Pregnancy & Parenting - 19 August 2007

I am 17 weeks pregnant and this is my second pregnancy. At 16 weeks i started feeling movements, which were definate kicks or at least i was certain it was the baby. i had a scan at 4 days ago which showed the baby was fine and healthy, but the last couple of days I haven't really felt any movements that i'm sure of. i just wondered whether at this stage i should be feeling my baby move everyday or whther it's still to small and just luck when i feel something? any advice would be nice, lost twins at 25 weeks in the last pregnancy and not quite sure when i should be concerned. thanx

Eian(like Ian)
Elliott
Everett
Elijah
Evan
Evander
Emmett

GIRLS:
Emmarie(like Emery)
Emani
Elyse
Emerence(just something I found on a site that was different; don't know how to pronounce, but i'm guessing M-R-NCE)
Essence
Enya
Erin/Eryn/Erynn
Erykah
Eshana
Estelle/Estella
Eva
Evana/Evania

**Give me your opinions and/or additions and/or comments about each as you wish. Thanks!**

I had a regular menstration period and had sex a few days after, it has now been 10 days and I can't wait until my next period, I have been having frequent trips to the bathroom, I'm tired all the time, back pain, I have been having cramping around my uterus, and now just started slight bleeding. Is there anyone who knows if I can find out before my next period?

Ok so I know I sound like a baby........but I am having the worlds worst case of morning sickness (maybe not the WORLDS worst, but I feel worse then Ive ever felt in my life.

This is my second child so I know the usual cures for morning sickness including toast, bland foods, ginger, blah blah ...............................

but this pregnancy is so much worse all I can do i cry. I am throwing up everything usually an hour after I eat it.

It is Sunday so I cant call my dr to prescribe anything until tomorrow and at this point i feel like crawling underneith my bed and just wilting away.

I am soooooooooo miserable. Any advice would be helpful.

I am 8 weeks & 5 days pregnant & earlier I went to the bathroom. Well after I wiped, I saw pinkish stuff on the toilet paper. It's not really blood, but everytime something happens I get so worried because this is my first pregnancy. Has anyone else had this happen before?

first of all, i do not have a urinary tract infection. Now, i am 35 weeks pregnant and no matter how much i empty my bladder i have the continuous urge to urinate! Does that just mean that the baby is directly on my bladder? also, if he is right on my bladder, is that a sign that labor is soon? I'm just curious cuz i've "had to pee" for 2 days straight and i'm ready for that to be over. Or is this the feeling that i have to look forward to until i deliver? ALSO, every time i have a BM i get really bad pain before and during. It's a cramping pain. Normal? And on to a different matter, since sex is supposed to get labor started, should i stop having sex until i'm 37 weeks and he's full term? Thanks. I'm just really curious and i thought of all these questions last night but didn't have the internet til this afternoon. Your answers are appreciated very much.

Also, when last checked my cervix was so thin that they could poke his head w/ fingers

Here's what i have so far.
For me: Nightgown(with buttons down the front for easy breastfeeding), comfy slippers, couple of changes of undies, shamp/cond., soap, hair ties and bobby pins, nipple lotion, going home outfit.
For the daddy: razor, soap, extra underwear, socks and shirt, snacks and water.
For baby's arrival: couple of different outfits(sizes preemie, 0-3 mon. & 3-6 mon. just in case), mittens, caps, socks, booties, recieving blankets, easy swaddler, hypo allergenic wet wipes, and i haven't gotten them yet but i'm still gonna put in diapers.
For memories: handprint molding kit, camera and several extra batteries.

OK, now what am i missing? i know so far i've been pretty thorough but i just KNOW i'm missing something. lol.

My sister named her daughter Zoelle Payton!! I love it when you say it, but it looks hard to pronounce!

How many of you would pronounce it Zo-elle or Zoey-elle if you were to take a guess??
