Nausea

Finally, I found time to blog about my full labor and delivery story!  It all started after a night trying to induce labor that was full of sex, sitting on the birthing ball, and eating pizza with pepperoni and pineapple.

Later that night, Tarzan and I fell asleep on the couch and love seat in the living room.

At 2 am I woke up to go to the bathroom and there was nothing unusual about that.  I woke up again at 4 am to find my panties soaked and a circle of wetness that leaked onto the shorts I was wearing.

Hmm… Could this have meant that my water broke? I wasn’t sure.

I first noticed that it was a clear liquid, so no green there.  (Yay!)  I took a whiff to see if it smelled like urine and it didn’t.  There was actually no smell to it.  At this point, I was thinking that all signs were leading to the fact that my water [click to continue…]

37 weeks pregnant and reminiscing… Prior to actually being pregnant, there were a few things that I associated with those particular 9 months.  I thought of the pregnancy glow, pregnancy hair, morning sickness, desserts, getting some special attention (not gonna lie), Mexican food (seriously yum), gaining pregnancy weight, pregnancy fatigue, swollen pregnancy feet and hands, stretch marks, big boobs, pregnancy sex, and nesting.

I never got the lovely pregnancy glow that I’ve heard about.  And while a few people have said, “You are just glowing” I know that they are full [click to continue…]

Thank God this pregnancy blog is anonymous… that’s all I have to say.

Today I mustered up the energy to try to find curtains for the nursery.  I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to look around.  I couldn’t make up my mind so I bought 3 different ones to bring home to see what Tarzan thought about them.

Oh but this story isn’t about curtains, I’m just setting it up so that you understand I was out running errands.

Basically it’s like a [click to continue…]

Jane is now 21 weeks pregnant and over the last few days she’s been getting those “flutters” in her pregnant belly everyone has told her about.  She was starting to get jealous of others feeling their baby kick at 18 weeks pregnant, and some even earlier!  But pregnancy week 21 has brought many baby kicks and flutters!

Also, baby Tarzan is about the size of a beer bottle according to my handy Baby Size Guide For Father’s-To-Be.

In fact, this morning Pregnant Jane told me that when she went to bed last night baby Tarzan was kicking a lot – the most EVER!  She wanted to see if she could feel it when she put her hand on his belly so she could yell up to me [click to continue…]

18 weeks of pregnancy down and I am quickly approaching the halfway point.  I figured this would be a good time to reflect on the past 18 weeks my belly has been growing and growing and share some often unspoken shocking facts I have learned since becoming pregnant.

Maybe I missed the memo that the Pregnant Fairy left on my pillow the night Tarzan impregnated me.  Or maybe these are lessons that every pregnant girl has to learn the hard way.  Either way, it’s been one [click to continue…]

So I know you’re probably wondering about the strange title.  While it is weird, being 18 weeks pregnant has brought on some fabulous things about pregnancy and a, uh, strange one that no one ever told me about.  Let’s get to the strange one first…

Dampness.  In-my-panties.  

For real.  I wish I was kidding, but what is going on down there?  Why are my panties damp all the time?  Well, not all the time, but more often than not.  It’s strange and a new pregnancy symptom.  I did some research and it seems like vaginal discharge (sorry guys) is quite normal during pregnancy.  

Oh, is it?  

Well I wish someone would have [click to continue…]

I’m not liking this new trend we’re on.  When the clock hit midnight on the day Jane turned 14 week pregnant, she threw up like crazy.  And now today, Jane hit the Sweet 16 weeks of pregnancy, and she rang it in by throwing up several times.

She didn’t throw up once up until she hit 14 weeks pregnant, but since that day – she’s had some VERY rough days and early mornings.

Jane started to get a really bad headache yesterday and during the night it turned into a migraine.  The pain in her head was so bad it caused the nausea which in turn caused her to throw up.  I was hoping that Jane’s Sweet 16 weeks of being pregnant was going to be a smooth [click to continue…]

Yesterday pregnancy kicked my a$s, but thankfully I’m back to normal today!  Why I felt so bad with morning sickness yesterday, at 14 weeks pregnant, I don’t know.  So strange.  

I did do some research today and it seems like morning sickness doesn’t matter what week of pregnancy you are in.  Nice to know.  Damn morning sickness.

I went to bed Monday night feeling weird.  Not totally sick, but I not totally right either.  I had some high hopes of waking up the next morning and feeling a lot better.  

That didn’t happen.

I woke up with a horrible headache and the same funny [click to continue…]

I highly doubt Jane would be jumping on this right now, especially after the non-stop nausea and morning sickness today.  

However, I thought I’d share what I found.  It’s called, “Dancing Thru Pregnancy“.  They’ve been around for 25 years.

You can also check out a recent article posted by the NBC Connecticut website.

Now obviously I don’t see Pregnant Jane doing anything like this [click to continue…]
