Guest guest Posted April 11, 2001 Report Share Posted April 11, 2001 Hi These paints don't smell like that. So I think they are okay. If anyone sprays anything smelly they go downstairs into the gargage. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first he was pretty good about it, the last few weeks all he does is joke about " not getting any. " It's so frustrating, sometimes I just want to throw something at him (but I don't), I just try to explain to him how hurtful his comments are, etc. Hang in there! It does get better!!!! maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don;t have another one until week 20. > The dr told me yesterday my insurance probably wont cover it. Your > lucky that you get all these u/s'. Hi Pam, I think my u/s's have been approved because of everything that has happened; my insurance company considers me high risk and Dr. Check has a lot of pull in the infertility industry so most insurance companies don't question his judgement. We'll probably do 2 more ultrasounds before I'm released, I don't know what will happen once I get turned over to my OB. He also specializes in high risk pregnancies/deliveries (we're taking every precaution possible because of my mother's pregnancy history). I really hope I'm able to have more u/s's after being turned over. It's just so calming to be able to SEE the baby and know everything's okay. I'm planning on doing a 3d u/s as soon as possible. maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2001 Report Share Posted April 17, 2001 Amy What is KWIM?? I agree that you need to stay on top of the iron thing. Better to catch it early. It irked me that the dr didn;t check mine again. I am still tired, plus have been out of breath. I know those are both pg things but I also read they are signs of low iron.

Has your dh ever stood up to her and > told her to leave you guys alone? Pam, That's a very good question.... Yes, he has. I think the first time he truly stood up to her was the night of the car incidence. She never expected him to press charges and/or take her to court. She figured she could misbehave, as usual, and he would pick up the tab. Her little temper tantrum cost over $15,000. He also has had a constant fight with her about the shower. He's not going along with her wishes of staying away, which is what's going to make it really tough for me to say that I don't want to be there. I don't know how to back out gracefully, that's why I'm thinking of faking sick (but I hate the thought of it). maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2001 Report Share Posted April 26, 2001 Hey Pam, I bought a maternity bathing suit about a month ago. I also only wear two piece suits so it was a bit of a shock! It's best to get one early while there's still a good selection. I actually found a really cute black one from Steena, it looks like a very short baby doll dress and not the least bit like a maternity bathing suit. Good luck!!!! maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to believe all this is going on > inside us and we don't even know it. Everyone in awhile I will say to > my dh can you believe I have this little baby growing in my tummy. > > What did you decide w/the shower? When is it? Hi Pam, I actually started using the Vaseline about 4 1/2 years ago. I only put it on my legs, tummy, butt and arms though. was at my condo one day while we were dating and asked for some moisturizer, when I gave it to him he proceeded to throw about $400 of Clarins products in the trash. Told me it was all junk and handed me a jar of Vaseline from his gym bag. I thought he was joking, waited for him to leave then took everything out of the trash! Apparently he's recommended it in his office for 20+ years, it works great! Our u/s appointment was amazing! I am becoming so addicted to u/s, I don't know what I'm going to do when I can't get one whenever I want???? The shower is this weekend. I decided not to attend, after thinking about it I agree with everyone, it's not worth upsetting myself or the baby. Thank you everyone for your support! maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Pam, I still have a tendency to get adult acne occassionally so I don't use the vaseline on my face, chest, or back. I've never had a problem with my legs or stomach area. It does feel really good after shaving your legs. Have you ever gotten acne in those areas? If you have, I would avoid it. There is one form of acne medication that's safe to use while pregnant. I don't remember what it's called but I'm supposed to pick it up at the pharmacy today, I'll let you know what it is and you can ask your doctor about it. said it doesn't work very well, but it's better than nothing. maria > > > Thanks for the web sites.

But I will have to wait until I am done having > children. My cystic acne is definetly back since I went off bcp. I > hate it. Pam, From what I understand about cystic acne and accutane, the accutane works for a certain number of years (approx. 7), then the symptoms return. It probably has nothing to do with going off bcp, especially since they're not strong enough to stop cystic acne. Also, if you're planning on nursing you'll have to wait a little longer before going back on accutane. I walked into a patient yesterday who recently went back on accutane after being clear for 8 years, it's amazing how quickly it works! Hang in there, you're making a baby, that's more important than clear skin! maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2001 Report Share Posted May 3, 2001 > How do they know they placenta is taking over? I'm not a doctor but here's my nonmedical definition..... I believe they look at a combination of the blood results and u/s. After about 10-11 weeks, the HcG levels start to decrease (we're actually down to about 89,000), the estrodial continues to increase and the progesterone stabilizes then decreases. By viewing the baby you can tell how it is responding. I could be completely off, but that sounds sensible to me. I'll ask my doctor how he knows next time I see him. maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2001 Report Share Posted May 9, 2001 Pam, I'm glad that your dr's appt went well. Sounds like everything is moving right along. I can understand about the pg being stressful. I think it's completely normal after a loss. I know I was always worried and found myself calling the dr then usual. Oh well that's what they are there for. As for Sharon, I think she conceived naturally, but I'm not 100% sure. It's all so sad! Love & hugs, Jo-Ann Jo-ann Jo-AnnI am so sorry to hear about Sharon. Did she conceive naturally? I know her and I had talked about IVF and adoption. I hope she is able to enjoy her wedding. Please let her know how sorry I am and that I am thinking of her.Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2001 Report Share Posted May 10, 2001 Pam I said the same thing to my dh. I don't know if I would be able to go through another 9 months of sitting on pins and needles. It is hard, it really is unfair that we can't really enjoy our pg and that innocent feeling that SHOULD go with it. I try not to stress out because I know it is not good for the baby but it is hard not to. Take care. ep 12-00 7wk2d > Kim > > Thanks for the info on the kicking. > > You feel exactly like I feel.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 Pam, thanks so much for the info! I guess I have awhile for that test. Hope you are doing ok.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2001 Report Share Posted May 27, 2001 Hi Pam, I went shopping throughout NY city, then we were in Bronxville for the graduation. I'm not real familiar with the Bronxville area, I know it's about 20-30 minutes outside of NY. Sam goes to Sara Lawrence College. maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2001 Report Share Posted May 30, 2001 Hi Pam, I think I check that book out. Thanks. As soon as I am finished this class, I will have some free time thank goodness. Re: Pam's u/s update It is hard to believe now. When I had the u/s you look at the screen and think that little thing is kicking around inside me??? Now that I am starting to feel more activity its becoming more real.I wanted to mention that those books scare me to. I don't like reading about that kind of stuff. I bought The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy. I really like it. Its fun reading.Pam20 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
