Well, i've not thrown up since that horrendous incident late Friday night. That makes 4 days. I've had some gagging but nothing worse. My throat still hurts. I've never every had my throat hurt like this after vomiting. It's a lot better but there is 'something' there when I swallow that I can feel. Inflammation maybe still? I don't know.

For those of you not really showing, I didn't show til about 6 months with dd. But I popped right out after that!

What is it about typing that I have not thrown up ....I swear it's a jinyx. I just had to get up and run to the trash can to throw up. Thank goodness it was just a little liquid and a lot of gagging. I'm not going to talk about throwing up anymore!

I was on cloud nine thinking my vomitting was done and then last night...bam...:Puke ...so depressing. I ended up falling alseep right after that around 9pm. It had been 6 days that I had been feeling slightly better. I'm now 15 weeks and 2 days...yay! I've been feeling the baby on a daily basis for a few days now. My uterus is majorily protruding and it comes to just about 1-2 fingers under my belly button. I can't believe some of you are still in regular clothes...makes me feel like a cow.

I'm so sorry you threw up last night! Were you up too late? I find that I have to get to bed early or I'm throwing up. It's like a wave of night sickness. If I recall, you were having this too.

I can feel my uterus just under my belly button too, about a finger width or two. It seems to be moving up, not out at this point. My regular jeans are tight but I just unbutton the button then tuck in under and wear a loose shirt so you can't tell.

OH I go for my one and only U/S in my 20th week

I've been waiting on a HB MW to open her practice back up, and she is on Monday! So I'll go in to her.

Karen- I think last night was some fluke since I had been doing so much better. We're having tons of family stress and I think that triggered that bout of nausea/vomitting.

Amy- My u/s is on the 22nd and I'll have just turned 18 weeks! I CANNOT wait!

Just to elaborate on wearing my regular clothes,i had lost 25lbs in a few months leading up to getting pregnant so all of my clothes were huge on me and i hadn't bought any smaller clothing yet.So those bigger clothes are now snug on me

[starlein26]

Avani- Thanks for clarifying...makes me feel less ginormous...

I just got a bella band so I can still wear my old pants. So far I am loving it and it is saving us money on maternity clothes............... I'll let y'all know in a couple of months if I can still pull it off.

I went to my local home birth support group this morning... It was like MDC come to life! There were only being two other women there (the co-organisers), but I got to see cloth diapering and toddler nursing in action. Ya-hoo!!! Both of these women have had two babies each at home and one of each of those was breech. It feels so good to meet other crunchy people.

Had another appt with my midwife this morning. It went very well. I'm measuring at 18 cm (which she thinks is within normal although I'm 15 weeks) and baby's heartrate was in the 150s...

I feel the baby stronger and stronger daily which is just so exciting!

[loomweaver]

I didn't have ms but have had no appetite to speak of....
I'm at 16 weeks tomorrow and have a little bump that I think is mostly leftover from dd pushing out


My lack of energy is eating me up, my house is going to shambles and I'm really boring my 2 year old.
We're still nursing and I'm relieved because it gives me breaks
just when I need them.
So sorry to hear of everyone being so sick....

Hi mamas! I'm feeling better this week. I had a Dr. appt. today that went well. I had a bit of a shock for about 3 min though... The Dr. thought she heard 2 HBs when she listened... one on either side of my belly button several inches apart! I have a 9mo old and had visions of 3 under 2 just long enough to make me a little anxious (not that I wouldn't be ecstatic!). So she dragged me over tot he US machine (not my 1st choice but shock kept my mouth shut) and looked around in there. She only saw one precious babe and for just a moment I was dissappointed . Unless the other is a master at hidding, I'm having one beautiful child. She asked me if I wanted to know what I was having and I told her I knew already I was having a boy but that she was welcome to confirm it for herself, which she did. ...Thomas Ambrose is 16w 1day Hooray!

[CrunchyMamaToBe]

Oh oh oh, congratulations on your boy, MamaRainebeau!!!

[starlein26]

Wow MamaRainebeau!! Your nun friend was right again! Congratulations on your son...how wonderful to know. I can't wait myself!

[Twice as nice]

Congrats MamaRainebeau! I cant wait to find out what my lil muchkins are I have been getting lots of boy/girl vibes, but wont know for sure till the 23rd

[starlein26]

I find out the day before you Natalya...I'm SO excited!!

[Avani]

Cool,a boy!I love lil boys and i suspect this one in my belly is a boy.Especially because if i have a girl that will make 4 girls i will be raising!Ack..

I skipped my midwifes this week.I wasn't sure i was going to keep her since she is going to be in Costa Rica for my due date but she is being so good to me and helpful in the way of money that i think i must hold on to her.I am pretty positive i will deliver around Oct 7-8 though so she would for sure miss it.Luckily my friend is a trained midwife and i can count on her to help me out.

Still working on the tiredness issue but nursing all night is not helping.Need more sleep.

[starlein26]

Man, I've had a resurgence of m/s...threw up the last 3 nights...

I'll be 16 weeks tomorrow and I thought I was through the thick. We've been a little busier lately since I feel less tired so maybe my body is telling me to slow down a bit?

How's everyone else doing?
