I wish I had the will power lol we'll definitely be finding out. One reason is we've kept all of dd clothes. So if it's another girl great we have some ready haha.

5 weeks today... I feel good. No bleed so far. Boobs tender. Waves of dizziness.... constantly need to eat I can't stop. I'm gonna buy one of those smoothie makers need to get some fresh produce down me and hopefully it will keep me feeling fuller for a bit longer
 
Happy 5 weeks Ciz!

Things have been quiet this morning! I was expecting to wade through pages!

7 weeks today for me, got my doctors appointment tonight.
Still feeling pretty nauseous, but hardly throwing up, which is quite frustrating, because last time I'd always feel a little better if I actually was sick. Get twingy pains in lower abdomen, but boobs are quite normal, sometimes a bit sensitive.
Bloated! Omg the BLOAT! It's ridiculous, I feel like a hippo. By afternoon I'm having to undo my trousers. I can't wait for the nausea to go so I can actually try and eat more sensibly. And I'm going to get on the cross trainer too, when I can for a bit of low intensity exercise. At the moment though if I do too a lot in one go (work, not exercise) I feel sick and dizzy so I have to go and sit back down again. I feel like a big fat slug slithering along! Urgh!

So there we have it: I'm a hippo/slug hybrid at the moment!
 
Oh mummamoo bless you! I hope you start to feel brighter soon.

Happy 5 weeks ciz!! I'm 4 weeks today! I'm feeling fine, peeing and drinking a lot for the past few days. Felt very slightly nauseous this morning, but now I've had lunch it's gone. That could also be nerves as af would have been due today. Did my digital hpt and got 1-2 weeks. Also gave DH his card - it's says 'we have a winner' with a cartoon sperm! And present - a baby grow that says 'me and my dad rock out to led Zeppelin'
 
Aw, what did hubby reckon to his present MrsUnicorn?
 
He loved it. Think he was surprised at how tiny newborn clothes are! Don't think he's ever seen a newborn (in the flesh) and he's only ever held his best mates little girl who was 3 months, and she's big for 3 months!
 
Congrats all newcomers! Yes, aren't newborn clothes the tiniest/cutest?!

So I'm going to call dr. today for my blood results. Also ask if I will need an IV since I am so nauseous I can't keep water down. Can't even think about food wout getting sick. Surprised this extreme nausea started so early at 5 weeks. Maybe it's twins>!!!???!
Have almost made it 24 hours without any spotting so if this continues will put off early scan to next week when the heartbeat can be detected.

I wish I could find one thing that works for the nausea, but I can't. :(

Wishing everyone a good day!
 
Hopie, sorry you're so sick it sounds awful. And so early too. Do you have twins in the family? Try to get some rest and I hope the docs have some ideas for you. X
 
Good morning Lovies!! (East Coast US time!)

So many new weeks today!! Congrats on the milestones girls!!

Mumma!! Look at that little bean!! I cant wait for 7 weeks so the bub actually looks like a baby!:happydance::baby:
And :haha::haha: to the hippo/slug comment!! That is definitely what pregnancy feels like!

Hopie - Good luck at your doctor's appointment and so good that the bleeding has subsided for the moment!!!:hugs:

AFM - still only slight nausea here and there. No vomiting. Constipation easing. still massive and sore breasts. That is really it for me... it still so concerns me the lack of symptoms.:growlmad:
BUT!! silver lining... exactly 2 weeks till my first appointment and SCANNNN!!!:happydance:
 
Sorry about the MS hopie...hope it settles down enough for you to get some fluids and food in your system! Have you tried sea bands/preggie pops? Some people have been saying that those can help.

I'm feeling the MS pretty strong now too. Couldn't make it through ironing my DH's shirt for him before the nausea overwhelmed me. Hopefully I'll be alright at school today. High school students will know very quickly if their teacher excuses herself to go puke in the bathroom. Ugh.

Two hour delay today though...had that snow day yesterday too and a personal day on Monday. This has been a great work week so far! Haha.
 
Sorry you're so sick Hopie. I would definitely call the doctor- you don't want to get dehydrated.

Preggie pops definitely work for me, and sometimes ginger ale works, but my body doesn't really throw up very easily. I've only done so twice in adulthood and both from food poisoning last year. I just get the nausea without the throwing up part.
 
All the best to the ladies with upcoming scans/appointments, and so sorry to those with bad MS.

My friend asked me to go to Palm Springs for her bday and I just said maybe. I'm so nervous to make plans just to bail bc I feel sick. I guess we'll see. Just 5 weeks tomorrow, so from what I understand hcg is still climbing.

I slept the whole way through the night last night :happydance:! I still woke up at 6 needing to pee, eat, and drink....but that got me a good 9 hours straight.
 
Ahh, only half an hour until I can go home. Things are so quiet because the students only came back yesterday.

Hope everyone's sickness eases soon, I'm getting sick of it already!
 
Hope - I am so sorry you are so sick:( If you can't even keep water down definitely call your doc. You don't want to get dehydrated. Maybe he/she could give you some nausea mess too. I really hope you feel better soon:hugs: On the plus side, it's a very good sign your this sick. Probably means your hcg levels are great:)

I called my doctors office this morning to get my results. My doc has been away mon, tues, wed this week. The nurse looked up my results and said they looked fantastic:) Yay!! I was so happy I forgot to ask exactly what the levels were at! Lol oh well. Just happy to hear all is going well.
I am still pretty nauseous, but managing to keep down food. Luckily I can drink water and not feel sick.
 
Thank all you sweet girls so much! Seems like a lot of us are really suffering through ms here. :( I haven't tried preggie pops but should...and sea bands really do sound like they work for a lot. I fell asleep pressing on the wrist acupuncture points last night crying over this awful nausea..and at least I slept for 6 hours!
Xan- I know what you mean-- I have only ever thrown up from food poisoning too but this pregnancy seems I am every day. :(

Sleep is the only thing that brings relief so far. Waiting to hear back from dr.

A trip to Palm Springs? That sounds soo fab. But I know what you mean by not wanting to cancel due to being sick. Maybe though you are going to be one of the lucky ones who never get ms, and if you do, chances are it won't be all that bad!
Mari- congrats on the fantastic numbers!! That is such great news! I hope ms is mild for you today.

Thanks again, all!
 
Thanks for the positivity hopie :). I've had waves of nausea since 3 weeks and my mother walked around with a bucket for all of her pgs, so I'm not too hopeful that I will be a part of that lucky 15%. I seem to be able to keep it at bay as long as I eat every 1-2 hours for now, but it could get worse at that 6-7 week mark. My best friends were that lucky so they think I'm just stressing way too much, and I need to stop bc the baby feels everything I feel. They kept bugging me last night to just commit and oh there's pg pops and all for that. Still a long crowded car ride while nauseated and/or vomiting doesn't sound pleasant. I told them I'm not stressed...whatever it is, it will be worth it...I just can't say for sure for now. Ah the waiting and the unknowns :) drives me nuts sometimes but loving every minute of this first pregnancy of mine! :cloud9:
 
Lesosn - a trip to Palm Springs sounds amazing!! But I understand your worry about being in a packed car and feeling sick. We booked a Orlando trip for mid March. It will be an 18hr drive. I am hoping MS will be gone by then, but it usually doesn't let up for me until about 20 weeks. I hear you on the stressing out. I have to not let as much bother me either. Just make the right decision for you and don't let your friends pressure you. Good luck!!!
 
I know this is ridiculous, but my MS today isn't that bad, and that worries me a bit. But yesterday it was really bad, so maybe it's relative. I guess HCG doesn't rise consistently across the days so that's why you get the waves. I've always had relief at 12 weeks, but this time I started ms 2 weeks early. So who knows. My drawers at work are stuffed with trail mix now, I look like a squirrel between the nuts and the puffy cheeks!

We decided to go on a baby moon in March- a cruise to the Carribean. We both need it as work has been crazy :)
 
Great idea, I think on not stressing it and not committing yet to the road trip to Palm Springs. Just play it be ear. My gosh- your mom sure had it bad while pg.. So did mine and yes, I hear it can be the same in families.
Glad you are feeling good and just keep enjoying your first pregnancy day by day!

Xan try not to worry please. I was told once that symptoms come and go and vary each day. Awesome you get to go on a cruise in March- and you'll be feeling really good then!

Well, the doctor left me a voice mail I missed. This isn't good. She said to call me right away concerning my test results. The doctor herself never calls back (it's always been the nurse). I don't have a good feeling and probably will just go on to a loss board later or a board for (hopefully not) whatever sort of problem this is. I don't want an early loss to worry anyone on here.. I am so over 40 and that is why it's very risky for me to have this natural pregnancy. Waiting to hear back again.

Anyway, just wanted to share. I have SUCH great feelings for all of you on here, I really do!!

oh hope, I am sorry you are worried. Let's hope it just as simple as her wanting you to do a retest. My doc made me do retest when I was pregnant with my DD. She didn't think my first beta numbers were as high as they should be. But I retested again in 48hrs and all was good. My fingers are crossed for you! Sending positive thoughts:hugs:
