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. :haha:

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?

Liver is a no because of the vit a, liquorice is a definite no in large quantities but I'm not sure about the odd bit. Beef jerky really?
And sushi is fine, nhs website and uk food standards agency says it's safe since its flash frozen in the eu. If you eat it I'd just make sure you know it's been prepared safely, maybe get them to do it fresh for you or if prepacked trust that it's been kept cool enough.
You can always make your own too to make sure and flash freeze the fish yourself or ask the seller.
Also lots of cheese is fine it's only a small amount of Blue and soft cheeses that aren't and you can always cook them so they are ok.

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.

Fingers crossed for you xx
 
Babyfeva - I'm so happy to hear they've found the heartbeat and that your little one is growing! That's good news! I hope your body will take care of the sack by itself :)

TTC - I'm so sorry about your news.I'm definitely sending you good thoughts and keeping my FX for you.

Swanxxsong - enjoy your holiday! :)

I love black licorice! It's my favorite. But now that I think about it, I haven't actually been in the mood for it at all the past few weeks... so that takes care of itself haha.
No real cravings yet for me, but definitely some aversions. For example I had mushroom pasta yesterday and it just tasted off to me. Sour-ish. Ughhh. Disgusting even. I love mushrooms. Dang it.
 
My water has been tasting soapy, I've been wanting to eat salty things, olives, anything smoked, chips with loads of salt n vinegar.
I couldn't eat my dinner last night, I literally ate a few mouthfuls before feeling full/sick but then my tummy was rumbling all night.
Dh was like you can't not eat that and I said well if I eat any more it'll all come back up.

Hey ladies - just a word of caution regarding foods you should or should not eat. I know some folks mentioned that they've never gotten bacterial infection from the foods but keep in mind that your body has immunity to fight off bacteria whereas your baby doesn't and is vulnerable from the rapid cell growth development.

Just something to keep in mind as you make your decisions.
 
I've been a vegetarian for over 20 years now (no meat, no fish) and I always joke with DH about that episode of Friends where Phoebe (pregnant with triplets and also a vegetarian) suddenly craves meat all the time.
...that would suck. I hope I'll crave beans and stuff. Makes me gassier than a hot air balloon, but at least it's good for me.
 
I was veggie when pregnant with ds and craved raw fillet steak! As soon as I took iron it went away. Xx
 
Every day I seem to discover a new food or habbit we are to avoid - it makes me so stressed!
 
Last night I was desperate for chips and curry sauce. Ended up ordering takeout in the end!
 
I was total opposite with dd. I am a bit of a carnivore, love meat! But when pregnant with dd I couldn't stand it. At most I could manage some chicken by the time I was 7 months but red meat made me physically sick. Strange what happens to our bodies :)
 
Im shattered and its 1pm and i gotta go out tonight :( plus gotta go get DH from work later, I think i need a nap, don't think i'll get one though with the boys around
 
Ugh I'd love a nap! Fat chance around here... Might have to stick a film on and hope Lil Man is quiet for an hour or so.
I'vepowered past the fatigue and dinner is in the oven for later, hoovered, kitchen cleaned etc, just going to have a cuppa before hopefully starting on the bathroom which hasn't had any attention for over a week with me going away for the weekend and other things.
Xx
 
I got a load of washing to hang up and dinner to cook before we go pick up Dh from work then back here rush through dinner and i need to check on a playhouse on my way out tonight.
 
Thank you ladies! I'm not sure how much I'll be posting until we know more but I'll read and try to keep up with you all.

This didn't happen with my son. I cold have gotten it from one of the blood transfusions i had with his pregnancy or from him somehow during delivery. If my dh tests negative for Kell, everything should be fine maybe extra monitoring. If I got it the other way, we'll see what they do or can do...

Hope everyone is feeling ok!
 
Hi ladies. Hope all is ok. Got to catch up on some posts but just wanted to share my blood results. So on Sunday 15th my HCG was 1761. Bleeding slowed down and by Tue just some spotting. Had some repeat bloods today and HCG has gone to 6429! It has a doubling time of 50.0 hours. Usually it says 72-96 hours once over 1200. Is it ok to be going up quicker than the norm?

I am very relieved and am going to try and stay positive now. Scan on 30th to check there's a HB! x
 
yes its fine for it to be going up quicker than the norm hun , so happy those bloods came back good for you
 
Oh cool. Thanks lynnikins. I am such a worrier. I hope you manage to get a nap x
