I am so thanfull to you and other young mothers to be for shareing theese most private videos about what's going on in your preganancies. I know your baby has been born by now but my 17 year old daughter is almost 10 weeks preganant and she has made her own video to try and encourage young mothers by telling her experience. She is showing already and we are behind her 100%. I say to you what I said to her God chose a 14 year old unmarried girl to carry our savior. My daughters page is MYKEN44.
I love your pregnancy vlogs! I'm just sad i came across them a year late :( I just didn't start looking into them until I got pregnant. I like your videos the best though, because you are very likable, you have a sense of humor! And your symptoms are so incredibly similar to mine! I'm 12 weeks right now, so you had the same things going on around the same time as me!
I can totally see a difference in your body but only because I watched videos from before. And about the elastic around the button thing, as long as the zipper pull stays down its been working for me but if it flaps up the fly comes down so I don't really know.
I can't eat anything either. I'm 9 weeks and even when I can fine something to eat I just cant eat much. I get very full when I eat like half the food I used to and even before I got pregnant I didn't eat much.
HI! My name is ourturner (Mel) I am your new precriber, and I have been watching all of your vlog. Also I am new to this youtube thing.
I am also trying to conceive for 7 months now. I just started my fertility friend charting. I have a question: I am now on my 15 DPO. My basal temp is between 97.5 and 97.9 for one week now. Do you think it could be sign of pregnancy?
dont worry about the weight.. u seem to be pretty thin just like me. im almost 25 weeks and ive only gained about 3 lbs! which ive been juggling ever since i got pregnant but my doc says not to worry bcuz my weight is in proportion with how much the baby weighs & the weight will come when it needs to =)
Its funny, I've lost weight but gotten bigger. Maybe I lost fat overall and gained weight in other places. I'll be more worried later on when I get my full appetite back though!
Your bump is so cute darling! Don't worry! I started showing REALLY early, too! It's just makes it that much more real! The same shower thing used to happen to me, and the doc said that it was dehydration and that I needed to take a cooler shower :)
aww thanks :) I don't mind showing early, I just worry that if I'm big in the beginning, I'll be extra big in the end...but I just have to relax and let my body do what it needs to do!
do you know of anything i can take i can not drink milk or anything of dairy i get so sick especially morning. doc said to eat ice cream but that to now has made me sick i dnt know what to do i eat yogurt every once in a while but eww lol.
at 3 months with my son i had a pass out spell to...scraed me to death hit the floor quite hard at the mall :) but my ob at the time told me its normal during the 1st and 2nd trimester
i was dehydrated, and the heat of the shower ended up being too much. Hope your okay babe!! (try keeping a glass of water or a bottle near you)&&& I LOOOOVEDD the costume!! So cute!! the bump could be gas/bloat.. but your going to pop out a bit at week 12 which isnt far away soo you have nothing to worry about =)
I love your doggies and kitty!! :) Oh and get a belly band! I bought mine at motherhood maternity for like $16. a\At target they are $20 I believe! They work so good!!
I got something similar to the bella band...its longer though so I'm not quite sure how I'm supposed to wear it...like a tube top or under the boobs. I'll figure it out, I'm sure lol
@frowniebrown86 My belly bands are super long.. I could technically wear it as a tube top dress! LOL.... I just fold it under to make it shorter.. but as the belly gets bigger you need the extra length! lol
hmmm... mine is long too... the lady told me to fold it in half and put it half on my jeans and the rest on my skin.... hmmmmm i dont know... it works for me :)
i am the same as you i shower afternoons mornings now i can not shower only difference is i actually throw up blahh. i have actually been seeing my baby grow every friday i go tomorrow again for another ultrasound. i only get it because i had two miscarriages
I had the belching/hiccuping all the time too, just wait it out, it kinda gets better. I wouldnt take anything for it though, i dont really think there is anything for that. Your shower may be too hot, you can get dizzy pretty easy with heat when your pregnant. Just wait girl, when your about 16-20 weeks you will love food again or maybe not love it, but NEED to eat cause your hungry all the time. Thanks for the update!
haha I think thats the stage I'm in now...hungry all the time but not that interested in food....I'm getting there though!! Hopefully by my birthday, I get my appetite back even more so I can really dig in!
You look soooo cute with your little belly.... I totally wish mine was even close to that cute... I am just fat.
Anyway, thanks for the info about Pepto Bismol, I honestly didn't know that. I took some the other day but I will never take it again now. It is apparently a class C drug
you are not fat my dear, you are pregnant :) and beautiful (just ask your hubby, he'll tell ya!) ya they sneak aspirin in there! buttholes lol I hope you felt better though
I think your showers are too hot...when we are pg we get dizzier alot easier because our blood flow is mostly going to our babies...and the heat of the shower will increase that..so try not to close your shower curtain all the way to let cool air in or just try and take cooler showers..even though you htink its not too hot, it might be for your body! its perfectly normal to get dizzy though and feel like youre going to puke,,,it will happen to me if my shower is too hot and im 12 weeks :)
yeah I think I have found that I either have to shower sitting down or lower the temp, or just wait til the afternoon while standing, but at the temp I like. I feel like a bum sitting all the time, but I totally understand why pregnant women do that now!!
I just talked to my friend yesterday and she is 13 weeks pregnant. She had the same problem about not having an appetite. She lost 3 pounds in the beginning but her appetite is back and she is able to eat more now. So you should be somewhat back to normal by the 2nd trimester:)
Ahh, your pets are so cute. I love when mine snuggle. Sometimes I will go in my room and find all 3 of them, 2 dogs and the cat, all on our bigger dogs bed snuggling, i just love it. I can definetly see a bump showing. Don't feel like you shouldnt be showing so soon, everyone is different, and no matter when you show, it is a beautiful thing! I have friends who looked like they were 5 months or more by 12 weeks lol. I would definetly talk to your doc about being dizzy, hope you feel better.
I agree, when they snuggle together its sooo precious! I'm excited to show, I just wasn't sure if it counted as showing or if its just bloat. Someone told me "oh you won't show til later because your torso is so long". haha WRONG! lol
thats what they told me to and yea i am only 8 weeks 3 days and (well its what baby measures lol) but i already feel my tummy tightening up and i also just think it is bloat but i still love it=]
There is FOR SURE a bump and its so super cute. Everyone shows at different stages. Depending on where exactly your uterus is in your abdomen depends on how early you show. Your growing uterus is pushing up everything else so thats why you have a bump and its a cute bump and i love it !!!!!!!
I am so excited for you .. I hope you feel better love ... only 3 more weeks and your outta the first trimester.
thank you, that makes me feel better! that makes sense, because the lil part that sticks out couldn't be baby yet....but it soo makes sense that its just the part of my tummy thats being pushed up. I have been feeling a little better already, just this week, and I even got off my butt and cleaned a little. I'm so excited to be done with this 1st trimester!!
aww thanks!! I got a bella band type of thing, except its longer and I can't figure out if I'm supposed to wear it like a tube top or just under the boobs.
@frowniebrown86 I have several belly bands.. You were them as a tube top, but just under your boobs.. you wear it when you pants can no longer tie up, the belly band is tight enough so that you can wear your pants unbuttoned! Now that I cant wear my old pants at all! Im now in Mat pants.. I still wear the bands, I find they work well as undershirts! :)
I can definitely see a bump :) Your dog and cat snuggling together was so cute. I hope that the shower problem stays better, that sounds scary! Your halloween costume was really cute!!
I agree with aesweety about the showers. I think you should take a cooler shower. I have the same problem when I shower if the water is too hot, or especially if it's really steamy. You can also leave the door open while you shower to let the steam out, if you can't stand too cool of a shower.
we think Maggie and Bella (Maggie was the black dog in the beginning of the video, and Bella was the one in her cage with our cat) are flat coats...prob not pure bread though, since we got them out in the country for free. I never saw what the mom or dad doggy looked like but they have sooo many FCR traits..including the kissing thing!
I've had that shower problem too, I used to get it all the time if I stayed in the shower too long or if it was too steamy in there. Shorter, cooler showers seemed to fix the problem but it was impossible for me to get everything done and I LOVE hott showers. Maybe try asking your doctor to test you for anemia, mine checked me for it and I am really anemic so now I take iron and vitamin c and dont have that problem anymore, can take all the long hot showers I want.
Ya I feel like the temp had to be a big part of it, which sucks bc I LOVE hot showers too! I like to take my time too! I got a blood test at 5 weeks and it said my iron levels were well over the danger zone for anemia, so that can't be it. I guess I'll find out more when I get my prenatal workup back!
Do you eat before or after your shower? Low blood sugar levels can ake you feel faint and dizzy. That could be why you feel better in the afternoon shower as you have eaten breakfast and lunch first.
Totally agree on the not eating thing. Food is just yukie at the moment!
haha I eat 1st thing, I'm trying to be a little piggy in the morning bc I'm so scared of getting sick. Blueberry pancakes seem to be all I want so I'm stickin' with that! This shower thing is weird, its one thing I was not expecting during pregnancy! I hope the food thing gets better for us both!
have you called your doctor about the faint/dizzy feeling? i'm not doctor, nor am I pregnant, but I know generally people's blood pressure is lower in the morning, and then heat can make you dizzy. Definetely talk to your doctor.
ya I gave them a call because I thought it was a side effect of the h1n1 shot, but my doc and her nurse were out that day :( I put a little step stool in the shower so I can sit for most of it now, it helps a lot!
