Hi,

i also had cramping. Mine didn't feel like AF. They felt like a ton of pressure on my cervix. I did feel them across my stomache but again not like period cramps. They worried me all the time too. I have felt a miscarriage, and it actually felt a bit like that. It would get worse if I would ...

Hi,

Hi girls,

So glad to see this thread again. I haven't posted much as our adopted son came June 9th. He is adorable and fun, but having two and being pregnant is a lot of work!! He is now almost 6 weeks and really starting to show some personality. You forget how hard the first couple months are ...

Hi,

My first son they did it when he was in the hospital so I didn't have to "deal" with it much and was glad we did it. My second son we had to do it at the pediatricians office and they explained the procedure and the risks and benefits. They basically balance each other out. I was very nervous ...

Hi,

I got pregnant my second try. It was a lot easier to go through because I knew what to expect. Anyway, I am 23 weeks along now so it can work. Good luck to you!

Hey Fee

I had my scan and everything looked normal. I must just have a wimpy body! It is good to know I can get on with life, but I guess I will just have to take it easy or I'll have to pay for it later. Thanks for you concern and help. I hope you continue to do well and that your pains stop ...

Thank you for the reply! I called my dr. and he is moving my ultrasound up a week to Thursday morning. I hate waiting one more day to make sure all is well. I'm hoping it's just the growing pains and I'm just a wimp! :lol:

I'm glad you are looking well. Hopefully I will too. Thanks it helps to ...

Round Ligament Pain

Hey girls,

I am 19 weeks along and had a very busy weekend. I was on my feet a lot. My whole pregnancy I have cramped a lot and really have just gotten used to it. I usually get it if I do to much or lift too much. Anyway, when we got home I just knew to rest and take it easy. I did the same on ...

Hi girls,

This thread was kind of slow for a week, glad to see you are all doing well. We had an u/s on Monday and they think our little one is a girl. She was being very modest so they are not sure. She was moving around like crazy, I can't wait to feel it! I'm 17 weeks so I haven't felt much ...

How reliable do you think ultrasounds are?

Hi girls,

Hi,

HCG is a tricky thing because everyone's is different. What matters most is that it doubles every 48-72 hours. That means the pregnancy is progressing. A number over 100 is definetly good. I have seen people with hcg's of 300 that ended up with twins and some that don't. A high number might ...
