Due Date Club October 2007:Where is everyone?

2007-04-20

Name: Gayathri Hey Guys,

Where are you all? There are 26 members on this board and hardly 2 replies per message. I was hoping to make friends here.

Whats up with you all lately? As for me, I am realising that second trimester is treating me better than the first. I don' t feel as tired as I used to. The weather is better so we can get out more for walks. I love that.

I seem to have more food aversions than cravings. I barely like to eat anything even now. Are you all having cravings?

Is anyone showing yet?
I am not showing much in loose tops but if you have to wear pants...here' s a great tip.
You can loop a rubber band through the button hole and get a little more room and use your old pants longer.

Come on guys...lets get to know each other a bit more...

Hi Everyone,

Nice to see more people join this posting.
I kept checking the messages even though I could not get around to writing anything.

My normal pants are almost painful to wear now.
Sometimes I wish I could just wear a salwar kameez to work though. It is so much more comfortable.
Finally, I got a maternity pant yesterday. It feels so comfortable that I wish I could wear them later too ïŠ.

Lullu,
There are some pretty good options for maternity wear here for western outfits.
There is always that factor that itâ€™s only for 4-5 months though. So, I want to stick to a small collection.

Work keeps me occupied but unfortunately I feel really sluggish now-a-days.
Sometimes, I am actually almost worried that I will fall asleep at my desk..ha haâ€¦
Trying to give up coffee sure can make you sleeeeepy.

During free time I watch TV like most others I guess.
I try to watch only comedy or light stuff. No horror or depressing stuff lately.
Still like friends very much.

Decorating the house is another fun activity for me.
Have you started thinking of ways to decorate the baby room?

Welcome to the gang!

Hi Praveena,

Welcome to the gang! This thread of messages began when gayatri posted a message enquiring what happened to all the girls out here. :-)

So you are sitting at home all day just like me huh? What do you do all day?

Well, I went shopping today. I picked up a pair of maternity capri pants and a dress. Do you get good maternity wear in UAE? Where in UAE are you?

Keep posting messages. Nice to hear from you.

Regards,

Lullu

Hi Neha and Lullu,

Nice to see your messages.

I am from Baltimore which is near Washington DC. I really miss my girl friends from India. Its just not been the same for me here.

I will be in my 16th week tomorrow and I can' t wait for the next ultrasound after reading the september board posts.

Lullu, reading your post made me smile. I am pretty much in the same state as you. Luckily, no nausea or sickness in first trimester. Not showing but I get uncomfortable and breathless very soon in tight pants. I get breathless just walking a little fast already. I wonder if there is any special exersice that will help manage pregnacy better as we grow bigger.

I think the tummy will be no secret soon :). I am really hoping to be able to handle the extra weight without running into health issues that can have any negative effect on the baby.

Hi Lullu n everyone

Hi,
Nice to hear from all of u.Yeah i guess i should do a little shopping,none of my pants are fitting me.Just finished my second scan and started 14th week.Was overwhelmed when i saw my baby,had tears in my eyes.

Evenings i feel very tired and very sick even at the thought of food,cant eat much in the night.

Am home all day,i read pregnancy books and listen to music and watch tv,get a little bored at times,i really wish atleast few of us were in the same city so that we could meet up.That would have been fun.

Do share your experiences and anyone from Bangalore pls do write in.
When is the best time to join prenatal classes??

Take care,
Love,
Neha.

Waiting to hear from you. Write back soon as you find some time.

Hello, Im back

Hi Neha and Gayathri,

Nice to hear from you. I am so excited to hear from you girls who are experiencing the same things like me.

Oh Gayathri, you are all the way in the U.S., and Neha in Bangalore. I was hoping may be someday i would make friends and could meet them. Nevertheless, the net is not so bad. Where else would i have found some one due on the same date?? I mean, there are two more girls in the Oct, 2007 section who are due on the same date as me - Oct 4th. :-)

Hey Neha, yes i think shopping for baby clothes is a little too early, but to be honest, I went to shopper´ s stop to get something for a friend´ s new born baby the other day and started checking out nappies and baby Tees for my lil´ one. :-)) Oh I cant explain how excited I was. And about buying maternity clothes, i think its almost time for us to go shopping for ourselves, cuz if you are one who likes wearing jeans, its going to be difficult to see yourself in shalwar kameez for long. I have been wearing only shalwar kameez for the past 1 month and boy am i bored. I wore my Coudroy pants today and almst killed myself of breathlessness.. There arent many shops in delhi whre one can buy maternity clothes. In fact there is just one. And i feel lazy to go there. I guess i will have to make a special trip soon. Gayathri, you are the lucky one, with online shopping and in a place like the u.s,i am sure you have a lot of options for beautiful maternity clothes. :-)

So gayathri, i read some of your earlier posts and learned that you are wrking, what else are your interests? And how about you Neha, how do you enjoy free time? I am not working as of now. So i am free all day. I enjoy reading and love watching most of sitcoms on start world like friends, my wife and kids, still standing, the king of queens. Apart from that, i enjoy sleeping. I used to be very particular about my workouts before but i have become very sluggish and lazy these days. I guess I need some motivation to workout.

Nothng more from my side. Keeping posting girls. I love to read what you write.

Regds,

Lullu

Hello Neha

Hi Neha,

How are you doing? I am in my 18th week now. I did my second scan in the 13th week. My baby was cycling and also waved at me. (Just kidding!! I chose to interpret it that way :-) )

I feel lazy towards the end of the day too, eventhough i hardly do anything. I wish some of us were in the same city.

Have you started exercising? I feel very guilty because i haven´ t. I wish to do some kind of group activity and the places i have called up, conduct prenatal classes for about 6 weeks from the 24th week onwards.

That´ s a long wait for me. Another 6 weeks.

May be you could wait a couple of weeks and then join classes with your partner/friend.

Nice to hear from you Neha. Keep writing.

Regards,

Lullu

Hey there

Hi Gayatri,

Im here to make friends just like you. I hope you read my message soon because i will be loggin in to check if you responded. :-) I am in the 16th week. How about you? Glad to know that you are feeling better this trimester. As far as I am concerned, I am the lucky one, had no sickness in the first trimester. I am not showing either. And how I wish to show. :-) But i think I will change this opinion once i really grow big. But yes, justlike you, the pants just dont fit. Infact, i am not going to wear pants unless they are maternity pants cuz i dont want to restrict my belly. I feel breathless when I wear tight clothes.

Which city are you from? I am in gurgaon.

Take care and hope to hear from you,

Regards,

Lullu

Hi Pooja

Hi Pooja,

Nice to hear from a new friend from gurgaon. I think we should meet. What do you say? :-) Moreso because we are in the same weird boat.

I can tell you about the gynaecologist I am seeing. I tried my best to look for maternity clothes in gurgaon but all in vain. There is a shop in vasant vihar called Momease. You might want to try that out. No great collection, but they have good pants and capris.

There is lots you can do in gurgaon. Let me know how wud you like the info - email or same message board ?? :-)

Love,

Lullu

Hi Neha

HI Neha,

How are you doing? Hahaha.. So u guys felt teh same huh. My hubby is not in town with me for a while. But he is coming in few days and i hope to do my next scan with him around.

The doc has advised that i get a scan done in the 20th week, however, if he has to leave I shall get it done in the 19th week itself. I dont want him to miss it this time.

I feel good but I have these terrible mood swings and I lose my temper whenever I speak with my hubby (over the phone and long distance -) )And my mood swings are not just usual mood swings, I get hysterical and feel distraught at the drop of a pin!!! I neway didnt have a very good reputation in my husbandÂ´ s eyes but now I am sure he thinks that I am mental. :-( And this makes me feel terrible.

Otherwise, i have no aversions, I enjoy eating and eat wisely. I dont drink too much milk, just 1.5 to 2 glasses. Eat simple dal, roti and vegetables and hog on non-veg whenever possible. I eat 2 eggs every day. My daily source of protein.

I have no cravings either and I sleep well. I really really enjoy sleeping on my back and cant tell you how much I love sleeping on my tummy and hate that left side position. Honestly, I hardly sleep on the left side,although i know its good and i better get into the habit.

You can start exercising. Maybe start walking. Although i havent, i havent enjoyed lazing as much as I am enjoying it these days. I wish we were in teh same city, we could have joined the same gym!

Its a pleasure to read your messages. You bring a smile back on my face. Keep writing.

love,

Lullu

Hi Lullu

Hi Lullu,

I did my scan in the 13th week and guess what my husband and me both felt that our baby also was waving at us( maybe their movements are like that).Was extremely excited.

Get very tired in the evenings and hate eating dinner.

I havent started exercising as yet.Will ask the Doc in my next visit and then start.

How are you feeling now? What do u like eating.I havent got any cravings as yet.

Take care n u 2 keep writing in.
Love,
Neha.
