Your Pregnancy: Week 13

What should I expect out of a frist time dad.

I am so tired...all the time! But I am sooo happy to finally be pregnant!

Yesterday was the first day I didn't NEED a nap!

im in my second trimester and im still so sleepy...what gives..lol..i love that im pregnant but why does baby take all my energy. lol.

my belly just popped out last week, still just a lil bump, but its uncomfortable to button them, i'm guna be bummed out when i have to buy six's in jeans, but i'm so happy to be having another baby. so hoping for a girl this time

So BabyCenter is telling me that the second trimester starts next week (14 weeks) which is correct??

I am already feeling the baby move. It's so amazing! With this being my second pregnancy, I KNOW it's the baby and not gas.

i saw that my baby is now the size of a peach, and now all i want is fruit...

Very excited to be through the first trimester. I get winded SUPER easy, and then I start choking, what the heck?? I am feeling pretty good, but can I stop having heartburn please??? Also, I still can't finish a whole meal by myself, but that's a good thing right?

I am concerned because I just reached week 13 and I have not gained any weight. In fact I have lost a few pounds. Should I be worried? I have had no other symptoms that anything could be wrong, so maybe I am just freaking out over nothing.

I have had very very bad morning sickness, and have lost 16 pds. Which seems like ALOT right? Well I've been to 3 different OB's and they've all said Its very normal to lose under 20 pds the first trimester but have encouraged me to try to keep down solids. AND FINALLY, its working!!! Gained 3 pds back in 5 days!!! :) I am so excited, this is my first baby!!!! I have little pains near my ribs.. I'm guessing thats either baby or my organs shifting! Take care all!

I sleep as soon as I get home from work. my husband and I go to sleep as early as 8:30 pm.

Tomorrow, Jan. 30, 2010 I will be in my second trimester and I haven't had any symptoms such as morning sickness or anything.. I have headaches but that was already happening before the pregnancy. This is my second pregnancy my son is 9 and when i was pregnant with him I had no symptoms the only symptoms i have is when I smell things I hate it! lol same as with this pregnancy, but i do know that doesn't always mean its a boy cause my sister is the same way with both her pregnancies she has a boy and a girl the girl was her last child. maybe i'm lucky to not have morning sickness, but sometimes i feel sad because everybody talks about sickness that i've never experienced....

all i do is eat....eat...eat...

I'm definitely feeling it when I bend over, I have found it is now easier to squat then to bend. I have been trying to keep active, which I have found has actually helped with the shortness of breath! I've found the more I walk and exercise, the more I can get accomplished in a day because I don't tire out as quickly! So excited and can't wait for our little one to get here!

i just feel fat. I am in that in between stage, just started showing, clothes dont fit. I know its all worth it though. But I swear my butt is expanding! LOL

Wow I hear a lot of first-time moms say that they have been starting to show. I haven't. I'm considering my self lucky.

Gee, I just went to the Dr yesterday and found out that I lost 7 pounds!! However, my Baby is just fine. So I gained no weight during my first trimester!

Yay! 2nd trimester is here. Soon enough our baby will be here. :D

REALLY WORRIED 13 WEEKS WENT TO HOSPITAL SAT. WAS BLEEDING AND PASSING CLOTS DR SAID EVERYTHING WAS OK HEART BEAT WAS FINE AND PLACENTA IN TACK

second trimester excitement!! cant wait till the 20th to find out if our love is boy or girl!

second trimester excitement!! cant wait till the 20th to find out if our love is boy or girl!

I am exhasuted, I didn't have any sickness in the first trimester but I have it now - I shan't moan as I am so happy to be carrying around my little digit. I used to look on here before I was pregnant so jealous of all the people who could write how they were feeling and now I feel so precious to be one of them.....congrats all :) lets enjoy it xxx

Not big enough for maternity clothes and too big for regular clothes..........but feeling great!!!!!!

Heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time today, at 150-160 bpm. I wonder if it's true boys' heartbeats are faster? Hmm. Anywho, just waiting for the m/s to pass. I keep getting this strange feeling the past few days, it's like bubbles in my stomach. This is my first, but I wonder if it's the baby I feel already.

I am almost 13 weeks and I have been sick with upper respiratory problems for about a month. My Doctor now tells me I have some how got Asthma form a low immune system. My first pregnancy was a walk in the park compared to this one so far!!!

OMG, I have been so tired but not able to fall sleep... I also don't know if I am starting to show or if it is just a bit of fat pooch. My weight was changing a lot before I got pregnant.

I am the exact opposite. I am having a HARD time eating or just looking at food. I didn't have morning sickness throughout the first 12 weeks!! My sweet little angel is making it hard for me to have ANYTHING!!

Anyone else start feeling worse at week 12-13. I have been way more nauseated....

I'm finally done being sick. I've gone 2 weeks without morning sickness!! I'm loving the 2nd trimester so far.

i heard my babys heart beat 2day and it was so crazy and exiteing im doing this on my own but i can do it

I'm still incredibly tired, but I'm looking forward tot he relief everyone keeps talking about in the second trimester!

These headaches are HORRIBLE! Though I am very excited to be getting some energy back!

I wish the dad could just let me share with him whats going on, I give him plenty of space and dont talk about it much bc i know it freaks him out, but when i do try to share something like the fact that it can hear us now, he says: "Im just going to shake my head," which is never a good response, It makes it hard and he is going to live in a co-ed dorm at college this fall which means I will be completely alone again, and no wonder what he will do but Im trying hard not to worry and just think about the fact that I do have baby even if i cant hear it yet.... good luck to everyone else, hope your men are taking it better than mine has

I am in my second trimester now and I am feeling much better.. My only problems are the headaches that I seem to have constantly.. I try and avoid taking any kind of medications.. I live in Arizona, where it is extremely hot in the summer. I am sure the heat doesn't help the headaches. I try and keep hydrated though.

is it normally to feel as if you are not pregnant when you are pregnant.i didnt have morning sickness or eating disorder

To: Ruev I just mentioned to my co-worker the other day, that besides KNOWING that I'm pregnant, and some tiredness, there's nothing else that I can complain about. I agree, I haven't been sick, or nauseous. I think it just depends on the person. Because everyone's different. :)

go see my DR on Thu so i know how the baby is doing cant went :D

I'M STILL KIND OF HAVING A LITTLE TROUBLE HOLDING MY FOOD DOWN... HOPEFULLY, IT WILL SUBSIDE SOON...

Yay 2nd trimester! Hope to be able to eat again and have more energy

my first trimester was nauseating, but this one has been worse already!!! I thought it was supposed to be better :( I've been puking nonstop

I wasn't sick at all First Trimester and now I'm sick at night, its normally if I eat to much or something that doesn't agree with me and its right before bed. I'm also SUPER sore... tummy, sides, hips, its like I got beat up and am bruised all over.

i find that it is difficult for me to get up n the moring

I live in NKY and all the houses here have multiple flights of stairs..whew! is all i got to say on that one. Just hit my 13 week mark, and already starting to "pop". This is my second child and its completely different from my first pregnancy..hopefully will be a boy!. congrats to you other expecting mamas. =)

so excited for the second trimester, can't wait to start feeling the baby kick!

My husband left me 2 days after we saw the baby's heartbeat on ultrasound in late July. I'm 13 weeks now. He hasn't talked to me in almost a month & blocked my texts. I know he wanted this baby. I had a miscarriage in April but he wanted to keep trying. He has bipolar & now my Dr says he sounds manic. I don't what to do. I miss him. He was on new meds & stressed about money. He was a great stepdad to my daughters from previous marriage. Anyone else ever had their man bolt like this?

13 weeks and 4 days....thought i was finally starting to feel better. Until this morning. Got really really sick...i feel so yucky now.

i am in my 13th week and haven't gained any weight yet!?!?!?!?!!?

I'm 12 weeks, 5 days, and until this weekend, I hadn't gotten sick at all. Saturday I threw up, and today I fainted- twice, and threw up. I feel 'hungover' all the time, and tired. haven't been able to keep much food or liquid down either. calling doctor tomorrow if I'm still feeling like crap.

I am 12 weeks 2 days today. Still tired, m/s is pretty much gone but now starting to get headaches. I haven't been able to button my pants for a few weeks now, luckily all of my work shirts are long enough to cover. I ordered/renting a doppler from babybeat.com so I can hear my little one's heartbeat whenever I want. It's scheduled to arrive today. I have been spotting the past couple weeks, red, but my ultrasound everything looked good, the doppler will give me peace of mind in between ultrasounds :)

i have 12 weeks and i start get headackes

I just found out I'm 13 wks, when I thought I was only 7 wks. everythings happenin' so fast but so excited!!! :) evrything looks good. Baby's heartbeat was beaiting 157 secs a minute which was very good.

13 weeks and 4 days, waiting for my official 14 weeks to count myself in the second trimester. I don't think I'll be able to wait till week 20 to find out! they can totally see it before, I think I'll wait till my 17th week so I can know for my birthday :)

To be at this point now is truly a blessing. I was sick for the last 7 weeks and I now feel like a normal person again. WHEW! However, I did start getting major leakage but thank goodness for Dr. Internet . This is my 3rd baby, but my youngest is 8. So it feels like my first. I had a really bad miscarriage in 2006 so I'm nervous. I've seen my doctor once per week just to make sure I'm all good. 13 weeks and counting .....

this is my 2nd pregnancy - my son is about to turn 2, and i have to say that this 2nd pregnancy is soooooo much more draining than the first! your first pregnany you can rest your body, but when your chasing a 2 year old around and dealing with temper tantrums and potty training it is just EXHAUSTING. i do have some goals for him before baby #2 arrives though: i want him to be potty trained(1 in diapers is enough!), and i want him to be on a better sleep schedule...lastly, i want to get a hold on these temper tantrums more lol...easier said than done though as far as differences, i'm more tired, i get winded alot easier, and i'm way more forgetful than last pregnancy. i am soooo emotional this time around, and my face is breaking out like i'm in jr high. the difference are making me wonder if maybe it could be a girl? i always wanted a girl, but once i had a boy i realized it wasn't that hard and now i think i'd be more comfortable with another boy b/c now the thought of raising a girl is scary to me!! oh well, me and my husband will be happy with whatever God gives us :)

I'm getting a little winded from taking the stairs now...but the good news is that the nausea is subsiding! :)

how do you know when the baby is moving? I am having some flutter feelings in my lower stomach but i don't know if its gas or the baby i'm 13 weeks today this is my first pregnancy

4 months pregnant im carrying what looks like a full tummy 5 more to go

Im trying to get myself used to sleeping on my sides..gonns miss sleeping on my belly.but me back is already borthering me..I find myself tossing at night alot trying to get comfy.

I dreamed I was feeding a baby talking elephant peanuts. Does this mean my baby will be a republican?

Has anyone tried the Chinese, Gregorian/lunar age gender predictors? If so, how accurate or inaccurate have you (or your friends/family) found them to be?

I am so happy to have made it to the second trimester! This is our first baby and let me just tell everyone who says they "love being pregnant" I DONT!!! The sickness, the headaches, being tired all the time...I love the fact that we are going to have a new addition to our family but, I don't love being pregnant. Can't wait till the baby comes! :)

In the last 2 weeks, I noticed the waist band of my pants are starting to get tight! This is my first, so every week is a new discovery :)

i just had my docs appointment yesterday and im 13 weeks along and havent gained any weigh either, Galove

God I'm hoping that this n/v will end soon. With my son it didnt end until 4 months. I'm hoping it starts to ease up bc now I'm at -20 lbs. I am one who doesn't mind gaining weight while I'm preggo bc I know its for the BEST. And I know I will lose it after I have the baby just like with my son. Wish me luck MOMMIEs

My first trimester was hell, but now that I am in my second trimester i dont feel pregnant anymore, is that normal?

Got to see baby last week (Week 12 ultrasound) and it was amazing! Little one was active - such a blessing to a first time mom's eyes!!! Amazing to see Baby looking so human-like now with fingers and toes :) Pants are getting tight, bought my first pair of maternity pants on the weekend out of pure desperation! It's getting uncomfortable but truly thrilling! Can't wait to meet this little one!!!

I have been having bizarre, sometimes scary dreams almost every night!

13 weeks! wow! Thankfully, I have had no morning sickness, but I've had nausea 24 hours a day for the entire preganancy. I've already gained 10 pounds because in order to make my nausea go away I usually grab the nearest snack. Oh well, hopefully the nausea goes away and I stop eating this way. At our ultrasound, the tech said the baby is in the upper end of the normal percentile, which means we will probably have a large baby. If I am any factor in this it will be huge, i was 9 lbs 13 oz! aahh!

I had an ultrasound at 12weeks and I saw my babies profile, I can't believe how in such a short time that it's grown into a miniature baby. It's was amazing to see it move around all over the place, but not feel anything. Now when I sit done I have to unbuckle my pants, since I can't stop eating.

The morning sickness is gone but the fatigue is back with a vengence!

Ugh! I don't know what to do! My son is almost 4 and we told him about the new baby coming, because I am now starting to show. Joshua (my son) has decided to start using the bathroom in his pants again! It was so difficult to get him potty trained the first time, I am hoping this has nothing to do with my growing belly and the new baby on the way! Any thoughts?

I'm 13 weeks! Yay! Can't wait until I'm 28!! :)

last night i felt like my back was feeling very weird!! idk what it was so i felt it and it felt like a rolling pin was rolling over the side of my back (kinda where my curve is) and but on the inside!! what was that anyone have any idea???

yay, second trimester! The nausea is abating, but I'm still tired a lot (9:30 bedtime!). It's hard to bend over already and i'm down to two pairs of jeans (old hip huggers that sit below the bitty bump). My husband looks amazed every time i get undressed because the belly is getting bigger by the week! I'm eating every TWO HOURS! is THAT normal?

I will be 13 wks this Thursday and welcoming my second trimester with open arms! I have no horribly sick since week 4 and I hope it's true - that I will start feeling more like myself soon! I just want to find out if it's a boy or a girl already! Of course my hubby wants a boy and I want a girl - either way we will be happy with a healthy baby! But I am just so anxious to know!

happily welcoming my 2nd trimester with open arms!! i feel WAY better then my 1st trimester! it's amazing that i can actually enjoy my pregnancy from now on! i still get a spur of m/s but nuthing close like b4! i havent's gained any weight really! which is good! everyone is starting diets for the summer and it feels good that i dnt have to diet since i will be preggo during most of the summer :) tummy is def. showing but i cant wait till it get's bigger! good luck you mommies out there!!!

I am jealous you haven't had MS! I have for past 4 days in a row... I made it all of week 10 without vomiting once and thought I was in the clear... but baby HAD to make his/her presence known and I am puking up whatever I eat in the mornings again now. I really hope 2nd trimester shows me the light and I can truly stop getting sick. Although, I have come to like just vomiting and getting it over with rather than being nauseated ALL day long! What baby girl and boy names to you ladies like? And are you going to find out gender at 20 wks?

I already told my husband that he will have to paint my nails for me.

I'm having twins and it says that at this point one baby is about the size of a peach, but what about twins. are they the sam size of smaller.

I am 12 weeks and 2 days and I feel great. I had to get some prego clothes, nothing fits anymore. Having some back pain already, I hope it doesn't stay for the rest of my pregnancy.

I am in my second trimester as well and have not gained any weight either. My pants are harder to do up but other than that not showing really yet. Have heard from a lot of people that most in their first pregancy may not show till 5 months! I am not worried, my doctor said that it is normal not to gain weight in first trimester. I am excited to get my "bump" though! I had no sickness, just occasional headaches, heartburn, and sore breasts. All of that is going away though, breasts are not sore anymore really!

I have had alot of sticking sensations and what feels like movement. I thought it was too early for that.

Finally made it to my second trimester! Already feeling my energy coming back except for right after lunch, I could totally snooze for an hour at my desk. lol

I'm having some contractions and i'm only 13 weeks pregnant, I called the doctor and she only asked me to rest and drink a lot of water, she said theres not much to do about it. I 'm worried because in my last 2 pregnancies i had a preterm labor and my son was born in the Highway.

Ill go up the stairs maybe once or twice and im outta breath!!

Week 13 and the craving are kicking in now!!!

very happy THREE WHOLE DAYS and NO VOMITING !

Tomorrow will be the start of my 2nd trimester! And man can I tell.... have way more energy but the headaches are starting. Excited for the growing bump...

I swear I can feel movement already... But this is my first, and since Im not sure what it is actually supposed to feel like, I could be crazy.

I have to say I am relieved I am not the only one out of breath!! I've always been in good shape and so now I find if I am walking across the parking lot and trying to talk on my cell I get so winded!!

I have been really short of breath this week, too. Glad to hear it's not just me!!

for those of you still in single digits for pants,feel lucky.at 13 weeks already gained over 20 pounds and in maternity clothes.my belly looks six months already.

This is my first pregnancy...had an ultrashould today and the baby had the hiccups and was trying to suck it's hand....sooo cute! With every passing day, it seems more and more real :o)

SECOND TRIMESTER!!!!!!!! i still feel m/s but its getting better. had my OB appt today and found out the awful pain i was feeling was just a pulled/spraind ligament. thank god! id rather it be me than something else go wrong with the baby. i have stopped bleeding so i think the last palm sized clott was the last :) my doc is happy but i still need to take it easy. gas is HORRIBLE tho! im always tired and its hard to sleep but im happy :D

I am in my second trimester and I'm finally not falling asleep at 8:30 anymore, now I can stay up until 10:00... :-)

I can't eat what or when i want, just when this little one wants. My portions are much smaller and more frequent, it's so strange, because this is my 3rd. I have thrown up more with this one child than both of my boys!

Does anyone know if you can get a brazillian blowout during the 2nd trimester? I am 13 weeks.

ill be 13 weeks in 2 days an ive been feeling better although still always tired but now able to eat again an keep it down morning sickness has gotten so much better this is my 2nd pregnacy but the 1st time making it this far an im sooo thrilled an everything is more than worth all of it!

I am sooo excited to be in my second trimester! The first one was really hard on me, as I had to be prescribed medication to get through one day! But I already feel better and have more energy! I still have to take my medication for the nausea but at least I have some energy! For the last 2 weeks I have actually been able to go back to the gym and I think this has help a lot with my mood, and energy!

I am sooo excited that we are having a baby! And def excited to be in the 2nd trimester...i just dont like being tired ALL the time, but I know its all for the greater good, lol! I just cant wait to hold our baby;) It seems like time is going so fast...whew!

Feels so good to have finally made it to week 13!!! Feels like it took forever, lol. I can finally breathe :)

My doctor told me I need to go on early maternity leave, but I feel really bad that my boyfriend has to carry the whole load of bills and etc.. Although this leave is much needed is there anything I can do to help just a bit.???

My pants are getting harder for button and I'm not ready to buy new clothes yet. I've started using RUBBER BANDS to hold my pants together. Loop it through the button hole, then loop it through itself and around the button, crisis averted.

I can't get rid of heart burns...UUUHGGG!!! Wlll it ever stop

went for my 13 week check up yesterday. Couldnt find babies heartbeat with the doppler so doc had to do a quick ultra sound, baby was bouncing all over in there. Found out I have high protien in my urine because my kidneys are not working that well. Also found out I have, I think he called it, Anti thrombosis. Other wise everything is fine with the baby, and im feeling lots better still tired though!

I have been feeling so much better the past couple of weeks, i was so tired and nauseated all the time! I love being pregnant and I couldn't ask for a better life :)

Second trimester!! I'm getting excited but still very nervous! The dad wants nothing to do with my baby an it's so scary to think of doin this alone!

I can't decide if I should find out what I'm having or to keep it a surprise. It's soo hards when I go shopping for baby items to not know.

I am 12 weeks pregnant with my first baby. My husband and I have been married almost ten months and we are both very young (I am 19 he is 23) The pregnancy was planned, we just really felt like it was time for us to start our family. We own our home and very stable well paying jobs. We know our baby is going to be well taken care of, however I am getting really tired of people being judgmental. Some people are happy for us but many have decided to lecture me on how young we are and how we should have waited several years and had "together time" before having a baby. I understand this but it was just not Gods plan for our lives. Why can't people keep opinions to themselves? Im already pregnant so what to they expect me to do? Its not like I could take their advice even if I wanted to...

12 weeks and 5 days today, and i"m already starting to feel a little better from the agony of morning sickness. this is my 6th pregnancy, but the excitement of the first is still there. Good luck ladies!

Going this weekend to an early ultrasound place. Cant wait!!!!

It's really great to hear everyones struggles, questions, complaints and discoveries. This is my first time going through this and it's really nice to hear so many of you have the same symptoms, questions and joys that I do. Thanks for sharing ladies! REALLY- THANKS!

I am loving this 2nd trimester!!! Love feeling the baby! its been so hard with 3 miscarriages, and now with the 4th everything is going great! So blessed!

I heard I should start feeling better, finally! I am still tired ALL the time and now feel dizzy when I stand up or lay back down from standing. Yay? LOL. I just started the second trimester so I hope in the next few days/week I will feel better!

Hi! Well here we are in the second trimester! Yay Ladies!!! Keep drinking your water and taking those vitimins... Grow little babies grow!!!!

OMG!!! So yesterday me and my fiance were laying down watching a movie and he had his head on my tummy. He said he heard these like gushing sounds lol at first he thought i was just hungry which i wasnt i had just ate not too long ago so he kept observing and came to the conclusion that it was our lil peach sized baby in there being hyperactive lol the fiance got curious and decide he wanted to pull out the tetascope and get a better sound of the noise and he captured the heart beat at the same time it was so amazing. This is my first child and i can not wait to see my second ultrasound and know if its a boy or girl already. =]

I cant believe I have gained 10 pounds and the baby is only the size of a peach haha

I havent gained any weight yet, actually I have lost weight, is this a concern?

Ive started to able to Feel the baby move a few weeks ago! Everytime I smell/eat Sharp Chedder Cheeze, He Spins, Or flips... Its feels like im being tickled from the inside out everytime My mom or sister feels my tummy! Heehee

im in my second trimester. :D this is going by so fast.

Feeling tired too! I worked 14 hours yesterday and today i feel like I got hit by a truck today LOL! It's amazing to me how sleepy a grown woman can feel. Up by 9am and back in bed by 12:30 :) My husband has been so great helping out around the house, such a lucky lady I am.

Not that good of an idea to brush right after drinking something acidic or sweet because it'll brush the bad stuff into your teeth. Better to use a mouth rinse. :)

so happy to be in the 2nd tri =), some headaches and sleepy is way better then being sick all day, everyday...lol, i can finally leave the house and feel good, so excited!!!

im just sooo tired and morning sickness hasnt went away yet. and either i always have a cold or sinus infection. I just cant get comfortable at all :(

I sure am glad to hear some of you have already popped. This is my first and I am already showing. Not too terribly much but there is a noticeable bump. I am ready for next Thursday for my next spy session with the OB. Lots of hope and love for my jellybean.

I'm already unable to finish my meals! I get full after 3 bites!

Wow, it's such a relief to read all of these comments! I'm starting to find it awkward/uncomfortable to bend over, and I'm definitely feeling "fat", not pregnant. I had to use a good old hair elastic to do my pants up yesterday. Also, a couple of days ago I was lying on my stomach and I felt a fluttering in my belly. Baby??

I feel your pain! I was trying to shave my legs and its getting harder and harder to bend down :)

does anyone feel tired alot

I'm 13 weeks and i still have no signs of a baby bump whatso ever... it's actually kind of depressing... is it because i am overweight to begin with?

Ladies- I wanted to get your opinion on this. . .I am almost 14 weeks and all of the sudden I have these like vagina aches and sharp pains. They are not constant but they are definitely there. I have actually had cramps the whole pregnancy and my doctor just mentioned that it is because I have a pretty small frame and the streching will be felt more. This is new though, and so I dont want to over react, but would you call your doctor, or do you all think it is fairly normal?

always do not remember to take my prenatal vitamin.

I had the same experience when I painted my toenails. I used to be able to give myself the full pedicure without problems. I got done and almost felt like a nap I was so exhausted. Taking the trash out at times seems like a marathon. Its all worth it in the end, can't stay pregnant forever!!!

I've only gained four pounds but I have a HUGE belly already. But I've felt great all along and I'm trying to exercise whenever I get a chance.

I'm still napping, can't seem to get it together, I'm so sleepy! Hope I gain more energy in the weeks to come! Yay for week 13 :D

13 weeks today with my second baby!! My son just turned 4 years old and is super excited about the new baby. He tells us that it's a girl :-) I've lost about 10 lbs but the doctor tells me thats ok. A few days ago I had a lot of bleeding and went to the ER only to find out that I have placenta previa, and everything is healthy with baby. On the ultrasound the baby was making a fist and opening their mouth to put it in!! So cite, I can't wait until July 19th when we find out if it's a boy or girl!!

i2sick4u I just did that today! lol I totally know how you feel. I'm pretty excited to not feel so sick, it's been getting easier. Will officially be 13 weeks tomorrow, so hopefully I'll keep on this path. :)

i am 13 weeks, but i just don't FEEL pregnant. is that at all normal? last week i thought i could see a little "bump" but this week i really just think i'm chubby. should i be concerned?

Nausea and vomiting is finally gone, thank goodness!! I am also starting to get the brain farts, I went to leave from work and I put my key up in my sun visor. I mean really not even close!!!

I've been getting sicker as time has gone on. I thought it was supposed to get better!

I have been so thirsty all the time which lucky for me has left me in the bathroom all the time! Friends say its just going to get worse ugh!

same here, i was painting my toe nails a couple days ago and its not very comfortable. it's also seeming harder to get up from the couch

Am 14 week pregnant, happy to be in the 2nd trimester. Am still craving lots of stuff - guess its coz am in a foreign land and the food here is totally different. I have never puked, since i got pregnant, but the cravings ---- gracoius!! My appetite is still down, still tiredly, and the excitement feels like i found out just yesterday. tx for the advice, we donot know the sex yet and we dont mind, ho e have for first born. i love this pregnancy. lol u'all...

I'm about 13 weeks and still getting sick! I can't even go grocery shopping without getting overheated, dizzy, and rushing to find the bathroom. This is my second term pregnancy, and my son was born 14 years ago, so I don't know if I'm just expierencing what over 35 mom's feel,or what. My insurance is still pending so I haven't even been to the dr's yet. Any insights?

I'm still very tired and now my emotions are all over the place, but i'm soo happy and can't wait to have my baby.

I'll be 13 weeks in 2 days... Had a wonderful ultrasound and genetic counseling appointment yesterday. Baby is very healthy and I am at super low risk for defects (turned 35 this year)... as for being in between clothes... LADIES!! GET BELLY BANDS! You can wear your usual pants and jeans but leave them unbuttoned. These tube top like bands are long and will keep your pants up!! You can even double it up for more support. I SWEAR BY THEM! $5-8 on eBay, don't pay more! Go with a brand name one however because the cheapie no-name I bought was just cotton with minimal stretch and rather useless... the actual bella band ones were perfect, comfie and sturdy poly. I am not big enough for maternity clothes but I was able to wear some maternity cargo's with the bella band perfectly... Happy Baby Growing to everyone!

i just painted mine today and I thought gee if its getting tough already this may be my last time haha

well the sickness seams to only be getting worse this kid is getting picky >.< />

This is my second child. Between being pregnant and my 4 year old, I honestly feel like there is no energy left for me to enjoy my day. I remember the 2nd trimester being the best part the first time...I guess chasing after a 4 year old all day really changes things.

amazed at the fact that i found out the sex of my baby so early!I can go shopping and not have to buy universal clothes.I m glad to be done with the first trimester no more sick mornings.and my stomach is finally a little bump,almost got everything for my baby. so happy.

Woke up excited to start my second trimester and start feeling better only to throw up in the sink :/

i am still completely exhausted despite 8+ hours of sleep every night. And I am barely able to hide my bump anymore...still trying to wear my regular clothes and it is getting more difficult everyday.

I don't understand how my belly appeared overnight. I haven't really gained any weight, but all of a sudden I have a low baby belly. I go back and forth from loving it to trying to hide it!

ummmmmm when is this "feel good" feeling supposed to start???

congrats to all!! everyone says im having a girl, because they were all sick with their girls and not at all with their boys. maybe, lol. we have had 2 u/s, one at 6 weeks because they wanted to rule out an etopic, and my first regular one this week which was awesome. at both we heard the heartbeat, and hubby, my mom and i all cried. what a little miracle :) so excited, and happy to be having a baby, but i can say with all honesty - being pregnant sucks, lol. i dont like being tired and sick so much. all worth it in the end tho. good luck to all of you

do you have to be 5 months before they can detect the sex of the baby? This is my 2end and im so anxioussss! My 1st was a boy, so whatever this one is will still be a blessing!!

im sick every morning and as i get further along i get worse. the doc says that its normal but im not sure...

I had some trouble painting my toenails too hahaha that just means pedicures soon!!!

Your baby measures about 3.2 to 4.1 inches from crown to rump now and weighs almost an ounce. The ears are shifting from the neck to the sides of the head, and the neck is getting longer and chin more prominent. -County Line Nissan

No more morning sickness, but I've been getting awful headaches now. Blood pressure is fine, not dehydrated... I've tried relaxation/meditation, power walking, eating to make sure it's not because I'm hungry... Tylenol does nothing for me. So frustrated!

Hmm, I think my baby is going to be pretty small based on genetics and my size - not sure I could fit a peach in there and not really show... we'll see!

I'm starting to get my energy back, but I have had a very hard time catching my breath lately. I'm excited because I am still not showing! My last pregnancy by 10 weeks I was in maternity clothes. But I also thought back then that pregnancy was a really good excuse to eat whatever I wanted. I am being smarter this time around!

The morning sickness is starting to disapear, still feel tired but not as tired as i did in the first couple of weeks. Really eager to find out the sex of the baby!

i noticed climbing the stairs at work the last couple of weeks i have been out of breath. i was a runner before getting pregnant..now i feel like ive never exercised in my life!

so relieved to be in 2nd trimester!

I cant stop eating but I am not gaining much weight. I have only gained about 3lbs but I eat about eight small meals a day. Its like I cant feed the baby enough! But I do love my appetite is back. Still need a nap mid day! lol

13 weeks and still suffering from m/s. Oh, second trimester please bring relief...

Yes... hopefully will be able to eat like a normal person... everything still making me nauseous.. even just looking at the trash makes me gag!

13 weeks today and my headaches and heart burn have never been so bad. I blew right through the first trimester with no problems. lol I guess it's time to pay my dues. :)

Im so excited! First trimester was a breeze for me (easy pregnancies run in the family) but i hope i get my energy back soon. Its my first child and its going so fast :)

im 13 weekks and still VERY sick is this normal

I am now 13 weeks and so happy to be past the first trimester. I had all day sickness up to about week 10 and then it started to go away. Once I hit week 12 my morning sickness slowly started to come back. I woke up at around 3am vomitting this morning. I am still so tired and I am a full time Biology major. I am due April 1 and I am somehow trying to graduate in May. I hope this all works out for me.

I am 13 weeks and I couldn't be more excited! It is crazy to think how quickly the baby is growing. I'm not feeling as sick as I used to be so hopefully I can get off my meds, I'm starting to get lower back pain, and really bad headaches near the end of the day. Right now I'm in that phase were I can't fit in maternity pants, but I can't fit in my old jeans anymore, hopefully in a couple more weeks I can get into more comfortable clothes! This is my first baby so I'm so excited and learning new things every week! Good luck to all the other mommy's!

I'm 13 weeks pregnant, and i'm barely showing at all! Just a little wider so my jeans don't fit totally normally... but if i hadn't gotten an ultrasound and had the tech tell me the baby was developing normally, i would have been worried. Doing well, less nausea, still exhausted all the time though! I kinda want my belly to pop! I'm tired of looking like i ate too much, i want to look pregnant! lol

I understand the bending over thing hahah

I'm so glad this is the third day in a row that i stayed awake all day without a nap! Blessed end of the brutal 1st trimester!

went for my 13 week check up yesterday. Couldnt find babies heartbeat with the doppler so doc had to do a quick ultra sound, baby was bouncing all over in there. Found out I have high protien in my urine because my kidneys are not working that well. Also found out I have, I think he called it, Anti thrombosis. Other wise everything is fine with the baby, and im feeling lots better still tired though! Web Design Consett

This is my 1st baby. =) My bras dont fit anymore... I have a little belly that I notice but everyone else says they can't tell. I can tell because I don't want to wear anything that buttons or zips in front! I'm way more comfortable in sundresses or stretchy skirts. Bought a few sports bras that I'm using until my boobs stop growing!! They HURT too! I still sleep about 10 hours at night, but don't have to nap anymore! SOOO anxious to find out the gender!! My husband swears it's a girl so it's so hard not to buy super cute little outfits when we're shopping. I know it will go fast, but I'm so excited to have a little one! High Cholesterol Foods
