Hey

i'm 22 weeks. This is my second child. I have some heartburn and some stretching pains. The baby is kicking quite abit. I also had a bit of discharge the other day. Which I had none of up to that point. That is about it. Is there anything your worried about? Or just checking?

I was just curious about what other people are experiencing. I am starting to get alot of strech marks of my sides and legs, I bought some lotion at walmart but it does not seem to help. Do you know of anything else that works? I feel the baby alot now, but only when I am laying still and quiet.

This is my first pregnancy also. I am about 22 weeks. Your experience seems the same as mine. I always try to remember that every pregnancy is very, very unique. I'm sure like me, you have been reading all kinds of stuff about things you may be feeling and such - quit reading that stuff. It makes you worry. Don't totally quit reading it, but also don't compare your pregnancy to everything you read. As long as your doctor say's you and the baby are doing well then whatever is normal for you is what your experiencing. I thankfully can say that I haven't experinced too much discomfort (yet), just some fatigue and moodiness. The other night I had some cookies and milk and the baby did some gymnastics for me. Maybe because of all the sugar. Enjoy your pregnancy and lots of warm wishes to you and your family.

I am 21 wks 3 days. This is my second child, but I had my first child nearly 14 years ago. It has been a long time, and I had my first child when I was only 16. I don't really remember what being pregnant felt like then, because I didn't pay attention to symptoms/signs until after the 5th month of pregnancy when I found out I was indeed pregnant.

I had terrible nausea/vomitting all day long from weeks 6 to 13. That has all gone now thank goodness! I still have problems with fatigue, and with high acid levels (acid reflux). I can't really say it is heartburn, because it never settles in my chest. It rises up to the back of my throat.

The extra weight I am carrying is really putting strain on my lower back. Some mornings, after sleeping most the night, I can barely move to get out of bed, because my lower back is so stiff.

I had my last appointment november 25th. I had been worried because I han't really felt the baby move yet. The practitioner just told me I should anytime now.

Well that night it was as if a switch had been flipped. I started feeling the baby move/kick. I have felt the baby move every few hours since then. There have been two or three days (not in a row) where the baby has hardly moved at all. Those days scared me.

Sex is getting more difficult. Just in the past three weeks my stomach has doubled in size. My uterus has grown so fast, pushing all my organs up under my lungs. With my big belly it makes sex uncomfortable. Time to find new positions, I guess. Also, because of my belly size now, my regular clothes are now a thing of the past. Time now for stretchy waist bands, and bigger shirts.

I'm 21wks today and it seems like everytime I look in the mirror my belly has gotten bigger and there are more streach marks on my hips.
This is my first pregnancy also. Baby is moving all the time it seems and even seems to have his own little routine going on in there.
People keep telling me I am so big for 4 and 1/2 months but I have a really small torso so baby has no where to go but out, funny how everyone has to tell you there opinion when your pregnant.

I am just now 24 weeks, I think it is twins. My first baby in over 20 years. I have no uterus.

Cannot get .Er .Dr's to listen. Wrote a lawyer this morning on email.

Try to send email to a number of health clinics here their email didnt work. Still trying to get medical care.

I had really bad morning sickness up til 14 weeks or so. Lots of movement for a long time now, easier to feel than in a uterus. Lately lots of pain from cramped quarters. Lots of nausea but not morning sickness different--like when you wear too tight clothes or press on your belly too hard. I been having those for 2 weeks. Diminished movement and not so much flipping around--staying in pretty much same position. Hard kicks with lots of pain--but that's cuz my pregnancy is in my abdomen.

Lots of sharp pains in my privates.

Still tender boobs but not so much "stabbing nipple pains" anymore.

Trouble breathing--no heartburn--thank .God.

Good luck ladies I am due april 1 2006--think I will have early though.
