(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[AJCart]

How's everyone and their food cravings as of now I crave spaghetti garlic bread and cheese tacos and cheese pizza lol

I actually craved baked potatoes with cheese today and had to make some Other than that I haven't been craving a whole lot.

A baked potato sounds amazing right now!! My food cravings have been completely strange. I only get nauseous after I eat a lot of carbs or sugar (and I'm a chubby girl so I like sweets lol). It seems like I crave something though and then after I eat it I don't ever want to eat it again.

To the bolded, thank god it isn't just me!! All I wanted the other day was a toasted cheese and tomato sandwich. Made it, it smelled amazing, ate it, wasn't impressed. Happens with pretty much everything!

No real cravings, I just feel really uncomfortable after eating, like I'm about to burst. My OH does a massive burp when he feels like that and he instantly feels better... I wish I could burp on command

No real MS to speak of, but I feel nauseous if I don't eat within an hour of waking up. It's hard when you have nappies to change and kids to feed and dress; sometimes I have to feed myself first LOL.

i dont have any cravings yet!
i'm starting to feel better, i have been exhausted but i feel just tired now, maybe i've got used to the feeling!!
have my first scan on 21st may!
i'm really hoping for a girl, but after my mmc i'm happy either way.
i see a lot of you ladies have already had early scans for various reasons, when is everyone '12 week' ish scan booked for?
exciting

 

[Hoping girl 2]

I'm like you, Lara! No cravings or ms really, unless one of my meals are late, then I feel really shaky and sick until about 5 mins after i eat... My boobs are huge though!!!

Congrats on your scans, can't wait for my early one on the 16th!!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

No cravings here, either. It was pizza, but then I ate too much of it.

 

[ready2Bmum]

I was craving pizza too! but I think ive over done it now. Ive m/s on and off. some days its awful, other days its fine. Im trying ginger capsules, same thing again, some days they work some days they don't. Theres no constant.

You know the thing we have in our signature "our families are growing two feet in December" ? what is that thing called? and how can I make one? Id like to make one for my facebook announcement in a few weeks.

It was a picture I took of some baby booties then added the text in a picture editing program. Someone else made it look Christmasy with the snow.

I think I had an hour of sleep last night?!?

My stomach was bothering me, not queasy, more like girgly and gassy. I also woke up like 10 times for no reason at all...

Will need a nap when I get home for sure!! I wanted to call out sick this morning so bad, but I actually didn't want to sleep anymore since I was so frustrated from last night.

 

[Lara310809]

Ill be 12 weeks in the last week of the month, but they go by LMP here so I guess they'll try to give me a scan the week before that; I haven't been told a date yet though. I'm off to Portugal at the end of the month, so hopefully I get a scan before we go, instead of having to wait until after, when I'd be almost 14 weeks

One good thing about this pregnancy is that I'm going off coke! Coke is my obsession; I drink too much of it, and just about stick to the daily maximum in pregnancy. But this time around I just don't fancy it. I have to drink at least one a day because otherwise I get caffeine withdrawal migraines, but other than that I'm not into it at all. I like milk and water at the moment. I hope it continues because I've been trying to kick the coke for years without success

ready to be mom...most people call them banners or sigs (signatures)....you can do it in a paint program, an online photo editing program...or just about with any other photo program like if you have adobe photo or paintshop pro or anything

 

[brit3435]

I'm the same way I think something sounds good and then after I eat it I never want it again! I too craved pizza at first but I ate it 3 nights in a row and now can't stand the thought of it

Has anyone started gaining any weight yet? With dd I had already gained 6 lbs by now but I've actually lost a couple of pounds so far.

 

[SugarBeth]

My cravings change constantly, but mostly every pregnancy is the same - first tri, I want fast food all the time. I only got it once so far, but I want it all the time! I'm also craving meat - steak, hamburgers, cheese steaks, etc.

Ready2BeaMom - I modified the picture in the signature with the snow flakes and banner and such in Picmonkey.com. It's how I do all of my photo editing pics.

Brit - I've gained 6 lbs in the last 4 weeks! I'm gaining more than a pound each week already, but I started out underweight and I'm breastfeeding so my body is really making up for it now.

Only three days until my ultrasound to find out how things are progressing! So anxious!

 

[DrGomps]

sorry I haven't been on much...I was in the hamptons for the weekend....

I have been craving meat, protein and more meat. I have also gained some weight...trying not to get too worked up about it though...

my scan is in 4 days...AH!! I just want to know all is ok...though my MS and symptoms are reassuring...

I will have my 12 week scan date after I have my next OB appt in the beginning of june...I can't wait...the 12 week scan is SO neat!

 

[Kaiecee]

Does anyone else feel super bloated I look like I'm 5 months pregnant lol

 

[brit3435]

I'm really bloated at at night I look like I have a bump but when I wake up in the morning it's gone and I don't look pregnant at all

 

[sobroody]

i've lost half a pound ! hehe.. happy though as by this point with my son i'd put on almost a stone!! but i weigh more than that now so im trying to just maintain this weight rather than gain.. i did put on 5 stone with him and have the stretch marks to prove it!! i took the phrase 'eating for two' quite literally !

 

[AmaryllisRed]

My son broke our scale, so I literally have no idea what I weigh!! Pants aren't tight, so that's good.
But I'm suuuuuper bloated, to the point where people keep saying I have a bump already. Um, my baby is the size of what, a raspberry or something? So, yeah. No bump yet.
I really do look about 6 months along by nighttime, though.

 

[Hoping girl 2]

I know what you mean! In the morning I'm ok, just a little bit bloated ad feeling 'flabby' be side of water retention, but by nighttime I'm huge!! I'm thinking baby is size of an Appleseed... By the time it's fully grown my belly will be unbelievably big!!

 

[threegirls]

I'm glad I'm not alone I thought I was crazy with the cravings and then not wanting it again. It is so weird. The other night I wanted steak taco's that my husband makes, ate them and then told him I never want one again lol. It was really good but afterwards I thought ewww I can't believe I ate that

I am extremely bloated. (tmi warning) I have some extra skin on my stomach from being pregnant with twins and I feel like such a hippo lol My jeans are snug just in the tummy area and I'm having to unbutton my pants I'd almost rather be showing the pregnancy maybe then I wouldn't feel so huge.

My 12 week mark will fall in June. I have my first scan on May 28th and I should be around 10 weeks or so then....can't wait!!
