hi everyone

 

[ClaireNicole]

Hi girly!

 

[ClaireNicole]

Ok here is my dr. appt update!!!

I get there and they ask me if I've taken a pregnancy test NO... my psychic told me I was preggers and I decided to make an appt! So I pee in the cup and get escorted to my room and guess what! Its was ! Who would have guessed lol. So I went in and the nurse tells me that the dr. isn't even going to do an exam!!! I was like.... are we going to wait untill I'm 4 months preggers to check my blood work and vajayjay or what... so I was already a little disappointed. Then my Dr. comes in. She is AMAZING! I couldn't even be upset! Shes funny and smart and she seemed honestly just as excited about me being pregnant as I was! She got a full verbal medical history and asked about all my symptoms and then... I heard the babys HB!!!!! Just for a minute because he was squirming all over!!! But it was amazing! THEN she asks if I want an early unltrasound just because we didn't know exactlyyyyy how far along I am, I'm saying 9 weeks 2 days shes saying 9 weeks 5 days, which is a total bs reason to have an early ultrasound but I think she just knew I wanted to see the baby SO Tomorrow I go in for an ultrasound!!!!! She rescheduled me for about a month to do the whole work up thing, which I think is a bit late but thats how it goes I guess.

Oooh and she told me if my migrains are bad she would perscribe me flexerol (sp?) does anyone know anything about that?

anyway Yay for the baby!!!

yay!! that's so exciting!! I read it wrong, thought you had an ultrasound today It is hard to keep track on here! Wonderful that you heard the heartbeat. Can't wait to see your little bean! Sounds like a great appointment as well, nice that she was so excited for you. Congratulations since I don't think I said it before and you're already 9 weeks!

Hi All-
I'm feeling kinda freaked out because I feel like I can't get enough oxygen or something. I've been getting out of breath really easily for the last week or 10 days, and with my stuffy nose, I can only breathe through my mouth. And it feels like I need to take super deep breaths to get enough oxygen. I've heard this can happen a bit, but I wonder if I'm feeling panicky about it and it makes it worse.
Anyone else have this sensation in first trimester??

I'm also having serious problems with constipation. I tried some metamucil and that helped me go a little bit, but not much, so it seems like all the food I've eaten in the last week is just sitting inside of me. It's really gross. My belly is all distended. I bought some prunes, too, which I really should take but I've been nauseated at the thought of eating them (and I normally think they taste pretty good).
Any advice?

Sorry to sound so complain-y, but I'm feeling a bit freaked out!

Hope you all are doing well

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups high fibre bran cereal (original all-bran)
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup of grated carrots
1 cup of canned crushed pineapple
1 3/4 cup of buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg lightly beaten
grated orange rind (optional)

1. lg bowl stir together flour, cereal sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, pineapple, carrots
2.add buttermilk, oil, egg, stirring until just combined
3. spoon into greased muffin non stick muffin pans
4. bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes

Hibiscus: I make these muffins when I'm really constipated. They clean me out like nothing else! I imagine it has a lot to do with the all bran but if I just eat all bran it's not the same for some reason. You can substitute for any fruits or nuts same amount but I found carrot and pineapple work well for pooping. I've also used grated apple with carrot and that worked too. You should get the breathing problem checked out, have you ever had asthma or allergies? I've heard it can get better or worse during pregnancy. Maybe there's something that can help you breathe a bit better. Hope you can breathe easier soon and have a good poop! I don't know what else to suggest for the constipation though, I'm all about the muffins!

Thank you! I'm going to make these. They sound really yummy.

I do actually have a history of allergies and asthma, which I've been getting allergy shots for, over the last 2 years. The allergies have come back and I have had to use my inhaler a couple of times recently. The out-of-breath feeling doesn't feel much like asthma, oddly. My chest isn't tight or anything. I wonder if it's just from having more blood to pump or something. I probably just need to chill a bit about it.

Morning ladies! Got my meds for sinus infection yesterday and am feeling much better now. I've also gotten my sleep patterns better established! No more insomnia! Used to get up at 2-3 am and stay up for the day but now I just get up to potty and I can go back to be till 6.

I've had some serious pig outs lately too! So happy I can stuff myself now.

Nicole---
I made your muffins last night! The only difference is that I replaced the carrots with unsweetened applesauce. SOOO yummy! I had two last night and one this morning.
And guess what....
I pooped!!! I never thought I would be so excited in my life. Those muffins are a Christmas (or springtime ) miracle!

I highly recommend your recipe to everyone on here if any of you run into...similar problems.

 

[nicole3108]

yay!! you pooped!!! I was giddy that you went, everday I think I say something a little bit stranger. I'm going to try them with applesauce next time, never thought of that. My uncle gave me the recipe from one of his heart health cookbooks. I am so happy they worked for you too!

 

[ClaireNicole]

HEREEEEEEE THEY ARE!!!!!!! this is my little alien! I him so freakin much already!!!!!
