[cvd]

They should help cvd! I have been okay so far but it is still early for me. I will be stocking up too. It may take a day or two but you should be going soon!

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!

hahah CVD! I am the same, I am terrible at picking produce. I can sit for 15 minutes trying to find what I think is the best and come out with the worst. Dh just laughs when I bring stuff home. He worked in produce as a teenager and still remembers how to find the good stuff!

Lemonade helped me SO much this pregnancy! I recommend Minutemaid! I also sucked on Old Fashioned Lemon Drops in the first trimester.

Thanks Butterfly, I'm drinking lots of water with freshly squeezed orange juice, it seems for now I like it. I'm also chewing on spearmint or peppermint gum and it seems to help a bit both with the bad taste in mouth and also with the constant nausea feeling. Can't wait till first trimester is over!

Tmi but any mamas have tips for constipation??? I was drinking some prune juice a bit back but now with this nausea I just can't do it!!! I eat all whole grain food, try to drink lots of water although I could definitely up that! Was wondering if anyone has anything else that seems to work (that my nauseous tummy can handle)? Nausea + constipation makes for a super unhappy mama lol!!

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.

I don't think I could do prunes but I just went and got some apples and pears! I usually eat an orange each day too! Thanks

My doc also suggests oranges and also kiwi and try to avoid rice and junk foods.

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.
Oh my. I am one of those people that can't seem to ever find a "pregnancy glow" lol I am miserable already

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
