November 2013 babies!

6bluewant1pink, I am exactly with you!! Thanks for posting that! I am bascially over the nausea after eating here and there (but I do that not pregnant too!) And I cannot stand at the moment hubby wanting to DTD. I feel bad too. With my other pregnancy I wasn't like this... maybe it will pass? Anyway, just loved hearing someone going through the same.

Oh, and zero energy too. I work from home and usually when I am not busy I am so productive cooking, laundry, cleaning, etc. Now I nap when I am not busy and then can barely get off the couch to walk the dog! My doc says fatigue is the last to go. Ugh.

Hope you continue to feel better and have more energy.

6blue - lucky you! I wish my m/s would go away! Zem - I have been forcing myself to eat lots of small meals during the day. Sometimes I want to have a legitmate meal, other times I have to make myself eat cereal and/or crackers just to put something in my stomach. Usually once I have a little food in my stomach it goes away for a few hours. As far as what to eat goes...I have no idea. Sometimes I see something and can eat that, other times I don't want to eat anything at all. Saltine or soda crackers are my only friends then. I also love white grape juice, but I usually have to water it down a little because its too strong to drink on its own. Ginger ale/beer can be helpful too. Good luck!

6blue- same here too. ms has all but gone still nauseous here and there though. especially when i have overdone it.
i feel terrible though as my hubby has been working 7 days straight and i have done nothing but the basics in the house. i was supposed to get our rumpus room ready to change into a bedroom but i havent even made any kind of attempt to start.

yes for the YI here too - i havent ever had one so early and only had them when i was pregnant with my twins and i had them non stop from about 25ish weeks pregnant with them.
does it make me mean that i am kinda grateful for the YI coz i really dont feel like dtd right now and it gives me a break without hubby getting angry with me since he wants it ALL the time.

eeek i can book a gender scan from mother's day onwards - i'm kinda scared to find out this time.
what is everyone else doing? elective gender scan, waiting til morph scan or staying team green?

hopefull ms starts slowing down for everyone very soon <3

Really hoping peoples ms eases up, mine comes and goes but really not as bad as it was. How exciting mumof6! I really want to find out asap but not sure if it will happen. Thinking of going when I go visit my sister (there is no place near us) but I think my DH will be disappointed because he'd really like to be there. Should really just be patient and wait for the morph scan.

Did you decide to do the blood test Lizzie? You must almost know by now!

Hi bythe******... I just went in today for the blood test, but decided to pass on the gender scan one. It is still $300 out of pocket with insurance. I am doing the first trimester screen, but $300 seemed a little steep for information I can find out in a few weeks anyway. The nurse said just do the regular screen and wait for the sex.

My ob sends the 1st tri screen to a perinatal specialist for the neck measurement, etc. Last time when I went I asked if he would take a peek at the sex. He predicted boy, and that is what I had, so I figured I will ask him again when I go in for that in 2 weeks.

I am kinda scared to find out also! I figure I am having a boy, but it is fun to have a hope for a girl a little longer. I had a hilarious dream that they were giving out blue tickets if you were having a boy and pink tickets if you were having a girl. I got a green ticket. I asked what this meant and they said, well, there is a good chance you are having a girl. I was so excited in my dream (and when I woke up!) haha. Then I realized, well isn't there always the chance I am having a girl?

Well I have been having some spotting last night and this morning...I am going in in about an hour to get it checked out. Wish me luck, although I am not holding out much hope....

[mindyjean]

Oh no, zem7, I hope everything is okay.

Well I went to the Dr. today. They found the baby and said it has a strong heat beat! They could not figure out where the bleeding was from, but said that the baby and sack look healthy. I also found out that in less than a week I lost another 4 pounds. So I am now down 14 pounds...He put me on some meds for MS. I took one right after I got it, still feel sick??.. Does it take a few days to get in your system or what is wrong with me.. Guess the good news is that for now, the baby looks ok.

[bythestream]

Glad your bub is fine Zem, that was a bit of a scare. Im not sure about the meds but I hope you feel better soon.

Ugh, my ms has been horrible today. I am soooooooo over living like this.

My first appointment with my midwife is on Wednesday. I hope I like her. I am debating asking for a Rx for something to help the nausea. I don't really like taking medication, but I can't keep doing this every day.

I'm also waking up in the middle of the night to pee, and finding I can't go back to sleep because of anxiety. I'm tired, just not able to get to sleep. It's really not even that anything is "wrong" I just feel anxious in the middle of the night.

It's 8:30 here but I'm exhausted. I need to do some laundry but I really just want to go to bed now. Ugh, hate this crap.
