I've only had one vivid dream so far. Last night I dreamed that I was at Disney World with my daughter - sounds like it should be a good dream, right? But we went to get dinner at a restaurant where we had reservations, and they told us they couldn't seat us until 9:30 at night! I was trying to tell them that my daughter was only 4 and couldn't wait until 9:30 for dinner, but they just wouldn't listen. I was so angry and frustrated.

I'm having some nausea after I eat now, but it doesn't seem to last very long. I have to pee a lot, and by mid afternoon I feel like taking a nap every day. My husband took my daughter swimming at the lake. It's a beautiful, warm day for it and I wish I had the energy, but I was just too tired to go, so I stayed home to take a nap instead.

I know, it's scary how precise our dreams can be. DH really annoyed me in my dream last night and it took me a good few minutes when I woke up to realise I wasn't actually in a bad mood with him

We went out shopping today to a mall that's over an hour away from our house. We stopped for a coffee and we're talking quite openly about me being preggo. As I stood up to walk away I realised one of my work colleague's was sitting at the table right beside me! What are the chances?! I'm now worried he may have heard and keep trying to play back our conversation in my head

I'm six weeks today and remember serious MS kicking in from around 7 weeks last time. Hoping I miss it this time but determined to enjoy food as much as I can these next few days just in case

Hope you're all doing great

Welcome mummy_smurf2b!

Loozle, I am broken out with giant, puss-filled, cystic acne - actually not as bad as I'm making it sound, but I had two painful giant zits on my forehead last week, and today I have two giant spots on my chin. This is in addition to all the small red ones all over my neck, chest, and back... so yeah, hormones huh...

 

[NHKate]

I've heard that women who are pregnant with boys get worse acne during pregnancy. Something about the male hormones circulating in our system makes us break out (like pubescent boys, LOL).

 

[MrsKChicago]

I've heard the opposite, that it's all the extra estrogen from girls Also, girls steal your beauty and the acne is a factor in that. The old wives tales are so fun.

Excited to see our tickers progressing!

I know! I was so excited to wake up this morning to a sweet pea! I can't wait to be a blueberry next week!

Welcome to the few new Momma's that have joined our group!

I had a not too bad day today. I'm pretty tired, but thankfully not as tired as I have been the last few days. I was able to eat quite a bit today, however this afternoon I caught a whiff of bread, and almost threw up! It was hard to hide too, as I was standing right in front of MIL at the time, and we are not telling anyone yet! When she asked what was wrong, I lied and said that a fly flew into my mouth. We were at the cottage, with lots of flies around, so I think she bought it.!

 

[MrsKChicago]

I'll be a sweet pea on Wednesday. They're growing so fast!

OMG I'm going to be one on Friday! It's so amazingly exciting, though I feel time is moving at a snail's pace.


How are you ladies staying motivated to do certain activities? Sorry, that was vague. I'm in my last 3 classes of a postgrad degree, and I have had ZERO motivation since my BFP to do any work. I have some reports due in the next 3 days, and have no idea how I will focus. Me and SO just moved too, so I've been setting up house a bit, and then am too exhausted to do anything else... I was never a coffee-drinker anyhow, so it's not the caffeine thing, and I know growing a human is exhausting, but I am not even motivated to do the work...

Girl, I feel ya! I own my own part-time business & I have not been motivated to get my orders done. My motivation is GONE! All I wanna do is google & dream about baby stuff! Plus the fatigue doesn't help!

Now if only I could eat the salad I made this evening, put it all together & now I'm nauseated.

Hi Ladies, sorry i don't post much, It seems most of the chatter happens while I am asleep one of the downsides to living in Oz.

I got my first lot of bloods back from last Thursday I was 4w0d.
HCG 88
Progesterone 234

My progesterone is right at the top of the normal level for first trimester 36 - 286. Have any of you got high progesterone levels? I was meant to start progesterone pessaries this week but now I am not sure if I should or not?! It doesn't help my OB is away till next week!
I got more bloods done today to check that my HCG is doubling like it should but I wont get those results till Wednesday.

Hey welcome and post as you can! Your hcg sounds okay, as we all know the doubling time is the most important. The wait is the worst but fingers crossed for good levels!
Sorry to say I have no idea about the progesterone, but there are many ladies here who should be able to help you.

Still no nausea for me, but I am having horrible pregnancy brain! Forgetting words I should know, and the other day forgot SO's phone number, and my home number... Anyone else feel like they've dropped twenty IQ points?

Not a full 20, but at least a few I'm blaming not getting quality sleep.

Foxycleopatra, is there a nurseline or something you can call? It seems odd to add progesterone if it's already high.

Completely - I have a memory like a sieve and forgetting loads of words - feel so dumb hopefully it'll pass didn't realise how bad it would be.

I have a key card for work and was frantically looking for it to then realise I had already put it round my neck. Forget to give my dog breakfast the other day - he was not impressed when I went home for lunch!!

 

[MrsKChicago]

I keep forgetting my prenatal, of all things. I've been taking them for close to a year now, but I started taking them in the morning instead of before bed because I added a b50 complex, and I usually remember around 5pm

Yes! Completely! I've been forgetting client appointments, getting up to check something in my laptop and then immediately forgetting what I was checking...
