Due In May :)

[cgav1424]

Starry - I know that my OB told me that once your HCG gets high enough, the doubling rate actually slows down. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Hann - thanks dear! I have another scan in 2 weeks and truth be told, I'm still a nervous wreck about the rest of first tri! Your support (and all the other lovely BNB'ers) has meant the world to me and cheers! Here's to hoping for smooth pregnancies!

Well i think i must be the only one in here who has no idea of numbers and wont get a scan until 12 weeks. however i guess sometimes ignorance is bliss as i would probably be stressing over numbers.i have my first midwife appt todat but it will be nothing more than form filling.

My first 'craving' has started, bbq chicken (the one from the chicken counter at tesco). I want it at unusual hours though so its always shut!

 

[Stevensmummyx]

I'm craving cheese, dairylea dunkers, babybels, mac and cheese, cheese triangles and blocks of cheese! Can't get enough of the stuff! Xx

 

[nearlythere38]

Lol. thats a nice healthy one. the thought of cheese makes me feel sick at the mo

 

[Hann12]

That's annoying that they didn't get back to you but I guess you have to assume it must be good news! I hope so!

Off to the dr in an hour to get anti sickness tablets, it's time!

I want stuff I shouldn't have because I am dairy intolerant, I can have little bits of dairy food but I just want it all the time now and I can't find a drink I can tolerate - I hate water, I hate juice and cordial but I love hot chocolate and too many of those makes my tummy very, very upset!

I craving cornetto/drumstick icecreams, hot chocolate, corn on the cob, cream cheese, milkshakes, chocolate and cheeseburgers from hungry jacks >.< oh and pizza from dominoes lol

 

[Blondey2012]

5 weeks today and when I woke I felt like I'd been hit by sickness! Yuck! In the 3 hours I've been awake I've not stomached a thing. I've had a pint of juice all morning and only had 2 sips out of that!

My sister is coming to stay over tonight and think I'm going to have to tell her!

 

[Hann12]

Just bak from the dr's and been given more prochloperazine and also metoclopramide. Apparently the combination should be successful. I was also told not to always drink plain water but to drink sports drinks and they'll hydrate more. Off to the shops in a bit so will give it a try.

Starry - sorry must have missed the last page with your results on, hopefully you have hit that 60%. I have to say I'm glad we don't do betas here - it would just be another thing to worry about. I'm in blissful ignorance for now!! I have a lot of hope for you xx

I'm so with you all on the food adversions and things you want more. Stodgy food is going down better for me - pizza, pasta, chips, sausages, beans etc. Of course all the stuff thats not healthy!!

 

[Starry Night]

I've craved bad things so far: sour cream and nachos along with pizza. And I've indulged them too. Sometimes I feel a little 'off' and don't want to eat much but other times I'm intensely hungry. If m/s doesn't kick in for me then I think controlling my weight gain is going to be super tough. After my m/s with my son wore off I just had to eat everything. It felt like if I didn't have a brownie I would die!! It's like a clawing, gnawing feeling inside my brain and my willpower just seems too weak to resist. But I don't want to gain 50 pounds again. It took me a year to lose it.

Why can I crave fruits and veggies???

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Ahh boo to dairy intolerence! Glad its not me tho ! Its 10.30 am and I'm off for a chinese! I'm well gonna be a fatty xx

Thanks. I think I have hit the 60% as my tests weren't done exactly 48 hours apart.

My main aversion right now is honey. I couldn't even eat a slice of honey-glazed ham the other day and the honey flavour wasn't even that strong. Well, I normally don't think the flavour is strong but this time...

And I drink sports drinks whenever I get sick with the stomach bug. It really does help when you're not getting a lot in your system. My doctor had told me to water it down as they can be very sugary.

 

[BDownmommie]

I've actually been quite a fan of the Aquafina vita water - it's the only thing in the last month that I have had more than once. My cravings / aversions are still going strong - in that I can't tolerate the idea of the same food twice!! This is going to make for a difficult pregnancy if at 7w, I don't like the idea of anything I've already eaten. (And what's worse, is that i am normally a very healthy eater, but now, i have to go with whatever will sound good lol)

Horray for babies - spent so much time yesterday looking up twin facts....so cool, i am so excited.

 

[Sass827]

Nearly there - I don't get a scan til 12 weeks either and the only reason I'm getting it then is because I opted in for genetic testing. If I didn't do the testing, I wouldn't get a us until 20 flipping weeks!
Poor DH was so sad he begged the nurse to let us come n for a Doppler at 9 weeks to try to hear a Heart beat. The nurse finally relented so were going in 8 days. it will be our first reassurance of any kind. It's made the whole thing seem pretty unreal to both of us as it is our first.

Awe, I love when hubs shows interest in what's going on. The last few days he kept reminding me that we needed to take a bump picture cuz we've been doing them weekly

I can't wait til I can actually HEAR the heartbeat, seeing it was amazing in itself! I'm DEFINITELY going to cry!

 

[Sass827]

Same! I've been cry at the drop of a hat, so the heart beat is going to send me over the edge. I didn't meet my dr last time because she was in delivery so this will be my first time meeting her. She's going to think I'm a total mess!

Me too! I've been watching Bones on Netflix and have teared up at least once an episode

I'm sure she deals with hormonal women all day

 

[cgav1424]

My doctor doesn't normally scan until 10 weeks at your first pre-natal appt, but since I've had 2 losses and a chemical, he's following me closely and booked me for a scan when I was 6 weeks. He also wanted to follow my betas, but I declined because waiting for the results makes me anxious and doesn't change the outcome. So, I hear you about blissful ignorance!

As for my aversions, it's coffee and red onions. Can't stand the smell of red onions and though I can tolerate the smell of coffee... I can't stand the taste. My cravings are random and everyone in my family from hubs to my mom to my brother thinks it's funny because I MUST have my craving or there will be hell to pay!

 

[BDownmommie]

Powell - your making me feel as though I am missing out on some of this pregnancy stuff. Not that I am really complaining, but I haven't had the ms, I am not moody (and that's the OH's view point), I don't have severe gas or heartburn - I don't tear up, for anything really.

I know every pregnacy is different, but I seem to be missing alot of the basics. (And no - this isn't bragging, it is sad - my OH keeps wishing it on me as I know this is the only pregnancy i get to have, so i want the full experience)

Consider yourself lucky. I am pretty lucky myself. I only had a few days of feeling 'hung over' and I only get nauseous when I'm hungry, and I snack every few hours to prevent that. My main symptom has been my boobs which are getting bigger, fuller and have been sore. The soreness has been coming and going. Mainly sore but I'm relieved when it goes away! They're not sore at the moment but hubs keeps commenting on how big they are. I have been very moody & neither me nor hubs likes it.

 

[Sass827]

Awe bdownmommie! I'm sure you will feel things soon. Maybe not ms ( lucky duck) but stuff for sure. Last night at dinner with my friend who is 7 months told me when she does dishes and drops a pan, the baby jumps in her stomach. She also told me you can see her belly move when he gets hiccups. I'm sure you're going to get there, especially with 2 babies! Can I ask why this is your only pregnancy? If not, that's ok too.
