Congrats, Espion!! :) :) Yeah, I can't imagine trying to move (especially so far!) with such a wee one! Anyone that can help, on either end of the move?? Maybe hiring someone??
So nice to see so many of us due around the same time! :)
Maitrima, I spent most of my 20s married & happily taking care of other people's children, with no real desire to have my own. I was also told I couldn't have kids, which helped with my family (instead of having to explain why I didn't want them, I could just say I couldn't have 'em at all). In fact, I was rabidly childfree in my 20s! *lol* My life has changed so much since I got divorced though, and scared as I am, I'm pretty excited to be having a baby now! :)
AFM, I'm in NY visiting my partner. However, I think this is the last time I can do this; the 200 mile journey (each way!) via public transportation is just too damn brutal now that I'm further along! When I came over at 4.5wk, I just had some upset stomach & ate some crystallised ginger whenever I got too queasy on the bus & was fine. Now my m/s is worse than that, and the exhaustion is just too darn much. I think if we're not able to coordinate him moving within the next two months, I'll just have him come visit. We just went 6wk w/out seeing each other, which is the longest we've been apart since we started dating. *sniffle* There's no space for him to visit where I'm staying, but we can stay with a friend of mine who lives half a block away. :)
Sex actually became painful! ??! 5wk in, it was the same as usual - in fact, I was hornier & orgasms came *very* easily! I'm nearly 12wk now, and my first couple days here, we couldn't have any deep penetration, or even anything resembling such! Makes it hard to enjoy yourself when you're constantly on alert that it's gonna hurt! My joints hurt a lot too, which makes just about any position uncomfortable. Ugh. Annoying!! However, this morning it was fine & back to normal; I wonder if it was because I was slightly constipated before?? It's never hurt before when constipated! But, omg, I felt soooo tender inside!
Here's hoping we're back to normal for good! ;)
Heartburn/acid reflux has begun, and I was nearly despondent earlier, when I realized this is only the beginning of such agonies. *sigh* I've been really lucky re:m/s though, in that it's nearly all just been nausea, no actual vomiting. Thank goodness for the small things, right? ;)









Welcome Samsarah! Maitrima & Espion!!!! Pleased to meet you. I hope you will enjoy sharing your experiences here. Many ladies just had their babies and we all loved sharing in this forum, in fact I find myself referring to the thread ladies like they are my real friends- like when I talk to my doctor I will say... "yeah that happened to a woman I know" referring to a friend from this thread.

Good luck on the move!!
I hope things across the board lighten up for you. I was surprised that once I started feeling less queasy, after the first trimester, I had heartburn for the first few days (for pretty much the first time in my life - I had to ask my husband if that's what it was!), and then it pretty much went away. I'm sure it might come back, but I am glad for the reprieve. I hope something similar happens for you!

Congratulations on your pregnancies!!! Hope you enjoy this thread!
