Hello,

So I decided that this site would be great for me so that I know im not the only mom to be with soo many aches and pains!!! Im 22, A little younger than I wanted to be to have my first baby. My fiance is a bit older and we are soo excited to be parents. We already have an 8 month old chocolate lab pup who keeps us busy and honestly has prepared us more than we know for parent hood.

On Feb 8th we find out the sex of the baby and get to have an ultrasound for the first time. We heard the heartbeat 2 weeks ago and it was 150bpm. That by far was one of the most exciting things to hear.

Well I look forward to chatting with all the other mommies to be:)

Jan 18th- Went to the doctor today!!! We heard the heartbeat was 144. Was weighed, gained another 4 pounds so have gained a total of 7 pounds so far. Not too bad!!!! Im feeling pretty good lately, besides from the lower back pain, headaches, and some dizziness. They decided to do a surprise ultra sound for me considering the doctor was booked the next 3 weeks. We saw the baby and it look perfect, when I figure out how to use my new scanner I will get the pics up! So we also found out we are having a girl! She was moving so much I was scared the tech was going to give up but she kept going and the baby finally flipped upside down and we saw the 3 lines!!!! I was surprised at first because everyone was trying to tell me it was a boy but from the start I knew it was a girl! So her name will be Alexa Pearl Herrick. We couldnt be happier. She was measuring 6oz 6 inches long. Now I Just wish June would come now!!

April 9th.

I Just wanted to let any moms know what I do for work. I was working as a part time nanny, Well I actually still do but this is my last month! I also work for a company called Arbonne International. Its a skin care company that is 100% natural, all vegan which means its not tested on animals and there are no animal biproducts used. Its hypoallergenic, and is a swiss formutaled product. There are many different lines, 6 to be exact. One which I thought some moms may be interested in was the Baby Line. Im not sure if anyone has watched dateline or read the latest blogs online. But many products especially baby products contain parabins, and Mineral oil. Mineral oil is aweful for your body and your skin, Its derived from plastic and is toxic to your skin.. No wonder why soo many people break out and dont know why!!! Well anyway, I just wanted to inform anyone who wanted to know about this business and some of the products. You can become an independent consultant as well and get all products for wholesale which is an additional 35-50% off, everything is shipped directly to your house and you dont have to go run to the mall to go waste money on skin care products that aren't good for you. I dont preach about arobonne, but if anyone has any questions please feel free to message me or even go look on the website yourself! www.arbonne.com.

Thanks!!!

Sounds like your baby is coming soon! I'm soooo jealous....wish you all the best and can't wait to hear all about it ...don't forget to post pics too! Take care x


TopazBecky - Saturday, 7 June
Seems like your time is almost here- best of luck! Keep us updated!!


JayW - Saturday, 7 June
Whoa...I missed some drama! What was it all about? I tried to find the post that everyone was referring to...but it was deleted?


mama40 - Saturday, 7 June
Rachel, this really sucks. You have complication with high BP, you are in pain, why did they send you home?Why not help o speed things a little. You are having so hard time. I also live 40 min from the hospital and this is not counting traffic, so I am also so much afraid to be sent home while in pain. Keep us posted. I will have you in my prayers.


cori1212 - Saturday, 7 June
I am so surprised that they haven't induced you yet with your BP being so high and the non stop contractions. I would start to demand them to do something. LOL.. I was induce with my first because on my BP I mean I was 39 weeks along then so it was fine for her to be born but still my BP was like 180/100 during my labor with her.


CCQ - Saturday, 7 June
Good luck hunni. Sucks they sent you home but I guess most hospitals do that. I hope you get to go back soon so they can give you some pain relief (if that's what you want). Keep us posted and I am so jealous!!!!


ozbaby - Saturday, 7 June
I think she was having a worse day after all those comments everyone left her. Thanks for updating me. I looked in her profile and she is no longer on here so i kind of feel sorry for her. Im glad it wasnt me on the end of everyones temper after her comments. Must have been rude to provoke such a response. Note to self: Dont complain about people complaining. ha ha


mama40 - Saturday, 7 June
Rachel, good luck. It seems you are going into labor. Do not be afraid to go to L&D and be sent home. The baby needs to be monitored, and you need to be sure you are not going to have a baby in a car on your way to hospital (actually happened in our state - they got caught in traffic). So do not wait too long. And I wish you an easy labor and a healthy baby.


purplestreak - Saturday, 7 June
i hope so im so scared of a c-section.


heathersprk - Friday, 6 June
I had spotting too after the dr checked me yesterday... she said I might so I wasnt worried. It was pretty bloody and kinda goopey (i know TMI) but I havent gone into labor from it yet, a whole day later and since she did warn me Im not too worried...


tangerina - Friday, 6 June
oh and when you start feeling those contractions, relax and watch a movie.. try to keep your mind off of it ( I know, easier said than done!) but adrenaline slows down labor so try not to get all worked up!!!

yay!!! !xoxoxo


yari - Friday, 6 June
you and your stomach!...That is a good sign though, it sounds like you could go this weekend on your own, 4 cm is pretty good, and here enough to get you admitted or atleast walking around the hospital like a dork to get things going....maybe keep cleaning? Have someone with you though since you are high risk, i would just have people on standby for the weekend midnight phone call. My mom carries both of her phones at all times lol.


rubymom - Friday, 6 June
Good luck! It sounds like you are on your way to seeing your little one soon.


tangerina - Friday, 6 June
OMG!!!! YAY!!! HOW EXCITING!!!! I'm so excited for you!!! woo hoo!! so it could happen this weekend!! You are really effaced! I cant imagine the pain you're feeling.. i can feel my baby's head digging deeper in there and it hurts like crap. I'm glad you were still able to nest! LOL. Let me know what happens! YAY!! I cant believe how close we all are, soon we'll all be dropping off the page.. LOL


yari - Friday, 6 June
I really don't get the water breaking thing. Several ladies have said that they were told to "call when water breaks" very few women have their water "break" on its own or even leak, so that is weird, the more common instance is the contractions to start, you already know the timing, head to the hospital and as you dialate and efface and they know its the real deal they will break it for you, remember all those comments on it not hurting vs hurting etc... I am not waiting for my frickin water, I am waiting for the back pain and tightening and I am on my way!!! Trust your instincts, even as a first timer you will know what we mean when a "real one" hits. Its indescribable, and wonderful cause it means whooohooo!


yari - Friday, 6 June
why weren't you sent to L&D, is it because you aren't having contractions. Girl I am waiting til I have 2, even if they are 11 min apart we are going...Are you allowed to walk and try to get things going, it just seems you are ready with the 4 cm.... =)


NumberFive - Friday, 6 June
non stop pooping comes right b 4 birth by dr admitted me on the 20th, told me i was in labor(i was not ) but b careful


madiraevin - Friday, 6 June
if you are feeling pressure, and having severe bowel movements, this could be a good sign of early delivery.... and clean as much as you want, but take it easy while doing so. if you're going to fold clothes, sit while you're doing it....and so on....i've been "nesting" for weeks. lol


raynbowmami - Friday, 6 June
I have a feeling she's not coming until next weekend. That's fine with me. I'm not super miserable right now. I'm just tired really. I have more pains right under my belly but above my pelvis. It hurt this morning which kept me sitting on my bed an extra 45 minutes until it stopped. But really it's just so darn hot here in Atlanta and that is making things very uncomfortable. I get nauseous when I get hot. Not a good feeling. So I'm just going to try and stay as cool as possible and relax with my feet up and get some rest.


raynbowmami - Friday, 6 June
It's killin me. I think this one is sitting on a nerve too which is why it hurts so much. It hurts all down my leg. I'm practically in tears and not because it won't come out but because it hurts when it does.


jamie2917 - Thursday, 5 June
I am not sure. I bet that it is ok since you just got checked and are going in tommorow, but it is always better to be safe then sorry. I dont know I am sorry I dont know what to tell you. It is your call :) Let me know what you do find out though...either today or tommorow
