Im Pregnant!!!
Okay, so I am about two months pregnant. I have my first sonogram on Wednesday October 10th. Very excited to see what they say, find out exactly how far a long I am. I hope I get pretty big and show a lot, I don't like the little bellies. I don't know what to say so I guess I'll write more later.

I am sooo excited about my appt tomorrow. I get to see my baby! I read that it is about the size of an olive now (juding from how far along I think I am) and that is just werid. Apparently there are little nubs for arms and legs and from pictures the baby looks like an alien! I hope it looks okay tomorow. One thing I would like help on....I haven't told my rents! I am only 19 (will be 20 when the baby comes) I moved out when I was 16 and have been with my boyfriend (fiance) for 3 1/2 years now but I am really really scared to tell MY mom and dad. Not to mention my brothers and sisters. I am worried that they will be disapointed in my for getting pregnant so young. Does anyone have an tips?? Help!!!

So I found out I am due May 1st 08. I was actually further along then they thought. I am in my 12th week so I thougt that would be considered 4 months (because 12 weeks is 3 months so going into the 13th should be the 4th month right?) Wrong-o. I don't get it It's all so confusing. I am worrying more and more about dirty diapers and bad smells and dirty baby. My 2 yr old nephew contanstly stinks. He just does not smell good, it's kind of like a combonation of dirty diaper and food on his clothing. Is this normal??? If so I am going to be very upset, I mean I know when my baby comes I am going to have to suck it up and deal with the dirtyness but I really really don't want to. Like my nephew went in the corner of my dinning room squatted down and took a crap in his diaper which was so runny it went all up his back and made my entire apt smell. I was miserable thinking about have to deal with that...is this normal??

I know that it has been forever since I last wrote and I do apologize! I figured I should update everyone...so I told my rents and family about being pregnant and they were 100x more supportive and happy than I thought they were going to be. My mom is already talking about things she can buy for the baby! I am 15 weeks and my belly is starting to poke out! I'm so happy, I can't wait to get big and round! I know now I am like wanting it but I'm sure in a few months I will be like ugh get this baby out of me already! Aww the joys of pregnancy. Lol I know the real joys come from being a mom. Has anyone been able to competely cut out caffine? I am pretty good about it, I don't drink coffee at all and I used to drink several cokes a day..now I am down to one a week! I'm so proud, as far as chocolate goes, I just pretend I don't know that has caffine in it! Lol I am still addicted! Well I better get back to not working! I will write again soon....just 5 more weeks to find out the sex!! That is what I am REALLY excited about!!

Hey ladies! In week 20 now and feeling baby move so much. In case you haven't heard it's a beautiful little boy!! We are soo excited! Thinking of names now, so far we like Tristen and Trenton. I'm sure we'll change our minds only 1000 times before the baby actually gets here though. Any suggestions are welcome! I am loving this month. Getting bigger, not too much so I'm uncomfortable, feeling the baby move alot but not painful, and thinking about my little boy and what he'll be like when he gets here. The only thing that sucks is that I am not out of town away from my hubby. I miss him and this is only the first day we've been apart. The pregnancy has really brought us so much closer. Lloyd, I LOVE YOU! I am soo emotional though. I flew this morning and I was balling for like the whole 2 1/2 hours when we first got to the airport until we lifted off. Not wanting to leave Lloyd and flight anxiety - the whole 9 yards. But I'm here with family now so hopefully the next week will be good. I'll go now and write more later. Nite ladies.

I BF also, and I had introduced solids at 4 1/2 months, my son hates it! He only wants his boobie. That was my fear also that he wouldn't want me anymore, well I am all he wants. even if you son loves food he will still need a "drink" when he is done eating so instead of giving him a bottle you just give him your breast. Good Luck! If you have any other questions feel free to ask!!

Hi there,
I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.
We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.
If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.
You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com

My son is 15 weeks old and I just got his yesterday in the mail! I went through the whole applying in the hospital spill, then after 2 months I contacted their vital records department, and they weren't able to tell me anything more than just go to my local social security office and re-apply. I went there and after waiting another month I found out I never got one becaue they misspelled my street name!!!
I was sooo infuriated when I had to go back; then they finally expedited one to me in 2 weeks. Go to www.ssa.gov and search for your local office. I'm not sure about your area, but here in GA it gets crowded fast, so I would go as early as you can so that you can be in and out. You can call first if you want to, but they will tell you absolutley nothing over the phone. Everything has to be done in person, and when you inquire about it, make sure you ask if a number had been issued and it had been sent out (they can tell) so that someone isn't walking around assuming your childs identity. GOOD LUCK!! I know how frustrating it is!! azmommytobe - Tuesday, 5 August
Call the hospital where you delivered and talk to the vital records department
njdevchick - Tuesday, 5 August
I would also find out if one was issued and lost in the mail, if it was I would request a new number, someone could be using his if it was stolen in the mail or something of that nature. You shouldn't have to fill out for one, it should be done automatically when you fill out the information for your birth certificate.
njdevchick - Tuesday, 5 August
Your county should have a social security administration office that you can call and inquire about SS number and card. Three months is a LONG time to have not gotten one, I had my sons in 10 days, so it was super quick.
brandi0881 - Tuesday, 5 August
You haven't received one at all? What about the birth certificate? You can do a search for social security administration

If you really have to pump, limit anount and pump on very low setting. Shields work great for nursing.
berbaby3 - Thursday, 17 July
Hi you can try some nibble cream, you can get it at wal-mart it's wonderful stuff, if you need the name post me back and I will find the tube. Sounds like a lot of work with pumping!!! I have breasrfeed 3 babys and when it's not working, then it's not working. Dont let anyone make you feel bad about stoping if that what you want to do. Go get the cream, i tell you they will feel great in a day. Hot baths and press the milk out will help with problems with not pumping/ feeding. Good luckxoxox
JulieDueAgain! - Wednesday, 16 July
change your sheild size.. if you have a medela go buy the large or extra large.. it wont ruber the sore area.. I have three sizes and I pump 100% so I change them out.. that shoudl help you out a lot.. get the XL and XXL.. that should give your nipples a break! babiesrus..
starby - Wednesday, 16 July
Yeah thats the same pump I use though I went up a size bigger on the shield. From what I understand, you just want to make sure your nipple is in the very center of the flange, your nipple shouldnt touch any part of the plastic. My blisters have gone away for the most part, that lansinoh cream really really helped. They still hurt every once in awhile but not nearly as bad as last week when they were bleeding :( Take care!
starby - Wednesday, 16 July
Xpecting1-I so know your pain! I have to exclusively pump, my daughter is just over 2 months and over that time I have almost thrown in the towel so many times! In fact, I keep suggesting that they add an "Exclusively Pumping" section on the website because I think we need lots of encouragement and support :) So, I've had lots of trouble and have had to do lots of research, I've talked to at least half a dozen lactation consultants and read a bunch of articles, etc but mostly I've figured things out by trial and error since everyones solution is to stop pumping which for some of us just isnt an option right?! First off, what type of pump are you using? That can make a huge difference and you want to make sure that the shield/flange fits your breast correctly. About two weeks ago, I had lots of blistereing and bleeding around my nipple, it looked like a cut like you described...It was reccommended to me to apply Lansinoh cream before each pumping, it really made a difference! Its about 9 bucks for the tube but totally worth it. The other thing that aids in some relief are these gel pads called "Soothies" I could only find them at Walgreens. You just put them in your bra after you pump and they just kind of cool things off, you just have to remember to wash your breast off right before you pump. I hope things get better for you, I'm headed back to work in a few weeks and I'm not looking forward to pumping while I'm there, I know I'm going to have to switch my schedule up because right now I pump every 3 hours and I wont be able to at work :( Wow, sorry I just wrote a novel, any other q's, I'd be happy to try and help! Good Luck!!!

My daughter is a slow nurser also and a frequent one at every 1-2 hours (except at night, she is a good sleeper). Many lactation consultants will tell you this is perfectly normal. Best advice is to do breast compressions when she stops swallowing and is "nibbling" once these do not prompt her to swallow again, move her to the other side. Sometimes in the evenings she would nurse for 1.5 hrs, but I was rewarded with a 6.5-7.5 hr stretch of sleep. She is 6 weeks now and this past 4-5 days I have noticed she is nursing 30-45 mins every 2-3 hours now so hang in there, it will get shorter.
