(lack of response from having no internet )

i'll be glad to get rid of this heartburn, it did go away for a week or two but then came back full force :?

i'm now starting to have my appointments every 2 weeks and we've already started the classes, is anyone else taking any classes???

 

[Lissa]

I have my first class next week, and another next month. The one this month is called "Caring For Your Newborn." The one next month is a Childbirth Preparation class.

 

[brandy563]

you're not having a class every week??? i have one every week for 7 weeks. and yeah those were the names for my first two classes, my 3rd one is this wednesday, and on the 6th one we get a tour of the hospital

I actually saw myself in a mirror from the neck down for the first time in weeks today. oh my am I huge. huge!!! 'tis for a good cause I suppose. :?

I know how you feel. I have gained 26 pounds so far and I'm only 28 weeks. :shock:

I feel like a house. Wait a minute....technically I AM a house, since there is someone livinginside me.

I'm 26 weeks..and I've gained about 20 pounds, add a pound or lose a pound. But, atleast I'm finally gaining weight..cause at first I lost a lot.

 

[mskoala]

as of last wed. I was at about 30lbs. That was at 36 weeks.

I s hould add though, that I was chubby to start with, so I'm in a good range.

Lissa, you are pretty tiny to start with, so I'd think you're at a good weight gain amt.

Not sure this counts here, but I became a grandma for the first time April 25th. My darling little grandson is named Michael he was 8lbs 5oz and 19.5 inches long. And thanks to my step-daughter I'm a grandma at age 35y/o hehe.

Surprisingly, the doctor wasn't concerned about my weight gain. I guess it's normal. *shrugs* It just gets depressing gaining 7 pounds each month. You know?

Good news....I got the tests back and I don't have gestational diabetes and my iron levels are good. :bunnydance:

That's great! Plus, remember that the weight is for an excellent reason.

I actually weigh as much as Tim, which is scary :shock:. But, oh well.

Anyone else having a hard time breathing? I've been gasping for air for over 24 hours now. I hope I don't pass out.

 

[nermal71]

Hon coming from someone who has had 3 children, I really think you need to call your doctor.

I did. She said it's normal. It's because my diaphram is being pushed up against and my lungs are crowded. Quite common in pregnancy I guess.

 

[nermal71]

Good thing you called. I guess it's always better to be safe than sorry. I never had problems breathing. I just had bruised lungs, ribs, kidney and bladder due to the fact that my now 15y/o son beat the snot out of me from about 7 months till delivery. And to think he is still just as active. Learned to walk by 9 m/o, run 2 days later and hasn't stopped moving or talking since:shock2:

 

[mskoala]

I had trouble breathing for a little bit, I kept having to lean back in my chair to breath somewhat normally. My guy has dropped a bit now, so breathing really isn't a problem. Still have heartburn something fierce t hough. And alot of contractions today. Luckily I have an appt. in a couple hours, so I can make sure they're just b/h. :elephant:

I'm having terrible heartburn today! Ahhh! Nothing helps either.

don't know if yo u're drinkig it, but you could try laying off the coffee and orange juice. Those two are killers for me.

Water gives me heartburn. Seriously. I had toast with margarine and a banana for breakfast and I have heartburn. Everything gives me heartburn.
