So glad nothing is wrong with Marylin. I understand she doesn't work so being on a bed rest shouldn't be that big of a problem for her.

Hopefully everything will be ok!

Thanks for the update about Marilyn ... will be thinking of her.

Nice belly pics!!! I am starting to have a belly, but I really don't have the nice pregnant belly yet. It is more noticeable when I am naked and I know NO ONE wants to see that!!! LOL

Welcome to the new folks

BTW, people keep asking me if I am having any cravings and I really hadn't .... until yesterday ... for egg drop soup from the Chinese place ... and I don't even really like egg drop soup!!!!!

Congrats Jess!

girls i got a PM from Marilyn.......

they found out she was dilating and they had to stitch her cervix closed.. so now she is on bed rest... she said everything is going good though..

please keep her in ur thoughts..

thanks..

Glad to hear! Well even though it's not the best news to be on bed rest, it's much better than what I'm sure we might have thought.

Hope you are doing well Marilyn, hang in there with the bed rest! You need a laptop now so you can write.

That must have been really scary for Marilyn. I sure hope the bed rest does the trick. Thanks for the update.

Wow I hope Marilyn will be okay. Hopefully the bed rest will help.

Thanks for whoever gave me the site on the cloth diapers. I am excited to order some. I am trying to figure out which ones are the best. Well tommorow is the big day for us. We have deiced to find out the sex tomorrow.

Question when did you gals start feeling your little one move? I am 20 weeks and haven't felt a thing.

Another question? Has anyone ever experienced a numb feeling in their hand? Some days its hard for me to even brush my hair. I am going to ask the doctor tomorrow. I just wonder if this was a pregnancy symptom.

For weeks I craved hot and sour soup with sweet and sour sauce in it. I was making the girls at the office order in Chinese food at least twice a week there for awhile. It was almost a sideshow to watch me guzzle gallons of spicy sweet soup.

Question when did you gals start feeling your little one move? I am 20 weeks and haven't felt a thing.

I felt this little butterball doing the Jetsons' zooming/fluttering thing by 20 weeks/4 months. However, he's huge. He weighed almost a pound at 19 weeks. So I imagine that had alot to do with my feeling him so early. Everyone is different, it depends on the baby, how he's wedged in there, etc. Some women are also more sensitive to the movement than others. And it did feel alot like gas a first, but that's sort of difficult to differentiate when you've already got some pregnancy-related digestive issues going on. I wouldnt worry about it too much, though. Mine's a super-fierce kicker now. When I rest a magazine on my belly he whomps and bomps and the words jump up and down while Im trying to read. Of course, when my husband wants to feel or see him move, he lays stock still sideways in my ribs.

I accidentally deleted the portion of your quote that referred to the numbness issue, but yours could just be due to normal pregnancy swelling. Have you had problems with numbness, stiff neck/vertebrae problems, or similar stuff in the past? It may have been mild in the past and is now being aggrivated due to swelling. I have assorted numb things, but mine's due to a pre-existing spinal problem more than the pregnancy itself.

Thanks so much Yassmine. I have lost weight 10 pounds in my first 4 months so maybe that could be it. I have never had pain before in my hand or numbness maybe the baby is pinching a nerve. I need to go research this online.

@marilyn: oh boy, stitches down there, and then bedrest..... sounds like torture to me but as long as she and baby are ok...... hope she feels better soon!!

@belwinMills: I am about 20 weeks too and I just started feeling the baby a couple days ago. It's more lika a tiny flutter than a kick and sometimes I'm not even sure if its gas or the baby... haha. I had a car accident yesterday and it has been really active bouncing around all day. Thank God nothing happened to the baby.

@autumnchik and yassmine: what is it with pregnancy and chinese cravings???? I could eat chinese every day. i never had any extreme cravings like pickles with peanut butter or anythiung like that. just watermelon and chinese when I felt sick.

I've had a few, random cravings...but the most consistent one so far has been my obsession with chocolate milk. It's like a drug for me. If I don't have it everyday, I feel frantic!

In the past couple of weeks, I've really been feeling my little guy moving. I would swear he's already practicing his salsa dancing
