Lexi SAME! Totally off meat. I went to a bbq the other day and it smelled good, but then when I bit into the burger I almost puked! The thought of eating meat makes me so sick. My husband just went out to get me a bean burrito from Taco Bell. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to stomach it, but I’m so hungry!! I wish I could find something this baby lets me eat.

Is everyone else here from the US? It’s so alien to me so many people are having early scans! In the UK the earliest we get is 12 weeks

I’m in the uk, only just has midwife appointment last week and don’t have the date through for my 12 week scan yet, I’m 9 weeks. Had a scan at 6 weeks due to bleeding and pain but that’s not a routine though. Sucks we have to wait until 12 in Australia they get one at 7 then one at 12 x

Nova sounds familiar i've been craving ribs since Friday, my MIL was planning to make them for Father's Day. So we had a bug cook out and i grabbed two enormous ribs. Took one bite and was instantly off of them i pushed them on to hubby's plate hahaha

I agree fuzzy, the wait is so long! In the states especially I don't see why they wouldn't offer an optional early scan, I mean we pay for it anyway so why not? I giess I see with NHS how they may want to not have "unnecessary" extra scans...I guess ultimately it wouldn't make a difference however if something is wrong, for example a mmc, i'd hate to go in a 12 weeks to find out baby passed at 8 and there was 4 weeks wasted, if that makes sense?

I'm still diligently trying to find baby's hb with the doppler but no luck so far still so early though. Maybe in a few days; I hear a lot of ladies find it in the 8th week.

Hi girls!
Scan went well, everything’s fine! Still a bit shocked to be honest, it hasn’t fully sunk in. Also, I’m two days ahead at 11w 0d. So my new DD is 7th January!

Here’s our scan & the announcement!

I'm also in the UK but my last pregnancy was an ectopic so able to get early scan to make sure it wasn't reoccurring. So got one at 5and4 and didn't see mich so went back at 6and4 and found 2 heartbeats. I wouldn have to wait til 12 now but I booked a private early scan for today at 10weeks as I've been obsessing over vanishing twin syndrome!..

ER and Kiwi I hope your both feeling better soon!

Amazing scan em! It's so relieving isn't it!

As said above I had another scan today as I've been all over 5he place this past couple weeks unable to accept it's twins. But both babies are thriving and bang on measuring 10 weeks today with heartbeats of 165 and 173.so relieved! Will try to attach a pic. Baby A wasn't playing ball with pics so only bought the extra of baby B as it has the cutest little nose haha!!

Gigglebox, I still can’t find the baby’s heartbeat and I’m approaching 10 weeks. It makes me concerned because I’ve been so sick.

 

[Emsabub]

Thank you lexi! That makes sense, if you’ve had something happen before you definitely need that reassurance things are going okay the next time. It’s so cute how you name them Baby A & B though! I’m glad everything’s going well!

Er I’m 11 weeks and can’t hear a thing myself! I stopped doing it though for fear of stressing myself, we shouldn’t have started in the first place should we aha!

 

[gigglebox]

Ers sick in early pregnancy is a good thing though right? I'm sure we're both fine. That baby is smalle and in a big uterus and we have no idea where to began trying to pin point a heart beat...the. I also learned sometimes if you have the doppler in the right spot but not the right angle you can miss it! Well that is an infinite amount of places and positions! No wonder it's difficult to find. I've read it's nost common to find it at home at 12 weeks, and that probably after moms have had ultrasounds and know where bub is positioned.

Ems & lexis, beautiful scans! Ugh no scan for mw until next Thursday and I'm getting impatient! Might have to price out a private scan...

 

[NovaStar]

Ersu and Emsa- my doctors said it’s normal to not hear the heartbeat until AFTER 12 weeks. I have an appointment at 11 weeks and they said they *might* be able to hear it. Weird because with my daughter, I heard the heartbeat at 8 weeks. At least I think I did? Maybe I was mistaken. But, don’t be discouraged. Also, with my daughter she was up front and center. She was easy to find on a regular ultrasound. This time my little cutie can only be seen with transvaginal because he or she is so far back in my uterus. So don’t despair. Yours could be buried comfortably like mine. Waaay back. Nestled in the far corner.

 

[Jingles23]

So fun Lexi!

Hope you get into the dentist soon Kiwi!

I had my ultrasound on friday. One healthy baby. Measuring a few days earlier than I thought but all looks good. We had so much fun telling the kids and they are super excited. My youngest and my nephew are 3 weeks apart and turning 1 so we hosted a big combined party this weekend. It was so cute! And we were able to tell extended family. It was really special because all the grandparents and great grandparents were able to make it!!!! I'm just feeling really happy because we've only had positive reactions. I was really nervous because this is #5 and some people think that is crazy these days...

 

[mwel8819]

Yay for all the good news and great scans!

Giggle-You have to press down hard and the baby should be right in the middle about three, maybe four fingers below your belly button right now. Watch some of the youtube videos on how to if you haven't already. They helped me the first time. I haven't tried to find it with this one yet. I can't find my doppler anywhere and no one will own up to borrowing it. Ugh! I don't want to buy another.


Definitely hating meat right now, at least pork and beef. I'm good with chicken and bbq chicken...it's weird. Still loving sauces, bbq, ranch...anything really. And bland crackers and fries sound good. Also still LOVING fruit. I ate grapes, a peach and an apple yesterday. lol!

 

[mwel8819]

oooo I have a new question...what is everyone liking to wear right now. For me it is leggings all day every day! I totally can see a bump now. Right at 8 weeks it started and I'm 8w and a four days today. The first pic is of me a few weeks before I found out I was pregnant. I had been losing weight and doing so good. lol!

 

[W8tingforbaby]

I am loving my maternity clothes lol. They are stretchy and comfy, not looking forward to wearing Work clothes tonight lol this break from Work was nice and relaxing and the bloat has been insane, I’m only 8 weeks 4 days or so also and feel like I look 6 months lol. Gotta love pregnancy after already having one, things seem to pop out quicker

 

[Jingles23]

Haha, we had to start telling people because I literally popped out as soon as I tested. I'm totally into mat clothes and can't hide it.

 

[gigglebox]

Mwel I'll give it another go tomorrow . Cute starter bump!

Jingles that's great you've had such a positive reaction! I told my bestie this weekend and immediately got "what??! Already?! Was it planned?!" Basically in the same breath lol (my youngest is 13 months).

Regarding clothes I'm still in my regular garb. I was super bloated initially but not now. I was sure , since it's only been a year between pregnancies and this is my third, that I'd be showing super early but so far i think it's well concealed. If I wasn't symptomatic i might be worried about it...but symptoms are going strong!

Jingles sorry if you've already said but was this pregnancy a ntnp? Or a total shock?

 

[bbbbbbb811]

All these cute scans, I'm so jealous! I wish I could have one now, I'm very nervous but excited for my 12 week scan.
I'm just having similar symptoms that I'm off meat, I've been dreaming of chicken fajitas, with soured cream, salsa, cheese the lot.. finally made one today and now I'm sat here feeling nauseous.
As for clothes, mainly pyjamas or if I have to get dressed, leggings, hoodies, jumpers!

 

[mwel8819]

Good morning ladies! I found my doppler yesterday and the heartbeat! I'm almost 100% positive. Sounded like it and it registered at 157! I know there isn't anything else that is that fast in your belly. BTW there is your placenta that runs about 135...don't mistake that for the heartbeat...also your heartbeat at 120.

Giggle- What symptoms you got going on?

BBB- Soon enough you will have that pic! It's such a long wait though. I'm the same way with cravings...want it so bad. Get it. Get sick. Ugh!

w8ting-I'm jealous that you have lots of Mat clothes. I barely bought any during my first. I just wore leggings and bigger shirts. I had a few pair of mat jeans.

 

[gigglebox]

Definitely investing in more yoga pants this time, like the loose ones. I got them pp last time but wish i had them for the in between bloat & bump stage lol

Symptoms...hair falling out still like crazy. I feel like it might be slowing down a little but it's hard to say.
Frequently peeing, especially at night.
Food aversions, also cravings. I CANNOT STAND the smell of plain cooked chicken!
Nausea
And today I was hit with fatigue BAAAAD. Omg it was such a struggle taking ds1 to school.

OMG yes! Driving to work every morning is awful! Today's nausea and last night's have been brutal. The day before I had nothing. It's crazy. I get used to it coming at a certain time each day and then it changes. I HATE all food today. Nothing sounds the least bit appealing.

 

[bbbbbbb811]

Gigglebox, I have yoga pants and they are the best. So comfortable!
I'm not actually sick, and my nausea isn't as bad as it was but I feel off and certain things make me feel worse. But fatigue has been my worst symptom this time, I'm normally once I'm up, I'm up person awake from 7/8am - 11/midnight and fine. But I'm struggling to wake up, plus napping every day, it's so hard.
