I was in Mexico for a week last week, and since I got back for three days have had GI problems (not vomiting, just cramping and diarrhea -sorry, prob TMI). Anyway, now I'm worried I have some bacterial issue (maybe from water there), that I'm sure I'll be fine with, but I worry about something being harmful to the baby now Do you think this would affect baby? I'm about 7 weeks. My first appt and scan is Monday.

I'm sorry to hear you are feeling sick From what I read, I think the main concern is making sure you don't get dehydrated from fluid loss due to diarrhea or vomiting, but other than that I don't think it should be a problem for the baby. I would probably call your OBGYN/Midwife if I were you to see what they have to say and to give you peace of mind. GL and hope you feel better soon!

Who here is having intense food cravings/aversion? All I want is junk food, protein, red meat, and " filling" and sour/spicy food foods. I crave steak, cheddar cheese, French fries, hamburgers, chicken nuggets with hot sauce, peanut butter, and lemon water with ice. The only healthy foods I can tolerate are pineapple, tomatoes, strawberries, raspberries, and oatmeal. I hate how I have the urge to drive through McDonalds or Sonic once a day for my second lunch, yes my appetite is huge! I feel guilty eating junk because I know its not healthy for the baby and I don't want to gain a bunch of excess pregnancy weight. Anyone else?

Yes I can't wait now although I did have scan at 6wks6days to check and I had one yesterday too as I've been having lots of pain and some spotting but baby is fine and measuring 9wks 4days, but I'm still having the scan on 21st as baby was only tiny on screen and couldn't see anything, so can't wait to see bubs bigger plus DH has missed out on the last 2 scans so can't wait for him to come next time.

I hope ur feeling much better now. Does this pregnancy feel different from your others? Goodluck for ur 12weeks scan

I think i might just have to do that, I did tell my sis when I get back I want a chippy later on lol.
Well I was reading up about it and alot of women got conflicting results but some women said if its not carried out properly your results can be affected. They also said you cant have sex for upto 48 hours befor testing as it can effect the results.. but i wouldnt mind trying it either but i wouldnt wanna get my hope high lol.
Iam taking multivitamins which already have 1000IU of Vitamin D and 400MCG of folic acid, extra folic acid and fish Oil. stopped everything else to be honest Im not good at tracking down my supps so I limited it to what is more important.

Yes sorry I Swayed blue too.

I want to do it too!!! Lol just for fun tho. I already looked at the chinese calendar, its says girl!!!

How u feeling today? Im exhausted today, my dd didnt sleep well last night. Now they are both in bed. So i can relax.. Ahhh!

Im having the same supps as u now.. I dropped the others bcos i was so fed up of taking so many. Felt like a pill popper. Afy do u miss ur uk tv programmes? Eastenders etc???
