Poor baby. I can't imagine the pain he must be feeling. That just breaks my heart form him. I hope you guys can find peace in the middle of everything. I just don't have the words.

Do you ladies have appetites? Food has been such a struggle for me. I'm pretty sure I'm not eating enough but after so many months on the LE diet snacking just isn't still my thing. My doctor recommended eating several small meals throughout the day but I'm lucky if I eat two. I'm trying to eat healthy, but if I eat too much I get nauseous and a stomach ache. I am struggling to find a good balance but I want to be sure me and the baby are getting enough nutrition.

Okay ladies. I am done with team green!!! We had a talk last night and from analyzing the way the sonographer responded, I am 99% sure it’s another boy for us. So we scheduled a private scan and are taking the whole gang to see the gender and have a better ultrasound experience. Really, they are the worst photos I’ve ever seen. So thankful for a healthy bean. I’d like to see those fists open up a bit. But there were no other major red flags. Ugh ladies. I just know if we don’t do this, I will drive myself batty. So it’s time to rip off the bandaid. I’m preparing myself to hear and see boy. All boy. But oh how I would love to be wrong.

I think that's a great decision, Hannah! I would most definitely have to know if I got a scan like that. It seriously was 50/50, which doesn't seem to be a common occurrence at the gestation. When is your private scan?

I’ve got the opposite problem, my appetite (and waistline) are huge!! As long as you’re getting your prenatal down that’s a win according to my doctor (albeit, I’m pretty sure I couldn’t keep one down with DS and he turned out awesome). I think your body will take what it needs from you to provide to the baby, which may lead to your health declining but keep LO growing. Small meals are helpful, and for snacking I found that Cheerios, saltines and popcorn worked well. I worked my way up to pastiries as the weeks went on... so sorry you ladies are struggling! I have my mornings but much better relatively speaking.

Pretty, when did you start not feeling so crappy? I'm 13 weeks right now and I swear this pregnancy is dragging due to everything I'm dealing with.

I was sick from about 7-8 weeks until about 15-16, not nearly as bad as DS, as I was sick the entire pregnancy with him, but at this point I am confident I have been “sick” on the side of every road in town! Pregnancy is rough!

[Pretty]

Also, with DS it was constant vomiting, this time I only puked a few times (less than a dozen) but was extremely nauseous 24/7

Oh ladies. This pregnancy is hard. Im 39 and struggling. My body aches, seriously awful heartburn and no food sounds good. And to top it off, I had sugar in my urine so I’ve been checking my numbers. Looks like I have an insulin pregnancy ahead of me. Boo. And now an anterior placenta. I SO want a natural and I medicated birth with this one. I feel like the odds of that not happening are quickly adding up.

Tomorrow at 330. So I don’t need to wait long. I’m excited. I think having everyone there will help with the excitement! Yeah. I feel like it’s usually 100% with most scans. Hoping this one is perfectly clear for us.
