Hi all, thanks for all the advises. I have picked up quite abit of useful info by reading through the messages. My EDD is 12th Feb 2008, so I have reached my 20 weeks. I work full time and I find it extremely hard to concentrate at work nowadays as I am either glued to certain maternity websites, constantly searching for BB's related topics or I am sooo tired that I am fallen asleep on my desk most afternoons. Does anyone have similar experiences?
Due in Feb 2008
- Thread starter joyofliving
- Start date
Julia66: Welcome to the baby club! I'm also due mid-March so I guess we are going through similar experiences. In the past day or two, I've also found my morning sickness (more queasiness than actual vomiting) easing up too - which is nice. And I'm definitely showing more now, so it's harder to fit into my normal clothes. How about you?
Daffer: I haven't been too tired but like you, i find it hard to concentrate at work and all I'm motivated to do is read maternity postings! It's really hard to break the habit and my productivity has totally fallen off.

donkey and daffer, I agree that I am constently reading up about pregnancy and the first year online and am a total scatterbrain. I can't focus on anything for more than 30min before I am online reading about something I just thought of. I also have days where I just can't seem to stay awake after lunch.
I'm into my 23rd week / 6th month now and feel great. I seem to have more energy back and still no insane cravings. I am, however, more interested in sweets or a snack at tea time. I can't believe this is the last month of my 2nd trimester!!!! Sometimes I get a little scared about going into the last trimester and the whole birthing process. I guess you just have to look ahead and think of holding the little one in your arms and seeing them smile. I hope everyone's feeling better.
I really am enjoying the pregnancy much more NOW than in my first trimester. :yeah2

Hi ya!
Oo er .. 26 weeks - next week, third trimester!!! I can't believe how quickly it has gone (with my first it seemed to drag on).
I am afraid to say I am definitely going out of my 'honey moon' phase (had a good innings - from week 12 to now :flower
. I feel pretty uncomfortable now - especially toward the evening! I also have quite bad pelvic pain, which prevents me from doing much exercise! - For an exercise addict, this quite a big deal for me 
I went to the gym this morning for the first time in two months. It was hilarious - after 6km on the bike I felt like I was going to just die! - Ha ha, ended up eating a bag of sweets just for the sugar (pointless)!
Still I feel good for it now, and will definitely try again - just have to pick days when the pelvic pain eases up (hmph)!

lolipop... you are the first of our bunch... you might even end up with a new years baby!!! How do it feel? I hope you feel better... did you do any prenatal yoga?
All this fitness talk is making me feel so lazy! I am 18 weeks and am feeling a lot more energetic now. I have been walking a lot and swimming a little but even so I haven't been to the gym for weeks! I would like to start prenatal yoga at Pure when I arrive in HK in October. Has anyone been?
As a first-timer, I'm thinking about antenatal classes too. Can anyone recommend any?

Hi Lolipop
Sounds like yoga will be better for you. Also try to swim more. I am at 21 weeks now and am lucky that I am still able to run. Have thought of joining Pure for yoga but have been delaying it....May have to do it in 3rd trimester.
I went to the gym to do some strength training last Sunday and I think all the guys on the weight floor were staring at me when I was lifting or doing squad!

Yeah Donkey, I have always wanted to try Yoga, its always been one of those things I never get round to doing! I think the gym episode was just me having a bad day. I had to have an emergency dr appointment today because of (TMI) nasty discharge over night with some abdominal pain, they have done some swabs - most likely an infection. So I think that is why I was so shaky. ... I am actually glad because I was horrified that just a couple of months off training could make me so unfit! - actually just on a side line to that, as they normally do, they weighed me, and I hadn't put anything on at all in 2 weeks! This happened with my first - put all my weight on in first 2 trimesters then it just stopped piling on - just a very little bit more over the last three months! - will be interesting to see if that happens again!
Wasabubunny - nope no yoga, but probably should have! This is my second, and I have to say it has generally been a lot easier then my first pregnancy - and gone so much more quickly! I know I have said it before, but I just cant believe I am approaching my third trimester next week! I feel pretty good today, but over the last couple of weeks it has been up and down - especially with the hormones! They can turn me into a bit of a monster! Although I have been doing a fair amount of walking and also playing very hard with my very hyper 3yr old, I think not going to the gym has not helped the hormone situation - so it is really nice that I feel I can start all that again (had too much pelvic pain up until now).
Yeah, cant believe this little boy lands in January - Actually, funny fact: All of the females in my family are born in July and August and all of the males in January - isn't that spoooooooookkkyyyy!!! LoL
Have you guys got names for your little ones yet?

lolipop,
Hope you are feeling better! Get some rest and don't worry about anything else. Did you check up my link in a earlier post about basic at home workouts? You could try those - I fine them helpful with back and posture. I weighed myself today and I also haven't gain much in the last week and a bit. I think it's because my stomach is pushed up so much there's no room and I haven't has much of an appepite. I've been forcing myself to have regular meals because I don't feel very hungry most of the time.
We've picked a name but not 100% sure yet. How about you?
