Hip pain

So I started having great pain in my hip. And boy does it hurt. I have started tai chi and yoga to help with the pain. but I definitely need to start working on my posture now to relieve the back from it. Fortunately I haven't had back pain yet.

Traveling While Pregnant AND THE FIRST KICK

So I just spent 2 and a half days in a cabin on a train as I moved from Ontario to Alberta. It was actually very nice I had my service dog with me so they upgraded me to a nice room so we would be comfortable. The meals were great but unfortunately I really didn't have much of a choice since most of the meal choices weren't pregnancy safe. However they were able to modify some of there meals so they were pregnancy friendly. It was really nice. The people were so friendly and understanding it was pretty good . The last dinner of the trip I was settling down to enjoy some delicious smelling trout, (all the fish I'm allowing myself for the month) when it happened! I felt the first soft kick!! It was soft like something pushing on my lower tummy! It wasn't a flutter that i could dismiss as gas, this was the real thing! A subtle push unmistakable it was my baby letting me know s/he heard me taking about him/her. I was amazed and trying very hard to to cry with excitement in front of everyone. I couldn't help but smile the rest of the day as i felt it a few more time.

Moving while pregnant

So I'm planning on moving to be closer to my mother so she can help me with my first child. I'll be moving by train alone, well with my service dog. I am pretty nervous and will miss my fiance terribly but he will be meeting us there eventually and hopefully before the baby is born, but he has surgery that he needs done before he can go with us. Why train? I have a fear of planes and the stress would not be good for the baby so I'd rather take the 2.5 day train ride over the 8 hour plane ride. Silly I know but all accommodations have been made to make this trip comfortable for my and my service dog.

Belly growth during pregnancy

Im finally really showing my beautiful 26" waist has grown to a lovely 32". Hopefully soon I'll find out the gender too now that I'm in the 16 week mark.

Gender Predictions

I am now close to ending my 14th week of pregnancy ready to start week 15. My OB says between week 16-20 we will be finding out our baby's gender. Of course I'm excited but mainly happy because my little bundle of joy is healthy. Out of curiosity I looked up and tried a few old wives tales to predict the gender myself. So far the Chinese chart and Mayan calendar says my baby will be a boy. Along with the majority of the other wives tales I looked up to try. About 80% of them are saying I'm having a boy the other 20% predict girl. We will find out soon enough which prediction is true.

Second trimester

So I've recently started my second trimester. So far it's lovely, my energy is back for most of the day and the nausea is gone. I'm excited to start to show and to be feeling my baby's movements. I don't care what gender my baby is because both genders have their advantages and did advantage. All that matters is that my baby it healthy.

Low energy prengancy

I feel like I have no energy ever! I feel like laying in bed all day and just sleep. But luckily I'm almost done my first trimester and second trimester promises an increase in energy. My next ob appointment is June 11 so hopefully I will hear the heartbeat of my little lime. If you have any tips for pregnancy safe energy boosts PLEASE comment!
