| I am 18 weeks and just found out today we are having a little girl, Kindyl Elise. :) This is my second child, first was a boy and my pregnancy with him was so easy - this one, not so much!! Lol!
I also agree with seeing a chiropractor at least once monthly, they are amazing. Just make sure your chiro is specialized in dealing with pregnant women or they can do more harm than good. Good luck to all of you ladies!! |

Location: Florida | 35 weeks with a boy. Still can't come up with a name!!
My husband works out of town during the week and I hate to say this, but sometimes I'm actually glad. It takes the entire bed to build my pillow walls and get somewhat comfortable. The nights he is home causes the bed to dip a little towards his side and I can't get the pillows set up as good. So it takes a ton of effort and lots of grunting to get out of bed for all the night time potty trips.
I'm hoping the holidays make the next 5 weeks fly by. |

| I'm almost 17 weeks with twins I feel like I'm 8 months though. I'm doing ok have good days and bad days.. I think it's going to be a long 5 months. I'm praying it will go well but am very nervous we should find out what they are in 7 days or so... |

| I'm not trying to steal the thread but I don't want to start another one since all you ladies are already reading this one. Just one question. How much does insurance cover? I know it depends on your plan but for instance, does it only cover like 2 ultrasounds and any others are out of pocket? Do you find reagular health insurance (I have BCBS) is enough or do you have supplemental maternity plans?
We are trying to start a family, so hopefully i'll be able to really join these threads soon! Thanks for any advice! |

I also have bcbs and mine paid for about 80%, I think. We had to prepay what the insurance doesn't cover and it came out to around $1300. That pays for all my check ups, ultrasound (my dr only does one), the birth and two follow up appts. I have had to pay a little on some of the labs (maybe $10 each visit?) I'm sure every dr is different, but it might give you an idea!?
I'm 20 weeks right now. Get to finally have my ultrasound December 31st! Ready to see if it's a boy or a girl. Finally got past the sick part, so I have started to gain a little and starting to get a belly. Just telling myself, halfway there! |

Glad I am not the only one who feels this way! My husband trains horses but also works for the fire department which is 24 hrs on and 48 hrs off. The nights that he works I seem to get the best sleep because I can build my pillow fort just the way I want! And it does seem way more complicated to get out of bed when you are sharing it with someone else.... |

| I quit running when I found out, but I'm at 19 weeks now and I still ride around while my son rides his pony. I rode until 30 weeks with my last one, mainly just walking around but I had to ride to keep my sanity, lol! |

There have been tons of posts made about this topic, and every one has different opinions. I quit riding as soon as I found out. My horse slid into the out gate and fell with me just a few weeks before. It was just a freak deal but things happen. Myself, I couldn't take any chances. It's only a few months out of my whole life and it's just not worth it to me to risk it.

I quit riding once I found out. I always thought I'd be the one that would ride until I delivered, but things just changed once I found out. The risk just wasn't worth it to me. My horses are total rag a muffins sitting in the pasture now... I feed and brush them, they are loving it lol :-) |

We found out on 12/23 that we are having a little boy! His name is Remington Kane, we will call him Remi.
A lot is happening with us right now and will be super busy come March. I have my baby shower, I will be leaving my job to be a stay at home mom, and we will be moving, all within the same week of each other!!! I'm still feeling great, no real big issues. I did fail my gulcose test and will have to go back in for the 3 hr test tomorrow. I didn't fail it too awful bad, my numbers were at 151. |

I failed my glucose test too, but not by much. I had to do the 3 hr but it was more like 4 hrs +. I passed that one. I've read that its pretty common to fail the first and pass the second. how borrrrring that was, take an ipod and friends if you can lol! my baby girl is 2 months old now. I have yet to ride my horse, mostly because its winter and cold/muddy. Can't wait to get back to riding/training! Glad all is going good with you so far |

| I'm 24 weeks now and got kicked off horses a few weeks ago by my doctor BC I have a low lying placenta. I'll have to have another ultrasound around 30 weeks to make sure its moved up, which she said most of the time it does. We found out we are having a little girl and no other issues besides not sleeping for 2-3 days at a time but I've started to get used to it now, lol. |

The waiting yesterday wasn't that bad, I had my baby shower invitation to work on. I will know how I did later today. I ready to get back riding too. We have had really nice weather this past week and I have wanted to get on. I stopped riding after I found out because my playday season was over already.
Glad everything else is going good with your little one! |

Congrats on the little girl!
My sleeping hasn't gotten too bad yet; waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and waking up at 3am and not able to really go back to sleep. Hopefully it will get better before the baby gets here. |
