Re: PREGNANCY 2010!
I believe your thread will receive more suitable responses here.
Re: PREGNANCY 2010!
hi!
its my first pregnancy & inshallah im due end of may (nearly 6 weeks to go)!
its been a roller coaster of a ride, first 4 months were awful, then came the 'cnt stop eating' months, now i feel like a hippo & am finding it hard to breathe... overall its been amazing seeing my body change, seeing my baby in the scans & watching/feeling him/her move about..cant wait to hold bubz in my arms.. however the thought of labour frightens the daylights out of me!
Re: PREGNANCY 2010!
This is my second one, I’m only 9 weeks along… have my first pre-natal appointment on Monday, totally excited about the ultrasound and dreading the blood-drawing & Pap smear 
. I’ve been throwing up now and then, some days are better than others. And I’m soooo bloated around my waist and tummy ugh… no bump, all bloat.
Re: PREGNANCY 2010!
Hi Girls,
Congratulations! :)
Its so good to hear about what others are going through?
So Aishii, not long to go now! :) Im reeeeally excited and just can NOT wait for my little baby to arrive.....I just hope its going to be healthy - thats the only major thing that keeps bugging me.....
This is also my first pregnancy....im 17 weeks now, cant believe hopw quickly time is going by. Ive had my first scan and it was soo emotional for myself and hubby to hear our baby's heartbeat ant to see it on screen...I CANT wait for the second scan :)
Do you know what your having?? Did you find out?
Im planning to find out inshallah.....
MIAinVA - LOL, i know how you feel about the belly!! I feel HUGE too and its the belly!! Sometimes i dont know if its mainly fat or the baby! :) dreading getting bigger.....
I've been okay with the sickness....I have had it every now and again and its horrible when I do.
Ive totally gone off certain foods - I used to LOVE sweet stuff and now I cant stand it.......First it was the extreme levels of tiredness, then came the sickness, then came me not being able to stand any smells, and now its this weird taste that I get in my mouth after eating :(
Re: PREGNANCY 2010!
oh, and I know this is really bad, but I have not been eating any healthy stuff at all, like fruit or vegs or even drinking milk!!!
I feel soooo bad that i dont eat and drink good stuff, but I have soo much going on that I havent been able to focus on being healthy....
I was taking a multi-vitamin, but havent taken them for the past month now......My multivits contained folic acid, which you are supposed to take take up until 12weeks, but what i dont know is whether you should carry on taking the high levels of folic after the 12 weeks??
Does anyone know??
Re: PREGNANCY 2010!
Congrats to you too Shaazy :)
I think its just mainly bloat right now, not even fat (yeah, I'm kidding myself) :p It gets better when its just your belly that grows.... and you know its the baby growing.
Thank God, I haven't had the aversion to smells yet, I am exhausted all the time though..... especially mid-afternoon and evenings around 6:00, lets see if it gets better later.
Are you planning on finding out if its a boy or a girl?

At least take some fruits, you don't want to get constipated... thats the most horrible problem that can occur during pregnancy. Milk is good for getting calcium, you know pregnancy and baby take a huge toll on your body, i found out the hard way.... my wrists started hurting towards the end of my first pregnancy .... it was actually my bones.... bad bad experience. And you don't want to end up with Osteoporosis later in life, right..... if you can't drink milk, ask your OB/GYN about taking calcium supplements.
I'm currently taking prenatal vitamins and will continue to do so even after having the baby as I'm planning on breastfeeding and I don't want to experience the lethargy and weakness I felt with my first baby since I had stopped taking them after the first trimester. I would recommend you do the same, keep taking them.... they are good for you, baby takes a lot of nutrition from you while its developing so you definitely need them.
Re: PREGNANCY 2010!
hi again girls
congrats on ur pregnancies! may Allah make it easy for u..
i'm nearly 35 weeks!! i cant believe it! im really really scared of labour now & have started having more frequent midwife apps- which r fun as i get to hear bubzys heartbeat.. baby moves around soo much now & i can see it- trust me wen u get to this stage ul b even more excited
i remember the scans- bought the fotos, cired both times! its amazing that theres a baby growing inside.
i didnt find out the sex- i reaaalllllllllllyyy wanted to but my husband insisted that as it was the first its more fun to keep it a surprise so i had to give in- which was sooo hard for me, but its been so much fun guessing.
i was the same, i just wanted to eat junk food, its only wen i was in week 22 that i started eating fruits & vegs & started drinking milk- out of fear that my baby wont b healthy.
im anaemic so i have to take iron tablets & folic acid & have been told to take them till the end of the preg- so maybe u shud ask ur midwife?
tiredness, cramps, indigestion, not being able to sleep, breathlessness, weight gain these r just a few things u have to look forward to! but day by day the excitement is building up & i cant wait to be a mum :-)
i pray all goes well for all the mums to b xx
Re: PREGNANCY 2010!
I am 10 weeks with baby # 3 (still can’t believe there’s gonna be another little one 
). Can’t eat fruits, vegetable or drink milk. I am nauseous and sick allllll the time and very very HUNGRY!
I havn’t cleaned my house properly in a while and honestly I don’t even care. :o
Hoping nausea will come down a notch in the next coming weeks although with the previous pregnancies it never went away the whole nine months.
Re: PREGNANCY 2010!
Congrats to you too aishi 
So how are you managing with the shopping? Buying all neutral colors, haan?
Congrats Sajalina, the third one… wow! I want to have 3 kids too
I’ve been feeling the nausea, but I just keep stuffing myself 
and it seems to help with the nausea… ginger ale also helps A LOT. I feel it only when I have an empty stomach. I’m not too regular with milk but I’m eating a lot of fruits and green leafy salads… I think I’m having a better time this round … it was pretty bad with my first pregnancy, so I’m happy that at least I’m trying to eat healthier. With my first one, I either didn’t eat enough or I ate junk food, she was born healthy mashaAllah but I suffered … lots of aches/pains and weakness/lethargy… also took me a long time to recover form the episiotomy 
I believe the baby gets all the nutrition it needs form your body and you’re just left with nothing then, so it is definitely important to eat properly, for your sake.
Re: PREGNANCY 2010!
Sajalina ur preggers???
I seriously can’t eat the healthy stuff. Will try in the next coming months though.
What did you make out of the phone conversation where I told you someone you knew was pregnant? Stop faking it and get ready to change some diapers. 
i thought you were joking… I aint changing no diapers… ever!!!
This is my first preganancy aswell, Im due in August inshallah
I got pregnant soon after I got married … don’t know if I was ready or not .. but I don’t regret a thing! I fell in love with this little angel as soon as I knew I was expecting.
The first trimester was hell!! I couldnt even eat anything, not even drink anything cos I’d throw up right away .. I mean even if I only had water I’d throw up .. it was THAT bad! 
Lost a whole lotta weight and felt miserable Then fatigue struck me badly, couldnt even get outta bed in the mornings .. thank god for that understanding hubby of mine 
He had to do all the cooking and cleaning the first few months, hehe
Now in the 2nd trimester im feeling muchhhh better mA I’m 22 weeks, and Im enjoying everything pregnancy has to offer .. the baby kicks are the best thing in the world!!! 
omg soo many of us! yay :) i'm due in late november and i just went through the first pregnancy scare yesterday. apparently nurse measured my hcg levels to confirm that i'm expecting but they came back ridiculously high. so they all got worried cuz it could either be twins or some reallllly bad news :( so i had my first ultrasound this morning and i guess it was just a scare cuz there was a good heartbeat and everything seemed normal and no twins. lol. i've yet to hear from the my actual obgyn about it but the tech said everything is fine and no need to worry so i'm just letting that soothe me for now :) it was sooo amazing to see the heart beating for the first time i'm so happy to be going through this experience. oh and the whole debate over "we should tell everyone we know" vs. "we should wait til 3-4 months" is a regular discussion in our house. in the process tho, MIL has told half the freakin extended family and now i'm mad. but it doesn't matter when it comes to the big picture soo i'm happy and just letting small things like that slip :)
Re: PREGNANCY 2010!
I'm predicting Sajal will be having twin boys.... my womanly intuition is always right... ALWAYS!
Re: PREGNANCY 2010!
