I am almost 32 weeks pregnant. Last 2 nights I have woken up unable to breathe, a burning pain in my chest and choking on vomit. I am not nauseous and after I wake up this way – I continue to vomit every 20-30 minutes for several hours. I am still not nauseas but vomiting. This is lasting 3-4 hours each night. This is the first time I have vomited in my pregnancy and it ends by morning.
I have tried fighting the vomit, that didn’t work. I tried sleeping propped up – that didn’t work. I tried sleeping sitting up, that didn’t work. I am waiting on a call back from my doctor but thought I would check and see if anyone else had this. Needless to say, I am exhausted and I have kept my DH up most of the night both nights.
My stomach cramps some but I am sure it is just from the vomiting. I can still feel the baby move, so everything is good there. The only thing different this morning is that I have little or no appetite. I made myself eat a banana and a little bread but I don’t want to think about food. And normally, I am hungry for breakfast – I don’t eat a lot but I will eat something every few hours in the morning. I start with cereal, then an hour or 2 later a banana and then an hour or 2 later some yogurt. This morning, nothing sounds good.
Has anyone else had this? How did you stop it? I have called my doctor and am still waiting for a callback. I just want it to stop!

I got a call back and I guess I was concerned for nothing. They said it is probably just acid reflux. The recommendations they made I am already doing except for one. They told me to not eat 2-3 hours before bed and I don’t. They said don’t drink carbonated beverages before bed and I haven’t drank them at all while pregnant, for the baby’s sake. They said don’t eat spicy food and I don’t. The only other thing was to take Gaviscon before bed. I have been taking Maalox or Mylanta and I average about 20 Tums a day. But I haven’t tried Gaviscon. So I will give that a try tonight. She said if it happens again tonight to just call them tomorrow and someone will be on call.
Whew! What a relief – I was getting very concerned. I thought this wasn’t normal but apparently it does happen to a lot of women.

Hi,
We plan on getting pregnant again and very soon. I am 34 and my husband 35 - so we don't have much time and we both want a good size family. It took us 2 years to get pregnant this time and we just don't feel we have that kind of time again.
Our plan is to wait 6-9 months and then start trying again. We are going to try naturally for 3 months, then try Ovulex again for 3 months and then I may have to have the surgery to move my uterus again. I had to have that last year because my uterus and cervix were in the wrong position. The doctor said after I had a baby, the uterus might revert back to the old position - which would mean another surgery. Anyway, if 3 months after surgery - still no baby, then we are going to go ahead and start applying to adopt a baby. We aren't going to stop trying to have one naturally but we want to be sure Rowan has a little brother or sister that isn't too many years apart.
We want to have 3-4 kids total and we want to have at least 3 of them by the time I am 40. We are ok with adoption and if it turns out that this is the only one we can have naturally or if we only end up with 2 - then that would be ok too.
What are your plans?

Wow Charity,
I only want one more and I pray its a Girl. DH has a boy and I have a Son plus Chance that is two boys for me so I need a Girl. I really thought Chance was a Girl but he is a Boy. I plan on trying after my Doctor clear me after my 6 weeks check up.
DH's sister said to me "You are going to try again. I'm the one going to have the girl wait for me. You don't have to try again."
I told her I have tried other people girls and it is not working for me. I want my own Girl.

Mahogany Heart: Yes, Just ten more weeks or so! And although it is a blessing, I am ready to meet this little alien in my belly!! LOL!
Lilli246: Yes, you're right! I agree that it has to be an ideal situation for me to return. Being so far from family, I have no choice and I really don't want to do daycare so early.
Charity: OMG! I didn't think it would be a problem, since I consider myself a career woman, etc. BUT it has been the main source of most of my recent anxiety! I just can't see it! My husband is absolutely dead set against it and its his child too, so does he have a say so?
Ladies: How is everything going?
Let me know...baby dust!
Monique

Hi Mahogany Heart - You are going to try six weeks after Chance is born? Good for you! I don't think I will be ready to be pregnant again so soon - if I were blessed enough to actually have that happen. My pregnancy has been easy compared to a lot of women but I have found it hard to be pregnant. I know a lot of women love being pregnant but I don't love it. I love the fact that I will have a baby at the end but I don't love how hard it is to be pregnant. I hope you do have a girl! I really wanted a boy and am hoping our next one is a boy.
Hi Monique - what does your husband want you to do? What role does he want to play?

Charity,
wow I am so happy for you that Rowan is in the right position, good Job and hope that she stays as is. She is also alrady 5 pounds that sounds great 
I have a questions for you Charity?
When I was pregnant with my unborn lil angel the doctor told that my uterus was not in the correct position and did say that it usually goes back in the correct position right before birth. So know I am thinking that if I still have it wrong or in the correct position after I had the m/c.
Do you think that this can be the cause of my very late period. It's been two months from my last af and nothing since then. I went to the doctor and had a negative pregnancy test. So I know that I am not pregnant. I did one this weekend and a negative as well so don't know what may be cousing this delay. I have been having some spotting 3 weeks ago and though that af was almost here and nothing. The spotting was only noticeable when i wiped and that is all. I had that happen again this sunday and still no af. So don't know what is the cause.
I don't have insurance so I don't want to go and see a doctor because I know that is comes costly.
Do you have any advice, or what do you think about the uterus?
Mahogany,
wow you are going to try getting pregnant again that fast. wow I know it will be hard but good luck if that is what you want to do.
I hope that everything goes well with you and the baby!
Have a great monday!
Love Lili

Hi Lili,
My periods were ok – they were very regular actually. However, we weren’t getting pregnant. So the doctor did a vaginal ultrasound and found that my uterus was tilted severely back and that my cervix was in the wrong spot. This caused the sperm to not be able to get through the cervix and to reach the right spot. They also found I had a fibroid tumor in my uterus but that still didn’t effect my periods.
The doctor recommended surgery. They did an Uplift procedure to tilt my uterus forward and then shifted my cervix to the right spot. They also were able to remove all of the fibroid, with minimal scar tissue. The doctor told me that the weight of a baby would cause the surgery do undo itself, which would not effect giving birth. However, it would effect being able to get pregnant again. She said the uterus and cervix would probably revert back to the old position and make it extremely difficult, if not impossible to get pregnant again. She warned us that I might have to have the same surgery again after I gave birth.
We still weren’t able to get pregnant right away and got impatient. So six months after the surgery, I started the Ovulex and my husband the Amberoz.
I am not sure what might cause you to not have periods. When is the last time you had a pap smear? When I was in college and didn’t have insurance, I used to go to Planned Parenthood. They can do pap smears there and might be able to do blood work to check your hormone levels. I don’t know how much it costs now (I’ve been out of school for 12 years) but it used to be very inexpensive. At least you would be able to rule out a Pap smear issue or any hormone issue.

Charity,
well what is weaired with me that after my m/c. I ad af on december 16 and then on january 16 which was great because I thought that I was going to be regular for a change but my last af was on january 16 and no af since then. I have been very irregular since ever.
SO don't know what may be the cause.
I went to a regular doctor for a blood test and she said everything looked ok no thyroid problems.
But I do have a doctor where she only does pap smears and I get it for free because I do have a card that i think it's that planned parenthood I think?
well and I know that she only does pap smears and it's on saturdays only. But I don't know and will ask if she has her own clinic or would recommmend someone.
I just got worry about what you say about your uterus because I remember that is something that the doctor told me at my first doctors appointment. I sure hope I don't have to go that far like a surgery because I know that might be costly. I will call and make some arragements if af is not here within 2 weeks.
I think that it might be my hormones because I have been taking my temps every morning and I haven't got any high temps so that might be it.
When I saw my regular doctor she said that usually after a m/c on most women get this where the hormones go crazy and it usually take about 3 to 6 months for them to get back to normal.
Thanks for you info. and advice.
Love Lili

Hi ladies! I just came back from my doc's appointment. We are finally up to appointments every two weeks. Thats huge because its an indicator that the end is near and life is about to begin! I've only gained a total of 19 lbs so far, but she said its because of my petite frame that I will not be much bigger.
How are all of you? Mahogany, I swear it's like we blinked and suddenly we're almost done. I love it!
Charity: I do get those cramps and symptoms from time to time. I was having braxton hicks contractions during the past two weeks but I was told to drink alot more water and take it much easier than I have been.
About my situation with work and daycare, etc.....my husband wants me to ultimately take over the managerial portion of his limousine company. You know, bookkeeping, dispatching, marketing, billing, vehicle maintence records, etc. I would love to if I knew for certain that we could survive without my current salary. He's a great provider but he knows that with me working from home three great things will happen: I can raise our daughter, I can boost his business to its potential, and we'll be able to travel and enjoy life much more. I've never worked for him before so I don't know how well this will work.
I am going to new england for my babyshower next week. I am so excited about it, as is both sides of the family! I am just a little overwhelmed......we sent out a lot of invites, but over 100 people have rsvp'd. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR!
Monique

Monique – Wow! 100 people at your baby shower – I don’t even know 100 to invite! I hope you have a wonderful time! We had a baby shower for my sister yesterday; she is 10 days ahead of me with her pregnancy. The shower was great. We did several games but the biggest hit was the crafts. I bought blank onesie’s in sizes from newborn to 18 months and puff paint. Everyone had a chance to paint whatever they wanted on the onesie. I didn’t think people would get so into it but they loved it! Some people painted cute little pictures but other people really went all out trying to think of cute sayings.
My best friend is throwing me a baby shower is the middle of next month. She is so creative that the party ought to be a lot of fun!
Sounds like working with your husband might be nice! Is it something you could try and if it doesn’t work out – then go back to the corporate world? I have never worked for my husband but we used to work with each other in the same department, which is how we met. It was nice. I got a job at another company after we got married, not because I didn’t want to work with him but because I found a better opportunity. Anyway, I have missed working with him. It was nice to be able to share that and commute together, have lunch together, etc. We always joke that if we ever came into a lot of money that we would start our own business together. Maybe this is a chance for you to really start a new life – new baby, new career path, new relationship with your husband?
We had some disappointment today. We had our 2nd attempt at our 4-D ultrasound. The last time they couldn’t do it because the baby was breech still. I had such high hopes this morning because Monday she was in the right position. After giving up caffeine during my pregnancy, I even had 3 shots of expresso on the way to the ultrasound to be sure she was awake. Well, we got there and not only was she turned around; she slept through the entire thing. They couldn’t get any pictures. I was so disappointed but the place was nice enough to refund most of our money. The baby is still head-down, so we are ok as far as delivery. She just wouldn’t turn around to face us. We were dying to see her face and get some good pictures for her scrapbook. Oh well, maybe our next baby will be better at the ultrasound thing!!
Enjoy your baby shower!
Charity
