Thanks purple! And yeah I don't really eat fruit at all normally. (not like right now just had 1 serving of blueberry) i feel like a pig already again!!
Thats ok I just ate a chicken breast, 1 orange, 1 apple, and a banana for lunch!
I am usually a big fruit eater, and when I look back, I craved fruit with all my other pregnancies too, so it's probably not a sign for me after all :(
Don't worry about cravings! I have craved the same types of things with all my pregnancies--savory comfort food. And I have had the same cravings this time (soup, pizza, etc). That was the same for my boy pregnancy and my two girl pregnancies and whatever this one is.
I feel very very bloated right now. A lot of pressure down there. And my lower stomach is very hard already. DH said this morning that my stomach looked bigger and I thought it was a joke but I do look bigger (4-5mths preg big) and my pants that I wore 4 days ago don't fit.... Whats going on I don't think the little alien is that big!
Hi ladies have a quick question.
I started getting morning sickness every afternoon to bed time just after 6w and am now almost 8w and it has gone already. Means I only had it for a few days to a week at the very most??? Should I be concerned? With my girls ms lasted for weeks :S
My boobs are still incredibly sore..
TTC5 - as long as your boobs are still sore, I'd try not to worry. m/s comes and goes for some women, myself included. It's the sudden disappearance of ALL symptoms simultaneously that can be a big danger sign.
m/s also depends on up you ate at 6-8wks and what you are eating now.
I found my baby's heartbeat this morning!!!!! It was 170.
Yep - I bought a cheapie one off eBay.
Is 170 too high? All my boys were in the 140 range, but I've never checked a heartbeat this early.
At 8wks both my boys were 130ish I think but it went up later to about 150-165.
This current baby at 8 weeks was 152 I think. I think 170 is great! Ahh that is sooo neat, Mocha! I can't wait to hear the heartbeat at my next DR appt.
I am still losing a little weight from not feeling good. But it's OK, because I'm still eating just nothing very fattening or sweet. I still have my bloat though and I have my fluffy stuff from DS2's pregnancy so I do look a bit pregnant I guess, but i've looked that way for a while now :)
Sometimes I can't believe this is all real, that I'm pregannt again already and DS2 isn't even 1 yet! I'm going to find out waht this baby is the same way DS1 does turn 1! Sometimes that blows my mind and i worry about the close age gap, since DS1 and 2 are 3 and 1/2 years apart and DS1 was really self sufficent when DS2 was a baby.
And I also worry because DS2 is starting to show real personality now, and he's nothing but a troublemaker :O
He likes to get into everything, doesn't like playing with his toys, wants DS1's toys or my husband's Xbox controller, likes to turn the volume up and down on the surround sound, likes to rough house with the cats and DS1.....the other day DS1 was just lying on the floor and DS2 crawled over to him and just pounded on his chest, he thought it was hilarous, and DS1 was a litlte shocked that DS2 was being so aggressive with him. He said, "Evan stop being a bad baby." Unfortuntely thats what he calls him: "bad baby." LOL.
So anyway, just trying to picture life with this third one, and it seems like it's going to be crazy...crazy n good I suppose.
Still have a feeling that I'm carrying another boy...my cycle was too regular, I o'ed on CD12. I just read where Rainbow said that O'ing later in cycle sways girl?
the only pluses I got going are that I was losing weight, trying to eat more girl diet (though was not 100% on it), did not EWCM, and I o'ed in new moon and girl moon phase.
Minuses: I was eating breakfast because I could not live without it, I might have still snuck in too many "treats", hubby did not sway at all.....blah I'm just feeling like I"m a boy making machine.
Sorry for the pity party.
I wonder about the Oing time and gender... With DS1 I O'ed right before AF was do or during. Not sure with DS2 really because AF was not normal at that time but I think it was at cd15. This cycle was the first I oed really early.
But everyone is different so who knows if Oing time really matters with gender.
My DH college friend is about to have her 3rd baby, a girl after two boys. I am very happy for because her family has been through so much. Right after her DS2 started walking she was in an accident and he has walked since (18mths). Poor little boy has been tested for everything and nothing is wrong. He has recently started standing for about 5 seconds. After getting pregnant her husband lost his job and she is on medical leave for now. They have all kinds of bills to pay and the only thing they have right now is knowing they have a girl coming in a few hours.
aurora - I OVed on CD21 with my DS, it's a trend not a rule :)
apparently the *average* CD to OV and conceive a girl is CD16... and slightly less for a boy
I hope so too, Hobbers! Sorry for my whining, I still got my sinus infection and being sick for over a week is bringing out my gender desire issues to a nice spotlight. I guess when one is mierable they like to think and bring themselves down with miserable thoughts, lol.
We all have those moments, auroara. I'm constantly fluctuating between hope that this is a girl and feeling positive it has to be another boy. Don't drive yourself nuts second-guessing your sway. You started with a 50/50 chance at a girl, and every sway factor you added increased your odds. I think you had a good sway.
:think: So why shouldn't a pregnant women go to the store to buy half priced valentines candy... :wink:
I wonder if Hubby would believe me that the baby wanted 5 boxes of Cordial Cherries (30 each box and the achool free ones). :sigh:
Hey ladies just popped on to say hello, still really down, got no hospital to have my baby, went to doctors and vented my anger on them since its their fault and they're working on it, I feel like I'm in limbo plus I'm 9 nine weeks and had no antenatal checkups or a scan, so can't enjoy or be assured I'm pregnant and everything is fine until I see the baby and its heartbeat. Sickness is easing up slightly but still get so nauseous after eating something. Anyways will pop back on later. Hope you're all fine and well. xx
Love you ladies :heart:
Thanks for the pep talk! :HH:
My DH posted on his Facebook last night after I went to bed: "Permission to date my daughter form" LOL it's pretty hilarious. One of the questions on the form is: "Explain in your own words what 'Don't touch my daughter' means" It was quite funny to see. I guess DH is ramping up for a possible girl :)
Was anyone achy at 5wks? Not AF or O cramps but just an achy pain down there. I remember having an achy pain with DS2 up until 15wks but not this bad.
M/S is coming back as well.... It doesn't like garlic turkey! I am having dreams of triplettes but that scares me because I only want 1 or twins.
I also feel like my uterus is already to big, I can't sit straight up for very long or lean over. Is it to early to get an accurate uterus measurement?
I've been crampy and achy since the start, pp. It's only been in the past week or so that the aches have disappeared, but now I think I'm already starting to get round ligament pain - I've been sneezing a lot lately, and everytime I do I get a stabbing pain!
I have always hated the sneezing pains... made me cry nearly everytime!
because the hospitals I applied to are both full, my first choice hospital said that if they had referred me on time weeks ago they would have accepted me but now they have reached full capacity for the amount of pregnant ladies they take on that are due in September, my GP is appealing based on the fact I had my two previous daughters there. Second hospital I applied for is also full. GP is applying for another 3rd hospital for me which will take another 5 or 6 days to process before they give a decision.
I'm getting the ligament pain too.. it's embarrassing when it happens when you laugh and double over!
ugh I feel sick, I'm tried drinking milk to calm my heart burn but its leaving a yucky aftertaste
I'm sorry they still haven't sorted out your hospital problem, bumblebee - that must be so frustrating!
