It's going ok today... just started 11th week today and my MS isn't to bad today...yet! But from 5w6d til now it's been pretty tough with the morning sickness and working fulltime. Hubby keeps joking with me asking how long I want to wait til baby #2 and I tell him we might only have 1 LOL but then again once MS is a thing of the past and I forget how miserable it is I am sure I'll be more excited to think of the possibility of a 2nd... I am also have pretty vivid dreams mostly good and crack me up but a couple have been awful nightmares! I can usually figure out why I had a dream it's usually something I watched or talked about that day...

 

[Pearly86]

Oh yeah sure fisher would luv to have you welcome !!It gives so much of reassurance that there are so many around

 

[Pearly86]

Abbey so true vivid teams a re part of pregnancy and I also get them here and there occasionally though and most of times they are worth laughing which I keep sharing with my hubby and he sure has a good laugh but some are quite scary too lol

Aww soon we are entering second trimester I am sure ms is gonna get over soon
Well luckily I haven't had any weird ms I'm on the other hand more hungry and thirsty thought but eating healthy and carefully so to not gain much weight

So when is your next doc appointment??

 

[Abbey08]

I have unfortunately not been eating healthy and can't even force myself to eat some days but whenever ANYTHING sounds good I get it and completely stopped grocery shopping so I could stop wasting $ and food in the fridge... but I have lost almost 10 lbs with the MS. Hoping it eases this week!! I do also feel the intense hunger feeling usually in the middle of the night...

My next appt is Feb. 2nd and I'll be 12w6d. The ultrasound tech does 3D on me everytime I'm there and he said last time at 8w3d that if I came back closer to 13 weeks he could tell me the sex. I was shocked but hoping he is right!! Doc told me he's really good and only a few girls have turned into boys and all his boys have been boys... so very excited for that...13 more days!!

What about you??

Hi! I'm due August 12th with my first one! I've been pretty lucky so far. I had some morning nausea from about 6 weeks-9 1/2 weeks, but it is slowly going away. I have not thrown up once, which is fantastic. Although, I have lost my appetite since 6 weeks and it seems to be nowhere in sight lol. I can barely eat my favorite food, pasta! It is really sad, but my husband is happy because he says I was going to turn into a noodle. Haha. One thing about this pregnancy that kind of stinks is that my doctor won't do an ultrasound till I'm at least 12 weeks. The first time I went to the doctors all they did was have me take a pee test and then he checked my uterus. Next Friday I have an appointment with the nurses and then they will schedule my ultrasound, but it feels like a lifetime away!

Happy and Healthy 9 months (now less, lol) to all of you ladies!

Oh that's a bummer your doc won't do an US til 12 weeks. Have you thought of going o a private clinic or just going to wait it out? Your almost there now!!

 

[Ahughes]

My husband and I want to do a private scan but I think we may wait till I'm a bit further along. His friend told him that they gave him and his wife a ton of pictures and a cute teddy bear, so now he is all excited to go there!

Yes my friend did it and got a teddy bear with the heartbeat in it. So cool!! She also paid a flat fee and got to go back 3 different times (i think once each trimester) and they paid around $150. My US place game me a ton of pics like 12 and also put them on a CD so I feel very fortunate it's covered by my insurance and he's so good.

Abbey- don't worry hun on the healthy stuff you are doing good by eating whatever you are liking which is important for you now as you have lost so much weight!! So eat all that you enjoy and anything which is not making you queasy

For me it's the other way keeping my weight as normal as I was before pregnancy cuz they way I am getting hungrier I may gain a lot welll luckily I was 120 lbs and the weight is remaining same as I have read that from second trimester we need to increase the calorie intake so making sure from all possible way that I keep my weight normal at least till the first trimester which is not that far !!

Wow your doc is really good Hun that's so nice I have my appointment on Friday 23 as my doc asked me to come once I am 10 weeks and the. One will happen in 12 weeks there they may do the Down syndrome test and also there is a new blood test which has come up which tells the sex of the baby too as early as 12 weeks so m all excited!!

This one is just routine so waiting for 12 th week

I wish I was 120 lbs! I started at 150 after losing 50 lbs (before I'd try and get pregnant) so I can very easily gain weight so thankfully I haven't yet...I was so used to a healthy diet before getting pregnant so hopefully this MS stops soon and I can get back on a balanced diet in time to add those extra calories.

Your doc mentioned the blood test to check for sex? Mine hasnt! But I read about that here so hopefully it's an option for me!! We are also doing the state testing at my next appt 12w6d. Make sure and let us know how your appt goes friday!! Very exciting!

 

[Pearly86]

Yeah sure Hun will keep you updated n ya do check out about that test it seems it's a new one here I am in nyc

And don't worry my height is just 5 lol so that why 120 is good for me but want to have a steady weight gain so that its not a problem as I am petite have to take care

 

[Abbey08]

Yes I'll definitely be asking about the blood test!! my docs have limited me to 25-30 lbs. Going to try and stick to that even with the 10 lbs loss so far. We shall see!
