Yup, I'm still battling the m/s. Nothing works, but I do love V8 and lemon drops. I'm getting anxious, my first doc's appt is next monday, I feel like after I see him, and everything seems ok, I can start to tell ppl that I am pg, plus I will be 10 wk pg next wk, I cannot believe the first tri is almost over. I'm still tired, but it's getting a little bit better. Still BFing my 11 mo old 4X a day, supply still seems ok so far (knock on wood). I am starting to show a little, my regular pants are definitely feeling uncomfortable. So, time to wear stretchy pants.

I'm 10.5 weeks and the nausea is going away...I still have some but not as much and for not as long!

Went to our first mw appointment Monday - they are great - spent 2 hrs w/me. The mw did go a bit off when she measured me and said I was "more like 10 or 11 weeks!"...I said um, I'm 9 weeks and 6 days right now...isn't that almost 10 weeks? Otherwise though she was cool and laid back.

None of my jeans fit - I'm all about black stretchy pants and sweats, lol.

Something I've noticed...my outlook is totally different than pre-pg. I'm calmer, more patient w/DD, less fixated on stuff I used to be obsessed about, more interested in keeping the house clean and cooking. It's VERY weird but I really like it (I am SO not a house-cleaner or cook normally!).

Hungry again....must go find something!

I'm nearly 10 weeks and still with bad m/s. This m/s is nothing compared to what I had with my previous two, especially my last when I had to get IV fluids regularly until I was about 15 weeks. The fact that I am only nauseated and vomiting but not dehydrated is pretty good, I guess.

I do get episodes of extreme hunger, too -- another shocker for me compared to previous pregnancies...

The only downside is that I usually lose about 15 lbs in the first 20 weeks of pg so I gain only 10-15 lbs over pre-preg weight. So far, no weight loss. But I definitely should not be complaining....

So sorry to hear about all of you with m/s. None for me, but I'm SOOOOOOOOOO tired :yawning: ALL THE TIME!

I'm at the end of eight weeks. I'm poochy in my stomach and all my shirts have gotten considerably shorter due to my stomach and the increased size of my breasts. Holy cow, batman!

We chose a mw this week and we'll have our first appt. in the coming week or so. Wish we could all go shopping together for the dreaded maternity clothes to make it at least a bit funner.

Take care everyone.

I'm 12 weeks, due august 4th. This is my first post to this particular section of the forums. I m/c back in April and it was a long road to this pregnancy, so of course I still have my worries. (Read Quinn's page if you want the full scoop).

I started showing (in my mind) about 2 weeks ago and already purchased some bigger "pregnancy" pants. I am already a plus-sized girl so the one advantage there id going to the same store and just getting the next size up in pants with an elastic waistband and being set for hopefully several months with my pants.

I had nausea for two solid months but never vomitted, so have had no problems already gaining weight (*sigh*). But the faqtigue seems unending, and sometimes worse than ever. I can barely get myself out of bed some days I am so tired, and when I do, I basically drag myself to the sofa and lay back down with my laptop (not on my lap).

SO. TIRED.

We've decided not to to any doppler or ultrasounds until the Level 2 we'll have at 21 weeks to see the heart. We just don't want to risk anything.

I've been crazy and hormonal already, and I can relate to those who said they want to eat but nothing sounds good. I alternate between that and having REALLY fickle cravings. Like I see it on TV or the net or hear it said and I want it. But then I don't, and I don't know what I want. So I have found the deli and hot food bar at Whole Foods to be my best friend. Because I am WAAAYYY too tired to cook anything.
