Pregnant Ladies... let's chat!

I have been sleeping awfully and it's really taking a toll on me. I'm averaging about 5-6 hours a night, and truly need about 10.
Also woke up at 5 this morning with the worst leg cramps ever, just screaming for a good 15 minutes before I was able to get rid of them. Blech.

Thankfully the baby is going to grandma's tonight, so maybe I can get some extra sleep.

Eat some bananas or drink some orange juice for those leg cramps. I hope you get some good sleep - I've been waking every 2 hours or so to go to the bathroom.

I eat a banana every day, and OJ every couple days (I get awful heartburn from it)....

I also take a significant amount of calcium and magnesium...

I was SO blessed this time around for getting up to go potty. I didn't have to start getting up until around 6 months, and now I'm usually only up once or twice. It's so much better - now if only I could go to sleep in between.

I had a problem with not sleeping well. I read to not eat close to bed time, which for me is the opposite if I go to bed hungry, I am going to wake up and have a hard time sleeping until I eat something. Also try reading before you go to bed. To much stimulus before you go can cause you to have a hard time sleeping. These two have worked for me. Hope this helps.

I've really suffered with constipation today. I have to be so careful about eating right every day when I am pregnant. I blame it on going to Scotland for two days and only eating out! (Not blaming Scotland - just my decisions on what I ate when I was there!) Have had an enormous dinner plate filled with green salad and hoping it will help!

Having light bleeding. Trying not to worry but it has been getting worse over the last few days. Please pray for it to turn out all right. Many thanks.

I am praying for you and the baby. I had some heavy bleeding at about 10 weeks. It freaked me out. It also hurt really bad when the bleeding would start.The first time I went in and I had an ovarian cyst. Which is nothing to worry about. The cyst had filled with blood and that is what was bleeding. Then it stopped for a week and started again. The 2ND time I wasn't in fear and just prayed and believed over my body/baby that everything was fine. Each time would be really heavy with cramps but would stop after a week. Now at 19 weeks I have not any more bleeding.

Thank you for praying and for the encouragement. I can't get hold of any of my friends who know that I am pregnant to pray with me but sent hubby and daughter to shop while I worshipped which has helped. Will keep you updated.

Praying for you. IIRC, you are still about 2-3 months, right? Sometimes, in the first few months you can have spotting/light bleeding around the time of the month you would have had your period.

I had that happen with my very first pregnancy and remember how scary it was.

Thank you, yes, I'm just over 10 weeks. Have been singing my heart out to God. He asked me to do that in order to conceive and he also told me to do it a couple of days ago. Finding keeping hope difficult but I know with God all things are possible. I'm hoping it is just one of those strange break-through period things. Hopefully will have a scan this week but not sure how much it will show at this stage. One midwife told me that sometimes scans can give you false hope. Our three year old daughter knows I am pregnant and I am praying she doesn't have to cope with loss.

Thank you so much for praying. The bleeding has got steadily heavier but not too much pain at the moment. Praise God that it is a holiday today so my husband was not at work. I was able to rest and have some time alone with God.

Just wanted to add, Praise God that your bleeding stopped. I pray that your pregnancy would continue to go well and that you will in time be holding a beautiful baby in your arms.

Having very bad abdominal pain and lots of bleeding with large clots now. Not looking good. I really hope they can fit me in today for a scan.

So sorry Maharg.

 

[Maharg]

Thank you everyone for your kind words. Am very tired and having some memory flashbacks but other than that feeling ok and family is doing well. Hopefully I'll be back here soon with another pregnancy.

Hi ladies. I had my u/s on Thursday. I am having yet another boy!! Just wondering if everyone could pray. The ob called me on Friday to tell me that I need to have another u/s at a better hospital. They think the babies skull might be deformed. There is a very good chance that the pictures that were examined weren't very good. The baby didn't hold still for anything the entire time. I'm not worried because I know my God is greater. But extra prayers never hurt. Thanks
