Here I am, 39 and pregnant - again. I suffered a miscarriage in December. This will be my first (and only) child if all goes well. I've had a lot of cramping, which I also had in my last pregnancy and it scares me a lot. After reading this site, though, I don't feel so bad and it is much more common than I thought. I'm hoping and looking forward to a happy, healthy, and successful pregnancy term.

March 30

At the end of week 9. Feeling fine, just kinda tired. I get pains in my lower abdomen. I hope that it's my uterus accomodating a growing baby. My tummy feels slightly hungry/nauseous once in while and that's definitely not normal for me. Still running and doing crunches. My abs hurt like heck when I get up from doing crunches. Weird!

April 7

11 weeks today and have no symptoms aside from starting to get tired again and tender nipples. First appointment is a week from today. I'd like to think I'm lucky and hope my first appointment doesn't prove otherwise.

April 16

Had my first ultrasound on the 14th. Baby was still but there was a heartbeat. Didn't get to hear it. :-( My due date is uncertain as the doctor got two different measurements, but still the end of October.

April 25

Heard the heartbeat today! 162 beats per minute. Music to my ears. Cervix is tightly shut and all signs point to a normal pregnancy. I'm a happy camper!

May 7

Made it through a painful amnio yesterday. Luckily, the pain only lasted two seconds or so when the needle was inserted. After that, it was cake. Heartbeat was 150 beats per minute and he/she was waving at us during the ultrasound. Feeling fine. No movement yet. Still tired, but making it a point to continue exercising and building the best baby I possibly can.

May 16

Got my amnio results today. We're having a very healthy baby boy. Not the pink I was hoping for, but I love him nonetheless. I am thrilled to be a mother!

June 4

Had my 20 week ultrasound today. It was great to see him, weighing a whopping 12 ounces! 130 heart beats per minute. He didn't move much, despite all the prodding the technician did. Pregnancy is going great, even though I haven't felt him move yet. I long for that day....

June 6

I finally "got the boot" tonight. What an amazing feeling! I love my son!

July 19

26 weeks tomorrow and boy do I finally feel pregnant in every sense of the term. I'm tired, my back hurts, it's hard to bend. I feel him moving often and it makes me so incredibly happy.

My husband tells me the same thing - that from a straight front view, you can't really tell I'm pregnant... and of course that changes when I turn to the side!

You crochet? - wow, you're even artsy!!! Have you made anything for the baby yet?

I'm not looking forward to the 3 hr. on Thursday. Both times I've taken it, I feel pretty crappy during, kind of nauseous and light-headed. I'll take a book and maybe I'll get lucky and not have to stay the last hour, depending on the results.

Are you ready for this baby yet? I'm SOOO not. I figured that when the girls go back to school on 8/11 (isn't that crazy early?) that will give me 6 weeks to really get everything together. Hopefully the baby won't come early. Although if I end up having diabetes again, I may move up the c-section by a week anyways.

Doesn't it feel like time is going way more quickly?

Yeah, I know what you mean...about the layer of fat on your arms...it jiggles! I ate like a PIG yesterday...I have been craving bad things like sweets/turnovers...so I ate one last night, and pudding. They gave me the orange drink, so I'll see how that tastes. I have my shower Aug. 2, my sister is throwing for me..so I hope to get a lot of stuff then. I didn't want one, but my sister insisted :) The first delivery they induced me, labor wasn't progressing, OUCH that hurts...all of the sudden you are in serious pain...so I got an epidural. With my 2nd, I got an epidural right away, and delivered in less than 4 hours....so easy!!! So, yes going for the epidural...why be in pain? All the stuff I learned in the class went out the window! It's been really humid here....yuck!

stacy5175 - Saturday, 12 July
oh, tell me about it...my son teases me about my arms (teenager!) they are flabby. Just the other day I was laughing at my rear view in the mirror, I said to my hubby "look at this...BACK FAT!" I don't remember feeling this flabby with my other two pregnancies..I wonder if it's something that increases with each pregnancy! I started doing using dumbbells to workout my arms. What do you do? I know I can't believe we have 3 more months....I wish we'd only get this big, hah! I take my glucose test in 2 weeks, was that yucky? I also have that FULL BLADDER ultrasound in 3 weeks, have you done that? Is the air really smoky up there from the fires? I bought a changing table the other day, my only big purchase...I felt like I needed to get something! Are you going for the natural birth or epidural?

stacy5175 - Saturday, 12 July
you look soooo good! Don't worry about the weight gain, maybe your body needed it. I too gained 5-6 lbs in ONE month (this past month)!!! How weird huh? I felt like a pig at first, but then when I went to the dr. and he told me I was perfect at a 15 lb weight gain, it made me feel better. So far you've gained how much weight? I wish I looked as good as you, seriously :) Some thing I read said this was a big month or two for weight gain for most people.

I'm worried about my belly too. No other woman in my family got stretch marks there during pregnancy so I'm hoping I don't too! My cousin has a super flat stomach and she even had a c-section with her son, so I'm pretty sure there is nothing to worry about. We just have these few more months to get through. I've been doing better at staying on my left side. I sleep with a down pillow under my belly and rib cage though. It helps me not roll. There has been a few nights where I've had to sleep on our reclining couch because my neck hurt me from sleeping on my side. I don't know if that was the best thing to do but I didn't seem to have any back pain or anything in the morning.

Love78 - Thursday, 10 July
I cannot tell from your pictures that you are swollen at all. You still look really tone and fit! I know what you mean about feeling fat. I do also. The thing that is bothering me the most, is that I can see my stretch marks I got as a kid on my legs again. I don't know it if is from extra weight or what. They are not new ones, but they have been nearly undetectable for years until now. It is hard to let go, but really we've not gained weight much at all. My cousin ended up gaining over 50 lbs with her pregnancy but she ended up loosing all the weight and looks great now. I don't think either of us are on track for gaining 50 lbs and I'm sure we'll loose what weight we do put on fast!...Yeah, the baby is moving more and more each day. There was one day when I was at work and she was moving so much it was almost upsetting my stomach. That happened the other night too. Do you ever get that feeling?

Love78 - Thursday, 10 July

Still looking great! I see what you mean about everything moving up. I don't know about you, but I'm finding it harder to bend each day. I tried to put long socks on the other day and found that rather challenging. I can only imagine how it will be in a few months!

OK, you are the most fashionable pregnant woman I've ever seen!!!!

I failed my 1hr glucose test - AGAIN. I've failed it for all 3 pregnancies but only had GD for the 2nd one. My reading was 168 - do you remember what yours was? I think that's pretty high... crap! I have to have the 3 hr. next week and I'm not going to be happy if I have to deal with GD again. It's such a pain in the @ss!

For good news, I'm not anemic, my BP is still great and I only gained 1 lb this month, bringing the grand total to 15. Baby has a strong HB and the Dr. said I'm actually measuring ahead of 27 1/2 weeks.

Make sure you take a load off every once in awhile and kick up those feet. It will help with the swelling. I really popped out too about 24 weeks - just wait, it gets better (& bigger)!!

Hello, I found your pics looking at the belly, and I thought you looked great. It seems like you go to the gym, and you look good. I started swimming a little and stop the others activities I was doing. Do you think you could tell me what exercice do you do at the gym?
Thanks ! :)

stacy5175 - Wednesday, 9 July
I'm 5'6"...how about you? Maybe because my son was 6 lbs? He just said because I was "tiny" to start with, he wanted me to gain 30 lbs. I never considered myself "tiny" I consider myself med. build. I wonder why you swelled up so much, maybe just being on vacation..different routine and different foods/etc. Did the ear tattoo hurt? I have a heart with rosebuds/vines down yonder...and my lower back a sun/moon. I'd like another, but my daughter said I have enough :) I really can't remember my exact day of my last period...it was somewhere in between 1/20 and 1/24. Originally my due date was 10/31, then based on her size they moved me to 10/27. Like your new photo! Still jogging? Do you feel braxton hicks contractions? I get them every other hour or so.

Such a great pic!!!

~Alicia~ - Tuesday, 8 July

Such a cute picture!!! Awwwwww

stacy5175 - Tuesday, 8 July
thanks :) I ate all weekend...now have gained 15 lbs..went to the dr. today and he said perfect weight gain...wants me to gain a total of 30 lbs. I was hoping for 25 lbs..but oh well...whatever is best for baby. Your feet are swollen? If they don't go down by tomorrow am, call your dr. Maybe it was all the junk food/lots of salt? What are your other tats of? I hope my new one doesn't stretch...we'll see.

As far as movement, I don't have that crazy kicking all the time that some women talk about. But several different times a day, usually first thing in the morning (sometimes when I'm still in bed) and in the evening when I'm sitting on the couch and once or twice during the day, I'll just feel him moving around. Sometimes it feels really weird and then I'll see one side of my stomach stick up a little further - I think it's his back/butt pushing. It does feel like little kicks sometimes but he's usually facing backwards and it feels like he's kicking back into my body. I'll feel him anywhere from 3-4 to 9-10 times per "session". As far as anything to compare it to, don't feel alone, I've forgotten my other two at this point anyways! Although I think this little boy is far less active than my girls were, but it's hard to remember back that far.

I love your question - "is there potential for you to be shocked once more?" My husband and I are both practicing Catholics, so I guess there is that possibility. We will certainly be A LOT more careful now that we know it can happen. I don't think either one of us really wants to have more after this.

Is it starting to seem more real to you yet? Have you bought anything?

Love78 - Friday, 4 July
I thought I was suppose to go once a month until 36 weeks, but apparently I have every two weekers starting next month before I get to the once a week. I guess I missed them saying that in the beginning. As far as classes go, there are classes offered through my hospital/doctor's office - childbirth classes. There is one called Prepared Childbirth which covers just about everything and others just on infant feeding, Infant/child CPR, or a tour of the hospital, etc. I'm only thinking about taking one because I don't want to seem like a clueless mom. My husband's been through this before - his sister and brother are 12 and 15 years younger than him and his daughter 11 years old currently! I never really babysat as a kid and I am an only child. Honestly, I've only held two babies my entire life and only for a short period of time, so I guess I want to get more comfortable with babies and feel like I know what to do.

I haven't tried doing any push ups in awhile. I've just been doing various weights at the gym a few times a week. Those Peg Perego strollers look pretty nice. I don't think I've ever heard of those before. The doctor's appt went okay. They are going to do glucose testing next time with me. I don't go back until Aug. 1st though, then I have appts every 2 weeks! I cannot believe we are getting that close. Have you or are you going to sign up for any classes?

stacy5175 - Thursday, 3 July
oh, that's right...I knew that name sounded like someone "famous" :) I can't believe your dad, that's crossing the line big time! It's like "get over it, not changing the name". After my daughter was born we named her Rose Marie...and my mother in law wanted us TO CHANGE HER NAME to Emily Rose (her mother's name is Emily) I couldn't believe she had the nerve to ask us to change her name after she was born! She got over it! At my 20 wk apt. my dr. said I should be at the half point mark in weight gain 12-17 lb. Some people say the last month you don't gain weight...you are sooo big and uncomfortable...hard to eat etc. What are you doing for the 4th? We are hanging out here, going to the beach to watch the fireworks. You guys live in Venice? I went to Culver City High School. My dad lives in S.M. on Ocean....fun area.

stacy5175 - Thursday, 3 July
wow, great photo....my hubby liked it...he happened to be walking by when I was looking at your photo. I will take a photo tonight of my belly :P I've been walking/hiking for an hour/day, sometimes I have to slow down because I feel pressure down low. Do you ever feel pressure down low when you jog/walk? I get so tired at night, after dinner...it's bed and TV time!

stacy5175 - Thursday, 3 July
I like the name, flows very nicely. Me too....stopped telling people her name Sienna Nicole Becker. We were at dinner with family, and one of my cousins was going on and on as to why I shouldn't name her Sienna...she told me a few names she thought I should name her instead. I was pissed and annoyed! My son wanted a boy soooooo bad, but my daughter is thrilled we are having a girl. How much weight have you gained if you don't mind me asking? I gained 5 lbs this last month!!! At my 20 week apt. I gained 9 lbs. and my dr. said she wanted me to gain more weight than that. So, I ate a lot more than usual. My daughter was 7 lbs and son 6 lbs..and I gained 25 lbs with each pregnancy. My goal is 25 lbs. by 40 weeks.

Love78 - Thursday, 3 July
That's pretty cool about the flashlight. I should try that! I'm not looking forward to cutting back my work outs or slowing them down. I have started to already though. I have another doctor's appt tomorrow. As far as I know they are just checking the heartbeat and measuring the uterus. Did you get a chance to go out and look for strollers yet?

stacy5175 - Wednesday, 2 July
hi!
Good to hear from you! This pregnancy is pretty much the same as my other two, the only difference is my boobs are way bigger since I didn't have implants with the other pregnancies. Are you still running? You should be a bathing suit model :) Thanks for the compliment on my family! I'll take a photo of my belly on post it, for some reason I'm not into my belly as much this time. I have photos of my belly with the other two pregnancies though.
Any names yet?

Love78 - Wednesday, 2 July
I feel her move pretty much every day. Usually it is when there are loud noises or when a lot of people are talking. Is your baby moving much? I've noticed this week my energy level dropping. How's your energy level this week?

shocked - Tuesday, 1 July
Boy are you good at always updating your pics! I had such a hard time getting my original ones on there, I don't know if they'll ever be changed!

Glad to hear your glucose results were good at the 3 hour. I know that really sucks (I had gestational diabetes with my 2nd).

I'm starting to feel kind of bigger all of a sudden, getting just a little tough to get up off the floor, etc. I have my next check-up and glucose test a week from today, can't say I'm looking forward to it.

Are you feeling that little boy moving a lot?

stacy5175 - Monday, 30 June

you look so good! little belly :) How are you feeling? Can you believe we are more than half way there....time is flying fast now.
