Hey Karina--I had a little bit of nausea in my first trimester. For a few weeks I got it twice a day, usually before meals. I've also had ligament pain, extreme irritability, was very emotional and exhausted (I still am, even in the 2nd tri). Let's see, what else--oh, I'm really showing at 20 weeks & I get heartburn almost every day. I get "cold sweats" while sleeping during the night, which is miserable. Those are about all the symptoms I can recall.
The heart rate on the level 2 u/s was 156, but in the doctor's office 2 days earlier it was 150. They said anything between 120-160 was normal.
Are you hoping for a girl? When is your level 2 ultrasound or is it too early to schedule??
Thanks for the additional well wishes and name suggestions, girls! I have considered many of them but it stil helps to know what others like.
tosh--I'm surprised to hear that you have night sweats also. I haven't heard of anyone else experiencing this during pregnancy-and I've been asking arund a lot. How bad is yours? Mine is pretty intolerable and I've tried a few things to try to curb it. One thing that has helped a little is vitamns B6 and E. Just FYI--it doesn't get rid of them completely, just minimizes it a little. Oh the joys of being pregnant!
Congrats, alb!! Here are some old fashioned names that I like:
*Sarah *Jessica *Alyson *Isabelle (Belle, for short) *Emma (although as others have said, it's getting too popular--I guess we have Ross and Rachel to blame for that phenomenon) *Rosalyn *Emily *Julia
How exciting. Congrats! I love the name Isabelle. If I would have a baby girl that is what I would name her. She would probably go by "Lizzy" for short. :)
Alb, Congratulations!! Picking out a baby name is so fun. I guess too you need to figure out what works with her last name but here are a few of my suggestions:
I 3rd Natalie Anya or Ada or Aida Inez Nina Francesca or Franchesca (not sure of spelling) Jacqueline
Thanks everyone for the great suggestions & congrats! This will definitely give my hubby and I something to talk about.
mikacat--My due date is June 6th. A friend a mind suggested Evelyn today (also on your list) and I kind of like that. I am going to mention it to hubby tonight.

These were like all of my suggestions! I like Claire, Ava and Grace, too, btw. And I really love the lastname as firstname idea. I am trying to convince my husband that my maiden name would make a cool 1st name. We'll see.
