my baby storyHi moms to be! I’m 21yrs old. I’m 24 weeks and 2 days. Right now my baby is moving a lot. Makes me smile all the time. I don't know if it is a boy or girl cause the last u/s I took, baby keeps on hiding it. 1st with one feet, 2nd with both feet and lastly both hands are assisting baby’s legs so it won't stretch out. But people think its a boy cause baby kicks hard, heartbeat is faster than seconds and my neck is starting to darken.^_^ Anyway, my boyfriend and I broke up last august and got back together the same month. (Weird! hehe) Sept came I got my period; then by October I was worried. I told my boyfriend but he said it would come, that it was delayed, but it didn't. November came I started to have abdominal cramps, which felt like dysmenorrhea. I had to go home so I can rest properly cause it has been 2 straight weeks since it started. My officemate assisted me to go to a drug store. But instead of buying meds, I bought a pregnancy test. Around 4 am (I work at a call center night shift at the time), it came out positive. I was so happy. That morning, I let my bf eat 1st, cause I didn’t know how he'd react. So instead of saying anything, I told him via text message. His face looked puzzled at 1st then he looked at me and smiled. He just graduated last Oct, 2006 form college so obviously he was just starting to look for a job. But luckily he soon got one. I told my mom in December and she was delighted. Same with my boyfriend’s mom but we told her January of this year. Baby is the 1st grand child on both sides (lucky baby!) Everyone is excited to see who baby looks like. A lot of my friends want to be the god-father/mother. Its so much fun having to go through pregnancy with all the support I’m getting from my loved ones. After a year from the time I give birth (due date July 14, 2007), I’ll be a working student so I can give my baby a better future!! Well that’s my story. kitchie ExcitedI had a doubt about my pregnancy in December 2006, but took a test on 1st Jan 2007. To my surprise I was really pregnant. I went for my first checkup and heard my baby's heartbeat. Now I am 18 weeks pregnant and my baby is moving a lot sometimes. I went for my usual checkup and he is a boy, just like his father. Whenever I speak to his father he moves a lot, and also when he is hungry he keeps moving. I just love him so much, and the doctor while checking the sex they showed me his private part and I burst out laughing with joy. I am just waiting for my son to come soon. Simona NATALIE'S BABY STORY!Wow.... What a pregnancy I’m having. Well today I heard the babies heartbeat and it was 152. (HOW EXCITING).I’ve been having a pretty hard pregnancy, but I know it all be worth it. I've been having complications, bleeding, and a lot of stress. Other than that it's been okay. My ultrasounds are the best thing, next week Tuesday I get my first real ultrasound and find out what I’m having. I have also been having aches and pains but they go away pretty easily. Well that's pretty much my second trimester pregnancy. Natalie Scared to deathI'm new at this so bear with me. I’m a 30-year-old single mother of 3 girls. In fact I guess you could say I’ve been a mom half my life. I had my first daughter when I was 16.My youngest is now 6.I'm 18 weeks and 3 days pregnant with number 4. I tried to get pregnant for 3 years but problems with my ovaries prevented it, so I just quit trying. To make a long story short I had my right ovary and tube removed. Well, a year later I start having same pains and symptoms. I go to Dr to discuss having the left side done and I'm pregnant. WOW I was so excited. I called the father and he demanded abortion. I refused and he started to come around a little but still hasn't told his mother and that hurts me. I just feel this is my miracle baby and pray that all goes ok. I've been having awful dreams. I’m so scared something will go wrong that I haven't bought anything. Mandy miracle babyI was forced to have sex and 2 weeks later I found out I was pregnant... I classed it as the worst day of my life but soon found out it was the best day.I had a lot of problems through out my pregnancy due to stress cause of the trauma I had just been through and how the baby was conceived. At 18 weeks I had my 1st ultrasound and the doctor told me I was having a boy. I was so excited but there was 1 problem: the baby’s blood was fighting against mine and I was really sick. When I was 5 a half months pregnant I went into labour. I got taken straight to the hospital at Fairfield and had my baby. It turned out she was a girl, which kind of disappointed me in a way. She weighed 870g and I called her Filicity. Doctors said she probably wouldn’t make it. We both got rushed to Westmeed hospital due to her conditions and she stayed there for the 1st 4 months of her life and now she is 15 months; not walking yet but on the road to recovery, with minor problems and the most beautiful thing on earth. I can’t believe she survived everyone said she wouldn’t but I had faith. I hardly looked pregnant no one believed me until I gave birth.
