And the nausea starts ...blechhh

Oh my god, ditto here. Having a hard time... barely slept. Laying here slowly eating my second apple in an hour... trying to calm it down

I don't think Medicaid is an issue at all when people that need it use it and I'm glad that option is available, my best friend had to use it for a few years (although she did mention drs treated her differently. ) However I do think it's an issue when people DO actually take advantage of it which I have witnessed first hand. My husband works for a good company and we still pay 500/month out of his paycheck for healthcare and after that we have a lot of co pays, deductibles, costs etc and the people taking advantage (playing the system) are getting it all for free, that does piss me off to be honest bc it's not fair to anyone , including those who actually need and are entitled to Medicaid, I think that's what gives people the impression everyone is taking advantage. The family I knew literally had millions of dollars and used it through 4 pregnancies at least. Surgena- i dont know if you still follow the healthcare debate in the US but I don't think the new healthcare plan will help anything , its just forcing people to purchase through privately run (profit motivated) companies. I think it was passed as a political move to make the groundwork and reasoning to establish a public healthcare option when this way doesn't "fix" things

I follow everything political-related. I don't think it's great, either, but it certainly wasn't the initial plan put on the table.

Oregon and Washington have awesome climates. If I was brave enough to leave my family I would move to Seattle in less than a second. You just have to not mind clouds but if you live in the UK I hear those are common there, haha. Medicaid is nice but like I said people think you are taking advantage and don't treat you the greatest sometimes. I say they are just jealous. Really nothing to be jealous over since we are on it for being low income. If you can afford health insurance here I would say you are doing pretty well for yourself.

When I had insurance over there, I couldn't afford it. It was not fun.

My nausea seems to be improving, I still haven't got much of an appetite or been brave enough to have a normal size dinner (for fear of being sick). My bump seems to have gone down too, I think most of it was probably bloating but it is still a bit odd. I do still have a small bump which I know is normal for just under 12 weeks but I suppose as it is my third I thought I would be bigger earlier. I have to say I don't really feel pregnant, we tried to hear the babies heartbeat last night on the doppler and although it kept picking something up that was between 150-200 beats per minute we couldn't hear it so I think it must still be too early. I've got a midwife appointment in the morning so I'm hoping she finds it so I can have some reassurance.
I realised this morning that I can now say my scan is next month! Doesn't sound quite as bad that way lol!

I hope everyone else is feeling ok, for those worried about lack of morning sickness mine didn't really kick in until I was about 7 weeks and was at its worst around 9 weeks. x
