Noooo Mizzy... MS cannot interfere with THE Big Mac... it is against the law... I checked! LOL

Missm... go get one... go on... I dare ya!

 

[MizzPodd]

Pad there has to a super hero out there who fights for us ladies in need of a Big Mac lol
I need to be rescued so I can eat one with lots of pickles! Lol

 

[padbrat]

If so send them my way too Mizzy!

I think those pickles have done wierd things to my tummy cos it is gurgling and rumbling really loud... I even scared the dog!

 

[manuiti]

Omg! I've only been away a day and so much has gone on. I'll do my best to catch up...

tournesol - I think as long as you're comfortable with telling your work colleagues and they'll be supportive, then go for it. And the crying about the poor donkeys... obviously it is actually very sad, but the crying is still quite funny. If you put all of us teary ones in the same room with the stuff that makes us cry, we'd all look like a right set of loons!

robinson, mightymom, bklynchick, amanda, courtney, mizzpodd and everyone else feeling , I hope you get some relief soon! And what is it with feeling horrible, but wanting to eat loads but then wretching during the act?!! It's just cruel. lol

Pad - I can just see you like a bloodhound in the wedding hall sniffing out the wine. And you know, I think the drinking and bfp thing does work. For the first time since I started ttc, during my fertile period, I went on a proper bender... and got knocked up. Oh and your tummy gurgling scaring the dog made me properly laugh out loud!

Amanda - I blame you for now really craving a maccyD's... especially the fries!!! Oooooh that would really hit the spot right now! And omg, your grocery store story made me gag! lol

mmm - Yay for your scan hun! Gorgeous piccy!!!

Snowflakes - dildo cam.. love it! And yeah, feeling nothing is totally normal too, so just smile and feel lucky while the feeling normal lasts. I felt nothing much until I hit 6 weeks. Also, my sister in her two very normal pregnancies, never felt anything besides just being pregnant.

MizzPodd - glad your scan went well! Also good to hear that you'll be getting your results on your little angel. I've been doing some exercise too, some time on the exercise bike, taking the stairs up to my apartment instead of the lift, and some yoga. I went to go for a swim today but the pool was closed because the heating system's been broken since July! Guess I won't be swimming till it warms up here. Oh, and good luck with your birthday shopping tomorrow. That's a whole load of birthday's in one go. Hope your wallet survives!

cgav - all the best for your scan tomorrow. I did the same for my scan, went in expecting the worst; I think it's just a way of protecting ourselves. I'm sure I'll be doing the same before every scan.

pinkbow - yay for your scan and little heartbeats hun!!!!

sianii - welcome and congrats!!! I'm due on the 16th, so we're not that far apart.

afm - I've just had to take a break from doing the washing up as I was starting to wretch, so am sat on the sofa trying out my first cup of ginger tea to see if it helps. I just chucked a few slices of ginger in with some boiling water; no idea if that's the right way to do it??? I'm finding carbs are helping too, but I need them often which isn't helping my baby bloat, as you can see from this photo. Morning belly - flat, evening belly - uncomfortable!

Oh, and this afternoon when I went to the bathroom, I had a bit of ewcm and a teeny bit of brown in it. Wiped a few more times but nothing. Hoping that's normal. I've got my 2nd scan on Saturday though, so hopefully everything will still be ok.

 

[Storm7]

Lovely scan news!

Not got time to fully catch up so did a quick skim!

AFM: currently travelling in France for work and wanting to curl up and sleep for about a month!

 

[EMTAmanda]

I have a confession... I took THREE naps yesterday! And I'm STILL exhausted!!!! Thank god for an understanding hubby! I don't like mayo so I'm not a fan of the big Mac but I would love two regular mcdonalds cheeseburgers with pickles for breakfast! Hahahaha! Yummmmmy! Or Chinese food!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

I'm at McDonald's now just getting fish fingers though. Really don't think I could face a Big Mac feeling really bad today!!

Storm when are you due back home? X

 

[BklynChick74]

OOO my gosh you ladies are killing me with the food talk. LOL - just thinking about a big mac is making me feel bleh but I am with the two chesseburgers with a bunch of pickles. OOO or Ice cream with sprinkles, oo wait a banana split topped with whip cream and oreo cookies. I think I need to stop following this thread for a while cause you guys are giving me wicked ideas on what to eat and balme on the baby...

 

[Storm7]

Mmmmmm McDonalds! I could murder a double cheeseburger and some fries right about now. Possibly a strawberry milkshake too. No pickles though - yuck!

I get back tomorrow afternoon and then home for a few days before holidays in sunny Spain! A trip I am actually looking forward too. However DD is unwell at the moment so hoping the trip doesn't need to be cancelled....

 

[EMTAmanda]

I swear food and sleep is all I think about lately! It's horrible! I would LOVE some Chinese shrimp and rice!!!! I've totally let myself go each time I'm pregnant I vow to be a cute preggo but as soon as ms strikes all that flies out the window haha! Poor hubby!

 

[Tournesol]

Hi sianii Welcome and good luck.

Mizzpodd, my next scan is the same day as yours, exciting!

pad, your gurgling tummy scaring the dog made me LOL as well! As did "dildo cam" who said that? I'm going to be biting my tongue not to laugh if I have to have another one of those now!

Work is good thanks, I told the boss today and he was happy for me and said he'll get on with finding out my rights regarding maternity leave and what not...
So that's good, I feel better for having it all out in the open now, no secrets!
Plus, I thought I'd better tell them what was wrong with me, I've been so sick, I'm sure they all thought I was on something!


MS is bad guys, it's getting worse every day. This morning I actually threw up my anti sickness pill, which kind of defeats the object.
Then this evening, I felt ok long enough to make myself some food and eat it, but the second I finished I had to physically stop myself from throwing it all up! I am not a happy bunny.

Still, chin up! Like you say mizzpodd, anything for the LO!

Manuiti, your poor tummy! Although I have to tell you that mine looks like your bloated tummy most of the time anyway!
Good luck at your scan, you'll be fine, don't worry about the bit of brown I'm sure it's normal x

 

[cgav1424]

Hi ladies!

Okay, first of all... thanks for the McDonald's talk... now I'll have to grab dinner there. The kids will be happy though as it's a rare great to have McDonald's for dinner.

So, I just returned from my visit with the "dildo cam" and...

WE HAVE A HEARTBEAT! I'm measuring 6w4d (just one day behind what LMP puts me at) and everything looks good. This is the furthest I've made it in any of my pregnancies since DD 6 years ago so we're remaining hopeful. I have another scan in two weeks, but my doctor said that if I'm freaking out or just need some reassurance, I can call and show up anytime and he'll squeeze me in for a quick scan just to make me feel better. I told him he shouldn't have offered that because if I had my way, I would see my little blob everyday! I love love LOVE my OB!

I can't exercise or anything and I'm still on progesterone, baby aspirin and prednisone. The prednisone is making me gain so much weight already... I'm only 6 weeks pregnant and I've gained 5 pounds. Yikes! Oh well... like we all say... Anything for my LO!

You guys have supported and helped me through so much already and we're all still barely pregnant! Thank you for your kind words and well wishes. I my BNB girls!

 

[padbrat]

Macdonalds Macdonalds... yummy yummy... no Maccy D for me today... but I am ashamed to say my name is Padbrat and I am a silver skin onion addict.... hangs her head in shame...

well done Tour... it is good to not hide our lovely pregnancies isn't it! Make sure that you know your rights with regard to your maternity and parental rights. If you are in the UK check out ACAS website or Directgov.

Good news Cgav! What is it with spotting ladies and then our lovely babies having a laugh at us when they are perfect!

Manu... lovin the bump pics! Lovely news about your scan too sweety!

hello other lovely ladies!

I am 8 weeks today! I am a raspberry!

 

[MizzPodd]

Manu- Thank you! Yes I can't wait to get full closure finally She deserves nothing less. Nice bumps!

Amanda- Lol Cheeseburgers!!! I am crackin up over here! We have all the ladies wantin McDonalds now. Hmmm I think we should get paid for giving them more business! Ha

Bklyn- lol we should have a cheeseburger day

 

[MizzPodd]

Tournesol- Cool! We will both have great news on the same day. We can upload our little peanuts I am so glad your boss is being so supportive!!! And yes anything for our rainbow babies! My MS kicked in full gear today, and it lasts alllll day and night lol gotta love it

Cgav- Awww I am so happy you saw the heartbeat!!! And your baby is right on schedule too! I pray you keep pushing through this pregnancy. Your little baby is so strong!!

Pad- A big congrats on making it to 8 weeks!!! Half way through the 1st trimester, hang in there!!! Oh and wear your onion addiction with pride! Lol

AFM- Weeeellllll I had a long day celebrating dh birthday... Lots of fun, but today would be they day my official MS kicks in!!! At the store I was so nauseated!! I made sure I got some crackers from the store. Now the though of burgers makes me sick ewww! Lol oh well, I may be able to eat it again one day.... In the far far future! Goodnight ladies!

 

[MizzPodd]

Storm- Are you enjoying France?? I've always wanted to go... For fun of course lol

MissMummy- you and me both, I can't eat it as of this morning because of my lovely MS lol

 

[BklynChick74]

Pad: I gave in and had a burger and my body called muntiny! I snuck out from work two hours early to take a nap and figured let me join in with the BnB girls. Well after I ate that burger her comes a green face a few hours later I had a personal conversation with a toliet at the gym.......bleh. Your all a bad influence lol. Just horrible. To make me feel better I had a muffin and dounut from Dunkin.....

 

[cgav1424]

Pad - yes, hon... I can just see our little ones giggling at all our fretting.

MizzPodd - thank you my dear! Isn't it always the way that MS rears its ugly head at the most inopportune times? I always feel fine in the morning, but an hour before I have to pick my kids up from school... MS inevitably kicks in. But my mantra this pregnancy is "Anything for my LO!"

Brooklyn - I was born in Brooklyn. I've been back to the city and to Jersey to visit some friends and relatives, but haven't been back to Brooklyn since I was a kid! My daughter's name was actually going to be Brooklyn, but DH overruled it since he got to pick her name. Anyway, what I wouldn't do for some Dunkin right now! I can't stand the taste of coffee right now, but a donut and coffee would hit the spot!

Have a good night, ladies!

Oh and lol... I'm typing on my iPad and I accidentally typed have a "food" night before catching it and correcting it.

 

[MizzPodd]

Cgav- lol foodnight to you too! This morning I feel icky but no MS like yesterday. I'm getting toyed with lol

Bklyn- Don't worry you won't be hearing anything burgers from me for a while, gross now.

 

[cgav1424]

MizzPodd - same here. I'm laying in bed and I feel icky, but no MS. My MS won't usually kick in until the afternoon... an hour before I have to pick my kids up from school and go into Mommy mode, of course.
