stretching pains. The baby is kicking

I was just curious about what other people
are experiencing. I am starting to get
alot of strech marks of my sides and legs,
I bought some lotion at walmart but it
does not seem to help. Do you know of
anything else that works? I feel the baby
alot now, but only when I am laying still
and quiet.

This is my first pregnancy also. I am
about 22 weeks. Your experience seems
the same as mine. I always try to
remember that every pregnancy is very,
very unique. I'm sure like me, you have
been reading all kinds of stuff about
things you may be feeling and such - quit
reading that stuff. It makes you worry.
Don't totally quit reading it, but also
don't compare your pregnancy to everything
you read. As long as your doctor say's
you and the baby are doing well then
whatever is normal for you is what your
experiencing. I thankfully can say that
I haven't experinced too much discomfort
(yet), just some fatigue and moodiness.
The other night I had some cookies and
milk and the baby did some gymnastics for
me. Maybe because of all the sugar.
Enjoy your pregnancy and lots of warm
wishes to you and your family.

I am 21 wks 3 days. This is my second
child, but I had my first child nearly 14
years ago. It has been a long time, and I
had my first child when I was only 16. I
don't really remember what being pregnant
felt like then, because I didn't pay
attention to symptoms/signs until after
the 5th month of pregnancy when I found
out I was indeed pregnant.
I had terrible nausea/vomitting all day
long from weeks 6 to 13. That has all
gone now thank goodness! I still have
problems with fatigue, and with high acid
levels (acid reflux). I can't really say
it is heartburn, because it never settles
in my chest. It rises up to the back of
my throat.
The extra weight I am carrying is really
putting strain on my lower back. Some
mornings, after sleeping most the night, I
can barely move to get out of bed, because
my lower back is so stiff.
I had my last appointment november 25th.
I had been worried because I han't really
felt the baby move yet. The practitioner
just told me I should anytime now.
Well that night it was as if a switch had
been flipped. I started feeling the baby
move/kick. I have felt the baby move
every few hours since then. There have
been two or three days (not in a row)
where the baby has hardly moved at all.
Those days scared me.
Sex is getting more difficult. Just in
the past three weeks my stomach has
doubled in size. My uterus has grown so
fast, pushing all my organs up under my
lungs. With my big belly it makes sex
uncomfortable. Time to find new
positions, I guess. Also, because of my
belly size now, my regular clothes are now
a thing of the past. Time now for
stretchy waist bands, and bigger shirts.

I'm 21wks today and it seems like
everytime I look in the mirror my belly
has gotten bigger and there are more
streach marks on my hips.
This is my first pregnancy also. Baby is
moving all the time it seems and even
seems to have his own little routine going
on in there.
People keep telling me I am so big for 4
and 1/2 months but I have a really small
torso so baby has no where to go but out,
funny how everyone has to tell you there
opinion when your pregnant.

I am just now 24 weeks, I think it is
twins. My first baby in over 20 years.
I have no uterus.
Cannot get .Er .Dr's to listen. Wrote a
lawyer this morning on email.
Try to send email to a number of health
clinics here their email didnt work.
Still trying to get medical care.
I had really bad morning sickness up til
14 weeks or so. Lots of movement for a
long time now, easier to feel than in a
uterus. Lately lots of pain from cramped
quarters. Lots of nausea but not morning
sickness different--like when you wear too
tight clothes or press on your belly too
hard. I been having those for 2 weeks.
Diminished movement and not so much
flipping around--staying in pretty much
same position. Hard kicks with lots of
pain--but that's cuz my pregnancy is in my
abdomen.
Lots of sharp pains in my privates.
Still tender boobs but not so much
"stabbing nipple pains" anymore.
Trouble breathing--no heartburn--thank
.God.
Good luck ladies I am due april 1
2006--think I will have early though.
