Luckily, I got my x-rays before I got pregnant. I knew I was doing IVF and wanted to take care of as much as possible before pregnancy. However, I had a lot of work done and my insurance ran out for 2012 so we had to postpone to 2013....

Thanks ladies for the compliments and support. The nodules are now a skin infection :-(. Hoping that my OB will give me some antibiotics tomorrow and/or make a recommendation as to next steps. I was supposed to go back to the internist...

Have you considered the possibility of weight from more muscle? Muscle is very heavy and if you are using weights, then you are likely developing more muscle.

I do heat up my deli meat, but I still drink peppermint tea even though some books say to avoid peppermint when really the only issue is if it's in medicinal doses.

Tillymonster- Mine was at 6w5d and what was your office thinking doing an ultrasound that early?

Sphinxy- For me, knowing the reasoning behind the warnings helps me make decisions on what really isn't safe and what is CYA for doctors, FDA, etc.

Yeah, I know what you mean. One reason I'm loving it so much is because we had problems growing with my boys, so growing quickly is a huge, wonderful thing for us.

GISDiva- Thanks. LOL. If it isn't your first pregnancy, it's totally normal. I'm 2 weeks behind you and already look like that. I had to get into the large maternity pants that afternoon. I absolutely love watching my belly grow...

CMU204- You can buy frozen lemonade and Italian ice in the store. That's what I did :-). Today, for dinner I had bread with avocado. Trying to figure out what to eat now for a bit more protein.
