Mon- did I read you r having a girl or was that just a prediction for now?
Congrats!

Glad you are ok after the fall Heavyheart! That would be scary.

I had u/s and it's twins with heartbeats! 104 bpm on each and each measuring 5+6 , I'm 6 wks today. So it was amazing- I'm so happy.

HeavyHeart- glad that everything is ok!

Hopeful- That's great news!!

I'm at 7 wks today I'm really looking forward to my u/s this Friday!!

I'm still feeling icky- makes it hard to want to be at work.

 

[DaisyBee]

Mon- nice to see you!

Heavy heart- how scary... Hope you and baby are doing fine.

Hopeful how exciting!! For heartbeat stage and twins as well!! Double exciting! I am so happy for you! Must be such a relief for you to see heartbeats after all you have been through.

Future- only a few more days to wait! Sorry you are feeling icky though. It's no fun! But so worth the reason!

 

[hopeful23456]

thanks girls! hey - are you eating deli meats? I just ate 1/2 potbelly ham sandwich and reheated other 1/2 in microwave a couple hours later and now am nervous. i'm guessing it's no big deal but are you eating deli meats?
isn't that sun outside misleading in MN? It's 18 degrees out

 

[DaisyBee]

You have sun? We haven't seen the sun all day... It's been lightly snowing most of the day! Funny how it's so different an hour away!

I am eating deli meat as long as it's been heated to steaming first. So I have places heat it, and at home I stick the meat in the microwave for 30 seconds.

But not everyone follows that rule... And they are fine... So not sure how big of worry it really is.

 

[hopeful23456]

good - thanks for that - I microwaved for 40 secs

yeah - I was driving to my u/s and it's only 5 minutes up the road to the north, I went from clouds to SUN on the drive - it was like a miracle. we had flurries before that. it's all clear now.

 

[DaisyBee]

. Must be a sign!

It's bright and sunny here! Too cold to be out for long though- brr!

Lol- I probably would eat deli meat... if I was eating...

j/k I do eat, but most things aren't that appealing right now. I had a pear cup for breakfast. I ate a bowl of cereal for lunch, and that's all for today so far. I am getting hungry again- too bad that there isn't anything I'm craving. When do the aversions stop and cravings start??

 

[DaisyBee]

I had horrible aversions with Megan... And all smells made me sick which didnt help. The smell when I opened the fridge or the empty garbage can. Smell of bananas, ketchup, etc. I had some days with her during first tri the only thing I ate for breakfast was plain lays potato chips... Which I normally NEVER eat. The only thing I wanted during both first tris was carbs. I'm amazed your eating fruit! Fruits and veggies turned my stomach! My vomiting for both stopped by 10 weeks and most icky feelings were gone by 12 weeks. My worst weeks were 7/8. I did have cravings for carb stuff during first tri... I would all of a sudden just have to eat it... If I heard someone talk about a certain food... It sounded soooooooo good and I wanted it so bad, half the time if i decided to act on that it didn't taste good once I ate it. Lol 2nd tri with Megan til the end I craved tomatoes. Fresh on salads, tomato soup, sauce w noodles. I couldn't get enough. Also craved a lot of cereal with milk later on and milk in general. This time I haven't noticed any big cravings. Chocolate... And Arby's roast beef? Lol it's not like my tomato craving with Megan though.

im so sorry ladies im terrible! I forgot about this thread for a few days, so i had some catching up to do.

i apologize, im 10 weeks now, probably still measuring a week behind, but i have my next doc's appointment on monday, but no date for an ultrasound yet. hoping to get another one soon, i have started to announce this pregnancy already :S

 

[DaisyBee]

Hi Kate! Yay for 10 weeks! How have you been feeling? Any symptoms?

My worst symptoms now are heartburn, and my hips and whole pelvic area hurting, sciatica sometimes.

I was telling people At toddler class today about my lack of pregnancy journal this time ( with Megan I kept a journal in a notebook... It was full of things I was feeling and thinking. What happened when kind of thing) and they couldn't believe I was so far pregnant- that I don't look pregnant. So thinking to those who don't know me I just look fat I guess... As my belly is past my huge boobs. lovely!

 

[kgriffin]

daisy im sure you dont look fat! im just tired and i have sore breasts, and the tiniest bump there ever was hah, its exciting! had a scan at 8+1, but i was measuring 7+1. i go to the doctors on monday, i guess im still a bit nervous, but i havent had any spotting so i hope that means all is well in babyland!

 

[DaisyBee]

I'm sure all is fine! It's hard not to be nervous for all of us I think.... No matter what the tests show or the dr says etc. I was very tired in first tri. I think I napped every chance I got. I got more energy by 2nd tri... But still have more tiredness then before pregnancy.

Im going to try to get dh to take some pics... So I can see what I look like. Lol

Daisy-
I've been eating pasta a lot with red sauce- so I guess I like carbs and tomatoes too
Last night I had Schwan's oriental wingz, krunchie wedges, and green beans. For the whole day I'd only taken in about 900 calories- I never thought I'd be eating so little. I used to eat around 2300 calories per day before I started watching what I was consuming. I had just started to loose weight prior to finding out I was pg- and it is still coming off. In some ways I'm looking forward to seeing the scale go back up again- but it is the lowest I've ever been (since high school).

Kate- I was wondering where you were hiding. My boobs are sore too.

 

[kgriffin]

yes daisy take pictures'~~

future - i seem to be hungry more, but eating less, strange.

 

[DaisyBee]

I was hungry more often in first tri... But couldn't eat as much. One of the only things that helped my nausea was having food in my stomach. So I ate quite often. I didn't really gain any weight in first tri... But think that I've put on way too much the past month. My next appt is next Monday the 12th and am scared to see the scale! Between Halloween candy from megans trickortreating, bday parties, and my sudden feeling like cooking comfort foods I'm sure I've put on quite a bit. I was hoping not to put on much til Xmas... As I'm sure I'll eat too much then too!

Future... There is plenty of time to put on weight.... I wouldn't worry about that! It seems to come out of nowhere the further you get.

 

[kgriffin]

im not looking forward to the weight gain lol., daisy, do you mind if i ask how much weight you put on with megan? im hoping to only gain 25 but my husband says there is no way. the doctor hasn't even weighed me yet, is that strange? i also see the doc again on the 12th. i hope she gives me another ultrasound req, im anxious

 

[DaisyBee]

I gained 32lbs... But that was more then they wanted me to gain since i am overweight. Since i was induced I swelled up like a balloon the week after delivery ( water.... My feet were huge! ) so didn't weigh myself til the swelling went down. I was down 22 lbs I think. And lost 10 lbs within the next few months. I then lost more weight.... Which started coming back on bit by bit... After each miscarriage.

I'm not as worried about it this time... As I know I can get it off... But still would prefer to gain more later vs now.

I get weighed at every visit.... Pregnancy related or not. Standard at my hospital... Maybe yours doesn't weigh as often?

 

[kgriffin]

thanks daisy, i agree that i would rather gain it later than so early on, but im only 10 weeks, my pre pregnancy weight is 155, but im only 5"2 so i dont carry the extra weight well, i hope i can lose the weight, and more, but who knows, im jsut blessed to be pregnant really
