I'm 26 Weeks Prego With My First!
Posted: 09-24-07 19:08pm

I have felt movements since i was 17 weeks and now at 26 weeks they are much stronger... keeps me awake at night sometimes. I don't have a way to post pics yet Sad I had my first u/s at 20 weeks and my Dr. said he thinks it might be a girl but couldnt say for sure, I think he is right... Since i discovered I was pregnant I have just "felt" I was having a lil girl! I have gained 20 pounds so far and my baby is starting to look higher up then before (whereareas she used to sit more around my hips) I have checked this site out a lot today, this is my first time here and I am carrying just like all you other women out there who are having baby girls. If it's a girl for sure (which i'll find out in a month from a 4D u/s)... i am going to name her Victoria Ashley ^-^ Well ladies this is my first baby so reply to me with ideas, tips and advice!

Hey there! Welcome to the forum! I'm Amy and I'll be 31 weeks on Wednesday with a baby boy! Smile We're naming him Dante Alexander. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and keep us updated when you find out for sure what you're having. Smile

Suzy, are you still having those shooting back pains? Sad I hope everything is alright.

Congratulations! I'm almost 29 weeks and also pregnant with a girl. We're naming her Tessa Noelle. This is my first. I'm 29 years old. I've gained 14 lb. so far, which the doc says is good but makes me feel like a beached whale. (It really doesn't help that while I was in college I dealt with anorexia, which I've recovered from except for the negative body image thoughts. I'm wondering if they ever do go away as it's been 7 years in recovery now.)

My baby has been sitting low, low my entire pregnancy and she's still pretty low. I'm scheduled to have a 4D ultrasound too; it's only just over a week away now (Oct. 3). I can't wait!

i like the name you picked out for your little girl too and your prego pics were so cute. you may have a little bump but its getting bigger, no worries tho cuz your so pettite and fit as is. i'm sure you will get much bigger in the next few weeks. i think i might be having braxton hicks as well because ive noticed my tummy tightens up and releases and it kinda hurts too. but idk much about those so lets hope thats normal lol. my baby is due dec 31st i am so excited!

Congrats on your baby girl Smile I can't wait for my 4D ultrasound as well! I love gaining the extra weight with being pregnant i think it's sexy and glamorous in it's own way lol. i weighed 105 at start and i'm at 125 now at 26 weeks. I think i look healthy and i feel pretty good too except for the achy back pains which never seem to go away and some minor pelvic area pains from time to time. oh yeah, my due date is dec 31st so maybe i'll have a christmas baby or new years baby lol.

Yeah my bump seems to be getting bigger everyweek!!! Smile no stretch marks yet, hopefully none at all!!! Laughing

The only complaint i have is not being able to sit up for long.....i have a bad posture so i tend to slouch over my belly and with that my back aches slightly. Thinking about getting a massage to work those knots out!!! Smile

I am more scared so far then excited about gracies arrival!!!But i'm sure everything will fall into place when she is here!! Smile

Okay I'm NOOB to this pregnancy thing but... what is a sciatica? lol I am guessing I don't have one of those lol. I can't wait for Victoria to make her arrival. Are you planning on a vaginal birth or requesting a c-section? I want a c-section but idk if the Dr.s up here are like the ones in my home town California so I might be having a reg vaginal delivery unless suden complications occur. Are you having to go pee 10 times in the middle of the night too? lol ttyl hunny~

lol yes i pee all the time

sciatica is when the sciatic nerve in your body acts up. it causes shooting pains down your legs and back that hurt really bad
and i have carpel tunnel syndrome lol
so ive got constant back pains and a starin in my back that gets unbearable sometimes

i am going to have a vaginal birth if i can
howevere im most likely not going to be able to go to full term Sad so she will probably be here before december 15th

No stretch marks for me yet either and hopefully it will stay that way lol.
I am scared about Victoria's arrival. I can feel her squirming around insde of me right now lol... shes getting much stonger and bigger. Sometimes it feels harder to breathe and my balance just isnt what it used to be lol.

Sad Sorry to hear that about the carpel tunnel syndrome. How come Kristen might not make it to full term? My baby is due the 31st of Dec I can't wait for her to come. I just hope she dosnt come on christmas day or new years lol. Do you have a b/f or husband? If so have him rub your back, that might help you some Smile I have my b/f of nine years rub mine and it really does make me feel better, that... and a warm bath^^

ive only gained 11 lbs my whole pregnancy and the doctor doesnt think im going to be able to make it full term because it could be dangerous
Sad

and my left boob is bigger than my right lol
its normal to have uneven breasts!!! it shouldnt have any effect on breast feeding i dont think Smile

im sure theres lots of advice on breast feeding that people can give you but its not for everyone
some women arent able to breastfeed at all
