ive completely gone off sweet foods, i have a bar of my favorite chocolate in the cupboard but the thought of it makes me feel ill, likewise i have 2 cakes in my kitchen but can't bare the thought of trying to eat it, liking cheese on crackers though lol and salted pretzel snacks, its crazy caus normally all i want during cold weather is warm and sweet food but right now i want cold and savoury

I'm not into all of that stuff. I'll just have to wait for an ultrasound ahaha. And I'm a huge non believer in the world of psychics etc. Not to say I'm not interested to see if the predictions are accurate for anyone else. =)

I've been like this too, i keep wondering if it's just because I feel more sick this time, or if it's actually real opposite cravings and opposite gender. Although I obviously just want a healthy baby, I would have another girl if I could choose, so I think I keep trying to convince myself it's just the nausea making me want to eat certain things, and that it's still too early for cravings! Although I had a scan at 9 weeks with DD and I remember on the way back from that stopping at the shop to buy loads of jelly sweets which I would never normally do, and I was completely hooked on them for the whole pregnancy.

Sorry your scan didn't go as well as you wanted squid, but for what it's worth it all sounds good to me. I think it's just so hard to think positive after losses, you always see the possible negatives and assume the worst. I know there are massive changes in growth levels every day at this stage, and as others have said a small margin for error, so you could go back next time to find it has jumped ahead.

I'll be wishing I'd listened to this advice myself this time tomorrow I'm sure, I typically measure behind at all of my scans, even though I'm positive on my dates from charting, and even when the sonographer isn't worried it always makes me assume the worst. I find it so annoying my closest friends who are pregnant with their second now have both been put ahead over a week both times at their scans!

I'm a huge non believer too! My 'instinct' told me girl when I had my first so that was obviously not right, and Chinese gender said girl for both my boys

I kind of have some faith in the nub theory but for both my sons their 12 week scans didn't have nubs so I was none the wiser!

Squig - sounds like everything will be just fine I have everything crossed for you x

My stomach bloats in the evenings, it's like a proper little bump! But I think that's just bloating and IBS haha, it's completely gone by the morning. I can't wait for 2nd tri- feeling movements, starting to show and hopefully being able to enjoy food again.

Got my scan letter through, exactly 5 weeks from today. I'll be exactly 13 weeks, feels like ages but I can't wait.

 

[vaniilla]

I don't really believe in any of it either but I see it as a bit of fun and it gives me something to do

I can't wait for second tri movements either! such an exciting time

I felt so ill picking lo up from school today there were a few moments I came very close to throwing up, I'm dreading next week if it doesn't improve - it's a 40 minute walk in total, I might be permanently getting the bus!

 

[gaiagirl]

I'm so ill today! Just threw up my breakfast and I had to stay home from work. This is so much worse than last time.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

I find psychics and psychic readings soo intriguing, although I've never personally had one.

With my 1st pregnancy I just knew he was a boy right from the start, I would have been so shocked if they had told me girl. I'm sure there was some sort of study that showed that there is something to mother's instinct, something like 70% of mothers guessed correctly when obviously you would think it would be 50/50. This time though I have no feeling either way, neither does DH

So my sister showed my sono to the radiologist at her hospital and he said indeed there is a second gestational sac measuring at 5+1. There is no fetal pole or yoke sac. He said it's a possibility that the second baby implanted later and could still be a baby but the more likely scenario is that we lost that baby. My first midwife appointment is Nov. 20 and I'll have a sono then and we'll know for certain . I know I was saying I didn't want twins but I can't help but being a little sad. Ultimately though I'm just happy there's still one little bean in the with a nice strong heartbeat.

 

[vaniilla]

gaiagirl - I'm sorry to hear you'r having such a tough time with morning sickness today.

GeralynB - I'm really sorry if that's the case, anyone would be upset in your shoes.

 

[mommyxofxone]

So sorry Gaia and geralyn totally understandable Hun


And yeah I just do the tests for fun! Definitely done believe them

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Geralyn it must be frustrating not knowing for certain, I can understand why you're upset xxx

 

[gaiagirl]

Thanks ladies. I managed through the day and now DH is home for 3 days. Its DS bday and party so lots to do!

I also keep wanting to comment on all your posts but my keyboard is broken on my phone so typing is very painful and slow. Next time I'm on my computer I will definitely catch up!

 

[MiraclesHappn]

And today I am already 1/4 of the way to the finish line!!

Hopefully only a couple weeks until I start to feel some movements!

 

[vaniilla]

gaiagirl - I hope your ds has a great birthday

MiraclesHappn - you're so close to second tri!

It feels like time is dragging at the moment, it feels like my appointment is ageeeees away.

 

[AngelofTroy]

I had 2 days of hardly any sickness but today it's back

 

[Starlight32]

I can't wait to be in second trimester! I want the risks to decrease, I'm so worried these days.

 

[mommyxofxone]

ican't wait for second tri either. first time around i felt SO great in second tri. really hoping the same this time.

i THINK my nausea is done, but i'm feeling awfully tired instead now...

 

[Boo44]

OMG I would love my nausea to be done at 8 weeks usually more like 14/40 for me
