Due in December/January/February 2013/14

Meeks I still get cramps now! Apart from the usual stretching pains I have suffered MAJORLY with gas this pregnancy and like Tree said I've also had such bad pains with it! I know how hard it is not to worry honey but I'm sure that little bean is snuggling in there nicely.

I've really over endulged this pregnancy! Usually I feel sick so this limits it but for some reason this pregnancy I've had no MS (been worrying at times) so all I have done is eat! And my biggest craving is pasta! I could eat carbonara until its coming out of my ear holes nom nom nom

3boys, I over indulged with my DD... Ate anything and everything that came in my way lol!!! Honestly make the most of it, this pregnancy I hardly feel like eating , definitely loss of apetite and when I do start to feel the hunger pains I start feeling nauseas which makes it even worse and feel like I need food down me ASAP before I pass out ! Joys of pregnancy..

I had an early scan on Friday and me and hubby seen our little bean, was so lovely to see her/him all I could see was bubs kicking up a storm in there moving it's lil hands and feet around!! They gave me a EDD of January 5th.. Everything slowly kicking in now..ok maybe TMI but even though I'm drinkin water my pee is extremely yellow!! Lol I don't know if that's normal because I'm use to it being a light ish colour this is like so bright yellow, but apart from that I feel normal down below.

I think I may have a 12 week scan when I go to the UK, hopefully get a shot of the nub.

How are you ladies feeling?

The bright yellow can be from taking multivitamins. Berocca (b vitamin supp, not for use in pregnancy) has done this to me in the past, so I assume all multi's can. They say its when you take too much or don't use all of the vitamins that's the bodies way of getting rid of it.

So funny what you say about being pg with a dd. hope that's true. My ds1 and 2 pregnancies I lost 3-4kg in the first trimester because I was so sick and never felt like eating. Exactly what you said re nausea and hunger. I gained 14 and 16kg with their pregnancies by the end, but the lesser one I gave birth at 38 weeks, the more one was 42weeks.

This time I'm dead sure I'll be gaining 20+ if I keep going this way! Not that it matters. At all. But it's funny.

Urgh the smells are getting to me. Today we had risotto with tuna, tomato and spinach for dinner. I wanted it so bad, ate half, then started going off it from the smell. I couldn't finish despite being hungry, and had to move the bowl away. I still feel sick 3hrs later and keep smelling it despite cleaning it all up!

Lol this will be me, hahaha

Dh just asked if I wanted ice cream. I feel sick but said yes anyway. Dammit I starved for over a year I'm going to cram it in before this nausea gets worse!!

Meeks well done on deciding to stop temping tomorrow! I did it for too long and totally freaked when I had dips, only then to spend ages on google and discover they are pretty common. The last thing we need is more to stress about. Re food I couldn't wait to eat properly and the desire I'm sure is not only so great because of the LE diet but also because bubs needs lots of varied nutrients!

Meeks by the way thanks for guessing my nub pic - I did re post the crumpled pic underneath the three original pics in its non crumpled state, if that helps!?

The LE diet did change my attitude to food for the better. Unfortunately as the ms came along all my good lessons rapidly vanished out of the window. Carbs are my savour... All day long, and I too gave put on the best part of a stone. In fact it's probably at least a stone now, I've hidden the scales. :-)

3Boys the gas for me has been something else!!! Ridiculous. I guess it's the hormones, and perhaps our high carb diets too...

Afy lovely to have the early scan, it's so reassuring to see someone in there!

Yes maybe it's the pasta making it worse.... It's a good job DH and I are on a sex ban because I smell soooooo bad I doubt he would want to go there even if he could!! :rofl:

Afy my wee is really yellow/ orange, it looks like concentrated orange juice! I'm drinking loads but it doesn't make any difference.

Congrats on your scan! It's lovely when you get to sneak a peak at them. My NT scan is dragging so bad! Can't wait to see the little lime again :)

Yep, I got a pinchy thorny feeling really early on. If you think about the logistics of what is going on in there it isn't surprising! Fingers crossed that this is the stickiest of beans.

Thank GOD I'm not the only one with the gas issues! haha I swear it is SO unlike me! It feels like some alien invader has taken over my body! LOL

Meeks the cramping is totally normal... not a very reassuring side effect mind you, but it is normal :) I think it's probably your cervix closing up for these 9 months... or something along those lines.

Yep, I've had quite strong noticeable cramping of all varieties for all 3 of my pregnancies! This pregnancy has probably been the only one where I didn't worry about it, just because I knew I'd totally experienced it very often in my previous ones.
