Mocha I am the same right now. I made Veal Meatball Soup with onion, red pappers, garlic, carrot, celery, and kosher noodles... I ate the broth only but it did help my m/s last night. The only protein I can handle are egg sandwiches in the morning.

Very exciting, Bec!

I have a question for my fellow girl swayers: have you found it hard to revert back to your usual carnivore lifestyle? I was on the diet for a total of 6 months over the past year, and I think my body really started to get used to being vegetarian. Now that I'm back to eating the amount of meat I used to, I'm not really enjoying it. Don't get me wrong - the occasional hamburger is nice, but last week after about 5 suppers in a row that featured meat at the main dish, I suddenly felt I couldn't take it anymore. For 3 nights I went back to eating veggie pasta dishes - one night I even ate my old standby of veggies, creme fraiche, pasta and parmesan...and it was very tasty! I think I'm going to start including less meat in our meals, which will be healthier for all of us!

nooo, I'm still busy making up for it and really enjoying my old foods!!

i totally went back to my carinvorne ways, hehe

but I don't eat a lot of meat, i never ate a ton of meat in one serving per se, just used to have some kind of meat every night, i am a big carb eater, so if the dish has meat and rice, I'll have a huge dollop of rice and a small serving of meat and a small serving of veggies

thx ladies for advice on the SAHM/SAHD situation....I don't expect a spotless house, but I do expect dishes and minor picking up done, you know? I think he's gonna try harder this coming week.

Another gal here that jumped right back to old diet. I eat a very paleo style diet...so the LE diet was like torture! These days I pretty much just crave red meat and salmon.

Meat was the thing I missed least on the diet. I missed cheese and bread the most, I think - I'm a big cheese eater!

private early scan booked for Monday when I should be 7+0!!
petrified we won't see a heartbeat

[Mochagirl]

That's exciting you that you have your scan booked for so soon, rainbow. Sending you healthy bean vibes....

Today I am exactly 11 weeks, which is the day I had my m/c last time around. I'm feeling pretty good though - I heard the heartbeat this morning, and my 12 week scan is a week and a half away. I'm hoping I'm finally going to get out of the first trimester. I can't wait! This has felt like the longest first trimester in history - beginning last September.

Hi girls sorry for being quiet I am really sick with the flu

[Plum3]

Rainbow, only a few more days. I feel the same, I will relax a bit when I hear the heartbeat. Hope it goes well!

Mocha, it must be nice hearing the heartbeat all the time

5, sorry you have been so sick. We are all germy in our house at the moment, seems to be going around in circles. Anyway, hope you are feeling better soon.

[Hobbermittens]

Rainbow, FX everything goes well at your scan!

Mocha, I hate the first trimester. I bet you are feeling relieved to be leaving it and moving on! Hope all goes wel at your 12wk scan. Having a doppler to hear the HB must help keep you reassured.

TTC5, sorry you are sick! Has the bleeding stopped? Are you still on bedrest?

All the people talking about gong back to their old eating habits... I have been eating total crap! I was eating much healthier on the HE diet. Oh well. Today I made a chocolate cake.... going to try not to eat it all in one sitting!
