[bridgetboo62]

hey everyone!
im officially caught on this thread now haha

for those who live in the states did everyone have a good 4th of july?
me, OH and our german shepherd xena went to the beach with my dad my sister her husband and their 23 month old and then me and my dad and OH went out to OH's dads property out in the country and watched the fireworks. it was a really long day but very fun. only got a tad bit sunburnt. but my favorite sweatshirt got popped by the fire at the beach so now there is a quarter sized hole in it

as for strollers my sister is giving us her 2012 BOB Revolution SE because they are expecting #2 any day now and are going to be getting a double stroller
its an awesome stroller and they most of the attachments for it we just have to get an infant carseat adapter for it depending on what brand of infant carseat we end up getting. it would highly recommend this stroller to anyone (they also come in double strollers as well)

Does anyone else get a sick feeling when their craving isn't satisfied?

Yes me! I seem to have my sickness under control as long as I eat every 2 hours and drink my cloudy lemonade xx

 

[RaspberryK]

That's a stroke of luck Bridget! Xx

 

[2nd time]

I became acquainted with ralph las night I have caught a bug off my darling kids feel so rouhh and worried to be ill whilstnin 1st tri

 

[MellyH]

I definitely get nauseated if I don't eat something pretty soon after waking up. I haven't really had cravings yet, more that I'll be scanning around in my head for something I think I can stomach and when I land on something I announce to my husband 'Ooooh, McDonalds fries' so he probably thinks they are cravings.

Welcome to all the new ladies!
Had my dating scan today, and it went well. For some reason they wouldn't let DH come in, which I thought was really weird. The picture was really blurry, but I did see the flickering heartbeat, which is quite the relief considering all the spotting I've had in the last few days. It was just an ultrasound tech doing it, not my doctor, so they "couldn't" answer any questions. She said I was around 7 weeks, which doesn't really make sense to me, since by LMP I was 8 weeks, OPK showed I ovulated on May 23rd, temp shows I ovulated on May 25th, and the only possible bd's that would have resulted in conception are may 22nd and may 25th. Then again, I'm not the doctor
Anyone else been told their bladder is 'overfilled' when they drink the amount of water they're supposed to, in the time frame they're supposed to? Kinda takes a bit of the fun out of the ultrasound.

Does anyone else get a sick feeling when their craving isn't satisfied?

I do! It happens if I even THINK about a food that my body just doesn't want. DH will be like "I'm making porkchops tonight, sound good?" (or whatever he plans to cook for dinner) and if I don't want I'll just get sudden nausea/full feeling, even if I was starving before

Everyone [that knows I'm pregnant] immediately jokes around the second I see something and state that I want it. It's always "Ohhhh the cravings begin!" "Ohhh it must be a boy/girl/multiples". A couple weeks ago I saw a commercial for TacoBell for some new thing that came out (I forget what it's called), but it's like a quesadilla wrapped around a burrito and ALL I said was "wow.. that looks interesting..." and immediately DH left (mind you it's 10:30pm!!) to go to TacoBell and get one for me. Honestly... I think he wanted one for himself and is just using the "pregnant wifes crazy cravings" to try and justify things lol But in all honesty, the only things I have been "craving" is water (because of this crazy heat I'm sure), and cheese (I'm assuming for the calcium), but nothing really over the top crazy... and I would probably be craving these things even if I wasn't pregnant lol

Anyone else have a stretching/burning sensation in their abdomen? It feels like I've done 1000 crunches in a row. I had this with my dd too. I forgot how uncomfortable it is. Especially after sitting in a car for 12.5 hours!

I'm feeling like I've been punched really hard right below my belly button! I'm just glad that I can lay down during the day if I need to do so.

 

[savvysaver]

Hoping someone can help...is it normal to have like a stabbing pain around the left hip area? It only last about 5-10 minutes and it isn't super painful but does feel very uncomfortable. It started yesterday evening and has happened about 6-7 times throughout the last 24 hours.

jmandrews, I sometimes get the sore abdomen too.

 

[Megamegan]

Yep, I get sore abdomen feeling a lot. I also get really sharp gas pains but I know what they are because I will feel the gas first. I'm going #2 a lot more these days so that must be why.

Nicole- I can never drink all the water they say to. I can drink like a quarter of the amount, then I have the intense urge to pee! And I'll do it like 10 minutes before I go to my appt because otherwise I absolutely can't hold it in. It's painful. Even when I wasn't pregnant.

I also feel sick if I don't eat the "right" food my body wants. And I've been dreading cleaning our kitchen because of all the smells. I haven't been unbearably nauseous, but definitely enough to annoy me.

Last night for 4th of July we went to the Mets game and they had fireworks in Citi Field at the end. The fireworks were lame- how much can do you in a baseball stadium?- but it was my first baseball game as an adult and we got in free with special seats because of DH's work, so it was a blast. Definitely way more fun than doing nothing, which is what we almost did.

 

[Megamegan]

savvy- It's probably normal, I've gotten all sorts of pains, and maybe with the twins everything is intensified. But you should keep track of it so you can tell your doctor. Seems like the word on the street is, if you aren't spotting or having a fever, it's okay for now.

I totally wanted that Taco Bell Quesarito! Unfortunately I can't eat wheat or onion and taco bell is totally out of the question. Glad you got one, was it any good? I also have had a craving for the pizza hut dinner box that I see on tv every commercial! This pregnancy has me totally craving wheat!

Thanks, I figured if it is still happening on Monday I would call over to the office and ask. Hoping it is just everything stretching but I get so nervous with sharp pains.

 

[2nd time]

Savey it sounds like round ligament pain it will be stronger for you becauee of the extra stretch. Does it stop if 6ou layrown

 

[bridgetboo62]

oh my goodness that is totally my version of MS in a nutshell
if i dont eat something within like 20 minutes of waking up i feel like im going to barf and sometimes throughout the day too if i get hungry but most intense first thing in the morning
still havent barfed yet or gagged or come even close
but yesterday i felt the worse until we got mcdonalds breakfast hehe

QUESARITO! Thats what it is! It was pretty good!

 

[swanxxsong]

The commercials for the Quesarito keep making me want it. But the last times I are Taco Bell years ago, I got sick. Three times in a row! SO I'm cut off. Hahaha.

The BOB is a really nice stroller Bridget! You'll love it!

I have horrible gas pains. Horrible. No one wants to sit in the same room as me. Hahaha.

I'm getting that, too, and I did with DD as well. I take it to mean that my uterus is growing and my abdominal muscles are expanding. I hope I don't get diastacis rectii again!

The only things helping the morning sickness are lemonade and peppermint essential oil. Just a whif of the peppermint is enough to quell it for a bit. Smoothies are nice, too!

Thanks, last week I told the nurse I had pain when I cough/sneeze and she mentioned round ligament pain...so hopefully that is the issue I am having. I tried laying down and it didn't help too much, I curled up in a ball and it seemed to help a little.
