    Expecting in Dec 07- Jan 08?

    Hi, I am expecting in the first week of Jan08 and am just starting my second trimester. I know women like to share how they are feeling in pregnancy with other pregnant women, especially someone in the same stage. I chat with other women on other pregnancy forums but would esp love to chat with other Indian women (I'm from Delhi and live in USA).

    If you are expecting in Dec 07- Jan 08, please share how you are feeling. Me, I am feeling much better now. I had nausea, heartnurn and a lot of fatigue in the 1st trimester but things got better by the 12th week. Have had two ultrasounds and the Nuchal test and things look good so far.

    Waiting to hear from you all....:wave

    Hi sonum

    Congrats and i am in my 15th week of pregnancy.I am due in dec. I too feel good now except that i have lower abdominal pain sometimes esp in the evening. Doctor said it will there till 16 week or so..

    And Huma.. Nuchal translucency test is to check the baby's growth esp the spinal growth,they do ultra sound and blood test and having an estimate of these two,they have a range and our value should fall in that range which means its normal and baby's growth is normal,if not they proceed with further tests like amniocentesis etc...

    sanravi_1970 thanks and congrats to you too!:2thumbsup: thanks for explaining the nuchal test to Huma. Did you have it done too? Do you think your pain could be gas? I used to have a lot of gas before pregnancy but its actually better now that I'm eating smaller meals, though more frequently. Any cravings yet? I really crave my moms home cooked food and just anything Indian, actually I think I crave India...:mrgreen: Hi Huma and Sindhuja, are you expecting too?

    Only two of us expecting in Dec-Jan. Come on, there have to be more! Sanravi, whats your DD? Mine is Jan 4 and I am afraid the baby will be born on new years and his/her b'day will always get diluted. ANyone have kids on a major holiday, and how does it affect them?
