I am 17 weeks and 6 days as of right now! I am going in for my Ultrasound on September 20th and I absolutly can't wait! This is my third pregnancy-second child. My son was born on March 5th of 2005 and the baby is due February 14th of 2011! I am excited and nervous and everything in between! I feel really lucky b/c my partner is extremely suportive and possibly even more excited than I am!

I was just wondering how everyone was feeling and what everyone is going through? I have all these crazy pregnancy emotions...sometimes I don't know which way is up and which is down! I have moved past the not being able to eat ne thing b/c the sound of food makes me nauseous part of my pregnancy! BUT I have to get up and pee EVERY NIGHT! None of my clothes fit and I don' t really like maternity pants! OH AND WHAT IS UP WITH MATERNITY SHIRTS! Everything needs and under shirt! It is either see right through it or it is lower cut then ne thing I EVER wore when I was single and NOT pregnant! It is really frustrating! I was also wondering if ne one knew what they were having yet! I can't wait to start buying baby clothes! So far we have little things that don't matter what color they are and the car seat, stroller, and pack 'n play...but we have been waiting to be in the clear before we bought really even those things! How is everyone sleeping? I am really sick of sleeping on one side or the other and tossing and turning all night long b/c I can only be comfortable on one side for so long!

I am excited about this journey with all you other February 2011 mamas! I really need someone to talk to b/c the 2 ppl I know who are pregnant are having their babies this month. My sister had her baby in February of this year and my best friend had her baby in April of this year. Once you've had your baby and your are living in baby bliss...you kinda forget what your pregnancy really was like...so it will be nice to have people going through it at the same time!

I really hope that things start to get better for you! Also I wish there was a way for all of us to sleep! Well some how I got my pants on and buttoned today but every time I sit I can feel the pressure on my stomach. I got a belly band from Motherhood...it was the best thing that I have gotten so far. When I am not wearing it to keep my pants up! I pull it up as a tube top for an undershirt for the shirts that are way too revealing! And I understand the smell thing...I can smell everything and it drives me insane and is the only thing that makes me sick these days. Well good luck and I really hope that you start to feel better.

Hello! I'm due feb 10th and this is my 2nd child. I go tomorrow for the 20 wk appointment and the ultrasound is sometime this week or early next. I have had the worst trouble with insomnia this time. I havent been able to wear my regular clothes in a while. My pants still zip but I can't button them. I have had the hardest time with finding maternity shirts. I was some that look nice but not too revealing. I still have trouble with morning sickness so I am on medicine for that otherwise I'd still be "getting sick" every day. Smells are the worst thing right now. Things that would never bother me make me sick now and I hate it. I'm hoping all this gets better soon. I am sooooo glad my pregnancy with my daughter wasn't this bad. lol Hope you feel better soon.

I totally understand. I went through a miscarriage that ended a relationship. It wasn't the miscarriage itself...I just became extremely depressed, I didn't talk to people, I just stopped being the person i was before. I ended up losing my job and someone that I had thought I cared about! It has been a tough road since then. I have been very nervous about telling ne one...even both of our families. I haven't talked to my son about it yet b/c he is 5 and he REALLY wants a brother or a sister and I don't want to get his hopes up and have them crushed. I have been slowly been relaxing about this pregnancy. I finally felt like it was safe to get the car seat and stroller and the pak n play...which was a really big step for me and was really fun! My partner is extremely excited and has all of these ideas and things he wants...drives me crazy some times. I just want to slow down, take a step back, and breath! i know about sleeping too...I feel like the baby is more on the right side alread and when I lay on my right side it is extremely uncomfortable and feels like I am laying on the baby...eh! I so badly want to sleep on the couch but my bed is so much more comfortable when I do sleep.
I understand wanting a girl since you have a boy! A boy and a girl is just so perfect! I always tell people they are so lucky when they have one boy and one girl...you just can't go wrong. I do want to buy little girl things just b/c there is so much more and it is SO much cuter! but girls in my family don't really seem to get along...I kind of hope for a boy just b/c I am afraid...but I almost want a girl b/c I don't really care that much for the boy name we have and I LOVE the girl name that we have picked out...that and I secretly don't want my partner to have a satisfaction of having a boy...I know it is horrible of me but he wants a boy REALLY bad!
I luckily haven't had ne problems with indigestion...and unfortunatly that doesn't mean that I wont. I feel like I have had everything else so far so I might just end up having problems with that too!

Hi i'm due on the 13 feb and this is my second pregnancy but i can't get myself to excited or get anything done yet, because of a previous missed M/C. there's allway's that thought if everything is ok but as time goes bye i think i'm relaxing a bit more now that i had alot of kicks for the first time in one day. I too can't seem to get comfortable either i seem to like my left side better but because my partner faces me when he sleep i can't stand the smell of his smoke breath, lol i find myself sleeping on the couch because of that plus i find for some reason i get nauseous when i sleep on my right side or i'm tossing & turning, so what can i do acept sleep in the most comfortable place. i can't wait till we find out but i'm not rushing because it cost alot every time i have to have a scan, i'm gonna wait till i'm 21 weeks witch will be the 20 week scan but i'm hoping for a girl since i have a boy that's the dream everyone wan't but i will acept what ever it will be. I can't believe i am getting indigestion already it is bad sometimes i didn't think u could get it this early but you take it in. i haven't got any friends who r pregnant either all mine have had there's this year so it's good to talk with others February mum's to.
