Thanks pinkclaire! I'm glad to be here

 

[Soph22]

wow, with so many of us there is so much to read up on!!

anyone else sick, like cold/sinus sick? I was totally losing my voice yesterday and today. I hate wasting sick days as I want to save them up for May, but I think I may have to take one tomorrow. It's pretty normal (although crappy) to be sick as long as I don't get a fever, right?

Took 1/2 a unisom last night to help me sleep and it's supposed to help with nausea too. It seemed to help. I've been waking up tons during the night for no apparent reason the last several weeks, but last night I slept until 5. That's still before my alarm, but better. I also didn't notice as much ms this morning.

Hope everyone's feeling alright today/tonight.

lisa- ants invading your work space? That's no good!! Greedy ants, leave the pregnant woman's snacks alone.

soph- hope you feel better. Being sick when pregnant sucks since you can't drug yourself up.

 

[mummy3]

Southern cali is pretty bad for ants too Lisa, I know your pain!

Bubbilicious, I'll be your bump buddy too, we're due the same time

Well I still have the sickness, but for past couple of days have actually got an appetite

Hello Ladies -

I just tried to catch up on the thread, but I am too tired!

Congrats/welcome to the new May mommies!

Car troubles, sickness and ants, oh my! I hope all of these problems resolve themselves quickly!

I am still feeling not pregnant. The only time I can tell I am in an "altered state" is when I try to flip over to my stomach at night. Ouchie my poor breasts are sore (and its not like they are in the way or anything, I am small on top)! I do also have food I want to eat and food I don't want to eat, but I am not sick. I can't wait until Oct. 12th for my first real appointment. The lack of symptoms is scary. However, I do realize I am lucky and I hope all of you feeling sick start to feel better soon.

 

[stardust22]

Cheree, I am not sick either!! so we can worry together. I know every person is different so I am trying to stay focused. unfortunately I had mc in january I will worry about everything anyway.

I have an early scan next Wednesday and I cant wait for that!!

Hope everyone else is feeling ok.

Cant wait to get our banner up! I imagine that will be later

 

[wild2011]

[Wiggler]

boooo!! today, at 9 weeks and 5 days i had my first pregnancy puke but i have learnt a valuable lesson, gulping down 3 large glasses of water one after the other does not make my tummy happy! i was really hoping to avoid toilet hugging this time too!

But on a better note i have figured something out which makes me very happy. I conceived 4 weeks afetr my implanon removal, which is also the same time the weight i put on with the implanon started to shift, MW told me its not a problem as long as i'm eating well, etc. i've lost a stone!! 14 whole pounds!!

Hope you're all well xxxxxxxxxxx

 

[24/7]

Bleeding stopped last night, and as of this morning no stomach pains so far today, so feeling abit happier now. Just chilling on the sofa, taking things easy now. xxx

24/7 that is really reassuring news, glad you're resting hun, have been worried about you

I just saw my MW and had a row for not eating enough!!! She said I have exceptionally high levels of ketones in my urine and suggested I havent eaten in days. I told her noo I ate loads today, and Im always eating its the only way to control the sickness, and she said Im not eating enough and my body is metabolising its own fats and therefore not getting what it needs from food!! I dont think I could physically eat anything more than I do already. She said its possibly why Im so tried, although has taken bloods and will check iron etc etc She told me that the body is metabolising its own fat, enough to let my body do the basic of functions, but anything extra I do its just draining my body hence why I fall asleep when I stop! She said I just dont have the energy stores to maintain the same lifestyle Im used to unless I ate more! I told her Im either eating or sleeping, so she laughed and said I should consider sleep snacking lolol

Right need to fetch my monster from school just now, just wanted to update you on my MW appt! Apart from the ketones, everything else seemed ok, although I do think they going to put my dates back, but she said hang fire for the 12 weeks scan it'll be more accurate.

Wow ttc that's amazing, I wish I could say that about me I think I'm putting on weight. Are you on the slight side already? What do you actually eat in the day?

This is my day so far:
Breakfast: All bran flakes and skim milk
Snack: An Apple and a plain yoghurt
Lunch: A huge new potato salad with 2 boiled eggs and cherry tomatoes, onion, cucumber and a fat free dressing.
Snack: Jelly babies, half a red grapefruit and 2 Ryvitas with marmite.
The I'll probably have a piece of salmon with potatoes, asparagus and carrots.
And for a pre bed snack maybe cereal or toast with marmite and cheese.

I can't stop eating...

Hope you feel better, but I must say eating and sleeping are my fav pass times lol

 

[new_to_ttc]

Slight side... nooooooooooooooo Im 83kg BUT I have lost a considerable amount of weight yay!!! I have been panicing that I would gain too much this pregnancy as I am having to eat what I can not what my diet should be, but I have weighed every morning and so far maintained my weight for the whole 10 weeks (dropped 4lb in the first weeks when sickness was so bad, but maintained since then).

It is 15:52pm here, so I havent had my evening meal just yet so far today I have eaten...

1 bagel and hot chocolate drink
1 part bag of crisps (they were soft and chewy blurghhh damm kids!!)
1 apple
1 full can of spaggetti hoops
1 buttered bap

Thats loads right????? In comparasion to my usual diet which would see me eating,

100g grapes
100g fat free yoghurt
75g salmon and green salad leaves
any fruit option

(cant stomach yoghurt blurghhhhhh shame as I miss it soooooooo much lol)

 

[Crissie]

mmm, sounds ok. Wonder if anything else can give you those urine results? Maybe a little more protien might do the trick? I know it must be hard though with MS! I don't envy you, but wow you have the green light to EAT EAT EAT how lucky

 

[new_to_ttc]

Yeah, I usually have a better planned lunch lolol... but I got in from work, carried away doing some work on the computer and before I knew it had to eat before dashing out for my appointment lol But I think I have a good food education since I proper started dieting, and I eat as best a balanced diet as I can musta while balancing MS lol I'll keep a food diary and make sure Im getting my 5 a day and good balance of proteins and carbs.

 

[Crissie]

I've been craving junk, junk, junk, if it wasn't for my DH making me feel guilty all the time I would eat junk all day. I could permanently eat cheese, and I've been craving marmite!

DH is trying to lose weight and I'm not helping matters by always wanting 'bad' things I'm also a bit nervous to put on too much weight I've already put on about 2.2 pounds!

 

[bubblicous]

mummy 3 - yay i have a bump buddie looking forward to it


new to ttc - i wouldnt say you werent eating enough to me what your eating sounds good but your body must be wanting more if youve got ketones in your urine (not so good)

i lost 2lbs at the start and then put 1lb back on and so far im staying at that with my 2 girls i lost loads of weight at the start with my first i lost 8lbs in the first 9 weeks being pregnant was better than any diet

im really tried all the time at the moment and fed up with broken sleep im up loads of timein the night to the loo not good at all

 

[new_to_ttc]

I never heard of ketones and made the fatal mistake of googling it Think Im going to concentrate on increasing my food intake, and eating the right foods, especially at mealtimes. Wish she gave me some indication of how many calories etc to eat... I think I will ring my friend she is a dietitian, if anyone can help she can

 

[luckyme225]

newtottc- sounds like your baby is really hungry I would snack on things with protein if you can.

wiggler- I've done the same. Drank a couple glasses of water first thing in the morning to hydrate myself and it had the opposite effect. lol. I try to remind myself now slow and steady.

I had the WORST cramps in the middle night. I'm hoping that they were just stomach pains because they were high in my stomach. It radiated into my back and I felt a warm sensation burn onto my back. Stomach/back feel fine today. Hoping my little baby is OK.
