DH and I can't think of a boy name.. all we have are girl names. We have always been unable to decide until I'm 7 or 8 months pregnant too! Choosing a name is kind of a big deal. . They're stuck with it for the rest of their life! XX I have two friends who got their maternity test back in a week. Hopefully it's not 10 days for your sanity

We've had our girl name picked out since we were dating lol. Sadly, it becomes more popular every year. As for boys, I know the name I like but I'm more flexible than DH. My previous two are John and Daniel, so ideally it would be a classic name like those.

We have had a girl name we like since I was pregnant with DS1 but it is a bit too popular so I would look at other options if required. I have no idea for boy names as we have always struggled with them, I'm pretty sure we will have a boy though so we will have to come up with something.

I'm considering convincing DH that the money we saved not going to the fertility specialist can pay for the harmony test... I keep going back and forth about having it!

Ugh! I'm 12 weeks and MS seems to have peaked today...at least I hope so! I couldn't finish eating my eggs I cooked this morning and had to eat a bowl of cereal instead! I have been incredibly nauseous all day! I sure hope it goes away soon! I've only gained 3 pounds or 1.3 kilograms. With both boys I was up 6-8 pounds by 12 weeks!!

How is everyone else doing/feeling?

Ugh XX, I was really pulling for you to be through this by now! Hopefully it will magically disappear as you cross the line into the second tri. However, I have been reading that persistent sickness into the 2nd trimester may be related to liver function and that dandelion root tea is supposed to help. Has anyone heard or tried that?

I am 8.5 weeks and using Diclegis twice a day but I still get super nauseous every evening. I don't want to go to the max dose if I can avoid it, but I might have to just to see if it has an effect. No food aversions, thank goodness- everything sounds yummy and eating helps for a short period of time before the nausea just takes over. I'm feeling a lot of RL pain- abdomen pulls catch me by surprise when I stretch or even just try to sit up. And my poor other kiddos- mommy is crabby and tired and short tempered I try not to be short with them but it's hard when I'm fighting a rolling stomach and they are being difficult with me lol.

I can't take/drink Dandelion root tea, since I'm allergic to weeds. My nausea usually gets better in the second trimester. With DS1 by 13 weeks and with DS2 at 22 weeks. Who knows! Every pregnancy is different.

Be kind to yourself Temerity! I'm sure you're not as crabby as you think [emoji6]! I bet your kiddos just sense the changes within you and that is making them act in ways they wouldn't normally. I explained to both of my boys, ages 4.5yrs and 23mo, that mommy is growing a baby in her tummy. This makes me sleepy at times, my tummy to feel upset, and I may be grumpy because I don't feel well. I still love you both and want to play with you, but I may have to rest at times or change how I play. They were fine and have been great!

You'll find your way, but be kind to yourself. It's ok to have bad days- we all do! You're a great mom [emoji4]!

Sorry to hear you guys are feeling so sick still.

Congratulations xx on hitting the 12 week mark [emoji322][emoji323][emoji322]

I'm getting terrible insomnia. I go to bed between 10-11pm and generally wake up between 1-2am and don't fall back asleep till around 5am. On work days I'm up at 5.45am so it's killing me... I bought some benedryl today and really hope it helps!

I don't know how much weight I've put on but my tummy really popped our this week.

Hope you're feeling better soon xx and temerity and anybody else I've missed.

Sunbuny- I thought my tummy had finally popped out but sadly no. I just look like I'm about to get one helluva period! At night I look more pregnant, but I think it's just bloating still. With DS2, my tummy popped by 10 weeks! I can't even wear my cute maternity jeans. I guess I should be happy that I'm still comfortably wearing my size 4 jeans.

It's funny what we wish for when pregnant- to feel sick to know things are ok and to have your belly pop to look pregnant!

Hope everyone is doing well! I hope Seabee, Eleena, 5babies, Purple, Smarston, Temerity, Twinkle (and anyone else I may have forgotten!) are all doing great!

I feel like poop! Nausea is all day, I take ginger and it helps a little. DS2 has been waking up at 5 every morning, 6 if I'm lucky. And I'm up all night tossing and turning or peeing. I've actually lost 2 pounds so far.. which is opposite of what happened with my boys. I'm super crabby too!! Like the smallest things drive me nuts. Another new symptom. I was always a happy preggo! Hopefully it all subsides in the 2nd trimester.
