will need the positive reassurance from those around you. You may not get that from someone who's on the fence or completely over the other side.
