different pregnancy

This is my forth pregnancy. I already have 3 beautiful girls and my fourth is going to be a boy. I have been very happy this pregnancy and very healthy. I have lost 10 kilos and have not had any mood swings as I did when pregnant with my girls.

There are 6 years between this pregnancy and my youngest daughter. I did not think I could have any more children after I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. My doctor told me to lose 20 kilo and I would fall pregnant again naturally but I wasn’t getting periods; then I was at work one day and I felt like I had my period so I went to the toilet and I herd a splash in the toilet.

It was a blood clot so I freaked and thought I had a miscarriage. I then went to the doctors and explained what had happened. She did a test and it came back positive she said you were pregnant but sounds like you had a miscarriage. I explained that I didn’t even know I was pregnant.

She sent me for an ultrasound and when I was having my ultrasound the doctor turned to me and said that there was a heart beat. I could not believe it.

Now I am 31 weeks and am having a healthy boy. It’s a miracle.

Thank you for reading my story.

2nd pregnancy

I'm 27 weeks pregnant, so I suppose that's the 3rd trimester. People at work ask me if I'm excited about the baby coming, but I don't usually get excited about things. I’m looking forward to it for sure but as far as being excited, I don't know. I'm not overly excited about it but I'm definitely looking forward to staying at home and taking care of the baby.

It's also a scary time for me because my first baby died of SIDS and this baby will be on a monitor, which will probably be kind of difficult. I haven't bought any baby clothes yet maybe my mom has bought some. Who knows?

Anyways, I feel the physical effects more than usual, the baby is moving a lot more than normal, and I feel pain when I try to reach down and tie my shoes. Even putting on pants is not as easy as it was to do.

Are we there yet?!?

I'm just starting my 33rd week of pregnancy and I'm really ready to be done! This pregnancy was completely unplanned as I was on the pill, well obviously things happen for a reason. In the beginning I was bleeding on and off, pretty much right after I found out I was preggo, but fortunately it was only implantation bleeding and this lil guy is here to stay!

The father left us in the beginning as he was not ready for a child yet, well I'm sorry to inconvenience him (heavy sarcasm) but, he's giving up on an amazing life with his son! My mother has been an excellent support for me, I couldn't ask for anyone better!

I have taken this week off work due to increased blood pressure, etc. I'm sick of it already! I have no motivation to do anything around my house, and the snow is keeping me from doing anything outside, I feel like a pregnant prisoner!!

Now I just try to remember I'm in the home stretch, I can't wait to hold my son in my arms and see who I've been carrying around for all this time! I'm sure going to miss having him inside of me! I'm not good at sharing, so it's nice to have him all to myself right now, feeling his kicks and hiccups! Soon... very soon...

My first baby

I'm expected to give birth to my first child in a few weeks time. This is a very new experience for me, as I have never handled a child before.

I am so scared in the beginning (well, all the nausea, cravings, cramps, weight gain, etc) plus the birth stories, complications, and future responsibilities awaits me in this near future, makes me nervous and excited all in the same time!

With few weeks to go, I am all set for the arrival of my first baby. I can't wait to hold him (yes, it's a boy!). It's sound obsessive? Yup!

my husband thinks i am lazy

I’m in my 34th week of pregnancy and I feel so helpless as I am so heavy. I have a two year old that has tons of energy and there are days that I don’t want to think of anything besides sleeping or resting. My husband works and he says I am lazy if I rest or lie down. Sometimes it hurts my feelings as I am not lazy, in fact I hate being lazy and am so into cleaning and loving a clean house, but now I really don’t care...

I am slow at everything and it gets hot here at times. When I had Gracie it was really nice. I enjoyed my pregnancy as I could eat and sleep wherever I wanted and my husband did not complain about it. I have no help with family and friends and this can get me down. We have been in Australia for 1 year now. I am excited about this baby and afraid.

I think its only hitting me now that we will have another member in the family...I hope that reality will kick in soon.... I have also developed big varicose veins on my vulva and on my right leg. It gets painful at times, but I am too tired to think about it...sometimes I think no more babies as I just get too big and really get bad back aches and I don’t like to complain.

Anyway they are such a wonderful gift that it seems all worthwhile at the end.
