Babies due in JUNE!

[sadie]

I eat 7 prunes a day! Theyre delish!

afm, i had crappy dreams last night too, and then a really weird one. I had a dream that i got pregnant while i was ready pregnant so i had 4 babies growing, rather than just 2!

 

[sadie]

I love how I am eating so healthy, now that I'm pregnant!

Dinner frittata (eggs with potatoes, onions, cheese baked in the oven) and homemade pea soup!

Anyone have any healthy food suggestions that don't include chicken?

chicken. sick.

Used to be a staple in my diet but as of 4 days ago, I can't even have it in the house. Turkey makes me nauseous as well. Eggs too.

I think turkey will make me want to vom, as well!

And it has such a bad smell to begin with.

Sunshine...lol, it's only just begun But on the plus side, sometimes things change especially trimester to trimester. I generally say it's best to go with what your body's telling you to eat, but ummmm, your list...yikes. lol.

What pre-natal are you doing? A lot of times, when you crave, it's because you're missing something in your diet/supplements. I think chocolate was an indicator for low magnesium in the system. Here's some helpful articles: and https://10thingstoconsiderforweightlossmainta.blogspot.com/2011/01/cravings-what-todo-about-your-chocolate.htm & https://dietitian-online.com/images/pdf/article_cravings.pdf . I'm sure all the carbs and low other items is making you feel sluggish. Try to intake a little more fiber to help flush that out of your system. You can mix metamucil in your soda or tea if you can't do the foods with it.

What do you mean what prenatal am I doing? Do you mean vitamins and stuff? Im not taking anything but Folic Acid. Doctor said I didnt need to. Thanks for the link. Ill check it out. x

 

[StarSign]

Yup...what pre-natal vitamin is what I was asking. So, wow, really- dr. said only folic acid? I guess technically dr. is right about folic being the most critical, but I'd ask what general ones are recommended if you opt to take them or just get some at your grocer. Besides, a lot of times you get such nice hair and nails from them.

After reading this post, I went out and bought a package of prunes. They are delish!

 

[sadie]

I take prenate essential and have been since before getting prego. If youre not eating so well atm, you should inquire about vitamins. Theyre so important.

 

[Sunshine12]

Thanks folks. Ill speak to the midwife next week but doctor definately said I neednt bother taking anything else. I asked about Pregnacare and he said I could take it if I wanted to but was entirely up to me but definately not essential. Ive never been one to eat fruit and avoid chocolate so Im kind of just eating the same stuff as I always have. Was being really good for first few weeks but I really hate fruit so I gradually stopped eating it. Ive always been a chocaholic. x

I'm 8 weeks and 1 day today and due on June 3rd. I'll be 38 when I deliver and this will be my fourth child...(hopefully) and fifth pregnancy!!!

I've been super nervous but I'm hanging in there! Congrats to everyone with their BFP's!!!!

 

[Rashaa]

HI Gals,

It's been almost two weeks since m/c, I'm doing much better (emotionally and physically)....gearing up for my fibroid surgery on nov 17th [please say a prayer for me].

I wanted to jump in and see how everyone is doing! and how you are growing I living vicariously through you all but in a few months' time, after things settle down, we'll be back on the wagon..

I have to admit, when they say you are fertile after m/c they are dead on..I have had o pains and EWCM already...just two weeks after everything [funny how the body bounces back].. we are protecting so that I can have the surgery though...

Just sending love and hugs and will pop in again later.

:wave:

Hello mommylam! Congratulations! How exciting! Have you told your other kids yet? How many boys/girls?

Welcome. It's good to meet you! H&H 9!

Hello Rashaa! I will be thinking of you on the 17th! I hope it all goes well and that you can take advantage of that EWCM asap. How long did the doctor say you would need to wait TTC after the surgery?

 

[HStein]

I am SSSOOO hungry! LOL I keep waiting for morning sickness to kick in, as I was very sick with my prior pregnancies...but I don't feel the slightest bit nauseous thus far...you gals saying chicken made you sick actually gave me cravings and I'm waiting for a big pan of chicken enchiladas to finish in the oven. I've been eating everything in sight and am afraid I may end of being a heiffer before I even hit the second trimester!

 

[Ellie Bellie]

I'm afraid of ms kicking in with week 6, so I decided to make the most of week 5 today! Lunch at Don Pablo's with DH. Finishing the tub of Ben and Jerry's Chubby Hubby (Overweight Lifemate, anyone?). Dinner of pizza and bread sticks delivered by Papa John's. I don't think there's room for another bite in there, but I bet I'll try to fit a little more in there before bed. After all, there's Halloween candy in the kitchen!

 

[sadie]

Rashaa Hi hon! Glad to see you and hear that you're feeling a lot better. Its great that your body has bounced back so well. and I will be thinking of you for the 17th.

Mommy Welcome to the club!

hstein and Ellie so far, no ms for me either and I hope it never starts, tho every now and then I feel the tiniest wave of wooziness, but i think thats all in my head!

Ellie I have a papa john's on the next corner and have wanted a thin crust pizza for so long so i picked one up tonight. sadly, it was a big disappointment. i barely ate 2 slices. I froze the remaining slices in case I am ever desperate! However, I also ate hummus with raw carrots and broccoli, and some fresh cooked spinach!

Ferne Prunes are definitely underrated. TThey're no longer for the old folks! On my container there's a website address... Www.pop-a-prune.com

starsign and sunshine!

Sunshine- I forgot to mention this, but did you know that too much caffeine (like green tea, chocolate, soda, etc.) negates/lessens absorption of folic acid? See these articles.

:wave: Sadie for eating prunes. I at those.

Rashaa. I really was so elated to see your BFP and even more to see it didn't work out. Your encouragement and support is really appreciated. I have 2 friends who are trying to conceive with fibroids of some type. But, I know you'll be back soon over here after their removal.

:wave: June Ladies

 

[Ellie Bellie]

Sadie - Papa John's is often a disappointment, but it's what we've got. After living in New York for many years, I must admit I've got high standards. I had 3 slices of a small pizza along with some bread sticks. All the leftovers are in the freezer, on-hand for a future craving.

Right now, my stomach is so full I can look down and say "oh, so this is what I'll look like in a few months!" Only it'll be Baby instead of Papa!

Yes, thanks Starsign. Im only drinking decaf tea and caffeine free diet coke. Obviously the chocolate will increase my caffeine but I think its still below the 200 mcg recommended level. Thanks v. much for the links. x

Welcome. It's good to meet you! H&H 9!

Not really sure how to do this but I'm trying. Anyhow, I have 3 sons and they are ages 11, 9 and 4. I have told them about the pregnancy. I'm terrible about keeping secrets from anyone really and I was so excited. I have struggled with whether or not that was the right choice but I know for me it was.

Nice to meet you too!!!!
