It sounds like you are in the home stretch so keep us posted! I'm with you being pregnant/nursing for many years...my 1st are 17 months apart, and the last 2 are 2 yrs...I was pregnant and/or nursing for almost 5 years! It was rough at the time, but cherish this time as it goes by so quickly! Enjoy your last few weeks of knowing exactly where your baby is at all times - LOL!pregochef said:I do enjoy being pregnant right up until week 35ish, then I get anxious... I had my son 15 months ago, so I feel like I have been pregnant for 2 years straight! And to top it off, when I had my son, he was a week late.
I love many aspects of pregnancy, but I'm glad to be nearing home-stretch.
I do love being pregnant though, and can't wait to have the next one! I think our family is shocked that we've waited this long for another one (our oldest was 15 months when we found out we were pregnant with #2... he was 8 months when we started trying again, we just couldn't wait! lol). Of course, DH being in another country helps with the waiting part!

I didn't think I'd want one so soon after the first - he was premature, so I hated going to the hospital everyday for more shots to stop the labor. Of course, the delivery was no fun, but I was ready for another one by the end of the year! #2 was a stinker and gave me preterm labor as well, but then decided to be stubborn and wait to come the day after his due date. DH kept telling me that he couldn't watch me have an epidural again, and jinxed us - I delivered my youngest within an hour of getting to the hospital (way too late for an epidural! lol).

I'm serious... once I started eating more (especially at breakfast), I didn't feel sick at all. I stumbled on that by accident one morning when I was running late to work, and decided that I might as well take my time, as I didn't have any appt's until about 10:30 that day. I made myself an egg and cheese sandwich with bacon and orange juice. That was the first day in 14 weeks of pregnancy that I didn't feel sick...

Our 3 yr old gets asked by other people if he wants a brother or sister....we have been teaching him at home to say "I don't need a baby, I need a puppy!"

Hey everyone ! Im 7 weeks, im due June 16th, its my first and im sooo excited. I go on the 29th of Nov. for my first U/S, and by then i will be around 12 weeks!! So far, i havent really had any nausea, i usually only get cravings if i see something on TV.. but nothing weird yet! Im so happy there are more of us on here to talk about this with!! I just love watching our first two play together because they're close enough in age to be best buds. I love being pregnant and I get sad at the prospect of being "done" having babies one day. :cry:

Anyway, good luck and just remember that the end is very near. Then all you have to worry about is sleepless nights

, so there is a slight possibility that we will be advised to not have more babies after this delivery (though we really want to--we'd like a house full of God's precious babies if we are so blessed). Just in case we have to call it quits, I really look forward to having this added element of long-awaited surprise at least once in our lives.

It's sometimes such a surprise. One of my friends was having a terrible time getting pregnant. I don't know how long they were on fertility methods, but finally, probably after several years (with medical intervention) they got pregnant with girl/boy twins. They were SO excited. Then their babies were only a couple months old when they found out there were pregnant again--NATURALLY. And guess what?! They were having TWINS again! So they went from years of not being able to have babies to suddenly having 4 babies all in the same year.DanielleQ said:
The Lord works in mysterious ways...We could find out right now and probably could have found out at my 2nd ultrasound 3 or 4 weeks ago if we really wanted to (and if baby cooperated). This is week 20 for me. We scheduled an ultrasound for next week or the week after, but I still think we're going to stick to our guns and be surprised at birth on gender. This baby is kicking ALL DAY like none of my other babies did. And if my son or daughter sits in my lap I'm just sure they can feel the kicks through my belly because they're so hard. Amazing!jrstephens said:
Right now I'm still at every 4 weeks. With my first I went into full-blown labor at 31 weeks. I remember losing my plug in the hospital that early and being hooked up to all the machines--having to take those icky shots and then pills every 4 hours or else my hard labor started up again. Ugh! Bedrest is NOT fun.jrstephens said:
I think after that I was at my OB's office every week and many times TWICE per week. I've had better experiences since then so I'm thinking your schedule is closer to normal.
Congratulations! She's adorable!pregochef said:
I felt the same way too! I know a lot of other woman who have had the same worries... I guess it's normal. I was especially worried about it because my first DS was a preemie and was taken to another hospital an hour away from where I was, right after I had him. Don't get me wrong, I loved him right away, but it really didn't sink in that he was mine until we took him home. The bond was there, but it was just hard at first, because I wasn't allowed to hold him until I got out of the hospital and went to see him. But when my second was born, it was instant - it was like my heart doubled to allow me to love them both equally. I was so relieved that I had worried over nothing!DanielleQ said:
