Q: Some Questions For a First Time Mom

Okay I have a few questions I am 20 weeks pregnant. When I eat dinner it feel like I have horrible indigestion but after like a few hours it goes away and then I feel nauseous and have to eat again. I was just wondering if it was normal to feel this way after I eat b/c I didn't think my insides were push up that high already? Also I was wondering how far along are you supposed to be when like your hands and feet swell?

I'm 25 weeks now. I didn't have any indigestion at 20 weeks but lately i've started having a lot of heartburn if I eat spicy things - which totally sucks cuz I love mexican food. :( so far I haven't really had any swelling in my hands, at least not so my rings are much tighter or anything. But my feet have swollen up some so that some of my shoes are tight on me. Saturday night I went to a dress-up dance and wore heels, and in no time my feet were puffing out and sore. :( so I guess my feet are swollen but not my hands much.

I think my fingers are just getting fat and spicy food is the only food that doesn't give me indigestion
