Hopin' that is huge! But it certainly understandable that you would be measuring so big with three in there!

Well I am not having more than 4 an hour, but I had them 2 times today. The first was more like a cluster of several over 20 minutes then gone. I think I need to drink more water in the morning. hopefully that will keep them a little quieter. They are just a little disconcerting that's all.

Shellie, I am sorry you are sick. Colds suck even when you aren't pregnant.

Claudia- My anatomy scan will be on May 27th. I don't think I have updated that yet.

Celeste- Yes at times I am definitely backed up. I am taking stool softners about 2 times a week. I don't want to take them excessively. I felt something again yesterday, I was at work and I kinda of leaned over just a little and I felt my lower, lower abdomen tighten or ball up. Was that the baby or a bh contraction? I smiled and laughed outloud because I think it was the baby doing a somersault!! It was an unusual feeling to say the least!!

Wow, I really feel for you ladies with multiples. I feel huge and I only have one!! I couldn't imagine measuring 30 weeks and still having 20 or so more weeks to go. You ladies are great!!!

HOpe you all have a good day.

[mum2abbylily]

Sorry I've been gone a while.... my mum has been over visitng from the UK for the last few weeks so I've been pretty busy with her!

I can't imagine what it must be like for you ladies with multiples.... I am much bigger than I was with dd, no hiding the belly anymore now! But, there's only one in there, and fortunately I'm having an easy time of it. Just take care of yourselves and those little ones!

Are you ladies gaining weight ok? I took a while to get started, but now at 19 weeks I've gained 10/11 pounds!

Can't wait to hear about the gender scans!!!!

[fossie]

Ok, major TMI question. Went I went to the bathroom this morning and had a ** I had some bleeding - is this hemorrhoids?

[Eriksgirl19]

Fossie - sounds like it could be hemmoroids. A close friend of mine had them really bad with her pregnancy last year & she said they caused bleeding. No fun! I hope they go away!!

Celeste - WISHING YOU A WONDERFUL APPOINTMENT TODAY! I can't wait to hear about your 2 little ones!!

[hopin4baby]

good morning ladies.
yeah im having trouble getting up, when my dh is here at home he helps me to get up and do house work. my mom wont let get up and answer the phone. cant sleep that much but naps are so good.
celeste cant wait to hear about your anatomy scan today.

[ara79]

hey ladies! sorry i haven't been around much lately. things have been busy at work and in life. i hope everyone is doing good. how exciting that in the next 3 weeks we will have lots of PINK or BLUE news?!

fossie, it may be hemmeroids or just some irritation caused by constipation. how bad was the bleeding? are you going to call you dr?

celeste, good luck today!!

everyone carrying multiples, hang in there! you are all such troopers!

about the weight gain, i am 15 weeks and have gained 5 pounds. is that about right for a singleton pregnancy? 2 poeple i work with made comments that i am showing early, which i thought was rude, but i don't care, i love my growing belly!

i have my next appt in one week from today and i will be 16 weeks. it's not my gender scan appt, but i am HOPING that they can tell! if not, i will schedule my gender scan within 2-3 weeks of that appt. i cannot wait! i am still thinking girl, but who knows!

[fossie]

Amy - sounds like you are right on track. From what I have heard in a singleton pregnancy you are supposed to gain about 5 pounds in the first trimester and then a pound a week or so after that. I definitely think it is normal to be showing at this point!!! I go to the doctor on Tuesday so I will probably wait and say something then unless it gets worse. It wasn't too bad, just a little actually - I'm just embarrassed to admit that I still check the tp EVERY time I go to the bathroom and it freaked me out but I made sure I knew where it was coming from (blush) and I am not nearly as concerned now!

[ara79]

lol shellie...i do the same thing! funny thing, just a minute ago i went and looked at the tp and saw red!!! turned out to be a little red fuz, i guess from the top i am wearing!

[CatIz1]

Hello everyone,

Celeste - can't wait to hear what your having. Good luck today.

Fossie it sounds like hemmeroids - hope they go away.

I've gained about a total of 6 pounds so far. Glad it's not more since I was about 20 pounds overweight when I got pregnant.

Hope everyone has a great rest of the week. Can't wait to hear about all the gender scans.

[fossie]

Amy - I swear it'll give you a mini heart-attack. I was wearing red underwear one time and has some fuzz and about had a breakdown!

I have no idea how much I have officially gained since I lost initially and then by the time I went to my first ob appt. and started to put it back on but according to the docs measurements I have gained about 10 and I am figuring that is really about 15 or even more since I lost about that at the beginning. I am supposed to be at 18 or so, so I think I am on-track. I definitely gained some weight with all the treatments - I'm really hoping I get back down to pre-treatment weight after the birth, not just what I was in January!!!

[norcal]

hey Claudia - add me on for a gender scan May 14th

Glad to hear you ladies are doing well

[blaze6333]

My last Ob appt I was 17 weeks and he said I was at the 10 lb mark in gaining and that at that point they like to see around 8. So I was over 2 lbs at that time. I hope I can keep it under control from now on.

Celeste- Good Luck today, I can't wait to hear the news!!!!

[fossie]

Celeste - how did it go, were they able to tell? Tracy and Laura - keep us posted today!!!
