Re: 9 weeks and counting

hi

im 10 weeks this weekend with baby #2,

congrats on being pregnant but my advice is you dont start to "feel" pregnant until that little person inside you moves!!!! about 16 - 18 weeks....... you only know your pregnant because someone told you that you are , when you feel it move you realise you have created a living thing thats moving and growing inside you........

you will probably start to get a belly about 12 - 14 weeks which will help you feel a bit more like you are but just go with the flow, ultrasounds are great too cause at least you can see for 10mins or so that you are pregnant!!

good luck with it all

congrats again!!!

What do you mean that you don't have any symptoms. These are symptoms. Listen to your body when it's telling you to sleep. You and your baby need this rest. Check out this site for helpful information:

Hun, I would start running now!  You will have many mothers after you because of your lack of morning sickness! lol.

Not everyone feels pregnant for several months.  Odds are, you are having a boy.  They say you have a smoother 1st and 2nd trimester with boys, but have a harder 3rd trimester and greater risk of complications during labour and delivery.  With a girl, they say you are sicker for the first 2 trimesters and have much easier last trimester and the deliveries are generally much easier.  Hhhhmmm, I have proved the theories, got 4 girls already, and know that #5 is going to be a girl too! lol.

If you are worried, go and ask your gp for an early dating scan.

I think you're pretty lucky if you haven't had any morning sickness.......I suffered terribly with morning sickness and sensitivity to ALL smells.....It was horrible, I couldn't walk into any closed up room without wanting to throw up!!!!

Just try your best to be patient and I'm sure as soon as you start to show you'll be so thankful that you didn't have morning sickness.

Best of wishes for a wonderful pregnancy.

Re: 9 weeks and counting

Hey i felt exactly the same as you!! ive never had morning sickness an im now 23weeks pregnant and im having a boy..All ive done from the start and still to now is sleep.If your tired then sleep,cos your body is tired cos its working for 2now.Aslo the reason why your so tired at the start is because the placenta is still forming so your body is doing that extra work too..Also they say by the 2nd trimester you get your energy back but i havnt so im going to go get some more blood tests done. Ive only felt movement the last couple of weeks and now there strong and he hasnt stopped for 2days straight lol.

I felt very tired with each pregnancy. If you can sleep, I suggest sleep. Its good for you and your growing baby.

With my second baby I had no morning sickness. With the others I did. Appreciate not feeling sick!!

Your not going to gain weight faster by sleeping. When your pregnant your body goes through all these different changes and it NEEDS extra sleep so sleep!

Aside from tiredness, sick feeling all day and feeling the baby moving now i have no other symptoms haha

Re: 9 weeks and counting

Congrats, and do get all the rest you can!!!  Like Izzy said, you need to rest as your body is going into overdrive to make sure that your baby has everything it needs to grow strong.  This makes you very tired, I was dead tired about 3 hours into work with my first, and that was after 10 hours of sleep at night.  And as long as you are eating well, you will gain what you need to, and you will lose it afterwards.  My MIL told me that the more you gain, from eating well, the healthier the baby and the better your milk.  Though this is what is believed for them, and I think it holds truth.  Either way, just enjoy it now, cause soon you won't want to wear anything but sweatpants, and all the moving will make you say how you just wish the baby is in your arms.  It's a wonderful thing, and all that you wanna feel will come before you know it.  Take care!

Re: 9 weeks and counting

Hey there,

You sound exactly like me.   I never had any symptoms for ages, just so damn tired that I could hardly lift my head off the pillow.    My boobs got a bit bigger but that was about it.  

Enjoy this time while you can, things will start to happen b4 you know it.  Get plenty of rest when you can.  Cause later on there is no way you will be able to sleep, If you get big.   The baby needs this time to develop.  Putting on a bit of weight comes with being preggers so don't worry about that.   Go with the flow if your body is telling you it needs something give it to your body and bubs.

Hi there. I actually don't think you're doing yourself a favor by not sleeping when you're tired. Your body is going through a lot of changes right now that is resulting in fatigue. If you don't have to do anything, then I suggest that you just lie down and sleep.  When I was pregnant with my first, I felt fatigued too at about 8-11 weeks. I actually just had to sit down and I would fall asleep, I was that tired.

As far as weight gain, watch what you eat. Eat healthy and watch your portion but do not starve yourself. And take prenatal vitamin!

As far as feeling pregnant, I think for most new moms to be, the one single even that will make things real for you is when you hear your baby's heartbeat. Have you been to the doctor and the heartbeat yet?

You will not be shoing for a while yet. For me, people were quite amazed when I told them I was 5 months pregnant with my first.

Hang in there and good luck. What you're feeling is natural and common. It won't be long until you start seeing changes in your body, as well as feeling the changes.
