I've only had off and on nausea so far so thats good. I do have the raging appetite everyone is talking about though. I just can't seem to eat enough so I'm headed to the store tomorrow for some more healthy snacks to munch on.

This was so unexpected I still haven't adjusted to the fact that I'm pregnant again yet. I don't even know what stuff I still have left from the first two either. Hmmm maybe I should try to get in the storage building sometime soon and look.

Shocked the heck out of all of us, esp since one Dr was even talking about a D&C. I went to an OB yesterday, who put me on progesterone supplements, and he is confident I will carry this baby to term, and now so am I.

I'm so sick, and soooo tired. And very, very relieved- despite this being a shock, I now know I very much want this baby.

That is amazing, awesome news! I'm sure it was rough. . so great it has turned around!

Today I looked at myself in the mirror and it just hit me: Holy shit, I'm pregnant. My boobs look so DIFFERENT! Round, they're starting to look more veiny--it's crazy. It almost freaked me out, because this is the first undeniable, outward sign that I'm pregnant. Exciting, though!

Yay!! I know that must make you really happy

I broke down and bought a bra yesterday - 1 cup size bigger but the same band size. Much better! DH called it an "old lady bra" and I told him he should have seen some of the alternatives! Too bad I have no idea what size I'll be in the coming months/years - the bras at Macy's were all buy 2 get 2 free!

I sort of feel like my lower abdomen feels different when I press on it - like harder somehow. I never spent a whole lot of time pressing on my pelvic area before though so who knows Seems to early to feel different - just 5w5d today!

I don't think my breasts have changed much, if at all, yet. I'm nursing my 12 month old, so maybe that has something to do with it

My last pregnancy, I bought a new bra from Target every time my breasts went up a size, so I have a full selection to choose from this time I am a 32D right now and usually go up to a 34E (but usually have to compromise the fit for a 36DD since most places don't have 34E)

I just wanted to jump in here and say "YAY!!! My hubby is coming home today!!!" He has been in Africa for a couple of weeks, and I am so excited to see him again!!

That's awesome! Enjoy your reunion!!!

[dana76]

I wear a size 32G now. WTH??? I am seriously scared of what will happen to my girls while prego. Not only scared of saggage (which thankfully has not cursed me yet) but I am going to have face eating cleavage! Cramps are getting milder though...

I am lazier than I have ever been in my life! I'm still in bed at 12:30 pm and not feeling the least bit guilty! I may just lay here until I get bedsores!

[marziechar]

Ladies, congratulations to everyone--everyone sounds so excited! I'm am exhausted beyond belief! What is this? I wake up in the middle of the night (even though my 2 yo is sleeping through the night for the first time in 2 years!) and cannot go back to sleep. I've arrived at work/school at like 9:45/10 everyday this week--whoops.....

It's great to chat with you!

[chattyprincess]

I truly think I am going to die. Seriously? I am so SO sick. I have yet to actually vomit but I cannot eat anything. I am so queasy all day I am just miserable. I eat an english muffin in the am so I can at least take my vitamins but besides that all I can eat are clementine oranges...

ME TOO! I've actually been telling DH that I think I'm dying. I'm not vomiting either and I WISH I would so I would maybe feel better for two minutes.
All I am eating now is raspberry sherbet, gingerale, and Subway sandwiches.
And I'm only 6w3d.

[PugMom4Now]

Well, I'm 8 weeks today and this week has brought my first few eposides of vomiting. Both have been after I got home from work, so I'm wondering if it was due to the train, or just maybe I ate something both days that didn't agree with me. I'll see how it continues! I'm also always hungry and SO tired. I have no energy. I'm thrilled to be 8 weeks along though! I have an ultrasound scheduled on December 1st as I have a missing IUD... Hopefully everything's okay and I'll get to hear a heartbeat.

[slgt]

EmAndM, you must be so excited to have your hubby home!

PugMom, hope everything is ok with the missing IUD - that's a bit scary.

I am joining several of you in the sick camp. I was nauseated without relief yesterday, and threw up last night for the first time. Ugh, I was really praying it wouldn't be this bad this time around. All I want to do is curl up in bed and moan. On the up side, I had about an hour this morning of not feeling sick....so that's something, I guess.

[chachagrace]

5 weeks 3 days today, and I'm definitely in the sore/swollen boobs camp, and have been since a week and a half before I even tested positive. Then yesterday they were only a little tender, and I freaked out, thinking I might not be pregnant anymore. Well they are back to their normal painful selves today, and I'm feeling a little silly.
As far as bras, has anyone considered going ahead and buying a nursing bra? I was looking at some Bravado bras, and it seems like they might stretch more than regular bras to accommodate all the growing. Maybe that's jumping the gun?

No real nausea or food aversions yet (sorry to those who are struggling with this!) Just tired, tired, tired. Also lazy and distracted. But that last part isn't something I can really blame on baby.

We have an ultrasound on Dec. 1st. I'm very excited and nervous. Last year I had a m/c around this time (baby stopped growing around 6 weeks, I didn't find out until an 11 week ultrasound), but I've been trying to be really positive. Lots of breathing and meditating. But it feels like December is taking FOREVER to get here! It's nice to know that you ladies are out there too.

[chiromommy]

Now the vomiting has begun... 5 w2d and already with the puking. I'm not exact on the dates because I wasn't really paying attention to my last period, but I'm pretty sure it was a few days after my dad's funeral. I'm going to need an early US to figure it out.
It has been 8 years since the last pregnancy and it's all coming back to me now. I am exhausted and nauseous and my boobs feel like someone filled them up with water and then punched me. They are not much bigger than normal (34F), but so heavy and sore.
I am still dealing with the fact that I got pregnant 3 weeks after my dad died. I thought I was busy trying to deal with everything before! I won't see my midwife until Jan. but it is starting to feel real.

[chattyprincess]

so I decided to be evil today and NOT take my rainbow light once a days...and whaddya know only mild tummy problems...coincidence...I am sure. HOWEVER I have been taking these vitamins for going on 6 months with no problems so I who the heck knows.
michellebelle, at least you are consuming something with substance. My hubby is threating to force feed me some type of meat/fish/egg. I told him don't bother I will just sick it up all over him poor guy keeps offering me all sorts of anything to me to eat and nothing doing!

[GreenFlower]

I hate rainbow light prenatals. I like the brand, and have taken it before (just a woman's vitamin), and my kids have taken it. However, so far the only time I've puked this pg is when I've taken the prenatals. They're horrid on my stomach.
