I am sure you all know that I had an appointment with my doc on 27th and I had updated you all about the same... This morning my nurse called and told me that my urine culture came +ve for UTI... Am so tensed now... have read that UTIs can lead to low birth weight babies and also preterm labor... What do I do? She has asked me to start taking antibiotics for 7 days... Am supposed to take 2 Macrobid 100 mg capsules in a day... I just took 1 after lunch... Anyone been through this before, specially anyone in US knows of women who have gone through this and has taken this medication... Have read a lot of threads elsewhere and women have done this and looks safe... still am worried... :(

Please do talk to me... Laxmi replied. hey all mommies to b.gr8 2 know dat all of us njoing our pregnancy so very much...i guess this is a wunderful idea dat v share our updates n keep each other informed abt various experiences that v go thru.

Neeti Neeti replied. Hi Everyone,

Nice to hear updates from everyone.

I live in NJ. I am in my 19th week right now...as per my LMP I am due on 25th Aug but as per couple of my last ultrasounds, the date is 19th Augst. The doctor advised to keep it as original i.e 25th as 1 week diff is not that much..
I have been feeling the baby since last two weeks...its such a nice feeling....This is my second pregnancy and I am loving it!!

Take care guys
Neeti Vini replied. Hey Vidhi,

There is nothing to worry dear... I used to feel my baby too and didn' t feel anything for 2-3 days... Actually we are all in our 19th and 20th week, and sometimes it is too early to feel the baby continuously... Just wait for 2-3 weeks more... After the 22nd week it will be frequent... And if you are really concerned why don' t you just call your doc and ask him / her if you can come in to just hear the heartbeat... Try it, I do it when am worried...
Take care and don' t worry unnecessarily, it will not do good to you and your little one :) vidhi replied. hi everyone ,
its really feels gr8 to read everyones experinces ..most of us r out of india n i really feel good n relaxed to share thgs with all...but im feeling little sad as i use to experince fluttering mostly..but since three days my baby is not making any noises is it somethg to worry abt ..i try to talk as i use to do before but no replies i m bit tensed so could it affect my baby too ..i tried drinking soda n eating sweets but still no use ...this is my 1st pregncy may be i m worrying too much
anyways hows going with you all

Good topic Vidhi... feels good to know that all of you are doing good. Neha replied. Hi, i' m Neha. 20th week is on. I too have started feeling moves of my baby.
It feels really good. But they are not very soft.Can' t feel it with hands on tummy.. I' ll go for Level-II ultrasound this weekend . Pretty excited to see the baby.. this time it' ll be more clear, i hope. alolika replied. hi vidhi,
its a good idea to know everybody n their respective due dates.. i think we should also add which place we reside in too. what say? anyways, all the best for ur triple blood test results:-)

Here is my details-
Due date - 15th august
Week - 19 weeks 4 days
I am a maharashtrian. i live in hongkong. i have my level-2 ultrasound on thursday. Can' t wait to see my little girl again..!! im feeling happy that we all have almost reached the half mark of our pregnancies...

Sneha replied. great idea to share the exp now as we are in the middle of the tenure.I am from delhi and my due date is 10th Aug very near to priti will be going for my next sono next week really excited now. I have started to feel the movements but they are not very prominent as it is more like bird fluttering so will feel them properly after 5 and a half mths. Ya what was that triple blood test for i m not told about it. Though my doc advised some tests in my next usound.

Keep updating with new happenings
