I don't think I've addressed ...Ha, Kristal. I don't think I've addressed the pre-E questions yet.<br /><br />My OB says I have a 25% chance of getting it again. The risk is always higher for first time pregnancies for some reason, yes. I am hoping and praying I get spared this time.<br /><br />I pretend to be a doctor sometimes and have decided that my pre-E last time was due to working full time on my feet all day long in a very physical job (no research proves this matters, but to me it makes sense). So now that I'm working half as much, and on my feet very little I feel like maybe I will be spared. I know stress does affect my BP though, so I'm hoping the whole house situation doesn't make my BP jump at the end. We shall see. My numbers spiked out of nowhere at 34 weeks last time----hoping to cross that thresh hold with great readings this time!Julia Gooliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784248013181090775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-78137234831687620072012-02-17T15:37:20.295-06:002012-02-17T15:37:20.295-06:00YAY for 25 weeks!

So, I ha...YAY for 25 weeks! Only 15 to go. Crazy.<br /><br />So, I have questions. :) Hopefully you've not answered them before and I just missed it.<br /><br />What does your pre-e with T mean for this pregnancy? Anything? Are you at higher risk because you've had it before? Do you have to have any extra monitoring? I really know nothing about pre-e, but I seem to remember hearing that first time moms have a higher chance than 2+ time moms, but I didn't know if having it once before made a difference. Please inform me. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-61176718780639133612012-02-16T07:32:34.143-06:002012-02-16T07:32:34.143-06:00Gabs hiccuped constantly.

I so enjoy your weekly updates and belly pictures!!!<br /><br />I remember with my first pregnancy... I was 21! weeks pregnant and an old lady at the yarn store asked me how much longer I have because I look like I'm about to pop. With this being my first pregnancy she scared me so much that I ended up at the hospital that night thinking that the baby is about to fall out of me ;-) People still ask me alot how far I am and when I tell them 25 weeks they get this weird look like I wouldn't tell them the truth and then comment on how huge I look. My standard answer is that I'm probably showing earlier and so much because it's my 4th pregnancy, but still... People are unbelievable. <br /><br />I'm getting kicks on the right and left side at the exact same time and I am SO worried that baby will be breech. I know that there is still SO much time left for baby to turn but being a worrier as well I already see myself having a c-section. I told my OB/GYN my worries and he just smiled. <br /><br />I totally understand where you're coming from with your worries!Jeanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12873487197988560183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-91389210693070306002012-02-15T15:00:40.504-06:002012-02-15T15:00:40.504-06:00Well you definitely look pregnant.

People just shouldn't comment on a pregnant lady's size in general. Also, my little guy had the hiccups a lot in my tummy and even now he still gets the hiccups at least once a day but the doc says he's perfectly fine so try not to stress.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356655617475615318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-65653778952133936762012-02-15T13:46:50.054-06:002012-02-15T13:46:50.054-06:00I love your semi-emo photos this week :)I love your semi-emo photos this week :)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928807868790599467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-47575459244017694812012-02-15T13:17:45.365-06:002012-02-15T13:17:45.365-06:00Just thought I'd mention that when I was pregn...Just thought I'd mention that when I was pregnant my baby hiccuped CONSTANTLY. Like it was borderline ridiculous. I brought it up to my OB and they weren't concerned at all. Turns out my kid is just a hiccuper. What's funny is that he STILL hiccups all the time. Now he does it whenever he laughs. Supposedly they just grow out of it. Anyways don't be worried! :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06210749023443142210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-32697099066815290102012-02-15T11:46:19.635-06:002012-02-15T11:46:19.635-06:00I had to laugh at the respiratory stress comment. ...I had to laugh at the respiratory stress comment.

And he's doing fine now if that makes you feel any better, he was just a hiccup-y baby -he gets them a few times a day now that he's out of the womb, but they are working out of his system.{jaclyn}https://www.blogger.com/profile/00641684269955192546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6548039454456114385.post-13210540624762685172012-02-15T10:35:51.650-06:002012-02-15T10:35:51.650-06:00I hate when people told me that I didn't even ...I hate when people told me that I didn't even look pregnant.
