Hello, Gals! I found out yesterday, after three ultrasounds, that we are having a baby boy!! :D Healthy is the most important thing, we have two little girls, and now my husband is getting a little boy. Does anyone else know what they are having yet?

Hi!

I am having a girl, and tickled to death! I have two girls and four boys, the last three are boys and I need a BREAK!!! :) If they teach their little sister how to wrestle, they're in trouble!

Congratulations on a boy!

Hey Girls,

Just wanted to tell you all that my headaches have gotten better but now I am struggling with being really dizzy, anyone else? Also, hubby and I are having our first ultrasound on Monday and can't wait. Also, anyone else noticing their heart beating really fast, not like a panic fast but just fast and hard. Mine does it alot but its not panic. Anyways, Congrats on the babies and I wish you all luck. I am so glad I have someone to talk to. I feel lost sometimes.

Amy

Hi, Heather--congrats on the baby girl! Girls are so much fun!

Amy--my heart rate is ridiculous since being pregnant, I even asked the ob about it yesterday, and she said it increases because your blood volume about doubles. My resting heart rate is around 90-100 bpm now, and when I was sick it went up to 127 bpm because I got dehydrated. The doc told me as long as I am feeling okay, no worries. It will return to normal after delivery. I guess I did not notice it on the first two babies because I did not have this anxiety then. And this must be old hat to Heather!!!

Good luck on the ultrasound, keep us posted!!!!

Hi Amy,

I did have headaches and was dizzy at times throughout pregnancy. I took a tylenol and a benedryl most every night from somewhere in the second trimester on so I could sleep. Ibruprophen is not ok to take because it is an anti-inflamatory - reducing swelling/water - and you need to extra fluid for your baby. Sleep and water both seem to be very helpful for headaches and dizziness.

Take care,
Beth

Thanks everyone for your help. I have been researching so much, to much, and I didn't think that this was normal. Most of all I thought I was the only one feeling like this. I am so glad that you girls responded to me. I was going a little nuts, figuratively speaking. Thanks
