The Incredible Shrinking Bladder!

I saw this on another site and could not believe that someone was actually able to capture my thoughts so precisely.

My goodness! It seems as if my bladder was just waiting to go on vacation and this pregnancy gave it the green light. I also find funny, how many things I must have forgotten from my other two pregnancies. I remember running to the potty the first few weeks, then I thought it took a break and didn't come back until much later in pregnancy. WOW who lied. If I sneeze or laugh to hard, look out. The other day my four year old did something that I had to laugh at, but first, I had to move her off my lap and run to the restroom. Then and only then was it safe to laugh. Which for my 14 year old quickly changed the direction of laughter from her little sister to me.

At any rate, I know all Mother's young, old, first time or repeat offenders know the felling of "clear the way I need the restroom now". So I thought I would share the above with each of you. Feel free to chime in with any funny stories of your own.

Have a great night and don't forget, get plenty of fluids! Growing baby needs them and it's up to expecting moms everywhere to keep those commodes employed!

Thanks: Baby-gaga for a funny but true cartoon!

15 Weeks 2 Days: Are You Serious Braxton Hicks Already?

Calling All Mothers and Dads with good memories (can't leave you out)

When did you start experiencing Braxton Hicks? I just called my Dr and left a message because all day I have been having these weird cramps, They feel like my undies are too tight, but I have a secret. I'm not wearing any. So that can't be it. However. If memory serves me correct they feel like they could just be Braxton Hicks.

So for my sanity lets discuss how far along you were when you first experience them. Tell me all about it, how far along were you and did they ever send you to the Dr? How intense were they? Did they last a day?

Now I also found a page that had a great description of what they are, so if you are unfamiliar with the term or need a refresher,like me. click here
