23 weeks, 3 days. Finally back to my pre-pregnancy weight, baby is doing well, if the belly squirms are any indication. Hint: my husband wants to change the baby's nickname from "Grapple Loader" to "Pack of Starving Weasels ( Read more... )

I was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience to mine. I am 19 weeks along with #4, and anytime I roll onto my side to sleep, the baby pushes against my sides actively as if i am squishing them and need to roll over.

I am at 35w+6 and at the end of my rope. This kid moves SO MUCH that I can't get any peace or sleep. All my friends with kids are like "Get sleep now while you can", but it's next to impossible! All night long it is spinning and kneading and rolling and stretching....Murder ( Read more... )

I'm having a terrible time with mood swings lately. I'm 27 weeks along today. It's so bad that I'm just screaming at my family for every little thing, I can tell it's starting to strain my marriage. We've been together for 14 years and we're just under 3 months away from our ten year wedding anniversary--and today I made him so mad he had to go out ( Read more... )

hi ladies, I'm new to the community and new to being pregnant at only 4 weeks.  My biggest issue right now is sleep!  I am exhausted by about 7 at night and have no trouble getting to sleep but then I am up within a few hours.  Most of the time I'm up for 2 or 3 hours in the middle of the night or cannot go back to sleep at all.  I was trying to do ( Read more... )

Seriously, I think this sleeping on my side thing is going to be the death of me. I wake up after four hours with tremendous lower back pain and I can't go back to sleep. (I'm usually a back sleeper, but my doc recommended I switch to my side while pregnant ( Read more... )
