About Me...
Hi! I'm Melissa. I'm 22 yrs old, happily married - for 3yrs now - to my sexy hubby Kevin ;). We had a beautiful February (2005) wedding. Kevin and I live in a small , quiet country village, surrounded by our family, raising our two girls - Gracey Anne (2yrs) and Lilah Rose (1yr)... AND now, we've recently learned -- a total surprise -- we're expecting baby #3 in July! Mommy is going to be busy, busy, busy! So, I'm a stay-at-home mom and wife... and I love it :). Secondly, I'm a hairstylist, and have an in-home salon and am also our little villages' AVON rep!
My Pregnancies...
I've been pretty lucky actually- my past two pregnancies were problem free. Everything was normal and ran pretty smoothly.
Gracey was long coming... My water broke, but I never had contractions or dilated for 36hrs, so I was then induced. After 12HRS -ahh!- of labour Gracey was delivered - naturally and with an epideral.
Lilah on the other hand... Started off the same, water broke, no contractions - was preparing myself for another long haul haha - when 'magically' the fun began. After only 1HR of labour Lilah was delivered - again naturally, but this time ALL NATURALLY haha - was no time to get the epideral... an experience I will never forget :).
So far pregnancy #3 has been totally different. I've still been healthy, BUT I have never been so sick in all my life! But yay for meds! haha... Doctor has put me on medication for sickness - which I am told I may have to stay on. I'm hoping to find out the sex again this time.... Maybe with this time me being so sick Daddy will get a boy??

I'm getting quite irritable too and over stupid stuff that I wouldn't normally care about. I had to explain to my BF that I can't control it and to ignore me unless it's important, lol

I just got some new pictures up of the girls and of our new driveway. I'm now getting ready to take down the chicken wall paper that's in our Kitchen. Hopefully we can paint it in a few weeks as soon as I get it down. Hope all is good and hope to talk to you soon!!!
daisyluv - Friday, 27 June
I completely understand you. we are in the process of moving, we just bought a house but ofcourse seeing that the process takes so damn long, we prob wont be actually moving in until late july, so hoping the baby is here by then, still the hassle of having to pack with this belly will be a mission. Then by the time we move in and ahving to clean and unpack, wow, with a newborn and a toddler myself, I also have a 7 year old but hes great and if anything will help us out, but the toddler can be a handful. Luckilyu I have my mom and sisters who will be helping, which I sort of feel bad about, but I really think I will be able to use all he help theyll give. We'll see how this goes for us. Good luck to you.

omg! i just read your post and I'm in the exact same situation! My hubby is also 23 and he never even mentions having sex anymore, Sometimes I wonder if he finds me attractive. I think is because we're pregnant and it gets really unconfortable. Just to make you feel better we haven't done it in like 2 weeks.... it sucks!!!
tschmitz - Friday, 6 June
well my hubby is scared of hurting the baby..no matter how many times i explain to him that it's fine..and another issue is that when we do he says it gets too lubricated and he cant feel much..which makes it harder, and we are definetly not going at it more then once a week lol..it tends to be a little painful for me..now you know every detail of my sex life! lol
MommaD - Thursday, 5 June
We're doing it about 3 times per week. We'd do everyday twice a day if it were up to the hubby who is 32. He has the drive of a teen. But I think there are alot of men that don't enjoy sex when their wives are preg. I think some are scared of hurting the baby or their wife.
carolynjh - Thursday, 5 June
Awww, you are too sweet, and you look great as well by the way :) Funny, we are both outnumbering our husbands with girls lol. I have 3 sisters, 3 neices, will have 2 daughters, and 1 new nephew, so girls definitely run in my family!
carolynjh - Wednesday, 4 June
omg sweetie! I just read your post about your little one having the flu and you have two under the age of 3 and are preggo! Hope your baby feels better soon!

Hi Melissa,

Hi Melissa, immediately after delivery, we will arrange for someone to give us a body and herbs massage. The masuse will pay particular attention to the tummy. I had a C-section and I had the massage too. She did not touch the operation area but surrouning areas around it. After the operation, my tummy was as big as while i was 5-month pregnant and after a week of daily body and tummy massage, it became a lot better.
It is not body massage only. I had to be on strict diet and I had to use the girdle, herbs was rubbed all over by body and i had to bear with the girdle and herbs on my body for the whole day. Some, were adv not to take shower until before the next sesssion which is the following day.
The girdle is usually man-made, 16 meter long. It will start just under the breast and wrapped tightly around the body. However, now they are also commercially available.
My massage only lasted for a week. I know of people who would go with that process during the 45 days confirment. This method is especially popular with Indonesians.
Hope this explation gives you some idea. Feel free to ask more questions.

Sounds like you do have SPD. I've had it since week 24. Those are all the classic symptoms. I'm going to have to talk to the doctor when I go Friday b/c there is no way that I can spread my legs open to push the baby out. We need to discuss other birthing positions. But there isn't anything they can do to fix it. My doc did prescribe vicoden for pain, but told me to take it as less as possible.
blueeyes71883 - Monday, 19 May
Hi, i saw your post regarding the SPD. I was just diagnosed with this last week. I am 30 weeks preg and have been experiencing the pain since i was about 4 months pregnant. It hurts to put on pants, to exercise, to turn in bed, to get up. Its horrible! My doc recommended a c-section because some patients experience complications with a normal delivery (keeping legs open for long period of time, pushing, stress) but she said its my choice on what i want to do. She said most of the time the pain goes away when you have the baby, in some cases it doesn't. I would talk to your doctor to be safe :)

You look GREAT! And thank you for your stories, you made me feel better. faithmarie - Friday, 2 May
Yah, I actually am trying to get over a cold right now - during the whole cold my snot has been bloody. Gross, but oh well...
J-Motts - Thursday, 1 May
Hey - I have this too....ever since the 1st trimester. It's lessed up a bit, thought. I always have something up there and when I blow, it's usually bloody. It's supposed to be a result of the increased blood flow. What a fun mess!!
missyny - Thursday, 1 May
My nose has been stuffy, runny, etc, my entire pregnancy ! I've had three nose bleeds so far.
It's normal. Have a great day.
:)
MelisaK - Thursday, 1 May
Yes, it is my sinuses. I blow out blood then a little while later I get a headache. It has happened off and on during this entire pregnancy.
