Hi all - well umm.. Im new here and i've only read a few messages on here so far so im just gonna tell ya my story and hopefully someone will write back with some advice. First off im 19 and my fiance is 21 we're now 2 months pregnant. It wasn't planned but well we've been blessed with the baby and we're going to keep it. Scott (my fiance) has a full time job and we'll be well off and able to provide for the baby, im just wondering what to expect during pregnancy, and I figured someone on here would know. We've been considering having a child since I was 17 because his parents so desperatley wanted grandchildren, they even offered to keep the baby if I had one so that I could continue school. But we decided to wait awhile. Anywho any advice on how to deal with "morning sickness"... Or all day sickness I think it should be called!! And when i'll start to show simple things like that I know next to nothing. Thanks ~melissa

Hello, congratulations!!!

Well keep in mind not all women get the sickness. Im not pregnant but I have gotten alot of nausea before! What I do is get something sweet that can take the taste or smell away. I hate tuna and my mom will make it and the can just about makes my puke! But I go and get a spoonfull of ice cream leave the kitchen. It helps so much. Another girl said mints, crackers, things like that. My sister was pregnant and I was there for her through the whole thing, even delivery. So I always gave her a massage ever evening. We heard it helps her. I would sing to the baby and read her a book. It looked funny reading to her stomach but I did it anyways. Walk every day!!! It helps alot, alot for the labor! Makes it easier. Eat healthy, take your prenatal vitamins everday. Snack on fruits and veggies and stuff like that. Dont strain yourself too much physically. Good luck, god bless!

You can see my neice right there in the picture, both of them!

Hi melissa,

lol, yeah it should be called anytime sickness shouldn't it. I'm exactly 2 months pregnant aslo. Being your first child you probably won't start to show until 3 - 4 months depending on you and your body, everyone is completely different. With my first pregnancy I didn't show until 4 months, but the doctor is saying with your second you will show a lot more quickly than the first. What symptoms are you going through at the moment ? Right now I think the worst for me is running to the toilet every hour, and I was just saying to the other girls before I seem to be having a lot of trouble with dandruff.


Regards,

.::suzy::.
