Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Hello, I am now 12 weeks pregnant and I have another ob appt on Wednesday. This is my first pregnancy and I was wondering what should I be expecting at these appointments. I have only gained 2 pounds as of this morning. I still don't believe that I am pregnant. I know I am though. I had a hard time accepting this pregnancy, but now I just want to feel " it " move. My waist is starting to expand a little. I have not had " morning sickness, " but I have not been able to eat a lot. Things in our life have been stressful. My brother-in-law and his daughter are both in Iraq, my boyfriend just left to go to school and is then going to go on the road truck-driving, we're having a baby, my boyfriend's mother hates me and aggravates me all the time, I am just a wreck. I don't know what to do. I feel all alone. I know having the baby is going to be worth it. I WANT this baby. Is anyone else out there alone? How did you get through the nights? My days are fine because I am busy, but my nights are long. Really long. I just don't know what to do to fill my time. While my boyfriend is gone, I miss the companionship. I just don't know what to do. Even when we get married, I will still be alone afterwards because he will have to go back on the road.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 First off congrates on the baby. You will probably feel it move around 18-22 weeks, since you are a first time mom. Next my husband is in truck driving school right now, and will be getting a regional job after he graduates. He will be gone during the week and home every weekend. I am actually okay with this because I remember that he was not very much help with our son when he was born. Don't get me wrong he was a great father, but the baby scared him because he was so little and fragile(9Lbs 2oz) I thought he was little. Next my mother in law does everything possible to irritate me to. She is a perfectly nice person but she says the stupidest stuff, and always butts her nose in. She is having marital problems and is using my hubby for more support right now, even thought he is busy taking care of his growing family. Some people are so selfish. If you ever feel lonely feel free to e mail me. My baby is due in February, and there is a good chance that my hubby will be gone, but at least I have a good support system with my folks. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Ali, I think you should pat yourself on the back for the two pound gain. I am 15 weeks pregnant with my first child and I have LOST 15 lbs. My waist line is definitely expanding but I can't gain weight to save my life. My doctor has reprimanded me but I feel like I am doing everything I can. When I had my lap RNY on 1/15/04 I weighed 280. I was at 194 when I found out I was pregnant on 8/14 and today, at 15 weeks pregnant, I weigh 180. I haven't lost any weight for a couple of weeks but I haven't gained any either... Anyway, I just wanted to point that out because I saw that some were concerned about gaining too much weight during their pregnancy and I think some of us don't realize we can have the opposite problem. Hang in there with all of the other stuff you've got going on. Try to keep busy. You aren't alone. Check into groups, clubs, meetings in your area for new or expecting moms. There are plenty of us out there and we need each other. - Divine Lap RNY 1/15/04, Dr Tillquist Denver, Colorado EDD 4/19/05 -- In OSSG-pregnant , " Ali " <ahebe@p...> wrote: > Hello, I am now 12 weeks pregnant and I have another ob appt on Wednesday.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Well, as of this morning, I have lost 2 pounds now. I am absolutely miserable as well. I have an ob appt tomorrow and I am going to talk to him about it. Maybe an antidepressant will help. I don't know what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
