Well, obviously I am not the best fruit shopper - I can't say I have ever bought pears and I sure picked pears that are NOT ripe!! I went to take a bite and I could have maybe chipped a tooth haha I will have to wait a couple days for those!Quote:

So sorry Emily about your miscarriage :( I wasn't on the forum for a few days and I only saw this now. I hope you will be feeling better soon sweet, it must be a very hard time for you :( Hope you will be ready to ttc soon and you will get your sticky bean this time :pray:

Congratulations Mrs_P and Praying4Pink, I haven't been on the forum for some days...so happy for you, hope you both have a happy healthy pregnancy :)
Hi cvd, I'm always having the same problem...Constipation! it sucks! I consulted doctor as I was very very constipated and he gave me glycerine suppositories, I had to do them cause I was so blocked up. I'm also having Duphalac, it's a syrup and it is safe to have it during pregnancy, it's not very nice to drink cause it's too sweet and I try to avoid it but when I have it I feel better. Don't know if you can find that in Canada.Quote:

You know I get the same issues it's constipation for 3-4 days and then it's the opposite for 1 day. I will be in the bathroom it seems all day long. It's a cycle...doens't matter what I eat it just has to run it's course....ewww
What a horrible problem to have eh! It's worse for me this pregnancy because at the end of my last pregnancy I ended up with the dreaded hemorrhoids, I almost made it through my whole preg without them, this one... they are laughing at me. :( I am going to look that up and see if we have it! I heard colace is safe to use, it is SOOO gross, I have to put it in milk and chug the whole thing. I tried it a couple times and didn't really notice anything so I stopped.Quote:

I have been for my ultrasound today to check out if baby is ok cause of the bleeding I had 10 days or so ago. Well it seems baby is ok :) We saw and heard heart beating and the measurement of the baby is of 7wks 1day, so that's exactly how far I am. I'll have to go for another scan in 4weeks, but that's normal procedure here. Gynae said to relax now, she feels baby is fine :)
That's good news dreaming!!!
Yay! That's great!Quote:

The only time that I feel better is when I'm eating, but obviously I can't eat all the time. I try to chew gum, which helps but after some time I get fed up of it (I don't usually am a big fan of chewing gum) I'm always very gassy too and it's such an annoying feeling :( I don't remember being like this with my DS.Quote:

Eek! That sounds painful! It reminds me why I liked having a csection though lol!!! I have the EXACT same nausea as you. I have been sick twice though :( It's just all day long and I'm usually snacking on some five grain soda crackers every 20 mins lol I hate this feeling, but it's sad I'm almost getting used to it! Do you find it's worse at night? About an hour before bed it's like it the nausea decides to crank itself up! I can relate to how you feel about being bloated and gassy, I also didn't feel anything like this with DS :( I can remember at Christmas (I would have been about 4 months along) I had a bit of a baby bump but I tell ya, I am already showing more now then I was then!!! I'm glad to hear we are having similar experiences, always nice to be able to relate lolQuote:

I sometimes think I would prefer a ceserean but I don't think we can choose for it over here, as far as I know they only do it if baby can't get out or cause of some complications. I'm so afraid of giving birth again :( I thought I was gonna die with DS and I had swore back then that I wouldn't ever have children again. Well I guess we all say that during labor.
I don't think nausea gets worse for me at night and at least I don't feel it when I'm asleep, so that's another good reason to sleep more when I can :) I can't say I'm showing yet but I definitely feel trousers tighter especially after having that feeling that they were falling down when I was on the LE diet, I really can feel the difference!
We can't choose csections here either - I ended up having to get one because I was progressing too fast and he was not coming down, his heart beat had a couple dips while they were giving me my epidural so they decided then it was safest! The pain afterwards was pretty rough, I will admit. After the csection I was ecstatic, I had a fabulous experience. But this time DH will be staying home with me for 2 weeks, he went back to work after 3 days last time and being home was brutal. I couldn't nap because if I laid down, I couldn't get back up! LOL! Even sitting was hard, I am a wuss though. I also had a horrible first 4 weeks nursing so that made the pain seem worse I think. All went well though, my scar is about 2 inches long and I can still rock a low cut bikini and you'd never know!Quote:

I was due 7th March and dr said they will induce me 5 days after if labor wouldn't start naturally. I had to be admitted a day earlier to be applied some kind of gel down there. Midwife said that I was dilated 2.5 already and so she didn't do gel. The next morning she checked me again and she said I was dilated 3 (I wasn't feeling any pain at all by then) Then they started giving me the drip for induction at 8.30am and I started getting frequent contractions immediately, they lasted 1minute or more each and I got them every minute. So I thought that I was quite dilated. At noon midwife came to check me again and she said that I only opened up 0.5 more and was then 3.5 dilated. I was in shock when she told me that. I was in so much pain that I couldn't believe I was only that open 3.5. Then the gave me pedathene to decrease the pain, but I wasn't feeling it made any difference, I was only sort of half asleep with it but still felt the pain. I was ready to deliver at 15.20pm. By then I was exhausted but finally at least I could start pushing. Baby was born 20minutes after. It's not the delivery as such that I'm afraid of but the waiting to dilate. And I really don't want to get induced as I think it's much worse than having a natural delivery. I really hope this time,it starts naturally.Quote:

But obviously, I got farther and DS didn't want to lol. Glad to hear your baby was born quick though, that's great!!! I hope it starts naturally for you as well and the dilating goes fast! They usually say with your second it does so that's promising!!Quote:

How exciting, cvd! We told my parents and DH's parents, and that's it. We're planning on telling the whole family on Thanksgiving day (if we can hold out that long!). I'll be almost 12 weeks by then.
That's fabulous!! I would wait but I can't hold it in anymore lol!! And I'm getting super bloated so it's going to be obvious in a couple more weeks. Silly question I know, but when's thanksgiving down there?? We have ours early octQuote:

Thanksgiving is such a huge feast in my husband's big family! Turkey, mashed potatoes, 3 different kinds of stuffing, green bean casserole, candied yams, corn, artichokes, fruit salad, buttered rolls, etc. and then 6-8 different pies for dessert! ;) I can't wait!! Yummmm :)

Today my colleague prepared some cappuccino and I just couldn't stand the smell, I had to go out in the terrace and wait till she drank it. When I was getting back at my desk, another colleague got some toast and again I couldn't stand it. I didn't even know where I was going to stay while he ate and I just went outside of the building for 5minutes until the smell went away. At least the boss was not here today so I could get out for a while.Quote:
