I think we all get that kind of worry, especially in the first tri.
For me, food wise, I'm struggling with fluids more I think. Just feeling it in my throat makes me feel quite nauseous, so I have to take tiny sips. Really struggling with hot drinks now - both times I've thrown up have involved a cup of tea or coffee. I feel better after food but it's hard to decide what I want. I've just had some of what I've done for my little girls supper, a bit of cheese omelette and some golden savoury rice. It went down OK but it's not sitting well now.

Hah that's funny mumma. I'm opposite! Coffee and peppermint tea feel so good right now, but I can't really manage more than a bite of the oatmeal or eggs.

Ladies

Everyone I've told (DH, the doctors, and my parents because they are in town and would've figured it out) didn't understand why I'm not excited. After I told the midwife yesterday that I was pregnant she asked "And, is that not a good thing?"

I've been taking long power walks to clear my mind and listening to some new music. And coming on here to hope and cheer on other beans.

Sorry if TMI, but have any other ladies been alternating between constipation and diarrhea? I hate the constipation, but then when I'm not constipated I hope for it!

Thank you all for the kind words. I know I am just overreacting and that this is a good, strong bean!! Positivity!!

Xanzaba - No such thing as TMI when TTC or carrying a bean! I have had one bout of diarrhea but other than that it has been... challenging... I am certainly not regular... The diarrhea seems like it was a fluke thing so far and hoping it doesn't make a return for good ugh!

 

[amantila]

I had diarrhea twice in the past week. Seems to have gotten better now. Just feel bloated and like I've already gained 10 pounds.

I totally understand all the anxiety as well. I don't have many symptoms yet.

Mummamoo- when I was pregnant was DS2 I felt more sick when I didn't eat. But the the morning sickness it was so hard to want to eat!!! I was not a big fan of hot drinks with my last baby either. This time I am actually wanting chamomile tea more than anything!! Hang in there

Just1more2 - sorry you are feeling so scared. These fears never went away with each of my pregnancies. But I am such a worrier!!! I worry about the lack of symptoms as well. But I think it is still early. Give us another week and we might have a lot more to complain about!!!

Zanzaba- my bowels have been crazy too!!! For the past few days it's been Dhiarhea as well, but today is better. I find my stomach and bowels really off in the first tri. The prenatal vitamins can cause constipation.

I enjoy my coffee, have done since Sophie was born and the drinking it isn't a problem, it's just after its been in there a while, it wants back out! I actually tried a little at work earlier, drinking it VERY slowly, and it stayed there, so maybe a little bit is the way to go
But mint doesn't sit well with me at all in pregnancy. Last time even brushing my teeth without being sick was a mammoth task. My fella is a gum chewer and he couldn't be anywhere near me if he had gum!

As for the constipation/diarrhoea - had neither so far, touch wood!

You ladies are wonderful. I am so glad we have this thread!

So to keep my mind off of things... Who has appointments coming up!? I have lost track, but I bet some are coming up soon!

I am really glad we have this thread too. I was on here 4 years ago and being able to talk with other pregnant moms everyday really helped me get through my pregnancy.

My first appt is on Fri @ 1020 yay!!!! My doctor will be pretty shocked to find out I'm pregnant again. I told her last fall I was so done! Lol

 

[mari35racz36]

I posted on a local mommy group this morning about what OB's are good in my area....I got over 70 responses!! Lol I'm a little overwhelmed but I think I have figured out which are the good OB's to have

 

[MummaMoo]

I'm seeing a doctor to get booked in with the Midwife next Wednesday 13th at 6.40pm. It's a locum doctor, if I wanted either of the ones I really like, I'd have had to wait over a week longer. Sucks because I really like my usual doc but my impatience overrides that!

 

[mari35racz36]

Mummamoo - I'm not sure I'll get the OB of my choice either. The really good ones get booked up super fast and then I have to take who is available. I might consider a midwife too if I can't get the OB I like.

 

[lesondemavie]

Just booked my first appointment this morning. First scan and meeting the ob all at once right around 8 weeks on 2/5/16. I researched OBs in my area long and hard. I was hoping to have met them before my BFP, but after hating the first one I kept putting it off. The center I'm going to has ok reviews, but there were two doctors with great bios, philosophies, and reviews. I hope I'm happy with my choice!

 

[xanzaba]

I have my 8 week appointment on the 20th

This is just a General Practitioner appointment to get booked n with the Midwife, we wouldn't get an OB unless there was a chance of a complicated birth (I think). Don't have choice over Midwife either, as usually it's just one assigned to the local doctors practice. My last one was lovely though, we were pregnant at the same time though so when Sophie arrived, she was off on maternity leave!

Ah, ok. My appt with just with my GP/family doc as well. She also does shared care with some OB's in the area, but I don't like those ones. Lol So she would look after until until about 32 weeks, and then the OB would take over. I would also see the OB once around 20 weeks. I love my family doc, she is amazing. But just don't like the OB's she does the shared care with. So I am hoping for full time care from the OB I want. I would deliver at hospital that is just for kids. They have one of the best neonatal units in the country. My sister was born at this hospital and thank god she was because she almost died. She had a crazy strep infection that required immediate surgery. I would possibly consider a midwife as well, but they have 2 month waiting list!! Glad that your last midwife was really good With her being pregnant as well that was a huge bonus!

 

[mari35racz36]

Feeling really good today. No sickness at all. My only symptoms still here are bloating, peeing a lot! And starting to feel very tired by the evening.

How is everyone else today?

 

[Just1more2]

Ohhhh!! Your appointments are coming right up!
Cant wait to hear how those beans are growing!

AFM - I am pretty sure I had a tiny bit of nausea this morning? Other than that still pretty much not much for symptoms.
I was laying on my back in bed last night and feeling around on my belly... I am pretty sure I feel my uterus juuuusssst above my pubic bone. It is a little hard egg shape. Is it too early to feel that? I am sure that is what it is...
Annnnnndddd... this morning I took my last IC and this is what I got!! I am officially stepping away from the tests now. I am pretty sure I cant hope for anything better than this

 

[xanzaba]

Nice line, just1more!

 

[lesondemavie]

Glad to hear you're doing so well just1! I'm planning to test the rest of the week and then step away .

I tried keeping crackers by my bed, so I could eat a bit as soon as I woke up. It totally helped! My tummy is much more settled than yesterday. Good thing since I have my weekly clinical meeting at the office early today. I also didn't get any fatigue yesterday, but I ended up working from home. I have a full day today, so we'll see how it goes!
