Anyone due June 2014, really need buddies!

[SweetMel]

My husband looks at me and says I look so tired. I replied with a thanks. He doesn't understand why I would be tired. He's confused. He thinks I didn't sleep well or something. I told him that I slept just fine.

Anyone here super hungry all the time? I am somewhat nauseous but mostly just ravenously hungry... Arrgh, I promised to myself that I would not put on too much weight with this pregnancy.

 

[gertrude]

Yep constantly, and craving carbs like there is no tomorrow. I was doing weightwatchers when I fell pregnant and stopping it has been hard enough but to be constantly eating is making it harder. I am assuming I'm craving carbs for a reason, also fruit and salad (which is what happened last time too) but I too am quite worried about weight gain.

The things I really don't fancy are actual meals. The idea of something like a spaghetti Bol now makes me feel really blurgh

Hope things settle down soon! Last time this happened, then around 13 ekes all I wanted was fruit so the weight calmed down again.

I was 6 weeks yesterday, don't see my dr until I'm nearly 8, seems a long way away! I stayed at my MILs the last two nights and cos I wasn't drinking her first response was are you pregnant, but we managed to convince her it was because I was ill (which I am) and it was a bloody school night!!!! Makes me wonder how much she thinks we actually drink? I never drink mid week?!!!!!!!

Haha! I have already had to do pretending - getting a glass of white wine and then pretending to sip - so far nobody has asked yet. Especially with work colleagues - and so many of our events are boozy - don't want anyone to know. I was also just getting tonic water and pretending it to be gin and tonic but it's hard at a sit-down dinner where they serve wine.

I didn't have too much weight gain until third tri last time... But then I ballooned Never really lost the last 5-8 lbs. Got to keep it under control this time.

Hi Ladies,

I am jumping in to join you. It is so great to hear all of these stories from women my age. I am 39 and expecting my first and I am SOOO excited

I too have recently started feeling ravenously hungry just in the last few days, it's driving me crazy. I am a little worried about piling on the pounds at my age cause I know my skin isn't as elastic as it once was, ha ha.

I am due on June 12th which was my late dad's Birthday, I hope my little munchkin stays on schedule.

 

[Driving280]

So great to see all of you here... My first dr. appt is on Monday. I hope they do an ultrasound... I am just super nervous and it would be so great to see a heartbeat...

 

[gertrude]

My dr appt isn't until a week on Tuesday. I'm so tired this is ridiculous, and so woozy. I've come to bed already after a stressful day. I need to learn two year olds can't do four things in a day and not lose the plot

 

[Driving280]

Gertrude, I know what you mean! I don't remember being so tired with my son, but now I go to bed at 9:30! Keep your fingers crossed for me for tomorrow please... Hope I will still be on this board...

 

[gertrude]

Whereabouts are you driving? I won't get a scan until 12weeks ish. It's why I'm holding back seeing the Dr this time, nothing happens for so long I may as well wait. Whatever will be will be after all

Good luck tomorrow x

 

[Driving280]

Gertrude, in the US, NYC area. I am AMA, so usually an early ultrasound and blood tests are common, definitely not later than 8 weeks. The standard is to have CVS as well so that happens around 11-12 weeks and they definitely scan you before.

 

[SweetMel]

Oh yeah. I'm constantly hungry and THIRSTY! I also seem to get full really quickly so snacking is better.

I have a doctor's appointment on Tuesday. I'm also hoping they will do a scan but if not, I hope to at least hear the hb. I will breathe a big sigh of relief when they confirm that there is only one in there. I have this fear that I'm having twins.

 

[Driving280]

Me too, Sweetmel. I actually have a uterine condition that means having twins is very problematic so I really, really hope it is not twins.

 

[gertrude]

God don't even mention the t word. If that happens to us I have absolutely NO idea how we can financially cope

 

[Driving280]

So, had bloodwork and a scan today. Will get bloodwork results tomorrow, but they saw a sack and something in it, all measuring right for 5 weeks 6 days. Too hearly for a heartbeat, but I have another scan next week. Guardedly optimistic...

And yes, Gertrude, the fact that there is just one sac makes me super happy too

 

[NandO1]

Great news driving. Im sure the other sac was behind the first, lol. xx

 

[SweetMel]

That's great news Driving.

 

[gertrude]

NandO1 can you please change your name because you're making me want nandos every time you post

 

[gertrude]

Great news driving!!

 

[NandO1]

Haha gertrude, Ironically i have never had a nandos in my life. The n is my daughters initial and the o is my ds1 initial so its n and o. I could always add an f for ds2 and be nandof! Lol. x

 

[SweetMel]

My Dr appointment today was disappointing. I didn't get a scan. I didn't get to hear the hb. I did give a lot of blood and some urine. She said I am doing well and we talked about my age. So . . . Since I'm old, I get to see another Dr. What kind of Dr delivers babies from women of advanced maternal age?
