    how are you feeling?

    I'm at 9 weeks. Thankfully, I don't have m/s, but am still tired. I could nap everyday. LOL I've gotten winded doing laundry!

    I've had two sonograms already (I'm high-risk) and everything looks good for our little one. :)

    How are you doing?

    Re: how are you feeling?

    I am 6 weeks 2 days and I feel way tired all the time, too. I am so worried that I'm going to lose my baby though cuz of how much stress is in my life. Do you have any tips on how to ease my worries?

    Re: how are you feeling?

    Have you seen a doctor? Perhaps a sonogram would ease your worries.

     As for day-to-day stress, yoga, warm baths, sitting quietly with a cup of (decaf) tea, or even going by yourself for a pedicure.  Hang in there!

    Re: how are you feeling?

    This is my very first pregnancy. I am 6 weeks and 5 days. I haven't been feeling all that great. I get really nauseous at random times throughout the day, but I haven't thrown up......yet. I'm bloated, gassy, my boobs hurt like never before, and all I want to do is sleep. Ahhhh....pregnancy. Stick out tongue

    Congrats!  I'm too feeling the same way and i'm on #2.  Ur feelings are totally normal. Try eating things with ginger, mint, saltenines, the cool weather seems to be helping me a bit.  Gas X seems to help me alot with the gassy/bloated feeling. Also snack all day and make your meals small that should help too.

    Feel good. I know it stinks at the moment but when your little boo arrives you would say that was nothing, let do it again!

    Re: how are you feeling?

    I feel the same way you do Candee. My stomach gets way upset but I don't throw up and it really irritates me. My fiancee really wants to play with the two excruciatingly painful lumps on my chest and that irritates me worse than the nausea. It's really nice to hear that you all are having the same fears and symptoms as me tho. It makes me feel a lot better about it and is going to make this whole process easier. Oh, one other complaint while I'm at it...... I am in the Army and I can't do up the top button on my pants. It makes me feel huge. My belly isnt too big yet but at my hips are spreading fast. Tongue Tied Lol we will all get through it tho.

    Re: how are you feeling?

    young1, I think you and I are exactly the same in terms of how far along we are. When you said up there that you were 6 weeks and 2 days on the 7th, that's the same as me!!! I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow (saturday the 12th.) I'm suppose to be due August 30, 2008. I've already gained about 4 pounds even though I'm really eating healthy! I'm not showing yet, but my pants are getting a bit snug in the waist!

    Re: how are you feeling?

    It seems like I am feeling like everyone else.  I have been getting very nauseous, but hadn't thrown up until last night.  I think it was because I ate something that didn't agree with me, though.  Mostly, I am very tired and have loss of appetite.  I am having to force myself to eat because I know that the baby needs nutrition.  I have been making sure to have fruit and healthy snacks around me all the time so that I can force something down every few hours to keep my energy up.  Other than that, I am feeling pretty good.My Dr says that everything is fine and that it is normal to loose a couple of pounds in the first trimester.  I should be getting some of my appetite back in the next few weeks. 

     

    Live life to the fullest.

    Re: how are you feeling?

    That is so exciting to meet someone due on the same day as me! I can't wait to find out the sex even though I know I can't for a while. I went to my first appointment last week and just had my blood work done and stuff. I am getting my first ultrasound on Tuesday (the 15th), so I'm really excited about that. The Dr. called and told me my bloodwork all looks great except that I am RH negative which means my blood may be incompatible with my babies blood and I have to get a shot at 28 weeks so I don't create antibodies in the event our blood gets mixed. I don't like shots. bleh.

    Re: how are you feeling?

    wow thats not good. I dont like shots either but you kinda get used to them being the military. I am kinda upset that I have to wait so long for everything with mine. When I first found out I was pregnant I had gone to the doctor cuz I had a yeast infection and the doctor wouldnt give me anything for it cuz the test came back positive. I had to suffer for about a week when finally I stormed into my doctors office and told them that they needed to do something for me or I was going to throw a fit right there in their office. Lol finally she told me I could take Monostat 7 but it was horrible until then. And then I told them I was having alot of pain that I wasn't sure was normal and the soonest they could get me is on friday the 19th. So it hasn't been a great experience so far but hopefully it will get better. I hope your appointment goes well. You should post a picture of the ultra sound and I'll do the same when I have mine.
