I just thought that it would be fun to talk about pregnancy, and find out how everyone else is doing during their pregnancy.. Maybe say what child you are pregnant with and maybe a little story... I will go first..

I am 24 weeks pregnant, and I am due in May. This is our second and last child.I am going to be having C-section with this baby, as I did with my first child. We found out that we are having a boy and his name is Zachary William. I have GD and I got it early with this pregnancy as my last pregnancy I got it later in the pregnancy. I am starting to gain water now and I am worried that the same thing that happened with my first pregnancy will happen again. I did get GD while I was pregnant with my other Son, and then I got tons of water weight gain, and then I got high blood pressure and I ended up having toxemia and it was so bad that they were worried that I was going to die. They have me on a closer watch, but it is still scary how fast things can sneak up on you.. My blood sugars are way out of wack, and I am going to be seeing and Endro tomorrow and I am hoping that we can get things in check. :)

So, lets see about everyone else. :)

What can I do next?

I am almost 35 weeks pregnant with my third child. I'm also having a boy named Zachary Ryan by c-section Feb.28. This will be my third c-section. I too had to have an emergency c-section with my first son (Dylan)due to pre-eclampsia with help syndrome. I was sent over from my regular dr visit directly to the hospital after finding out I had high blood pressure and to much protein in my urine. The doctors said if I didn't have my baby that day that we would both die. Three days after delivering I lost 25 lbs just from the water weight gain. With my second pregnancy I had the water gain but ended up carrying to term with my daughter (Alyssa). I was high risk also but everything turned out fine. My doctors told me that if your baby has the same father your chances of going through that again are very unlikely.

I have two boys - one will be 3 at the end of May, and the other is 13 months. We just found out we are pregnant with #3, and I'm due in early September. I am 8 weeks along, so it's too early to "announce" the news, so I feel like I have no one to complain about how crappy I have been feeling with the morning sickness and all. (Complaining always makes me feel better, ya know?) ;) Oh, and I also found out yesterday that my (super fantastic awesome) doctor is getting ready to retire and no longer doing deliveries, so I don't even know who is going to deliver the baby. Now it could be any one of 14 doctors, 4 of which are on-call at any given time. Not a comforting thought!!! Thanks for listening. :)

I am pregant with our first and we have been married 10 yrs this year - we are so excited! I am 5 mos (19 weeks) and are awaiting Feb 15th for the next ultrasound to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. Though we are both convinced it's a boy. :) The carpet is going in the baby's room this week and we are finishing up the remdoeling and organizing of our house. I am feeling much better and the worst part of my first trimester was the headaches - I've never had them ever in my life like that. I'm glad to be able to get up in the morning, exercise again and enjoy every moment of being pregnant!

I am due in 5 weeks and I can't wait. This will be our second child, a little boy.
It is amazing how different this pregnancy has been than the first one. I had a very easy one the first time around.
I have been able to keep my weight gain to the just the baby weight which makes me very happy since I was not at what I watned to be at when I got pregnant. Anyway, I am very uncomfortable right now. I can't at night and I use all the pillows in the world to try and make a difference but it dosen't seem to help. My hips hurt so bad in the morning after my little sleep I get at night.
Each and every time my little guy moves it hurts really bad. I can't wait for next month. I have been thinking the whole time that he will come early and I thought it would have happened in December I had a lot of stress with my husband job and it was getting pretty bad.
But since than things have chanced with his job. Which was really a blessing for us. It would have been way to early for out little guy to come.
That is about it for me. Anyone else

I'm Expecting my second child as well! I have a Lovely little girl already (Bethany Kate) that is just on the edge of turning 6. I'm due with this baby in early April (around the 9th). We are having another girl and her name will be Maja Jillian.
I have a had a great pregnancy thus far with much less weight gain though the 1st Trimester nausea was much harder this time around.
I'm anxious and excited to try for a VBAC this time too, my last experience was not at all what I would have liked and recovery was tough with the C-section. I'm not holding my breath that I won't have another but with this being our last child I want to at least try to have a more memorable experience. (Though we all know this is totally up to Baby and not me!)
