Ooooh that's a good idea. I'll see what I can find at the store this weekend.
 
yeah - I been switching from watered lemonade that worked well (totally surprised by this) for quite a few days, then gatorade, then cranberry ginger ale pop, then chocolate milk. Plain water upsets my stomach...later on today I think I'll try a blended nectarine/water/ice since I am home today.
OH asked me everynight what I want for dinner - and my answer lately is - I have no idea since i don't feel like eating anything, but make something and I'll see if it works. Most times it has.
The nausea is very bothersome though - I just keep telling myself I am halfway through the sick feeling...and my brothers wedding is next Sat...ordered a dress and it should be here today :) Just hoping I don't have to make too many alterations.

Google is so bad...and the first tri threads are scary - I stopped looking there. I'll be much happier when we have our 2nd u/s next Friday!

We actually took a picture of the bloat - I have a pooch in the morning, and it is bigger at night. I think I'll feel better when I can feel the bump :)

Feronia I am so glad that telling the parents went well, save for the one remark! I bet that's a weight off your shoulders!

I tried the baking soda test that was discussed a few days ago. Said girl. I have no gut feeling at this point but am slightly leaning toward boy, only because so far things have been so different from my girl. I know that means nothing, but still. LOL.

its weird for me, because all tests have pointed to a girl ( i know they're all fun but you know) but my gut feeling is that its a boy, and i have no idea why, i just have this feeling its a boy!!

Haha! Oh those gut feelings!

A lot of people told me that based on Shettles, I was having a boy. Yada Yada.

She's def a girl. I had a gut feeling with her but it didn't come until not long before my 20 week scan. And all my tests were mixed results -- as you said, all for fun anyway haha -- so I wasn't sure what to think!

Made my first baby purchase today! I've been waiting to buy moccasins off
Instagram for awhile. Got a great deal on two pairs!
 
The last few days I have noticed I am losing more than usual... Has anyone else found that happening to them?
 
Weight? Hair? Money? :lol:

I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight after losing 5lb/2kg due to morning sickness. Basically I am forcing myself to eat. River, my problem has been that my husband is away, so I have had to walk into the kitchen every night, feeling sick and like I couldn't possibly eat, and having to choose something to both cook (raw meat is right out!) and then eat. It's been a struggle.
 
I haven't noticed more hair loss, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a pregnancy symptom, it seems like every bloody thing is. :lol:

Captain - I have gone through 4L of milk this week, it's the only thing I can drink reliably that doesn't make me feel gross! I keep justifying it because it's calcium, good for building babies. :lol:

You sound like me! DH bought 7 pints on clearance for 5p each (2 were whole, the rest were 1%) and I've had all of them this past week! I have already had 1 pint out of the 4pt that was in the fridge today as well. This in in addition to the loads of water I've been drinking!
 
I suppose it helps that I saw baby's heartbeat at 8+1. Just want to get to 2nd tri now. Can't believe we're all so close! It's gone quick in a way, but slow with all the worrying x
 
That's crazy! What a great deal. :lol: I think I paid $2.99 for a 2L bottle and I've gone through two this week.
 
Food is definitely very cheap In The uk... But I think wages are lower, too... Still 5p is a pretty good deal!

I have found groceries kinda pricey in the US, and the last time I was in Australia my eyes all but watered! A block of cheese was something like $8-9!

This is my first too! I Googled exactly the same statistics and my biggest fear is getting to my scan next week and only having one. I know as of Monday there is still one beating heart for sure as heard it on the doppler at midwife. I know the other one was hiding behind the first one at the scan so likely that's why she couldn't get it but even though I said I wouldn't worry I have been! Thursday needs to be here now lol. If I could get my hands on a doppler for home without ordering online I would. X

I am excited that the three of us are first time twin moms! My fear is the same though I also feel like I was given twins for a reason and everything will be okay with both babies. Hopefully the twin who is hiding will make their big appearance on the screen for you next week. My doctor said my m/c chances dropped to like 2% now that we saw two perfect beating hearts. Hoping the next few days pass fast for you!
 
I heard about the same number, savvy, so that's reassuring.

This baby-making business is hard! Can't believe some of you are almost 12 weeks and having to worry about MMC, urgh, it shouldn't be like this, it should be a time of joy!

I've also been googling brown discharge even though I've had it in both previous pregnancies! One was fine, one was not so I know it can go either way yet I'm still googling!

Re. the dreaded bloat - does anyone else wake up with a flat tummy and get more bloated as the day goes on? Every morning I convince myself I'm not getting bigger and it's all gone wrong but by evening, I feel huge! :blush: My nausea also appears to be improving (trying desperately to not see that as a bad sign, lol!)

Look in the dictionary under 'Paranoid' and there'll be a picture of me, ha ha!!

I love my morning flat tummy but around 3 in the afternoon it is gone and a huge bloated, gassy tummy appears. Hard for me to eat dinner when I am so bloated. Though I told my hubby I would rather me miserable with bloat than be vomiting.

Minibump, if your pic is under "paranoid" then my pic is under "nervous"! Haha! :)
 
I had my scan today, only one in there! :) Baby was really really wriggly, so they had trouble getting some measurements, little tinker! Been put back 2 days to Feb 8th but I was expecting that, as I have long cycles.

They couldn't get any blood out of my arms though, so they ended up taking it from my hand and I ended up passing out before they had got 2 vials, so I've got to go and get another 2 taken at some point, boo to that!

And we can fiiiiiiinally tell people! My team at work had kind of guessed, but everyone is very happy!

I've been feeling baby move this week, so all in all, a good week!
 
Oh my goodness, movement!!! How exciting. :D That is frustrating about the blood draw though, I hope next time goes better. :hugs:
