Tea and coffee really aggrevate morning sickness, usually for me about 20-30 minutes after drinking a cup, so maybe if you are are a coffee or tea drinker you could switch to a decaf for a while as I would think it was the caffeine maybe? that was causing the upset, hang in there xx

Hi ladies please can I join the group? I'm 7+6 today and edd 24th April. I swayed pink but I feel the sway was not great and am starting to stay awake at night wondering how I'll feel when they say boy. I'm trying to stay positive but this is our last baby so there won't be anymore chances. I did the diet but felt it slipped a bit at times, and did far too many attempts (about 3-4) as was too impatient. This is the main thing that I'm worried about.

I am also nauseous all day everyday and it's making me feel awful. OH has been really good about dtd and says he's happy to wait until it passes but I feel bad for him too.

I have a dating scan on Monday 8+1, does anyone know about the Ramzi theory? I didn't know if 8+1 was too late.

Junie those scan pictures are amazing for 10 weeks. The second one looks like a nub but I know it's too early to say until 13 weeks. Good luck everyone!

Hi Bobster! Congrats on your babe You def still have a chance to hear pink, don't give up hope!!! I hope your MS passes quickly b/c it's no fun!!

[Ashforblue]

Oh & ELP is right! Drinking my black Tea does make my Ms worse if I wake up even a tiny bit sick feeling.... But the weird thing is, coffee doesn't to this as bad!

Congratulations bobster. I am not sure about Ramzi theory. I hope the morning sickness passes soon.

[Bobster]

Thanks ash and pearl. I've gone completely off coffee this time. I'm craving things like lemon water and rephreshing cold drinks instead.

What are your cravings food wise? I've not had anything particular as nothing feels quite right at the moment, but since doing LE I have gone completely off red meat which I used to love! I couldn't wait to have a steak all the way through LE but now I don't want one! Typical

[Bobster]

Also have you guys put weight on since diets? I've gained quite a bit back already from eating so regularly as the sickness comes when I've not eaten for a while

[Ashforblue]

Well my cravings are: lemon water with ice ( have to have ice), kettle chips, been craving meat ( which I haven't given into since I'm plant based, lol) with my last daughter I craved fruit, tons & tons of fruit!!

I have gained weight even though I felt a lot sicker this pregnancy then my previous ones, I have gained more weight!! Am trying to slow it down now!! Oops

Hi Bobster!!! I was waiting for you to post here Honestly I think we all have to remember that with swaying were only pushing the odds more in our favor. You ALWAYS have a chance of having your DG even with the worst sway, of course the flip side is you always can end up with the other gender even with the best sway. I'm trying as hard as I can to focus on all the wonderful parts of having three of a kind (and I can think of lots and lots of reasons why it would be great!) And just not thinking about it. I also had multiple attempts and just know I'm cooking another sweet boy I do hope that we are all pleasantly surprised though!!

[Bobster]

thanks Junie. I hope you are wrong and have your dg. Will you try again if not or is this your last baby? I know there's always a chance but like you I feel strongly that this is a boy. I know it will be amazing to give my ds a little brother and i know whatever it is I will fall in love like I have my first born but I think I will mourn the loss of experiencing a mother daughter relationship of my own. When I think of having my baby I get excited about the thought of a newborn to cuddle again and don't really think about what it will be at first- then my mind starts to worry about if I don't feel that connection because I'm disappointed to have another boy. I'm hoping that finding out at the 20 week scan will give me time to get used to it and none so I don't feel disappointed. I feel guilty for thinking that I might feel like that and it's not because I don't want it- it's purely because I know I'll never experience the other side. I'm glad I found this forum as I haven't told anyone Irl about these feelings and it really helps to share them
