I found I was overeating on a morning but since I switched my breakfast to something more substantial it's not such a problem. I'm planning on getting most things second hand too, save a fortune for when we need it lol.

I have some bad news. HCG was 472 at 5 weeks 2 days. It was 424 three days ago. I am just waiting to start bleeding.

 

[charlie00134]

have you spoken to your doctor? I'm sorry I don't know anything about hcg levels so I can only offer an internet hug

idk about everyone else but im only 5 weeks almost 6 soon and ive been eating like a FAT COW! All this eating is making my stomach even bigger and since im trying to hide it until the longest I can (DF and my decision) im not sure next month no one will notice I look so bloated!! I eat and eat and eat!! Every 30 min to an hour I have to have something to eat! In the past 4 hours I had a chicken, avocado and spinach wrap (I know sounds weird but so good), 2 chicken, avocado and spinach salads, 3 natural fruit strips and a few dried apricots... like I cant stop!! I feel like im huge... and im very conscious with what I ate before I got pregnant so this has been getting to me but I am always hungry and feel like im never going to be full. I have been eating small portions as to help.

I also just got a weird pulling sensation on my right side and on my left just a weird feeling as well... anyone having anything like this??

Hi, I am exactly the same eating loads! Don't sweat it though, sounds like you are eating healthy stuff and I have eaten loads through all my pregnancies and ended up at my pre pregnancy size so we must need all that food for the hungry beans growing inside us!

Admittedly it doesn't help the bloat but loose fitting clothes are the way forwards

Quisty, I am so sorry to hear this. I don't know much about HCG numbers either but is a drop always a sign of impending miscarriage or could it just be a temporary dip?

Sending you big

 

[Angelmarie]

Nooo I've been eating much less than usual as I'm just not hungry. Great. Bad sign? Or just me being typically awkward again?!

@ Quisty- these HCG numbers have me confused too. It's stil rising so you're not out. Try to stay positive. What has your doc said?

 

[charlie00134]

my appetite has dropped today but I'm not devastated. I've already gained about 3lb

 

[Ellberry]

Angelmarie, I have also lost my appertite, I'm eating probably half what I used to et and gone off all chocolate/sweets/cakes....which is very very strange for me, I was addicted before!!! I'm hoping it's not a bad sign!!!!

Quisty I also don't know anything about number stec but I hope it works out well for you xx

 

[bloominbroody]

I've cracked a picked up a bottle of Pepsi max i feel like crap though with this head cold so one bottle won't hurt.

With the eating my appetite is pretty non existent at the minute. I eat simply cos i know i have to & if my youngest saw i wasn't eating he would copy as he's at that age of doing what others do.
Not going for a run today, i think i may quite running til I've had a scan in January & this cold has gone for good.
I feel like a moaner today sorry ladies x

So I went to the doctor yesterday and she just took a urine pregnancy test, saw two lines and I dont know on what basis she prescribed me gestin ans vaginal pessary along with 5 mg folic acid. This has now got me worried. Is something wrong with me? And she has also asked me to come for an early ultrasound at 5 weeks. Why? She wouldn't be able to hear the heartbeat as per the internet.

 

[bloominbroody]

Fairy maybe she just wants to check everything is ok & ur dates r right.
If there was something to worry about im sure she would have said something hun.
Try not to worry, i know its easier said than done x

Been looking at cribs and baby furniture online. I'm wondering if I can convice DH that $450 is a good price for a crib, which can be a toddler bed and convert into a full sized bed as well.

Wow! over here we get beds like that at half the price of that!

I always get my prenatals and my folic acid... Its great for the baby! Idk what gestin ans vaginal pessary is tho? Your too early along I don't think the heart beat starts beating until 5/6 weeks... I saw ur ticker and it says so far the baby is a ball of cells. Give it a while and be happy ur one of the lucky ones to get a U/S so early,...

 

[mommy247]

don't have time to write back to everyone here per having to get my DS and myself dressed. Got to go to work and he has to go to his grandmothers... hope u all have a good day. I will respond to all soon!

**took a bfp this morning and my lil baby is still in there! Hope the line was darker than the one I took a few days ago **

This bed is from a higher end store we have here called Nebraska Furniture Mart. I like it because it is made of real wood with a finish and not fake stuff. I am mainly researching online so DH and I can haggle better at consignment stores and Craigslist. I am so in love with the crib though.

Did the doctor say you should worry? How do they know they won't start doubling in the next couple of days? They're still increasing. I've heard of many people who start off slow and then end up fine. FX!
