I have been moody too. Everything irritates me or makes me cry . today I don't feel good. I'm not sure if the morning sickness is just finally hitting me late or if its just a randomly bad day. Im hoping for the latter. Last night I had pulling pains on my lower left that lasted constantly. I'm used to quick twinges but this was never ending. Think its normal??

I think it's normal Rosie. I've had them too on my right side.

[Rosie85]

Thanks Abi. I assumed it could be normal. Strange to have something new happen after 3 pregnancies!

I have tried to post so many msgs in the couple of days. But they didn't post. Keeps getting deleted - what is going on

[Abifasc]

Rosie...I know! Everything is different!

Odd- I'm not having issues and I see your post!

longing.for.a.daughter, wow, good luck on selling the house! i couldn't do it with my 2 rug rats. we've decided to move out first before selling b/c we know it can be hell, lol.

futureminime, i hope your best friend is right! i was getting obsessive and started looking into "signs", lol. my toddler randomly said while playing (and we never said anything about baby to him), "I have to go get my sister." DH and I were like...huh?

[FutureMiniMe]

Rosie, I hope you feel better soon. I have not been feeling great at all today but I got very little sleep last night. I feel that the universe is playing some sort of cosmic joke making sure that my sleep is interrupted as much as possible now. It hasn't even been pregnancy related.

Belle, I have been obsessing over anything pregnancy related, not just possible gender signs. I have been so distracted at work that I have been spending way too much time on these boards and the babycenter boards. It's like all I can think about.

Is it weird that I have no desire to find out gender?? I feel at ease at the moment. I really might be able to make it 33 more weeks without finding out. I think I would be too nervous to be told girl from a scan..that I couldn't trust it and I don't get one of those handy blood tests done. Since its my last baby I really wanted to try thibgs a different way.

Rosie!! Go team green with me!! Lol. We can cheer each other on Although I hope yours is a girl even more than I hope mine is

I don't want to know gender this time because I want something different. But I'm lucky in the sense that I don't have a great preference (ill admit I have a *small* one, but super-small). However, I also know it will be hard for me. I don't do surprises well and despite that, I feel it's something I will regret not doing...waiting for that final moment and having my husband tell me what the baby is. I think he needs that moment too. He isn't terribly connected during labor and delivery.

But I have an insane amount of stretching. Whew. I guess four kids, nine pregnancies, in five years will do a number on your body! I had my blood work this morning and will have three more draws each two days apart. Hopefully it shows things are headed in the right direction. My tests look really good. Mine today was almost the same as the control line and I am supposedly 10 DPO. Plus, all of my healthy pregnancies have given me positives at 8-9DPO and all of my not-healthy ones have have 11+. Which is interesting, but seems to be something of a pattern with me. So I hope this follows suit. I hate how nervous I am at the beginning. I even wanted to tell DH in a fun way, but ended up just telling him because I couldn't stop being nervous. Lol. He gets it though.

I think all random stretching and twinges are normal, even if you haven't felt them before. Each pregnancy gets harder on the body and causes new stuff! Sorry a few ladies are feeling yucky. Mine has not come yet. I get a few waves of nausea here and there, mostly over a smell of some sort. But nothing terrible. I am so early though that I know my symptoms won't come for a week or two. Plus, I really think that nursing helps them be milder. Could be my imagination, but I think already having some of those hormones in place helps them not be so dramatic on the body.

In other news, my 14-month-old daughter just slept through the night for the first time last night!! Yahoo I hope she makes it a habit!
