I am sorry to hear about your mother. They are special people who know just what it feels like to be a woman, so I'm sorry you are without her now. But that was very cool that she let you know you would be pregnant with your 4th!

 

[Dahlia2007]

Feeling any different?

I got quite a few halloween party invites and I had to turn them down because I would have some serious explaining to do if I didnt smoke or drink. Many of my friends know we are trying, I just dont want to tell everyone just yet:/

We aren't much Halloween-partiers. I was happy staying home this weekend and doing homework (although I hate homework lol). We are going out tonight with our daughter and my brother and his two kids. I'm excited for the pizza we'll be eating before trick-or-treating!

My best friend called me yesterday in a tizzy... asking about these pregnancy symptoms she's been having. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, but I told her because it just made sense at that time. Now we are wondering if she is really pregnant. We should know in about one week. She didn't know I was even trying and succeeded, and she wasn't trying herself. It would be great to be preggers at the same time as my BFF though!

Awww thats cute, let us know what she finds out

DH and I are big halloween people. We used to volunteer at a haunted house (from the time I was 14 til I was 21). Its my favorite holiday, but I was actually quite content cooking at home with him and watching a scary movie together. Not to mention the weather was AMAZING here (in tx it usually doesnt get out of the 90's until late october, early november and it was in the 50's and 60's.

I had Pizza for dinner last night and I got aweful heartburn (I NEVER get heartburn at all) and I had the craziest dream that I blame on the pizza, haha

Oh my!!!!!!!! I can tell you have done this before!! LOL!!! thats a very precise list you got there, I think I need to do the same, I think I havent yet because I feel I might jynx it and something might happen yea very optimistic of me, I know...

 

[Mrs W 11]

Wow Dahlia you are super organised! So glad we have a few ladies in the thread who have already had babies so they can give us tips - I have never even heard of a few things on your list ha ha.

I will be pleased when 12 weeks arrives for us all - I cant wait to just tell people! Its hard to hide for me as I love cheese, coffee and wine so people are so going to notice me not having coffee all of a sudden at work. I have to change my pre order for our work xmas party as I had chosen camembert starter and brie/stilton as dessert!

Any good tips on fibs to tell as to why I am not drinking coffee/alcohol etc?!

 

[Mrs W 11]

ps - Joeybrooks, sorry your dr appt was a of an anti climax. They do say to go to the drs as soon as you get your bfp so seems a bit harsh of the dr to tell you to come back in a week?

I couldnt get into my drs last friday and I cant go this week so I wont see my dr till next week and I cant wait!!

could you start having tea instead, and just say you're trying something new (tea still has a bit of caffeine in it). Coffee is also okay, but I would limit one to two cups a day, so maybe you don't really have to cut that out. And for alcohol, could you just "pretend" to have a mixed drink in your hand, when it's really just something else, and then keep it topped off all night so no one bring you a real alcoholic beverage?


You'll find out about all those baby necessities when you register ; )

 

[Mrs W 11]

I just started another thread with a few of my questions in and some ladies have said some teas (eg green and blacks) has more caffiene than coffee? I also throught decaff would be fine but another girl said that its even worse for you?!

I also wonder about dying my hair - are you ladies still doing that as I know some people dont? And nail polish/remover - is that ok?

So clueless

 

[Dahlia2007]

yes some teas are not good

Here is a link I pasted into another thread about the teas
American Pregnancy.org

Diet pop is not good. I think it has to do with the fake sugar used in diet drinks...

It's best to ask your doctor, or call the office nurse for professional verification.

not sure about your other questions. I did get two peekaboo highlights (behind my ears) during my two week wait. But I know that that problem with dying your hair is not really the chemical factor per se, but that your hair is hormonally different during pregnancy and can sometimes react badly to the dye used. But there is also the issues of the dye being too close to your scalp- it can enter your blood system then.

 

[kgriffin]

wow, dahlia, ive gotta say, that list you posted, is making me feel super overwhelmed.. ahhhhhhhhhhhh!! First time mom syndrome i guess

 

[biliboi2]

Wow that's a mega list!

Is decaff tea really not good for you? I've just switched to it from normal tea!

Sodas in general are not good (I have learned) the carbonation makes me bloated and Im already bloated enough, I don’t need anything adding to it.

I drink 1 – 2 cups of coffee a day and that has been okay’d by my doctor, so you should be fine, just keep your caffeine intake down to 200mg per day and you will be fine.

As for hair dye, I asked my doctor the same question (as well as my acrylic nails) and he said it will not affect me in any way but the smell might make me sick to my stomach which I didn’t believe because I LOVE the smell of both BUT I dyed my hair sat night and OH MY I thought I was going to throw up afterwards because it STUNK!

Just discuss things with your dr., they know whats best for YOU

Drink decaf and tell people your on antibiotics so you cant have alcohol. Tell em u have an ear infection,infected tooth or uti. Something like that.You can always tell them that your new birth control is making you sick to your stomach so you dont wanna drink?
