Due June/July/ August 2017

Dreamsister- glad to hear your scan confirmed girl and how sweet it was for your boys. That little girl is going to be well protected. I love my older brothers- it is a special bond.

I just started taking extra D vitamin this week because of that autism study that was all over the news. My prenatal had the minimum, just like the article said, so I figure it couldn't hurt to take extra.

Regarding dreams- I have some very crazy dreams but it concerns me a bit because I don't dream about the baby. I dream about pregnancy or talking to people about the baby but I haven't had a dream where I see the baby. I think the reality that she will someday be out and be my daughter is still surreal to me and maybe my dreams reflect that.

14w0d today- Officially in the second trimester regardless of what app or book you read (some said 12 or 13, but popular ones say 14). We still haven't told parents, most siblings and family or work. I decided not to announce it on xmas day. I think it would be too stressful to do it in a large group since my side of the family is big. I will tell my mom before New Years and then the rest of the family. I seriously have zero desire to tell anyone else.

I know it is okay by everything you read, but I am a bit concerned because I haven't gained any weight. I have a very small appetite and hardly drink any water (I am trying). I hope baby is okay and still growing okay. My tummy is bigger but not that much, I still wear my normal pants, but they are tighter. Hate that my next scheduled scan is not till 20 weeks. Might go for a private around 16w. How is everyone else's weight gain?

Bear in mind the babies in 3rd world countries, they come out healthy despite of their environment etc its only once they are out they go downhill. Your baby will be fine regardless of what u eat etc, it would be u who might suffer baby takes everything they need at the detriment of their mums sometimes x
I started out a bit heavier this pregnancy so im not looking forward to seeing what the scales tell me at the end!

GirlieCat: I don't know how you do to keep it secret. I am eager to tell everyone. My stomac is BIG. I am normal 49-50 kilo (110 lb) and now I am up at 58 kilo/127 lb. So have gained 17,3 lb/8 kilo and am 14 weeks. I think it's a lot of weight gain and I cannot fit my normal clothes anymore.
I eat a lot - some cake and juices but mostly healthy food. If I don't eat I will get servere nausea. I also drink about 2-3 liter of water everyday.
I still haven't drinked coffee for the past 3 month. I don't feel like. Only grapefruit juice and water is what I want.

I don't think I could hide my bump if I tried!
My 8year old put his hand on my belly this morning when I was in bed and he felt the baby kick ❤

Just jumping onto this board. I have some serious nausea going on this pregnancy so I'm pretty much doing nothing but scouring the internet for ways to kill time while my boys watch TV for the millionth hour. I'm having major mom guilt.

I did start taking extra D because I have a history of Gestational diabetes and extra D is said to be helpful to prevent it again. I also heard of the autism study but that wasn't a huge factor. I'm taking about 4K now.

As for weight gain, especially with your first pregnancy I think there's not much to be concerned with not showing yet or having gained much. In fact technically you are only supposed to gain about 4-7 lbs in first trimester. That has never been me...I'm more like a lb a week, but all medical documentation says less in 1st trimester.

Girlie - don't worry about the weight gain, as long as baby is growing thats all that matters.
My friend lost 14 lbs in her first trimester, and when she had the baby she had only put 13lbs back on....and baby was a 8lber, and healthy as anything !

I do understand not wanting to tell anyone.
DH and I have had this conversation today, he thinks it's 'weird' that I don't want to tell our friends.
I'm just not interested in being made a fuss of, or getting unsolicited advice.
4 people know, and they annoy me on a daily basis asking 'how is the baby' !

Bre - Is it your scan today ?

At my last apt at 11-12wks, I had lost 3lbs, but my diet had reverted to LE a bit. After that, I just kept eating... haha. I am sure I'm up a few lbs now! I am showing a bit but wearing a lot of bit sweaters! haha
We still haven't told anyone, except my mom & my husbands best friend (he was visiting at Thanksgiving). We will see what we decide after our scan today or how we will do it. I am praying we hear blue, how my son would react to know he would have a brother would be the best Christmas present. My girls would love another sister, too, haha! Having a healthy baby is seriously the best gift!

Girlie- I am sure baby is fine! I hardly ate with DD1, she is petite but so is the women in my husbands mother's side and perfect!

What time is your scan today Bre? I'm over here seriously chomping at the bit waiting to find out what you're having, haha! Seriously, I'm like checking for updates every few minutes [emoji6]!
