Mocha- so glad the scan went well, what a cute little baby!! Can't believe how they are at the scan, don't they understand how worried you must be and just need to know instantly they can at least see a heartbeat, so unhelpful. Anyway, main thing is baby is healthy, keep it up baby!!
Oh my goodness Mocha, what a cute photo! I'm so glad everything is ok, what a relief you must feel :D I can't believe how they are at the scan either - the very least they could do is let you know straight away that there's a heartbeat!
your scan looks amazing mocha and wow a cute little bubba you got in there!! I'm very surprised they didn't tell you anything at the scan, they tell you a lot here in the UK, the only thing they don't like is speculating about the sex at 12 weeks I tried that with my second pregnancy and the tech was like just wait until your 20 week scan! lol
Yeah, that attitude is one of the reasons why I'm pretty sure I'm going to pay for a private scan this time around. I figure if I'm paying for it, they'd better be willing to answer my questions! :bigsmile:
Oh Lord, I totally forgot that it was possible to be non-stop nauseous and yet non-stop hungry. Is it sad that I want nausea to win in this battle?? I really don't want to gain as much as I did with my first pregnancy! :D
Oh Mocha look at your bubba!!!! Gosh to think in 2 weeks mine will go from a grain of rice to that!!
So so happy for you!
That's kind of how I feel too. The nausea is always there, though very subtle. The only way to get rid of it is to eat all the time. I've already gained a ton since I was down so low with the LE diet - I'm worried I'm going to be as big as a cow before this is all done!Quote:

I'm just so bloated from my stomach issues that I look more pregnant than I am. People at work keep looking at my pot belly and trying to rub it, and talk to the baby, and I wanna say, 'look, that's my fluffy stuff (fat) from having my second son, the baby is too tiny still!' Oh, well, I know they mean well, but my pants are fit horribly now becuase of the bloating and disention so I guess this weekend I'll have to get some maternity pants so I'm more comfortable at work. Don't want to be squishing the bean!
I have to force myself to eat all the time. Eating most of the time makes the nausea better, but soemtiems something will taste awesome and go down good, but then 20 minutes later, I'm like, yep that was definitely a questionable choice!
So glad I'm not the only one feeling that way!! I gained 50lbs with my first and that was waaaay too much. But, as you gals have said, snacking through the day is the only way you don't feel nauseous. I guess I'll just keep doing my little workouts and watch what I'm eating (even though I kinda just want everything salty right now...with my DS1, it was sweets).
We finally got a 4d location here and I am so paying for one this time.... I want to see the face to see if it is my baby I dreamed about 5 years ago!Quote:

How is everyone doing? I have not checked in in awhile so welcome and congrats to the newbies....so who is now preggo check in so i can scream for you lol
queen - check out the first post in this thread - I keep updating the roll call there as we get new BFPs.
Is it ok to start eating normal meals or foods again? I want to get back on 2 bananas, oatmeal, large potatoes, or whatever else is healthy but would be considered boy friendly. I had low potassium with my other pregnancy and it caused a lot of leg pains so I want to get back on a healthy potassium diet right away.
Your egg is fertilized and your bean's gender is decided now. Now go and enjoy all those foods you've been missing out on for so long!!
Yes, eat whatever you want for a healthy pregnancy! That means this gal is going back to her cruciferous veggies, meat, and full fat dairy!! Woo hoo!Quote:

Wow soo many!!!! Woooooooooohooooooooo! congrats everyone I hope you all get your DG.Quote:

Hey ladies just checking in thanks for adding me to the roll call list, :hug2: still feeling really rough hence not really on the net much just been resting and working through my nausea, its crazy I had olives a few weeks now, now I can't stand to look at them, I had coleslaw, can't stand it now, I had lasagne and the next day I was gagging after I smelled it, its like whatever I ate before I can't eat again. My mouth constantly feels like cotton and I get heartburn and nausea after every meal and fatigue. My my hair is falling out again too!! :tissue:. I can't wait for my appointment tomorrow so I can discuss my iron levels and find out how much iron I can take, I normally take 700mg but I cut it in half as soon I got pregnant because it made me sooo constipated I literally couldn't go for a number 2 and I didn't know whether it was still safe to take so much. Halfing it has impacted my hair aswell the pregnancy I feel really down right now just want the nausea to go away. Hope everyone is doing well. xx
Bumblebee, your symptoms sound awful! I hope things ease up soon. I am starting to get those food aversions too. I was really craving artichoke dip at first, and I made a batch and ate a ton of it, but now the idea of eating it makes my stomach turn. The only thing that appeals to me right now is pineapple, buttered toast and oatmeal! And I am really thirsty for some reason? Hope it isn't Gestational diabetes!!
Sounds like me when I was preg with the boys ;) I ate 1-2 oranges a day because it loosened things up. Eating greasy food made it worse.Quote:

My first pregnancy I could eat like a bajillion mandarin oranges/clemetines a day. LOVED them. My friends where I used to work made fun of me because my lunch would pretty much just be one of those big Dole jars of oranges. :)Quote:

Taken to grapes and vegies right now!!
is anyone having cravings since stopping the diet?
I don't know if it's because I've stopped the diet, or if it's a craving, or a bit of both... but I can't get enough salted peanuts at the moment!
I'm totally craving anything salty right now!! Yesterday it was salsa and chips...and almond butter in between meals, haha!Quote:

lol, I've actually started to go off chocolate...
I love cuties and berries mixed with a little heavy cream, but I am not doing dairy at all this time so I have to just eat the fruit.Quote:

I think this is going to take forever to get to 20 weeks....I am about bursting at my seams to find out what the baby is, LOL, it's like I want to know early if it's a girl, and if another boy, I dunno, guess I'd be happier meeting him first, but I know there is no way I could wait until I had the baby, I am just not that patient!
I feel bad as there werre TONS of ladies on here I missed on my shout out of others that I hoped could join us...I also wish Hope N Dreams and Amari and all the TTC girl ladies could join us too...and I'm sure the TTC boy ladies are just as fab! PoP's gotta get in here with us!
So m/s has set in nice and strong... yeah! Yesterday I lost coffee, lunch, and snacks. I didn't even eat a lot just small amounts. I am still craving mushrooms like crazy so I am going to the store to stock up with about dried mushrooms. We are visiting some family and we are going to try and hide the preg this weekend. We will tell everyone in a few months.
I do have an achy feeling on my left side since last night. Doesn't feel like any AF symptoms so I hope it is a good ache!
auroara - now that I've seen the heartbeat and am a bit less worried about the pregnancy, it's given me more time to obsess about gender. 20 weeks just seems soooooo far away. I think I'm going to call the only private u/s place around here and see if they do gender scans at 16 weeks.
I'm embarrassed to say I went out and bought some red cabbage yesterday, and I'm planning to try the cabbage test today :oops:
