I've had better days the last couple! Instill would just like to feel normal though... Too much to ask?
I'm so tired of eating! Yet it is what makes me feel better for the moment! I bought new pregnancy jeans yesterday... Cause I can't button my pants too comfortably...but that ain't no baby yet lol!!!
Lol Coco I hear that!!! I have nothing that fits but can't plan a maternity wardrobe as who knows what the weather will be like in the UK?! :shrug:
Have my 1st scan booked for 2 weeks monday.... so nervous!!
Most of my m/s is gone, which makes me a little nervous. I don't feel nauseous at all, but I'm still feeling "iffy" on some foods - can't stand the thought of fried eggs, which I used to eat EVERY morning!) and I crave bland stuff like bread, tortillas, comfort food like mashed potatoes etc. It's not helping my weight LOL - I already look 4 months pregnant!
However, nursing my toddler makes me want to climb the wall - my nipples are sooooo sensitive!
hehe the joys of what we have to go through in pregnancy!
I am still very nauseous from mid morning until bedtime, i have vomited a few times, could easily vomit everyday but try and hold it down. My boobs! my poor poor boobs feeli like they have been used as a punching bag they are so sore! when i take my bra off its like pain central! I never had sore boobs with the boys until my milk came in after they were born, they were tender but not sore sore! I am off food from about 3pm most days, cant bear the thought of stomaching dinner so end up having some rice crackers to take the hunger pangs away.
Hvae got a little belly on me now (i couldnt hide my pregnancy from 9 weeks with ds) so people have been giving me funny looks, still trying to hide it though. Am gaining weight in different areas this time around. Also a different dad this time so all the differences im having with this pregnancy could be down to that. Going for a scan on friday, so quite excited! have been doing every single old wives tale gender predictor (thats free) that i can find! i do not want to know at my 20 week scan but i love to guess! I want a surprise this time around but there is no harm in predicting so if you have any great oldwives tales let me know! I do not understand Jonas i wanted to test that thory on my boys to see if it was correct and then try for this little bean but no idea on how the method works so if any one knows.......TELL ME! Am going to start taking photos tonight of belly and also going to compare to my DS2 belly photos which i started taking at 6 weeks. man i just wish the next few months will hurry up!
My partner and i were talking last night about baby and our thoughts, some days i feel its a girl others i feel its a boy he is the same. he also started the name game subject and what kind of names we liked for each, i have my fav boy name that i have had since i was little but my ex wouldnt let me name the boys it but my new partner really likes it so could be a goer! and there are a couple of girls names we like, but i change my mind every few days so its hard to decide officially until bubby arrives!
i need an obsession! i was obsessed to figure out diet etc, then it was obsession over ovulation tests and peeing on a stick every 5 mins then it was pregancy tests obession now its old wives tales but my latest is at night trying to find bubs heartbeat! i know its early but i have one of those dopplers i got with DS1, i got it when i was 15 weeks just for fun, but with ds2 i found his heartbeat at 9 weeks so been trying to find this one too even my partner sits in and listens! so hopefully in the next few days we will find it, very exciting!
Kiesse, I found the hb from 9 weeks so hopefully you'll hear it soon!
I listen about once a week now. Nothing like that sound!!! :heart:
I'm due Jan. 2nd! Excitement!
According to O, I am due Feb 12.. but I think that I will go 3 weeks early as usual.. So I think I will have a January baby! :)
I will hang around here now.
Yay butterfly! We been thru the rest together and now we get to go thru this as well! 48 hours to go and ill be going in for my first scan! Really lookin forward to it! My partner has said the scan will make it real for him so he is very excited. The heartbeat is an amazing sound and i never get tired of hearing it. Spend about 10 min each nite looking for it i know it still early but oh well! Morning sickness is getting worse. It is starting earlier in the day. Today it was just after 8am! I am getting asked by people if i am pregnant, getting hard to hide the bump now. Has anyone else got a noticeable bump?
My bump is DEFINITELY noticeable, I'm already in maternity clothes!! It's funny b/c I've only gained 5 lbs total, still not back to my pre-LE-diet weight and I already look 4 months preggo.
Yup, noticable bump here too. Even got asked at the school if i was expecting again. Have announced to the world now... no hiding it!!!
Ribbons im in maternity clothes too ,im wearing my maternity bras too as me boobs grew double the size now,i was getting kinda freaked out how much ive gained so far ,i just cant stop eating!!!
Oh and i had really low iron on my tests recently,had get my iron pills and i feel so much better,i was having headaches and sooo tired ,but i feel so much better now i started iron.I was thinking it must be from the le diet so long possibly?
Hope you all start your iron:)
Saw the baby moving today on scan!!! so cute!
I get really sick from supplemental iron, but I eat a TON of red meat (we order a half-cow every year) and I cook everything in cast iron, so no worries there :DQuote:

Nope... I am doing a homebirth and have a midwife (no OB) so I have to get my scans separately, and long story short, it is a big pain to get one. I *could* get one at 12 weeks but it would require a lot of jumping through hoops. So, waiting to get one at 20 weeks when I know for sure that I can find out the gender. Might do 18 instead, we'll see! (Probably, I don't think I'll be able to wait!)Quote:

It was an abdomen ultrasound so in photos baby looks like it on right but its my left if that makes sense? Can see where placenta is etc. Also found a huge Cyst on my right ovary which they gonna keep an eye on. Otherwise everything is looking all good
OMG talk about hormonal! I have nver been hormoanl through my pregnancies beofre but the past week i have been a right bitch! i can go from one extreme to the next in record time without any warning and for no reason. my partner is sick of it! toda i absolutley lost it with the kids and put them both in the naughty corner after screaming at the top of my lungs (something i never do) then ended up bawling my eyes out! how the hell am i gonna cope for the next few months! i have next to no energy to do anything, cant cook tea as any smell of cooking has me running for the toilet. ahhh over it!!!
I posted a pics on my Vitex Journey thread with what mine looks like.. some is bloat and some is baby. LOL :) I'm avoiding DH's family like the plague..Even had to miss Father's Day! Perhaps I will postpone DS#1&2 combined bday until August.. I have to decide. Once I get a U/S I will know where my baby is measuring and get a due date. :)Quote:

Who knows what is really dangerous in pregnancy... my babies were both super healthy. I won't be repeating those this time though... it will be Tums and more Tums...
Oh and I did Gas-X for gas!!!
Just so you know I have put my 8 week scan pics up in ultrasound forum!
I saw! :) I'll get mine next week ... I think. I want to do it proper for Ramzi.Quote:

I'll do it at 8 weeks with FMU.
lol, i forgot to tell u! i done it about 2 weeks ago. it didnt change colour at all and if it did was so minimal that it didnt make a difference to the naked eye. was just a dark purple colour
ahhh where is everyone??? its like this thread has been deserted, is everyone hiding out somewhere else?? lol
Just poppin in to say hi and moan about how much i am over morning sickness, i really feel like i have been spending more time either with my head in the toilet or trying my hardest not to vomit than anything else lateley! when is it gonna stop?!!!
Sorry to hear kiesse:( I'm here lots I'm just a lazy poster lol! Today was a good day for me but I spent the day with friends so distraction for me is huge!!! Hopefully tomorrow will follow suit but do far I get a good day then a bad one! My good days are all medicated though! I'm on so much crap but it's getting me through it!!
Holy craP! I never remembered my boobs being this sore before, nuts!! And I swear I felt a flutter, impossible right??
Sorry about the ms,im 12 weeks and just getting over it so hopefully yours is around the corner,hang in there it will be over soon:) Im off all my meds and seasickness bands now just still feeling bad in the late evenings.
I went to weddings on the weekend and everyone can see im pregnant its so obvious i look 6 months preg,and every comment i got was ,oh a girl is next!!!I cant believe people say that,i feel like ill have to hide out if its a boy.I just say no no itll be a boy dont fool yourself look how big i am!Kinda upsetting though.
I haven't been on here in quite awhile as we had all but given up hope after 2 early miscarriages and a chemical pregnancy in the past 6 months....however, I am now back 8 weeks pregnant, we've seen a heartbeat on ultrasound and baby is growing well! I'm due Feb 6, but my last baby came 2 weeks early, so I could very well have a jan baby...I will post this in both threads for now!
HI Girls! Ugh been suffering awful morning sickness all day long and soooo tired! Some days I can't eat and other days I eat a ton...
saw the baby again on u/s this week...growing and moving...
Hope everyone is doing well
Yahmama- congrats on your BFP..H&H 9 months.

I have become completely nub obsessed. It's not healthy. :worry:Quote:

Im still here!! Morning sickness is easing I think, yesterday was a good day, started feeling queasy about 4pm and lasted till i went to bed but had NO vomiting which was a bonus! Had my first midwife appt last sat, was just an intro and all the freebies, start weight etc etc, im quite lucky as i have got the same midwife that i have had for my previous babies! DP blew me away with the questions he asked etc as my ex never came to my appts and wasnt really involved in anyway even when i was in labour, he slept while my mum and cousin looked after me and only wanted to be woken when i was having the baby, but my parter wants to be involved as much as possible, he asked about him being able to deliver the baby when it was coming out etc, really blew me away, also very strange as I have always done it on my own and my way so its going to be hard for me also to let someone else help out!!!! could be a bonus tho! My ds2 who is 4 has been telliong people that mummy has a baby in her tummy before i even found out i was pregnant, he is adamant its a girl but i am trying to prepare him so he is not dissapointed if it comes out a boy. he mentioned something the other night when i was putting him to bed something about his abby sister and I said but what if its a little brother and he said its not its a baby sister i then said but what if it comes out and its a boy his reply was it wont it will come out and it will be a girl, there is no negotiation with him, he is adamant. I would love a girl and even tho i swayed girl it really doesnt bother me if its a boy or a girl (maybe as i know this wont be our last) so i know i wont have GD but am thinking that if it is a boy maybe he might take it the hardest, or maybe he knows something I dont?? he knew i was pregnant before I did........ He talks to the baby every day and gives my belly a kiss every night so he is already attached, the other children including the oldest is not really interested but my DS2 wants to be involved as much as he can and i guess i just have to encourage him. your thoughts???
Also has anyone had any "feelings" of what they are having? I go for my 12 week scan in 2 weeks, i want to go but dont, i want to so i can see baby but dont as i do not want any gender clues given away for me, i really want a surprise in the delivery room and am worried that if i see the nub it will kind of give it away. what are your thoughts on this? i love obsessing over everyone elses nub just do not want to see my little beans! Its funny coz i would love it know in ways if it was a girl so i could keep it a secret as i know how much DP wants a girl, he has 2 boys of his own and has made it no secret that he wished both times that they were girls, he was stoked that they were boys but has always wanted a dadddys girl, so it would be so awesome knowing that he was going to get his dream come true if that makes sense? the only reason i really swayed was for him, it wasnt for me, he did not participate in any aspects of the sway he does not believe in it so didnt really know i was doing it, but for him i really hope it pays off! otherwise it will be awesome to have another mummys boy!!!!
kiesse first of all forgive me as this keyboard is broken, so i can't do capitals or symbols. but anyway, lol... i believe that the little ones have intuition like no other.. when ds number 1 was 10 months old i conceived his brother and he was tapping my stomach and smiling a week before i knew i was pregnant. i got goosebumps, and i knew that somehow he knew. when i was reading shettle's book for the first time i told them about it months prior and then when i got the book again, my oldest came up and said 'for baby sister' 'you get baby sister' i was blown away. with my m/c they both knew i was pregnant before i knew it and told me it was a baby sister and once she did pass away, dh had one of his family premontional dreams and he knew it was a girl. then this time they also knew i was pregnant and every day it's 'baby sister in your tummy' i think they know what they are talking about.. that's what i believe, but we will have to wait and see 'wink'
Hmmm thats a tricky one, if the tech was absolutly sure then i would go with that but I would get it confirmed at your next scan before shopping up a storm. I really hope she is right and that this is your baby girl!
Congrats!!looks pretty girly to me,,i hope she stays a girl:fingers:Quote:

jjc- that's great news!
Well as for feelings, sometimes I have a feeling its a girl but...then I tell myself "no, prepare yourself for boy"...that is just me though..wanting to prepare myself...with ds2 I was completely sidetracked...I totally thought he was a girl only to find out boy...so I guess I don't want to get hopes up.
Kiesse- your ds will come around...he will become interested as the preg goes on and once you find out it will prepare him for the gender boy or girl. DOn't feel bad...ds1 tells me he doesn't want mommy to even have a baby and he doesn't even know I am preg yet. (we are not telling them till 12 week scan)..when I ask him if he would like another sister or brother he says "no"...by other ds wants a baby sister.
can't wait...good luck and fingers crossed for you!!!Quote:
