FEBRUARY HEARTS Due in February 2015 , open group all welcome!

[Longing2bAMum]

Finding it hard to keep up on here, I know people keep saying it!

I've also been craving fast food, but we aslo don't eat wheat or dairy, I have caved and just bought fries twice now, they really hit the spot, I kind of feel like I could eat a never ending upply of fries right now!

I've been experiencing nausea, no sickness just a constant sick feeling, sometimes goes away when I eat something, but is definitely there when i'm thinking about food, like writing a shopping list and trying to think of dinners for the week so eating is becoming a little difficult, I've been forcing myself though or my little one wouldn't get fed lol

My boobs aren't really sore any more which is great as still feeding my DS

And i'm also constipated and have trapped wind, I was last time too so kind of expected it this time round, it feels horrible, and i'm trying to think of lighter foods to eat, instead of stodgy things, so salad it is for us this week

I'm glad (but not really glad that you have to experience these things) to read that i'm pretty much the same as most of you, so not feeling as alone with these unpleasant symptoms

I'm eating more sushi than ever now that I'm pregnant. Kind of ironic lol. It's just the only thing that feels light enough yet filling. I'm only eating cooked or vegetarian, so no risk of parasites.

Bought my first maternity tops today! Old Navy. They make me feel pregnant instead of fat! Yay.

Do a little research of your own but i've found sushi to be safe, fsa and nhs both say it's fine.

[bridgetboo62]

yeah i mean japanese women basically live on sushi and they still have babies just fine
i think the whole raw fish sushi thing is kind of silly personally

I'm thinking of getting a doppler.. where's the best place to buy one? I'm in America, btw if that's a question.

 

[RaspberryK]

EBay? Amazon? Xx

 

[bridgetboo62]

i want to buy things!
i really want to go out and buy a bellaband today
even though i dont really need it yet
my jeans fit just fine still

 

[bridgetboo62]

i found ebay to be the cheapest at $49.99 for the sonoline b
which is what most people here on BnB recommend
(i know this from stalking the first tri boards haha)

 

[xsugarplumx]

Oh thank you! I just put my order in for it! xo

 

[bridgetboo62]

how exciting!
i hope we all hear the little heartbeats
without too much effort/stress

I have thought about going into town to get another First Response Pregnancy test, because I'm still worried it was a false positive. :/

We are new to the US (well, hubby is American, so only I am new new), so I am looking around at a couple of different ob-gyns. Did you all already have obstetricians before you were pregnant? I very much liked the dr from Thursday, but guess I just want to be sure. Perhaps this is the first parenting decision I have to make?! Seems like a big one, as a good dr can make a huge difference should anything go wrong. I was living in the uk before this, and must admit that it is a much nicer feeling not being on the nhs/having a lot more choice about who we choose to care for us!

Hi! Congrats! As far as OB's I had one for years but when I had my m/c in December the office staff and nurses did not handle the situation well so I switched to a new OB/hospital. He was a jerk and wouldn't listen to any of my questions/concerns. I finally went to see an RE and got a bfp the following day, they were great with me but unfortunately do not deliver babies so I am searching for another new OB. I have an appointment next week, I will see if I like the doctor and if she will be able to handle twins, if not I still have time to move on. The OB I want is on maternity leave until September. Make sure you feel comfortable with the OB you choose. My hospital has birth teams, while you work with a specific OB they might not deliver the baby because they are not on call, sick, etc. So you meet the entire team. Good luck, hope you find a good OB!

Thanks for the advice- I think I will be happy to have looked around so that I feel confident in my choice. We got one recommendation from a colleague of my husband, but the lady I really liked I found via zocdoc (if you are in the usa) have a look and see what you think! I have seen two doctors off there, and the reviews seemed pretty accurate.

Congratulations on twins! I nannied two girls from two weeks-their first birthday. It is really very special to see two people grow up together like that. I have some great videos of them talking and playing with each other from way before single kids do!

 

[bridgetboo62]

i feel like im nesting already
i really want to buy things for baby already

 

[xsugarplumx]

I bought way too many things way too early. I think I may have created bad Karma by doing that.. :/ I have a bad feeling

 

[ttc126]

Bridget with my first i bought some bibs during the tww because i was so convinced i was pregnant! I bought a dresser at 5 weeks along! I did wait to buy clothes and things like that till we found out he was a boy But i did get some stuff super early.

For this baby, we've gotten a pacifier and some different bibs at around 4 weeks then i got some diapers and covers that are newborn size (we do cloth) last week!

I know I'd be heartbroken if anything happened but it makes it more real to me to slowly get a few things even if it's early

 

[bridgetboo62]

yeah i want to buy like an infant carseat and a crib and a changing table haha and a diaper bag
i just want to set up a nursery

 

[Captain]

Bridget I'd never heard of a Bella band before so thank you so much for posting about it! I could really do with one today as I'm sooo bloated I've been waking around in a hoody to hide my unbuttoned jeans!!

 

[Megamegan]

DH told me not to get a Doppler because he thinks it will add stress to the pregnancy, like if I can't find the heartbeat one day, or if I end up obsessively doing it every day. He's probably right, for me.

I read that sushi is safe if you make sure it was frozen before it was served. But, I don't *need* the raw fish, I more just like the flavors and the rice, so veggie works for me.

 

[Megamegan]

I definitely need a belly band. NONE of my jeans/pants fit buttoned up, and most don't fit in the butt and legs anymore. I have some yoga pants that fit and some shorts that are stretchy.

I don't want to buy things for the baby quite yet, but towards the end I will... and we are going to move before setting up the nursery, so it will just be a bassinet in our bedroom pretty much... so furniture has to wait until after we get our house. Just because we don't think it makes sense to move the furniture especially since we won't use a crib for a few months. A dresser would be nice but I don't know. We'll see how it goes.

 

[Megamegan]

Ummm new symptom.... stabbing pains in my vagina. Ouch. Not pleasant. My vagina feels sore like I'm about to get my period. So if anyone else is feeling this, know that you're not alone! haha.
