Scarlett, you are so cute pregnant.
Amy - I registered a week ago which is just as early as you. My mom throwing me a shower while she is visiting from Florida at the end of August. Although the time is early, I am grateful she offered to throw it. For you, it makes sense to get it out of the way before school starts. Having your mom along will be helpful.

Yes!!!! Throw a 2 year old into the mix, and by 6pm I'm ready to crawl to bed.
Is anyone else experiencing dizziness where you feel like your vision blacks out for a moment?

I'll see your two year old, and raise you a 17 month old, 5 year old, and 7 year old!
And yes, I get that dizziness ... but with me it is easily attributable to not having enough to drink during the day (dehydration) or going too long between meals. I had quite a bad, nauseating dizzy spell on Friday morning ... I was booked for the very first chiropractic appointment of the day, and woke up late ... so I dashed out to my appointment without putting anything in my stomach -- chiro hit a certain spot and I got hot, queasy and beyond dizzy. Learned my lesson there -- never go for treatment without eating first!

Does having 18, 16, 12, 10 and 6 year olds with a husband that works away from home during the week count?
I was going to post this question anyway...
There are times when this young 'un drives me to lie down and sleep (like I could almost fall asleep standing up feeling?)...
Is that normal?

Erin, are you staying plenty hydrated? It's hard to say . . . . there are a LOT of aches and pains associated with pregnancy, most are completely normal, but if you're worried I'd call your doc and describe your pains to them and see what they suggest. You could be having BH contractions and baby is such a position that it's putting pressure on your lower back. Stabbing pains can be ligaments being stretched. I had terrible stabbing pains in my lower abdomen (took my breath away, had to stop moving when they struck, kind of like a belly or pelvic charlie-horse) with both my pregnancies. Mostly after the 6 month mark, when my belly started getting bigger/heavier.
I found what helped is a maternity belt. I got mine at Wal-Mart for $10. It it elastic with velcro, you put it around your hips snugly and it supports your belly. That's the only way I could walk without pain at the end of my pregnancies.
Drink some water, keep your feet up, call your doc if your pain persists.

I think Braxton Hicks contractions can be painful at times as well.... Just try to relax through them, they can be an uncomfortable tightness

Erin- glad to hear things are a little better today, at least. And good job with staying hydrated. Still not one of my strong points, but I'm doing better! I'm inside in the AC here today because it's in the 90's...can't imagine the 100's! Keep us posted on how your class goes tonight.

I guess the point of my question is that should I just go ahead and lie down when that happens, should I push through it?
Could I be anemic?
I have never been like this, but also, I have never been this old and preggers :)

You could be anemic, it never hurts to get that checked. I was anemic during pregnancy I couldn't even walk across the building at work without feeling like I was going to pass out. I passed if off as pregnancy for a couple weeks then got tired of it and finally got my Iron checked...

I have been getting BH contrax more and more. They don't hurt, they aren't regular, I mean to say, I have maybe at the most 1 an hour. I know I am hydrated. Is this a problem? Sometimes I wonder if it is a contrax or just baby pushing out. Sometimes I know they are. Can they happen if you are more tired?
