rkoldBefore I respond to individual comments....
Originally, I had planned to wait until next Thursday to make my announcement, as I would have had my 2nd doctor's appointment and my Nuchal Translucency would be past. Because of my age and this being my first time, I've been a little nervous about miscarriage and birth defects. However, in the end my mischievous nature could just not resist posting on 4/1 to see who thought I was pranking and who thought I was telling the truth.
If you've been pregnant before, please no horror stories. I do not want to hear about: morning sickness that did not go away or came back, any aches and pains, how labor sucked and was painful, anything about ripping or episiotomies, or well just anything negative. It's very exciting for me and my husband right now and playing freak out the newly pregnant person is mean. No one who read my LJ is genetically related to me except one person, and said person has never been pregnant. You can tell me wonderful stories about short labor, morning sickness ending at week 12 and feeling energetic during pregnancy, even if they are made up :P
Morning sickness sucks. Or sucks for me. Many people do not have it as badly as I do. I puke at least once a day now, (down from week 9 where it was 7-10x) and I actually feel worse in the evening. Flying with the start of morning sickness was a miserable experience.
My due date is 10/19/10 (Yagyuu Hiroshi's birthday for those curious) and I am currently about 1/2 way done with week 12. At week 9 I had my last appointment and got to see my baby on the ultrasound and its beating heart. Week 14 is the start of trimester 2 and hopefully all morning sickness is over by then.
No, I've no idea what gender my baby is yet. They can't tell until week 20 or so.

Date: 2010-04-02 05:37 pm (UTC)Yeah I was researching doulas but I ended up not getting one, not because they are bad but because there is no reason to get one really unless you are really picky about your birth or doing it natural, which I never intended on doing. I really respect women who go natural though :).
I don't think I had aversions to certain things, I didn't know it until I was thinking about eating it or smelling it lol. I ended up really craving fresh tasting things like FRUITS and veggies etc.
Ahh yeah I forgot about passover, that's good that you were already bringing food with you...I hated being without something to eat then all of a sudden having to rush and find food.

Date: 2010-04-02 05:44 pm (UTC)I would really prefer to have a natural childbirth with a Mid-wife in a birthing center unless there is a medical reason why I can not. I think a doula is extremely helpful for a natural childbirth, as is a midwife. My mom had us at a hospital, but had my siblings without any medication, my brother came super fast!
I have aversions to specific things. I love the idea of fruits and vegetables but a lot of them don't like staying down right now, other than potatoes. After puking up bananas a few times I lost my interest in them. I'm hoping that eventually I can eat more fruits and vegetables again.
No, I'm always thinking about having snacks with me lol It's just hard during Passover because it is Passover and sadly I ate all the apples already. >>;; I'm tempted by the strawberries but they're not organic ;;_;;
