Sorry all--been a bit MIA the past few days. Had my brother and my friend here this weekend and then a Christmas party at our house last night that I was literally cooking all day for. Having a much needed down day today!
Lilmiss - doesn’t it seem hypocritical that when sons have their dad’s name or dad’s name as a middle name no one bats an eye but if a daughter is given the mom’s name in some fashion everyone thinks it’s vain? I fully plan on giving one of my daughters my first name as a middle name (if I have any more daughters that is)!
Congrats heather!
Buffy I also feel my kids are too young to share, but they don’t have a choice so I guess they’ll get used to it? And I’m so sorry about your sister losing her baby, that is so terrible. Will they try again? I really hope she gets her rainbow.
Four - yes! I’m still in a fb group from when my son was born and it’s sooo nice to have a place to talk to other mamas whose kids are the same age!
TexMel your baby is the size of a Ferrero Rocher and I’m literally eating those right now :hehe: such a great visual of how big he/she is!

I have so much jealousy that your nausea is gone. I'm still suffering. I have a few more good moments now (still not more than the bad moments) so maybe it's (slowly) starting to lift. However I did (TMI sorry) throw up in the sink today trying to brush my teeth so that was really not great.

Still not feeling well at all here. Not really nauseous just a general dont feel good. I feel tired and sluggish but going to try to do some housework later. On the plus side, Ive felt baby wiggle a couple times! Ive always felt my babies move super early.

eppgirl that's awesome! With my second I felt her super super early as well, around 10 weeks and consistently every day by 12. Hope it's similar this time! With my first I didn't feel him till 18 weeks, and not consistently till somewhere between 20-22.

Wow eppgirl that IS early! Congrats on feeling those first flutters
The Diclegis I am on, which I also took it in my two previous pregnancies, takes a couple weeks for it to start helping me. I think it is finally starting to ease it but I still have days that are worse than others and still have my queasy moments each day. You can tell when it starts to wear off by the end of the day. I get MS full force usually starting around 8 PM each night. For some reason laying down makes my stomach turn even more which makes it hard to get to sleep. The only thing that really helps is eating throughout the day but then my "snacking" leads to weight gain... I can't win

Eppgirl thats amazing!! I felt some weird flutters this weekend and looked st hubby like what in the heck was that but I passed it off to be twitching or something, I cant imagine Im feeling baby at 9 weeks, just makes me feel crazy so I wont admit thats what it is lol Im excited to know its not impossible...I noticeably felt both my girls at 16 weeks so I know it wont be long before the butterflies come
I too am feeling absolutely awful today...worse than I have in weeks...hopefully its a quick hormone surge and leaves me be for a few days because its miserable!

Yes definitely possible!! I felt my ds1 at 9 weeks, didnt feel much til 12 then I would feel him every other day til I was about 18 weeks.
The twins I felt at 8 weeks and and dh felt them at 12 weeks on the outside. It was crazy I felt them every day from that point on. But I guess that was cause there was two lol.

I keep forgetting to sign in here since we created the Facebook group. Whoops
Livvy - they have done 2 cycles of IVF now. First cycle failed, and 2nd was a chemical/early mc. They have spent over $20,000 (AU) so far. The thought of that makes me die a little inside. My DH and I have gotten pregnant "easily" also. My sister is in a same-sex relationship, so unfortunately the money was always going to be a factor for them.
Im still sick and tired all day long. Im over 10 weeks now and actually feel like it is getting worse rather than getting better.
As for announcing, I will announce after my next ultrasound which is on January 2nd. I'll be just over 13w. Im bummed I have to wait that long, but with Christmas and New Years, it just wasnt able to work out for any earlier.
I have had an anterior placenta with my first two pregnancies, so i never felt anything until a little bit further along.

I swear this morning I felt this weird flutter. It didnt feel quite like gas, felt like a ripple in my belly... I thought it was nothing and couldnt possibly be baby but maybe Im wrong?!? Havent felt it since... interesting!! Im only 10w. Until I feel it more Ill just assume it was gas but you never know lol
Ugh.. feeling truly miserable today, the worst I have in a couple weeks and eating doesnt seem to help, had to call out sick to work. Which I feel nervous and guilty for since Ive been not myself at work lately and I feel like its showing in my work. DH is worried Im calling out sick too. I told him I dont think they would fire a pregnant person (theyve been supportive otherwise) and Im also in a union so I have that protection as well, and its only temporary til i feel better.. I know all these things but Im paranoid and my boss has been in a weird mood lately (probably nothing to do with me lol). Ugh!

So I feel horrible saying this, but to this point I've managed to almost totally avoid nausea. I had some very mild nausea for a couple of days 2 weeks ago but then it went away. My doctor told me that it kicks in for a lot of women around 9 weeks so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I start feeling horrible.
For the last several weeks I have felt a little 'off' all day long but nothing too bad. I haven't had any food aversions or cravings and have been just a bit more sleepy at night.
I'm sure all the bad symptoms will hit me like a pile of bricks as soon as I write this haha!

Hi ladies! Just popping in to say hi. I've been feeling so yucky lately that haven't really wanted to do anything other than lay around. After over a month of nausea, I was finally sick last night. I'm so over this phase of pregnancy. I'm ready to have some energy back and to feel like food is my friend again. My two year-old is sick right now too which isn't helping things. I'm jealous of you ladies that are starting to feel better. I'm desperately hoping relief is around the corner. Ok, rant over.

So Ive discovered that every time I eat or drink something dairy wise I get extremely nauseous. No throwing up yet, but I feel awful. So some of my favorite foods are out the window at the moment. Milk, choc milk, Mac and cheese, ham and cheese sandwiches, Alfredo, it sucks. I ate mashed potatoes with lactose free milk earlier and I felt fine. So Im wondering if this baby is going to be lactose intolerant like his brothers or if its just a fluke. With them I drank choc milk by the gallons and couldnt get enough Mac and cheese and theyre lactose intolerant so Im not sure if it plays a role or not.

Ugh! You ladies that are further along than I am make me dread the upcoming weeks My nausea today was almost unbearable, after I just said I felt like it was getting better. Today I'm sooooooo gaggy. I'm also having a hard time finding anything I want to eat and I have a headache too. I'm thinking it is a hormone surge. I typically have a day where I feel almost normal, then a so-so day and then a day like today. Please don't judge me for saying this but I really wish we had a babysitter so I could just rest today and focus on myself for once. My poor toddler DD just doesn't understand that mommy doesn't feel good and she has been super clingy.
Glong - I had much more milder sickness with my girls than my boys... maybe it is a sign?
