Wow those are amazing WP! Such dedication and love you put into! Fantastic!!!
I'm right there with you ladies super duper exhausted. I just want to go to sleep and stay asleep until November is how I feel right now. Today I took a 3 hour nap while my 18 month was down.
also my uterus just feels heavy today like how I felt when I had a big belly and was at the end of the pregnancy with my last one. Think it's not enough water.
Not much sounds good to eat lately which is hard. I've actually lost weight due to no appetite.
Awww the joys of our lil bundles :)
I made the mistake of having pizza at DS2 birthday party and I paid for it big time. I felt so bad I had a Zofran and went to sleep and missed his birthday dinner:( Oh evil carbs why do you hate me!! Lesson learned... can't eat anything but protein, fat, fruit, and veggies or I will be in MS hell!!
WantingPink, I am having moments when I'm extra cold and then I feel like I'm having hot flashes! Last night I had to sleep under two blankets.
Last night I was so worried because I saw some pink discharge on my tissue after I wiped, then nothing. And then this morning I had brown spotting. I had this in my previous pregnancy but it's always scary to see any spotting during early pregnancy. Plus, I've been cramping a lot. I have an appointment to make sure everything is ok, which I'm pretty sure it is. I can't wait for my first u/s and to the hear the heartbeat so that dh and I can feel more at ease.
This sounds exactly like what I have been experiencing. One minute I am so cold I have to be under 2 blankets and next thing you know I am kicking off all the blankets cause I am hot!! I don't remember this with my other PG??
Hope everything goes well with your Drs. appointment. Be sure to update us!! Seeing an ultrasound with a HB is very reassuring:)
Ladies I am cold and hot too. I will be shivering cold and then I feel like a hot flash comes over me! My MS has been weird. Sometimes eating anything triggers it, eating nothing triggers it, and sometimes it is just pizza or something along those lines that triggers it. There are times I eat pizza and I am fine. So frustrating! I know with DS3 I was really bloated and had a lot of painful gas build up, but I don't remember as much MS feelings. The one food I have found that has helped ease it some is green apples. I bought a huge bag and probably eat 3-4 a day right now.

Hope all is ok mika x
Thanks, WantingPink and Kittybear. I'm still experiencing some spotting so its a little upsetting. My dr. said that sometimes you can have old blood from implantation inside that comes out eventually. I really hope everything is ok with my little one.
How far along are you Acason27? I hope I don't experience MS this time around. I never had it with my dds but I know all pregnancies are different. I'm not having many symptoms thus far. Its weird because I have more energy now than usual. I hear that most symptoms begin about 6 wks.
Acason mine is the same way. The hot and cold and the unpredictable MS. Apples seem to help me too!! I have been eating about three apples but not green apples. Those are two tart for me and turn my stomach. Salads have been helping me too. I am only 7 weeks and I am already over this MS:(
I really don't know 100% how far I am. Guessing 5-6 week but I cannot even remember when my period was in February. I think it was around Valentines Day, but my memory is shot. Working full time 5 days a week, working part time every night online at home, and keeping up with 3 young boys! Ha also with DS2 I had the steaks/spotting like you mentioned. It happened 2-3 times in the first few weeks and that was a very healthy pregnancy, so hopefully it is just somehtig like that for you!

Hi Hun, the dr probably mentioned it as well but any irritation to the cervix (eg sex) can cause some bleeding. It did for me when I was pg with my boy :/ xx
Wow wantingpink! What an amazing cake. 👍

Headaches are starting. Was hoping I could skip those these time. I'll just add it to my list of complaints! Lol
Kittybear, he did mention that and told me not to have sex for a while. I am still spotting and have been doing a lot of reading about first trimester spotting and a lot of women have gone through that with healthy babies. It's still brown so it seems to be old blood from my cervix...I just need it to stop so I can stop worrying :worry:
Mlka I spotted a ton with my now 18 month old son. I had implantation bleeding when my period was due. And then just spotted throughout the pregnancy. If I did any ab workouts I would spot so I had to stop those. If sex was too vigorous I would spot. So it can be nothing!
Sending you lots of positive thoughts and luck mika xx hope the spotting stops very soon xx
Mlka hope it stops for you soon. I can understand how worrisome that must be for you but I too have heard of lots of women who spot early on and they have healthy babies.
MIka I hope all is well! Again I spotted for the first month with DS2 and that was by far my easiest pregnancy. He is a very healthy 2 year old now. I have never experienced this bad of MS with my other 3. DS1 I have a few moments, DS2 I had no MS, DS3 I had painful bloat, and this one I always feel ill. I am getting horrible motion sickness, I feel sick if I don't eat, I feel sick right after I eat, and always just feel like there is a rock sitting in my stomach. I love coffee and was able to drink it with my other 3. Now the thought turns my stomach and I have started drinking tea. It is crazy how different each pregnancy can be but so far, this one has sucked the most. I feel like I already have a small round belly too. I am still in a bit of shock because this DC really snuck in there! I have been trying to figure out when it happened ha funny thing is after DS3 I didn't feel done. I felt like I wanted/would have more but DH was 3 and done. I told everyone we were done with 3, but it never felt "right" saying it. Maybe I have a good instinct ;)

Acason maybe the MS is a sign of a girl?? I have heard of a few women on here that didn't have any MS with their boys and had it with their girls. Sorry... it is awful and I feel your pain!! Mine is bad too but I have it pretty much under control with diet. Hope you can find some relief!!
Thanks, Acason. I really hope you feel better soon.
And I felt the same way when I told my family that we were done after our 2 girls. I never really believed it and I never felt final. Maybe with this one I'd feel a sense of finality, especially if it's a boy.
With this pregnancy so far, along with the spotting, I've had some really painful gas cramps. I thought I was having a miscarriage! Anyone ever experience these?
WantingPink, I meant to tell you that your baby is gorgeous! Love that pic.
Thanks, Ladies! Aftmjt, I hope you're right!! This never happened with my girls. Neither did the cramps. Plus, with the girls my breasts were so sore and I tinkled every 15 minutes...so far I am not experiencing any of that. DH is experiencing all of the fatigue so far (ha,ha) and I feel very energetic. So my fingers are crossed that this is my little man! I'm still very early so we will see.
I had lots of spotting with DS3 and all was fine! Fingers crossed it will stop for you soon!!
Leaving for Disney tomorrow AM! Will try to pop on when I can!
Yay Disney! We took the 2 older boys for the first time right before we moved from Florida back in December. It was amazing seeing those little faces light up at the castle and Mickey :)
I find no matter what I eat I feel awful. Only thing that helps I found is chai tea. It also helps my caffeine headaches. Maybe it is a girl. Everyone keeps saying that because it is such a surprise pregnancy and I guess everyone just feels it is our turn. I already have a boy name picked out though.
MIka, I had the absolute worse painful gas with DS3. If I moved it hurt so bad. I just laid around all the time on my stomach hoping it would go away. So far none with this, but the MS is just as miserable. I am ready for us all to be out of this stage and get into the part with cute bellies with little more energy!

Yes for sure coocoo! I am starting to drive myself crazy! I am really excited about all the yummy food too and the fact someone else will be cooking for me at every meal! Since I have been on my diabetes diet, I have lost weight and struggling to keep my #s good. I'm looking forward to all the exercise at Disney to help my #s and hopefully sneak in a few cheats!
I felt this exact way, that I felt like I was going to have another but I would never have the guts to get there consciously so I guess I'm not surprised this happened although surprised of the chances of it happening, like it was meant to be!
I have had very painful cramps from gas but I have had it before so it's not that new to me. From being so sick, I have had a hard time with fluids so pretty sure that's why things are all messed up!
I can't drink coffee but for some reason can drink iced coffee. It's easier for me to drink than water! Very strange, but did the same last pregnancy!

I have totally gone into this believing it will be another boy, but like you acason, people keep pumping me up. It was a suprise, it's got to be your girl! Arghhh stop!!!! Although, I wish it were true.... But there are lots of people who that doesn't happen for and most likely I will be one of those!!
Coocoo I feel the same! Like I will just always make boys. With DS1 I had no preference or feelings. DS2 I assumed may be a girl, because that is how everyone in both sides of our families were. Here was no 2 genders in a row except for my Mom's side she is one of 5 girls with only 2 brothers. When I saw my BFP with DS3 I knew he was a boy. I tried to convince myself he could be a girl but I knew he wasn't. I can't describe but I just knew. This time I feel like it may be a girl. I feel like I am trying not talk myself out of thinking it is a girl. But it could just be my deep desire obviously so I don't trust it. But I did notice when pregnant with DS3 more families of 3 boys then a girl than I did 2 boys and then a girl. There is always hope I guess! But my GD baby is DS3 and he is the light of my life. He is so cuddly, adorable, and sweet. He is a 100% Momma's boy. His pic is my profile pic on here.

He is SO adorable, Acason!! I seem to notice way more women with lots of boys than girls on this site. Most women are swaying pink. My mom had 4 boys and me so I just KNEW that that I was going to have boys...but obviously didn't. June/July seems SO FAR away! I'm gonna be so nervous at my scan appointment.
Have fun at Disney, NC!!!
NC have a blast on your vacay! I'm on count down mode for ours. 13 days to go!
Mlka I have had horrible intestinal cramping with this one so far and today I seem to have a pooch. My DH got all excited and started rubbing it. Mostly I think I just look bloated which isn't great for bathing suit wearing in 2 weeks time.
Pineapple is the thing that is getting me through my queasy belly. It's literally the only thing that actually tastes GOOD!
Also I have noticed a horrible reaction with this one so far. Every time I eat chocolate I break out in blisters in my mouth. I had this happen with my last pregnancy any time I ate anything processed but CHOCOLATE??? Not my wonderful sweet love affair with chocolate! It's my one cheat of my day!
Got the first swell at 7+1. Gonna be enormous :-o xx
Lol mrs. Incredible!! I think my friends that don't know yet are going to start to notice soon! I've def got a tummy and I don't have the energy to suck it in lol!
My friend sent me this article about 4 kids and it really hit home for me and it might for some of you too so thought I'd share:
Another Baby | Regan Long
That is just wrong tomgirl!! Allergic to chocolate?? Horrible.. Although I have no desire for it this pregnancy, getting sores from it? Sheesh!!
Thanks for sharing that article, so hits home! We get the but where will you put a 4th? What I tell people who judge on money is money comes and goes but family is forever!
Yes Cocoo this chocolate thing is very displeasing! Although I am finding I can do some forms of chocolate it just depends on how processed it is. The purer stuff I seem to do ok with. Although my usual craving for it isn't so present. It seems to be almost every time I eat my tummy gets pissed off. Pineapple doesn't upset it and scrambled eggs I can handle. I ate a salad last night and almost blew chunks after. Turned out the cranberries I added my tummy did NOT like! I could literally feel the acidity of my mouth change with each bite until I had to just stop. Pregnancy does such weird things to the body!
Oh and I know someone else mentioned being freezing. I walk around my house in sweats a sweatshirt AND my big bathrobe. I have always run super hot with my other pregnancies my husband usually can't touch me cause he thinks I'm burning up. Not this time so this is new for me!
Thank you for posting this!! I loved this article!! I have some of the same feelings she has. I am a little scared to tell people. If anyone says anything that isn't so nice there is no telling what I will say. All the more reason why I want to wait to tell people.
Could be twins mrs I!?! ;) carameline in the previous dues dates club (and I know her from boy/girl on BC UK) recently found out she's having non identical twin girlies! She said her ms had been terrible but she also showed super early. Mine is kind of the opposite as I'm coming up 16 weeks and still don't really have a bump (horrible constant nausea though) :/ it was the same with my first (not the ms though) so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, just can't wait to look pregnant rather than just feeling fat!! I guess my Pilates has given me abs of steel lol ;) Hope you are all ok ladies xx
Just 1 thankfully! Just zero stomach muscles I think lol!! Even my dad said to me tonight ;) xx
