Hi,

I am 30 years old, and my husband and I are expecting our first child. We found out when I was about 5 weeks pregnant that we were going to be first time parents. It was definitely a shock as we were not trying. In fact, I was on birth control - obviously not taking it all that responsibly. We have pinned the time of conception down to one of a couple of fun nights during our vacation in Key West in June. However, there was never a shred of doubt or dissapointment - we immeditaley considered it something that was meant to be and a miracle. We found out around 17 weeks that we are having a little boy. It's so exciting, but also scary to think that now you have this entirely new life to be completely and solely responsilble for. My husband is and has been absolutely wonderful, and supportive. I love him so much and couldn't imagine going through this experience with anyone else. I know he is going to be an awesome father. He is always telling me that I look beautiful even though I KNOW he has to be fibbing a bit - 20+ lbs. later and all the complaints can't possibly make me beautiful. I am constantly thinking about how different life is going to be, and the love that we are going to have for this child - it will immeasurable. I already love him so much without having yet met him. I wonder will he have my husband's blue eyes and my height (that certainly would be a shame since I am only 5'4" and my husband is 6'4"). : ) I must admit though, I get scared and wonder if my relationship with my husband is going to change. I truly believe it will get stronger, but it's just that one more thing I think about somewhat often. I also hope I'll be a great mom, and that our son will be happy and healthy. Our families are great, and SO excited. It's my in-laws first grandchild and my parents 7th grandchild, so it's really an exciting time for all. My baby shower is coming soon, and I am so ridiculously excited about getting things to put the nursery together.

i am sorry but i dont feel like i tried to make anyone feel lesser about themselves. I simply made an opinion and i am still with that opinion. I respect urs and really respect mine sweetie. U dont even know my story. OK my friend was induced bcus she wanted to be and i think that wrong. Here i am with GD and not bn induced. ISnt GD a medical reason? yea well i didnt mean to offend anyone and if ur bn induced for medical reasons such as GD then more power to ya. I wouldnt want to have a 10 lb baby! So i stated my opinion i think its very rude for u 2 degrade mine. SO childish and ur 30? or 3?

Hi There. I have seen your page before. I am disappointed that all of our messages a while ago were deleted somehow by the admins. It makes it hard to keep in contact with people you were talking to. Anyway, I noticed that you said your baby is transverse. My little girl is too. She has been this way pretty much all along. She likes it like this. I feel a lot of movement on each side of my uterus. She is making me very sore from kicking me in the groin. How about you? My Dr. said the same thing. right now he is not concerned, but if baby won't turn, we'll have to opt for a C-section. Kinda scary. I wonder why our babies like it sideways? Must be comfie in there for them. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

oh i use to have a rash bad when i was like 18 weeks! my arms and my legs! and my feet. it was pretty much bc of my hormones. my doc said bc my body temp has changed from all the hormones. i usually just had a fan blowing on me and put some benadryl cream on. i also had a rash at 8 or 9 weeks prego but i think it was something i ate. the rash could be from your body heat. but everyone is diffrent : )

Hi there, i hope your rash is doing better but in case its not... I have probably one of the worst cases of rashes that my doctor has seen in a while. Ask your doctor about a cream called Betamethasone Valerate. Works MIRACLES. It will take away the marks and even the redness in just a couple of days. Good Luck and lots of luck with BABY!!!

I have the rash. I took benadryl every 4-6hrs in the beginning. Now about every 6hrs when needed, the beginning is the worst of it. Some women develop it and it goes away after a few weeks, but for most its there until a few weeks after delivery. Check with your doc, but the most common pregnancy rash, especially if you are having a boy, is called PUPP. Google it. The benadryl won't hurt the baby at all I actually got so itchy I went on steroids. I am a mother/baby nurse, so I know a little about all this, and I also understand the guilt you feel with taking extra medication. It will be ok. Benadryl is more a concern when the baby is born for your milk production, it can dry you up but only if you are taking it in excess. The steroid cream really helps and so does Caladryl cream. I hope this helps! Also, as far as the breast feeding thing goes..don't stress about it. If you decide to do it do it, if not no big deal. Formulas now are just as good. I have found that mom's who aren't really into breastfeeding and try it stress out and the babies can sense that. Just go with whatever you feel is right! Good luck with the rash...I totally understand how miserable it can get! Hope this helps and that I didn't come across to know-it-all! Like I said earlier, talk to your doc about it being PUPP. There are alot of other pregnancy rashes out there, but PUPP is the most common. It is not harmful to the baby at all, so don't worry about that...just makes it a little more uncomfortable for you!

In the beggining of my prenancy i had a itchy red rash on my tummy that the doc says usually comes at the end of the prenancy but everything was normal but i had it for 3 months becuase i was scared to use anything even though doc told me it was ok. so finnaly i used benadryl ointment and it went away

I'm going to be breastfeeding but I think people should do what they are most comfortable with and there's nothing wrong if you decide it's not for you so don't let people make you feel bad about it. Everyone seems to have an opinion on everything to do with pregnancy!

Don't feel guilty about not wanting to breastfeed. It is a personal decision. This is my 4th pregnancy and I did not breastfeed my first 3 and they are all very healthy children. In fact they actually weren't as sick as some babies that I know were breast feed. I am going to try to breastfeed for a short time with this lil guy (I kind of like the thought of losing the weight quicker and wanted to check it out :)). Do what YOU feel is best for you and your baby! Good luck!

Breastfeeding is a wonderful experience, but also a personal one...You should NEVER feel guilty for making the right decision that fits your life, I know that people push others hard because they think thier opinion is what's important...I breast fed both my kids and plan on this one...I admit it's a wonderful bonding experience but I didn't do it for very long...6 months with both..and I bottle fed on and off during the breast feeding and I got grief from family about that..you can't satisfy everyone, so don't even try...I gave my friend some advice with her first baby and it goes like this ''get as much sleep now because you'll never sleep again and don't take advice from anyone, because mommy knows best'' and that's true, even with your first.. your the mommy...it's your body...you do what's right for you and don't let others tell you any different!! Good Luck!
