TTC and Beyond!

I think it's totally fine, Molly! Tuna and shrimp etc are fine in small portions and a great source of lean protein and omega 3's. I'm sure the mayo is pasteurized or whatever, like the kind out of the jar, so even though there's eggs in it they're ok to eat! Just stear clear of like homemade mayo that uses fresh egg yolk...who has time for that?! Lol

Cassidy-Thanks! Same here! I can NOT wait to see what they are!!!

Molly-This is the website I've been using for fish guidelines. Fish is good for you and baby, just limit the amount and watch the type.

Sonia-No idea what to do to improve those...How often have you been nauseous? I'm sure all is fine, my doc office had no problem fitting us in for a quick scan to make sure all was ok and to ease my mind. If it keeps worrying you, you might give them a call just so you can relax.
 
Thanks Julie i called my dr today and they just asked me to do another hcg test....say whaaaa!!!! well i am going in tomorrow...lets c how tht helps...also i just realised ive been eating sunny side up eggs this whole time...every other day ... feel like kicking myself :cry:

Red meat turns me off hun...no sound of meat doesnt sound appealing to me at all...im so sad about tht...i just wanna eat boiled rice and some lentils and sauteed veggies...BOORRRRIIIINGGGG!!!!!!!! Also being from india i feel terrible tht i hate all the indian curry smells right now...if i smell oil my head reels... :( dono wat to eat....aaahhh fruits r my saviour :flower:
 
Hmmmm...not even a big burger?? LOL...sorry hehe, that's like alllll I want!! Meat and tomatoes. Which is weird bc I never liked raw tomatoes...

Anywho, you need some iron! Here's a link for iron rich veggies!! Xx https://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/fruits-and-vegetables-high-in-iron.php
 
Lol Kara when my sister was preggo she craved tomatoes constantly. Se always wanted sandwiches with big juicy sliced tomatoes and she craved salsa nonstop
 
Sonia, I had anemia in my last pregnancy and took Floradix (on amazon) every morning, it totally helped a ton! Its safe and recommended in pregnancy and its not a pill and doesnt cause constipation like most iron supplements. It's like a juice you take a shot of :)
 
I've been having serious tomato cravings, too. Like I huge, juicy, sprinkled in salt!!! Mmmm you all have me drooling over them.

Julie I'll be stopping by Red Robin this weekend thanks to your post, ever tried their campfire sauce? It's a special bbq & ranch concoction and it's oh so yum. Along with those juicy seasoned steak fries and a burger (no runny egg for me, either ;)) and just- YUM! Lol

AFM- Only Tuesday? Lol comeonn week, I'm ready to see my little bean! :cloud9:
 
Wow you are having your gender scan early, it must be an elective one you're paying for right?
 
Yes I'll be 15+4 that day, so super early. I thought it was worth the 50 bucks to get to get some extra shopping time in ;) Can't wait!
 
Yessssss Morgan, huge tomatoes with salt, tomatoes on grilled cheese, tomato soup, tomato sauce!! LOL!!

I think we are going to cancel our gender scan and just be patient and wait until the 21st. It's making us both anxious that they might not be able to tell 100% and the place is an hour away and will basically blow a whole Saturday that we could be using for house prep and stuff....DH is more against it then me and I'm okay waiting. BUT I definitely am counting the days till the 21st!! 29 to be exact, that's not that bad!! :)
 
We had grilled cheese per my request lastnight (was craving it all dayyy) and I drank a gallon of tomato soup ;)

And about the scan- I mentioned the same thing to DH lastnight.. Like we reallllyyy can't wait 2 more weeks? Idk it is very close and cheap which is why I'm still okay but another part of me feels like it is a waste and that the suspense is half of the fun!
 
Morgan- I LOVE campfire sauce... I even put it on a salad when I get one at Red Robin!
 
Yes I'll be 15+4 that day, so super early. I thought it was worth the 50 bucks to get to get some extra shopping time in ;) Can't wait!

That is cool! Wish we had the option...closest one is 2.5 hours away.
 
Well that would be quite a drive! How are you feeling emotionally/physically? Clinging to the good book? I have been! It's been very tough for me, dealing with confusing emotions.. Being pregnant again.. it's all so surreal still. I hope things are well with you! :)
 
So I called off work today :/ Pretty sure everyone at work is pissed because we have a huge visit from corporate tomorrow which means a lot of work needing done today but I just can't do it.

I worked an 8 hour shift yesterday and my SPD was acting up. On top of that I had some nasty sciatic pain so I was waddling and hobbling around my whole shift. At one point my foot started to cramp up so bad. I had to sit down for like 15 minutes and stretch it out (it was similar to charlie horse pain.) Straight up miserable. I got home from work at 11 and would have had to be back in at 9am and worked until 5:30 but I can hardly walk today. My pelvis is killing me. Even just sitting here with my legs together (they say keep your knees together as much as possible to relieve SPD pain) it just aches so bad. It feels like you're being ripped in half and like you've taken a donkey kick to the lady business. So I called off work & I already have tomorrow off for my OB appointment.

This is a new OB for me. Same practice as last time but just a new doctor and I found out last night from several local women who see her that she actually believes in SPD. My 2 previous OB's didn't think it was a real condition and just is regular pregnancy pain (which it's totally not because I've been pregnant without SPD before) but my current OB acknowledges it for what it really is. There's nothing she can do to "cure" it but having her believe me when I say how bad the pain is means so much. She can sign me off work if/when the time comes (with Hannah I was due in May but went on an early maternity/medical leave in January because of it) and maybe a referral for a chiropractor or physiotherapist.

Anyway... not looking forward to going back to work on Thursday.
