Last night I got that tight pain feeling at the top of my abdomen, what I understand to be the tendons stretching, I don't notice my stomach being larger but that means there is some growing going on!

I think 2nd trimester has started, the bad symptoms are gone as far as I can tell!!!

It's so strange....last week all my fear had passed and I was SURE everything was going to be fine...then yesterday's scare kicked me in the butt! Now I'm totally terrified of losing the baby again. The chances are good that everything will be fine, and now the polyp is explaining the bleeding, but it's still scary to see blood everytime I wipe and sometime it's even enough to tinge the toilet water reddish.

I know that I shouldn't worry, but I can't help it...I'm so protective of this little bugger. I miss the secure feeling of last week!

[jrayn]

amberbella, I hope the bleeding stops so you don't have to keep worrying, that would really be stressful!

I think this is 18-20 weeks according to traditional LMP dating, so about 16 weeks gestation. I'm still in the throes of HG and feeling pretty sicky, so this is a great milestone for me to look forward to!

[Brisen]

I'm thinking I might be feeling some flutters... I'm getting more and more sure, but still not 100%. And my uterus seems to have had a growth spurt since my appointment last week; it's definately higher. My nausea is much better, but I'm still sooooo tiiiiiiiiired.

[Nettie]

Me too; my nausea is almost completely gone, but the tiredness seems worse than ever! I'm sleeping 8+ hrs at night but still can't function well and I need a nap by early afternoon. Zzzzzzz...
I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow.

[gypsyfaery]

Just wanted to say everybody...I am due Oct. 6th. I just had my first MW appointment and heard baby's heartbeat...YAY! We are on baby number 3 and OMG I am big already! I thought I was long over the sickies but a few days ago I started feeling yucky again...Must remember to drink more water!

Anyhow, Hi! I hope to post more regularily now that hubby's back in town

[gypsyfaery]

Jrayn your tummy is lovely thanks for the pics.

[HeatherB]

Welcome, gypsyfaery! I'm also pg with my 3rd. I keep thinking I look a lot bigger already BUT it's hard to tell (yeah, started out rather fluffy!). Still waiting to hear that hb - So glad you got to hear yours!!

I was doing SO well with water and food for a few days and have since slacked off. No wonder I feel cruddy! Though sometimes I think I feel cruddy and therefore don't have the energy to drink 16 cups of water a day and eat 5 balanced meals!

[glendora]

I have a line!!! Like, I know it's a weird thing to get excited about, but any sign that things are "progressing" is good enough for me!!!

Anyone else?

[crazycandigirl]

I don't get a line down my tummy with pregnancy, but I do have a very noticeable baby bump. I love it.

[HeatherB]

My bump is getting much more noticeable, too! Though it's only noticeable to ME when I lay on it, at least it's progress. Having not heard the heartbeat yet I'm a bit more prone to worry, but at least things are definitely progressing.

AND I just got a beautiful tiny fitted diaper for this baby, and even my DH thinks it's lovely!!

[gypsyfaery]

I have never gotten a line either...Many many stretch marks though! LOL!

[jrayn]

: THANKS gypsyfaery!

I had a line with my last pregnancy, I don't remember when it appeared but it stayed for a LONG time after I had dd. The old wives tale from the link isn't true b/c my line went up between my ribcage, to the sternum and she is a girl.

[Brisen]

I have a line, but instead of going up to my navel, it has only made it halfway up. So it's hidden by my baby bulge.

Dd has had a line since birth. I thought it had pretty much faded, but it seems darker now... not sure if it's from hormones in my breastmilk, or if I'm just noticing it more because it was on my mind.

I'm pretty sure I'm feeling tiny flutters, now and then.

[amberbella]

I'm feeling super comfortable and confident about this pregnancy again since my blood test came back good and my bleeding is both explained and has stopped. My sickness is almost completely gone...every now and then I'll smell something that makes me gag...but I haven't thrown up in 2 weeks.
