Hi Poochy, naina, suman, preet, shagul, SD , blessed_mom and others whom i ahve unintentionally missed ....

It is great to see this board becoming active ....finally :) ...

Poochy, i saw your Q ... i happen t be working and also have one semester to complete my Masters ... so my baby is having a pretty hectic life now itself .. !! :) ... i have a little nausea in the morning and as naina had said, i try to have small meals ... i break my lunch and eat it spread across three hours .... that seems to be working fine for me .... also exercise in moderation like walking, swimming is suppsed to be good ...

Naina ... so you seem to be 1-2 days ahead of me :) .... today is my 61st and i am guessing it is your 62nd ..... and when i started trying, i was dreaming of ababy boy( Tejas) but now i seem to eb equally/more excited abt a baby girl ..!!

Suman .... abt the tests which are done ...they do a battery of tests for all kinds of things and they saw the heartbebat and size of the fetus which looked fine ..they also di papsmear and physical examination of cervix and breasts ....

everyone, tale care and keep in contact ....
-P Naina replied. Hi everybody,

hopingfortejas,So I guessed right..:)..U really did hope for a baby \";Tejas\";... Me too was dreaming for a boy before ...But now when i c cute lil girls / clothes for baby girls, i am equally interested...

As u asked hopingfortejas, i think i'm 1-2 days ahead of u... My LMP was on Feb 23. But my ovulation was on 12th Mar early morning(For many its 14 days after LMP..but in my case its almost 19 days. May b thats making the difference) . So the probable conception date for me is 12th/13th Mar. when i calculate the EDD from the ovulation date (ie ovulation date + 266 days) it comes Dec 3rd.

Oops....Sorry if i bored u with all those elaborate calculations...

After seeing Poochy's message, i too think we can start using something to prevent or atleast reduce those stretch marks. But i have heard that its hereditary. if ur mom have them there is every chance that u too will get them :(... Anyway iam also thinking about using something after the 3rd month.... My tummy too has started showing a little now.

Take care everybody,
Naina..


poochy replied. Hi i was thinking since all of us will be together for the next 8 months, so why not do a roll call at the end of every month.

Like our screennames, EDD, NDA, age, location etc...

I can start with mine,
Poochy (29)
EDD 16th dec 2006
Location: Charlotte, USA
NDA: 23rd May

If you all like this idea, please send in your info and i can compile it.

For the Ticker:
Go to this site lilypie(dot)com and enter your due date and you can create a ticker. Its really cute, but unfortunately this site does not allow to post it.

If you send in your email id i can mail you mine.

hopingfortejas:
Hey, i too want a baby girl, have you tried the chinese calendar, mine says i'll have a girl... i dont know how true it is.. but i'm excited about it.. There's a lot of scarcity of girls in our family.

Also has anyone started applying cocoa butter for stretch marks...?? I've started using one... as i dont want those ugly stretch marks... i hope this cream works.

Hoping to hear from you all soon.

Bye
Poochy
