Q: Couple of Questions

Okay I just relazied that i'm almost 6 months along I will be 6 months along on the 28th. I have only gained 10 lbs. I'm still able to fit in alot of my size 5 pants. They are tight but still fit. This is my secondchild and most people show sooner. Should I be concerned? I was twice as big with my daughter on nov and she was due in apirl. So i'm futher along this time. Okay and my last question is kinda personal. But I have extreme vaginal itching. I do suffer from gential herpes however I just got treated for an outbreak and have no lesions and haven't for the last two weeks and it itches so freaking bad. Is there anything I can do about it or does anyone even had this?

I've never had it so I cant relate to it, but if it is bothering you that bad maybe you need to consult a physician. About the size and measurements of the baby everyone's body handles pregnancy different so I would def. Call your doct. And set something up

If they are tight stop wearing them! Did you not know you were pregnant until 6 months into it?

We've known since I was 12 weeks but after that point we didn't pay alot of attention to how far along I was it is more like yes i'm pregnant i'm going to have the baby in feb just never put how far along I was together. I mean we did in weeks just not matching that up with how many months. If that makes any sense.

Well the itching could be a yeast infection...I guess we are a lot more likely to get them when we're preggy. I would definately go to the doctor about that, though. As far as you showing, have you had any ultrasounds and did the doctor seem concerned? I would make an appt asap if I were you.

I'm on the oregon health plan which is our state funded insurance so I was oly allowed one ultrasound and it was at 12 wks luckily I have either a well endowed son or its actually a girl and still had a tail but my first ultrasound with my daughter was earlier and she had no tail so I think I have a boy. But the dr I have everyone says hes not the best. My appt is monday to go see him. So we'll see what he says I no theres nothing wrong with the baby he kicks so hard it hurts me. Lol

Some women do not show much at all until later on, but don't you have a right to a second opinion? Their are times that you must be firm with your Dr. But definitely get things checked out.
Sincerely,
sandy
