First of all, congrats to everyone expecting! This is my 3rd pregnancy and my 1st with my partner( I have two sons from previous relationships) we are really happy despite the fact that it wasn't planned and everyone is really happy for us. Baby Unborn Blessings upon you, my baby unborn Safely inside me, asleep and so warm, Sleep must come easy to those who are unborn, As the maker so silently fashions your form. Sleep, while you can, so watery and warm, For outside this world is a terrible storm, Soon you'll discover the taste of your tears, So sleep now my loved one, my Baby, my Dear. I Am Not Alone Running errands and talking on the phone, I am pleasantly reminded that I am not alone. Little tiny hands a precious rounded knee pushing and twisting that no one can see. Oh sweet child kicking up your heels, it is our little secret that only I can feel. I look forward to your birth, when I can kiss your skin, but for now I will just smile, As I feel you play within.
Who will you look like, How will you be? Will you look like Daddy or me? Ten little fingers and ten little toes, A wrinkled up forehead and a cute button nose. You will be crying with that first cold touch, And so will I because I love you so much.
8 weeks So
far i'm 2 months gone and its slowly killing me lol, I spend my days
chasing around after my 2yr old which isn't helpful when I've had next
to no sleep! Everytime I move I can feel the sick rising inside of my
chest making it difficult to sleep. I
can't wait to pass the 3 month stage, I'm hoping the sickness will stop
(I never had any sickness with my first two children!) and I can't get
to the blooming stage instead of getting loads of spots and hair
getting greasy hours after washing it! 10 weeks Well
I'm now 10+2 and still feeling tired and sick and seem to have
developed a craving for tinned peaches! My appetite seems to have
disappeared though!! One minute I'll be starving hungry and I'll make
myself something to eat but after a few mouthfuls, I'm bloated! I can
safely say that its driving me insane and I can't wait to finish a meal
in full again (I'm crap at doing small portions so i seem to be wasting
lots of food!) I can't wait to have my first scan (fri 18th july)
had midwife app today but she said it was too early to listen to
heartbeat(SUCKS) Hoping I'll be able to get a decents night sleep
soon cos I'm sick to death of tossing and turning every night and not
being able to get to sleep(my fella's snoring don't help!!!!!!!!!!) 11 weeks I'm sick of feeling sick and tired of being tired but hoping its all gonna come to an end in the next week or two!!! I
feel too ill and tired to do anything then feel really guilty cos i
haven't done anything by the time my fella gets home from a 12hr shift
at work everyday, he says he understands but I can tell he's getting a
bit peed off by it. I feel like I'm getting bigger every day but
can't really tell a difference in my photo's, but its def getting
bigger, tried on my normal jeans the other day and couldn't even do the
zip up! I'm still struggling to sleep at night and seem to keep
getting headaches, this pregnancy is so different from the other two, I
was tired with them but not to this extent and i had no
sickness/headaches/sleepless nights. Anyway, have just realised all I ever do on this bit is moan, hopefully I'll be a bit more cheery soon!!! 12 weeks Phew,
I'm finally at the 12 week mark!!! Well, I'm not feeling so sick
anymore, though certain foods turn my stomach and I'm still struggling
to sleep at night regardless of how tired I am and getting up early in
the morning is a nightmare! Still waiting for that boost of energy you apparently get in the second trimester, I'm sure it will arrive soon. I
was so happy when I had my scan as it was reasuring to know that bubba
was healthy, he/she was kicking around good and proper and was even
waving to us at one point, I just can't wait to meet him/her in person,
though I know I have a long wait, but I also know it is definately
worth the wait!!!! 16 weeks Well...its
been a horrible month since I last wrote at 12 weeks!!! I woke up one
morning feeling really drunk!!! It was horrid, the room kept spinning,
my stomach kept churning and I kept falling over! Turns out I had
something called labyrinthitis(an inner ear infection) but I couldn't
take anything over than anti-sickness tablets and they weren't much
help!!! Then at 13 weeks, I started bleeding...not a little either!
had a scan the next day and thankfully, bubba was ok, I then started
bleeding again at 14 weeks! I've been having excruciating headaches...constantly! and have been suffering but a really bad back...also constantly! I
had my midwife appointment this week and she just didn't seem to have
the time to see me, I was in and out within 5 mins! I was told that my
blood pressure was really low (70/40) but she didn't explain anything
about it so I'm now worried about that! Time really seems to be
dragging too, it feels as if I've been pregnant forever and I feel huge
but I know I still have ages left and that I'm gonna get soooo much
bigger, oh yeah, lets not forget that the sickness is back, I tend to
feel really ill in the evening and I can't be in moving car for more
than a few minutes without feeling like I'm gonna throw up! My first
two pregnancies were so much easier than this, so I'm hoping that I'm
having a girl and its just my body reacting differently, but who
knows...will find out in 4 weeks hopefully! 20 weeks WOW…I’m finally half way there!!!! I can now actually see my belly moving as bubba wriggles around inside me, my OH actually felt him/her move last night for the first time and my 5yr old felt it this morning! I have my scan on Monday 15th and I’m sooooooooooooooooooo excited, can’t wait to see him/her wriggling around inside me again, I just hope he/she co-operates as we really, REALLY wanna find out the sex, for those of you who don’t know…we’re really hoping for pink, so ladies, keep sending pink thoughts my way please. Well I’m STILL suffering from headaches and backaches and I’m still REALLY tired all the time, my OH is a godsend though, he’ll do the kids tea, bath them and put them to bed after doing a 12hr shift at work. I just can’t wait to actually hold bubba in my arms and deeply breath in his/her smell, as I’m sure everyone will agree…there is no better smell than the smell of a new born baby.

missbunny - Friday, 12 September *pink baby dust* ... I hope you get your baby girl!!! Let us know how it goes! *squidge* x
***AMANDABJH - Friday, 12 September Sharp pain, I would call the Dr, but if its pressure, that is making it very well know to you, its just baby, and he/she thinks they can move just about anywhere in that belly room of theirs. LOL, see if maybe just pushing on your belly will make them move over a bit, just enough to take off the pressure. Hope that helps.
AshleyBeth - Friday, 12 September I read your post about sex. I was sort of a nympho to begin with and we had sex every night and every morning. Even during my first trimester when I was really sick we kept it up. Now, it seems like my little nymphoness has turned crazy. I want sex all the time like you. My boyfriend will be sleeping and I wake him up for it. I sort of wish it would ease up a bit... I think I'm wearing him out :)

kv1027 - Friday, 5 September I teach fourth and fifth grade band- not much peace there! The poor baby is going to go nuts! I don't know what I'm having yet, but I will find out on Monday, as long as it cooperates! I can not wait!
mummyinjanuary - Thursday, 4 September Yep, I seem to be fond of the moaning too and up until yesterday, have had a rotten sore back for about 3 weeks. Actually, I think I might have stopped moaning too yesterday!!! Last day or 2 I feel chirpier and healthier but still got the heartburn! I think that has parked up long term and i eat Gavison tablets like sweeties (which I am also eating far too many of!) You had any cravings yet> I dunno when they're meant to start! I do crave things but only for 2 or 3 days then it's something else. Loving full fat philidelphia right now..mmmmm sooooo good! Hope you're well H xx
kv1027 - Thursday, 4 September You deserve to moan! You shouldn't be suffering so much anymore! I still get very tired and a little dizzy, and my stomach is a mess from my iron pills, but mostly I feel great. School started yesterday (I'm a teacher) and I teach private lessons after school as well. I'm not sure how I'm going to do energy-wise, but we need the money so I need to give it a try! Have you found out if you are having a boy or a girl?
hebare01 - Wednesday, 3 September I am due 6 days before my 31st - so we shall see if he/she comes early or later...I have a feeling my b-day will always and forever be double special :) Good luck and congrats on your bundle of joy
missbunny - Tuesday, 2 September Oh I hope you get a little girl!! This pregnancy is totally different from my first one too...and they're guessing boy (I found out for sure on the 16th!) ... I haven't had any sickness or really any terrible symptoms at all. My pregnancy with my daughter was *terrible* I just wanted couldn't wait for it to be over!!!

kaddy89 - Sunday, 31 August i see your from the uk too its 3.40am now and i cnt sleep ....and i have to get up in less than 2 hours to take a road trip! :(
missbunny - Friday, 29 August Wow that's weird.... maybe something to do with the placanta?? My doctors worried I may develop placenta previa and that's one of the symptoms I guess. Oh well, as long as you two are doing ok now! This is my seconds pregnancy...but my little girl is four now so I sort of feel like I'm doing it all over again! I have more worries than before with this one though because everything seems so different to the last one. Is this your first baby?? Are you planning on find out if it's a boy or a girl? I find out on sept 16th....I can hardly wait!! I'm hoping for another girl because I don't know if I'd know what to do with a boy lol
missbunny - Friday, 29 August Hey! I remember you from ages ago when you posted in like week 11? 12? that you were bleeding...I couldn't remember your name though so I didn't know what happened! (yeah sorry you don't know who I am coz I didn't post back then lol) Anyway I'm so glad to see everything seems to be going ok so far though. Did you ever find out what caused the bleeding??
areeba786 - Thursday, 28 August Congratulations on yoru pregnancy. I hope everything is going well. Your little boys are adorable! Hope you're having a baby girl like you want. I'm hoping for a baby boy but as long as the baby is healthy I'll be happy.
