You are 25 weeks pregnant.

I'm excited to be 25 weeks. Only a couple more and we're in the 3rd trimester. So exciting. This is definitely going a bit faster between work and my 3 year old, but it still crawls at times. I guess I'm just excited to meet my little man--and eventually wear pants that zip and button. lol

Aaaaargh! Sciatica!!!! Getting hard to walk at random intervals in the day. My husband sees me limping and pitys me. Not fun to be pitied. Even worse is the pain that causes it.

It's terrible that you've been hurt like this twice! I'm sure you are a little calloused now. It sounds like you have family around you that will be there as you adjust to having a new baby, so you aren't alone! I'm a little nervous about having a second too! It will be difficult to juggle. But at least your older daughter is in school so you have some time alone with the baby! Wishing you happier times in the future! You'll get through this like you've done before and one day you'll find a person who will be good to you!

i really just don't know what else to say like I said I'm fairly quiet most of the time... It's like something inside me won't let me cry I guess bc in the relationship before him I was with a guy for 4 years and he was cheating the whole time and hiding it plus always accusing me one day he got horribly sick and went into the hospital and she showed up there. That's when I found out.... Till this day if he can find me he begs and crys for me to return.... And my insides just turn cold to him I've had friend that have done me wrong... Too and I became the same way if they cry to me and beg for forgiveness I'm cold bc I know I have gone thru hell and high water for them and they hurt me repeatedly. Idk some people may sob and cry etc but I don't anymore cuz maybe I expect it and I'm not suprised anymore still yes I'm human it hurts but I know I still got to keep moving. I'm depressed bc I know it's hard with a new baby as I already have a 6 year old daughter from that previous relationship which was a relationship when I was very young and I to this day take care of her on my own but now all these years later and this guy is all she knows so it is very hard. Esp bc not too long ago we were planning a wedding for next year.

Honorsmom - I'm so sorry to hear that you are going through this right now! What an @#&hole! I know it will be hard for you to accept, a man you loved and planned to marry, but I hope that you have some peace with the idea that at least he's doing this before you are married with a baby and he ended up having an affair. Sounds like that's the kind of man he is and it would have happened eventually! It will take you some time to come to terms with this but in the end you will find a man who will be loyal and treat you right! You should find someone to open up to. You have to let this come out or you'll make yourself crazy! Even if it's just on here, you should let yourself vent and cry a little. It will help you heal and move past him! Try to get out and do something to for yourself today! Pamper yourself and forget about everything for a while!

. I'm pregnant and depressed... My boy friend and I were engaged to be married and he took back my ring months ago... After it was ordered he proposed in may.... w/o the ring... I'm moving to stay with my family for emotional support and he feels he doesn't have to do anything... in some weird way I'm ready to Get as far away as possible but another part of me is broken.... I recently found out that he is seeing some one else and has been keeping it secret... I feel like I hate him with every inch of me but I don't express it Ive cried but that's it other than that I'm fairly quiet... It just that... So much is on my mind I can hardly concentrate on being sad my baby is due in 3 months and I have to figure out how to do everything on my own.

chanda210 - 3 days ago
Mandy that is terrible!! I agree, no matter how much you may dislike someone that is uncalled for. I am upset and I wasn't there. Many blessings to you and your baby. I feel a tremendous amount of pressure also. I don't remember feeling like this with my first. I guess it is true what they say, "Every pregnancy is different." Week 26 here I come!! We are making our way up the ladder ladies!!

Heather89 - I feel like that sometimes , I can feel my baby pushing on my pubic bone

Mandy86 **pink** - 3 days ago
Gosh I have had a horrible day , I get woke up the drama I have no clue about or what was even going on. Long story short I confronted the girl about it cause she was bringing my name into something I had nothing to do with and she had the nerve to tell me she hopes I lose my baby , omg it upset me so bad and I'm still upset, how could anyone ever tell someone something like that , I don't care how much I didn't like somebody I could never tell them something like. That is like th most hateful thing ever. Sorry I had to vent about this cause I was beside myself that she would say something like that

OMG...Anyone else having TONS of pressure below and felling like their babies are going to kick themselves right out of there. I swear I literally have to sit down cause I'm afraid that he will fall out ( I know not possible..Not It hurts)

MOBUY- LOL, I'm sorry, but I literally lol'd really loud at work! Only because that very thing happened to me just a few weeks ago. Except that I was at work and had to borrow someones coat, cover my butt and go home and change! It was HUGE rip, and I was wearing a thong, so bear skin was showing.. so embarrasing.

mobuy - 3 days ago
So, this morning right before leaving for work I bent over to put my son's shoes on him, and heard the dreaded ripping sound. My poor pants have made it through 2 1/2 pregnancies, but they finally gave up the ghost. RIGHT ACROSS MY BUTT. Not on a seam, but in the place that says, 'You have gained too much weight. Please reconsider your clothing size.' Glad it didn't happen at work -- I teach middle school!

Had a check up today and everything was great! I've gained 7 pounds so far (yay!) Heard the heartbeat on doopler for the first time - 150 and I'm scheduled for an ultrasound at 28 weeks to see the growth development, I guess this is routine at my doctors office, I didn't have this with my DD. I'm probably the only one here who doesn't want to have an ultrasound, since we're not finding out the sex haha Glucose test next week, then I'm scheduled out to 32 weeks where I will start having my twice a week stress tests and fluid levels checked at the hospital (for my hypertension). So close to being done! yes!

juliasmommy*blue* - 3 days ago
Mandy - Better to be safe than sorry. It's nice to get in there and find out everything is fine! Hope there are no more scares in your future!

Mandy86 **pink** - 4 days ago
Didn't start week 25 off very good. Spent last night in labor & delivery cause I was having sharp pains in my belly. The said I was a little dehydrated and gave me fluids and sent me home. Said being dehydrated can cause that. Spent tonight in labor & delivery cause I was having sharp stabbing pains in my vagina , they checked me said my cervix was still closed. Said I have a uti , fun fun , this thing hurts like heck. Gave me some meds , hopefully it will get better soon. But on the good note my baby girl is doing good. It was kinda nice being hooked up to the monitor got to listen to her heartbeat for a fews hours.

Thanks Amanda...I had previa with my first as well and had like 10 ultrasounds! Not this time...but I have an appointment next Friday so I guess I will just as then...thanks again:)

amandaandandy - 4 days ago
morrisoncara- I'm not sure where you are from but I can share my experience with this- I was only supposed to receive 2 ultrasounds unless there was an issue- at my 2nd visit they discovered plasenta previa so now I am booked in for extra scans- If I didn't have this condition I would have only received 2 scans unless something unexpected occured

plumeria2462 - 4 days ago
Sorry to hear that Angela, its gotta be annoying after a while. Chanda I like Osh Kosh too but my daughter has kinda of big head for head age so shirts don't fit her that well, love thier jeans though. I just got a nice winter coat next year for $18 there. I live next to an outlet mall that has Children's Place, Carter's, and Osh Kosh so I have to really control myself and compare prices. I'll see you ladies in week 26.

I started having Braxton Hicks contractions 2 days ago. They don't hurt but I def don't like them. When my muscles seize up like that, it scares me, and is not confortable at all. Freaky.

chanda210 - 4 days ago
Osh Gosh B'Gosh is another great place to get great quality clothing for cheap prices and they ALWAYS offer coupons. I am a huge Osh Gosh and Children's Place perosn. Great clothes for even greater prices!!You can't beat that!!

plumeria.. I am a HUGE FAN of Childrens place clearance! its the best! that is pretty much all I buy!!! I get everything through their website. awesome deals!!!

morrisoncara - 6 days ago
Hi ladies, just wondering about ultrasounds. With my first I had one every 4 weeks due to placenta previa. I don't have that this time around and have only have 2 ultrasounds but I am wondering if I will have another closer to my due date to check size and placement of my little guy? Do any of you have any ideas on this or is everyone different?? TIA

Lord knew best when he made this baby a boy! At first they told me girl at 18 wks, then at 20 well there it was!!! Good thing cause I saved all my other sons baby clothes,bouncy seat,burp cloths,bath towels,blankets, you name it I kept it. looks like brand new!!! Some of the clothes and stuff was my first son who is almost 7!

woops - 6 days ago
I havent had a baay for 8 years I cant belive how much things have changed clothes wise that is.I am so lucky to live in a town with a 2nd hand baby store all of there things are new or verry gently used I got a pair of sweet pea pajamas carters brand new for 1.99 . Getting baby stuff makes it all seam like its really rite around the corner

plumeria2462 - 6 days ago
So I have been buying boy things here and there for about 2 years. But only if it was when they were on clearance, btw I love Children's Place clearance. Can't beat shirts for 99 cents. So today I finally got out everything and O-M-G! I should have kept better track of what I had. I have 22 newborn outfits! Then I have half a drawers of 0-3m, 3-6m, 6-9m, and 12m. My dh's eyes are going to pop out of his. But in my defense I got the stuff all really cheap. Anyone else absolutely hate the way walmart baby clothes fit and shrink? Thier onesies are like small potatoe sacks with buttons on the bottom.

I haven't been measured yet, when do they start that? how do they measure you?

Sherrika (PINK) - 6 days ago
I'm measuring a week ahead is all, but I get an ultrasound next week and maybe even every 4 weeks because I'm diabetic. I just had on at 22 weeks and she was measuring where she should be. I measured big (belly)last time, but baby was measuring just fine on ultrasound. You'll be fine I'm sure.

kaylamama *BLUE* - 6 days ago
Amandaandandy- I had to quit my ab workouts as well. Just too uncomfortable. I'm even cutting back on cardio as I'm getting some back pain and get tired so often. I do ALOT of stretching & weights, though. I think I've gained about 12lbs so far. MZMOMMY2B- I was measuring 3 weeks ahead at my 24 weeks appointment, so dr did an ultrasound and baby was only measuring about 1 weeks ahead according to u/s measurments. I sure feel like I'm getting big really quickly!

mzmommy2b - 6 days ago
I was measured at my dr appointment today and he said im measuring 27 weeks, anyone else measuring ahead?

42O - 7 days ago
i havw gained 18 pounds and i wish it was all in my belly /: its mostly my butt thighs and belly , my boobs stopped growing around month 5 , blaaaaaaaaggghhhh

plumeria2462 - 8 days ago
Amanda don't feel bad about the workouts, I had to quit everything b/c it makes me cramp :( Just trying not to abuse the extra 500 calories I can eat. This kid is not a salad fan, all he wants is burritos and cottage cheese. I don't think I'm going to stay under the 18 pound mark with this one though, oh well age is cruel that way.

amandaandandy - 8 days ago
I have gained 20 pounds- every last pound is sticking straigh out infront...

MayBaby(Pink) - 8 days ago

amandaandandy - 8 days ago
Well my workouts are changing- No more ab work for me this pregnancy. My abs have separated and its very uncomfortable do exercise such as the plank. I can see the separation during the exercise as well... Looks like weights and cardio from here on in.

I haven't gained any weight, but I am also overweight, so I am expected to gain between 10-15 lbs. Hope everyone is feeling great and enjoying their pregnancies...

montana81 - 10 days ago

jessicaa(BLUE) - 10 days ago
What about when you have bh every 5 minutes laying down and 2-3 sitting up! Errr! And yes, I have been drinking plenty. I am so frustrated. This is exactly what happened before I had my 1st son.

woops - 10 days ago
I have noticed my lady parts have been swolen like you say and I asked my doc he says its all the extra blood in the system makea the soft tissue swell

plumeria2462 - 10 days ago
Hello ladies I haven't had bh yet but I was wonder does anyone elses who-who feel like they have had a lot of sex when they haven't? (sorry tmi) Is it just hormones or should I be concerned?
