Hello everyone !!! First, let me tell you a little about me. I'm a 23 yr old senior at South Carolina State University. I major in computer science and minor in digital media. Me and my baby's father are still together. We love each other so much and are so excited and me being pregnany (this is both of our first child).

I had my first OB appointment on February 1st. They did blood work and an ultrasound. I also got to listen to the heatbeat !!! It was so amazing cause i didnt expect to hear a heartbeat so soon. At first the doctor told me it looks like i should be 9wks. After she did the ultrasound, she pushed it back and said i was 8wks and a couple days (but hopefully when i go back the push it back up a little). My due date is set to Sep. 9th. I go back on Feb. 27th for my "first trimester screening (i just want to make sure the baby is going to be healthy). After that i go back to my OB on March 5th. Im so excited about going. I'm ready for another ultrasound. I think if i could, i would get one done everyday !! Plus this will be the first appt. that me boyfriend goes to. He missed the first one cause he just started a new job, and they wouldnt let him miss any of his training time.I think he's more excited than i am.

Sunday February 10th, 2008 ( 9wks 4days)

Today i fell good. Didnt get sick or anything. Im so ready to go to my appointment on the 27th. I hope they do an ultrasound so i can see my little baby again. I should be exactly 12 wks when i go there. Time seems like its going by so slow !! I guess thats cause im counting every day, i just cant wait untill Sept. gets here !!

I kinda had trouble knowing what month is was in, so i thought this might be useful to some of you :

First Month of pregnancy is 1-5 weeks,
Second Month is 6-9 weeks
Third Month is 10-13 weeks
Fourth Month is 14-18 weeks
Fifth Month is 19-22 weeks
Sixth Month is 23-27 weeks
Seventh Month is 28-31 weeks
Eighth Month is 32-36 weeks
Ninth Month is 37 -40 weeks

Tuesday February 12, 2008 (10wks 0days)

Im exactly 10 wks today ! I had school today and had to suffer threw all my classes. I guess today was just one of those days. I had that bad feeling in my throat the whole day up untill 8pm ! I brought some of the B6 vitmain, but it didnt really do nothing, or make i need to take it more than one time, i dont no. If im still having these feeling when i go back to the doctor (hopefully im not), im gonna see if there's something they can give me. Im thinking about getting me one of those heart dopplers, but im gonna wait till my appointment an ask them about it.

Saturday February 16, 2008 (10wks 4days)

Well i brought the morning sickness lolly-pop. It really does work. I've been feeling good the whole day ! Except for a little back/side pain. Is anyone else having this problem? Other than that, i'm fine, and hopefully (i pray) baby is fine to. Still waiting on the 27th for my appointment (will the 27th ever come !!!). I even called to try and schedule an earlier date, but they said because of my due date, that's when i need to come in. So i guess i have no choice but to wait. Well untill next time, god bless !

Tuesday February 19, 2008 (11wk 0d)

I'm 11wks !! The pass couple days have been pretty good. Wasnt sick or anything, just that little funny feeling in my throat. When am i gonna get my baby bump ?! I'm so ready for it.

Saturday February 23, 2008 (11wk 4d)

Today went pretty good. Didnt have any m/s, but still didnt really want to eat that much. Only 3 more days untill my 12wks appointment ! My boyfriend just told me last night that he will be able to come to this appointment after all, so im so happy !! He's real excited about hearing the heart beat, since he wasnt able to be there to hear it the first time. Well untill next time, god bless .

Sunday February 24, 2008 (11wk 5d)

Two more days untill my appointment ! Felt good today, even though i did bring-up one time this morning :(

Tuesday February 26, 2009 (12wk 0d)

Tomorrow is my big day (I go for my 12wk appointment) ! I'm so exicted, but at the same time scared. I'm just hoping and praying that everything is still fine with my baby. My back is killing me ! Is it suppose to be feeling like this? It hurts on the two sides everytime i move, or if i bend the wrong way. Also, tomorrow is the day that im suppose to tell my mother that im prego ! Wish me luck that i dont back out,ha.

My 1st trimester: December 04, 2007 to March 03, 2008. (0 - 12 weeks) My 2nd trimester: March 04, 2008 to June 16, 2008. (13 - 27 weeks)
My 3rd trimester: June 17, 2008 to September 09, 2008. (28 - 40 weeks)

Wednesday February 27, 2008 (12wk 1d)

I had my appointment this morning ! First let me tell u about the scare i had this morning. I got up to use the bathroom, and blood started to come out. There wasnt any on my panties or nothing, it just came when i pee. I was so scared, i didnt no what to do (Luckily i had my appointment in a couple hrs). So anyways, the appointment went good. The dr said the heart beat was 134 which was good for how far along i was. I really didnt get any good pictures printed out, but i saw some good one's on the screen. He/she was just moving all over the place, making it real hard to even get a measurement. I go back next week on the 5th, but its just for a normal check up, i just hope i at least i get to hear the heart beat again. Now, im just waiting for my 20wk appointment so i can find out what im having ! God bless.

Sunday March 2, 2008 (12wk 5d)

Hello all ! I'm almost 13wks. Yesterday i felt great, no sickness or anything. Today i felt a little bad when the day first started, but as time moved on, im getting better. The only thing that's bothering me is my back. It hurts if i dont sit up straight. Well, i got my next OB appointment on 3/5/8. I'm not sure what their going to do, i how at least they let me listen to the heart beat again. I'm just ready to get to 20wks so i can no what im having. Not sure yet if i was a boy or girl, I'll no by next month i guess. I still havent started to show yet ! What is my baby bump waiting on ! Well, untill next time, God bless and hope everyone is doing well !

Wednesday March 5th, 2008

I has my appointment today. I was only in there for like 10-15 minutes. They checked my weight and blood pressure. Then i went in the room to see my doctor. She first used the little hand held machine to try and find the heart beat. She couldnt find it (she only tried it for like 5 seconds), so she end up doing an ultra sound. I was happy to have one cause i wasnt expecting one untill my 20wks appointment. The ultra sound only last for 1 minute (i think she was kinda ready to go home cause i was the last person f the day). We still didnt get to hear the heart beat because of the position where the baby was sitting, she said it was under my pelvic bone or something like that. Even though the ultra sound didnt last long, we did get to see he/him kick it's legs up. This was my bf first time seeing the ultra sound in person, so he thought its was cool. My next appointment is April 2nd, 2008 and hopefully we will know the gender by then. Well untill later, God bless

Tuesday March 12th, 2008 (14wk 1d)

Hi everyone. Well for today and yesterday i felt great ! I wasnt sick or anything so hopefully this continues. It seems like im having a little extra leaking down below. Anyone else had something like that? I also got my fetal heart monitor today !! I tried it but i couldnt find a heart beat, i think the one i found was mine. The last time i was to the dr they couldnt hear the heart beat either because of the position of the baby. But im thinking it shouls have moved up a little now, but i dont no. If anyone has one and no how to use it, please leave me a comment on my page. Well, other that's about it for now. Just waiting on April 2nd to get hear for my next appointment. Talk to you guys later ! Bye

Monday March 17th, 2008 (14wk 6d)

Ok, I was so exicted last night. Remember i said i bought one of those fetal heart monitors and couldnt find/hear the heartbeat? Well last night at around 1am (in the morning), i found it !! I was so happy when i heard the fast little heartbeat. It was about 143-145. So i think thats a good/normal rate. So of course now, i wanna listen to it everyday ! Well, talk to you ladies later, Bye

Wednesday April 2nd, 2008 (17wk 1d)

I had my appointment today. Heartbeat was strong. Dr said my blood pressure was kinda high, so their going to watch it to make sure it dont go. She also said i need to drink more fluid. So i guess it's more water for me ! :( I do drink water, but its just a certain amount i can drink a day before it make my stamach feel like its about to bust. She set my Big appointment for April 23rd ! I was wishing they would say come back next next week, but i guess i was dreaming. They dont tell the gender till wk 20. Well....i guess it's not that far away, just 3 wks, and i'll know if it's a boy or gurl. Oh ya, i bought my first baby item yesterday !! It was a "My first bible book". I just had to buy something, my boyfriend said we can start buying stuff after we find out what it is.


Tuesday March 18th 2008 (15wk)

I'm 15 weeks !! I can't wait till i get to find out what im having, cause i'm gonna go shopping crazy ! I called my dr an they said they will have to schedule me for another ultasound when i come in. I go in on April 2nd, and i will be 17wks. I no they can tell me then, they just trying to make me loose my mind with this waiting !! I think i felt my baby move today ! I was trying to listen to the heartbeat, then i felt this little flutter feeling everyone talks about. I dont no if that really was the baby, or me imagining it. You no ur mind can play tricks on you sometime. Well, hope everyone is doing great. Bye

Sunday March 30th, 2008 (16wk 5d)

Havent been feeling all that well this weekend. Got that funny feeling back in my throat, which i havent had in a good lil while. Got my appoint next this coming Wend. !! Hope the schedule me for an ultrasound the following week so i can no if im having a boy or gurl !! Like i said, i think it is a boy cause i used one of those ovulation calendar and the day that i think i got pregnant on, it shows a boy, but we'll see. I check the heartbeat every night an it's almost always in the 130's. Other then that, everything is good. After i find out what it is, im going shopping !! Cant wait, cant wait, cant wait !! Untill next time, good bye :)


pregnancy

April 15th, 2008 (19wk)

So Im 19wks today and one more week untill my big ulrasound (20wks and half the way there) !! Can't wait, i think im kinda figuring out what the flutters feel like now. Cause everytime i lay on my stomach, i feel a butterfly feeling. So i think i got it now, but im gonna ask my dr just to make sure.

Wed. April 16th 2008 (19wk 1d)

Only 7 more days till my big appointment !! I'm so excited, i no this week is going to go by slow as ever! Yesterday i was in the mirror for a while, standing up fixin my hair. Bad, bad idea ! My heal, leg, and back was hurting last night like crazy ! I didnt sleep well at all last night, kept having to move around. It also seems like im not able to really sleep on my stomach anymore. Feels kinda weird, not comfortable at all some nights.

Sunday April 20th, 2008 (19wks 5d)

I was checking for my baby's heartbeat and all of a sudden i felt, KICK ! That was the strongest i ever felt it (maybe because i was pressing down with the doppler). At frist i jumped, but then i realize what it was. I also kinda had a hard time finding the heartbeat. Usually i just go to the same spot and find it right away. Today it took me about 5 mintues to even find it, and when i did, it still wasnt to clear. I guess he/she's moving to a different location in there. As long as he/she act right on Wed. so they can look and see the gender, everything will be fine. I only have 2 more days to be 20 wks and to know if it's a boy or girl !!!!

Wed April 23rd 2008 (20wks 1d)

So i had my appointment today and.....it's a GIRL !! I'm so excited and suprise. From most people having a boy that was in this week, i thought i would to. But the dr said she was 100% sure that it was a girl. We couldnt get a good look at the face because of the postion she was in. Her face was turned to my back. They made me drink orange juice and walk around to see if we could get her to move around, but that didnt work. They even made me use the bathroom (empty my bladder) so the baby could have more room to move around. Nothing worked so we only got to see a side profile. The heartbeat was 145 and the weight was 12oz. I was 20wk 1day but she said i was measuring 20wk 3day. Two days up, not a big differnce but i'll take it. The due date is still the same though.

May 2nd 2008 (21wks 3dys)

Since week 20, i've been feeling my little girl move much more, It starts after 5pm and gets stronger at night. At my last appointment they told me that the 20wk ultrasound would be the last one that i'll have. So i really think im going to get a 3D ultrasound done at around 30wks. I just got to see my baby at least one more time before she's born. I also just bought her first outfits ! I got three little outfit and some hello kitty socks, She's not going to be able to wear them untill she's about 6-7 months, but i just had to buy it. I'm gonna look for her home coming outfit this month. I no already no what i want her to be in for the first time ! It's gonna be the little hello kitty socks with a hello kitty outfit (if i can find one for newborns). That's about all for today.

Sunday May 4, 2008 (21wks 5d)

Also in week 22! Time seems to be going kinda fast, but not fast enought. I cant wait till August get here, then i want had but a month left (plus thats my birthday)! This week wasnt really that good for me. Baby is fine and everything, kicking alot, letting me know everythings ok with her inside there. Just a little stuff between me and my bf. Anyways, all that matters is my lil girl is healthy and doing well ! I find comfort in going shopping for her, that seems to help me feel better, lol.

Monday May 5th 2008 (21wk 6dys)

Last day in week 21 and off to week 22 ! I'm feeling my little girl move as i'm writing this. Im wondering if the time i feel her kick is the time that she's up and is it going to be her awake time when she's born? Cause if so im good to go. She has a good sleep time going for now.

Saturday May 10th 2008 (22wk 4dy)

I think my lil girl is going to be stuborn! I feel her move all the time, but soon as i put my hands on my stomach to see if i can feel it from the outside, she stop moving completely. My boyfriend also tried to see if he could feel anything, but she didnt move at all. I'm planning to get a 3D ultrasound done maybe at 30wks. I called the place that does it and she said they like to do it around 26-28wks, just cause the baby still has room to move around.

Hi, my hospital offers Childbirth Classes for free. I never heard of one charging for them, though I guess there probably are some that do, since they have to pay for the instructors time and the usage of the room and equipment..etc. But in our area there are no fees associated with the classes.


stacka - Wednesday, 7 May
well my fundal height it 2cm higher than it should be.

Hi there. I had a UTI a couple of months ago and it was agony. My Dr. prescribed an antibiotic, I was reluctant to take it, but it did the trick. Your Dr. (in my opinion) should give you something like that, I don't know of any over the counter remedy that is going to make you feel better. I would get on the phone with your Dr., or go and sit in the waiting room until you get something to help you! In the meantime, drink plenty of cranberry juice and hang in there. I hope you get some comfort soon.


ReadyOrNot - Tuesday, 6 May
The only things I know of over the counter are the AZO, cranberry juice, and someone told me that there is something out by monistat for UTIs. ??? worth a try

I envy all you mommies who can buy baby stuff already. Here in the Philippines, it's kind of a belief that we aren't supposed to until around the 9th month when it's safe to deliver the baby. Old people say when we buy stuff or give names to our babies before the 9th month it's like pre-empting the pregnancy. I do go shopping every time I can do and make a list of what to put in my baby registry for my baby shower LOL


lea - Sunday, 27 April
Hiya hun, my due date is 14th but my boyfriends birthday is on your due date! well i am having my 20 week scan tomorrrow and we are going to a uk store that do a baby list and choosing everything in the afternoon. that way we can give family the chance to buy stuff on there for us and they deliver about 6 weeks before your due. perfect!!!!!


kristam - Saturday, 26 April
I would suggest buying the bigger more expensive things that you know most people will not buy for you at your shower. If you have already registered then make sure if it is something on your list you take it off, or you might get the same item again. I am getting ready to start shopping in a couple of weeks, and getting the babies room ready... I am so excited too and can hardly contain myself... I know there are certain things that I am going to wait until after my shower to buy... Bottles, wash clothes, etc... Usually things you end up getting a lot of as gifts.... Good luck with everything! I say go for it and start shopping, just like someone else suggested keep receipts...


msmillsap08 - Saturday, 26 April
Hi! Just wanted to drop by and comment on your post in the 20 wks board. As far as buying stuff, Ive already got everything bought, we started very early in the pregnancy, I think it helps the time to pass by. Just save the reciepts and you should be good to go. We have our crib and all the furniture already. Go shopping momma! lol Best Wishes!


babymamamanda - Saturday, 26 April
Hi! I am a student at USC Upstate, am 22 and due Aug. 31 with my first baby- a girl!! Weird huh?


lukxyz294 - Saturday, 26 April
if ur positive in the gender of the baby, then go for it! my husband already has the baby crib set up! lol


mommy-allie - Saturday, 26 April
haha.. .sorry, i just saw your its a girl sign... i have 8 more days until i find out. Congrats!


mommy-allie - Saturday, 26 April
my boyfriend keeps telling me to wait too. i dont want to buy things too earlly but i know itll seem a lot more expensive to wait and do it all at once... plus im just really excited to go shopping! Do you know the sex of your baby yet?


deb2404 - Saturday, 26 April
You go girl.. Shop till you flop. Tell him that maybe you are jinxing the pregnancy by not buying anything. He can't argue with a pregnant woman..


Suzannew - Saturday, 26 April
I'm due Sept. 10th. I've already got a bassinet, high chair, several packs of diapers ( I recommend buying some each month along with wipes), wipe warmer, monitor, baby bed on the way, and I've started putting money on a gift card each month for those items that come along after the baby (just in case it's needed can't hurt). So I'd say go far it now. A little at a time won't seem so bad. Hopes this helps.


MelisaK - Saturday, 26 April
I have already started on the room. I also started buying things when I was 20 weeks. I have the stroller, car seat, bed and bedding, a bouncy seat and diapers. I don't have the money to buy everything at once so I am buying here and there. I am also worried she might try and come early or I will be put on bed rest so I want to have as much done as possible.


deb2404 - Saturday, 26 April
We started buying at 8 weeks. That was only because my fiance was positive everything was going to be fine this time. I have just bought things gradually and as I am getting married next month I have asked for money towards a nursary.. So I am going to go on a spending spree then. If he does not want you to start buying.. layby or put money aside.. and then go wild....


~!~Allison~!~ - Saturday, 26 April
I know what you mean, sometimes it takes longer to set in that you are going to be a mommy. It barely just sank in for me! I am so excited about meeting this little boy in my belly that keeps kickin me! lol


katnwes - Friday, 25 April
I just had my 20 week u/s and they said the baby is 11 oz. From what I've been reading, it seems like 9 oz might be a bit small for 20 weeks. My u/s tech said that our baby was measuring about 5 days small, which is consistent with all of his measurements so far. I think 12 oz is probably about right.


~!~Allison~!~ - Friday, 25 April
How have you been doing? Congrats on your baby Girl!!! I found out what I am having... It's a BOY!!!


mommyrock - Friday, 25 April
I have to have another u/s because the placenta is 1cm from my cervix. They need to make sure it moves to the correct position. If not, we will see what happens.


praying4mybaby - Friday, 25 April
My baby is 12 ounces too! Don't worry, we're just going to have big babies!


mommyrock - Friday, 25 April
That is so funny, Jenna is 12 oz too!! I think the websites are just an average, maybe. My daughter is super healthy and that is all that matters. Glad to hear you have a healthy girl too!!
