With all the hormones flowing, it''s normal to have unusual dreams. I remember having one where I gave birth to a raccoon!Date: 9/13/2009 3:03:39 PM

oh random note but, also don''t worry if you have weird dreams while preggo, i have them all the time and i have heard this is normal. also to have more ''vivid'' seeming real dreams. i can''t tell you how many strange dreams or nightmares i have had, and i am not a typical big dreamer at all. hormones really do mess with you. take care of yourself...if you have special things you like to do to relax yourself, start loading up on them!it''s a long haul!![]()

Ditto. I just spent about 15 minutes poking my belly to make sure the baby was okay, since I hardly felt any kicks today. I was a bit anxious in the first trimester, but that eased a lot after 12 weeks. Now I''m late in the second trimester I worry most that the baby is moving okay. I guess the third trim will also have its worries!Date: 9/10/2009 11:10:47 PM

Oh Mer I wish there was something I can say to ease your mind but the truth is that pregnancy is full of worries. You go through 1st tri worrying that you don''t have any symptoms, then wishing the symptoms would go away, and if they do you worry that they''re gone. Then you worry in second tri that you haven''t felt any movements and when you finally do you spend all day making sure its enough movement. Then you spend the 1st half of 3rd tri worrying that cramps mean early labor and the 2nd half of 3rd tri worrying that no cramps means you''ll be overdue. And the funny thing is that thinking about all of this makes these 40 weeks feel soooo long but once the pregnancy is over it all becomes a blur.
All I can tell you right now is that the absence of symptoms can be an awesome thing. I didn''t have any symptoms at all throughout the pregnancy and never had any morning sickness at all. I actually felt pretty great. Just keep reminding yourself that its all normal! In the meantime try joining pregnancy forums. Sometimes hearing others going through the same can help ease your mind. And only 3 weeks left! Can''t wait for you to see how big your baby will be then! Its amazing the way they grow in 1st tri!

ltF- Thank you for you post. I know and am slowly understanding my limits of control and realizing that nothing I can do will change at this point, and the baby will already be what they will be. I'm working on the anxiety, and now that I 'feeling' things again, I'm doing alot better... so, can you tell us more about this mini US machine?![]()

i told my dr recently that someone has to create an app to turn your iphone into a mini US machine. like plug a little sensor on it and some jelly on the belly and then you can see the baby on your iphone. wouldn't that be amazing???
