It's really hard to want something so much and not be sure if you'll ever have it.

TP glad the cramping has stopped! I've had one or two dreams already that I miscarried - it really is just our anxieties being reflected in dreams I think!

I threw up for the first time this morning. It was first thing in the morning so it was just stomach acid, plus dry heaving for like 5 minutes. So lovely. Been mostly ok the rest of the day though. I did that with my boys (threw up every morning right after getting out of bed) so I'm wondering if that will start up again. And man this fatigue is killing me - did not feel anywhere near this tired the first two times!! Getting really anxious about Friday though as it's the "supposed to see the heartbeats" scan and last time I had that scan (in February) things did not go well (measured 11 days behind, no HB, m/c confirmed a week later). I feel like that baby may have stopped developing around the 5-5.5 week mark so since my scan last Friday was at 5.5 weeks I'm worrying about whether it happened again. Praying it will be different this time!

Thanks for the Welcome ABC.
And I totally understand your fear. Even without previous loss the anxiety and fear is so normal. I get so scared before every single check up and I'm lucky enough that I haven't experienced a mc, so I can only imagine! I'm sure you're going to get great news though!

Hopefully all of your morning sickness doesn't last for too much longer. Have to say even though I know everyone says it doesn't mean anything I'm sitting here wishing for some indication of morning sickness just because I had absolutely none with my boys. I have felt slightly nauseous mostly after eating food and don't know if it's in my head. But you guys are welcome to give me some of yours so I can have some hope! Heehee

Haha, I think it's funny how all of us are going bonkers over the OWTs at the same time we're sitting here going, "There's nothing to it!" I know I didn't vomit once with DD (or any of my pregnancies), though I had nausea with all of them at some point except that first loss and this one I've had maybe 15 minutes total of moments of nausea (and none in days, which I am HOPING to mean the placenta took over!). I did have very strong nausea and food aversions with DD from conception until 16 weeks or so, though. No food aversions at all now! I'll eat anything, haha. Which I should have been using to eat quite healthy, since I had trouble eating anything but eggs and useless carbs with DD, but instead I'm rebelling against my years of HE dieting haha.

One thing I noticed yesterday was how thick my hair has gotten. I DO have very thick, nice hair normally -- it's my most complimented feature. But this is getting to the point where I might have to get it thinned. My hair was gorgeous with DD though, so I'm not taking it too much as an OWT. I remember when I was about 13 or 14 weeks pregnant with her and still hiding it that in-laws were raving about my hair asking what I was doing to it and I had to lie and say I changed conditioners haha. Just sharing a symptom since I'm breaking all my hair ties! It wasn't ever this bad with DD (though maybe that could be because I am legitimately still eating better than I was before and with her). I'm way more constipated than I ever was with her too... ugh, THAT I am assuming is the extra progesterone I'm still taking.

ABC, I am so excited for your scan. I know how hard it is to anticipate and dread them (my next one is Tuesday and I'm already dreading Wednesday, fearing that I'll be a mess all day from bad news the night before?!). And I know we know firsthand that symptoms can be deceptive. But nausea and fatigue are supposed to be increased and earlier with twins, which you're getting, which to me seems like a great sign!! And I'll put money down on at least one of them being a girl!!!!

Since I think all of your are not STMs, how early did you show with your pregnancies following your first? I am seriously thinking this isn't bloat anymore (11 weeks today), and was hoping to hide it for awhile (I didn't even start showing with DD until 22 or 23 weeks). That seems... way different now haha. I also feel weird thinking or phrasing it as "my second" since it's not, you know? But also can't even imagine telling people, "Oh yes, it's my 10th pregnancy," or "Well this would be my 12th kid..." I also wonder if those pregnancies and pretty much all on top of each other over the last 2+ years is why my uterus might be showing sooner?

TP I showed by 10 weeks with both boys but that was because I could not stop eating! I was starving or sick all the time even in the night- I kept food next to me to snack on in the night haha. It would be 1 am and I would be munching croissant or crackers!

My nausea had eased by 11 weeks with ds1 and yes I think that's because the placenta had taken over by then. It was just gone one day and I was like woah this is awesome.
Ds2 was more like 12 weeks.

Still no real ms for me but I'm only 5+3 so plenty of time yet!

I know these scans are stressful for you girls and I'm keeping you in my thoughts and sending you all my positive vibes for healthy rainbow babies xxx

TP, I joke with friends that by the 3rd pregnancy, I showed when I walked outta the bedroom. [emoji23][emoji23] it was bad. This time, I am SO bloated. Uncontrollably. And I’m even on stool softeners this early on. That progesterone is no joke.

You girls are making me feel so much better! If I'm not sucking my stomach in, I swear I look 5 months pregnant -- and it was bloaty at first and all over, but now it's fully my lower stomach which is why I'm starting to think I can't blame how gassy I've been :P

TP the amount of “wow you’re huge” comments I’ve been getting this second pregnancy is a joke!

I swear, like you, my jeans were tight almost instantly!

What time is your appointment today ABC? So excited!!
