Nicole, your ticker cracks me up! "I already have more brain cells than Paris Hilton" omg lol

Lol, thanks katiesweet. I already have 3 different apps on my phone to track development, so I figured I'd use the funny ticker. I'm looking forward to seeing what next weeks is.

yeah i have had a cup of coffee or two a day. But its started to turn my stomach, so. i stopped it.

The rules about not eating deli meat, unpasturized dairy/eggs, and soft serve ice cream aren't exactly mumbo jumbo. IF you should come into contact with Listeria or e-coli, its most likely fatal to the baby. HOWEVER the chances of coming into contact with them are the same as if you were not pregnant. Its not like bacteria says "a PREGGO WOMAN, GET HER!!". each person needs to make their own informed decisions. Some will be strict, others will be very laid back (like myself).

i didnt say that they were mumbo jumbo in the sense that the complications that could result by eating such food wasnt serious
i just meant the likelihood of one contracting such bacteria is very very low

I love coffee but drinking it now makes me feel so sick, so I think that I actually won't be drinking it any more. I'll be drinking fruit juices and water.

 

[bridgetboo62]

i drink non caffeinated soda like orange fanta and sprite
and also apple juice and gatorade
once in a while i will have a tall decaf caramel macchiato from starbucks
but thats it
i honestly dont drink water
it makes me feel uncomfortably bloated if i even drink just the tiniest amount
its weird

 

[KatieSweet]

It's just a matter of doing what you're comfortable with. I'm comfortable with caffeine in moderation, careful with bacteria risks to each their own!

 

[bridgetboo62]

i agree katie, as for me i have never contracted any bacteria from anything i have eaten, so i dont think i will be eating differently

Hi ladies. Can I join you? We had a m/c nearly two months ago and bloods went up and down for a while (but stayed very very low) so has suspected ectopic. Went on for about 3 weeks after BFP with spotting and all sorts. This was first cycle trying since then, and got my BFP a few days ago at 9dpo! So over the moon but so cautious. I've tested each day since (12dpo today when af was due) just to reassure myself that they ARE getting darker!! Was so easy first time round... I never worried at all!!!!

Kezz!!!!!!! Congrats I'm sorry to hear about your loss!

I'm happy you're here! I'm due Feb 1st So good to see you here!

So today I went in for another scan because my brown spotting turned into red. It wasn't heavy but enough to wear a pantyliner. They saw a heartbeat and baby did grow 2 days. However, you could see a big black blob under the gestational sac showing where the bleed is. They basically said it could go either way. I have another scan on June 25. Has anyone experienced this before. Is this a sub chorionic hematoma?

 

[bridgetboo62]

been craving milk lately

 

[crysshae]

Babyfeva - I don't have any experience with that, but I hope it goes away on its own and your little one is safe and sound.

It could be I had a bleed visible like that on my early scan with ds3 and he was fine with it below the sac its better than above it. Seeing a heartbeat and growth is good

I have one but I haven't had any bleeding and the sonographer said my body will either absorb it or I may have a small bleed. I know a lady who had a fairly large one and had heaps of bleeding in the first trimester to the point she thought she was miscarrying and is now 1 month from her due date so it can still all be fine xx

trying again to catch up on posts. it's going to be hard since i'll be on vacation for a week with no internet starting Friday...

I'm very sad this week because I found out that I can't eat liver, beef jerky, or black licorice while pregnant. we're talking major food staples here.

but I wonder about sushi. Japanese women have been having babies for centuries, and fish is a major food source for them. so how is it bad?

 

[Mattsgirl]

Babyfeva I'm so glad they saw a heartbeat and there was growth. Thats a really good sign. I don't have any experience with the big black blog but the other ladies sound positive!

 

[swanxxsong]

Black licorice? That's one I've never heard before; I must google it!

We are on vacation so my participation will be scarce until we return Sunday. Will check in and am thinking of, and praying for all of you!

Can't wait to see scan pics Bridget!

 

[bridgetboo62]

i cant wait to see them either!

 

[ttc126]

Ladies, i have a lot of catching up to do but i have to share....

Bad/confusing news today. Nurse called and my blood came back positive for the anti-kell antibody. Not sure what all it means yet but have to get dh tested. Its a lot like rh factor but there's no shot and no cure for it. Ive scared myself on Google already but i really don't know what is in store. If you ladies pray, please send some our way, or thoughts or wishes.

 

[dcm_mw12]

Been craving fish all week & I hate fish, I don't even eat it at all.

 

[EMYJC]

Babyfeva- I had something like that with DS1. The bleed came at 26 weeks and scared the hell out of me. I just poured red bell with no cramps. A sonographer did warn me to expect a bleed at some point but I didnt think it would wait until 26 weeks. Hoping yours gets absorbed!

TTC- you are in my prayers. xx Did this not happen with DS1?

 

[maisie78]

Babyfeva there is a group for sch on here and I have learned a lot from reading there since my bleed. Hopefully your body will reabsorb it xx

Ttc that sounds scary hun, I will keep you in my thoughts xx

Afm no more spotting this morning so I think it must have been old blood from the bleed last week. I have got to find ways to relax though because I gave myself really bad cramps last night getting so stressed
