Roll-call!! Due June/July/August 2013

[Atsaukina1]

Just to say please don't cut folic acid just yet, its important you keep the dose up til you are 12 weeks then you can wean off it slowly thats my Atomic head as told by the fair lady herself x

thanks think that might be for mamas taking high doses? i only took 400 and am still taking it so far but my diet has way more than enough- need to go and look up weaning

sorry i never cut sodium- i didn't salt my food but still was hitting way above the limits just eating reg.
I think you are in the clear though becasue you are over 2 weeks right?
only supps I did were folic acid and will be cutting that soon too since I get all mine from food sources. I have never taken prenatlas while prego they just don't agree w/ me and food sources are absorbed by body better anyway.
def. need to get away from the le diet and start upping that protein and fat for the baby just start going back to eating good food how long were you on diet? i only didi it for 5-6 weeks so maybe that's why it's so easy for me to go back to shoveling my face lol.

I was on the diet for three months. No meat since June.
Yeah I think it's lm conditioned to eat mushrooms and zucchini.

Anyone else have a hard time going ba k to eating normal? I still havent eaten any meat!

HELLO SECOND TRIMESTER!!!!!!
I am so excited to finally be over the first trimester, mostly for the steep decline in miscarriage rates lol. I stopped taking my diclectin at bedtime a couple nights ago but my tummy was super upset last night so I ended up going down to get 1. Hoping that was my last bit of nausea saying bye to us I won't be taking anymore hehe!

It took me awhile to get back to eating normally. I kept forgetting I was allowed to snack! But now I am eating constantly. :S I am always hungry and I start to feel queasy if my stomach gets empty.

Ladies, is second trimester 12 weeks or 13 weeks?
I thought it was 13 weeks and that's also what my ticker says but my pregnancy phone app tells me I'm already in the second trimester? HM! Well last night I decided not to take my diclectin before bed (my nausea comes at about 8pm and I have trouble sleeping so I have been taking just 1 at 7:30 each night) to see if my nausea will subside on it's own and I fell asleep pretty easily so I guess it's almost done! Still had a bit of an upset tummy but DH rubbed my back and I fell right asleep. Waking up was a lot easier too! It's a good morning - DS is in a fab mood, I feel good and the first snow fall came over night so it's nice to see a white yard!

Yay cvd Glad you are feeling better. I think 2nd trimester starts at week 13 but not 100%sure. I'm also starting to feel nausea is better but still very very gassy. And I think I'm a little less tired too. On my last scan last Friday, doctor told me to stop taking folic acid for 3 days cause it might also be the culprit of nausea. He said if when you stop it, you still have nausea, take them for another two weeks, but if you feel better without them, stop them. He said the important thing is that we take them before getting pregnant and till about 12 weeks. I stopped as he said and I am feeling better so I'm not taking them anymore.

Can I join you? Just got my BFP today!!!

Congratulations Sunflower3! Glad you're here Hope you have a happy healthy pregnancy and your desired gender cooking in there

[dreamingpink77]

Me too - I got mine yesterday at 8dpo quite a good line and a stronger line today at 9dpo - the darkest line ive ever got even darker tha my last 12dpo test so hoping that that is a good sign of a strong bean :-)

I have already congratulated you in another thread but another CONGRATULATIONS won't harm Yay! So happy you're back with us Mum23boys. Hope this is your pink sticky bean

[dreamingpink77]

Lovely to hear that your scan went so well. So exciting! Only 4 wks until your gender is confirmed! That's excellent... We will see eh? XX

Thanks Maple Yeah, can't wait...I'm counting the days!

Sorry in advance for tmi but has anyone experienced mega amounts of discharge in their pregnancy? I've never known anything like it!!! A lot is jelly see through type - sorry tmi. I know atomic said she had a lot with her last pregnancy but not sure how long for. Worries me a bit as wonder where it's all coming from! Hope I don't offend anyone with my tmi on this post!

Add me to this as well. At one point I had discharge which looked a bit like a show. I had a massive panic attack that i was going to miscarry but the midwife told me it's normal.

[3boys]

Yeah i've got that to, its really thick and sticky and i keep worrying maybe things are dislodging and i'm miscarrying but nothing happens, no pain but occassionally there is a little blood streak in it (sorry tmi ladies) but not like period more like that from a scratch.

Other weird thing for me is my cervix hasn't risen (not that i have been poking it or anything)

This is exactly what happened to me, really thick, sticky and stretchy, kept thinking I was losing my plug!
