ZombieKitten, it doesn't sound like there is much you can do about it, except maybe put a sign in your window asking neighbours to not smoke nearby because your children are inside?

I'm on the second floor, they wouldn't be able to see it... but now I'm wondering if they sell any kind of filter or something I can stick in my fan? Time to do some research!

 

[confuzion]

A lot going on! So hard to keep up .

ttc - I must have missed the news about your husband testing negative for kell, congrats!

feronia - I think the heartbeat starts out a little low and gets a little higher weeks 7-9. Sounds like your bean is doing fine congrats.

melly - yay for normal poops! TMI but I seem to be going several times a day but it's dry and I have to strain it's terrible! The intestinal pain is horrible too. I used to be so regular .

Confusion, I'm in the same boat as you. However part of my back up is caused by zofran so i don't know which is worse...feeling like death from nausea or constipation.

Actually, the nausea is worse. Lol!!!! Choices!!!!

 

[MellyH]

I sympathise with both of you! It's my least favourite symptom so far.

 

[EMYJC]

I am with you all on the constipation front! I have also put on 6 lbs!! How on earth?! I hope the majority of that is water and being bunged up as I am eating just as I was before. I feel huge!

 

[lynnikins]

i put on 4 lbs that id just lost, water weight so not happy about it cause id lost the water weight then 4lbs of actual weight and now its all back

 

[EMYJC]

I know just how you're feeling x

Cinnamon toast crunch seems to be the only thing I can stomach without feeling sick

 

[Megamegan]

I am with you ladies! I feel enormous!! I have gained at least 4 pounds. This is a picture of me from last night's performance. My belly is quite obviously sticking out. Usually I might have a little padding but not blatant round belly. Haha. Also, I had to buy this dress yesterday for its stretchy material because none of my other dresses fit. Ugh! I just feel fat and bloated and horrible. I can't wait til 2nd trimester.

 

[Megamegan]

DCM I just HAD to comment- how funny is this- cinnamon toast crunch is the first food since I've been pregnant that I absolutely can't stand! I get super grossed out by the soggy cinnamon cereal. hahaha. And I love cinnamon (it's probably my favorite flavor besides garlic).

 

[RaspberryK]

I can eat soup and crackers. That's about it, I've not put anything on at all but my belly is definitely sticking out.
Xx

 

[EMYJC]

You look lovely in that dress! I've got to get in a bikini next week for my holiday. Not good! I keep wanting to eat quorn sausages and salad. Nausea wakes me up every morning, wanes off by about 11 and then comes back again about 7 pm for hour or two.

 

[maisie78]

Megan I think that dress looks lovely

I have gone off red meat. I did the same with dd. I'm still ok with chicken and salmon but anything else makes me want to heave I am definitely craving strawberry milkshake. Even writing here makes me want to go and have one (I bought some yesterday so have it in em fridge ). Nausea is still with me. I wake up sick but starving too which is weird, it goes by mid afternoon then I feel really ill in the evenings. I haven't had a proper evening meal for 3 days now because 4 bites and I am done. Probably why I am waking up starving
Weight wise I have lost 7lbs so far but trust me I have it to lose

Hope everyone is good today xx

 

[lynnikins]

I can't eat things with tomato in them atm had a taste of the spag bolly i was heating for the kids the other day and instant nausea i know if i ate it then it wouldnt get to my stomach before id be throwing it up. looks like Chilli, sausage cassarole, spag bolly etc.. are off the menu for me for the time being. gonna need to stock up on meat pies for my red meat intake

 

[crysshae]

I don't mind at all.

Feronia is right. You want them in separate sacs. You are right about when they split determines what they share. I was not clear when I wrote yesterday. It's 25% share nothing. Most will have separate sacs but share a placenta.

crysshae, Thank you so much!

Hopefully I will have a second ultrasound soon. I called to find a new OB and I have an appointment next Wednesday, a nurse is calling me Tuesday so hopefully I can get her to schedule me another ultrasound soon.

Girls in the US...if you pay for an early ultrasound w/o insurance how much does it cost? My MIL runs the office for a family doctor practice, figured I might be able to pay for a few extra ultrasounds if the OB won't order one soon. Of course MIL doesn't know we are pregnant yet, but we are telling her in two weeks when I should be around 10 weeks.

 

[crysshae]

You're welcome.

I'm not sure how much private scans cost, but your OB should do more scans because you have twins and then send you to a specialist or at least for more detailed sonos later in your pregnancy to make sure everything is good and on track.

 

[lynnikins]

twins do get more scan normally than singletons
