08-7-2009 - random questions..kinda long sorry.

My mood while writing this blog:
awake

alright guys, this is kind of a long one..sorry. i didnt mean for it to be this long, i just got carried away lol.

ugh im so annoyed with my fiance right now... he got home early from work tonight which means my computer time is limited... and hes talking to his friend on the phone that i cant stand... john changes around him...and hes an asshole. anyways thoughh....

my first ultrasound is in 5 dayss!!! im so excited/scared... ive been starting to feel alot less sick now... thank godd... i should be around 9 weeks...but my doctor told me i dont feel like im that far along...so i guess we'll find out soon. but anyways, my doc told me that the flinstones vitamins were fine to take.. 2 a day... i cant remember if i told you guys that or not lol.
so ive been having some weird things happen to mee... and i wanted to ask you guys if they were normal..if anyone else gets these symptoms? soo.. constipation. sorry if this is a little too much info for you guys, but omg... i cant "go number 2" (for a lack of better words) for the life of me!!! i can only go like every 4 days which is sooo weird for me and when i finally do go, its hard as a rock and hurts so bad.. ugh gross..i dont even want to post that for the world to see, but its the truth!! is that normal!!!?? when will that go away!? and what can i do to stop it!!?? and for peeing, thats a completly different story. i pee like every hour. and lately ive had this really bad bladder infection... and it almost makes me not want to drink something cuz right after i do, it seems like 1 minute later im peeing it out...painfully. those damn bladder infections. see, i have a tilted uterus so i used to get them often when i wasnt preg too..
speaking of not wanting to drink things though, i know im supposed to drink alot of water, but for the past few days, ive been drinking only milk and juice... heres the reason...im not sure if this is a side effect of pregnancy or maybe from having a miscarrige last summer, but im sooo cautious about what i eat and drink. and i read somewhere that bottled water is a bad idea because when it gets warm, the inside of the bottle chips or w/e and puts bad chemicals into the water..then you drink it. normally, i wouldnt care... but now that im preg im like this HUGE germ-a-fobe....like to the point where im annoying myself. and its impossible for the bottled water to constantly stay cold, when it was in the truck getting shipped to the stores, it heated up in the back of the truck...no doubt. so i havent been drinking water...someone told me to buy glassed water? WTF? where the hell do i buy water in a glass!!??
and food wise... im very cautious about that too... i used to think subs were terrific... healty and all... then i found out its not safe to eat deli meat... it has some kind of bacteria that starts with a "T".... i can only eat deli meat if i heat it till steaming...wtf? i dont want to eat a hot deli sanwhich....yuck!!! so now my food is more limited too ugh.
and the stretch marks... i dont have any yet but i know theyre comming soon... i just bought this 10 dollar lotion... called palmers cocoa butter tummy cream for stretch marks. i used it about an hour ago now for the first time...and my skin is so oily and gross! it feels discusting!!! its like...not drying!!!! now i feel all greasy and want to shower... is that how all stretch mark lotions are?? or maybe i just bought the wrong kind? someone told me cocoa butter was the best way to go... but theres noooo wayyyy i can use this shIt twice a day...no way in hell...it makes me feel like a sticky scumball.
umm.. im trying to think of some of my other odd symptoms... i got all the normals....my boobs are starting to hurt...my fiance told me theyre getting bigger already? possible?? clothes arent fitting as well anymore.. theyre a lil tight now..i still get tired alot..i get out of breath easy..i think im starting to get mood swings...today at work i kinda freaked out about nothing and i realized it right away afterwards and apologized like 10million times lol. i KNEW they were joking...but like...idk i just totally freaked out on them.. and earlier today i cried over something SO stupid!!! im not telling what...lol...but take my word for it, it was dumb.
OHH i almost forgot something i was going to ask you guys about.... something im also soooo worried about.. i shouldnt be worried till the end of my pregnancy, but for some reason its worrying me now... when i sleep..i sleep through EVERYTHING...no lie.. we have friends stay the night.. theyre partying, music blasting and ill lay down just to relax..not even intending on sleeping and ill fall aslepp right there...lights on music blasting people sitting on me (thats what they told me) and i dont wake up for anything. this morning, john said someone was ringing the doorbell and pounding on the door madd loud... i didnt hear a thing. i have to set 2 alarm clocks and make sure my phone vibrates and is underneath my pillow and i still barely wake up!!! so let me get to the point, im the heaviest sleeper you will ever imaginee.... so how will i ever wake up to me baby crying at night!?!?

i dont knoww.... but this blog is getting wayy too long.. so i guess ill let you guys go... just some random questions for you all... i really appreciate everyone who responds to my blogs... i try to take everyones advice all the time, and if it works, i usually give you feedback lol. so pleasee let me know what you think of my questions in this blogg!!!!

thanks guys, you all are amazing :)

Yay Flinstone Vitamans lol two a day thats what i did!! I think all your smart for taking all those precautions..you can never bee to careful and i have heard that about deli meat and water...but i still ate deli turkey and drank bottled water and nothing was wrong...but do what you feel is right and makes you comfortable. Usually miscarrages are not from your wrong doing and they just happen naturally because the pregnancy wasent going to be sucessfull. Dont balme yourself!! Just by this blog i KNOW your doing a great job!!!

You sound JUST LIKE ME when I was pregnant ~ LOL :) I think you're thinking of listeria with the lunch meat. I avoided it my entire pregnancy and early in nursing. Believe me, I became good friends with veggie subs, and sometimes, I even prefer them now. I never heard of the bottled water issue. I can only tell you that throughout my pregnancy, I drank a gallon of water per day out of plastic bottles, and (thank God) Eric seems very healthy and happy :) Regarding the possible bladder infection ~ PLEASE get it checked and treated at any expense! I had a very bad infection that I didn't even know I had, and it could have (God forbid) cost me my son if it hadn't been found. It is URGENT in pregnancy to get rid of those infections immediately. They can travel up and infect your waters, thereby potentially infecting your LO and/or causing early labor. In terms of stretch marks, I never had one visible stretch mark until my very last month of pregnancy, and they are beautiful marks that represent the journey that you and your little one are about to embark on together ~ don't be ashamed of them, embrace them! :) Besides, if they really get to you that much, they fade fast. My LO is just eight months, and my stretch marks are hardly visible anymore. Emotions are going to run high all the way throughout your pregnancy, and you will be giving up a lot of things (gladly, I know), and there will probably be times when, like me, you are just so overcome with worry that you fear for making your baby stressed! But I learned a very important lesson when Eric was born....once Eric was born, the pregnancy was over for good. Sounds obvious, I know, but I had a moment just before Eric was born when I just held my belly and tried to make an imprint in my brain of that awesome feeling. Pregnancy, in the scheme of things, is a very amazing....and very short....time in your life. If you can, try to remember to enjoy every single moment of it :) You....and the most precious cargo you will ever carry....will be fine, and at the end of the next seven months or so, you will find yourself in a hospital bed, holding your LO and staring at him/her in amazement, shocked that your body could help to make and carry such a beautiful and perfect little blessing :)

Hey girl. U will get constipated, but try to drink plenty of water also dring some prune juice. About a cup every other day or so. it should help u stay reg. Also cocoa butter is the best thing for stretch marks. But u can use the reg lotion. It doesnt have to be the 1 specifically 4 stretch marks. I use it and it doesnt feel greasy 4 long. But it keeps you moisturized so your stretch marks wont be that bad.

Hey girl! Be careful how many flinstone vitamins u take a day... u have to be careful of the amount of vitamin A ur getting as it can harm the fetus. I take them too but i can on;y take 1 a day because of the amount of Vitamin A in mine. Check the label and then surf the internet to see what the recommended dose of Vitamin A is for pregnant women. Constipation is normal in pregnancy because our digestive tract slows down so the baby can absorb more nutrients from out diet. There are some medications u can take that won't be harmful to the baby or u. Lactulose is one....that is the one i take, maybe u should ask ur docotor about it. U should be glad u don't live out on island in the caribbean...everything we eat has to come from another country and shipped over to us...we don't have a choice but to eat/drink food thats been on a hot truck and shipped on a hot boat...for God knows how many days. Plus i live in the friggen caribbean where it is always damn hot and humid. lol. i feel bad for u when it comes to the bladder infections though...i can't imagine peeing as often as i do now and going through the pain that the infections cause...damn. ur a superwoman. maybe u should try using some aveeno lotions...they aren't greasy at all and they make ur skin nice and soft...they also have some "in shower" oild that u put on after u shower and then rinse off again...they really help. i have had stretch marks since i was like 13 and i only weigh 105 but i have a really small frame...i got um on my hips and my boobs so...i'm not reallcy concerned about getting anymore. Don't worry about the mood swings...i cry allllllllllll the time over little things. almost all the birth stories on this site make me cry lol. it gets frustrating sometimes. When ur baby comes i'm sure u will be able to wake up...i think it comes with the package...ur hormones will probably help u out tons nto to mention if u breastfeed ur breast will go off when ur baby cries so don't sweat it for now...u can cross that bridge when u get there.
Yea i've written u a long ass comment but i hope it helps :D

oh sweeite....your only in week 9 and having these problems your going to have a long pregnancy :) try to relax and enjoy it though!! But I know what you mean I was the same way. I never knew that deli meat is not good for you when your pregnant, unitl I got really sick after eating a sub sandwich. The things people DONT tell you when you get pregnant huh?! and to help with the constipation, sometimes bananas can help with that! but everything else is just the joy of pregnancy :)

Oh hunny yr so funny n cute!!!! i had the constipation reeeeaaallll bad im not jokin i used to cry if it continues ask your doctor for a medicine that will help you out, its fine to take wen pregnant but be warned it makes u fart loads hahaha!!

I was the same with the food i checked everything i actually became obsessed, but do not deprive yrself of things you like, again ask your doctor on leaflets for good and bad foods and what you can and cant have.
im not sure about the water iv never heard that b4 so wont comment,
As for your moods as its still so early this is perfectly normal, it does get better honest i was a nightmare at first.
Do not worry about waking up to yr baby crying trust me you will hear him/her when they r in yr room lol

In general tho i would just say relax and enjoy this is the most precious/best exp you will ever go thru i miss it so much !!

Good Luck xx
