Hello Ladies!

I am new to this site, so do apologise if there is already a thread along these lines. Reading through threads, I found that there are quite a few ladies here that are pregnant, and I just wanted to start a thread for people to announce there due dates and share there experiences so far, anything that you feel relevant really - opinion on maternity brands etc!

I'm 16 weeks, my peanut is due 23rd April 2012 - This is my first child, and so far my all is going well, thankfully little morning sickness, but I am starting to pile on the size over the past few weeks!

Looking forward to reading your experiences so far!

I'm not an expecting mother, but I am expecting my first niece soon! I thought I'd reply, and give you some of my sister's experiences.

Shelby Jean Niersbach will enter this world on February 20th, 2012. Also my sister's first child!

For her, she's grown pretty big in the last few weeks. She's 24 weeks along (see ticker below, and even make yourself one!). Thus far, she hasn't experienced any morning sickness, or any morning sickness that has been horrible, and very few cravings, if any at all. I swear, she's a freak of nature for not experiencing anything like this.

So far, this is all I know since it's the most we talk about.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I hope things stay as calmly as they have for you!

Hello! My name is Amber, I am due in Feb. with my second little boy. My oldest is 4 years old. I am about 26/27 weeks (depending on which edd I go by lol) pregnant. I had pretty bad morning sickness until about 14/15 weeks this time, it SUCKED. But since then its been pretty good. At 14 weeks I was diagnosed with a complete placenta previa after having some bleeding, then at 22 weeks at a follow up ultrasound we found out that the previa has moved to just a partial. Then about a week later I was back in L&D with more bleeding and found out that the placenta previa is *almost* gone with just the leading edge of the placenta on the edge of my cervix. We have our fingers crossed that it moves completely by 32 weeks (my next ultrasound) so we can go ahead with our plans to have a homebirth!

Hiyaa, im Ashley ! Mine is due somewhere in March. I'll findd out what it is next week & decieding on some names ! If its a boy i wanted to name him one of the names my ex picked out. For a girl Seattle ! Hehe. I am 22 weeks i have experience some morning sickness during my first trimester, well ALOT but now some on and off. I've gotten a little bigger lately and i've been hungry back to back to back! Feels like im feeding more than 2 people and before i got pregnant i didn't eat that much, in the beginning i was eating normally like i'd barely finish my food and id eat junk food all day. I get cravings but not madd craving like i expected. Pregnancy hasn't been the best feeling, feels like im sick most of the time because i don't want to eat but if i don't i'll feel worst. People who have seen me every other day since school start in august is just now noticing im pregnant! This best part is my mother is happy for me, i can feel the little one moving! I'm already ready to see whats it gonna look like! Imma be SOO ready to work these pounds off a few months after i have it. 18 weeks left!!

Hi, I'm Courtney... I'm 33 weeks pregnant with baby number 2.
This pregnancy has been by far more uncomfortable than my first.

I had a girl with my first, and this is a boy... So I'm contributing it to that. Everything has been perfectly fine, no complications or scares and I have a healthy right on track baby growing in there.
We're STOKED and really excited to meet our new edition to our family.

Uhm, I didn't really have morning sickness but I didn't have much of an appetite... and now, I am ALWAYS hungry. haha.
I am 20, my husband is 22... We have a 17 month old daughter. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
