I just feel better when I eat. I already gained 2kilos and feel bloated. And I'm having so many food aversions and cravings...definitely didn't have cravings with DS, just once or twice in whole pregnancy, but with this one, I just think of some kind of food out of the blue, and I just want it. I end up cooking it the next day or if possible that same day!
Hi ladies! I am so glad to be here with you all...finally! :highfive:
I have been STARVING since finding out about the pregnancy. I am still having mild cramping which worries me just a little but again I do realize that cramping in early pregnancy can be very normal. I cramped much worse when I was pregnant with DS1 so I try to keep myself grounded based on that. No nausea yet but I do feel that queasy type feeling when I wake up and start moving around. My first appointment to see the ob is November 8th and then they will schedule u/s hopefully the next week. Seems like that day will NEVER happen, lol.
Hi Praying, glad you're here :) Just a little reassurance, I had cramps for weeks with DS and everything was ok. My gynae had said at the time that cramping is normal cause uterus is stretching :)
Hi, ladies. :wave: I'm feeling the same as most of you - nauseous and hungry, LOL! Still haven't thrown up, though. Just feeling nauseous 24/7, with lots of gagging and dry-heaving in between. :sigh:
Hi dreaming! Thanks for the reassurance! It does make me feel at ease to know that the things I'm going through are completely normal. Do you have any cramping with this pregnancy? Oh yeah I have been having headaches too which I didn't have with DS1. Just stocked up on Tylenol, lol.Quote:

Only symptoms so far are being quite 'regular' iykwim lower backache and cramps...all of which is making me nervous :/
Yeah mine comes and goes. I have been feeling pretty nauseous today. It is the same as I felt with DS1. When I don't eat I feel it. I need to find some health snacks so that I do not gain too much weight. I already feel as big as a house and I am only 5 + 2 today. Oh I fell asleep watching Dora the Explorer with my son last night so I have been pretty exhausted lately.Quote:

Thankyou that makes me feel much better....i hope your little one is feeling better soon xQuote:

Ah welcome to the nausea club!! I hope it's not too bad!!
I feel pretty good today. I might actualy get some cleaning done finally lol!!! My nausea now seems to be fine in the morning then just gets progressively worse with before bedtime being BRUTAL. I think I like this better then all day but still sucks :(
Can't wait till we reach at least 13weeks, perhaps we'll start feeling better. Besides I cought a cold and I can't stop sneezing, cleaning my nose and feeling cold....blah! I'm complaining about something all the time this pregnancy! Guess hubby will be freaking out soon with me complaining every second :rofl:
Thanks...I guess, lol. I am actually home today because I just couldn't deal with the nausea. I also had a bit of pinkish/brownish spotting last night so I put myself on a mini bed rest. Should I call the dr about it? No cramping or anything and it is actually gone now :-/Quote:

She suggested not to have sex though for a couple of weeks. We went again to for an ultrasound at 7weeks, for reassurance and we could then see the baby and we heard and saw heart beating :)
I know it's not easy, but I wouldn't worry too much about it if it's just pink/brown spotting. Just try to not overdo with chores and rest more. I'm sure your baby is fine :)
I agree with dreaming! I had some spotting at 5 weeks and my doc said it was prob from having sex and just to be more gentle and wait till the spotting stopped! Not sure if that could be a cause for you!Quote:

Anyone else having hormone trouble????
P4P sorry the nausea has hit - atleast its proof your growing a little person, how was it in previous pregnancies?
Can't believe for some of you its not far off nub shots - i remember everyone getting their BFP's, feels like it was yesterday. Dreaming did you get a shot of the baby for the ramzi thing at all? (or just for us to go crazy over a cute baby)
Cramping is much less now thankyou and iv even got constipation (yay).....i had a little bit of bleeding just before 7 weeks with my second child and all was fine on a scan id call if your worried and thinking about it xx
Oh constipation. How I HATE it. Lol nothing seems to help for me.Quote:

Cvd did the fresh pears and apples not help :-/ I was sure that would work! I have been having quite the opposite issue. Go figure.Quote:

The only positive thing about this cold is that I'm having less nausea cause I'm smelling less with blocked nose! I didn't get a nub shot, it's too early for that, the only thing that appeared in the ultrasound picture was something flat, where I recognized the head and the tail. Perhaps I'll have a nub in the next ultrasound, that will be at about 11 weeks pregnancy. I asked the gynae where the placenta is and she said at 7weeks it is still forming. I told her about Ramzi's theory and she just laughed, she told me she can guarantee that there is no such thing as the baby being on the right or left side of uterus according to gender. She said they determine if the placenta is positioned at the posterior or anterior (back or front) of the uterus but this has nothing to do with gender. I also had asked another gynae a few months ago about this theory and he also had laughed about it and said there is no such thing. Boq!!Quote:

Oh how I wish I have the opposite issue for a day or two (without it being some gastric flu of course). My dh is always like that...I'm always complaining about being constipated and he's always complaining about doing it too often and to tease me he also tells me the big size of his poop! sorry about description girls :)Quote:

Personally I keep on telling myself and my family that it's gonna be a boy. Many times it seems to me it is so obvious that I'm gonna have a boy that I just can't even imagine the angel face of a girl in my arms. It would be too good to be true! I keep on talking about the baby as if it is a boy. It is already a big miracle that there's a tiny baby inside me, but it being a girl would be a double miracle and I don't feel I'll ever be that lucky for a double miracle. Today I woke up though, with an image of a girl face in my mind, with those tiny pink lips and tiny nose, and those little fingers and she was all dressed in pink with a woolen hat, it's such a lovely image, I can't get it out of my mind. I'm trying to remove the image and put back the usual image of a cute little baby boy. I know it's gonna be a boy so I can't afford to fantasize much of girls.
How do you girls feel?
We have constipation problems in my family and my poor DS#1 suffers a lot. We have to give him Miralax and when things are Really bad..pediatric enemas! :(Quote:

Nothing seems to work for me. I tried prune juice several times, it's so sweet yuck and it doesn't work with me. Tried dried prunes, lots of vegetables, kiwi, hot custard, fruit, nothing works. They only make me really really gassy which is so embarassing and upsetting, my tummy becomes bloated like a watermelon and still nothing works. I'm having Duphalac and sometimes have to put in glycerine suppositories, which also is something very uncomfortable but help. And Duphalac is a kind of syrup,it seems like oil but it is also very sweet. I hate it. Everytime i'm taking it,it makes me gag and I'm almost throwing up. I hope my baby will resemble hubby in his poop production!Quote:

I think I can do this because I know deep down I will be happy as long as baby is healthy, I am not worried about GD. Maybe because we are only on our second? (Although I want this to be the last). I guess a few other things help me totally believe it's a girl, my best friends mom is very, I guess you could say, intune with things like this and before I even TOLD her I was pregnant she KNEW and she told me she so thinks it's a girl. I'll take it LOL! And we've had some spooky appearances with the name Aubree which we picked months and months before we even thought of actually trying! Signs just seem to point that way :) I will find in a couple months though! Not to mention this pregnancy is the complete OPPOSITE of DS so far. I know some say that has nothing to do with gender but I'd like to believe so :)Quote:

I have been adding my small coffee back which seems to help to, but I'd really rather avoid caffeine. I don't think a small coffee will harm though.
I wish there was an answer!!!! I'm definitely glad it's better though!
I know that this is a boy. I feel like I am blessed enough to have even gotten pregnant given our past issues so why even worry? I would hate to have something bad happen and the guilt I would carry around knowing that I was only concerned about gender would be brutal. Would I love a little girl absolutely! Would I be equally blessed with a little boy...no doubt about it! Then again...this is only my second.Quote:

To be honest I can't actually imagine what having a DD would be like so it makes it easier to pretend.Quote:

My digestion is so sluggish, I feel slow, bloated and gassy all the time now! Plus, I'm constantly nauseous and exhausted. I'm really not at my best these days and have even had the odd "what have I done?!" thought. It's just so hard to take care of my other 2 when I'm feeling so rotten. I keep trying to remind myself that this baby will be worth it, but I feel awful.
Like some of you, I feel certain this is a boy. Ramzi's theory points to this being my third boy and my gut instinct is saying the same. I'm trying to prepare myself for hearing 'boy' at the gender scan.
