Tea and coffee really aggrevate morning sickness, usually for me about 20-30 minutes after drinking a cup, so maybe if you are are a coffee or tea drinker you could switch to a decaf for a while as I would think it was the caffeine maybe? that was causing the upset, hang in there xx
Hi ladies please can I join the group? I'm 7+6 today and edd 24th April. I swayed pink but I feel the sway was not great and am starting to stay awake at night wondering how I'll feel when they say boy. I'm trying to stay positive but this is our last baby so there won't be anymore chances. I did the diet but felt it slipped a bit at times, and did far too many attempts (about 3-4) as was too impatient. This is the main thing that I'm worried about.
I am also nauseous all day everyday and it's making me feel awful. OH has been really good about dtd and says he's happy to wait until it passes but I feel bad for him too.
I have a dating scan on Monday 8+1, does anyone know about the Ramzi theory? I didn't know if 8+1 was too late.
Junie those scan pictures are amazing for 10 weeks. The second one looks like a nub but I know it's too early to say until 13 weeks. Good luck everyone!
Hi Bobster! Congrats on your babe :) You def still have a chance to hear pink, don't give up hope!!! I hope your MS passes quickly b/c it's no fun!!
Oh & ELP is right! Drinking my black Tea does make my Ms worse if I wake up even a tiny bit sick feeling.... But the weird thing is, coffee doesn't to this as bad!
Congratulations bobster. I am not sure about Ramzi theory. I hope the morning sickness passes soon.
Thanks ash and pearl. I've gone completely off coffee this time. I'm craving things like lemon water and rephreshing cold drinks instead.
What are your cravings food wise? I've not had anything particular as nothing feels quite right at the moment, but since doing LE I have gone completely off red meat which I used to love! I couldn't wait to have a steak all the way through LE but now I don't want one! Typical :)
Also have you guys put weight on since diets? I've gained quite a bit back already from eating so regularly as the sickness comes when I've not eaten for a while
Well my cravings are: lemon water with ice ( have to have ice), kettle chips, been craving meat ( which I haven't given into since I'm plant based, lol) with my last daughter I craved fruit, tons & tons of fruit!!
I have gained weight :( even though I felt a lot sicker this pregnancy then my previous ones, I have gained more weight!! Am trying to slow it down now!! Oops :)
Hi Bobster!!! I was waiting for you to post here :) Honestly I think we all have to remember that with swaying were only pushing the odds more in our favor. You ALWAYS have a chance of having your DG even with the worst sway, of course the flip side is you always can end up with the other gender even with the best sway. I'm trying as hard as I can to focus on all the wonderful parts of having three of a kind (and I can think of lots and lots of reasons why it would be great!) And just not thinking about it. I also had multiple attempts and just know I'm cooking another sweet boy :) I do hope that we are all pleasantly surprised though!!
:) thanks Junie. I hope you are wrong and have your dg. Will you try again if not or is this your last baby? I know there's always a chance but like you I feel strongly that this is a boy. I know it will be amazing to give my ds a little brother and i know whatever it is I will fall in love like I have my first born but I think I will mourn the loss of experiencing a mother daughter relationship of my own. When I think of having my baby I get excited about the thought of a newborn to cuddle again and don't really think about what it will be at first- then my mind starts to worry about if I don't feel that connection because I'm disappointed to have another boy. I'm hoping that finding out at the 20 week scan will give me time to get used to it and none so I don't feel disappointed. I feel guilty for thinking that I might feel like that and it's not because I don't want it- it's purely because I know I'll never experience the other side. I'm glad I found this forum as I haven't told anyone Irl about these feelings and it really helps to share them :)
Junie will you have another scan before 20 weeks to see the nub again?
I'm wanting ice too, I was the same with my first. I think it's because I feel hungover so I want something rephrehing to take the horrible nausea away and iced lemon or bitter things seem to help.
Bobster- we're doing the panorama blood test so I will actually know the sex in 2 weeks! I'm excited to hopefully hear that baby is healthy and be able to start thinking about a name LOL. I do have another scan at 12 weeks as well. My boys are so sweet with me and at the moment my youngest and I really have a close connection. I also have a few girlfriends who are closer to their fathers then their mothers and I think besides going shopping together I will be able to have that special bond with my sons :) This baby will be our last. My H originally didn't want 3 there is really NO way he would go for 4. Plus for me personally I also think it would just be too much to handle.
Welcome Bobster! So happy you've joined us!
I feel you still always have a chance at desired gender even if you fudged your plans a little. There's always a chance no matter what, and the overall changes are the ones that make the biggest impact :)
I'm hoping we all get our dg!
I ditched coffee. I can't believe it but all week I couldn't do it. I made Earle grey tea instead and that sat better, but gingerAle is my go to.
I have my first midwife appt on tues! I'm printing and bringing panorama paperwork to hopefully get them to sign. It says "physician" but I know mw can order other tests so it should be a shoe in! But I need an scan first to rule out multiples with the clomid...
As far as cravings I don't really have any, other than I eat a lot be staying somewhat full helps my ms. I'm way worse at night though bc by then I'm just bloated - the visible difference in my belly morning to night is absurd.
I have gained A LOT lol. It's only been basically a month since I got my BFp lol

Yay Hitme! I'm so excited for your scan & test!!! I've gained A lot as well, so don't feel alone :)
I'm going to start working out today & do it consistantly..... I can't keep gaining like this, yikes!
I got some new maternity shirts the other day & thier pretty cute! They say : embrace the bump, I make cute kids, & kicking it 24/7 :)
They sound so cute Ash! Where do you girls get cute maternity and baby stuff from?
I swayed last child and felt good about sway but kinda knew it was a boy but still kept homing very quietly to myself. This one I feel better about sway and that I was back where I conceived my dd and maybe everything finally aligned for me lol. Of course my dd will be 16 if she does finally get a sister.
Welcome and congrats bobster.
I found my vitamins make me sick not long after...getting better now but still a bit tired...just finish with this nasty flu
Exciting hitme!
Anyone starting to feel baby kicking? Im feeling pops here and there tht started last week (14 weeks) but thought it was a bit early?
I'm actually really excited to start working out again. I ended up really enjoying the cardio, especially now that I plan to do it only 3-4 times a week and for 45-60 min. But right now it makes me feel too sick.
I'm looking forward to working out too! I can't imagine trying right now but as soon as j feel somewhat human I'm doing it

Covered~ I get mine from Ross & motherhood :)
I did a 25 min prenatal cardio session then walked for a hour yesterday & it made me feel much better!! I'm going to see if I can workout at least once everyday... Since I have NO control when it comes to food....
I haven't felt baby kick yet TiffSal, but I'm hoping its soon!! I was just thinking about this yesterday... I don't think its too early since you've had kids before..... Everybody is different!
Hey ladies! I'm holding off on joining the group until I get my second HCG betas back tomorrow (I don't want to jinx anything!) but I have a quick question: I got my BFP at 10dpo, and then a much darker line by 12dpo. I'm currently 14dpo and I keep having wet/creamy CM that comes on and I feel like AF is here and I rush to the bathroom. Is this normal in early pregnancy? Did any of you experience it?
That's totally normal Taytum :). You can get big globs of the stuff lol. Welcome to Pregnancy whoop whoop!
Congratulations Taytum :)
I'm still MIA a bit I'm still sick in and off and I just withdraw. It's getting better at times.
I have heard baby's little heartbeat so despite the SCH all is still ok. Thank God.
I do keep an eye on you all :D
I don't think 14 weeks is too early to feel baby. I felt my ds move at 14 weeks but then nothing more obvious until about 17-18 weeks. Congrats to the new bfp's.
Thanks hitme, I really hope I have a chance. Either way this baby will be very much cherished. I'm kind of coming round the the idea of having 2 boys. I bought a cute little blue baby grow the other day with matching hat and a lovely blue striped blanket. It helps me to prepare :)
Junie I really hope this is your dg. That's so exciting about the panorama test. Do you have to pay for it? I wonder if they do it in the UK. Will they tell you by letter or over the phone?
Tatum I think cramps are worse with first baby as this time around I haven't had as many. I figure it's already stretched so that may have helped. Increased cm is definitelly normal though, I had this all through the 2ww and it's just gets more and more!
Tmi but does anyone else have constipation? I'm so bloated but finding it so hard to go. Is there anything you can safely take for it in pregnancy?
I have my dating scan tomorrow at 8+1. Nervous and excited at the same time. Hope baby is there and has a good heartbeat.
I have been feeling light movement on and off for the past few weeks. Tiff and I was feeling strong movements with DS by 15 weeks but he measured 2 weeks ahead so I suppose was like 17weeks
Taytum I always feel like AF is just about to arrive in the first week or so after a BFP but just lots of CM.
Best of luck with the scan tomorrow bobster. Fingers crossed for a good strong heartbeat for you.
Hope you feel better soon True.
Thanks so much ladies! I feel like all weekend waiting for my hcg results any time I feel anything I rush in thinking it's AF. However, even though I know that my tests are getting darker (now at 14dpo my line is as dark as control) I still just want that reassurance, you know?
Hopefully I'll be able to check back in tomorrow after some positive results and introduce myself more! ��
Yay, fx you get great results tomorrow Taytum! I had a lot of white cm in the early days..... In fact, I still get it! Totally normal :)
Bobster~ try to eat a lot of fruit & veggies to get you going.... I have no problem with constipation, but I make sure to eat a bunch of fruits & veggies everyday :)
Also, fx everything is goes well for your scan tomorrow!! I hope you hear a nice strong heart beat!
Oh True, I really hope you feel better soon!! On the positive side, glad to hear babe is doing well in there!
Fx taytum hope you get great results.
Taytum I've been hoping you'd be on here soon. GL with your levels today! The cm can get nasty In pregnancy lol
Bobster after dropping LE at BFp I started eating cereals again and I bought one called "shreddies" it's basically shredded wheat but it's super super high in fibre and I haven't had any issues since where on LE I was getting a little backed up. I'm terrible for eating veggies and fruit - my kids usually eat it all before I get any lol
I ended up telling my BFF yesterday - i had to bc she broke out some alcohol slushy thing and I just ran out of excuses - plus I think she'd be heartbroken if I grouped her in with everyone that has to wait to find out.... I begged her to not tell anyone even her hubby. Her hubby works directly with my brother, and my mother would have a fit if she heard through the grapevine.
I told her about the panorama test and told her she just needs to stay quiet for a few more weeks.

Welcome taytum!
How long do you have to go hitme before making it official?
Pearl and ash im feeling pops but i dont keep asking myself it is it or not...cant wait for the full kicks 😊
I see midwife tomorrow. I'm hoping she can get me into an ultrasound this week so that I can know whether I have multiples or not, before doing panorama since it won't work with twins. If everything is normal in the U.S. I can do panorama anytime after 9 weeks... It's very expensive so I'm very nervous to do it.
I'll be 9 weeks lmp on thurs. results come back in 10 days so it's juts all about getting everything done fast enough. I could literally know by October 1st!

Is the panorama like the harmony and other genetic testing? Those work with twins here but done after 10 weeks. good luck either way. Interesting fact of the day: pandas are only fertile 2 DaYs out of the YEAR! Glad we aren't pandas lol
When do you ladies usually share w irl friends and family?? I have an online friend and she has exact same edd as me and she has already made official announcement to everyone. I'm thinking Christmas lol. Then again they don't live here so wouldn't notice of I looked prego anyway. We shall see.
I don't know if there are any differences - here's the link for it if you want to compare?Quote:

I'm doing the lowest cost option. There are 3 different levels of testing.

So good to see some familiar faces in here, hitme! I'll have to catch up on how everyone is doing and what's going on since I just joined! :)
I think I can officially post - my 10dpo hcg was a 24 and progesterone was a 42 and she called today to tell me my 12dpo was a little over 100! So, the little bean is growing! :)
Background - DH and I started trying back in October last year and between then and June I only O'd twice on my own, and one was a chemical pregnancy. My OB put me on Clomid in June, and it took three rounds before this little one came along. My EDD I believe will be May 23rd, 2016, and my first appointment is October 8th (so far away!).
This is our first, so I may have a LOT of questions for you guys (I apologize in advance!). Right now I don't really feel any different - during my chemical pregnancy my nips were really sore starting 8dpo, and this time it comes and goes. Some light cramping on right side, light headedness every once in a while, a little more tired than normal and definitely more hungry. But, I know it's still early!
So happy to be here! I hope we can keep this little guy (or girl!) around for a h&h 9 months!
EDIT: First question - I think my OB office just scheduled me an appointment with the doctor they had there. What if I wanted a mid-wife? Which would you ladies recommend?
Oh and I have one of those too. She's due the day before me I think and first baby and so far 2 ultrasounds lol she posts everything online....Quote:

Here we can switch to midwife at anytime! I have had 2 babies under gp care, 1 under OB, and one under midwifery. I will never do anything other than midwifery now bc the experience was phenomenal.Quote:

Just a little diff. As this one says it test twins and couple other differencesQuote:
