Hello October 2008 Mommies!!

Hi Sri!!

A warm welcome to :welcome October mommies club and congratulations for your pregnancy. My EDD is 11th October and now in my 19th week.

You are one of lucky mom's to be who do not feel nausea/fatigue and other bad symptoms of pregnancy during first trimester. I am jealous of you for that ;-). Just Kidding!!

I can understand very well that how much you must be working in office because I used to be a working woman 1 year back and telling you I had to work like a donkey. But I enjoy working Computer Typing as it keeps me busy. But at this stage when I am pregnant I just cant even think of exhausting myself that much as I was having nausea/weakness till 4th month. I just have started feeling better since 2-3 days only.

Dont worry about anything(job or pregnancy) specially now, just have faith in God he is there to help us all even when nobody is there. Everything will be fine. Its good you have joined, here we can discuss all our problems, worries, excitements and what not after all we are(hopefully) going to deliver in the same month :banana. Believe me not only club members everybody here on IL is so helping and caring.

Keep us posted about yourself.
Take care

Hi Friends!!

I am so very happy to see that club is getting more alive with more members joining in. Welcome all October and other months moms to be Bow.

Thanks Lavanya, Chittidallas and Smoothie for your concern. I am feeling better now toothache has subsided without visiting a dentist bonk. Actually took an appointment also but when the day arrived I was already feeling better so didnt visited him because didnt want to take medicines uselessly. I know some medicines are considered safe during pregnancy but I just dont want to take the risk. Smoothie its Ok if you are taking medicines after consulting your OB/GYN because you cant fight your allergy without medicines and I think it can be a problem if you wont take medicines.


Ok now about my pregnancy. My 19th week is going on. We(me and DH) has decided to keep baby's gender a surprise :shhh: for the last moment so we are not going for a scan. I am also not feeling any baby movements though eagerly waiting for it and trying really really hard to feel atleast something, at least some tiny mini movement. But everybody(family and friends including GYN) is saying I will start feeling my little monkey's movements around 21-22 weeks or later. I am showing up very little bit that only I can tell :whistle. People say, usually first time moms dont show much during 2nd trimester.

As far as food and nutrition is concerned I am not calculating at all because I am now so happy :mrgreen: that at least I am able to eat after my nausea is subsided. But yeah I am having fruits(2 numbers), glass of milk(with haldiram's thandai which makes its taste better) and regular north Indian food daily. Slowly will increase my diet that has reduced to 1/3 due to nausea :roll:. I am not taking juices regularly because I dont think they are as nutritious as fresh fruit juices which I am planning to take daily once I reach India in the end of June.

Hi Smoothie and Chitti!!

How are you and baby doing? Hey chitti its good that you are so concious about nutrition and diet at this time. I think I am still not taking enough nutritions. I do not take fruits or milk regularly I take them only when I feel like which is after every 1-2 days which makes me worried sometimes :-(. I am normally not a food lover but I used to relish fruits. So now when its time to eat properly I am finding it really difficult to eat at least 6 times a day and to calculate nutrition intake and all. I cant eat so much even not 6 small mealsbonk.

I visited my OB/GYN on Monday. I gained weight(5 lbs) this time so I am now really happy because I lost around 5 kgs in last 4 months but her assistant told me that I should not gain 5 lbs every month because this much weight gain is possible by taking more carbs only. She said if I take carbs and not protein it will increase my body weight and baby will get only some fat but not the protein which is really essential for its muscle developement. Now the problem is I am a vegetarian/eggatarian. When I searched on net I found that a pregnant women should take 60g of proteins daily. I am taking two eggs daily which gives me 12g. And I am not taking any pulses(rich in protein) these days its one of my food aversions so I dont know :confused2: what should I eat to give my body enough protein.

So this is new problem on my end what about you both. Smoothie can you tell me does honeydew taste like cantaloupe? I like cantaloupe but never tried honeydew melon. Last time I wanted to buy honeydew but when I saw its seeds they look like pumpkin seeds :eek to me so I got little skeptic about its tastes so didnt buy.

So are you feeling some baby moves now. I sometimes feel some ticklish movement in my womb but I am not sure if they are really baby moves or gas as I am having gastric problems also. Post about your experiences these days I am eager to know :spin.
