My name is Ashley and I am pregnant with my first baby. It was a complete shocker at first because this wasn't planned as I was on the pill, but now I would like to consider this a blessing. My boyfriend was a little shocked at first but now we are both excited. My parents were upset at first but excited to be grand parents again! This will be their third grandchild and his parent's first. So far my pregnancy has been fairly easy no morning sickness and barely tired!! I really have been counting my blessings!!

January 30th-Wel I went to the doctor today and it was the first time my boyfriend came with. I felt so bad for the guy he looked white like a ghost!! The doctor said everything was running along smoothly. I have only gained 6 lbs!! I thought I would have gained much more but I am very happy with that number. We go for an ultrasound on Feb 6th to find out what the little darling is! Yikes! I am so excited! I also got to hear the heartbeat today which was music to any mothers ears! For some reason I just feel so much better when I hear the heartbeat!

February 6, 2008-Well we went for the big Ultrasound. It was the first one I ever had! I am so suprised I didnt cry! We found out the little darling is a GIRL!!! She was quite the stinker though! She was curled in a ball, had her legs crossed and had her hand between her legs! Finally she moved and we got to see! She looked so beautiful!! Her heart rate was 146 and she weighed a whopping 12 oz! I am so proud of her. My mom and boyfriend came with thank goodness! Justin and I have decided on the name Teegan Grace. I really love the name Grace and would love to have a little Gracie running around but I will settle with Grace for a middle name. I go back to the doctor on the 27th!

2-20-08So Friday is my birthday..the big 2-1 whoot whoot. Anyways I dont know if i am just being hormonal or what but on Friday I had planned my family and a few friends to go eat at a restaurant where your meal is free on your birthday. Anyways my best friend cant go because she planned a shopping trip for that weekend because she figured I cant go out and drink so she would do somethine else. Who cares if I cant drink. I still feel I am a fun girl without the booze. And then I was talking with my mother and she said she can `t come because she does foster care and has extra kids. Wow imagine that! It wouldnt be the first time my mother hasnt been able to make it to family functions because of kids. I mean I know what she is doing is for a good cause but sometimes it would just be nice to have my mom to myself. Selfish I know but since I have been pregnant we have become ALOT closer! My boyfriend doesnt want to come because he would rather go to the bar with his friends (he is 23). I would rather just forget its my birthday! I dont know if I am just being very hormonal right or what? I hope I start to get better an better `tude by the time the big bad b-day comes!

Oh ya and I just went to High School Musical on Ice....I really miss my skating body...but I know this little girl is totally worth it in the end!

April 2nd-Just went to my dr appointment today. I gained 10 lbs in 1 month! YIKES! My total weight gain so far has only been about 22 lbs but I just wish it would have been a tad more even throughout. Everything looked well! Heartbeat sounded amazing! I have am going to have another ultrasound in about a month and I can't wait to see my little girl! I had my glucose test today so I am hoping everything turns out well. I have been on a house hunt but have had no so luck with finding 'the' house. I feel like I have plenty of time but my how these 28 weeks has flown by!! Hopefully I will find something soon!

OH my! Its been quite awhile since i have updated on here! Well where to begin? I went to the doctor last week and I have gained 10 lbs in 1 month. That means my total weight gain is 22 lbs which isnt bad but it was just shocking that 10 lbs in 1 month! Holy! Well my boyfriend decided that we are better off just as friends, and of course being hormonal i have been having a really hard time with it. Lately we havent really been getting along but he works 8-4:30ish and I work 12:30-9pm and it just was getting to be a hassle because we would never communicate because either he was tired or I was tired. Well so he called and told me he thinks we are just better off as friends and I was kind of in shock, I knew that we kind of needed some time apart between us both being stubborn and me being hormonal, but this was something I wasnt ready for. I told him how I didnt feel he needed to spend $80 at the bar every Friday night and he said it was his money not mine but i just gently reminded him that $80 is 4 days of daycare here. And he has been spending alot of time and money there. I guess I dont care about me, I just care about our baby. He tells me he is excited to be a dad but everytime i show him something that i have boughten he just rolls his eyes and says a smart ass comment. Well i just quit fighting because i dont want to be with somebody who doesnt want to be with me. I finally poured my heart out to him saying how since I was 14 ( you know how it is ladies when you are 14 and the first guy that says your cute! your totally in love with...) (plus we have been dating on and off for 7 years. We stopped dating when he went to college and then when i did) I had dreamed of having a family with him and be married and spend my life with him. And now being pregnant, I thought this was kind of a sign from God. Well the only thing he told me was that dreams dont come true! I was crushed. I didnt go to work on Wednesday because I was to busy having an emotional breakdown and there was no way I could have met with my clients and tried to help them improve their lives. He came to get his stuff and I put the ring he gave me (the June birthstone) in a bag. He said for me to keep it but I honestly cant because everytime I look at I start to cry. He said that it looks good on my finger and its mine. Well I told him it was mine but no longer is mine. I told him he can give it to our daughter (if he doesnt lose it) when she is old enough. I also bought a house today by myself. It was something we were supposed to go together but not anymore. Its just a perfect starter home for me and my daughter. Thats the one good thing that has happened. Well that and feeling my daughter move all the time!

Last friday I went to the dr and they weighed me in at 158. So far that is a total weight gain of 28lbs. Not to bad I feel. I asked my doctor about having a cough in the morning and at night. He told me that I get acid reflux in my sleep and need to start taking Prilosec. Other than that he told me everything was going wonderful and so far he had no concerns. I didnt really have any concerns. I start going back to the dr every two weeks now. I just got a call from my bank on my house. The owners have to fix the paint on the exterior and add shingles to part of the house and something with the basement. I hope they get it done by the original closing date of May 15th! I have recruited my friends to help me paint since I can't do that and I have this schedule of when things need to be done. I would like to get Teegan's room done and everything set up. My nesting is starting to kick in and I think my dad is tired of me overcleaning his house. I would like to use nesting as an advantage to get my new house ready!!

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

julugo - Sunday, 29 June
i have 6 kids and with 3 of them i had baby 7 days after losen plug,so maybe you'll have her with in a week ............good luck


addysmommy - Saturday, 28 June
Hey girl, I will tell you that the measurements they do of the baby via u/s are not exact!!! A friend of mine had her baby measure at just over 9 lbs so they scheduled her to be induced 2 days later because they said the baby was too big to be delivered (moms a pretty small girl). The baby ended up being just under 8 1/2 lbs. so its definitely an estimate. Good luck to you!!!


HppyMomToBeRS - Friday, 27 June
Ultrasound can be off up to 2 pounds eithr way. I am only five foot tall and they are telling me my baby is about 9.5 pound give or take a few pounds it just a estimation on there part. so Hopefully they are off on the lower end of the scale for us.


calileo98 - Friday, 27 June
Don't even sweat the ultrasound measurements! They can, and usually are, way off. My midwife said it can even be off a whole pound or more. I was reading recently on either this 40 weeks post, or 39 weeks posts, of a woman who had a scheduled C section because she had two bigger previous babies, one over 8lbs and one over 9lbs, and according to the ultrasounds, this one was thought to be 9lbs or over. Well, turns out the baby wasn't even 7lbs when she was born!!! So much for the accuracy of the ultrasound weight! Good Luck! :)

Rachel918 - Wednesday, 4 June

Rachel918 - Wednesday, 4 June
Good luck with the new house!!!! Thats an amazing accomplishment for someone our age:) You obviously dont need a guy in your life to do so well!!! Good luck and hugs:)

I bought two from Motherhood and I HATE them! I bought two from target and they are pretty okay. The best thing about the target bras is they only cost $12.99! P.S. Walmart has some cotton nursing bras that are okay but they dont make them big enough for me. If you've got a small chest they are worth checking out.


aniyahsmom2008 - Sunday, 1 June
Hey! Read ur comment in 36 weeks,and you should probably try and find The Motherhood Store in your area. They have everything you need, or you could try them online. I also think Walmart sales them.


kara8385 - Wednesday, 28 May
I just read you post on not feeling the BH's and just FYI, I didn't think I was feeling htem either, but when I went to get my cervix checked I was 3cm dialated. I was super surprised becasue I was thinking I was going to be way over due becasue he has not dropped or I wan't feeling anything. I still am not for sure if I feel them or not but don't be discouraged. And about you boss, F--- him!!!! I have been in so much pain with my back and my boss came in my office yesterday and was like, "I saw my cousin this weekend and she is due on the 15th and she is much bigger than you and not having any problems." And she said it as to I don't beleive you are in any kind of pain since you are smaller. WTF!!! This lady has never been preggo so she needs to keep her f-ing mouth shut until she goes through it herself. She was the one who also was asking why I was taking off a week before my due date when I could very well work up until the day I deliver. Ummm... it is called resting whore! So I know what you mean about work people and all that. Anyways, when do you get your cervix checked?


Rachel918 - Wednesday, 28 May
I wouldnt worry about not having cramping or pressure, feel lucky lol I have had them since week 32 and its extremely uncomfortable now, and im on bed rest. ABout your boss, omg I would tell him to F off lol but we all know you cant do that!!! Just ignore it and you know how far along you are and thats all that matters, when you give birth in 4 weeks he will realize you were right where you are supposed to be and honestly its none of his business!


LAURASUE - Wednesday, 28 May

kandyseandbrandon - Friday, 9 May
More than welcome.I agree with you by taking it day by day and doing what you feels is right for you and your child. It's never an easy thing but I hope that all goes well for you.


kandyseandbrandon - Thursday, 8 May
Do what's right for your baby. My mother had 4 of us and was only married to my father. My brothers both got her last name and my sister got her father's last name. The same thing happened w/ my cousins, they gave their babies their last name (since they weren't married or in a committed relationship with the father). Think hard about it cause and if he gets made that you give the baby your name, he's gonna have to get over it. You are going to make your own decision but I think it's best to be civil with him but don't put yourself in a situation where you end up feeling used or dumb in the end.
