re: Hey November Mamas!! Who is all here & how are you

I am using the bathroom 1-3 times a night depending ow much i drank the 2 hours before bed... No biggie... Im used to sleeping less anyways!! haha... This pregnancy def seems harder than my first.. I was prego at 20 so my body was able to handle it better... Now at the ripe age of 28(haha) its a bit harder on my back!! I am also showing much more than with my first... And my first was 10lbs!! Yikess!!!!

AMEN to the 2 hour breaks for prego women LOL! That would be wonderful. I have to lie down once I am home too. It feels like my body is exhausted and I sit at a desk all day as well. I do feel for women who have a more demanding job. High five to all those ladies.......

well guess i shouldnt have been so quick to say that i dont have ot get up in the night to pee!!
4 times last night OMG!!!

is anyone else getting alot of downward preasure??
ive been getting it all day over my right hip .. it feels like ive got a bowling ball in there its sooo heavy.

i have been having b/h contractions off and on for a week. I get up atleast twice a night to pee. I am having alot of lower back pressure. I am carring my little guy very low. I carried my girls high so this is very different for me. I am tired alot too. good luck ladies !! we have just alittle longer to go!!

Due November 25th! Can't WAIT! The sixth month sounds like the rest of you. I've been experiencing heartburn for the first time in my life, holy cow, I hate it! It's with weird things too like cookies....I would assume my hard-as-a-rock stomach is the braxton hicks contractions? Also, I get some painful ones in some painful spots if you know what I mean. The peeing has started up once again, just like in the first few months. Only with me, when I have to pee, I gotta RUN!! I've had crazy energy lately, I cleaned my entire house the other day and then the past few days all I want to do is sleep.
Also, is anyone having breathing problems? No matter how I lay at night, my heart pumps really hard and I feel like I'm not getting enough oxygen. I'm scaring my fiance too cause this morning he woke me up to see if I was okay. Said I was breathing so hard he thought something really bad was gonna happen...

I'm a first-timer, so I don't know exactly what all is happening when it is happening. All I know is I have to pee a lot, and my stomach hurts every time I have to. I'm always tired during the day, and at night I can't sleep. I feel like I'm 9 months already because I can hardly ever catch my breath. I freak out a lot because my heart starts pounding sometimes, and I don't know if it's because my blood pressure may be high or what. And to top all of that off, my little man won't move hardly at all during the day, but as soon as I start getting ready for bed he starts doing flips. Is it weird that I'm not having the braxton hicks?? Am I having them and just don't know? What do they feel like? Someone help me out!

Braxton hicks are where your whole stomach gets hard - but it dosen't hurt and it will go away. I have only had it happen three times so far. I never had them early with my son and I only had it happen MAYBE twice the entire time I was pregnant with him.

I'm due November 27th! This is my first pregnancy so I don't really know what to expect. I pee a lot (at least once an hour at night) and have killer heartburn and constipation! Those are my worst pregnancy symptoms so far. I can't wait until November gets here! Only 3 1/2 more months! Woo hoo!

Your heartpunding is palpatations and is normal unless it doesnt slow down. our hearts have to beat faster to pump blood to our baby. I had to talk to my dr cause i had palpatations that didnt slow and he put me to bed . it lasted all day and finally stopped. Are you active alot during the day? you are probably rocking him to sleep with your movement and when you lay down he has room to move more and wakes up. I have trouble sleeping too but it is the start of the third trimester and thats normal. do you use a body pillow ? I got one and it does help some. you could be having b/h and not know it but normally you fell your belly tighten and then it goes away. well good luck!! I hope you feel better. I have 2 girls 13 and 9 and now we are getting our boy!! it was a big surprise but a good one!! 

I haven't been using a body pillow, but I have to have a pillow behind me to support my back and one under my belly when I'm sleeping on my side. And then another one between my legs. I can't sleep if I don't have this set-up. I'm ready to have this kid already! How do you know if you're having the real labor pains?

You will feel them start up and they will last 30-60 seconds, then they go down and you will time them. they will become regular like 10 min apart. with my first daughter though I stood up at 4 in the morning and my water broke like a dame had let lose. I had no contractions until an hour later. every woman is different. You will be able to tell because they hurt unlike b/h contractions. I know what you mean I am ready to have him too!! I have alot of low back pain because im carring him low. I am tired alot too.

My Braxton Hicks are Terrible! Lol. I'm expected to not go full term. but If The Placenta hasn't even moved C-Section will make my baby due in just under 10 weeks instead of 13 and a half. I'm due November 12th.

i am also due on nov 12th, and i have a low lying placenta. i am scheduled for an ultrasound on thursday to see if it moved up. my question is u have placenta privia u do not carry full term? do they schedule everyone to be delivered early through c- section.??

If it is infact plecenta privia yes you will have to have a c-section. Most of the time the placenta is covering the cervix so your unable to have a vagainal birth.
