hi guys..

it' s so weird.. sometimes i don' t feel like i am preggers.. the symptoms suddenly vanish and all i feel is tired and the urge to pee every 45 mins..

is anyone going through the same thing? sara replied. thanks for the prompt reply ,well i do also feel no sign or symptons of being preggy (lets thank god for this )except constipation ,n ya visit to loo in 40min. or so, i guess its perfectly normal.well i reside in kolkata wot abt u ?is it ur first baby? Riya replied. hi all..

congrats to everyone here whom i haven' t interacted with before.. :) the feeling of being pregnant and seeing your baby' s heartbeat is incredible! it definitely beats any other feeling..

Dolly, ur question of sleeplessness.. i can completely relate to it.. i used to sleep like a koala bear pre-preg but suddenly i seem to be a lot more restless at night and keep waking up to check the time.. my sis told me its very normal and that as pregnancy progresses we will go through more disturbed patterns of sleep.. so whenever possible, you should try and nap.. since you are working i am sure it will be difficult for you to catch a few winks.. but try to get some shut-eye when you get back from work, if possible.. shortness of breath is something even i am facing at the moment.. it happens even when i climb a flight of stairs which ordinarily i never even bothered about.. it' s the hormones at work, like Vimi mentioned.. so nothing too serious.. if you think it is in your case then talk to your GYN.. always make sure you write down your questions before going to her..

Alolika.. i hear you.. we are lucky not to have too many symptoms.. but at times i feel like, am i missing out on a crucial part of pregnancy?? when i tell my friends who have gone through sickness, etc they think i am crazy and should be thanking my stars that i' m not going through severe retching... :)

good luck and keep everyone updated

alolika replied. hi riya,

Riya replied. hi madhu...

yeah suddenly i feel like there' s nothing happening.. i don' t know if its because i am doing extra work coz 1 of my servants has gone on leave.. i can understand what you mean when you say you' ve got to do the cooking for your hubby and you.. i have to do the cooking for my in-laws and hubby :( i hope i am not overstraining and that' s why the symptoms have gone.. hope everything is alright..

at the same time i really hope it isn' t the lull before the storm.. i can' t imagine the nausea getting worse.. :)
madhu replied. Hi,

I had severe symptoms since the 5th week. It used to start in the evenings and nothing during the mornings. Slowly I had some symptoms in the mornings too but evenings were very bad. But since last 3 days, I' m having no symptoms like I used to. Evenings when I cook I do not get any problems. Also, since my evening sickness has vanished I' m eating with fun and my food intake has increased.

I think these symptoms come and go. But I have heard since the HCG levels peak in the 3rd month the symptoms reach their peak during these days. I don' t understand, maybe its a silent period before a big storm of nausea hits us. Just kidding.....:)

As for me I' m feeling tired even after speaking a lot or doing some minor physical work at home. And yes, also feel like sleeping all the time and doing nothing. Since I live in the US with my husband I have to cook every day there is no other option.
