First Baby Boy!

I'm 16 and having my first baby boy, and hopefully the only one for a long time! I'm so excited about having my little one because I always thought that I could never have children. I'm 36 weeks pregnant and I'm ready to have him, my body is killing me and I hate feeling like this even though when my baby starts moving changes everything! I love to feel him kick, but when he gets the hiccupps, then I don't like those because they make me feel kind of sick. I hope that he hurries up and comes and so I can meet him and do everything a mother wants to do with her child, Love him! I already love my baby and even though his father and I aren't together anymore, I know that his dad loves him almost as much as I do. All I'm scared about is that something might go wrong since I am a pretty small person (before getting pregnant, I weighed 96 pounds!) and it just doesnt seem possible for me to have a vaginal birth. I'm afraid of getting a C-section since it is a major surgery and I just don't ever want to get cut open for anything, of course, unless it's a must to get my baby out! Well I'm going to stop so I don't get anyone else bored with this long story!

2 year pregnancy!!

I'm in my 33rd week of pregnancy and I feel like I'm going to go crazy waiting for the last 5 weeks! My son is almost 11 months, he was born last August and I am now due again this August!! I realize now that I had it easy the first time around, I could eat, sleep whenever I wanted, but with a baby who is now crawling and getting into everything there is no time for rest even on the days my feet and legs are so swollen I can barely walk. My husband is helpful at times, but I am still the main caretaker due to him having to work and pay all the bills, well and not doing things the way I do them, so then throwing a fit and just doing it myself anyways:-) It is soooo hard right now, I feel like the day is never going to get here. I am scheduled for my c-section in 5 weeks due to the fact my first one was too big and had to have one with him. I keep hoping he will come early even though I know it's healthier if he doesn't, anyone else feel that way?

First baby

I am 24 and having my first baby. It is a boy, which is really weird for me to say. I realize there is something living inside me, but it is crazy to think that this little baby boy is going to come out of me. I am 31 weeks, and the time is going by so fast. I am of course nervous about the labor and delivery, but I was lucky enough to see a friend have her daughter and it helps me realize that I am going to be fine. I sit and worry about it, but I have learned that you just take things as they come. There is no stopping now, and I can't wait to see what he looks like.

3rd Pregnancy..and very different

I'll have 4 wks left this Saturday and time is ticking very slow for me.

My 3rd trimester has been the worst for me. I have 2 girls now and while pregnant with them, I experienced little to no complication or discomforts. Actually, the books I read about what to expect, were the total opposite for me. 6 years later, finally pregnant with a boy....all the books that I couldn't relate to then.....is exactly what I'm going through now.
I've had terrible pelvic pressure from my 5th month on. This past weekend it was so bad that I couldn't get up and walk. When I visited the Doctor the next day, he really didn't have anything new to say to me about it.
Sleep....forget about it!! I toss and turn about 50 times a night and its very painful each time I move. Laying on either side causes this weird pain underneath my left breast. When I finally sleep, my husband tells me that I've been snoring loud and hard. I've experienced a lot of sleepless nights as well, staying up til 4:30 a.m and having to work at 8.
All in all..it's been hell. My son is definitely making a grand entrance and letting us all know a knew sherriff is coming!
4 weeks seem like a year away and we're all hoping for an early arrival.

Second Time around

Hi there.... I'm 31 weeks pregnant on Baby #2. My son is now 5 years old and I remember feeling absolutely great with his pregnancy. However, the second has been good, if it wasn't for the nausea, the nosebleeds and the breaking out! What's that all about...?

Anyway, after having my ultrasound, we found out we were having a girl, so she's the one giving the attitude! LOL

My fear with my first as well as this one, is if and when my water will break! With my son, I was induced a week early because they thought he may be too big. He was born at 7lbs. 7 oz. which was actually very relieving considering my husband and parents were all 10 pounders.... However, that fear still sits in with this one and along with that, I feel that I'm in denial....

Don't get me wrong, I know I'm pregnant, I know I'm having baby #2, and it's a girl, but I can't believe it's actually happening! and I'm only 9 weeks away! When will it sink in? LOL Does anyone feel that way? I'm happy and excited to see her, but I feel so weird going from one child to two!
