Yeah, this is my first, unplanned, surprise baby!! I was really worried at first, since I wasn't even sure if my body was ready for this (ie: take folic acid 3 months prior the pregnancy); however, as I read more books and exchange information with other moms, I am much more relaxed now!

So far, I just had my first ultrasound. I have no morning sickness symtoms, I do feel tired sometimes, gained a few pounds already(arrgg...) appetite is not as good as before, although I do get very instant and weird cravings. I still manage to go to the gym a few times a week, and there're women who're 8 months and still working out, they're my idol!

How about you? :glowface:

Hi, Victoria,

You're doing well.But be careful when you go to the gym, because you're only 2 month pregnant. Maybe later like after 3 months, you can do some exercises.
Anyway, congratulations and take care.

Thanks Green Island,

I am taking it easy at this point, just trying to encourage myself not giving up gym for the next few months.

Good luck to you too! You're due in May, right? Next year is the year of Rooster, all the 2005 new born babies will be rooster!

Hi, Victoria,

I think maybe you're used to exercises at gyms, but to me, I heard some friends' stories that they miscarried their babies because of tiny small things, and I'm not very young so I have to be very careful. Even my Canadian classmates warn me to walk slowly, for they feel I'm a light person (always jump, walk fast).

However, I do believe doing exercises appropreciately and keeping an easy and pleasant mood is very important. You're right. Take it easy, but be careful in the specific situation. I love the way you think and behave.

Keep in touch and best wishes.

Green Island,

I agree from the moment of pregnancy, the journey of "worrisome" also begins...suddenly everything we do has to be taken into careful consideration.

I didn't even know I was pregnant...until week 5, thinking back, I did so many "crazy" things during that time: extreme exercises, falling off the bike and chair several times, donating blood...omg, that's why I was so worried and surprised when I found out I'm going to be a mom, now I just consider myself lucky enough for not causing any damages.

I have also heard very extreme cases from other moms, how easily it can be to "miscarry" the baby when they do the smallest things; on the other hand, there're also moms I met who are over 30, and doing extremely well during their pregnancy, no complications and what's so over. I think it really depends on individual and their health.

Overall, I hope every expectant mom - including you and me, will have the smooth 9 months, and painless delivery! May we (and our babies) be healthy, happy, and complications free!!!

this is my first time too

no morning sickness, every days life is the same, no difference.

Yes, I think some exercise can be help, just be creful.
doctor said should not do sit up, but weight left and walking are good.
I have appetizes for somethings that I do not like to eat before, and forget about thing i ate normally before the pregnant. Oh, Victoria, my doctor give me first ultrasound appointment is Jan. 7. how come you can have ultrasound so early?

Congradulations! Gonewithmoonlit.

So when are you due? I don't know why my first US is so early, I went on week 6. I must say, at that point, I didn't really see much, other than a bean shaped blur, you can't pick out the baby's shape yet, too early; plus I don't think US is too good for the baby, so the nurse was moving the equipment on my tummy very fast, not focusing at one spot for more than 2 seconds...but you can definately see the heartbeats of the fetus, it is very fast, and that's what made it feel more realistic!! Oh, you'll also get a printout of the US picture of your baby on Jan. 7th, first baby picture to go into the album, hehee....Surprisingly, my second US is already on Jan. 10th. This time is to determine if the baby is developing normally, without any NTD or down syndroms.

Take the Video Record option, and maybe even convert it to DV and write on a VCD, it would be much fun than just have a set of black and white prints.

Hi, Xixi Mom,

You mean we can bring a camera with us when we go to take the ultra sound at hospital? We shoot at the screen? Is it allowed?

oh, you don't have to take your camera. there is a VCR hooked up to the Ultra Sound screen, and you just need to let the technician know that you want to have it taped.
We were not allowed to use our own tape the first time, you have to buy from the lab. While the second time they allowed us to use the tape we had record for the first time.
Different technician provide different recording. The first one recorded all the process she was looking for the head, spin, heart..... the second one was not that much detailed. Good Luck

Hi, Xixi Mom,

Thanks! Do all the labs or hospital allow us to buy it? And how much is it?

 

[gonewithmoonlit]

it will be cool if we can meet once in a while, I believe there are many first Mom, we can share and suport each other. I can provide space for nice dinner or lunch together. what do you think?

 

[Victoria]

Support!

This is an excellent idea! Who else is interested?

I'd like to, but I don't wanna go out in winter with such heavy snow. It would be great if we can meet online?
