Just checking in. Nothing much going on here. Most food seems bland or unappealing. I can't really find anything that I'm excited to eat. Still no morning sickness though, just no real appetite.

Welcome newbies!

christie-I wish I had a lack of appetite-did not weigh myseld this am, but I am almost positive I ganied 3 lbs already and I am not even 8 weeks yet...ahhh!!!!

 

[MissAnnabelle]

I feel the same way. I am eating larger portions than I usually do...will have to try to contain myself. Also - why do pickles have to have so much sodium?

 

[No Doubt]

I know I've gained 3lbs, lol. My obgyn told me not to gain anymore weight throughout pregnancy, I'm 196 right now, then tells me make sure to eat 2200 calories a day. Ummm...yeah, I can do that, lol.

 

[almosthere]

lol I have yet to be weighed, I am sure I will discuss weight gain thursday at my first ob prenatal apt. And funny pickles were mentioned-it was my first craving, how cliche!!! LOL I have been craving vinegar/salt b.c I want pickles and lots of italian dressing!!! LOL

 

[MissAnnabelle]

Maybe it is something with the vinegar because I dump out some of the pickle juice and fill it with white vinegar....lol

Hay Ladies, I to have had a major increase in my eating as I feel nauseas all the time I think that it will help but when I weight myself last week I was surprised to see no weight gain but I have my first specalist appointment tomorrow and they will weigh me there so we will see what my eating over the weekend did lol

 

[TwoRdue]

In my last pregnancy I put on 8kg in 17 weeks thats 17 huge pounds but my specialist said it was ok as I was so small to begin with that the extra weight would not hurt?? Well that much weight gain worries me this time around

 

[MissAnnabelle]

Good luck at your appointment tomorrow Twordue It is nice to know that I am not alone in my eating

 

[TwoRdue]

You sure are not lol, try and enjoy i and thank you

I have a bit of both. I have days where don't want to not eat anything at all, nothing sounds appetizing and just really don't have an appetite. Then there are days like yesterday and today where I just about eat everything in sight. Weird! My symptoms def seem to come and go. They aren't constant at all. I have like 3 or so day spurts of no symptoms and then they seem to come back again.

Good luck with appt tomorrow two!

Welcome NG.

Broody - I so can't knit but I love to sew. Once I find out if it's a boy or girl, I want to sew a few little things for baby. My mom sewed all my baby clothes! I also have an overnight bag pattern and fabric already - I was thinking it would make a good bag to take to the hospital.

Yeahhh Almost for EDD buddies!

 

[Christie2011]

Almost - It's a wives tale that craving salty food means it's a boy.... I wonder if your body is telling you something

Sweet cravings are supposed to mean it's a girl.

 

[No Doubt]

Good luck tomorrow Two!

I'm craving Italian food. I had a meatball sub on Thursday, chicken parm on Friday, and I just made spaghetti today...yummy! This baby is going to love bread and pasta, lol.

Pregnant women talking about food! How clichéd can you get?!
This evening I went to my parents for a family dinner with some aunts and uncles (who don't know I'm pg) Ended up eating way too much and my stomach has been in bits for the last few hours! Major bloating and indigestion. Had to leave them all sitting at the table and go lie down on the couch! I think I've learned my lesson about over-eating now!

Snowflake - sewing stuff sounds fab!! Can't wait to see some of your little creations! I went and bought some wool and a crochet hook today and spent the day teaching myself to crochet using YouTube! I've never crocheted in my life and it took a while to get the hang of it but I'm getting there! Dh thinks its hilarious! Have started on a blanket so once it's finished I'll put a photo up

 

[No Doubt]

I'll have to try to teach myself using YouTube. Would love to actually make a blankie for my little Thumper.

 

[GettingBroody]

Some of the videos are fantastic!! Really easy to follow

Two - good luck with your apt! (Is it today or tomorrow? The time difference has me all confused!)

 

[TwoRdue]
