Hey ladies

I thought we would just do one thread a month for now and if we need more, then we'll go back to weekly. If you remember before me to post the new thread, please feel free to do so and put the link to the new thread in the last post of the previous one.

How is everyone doing? I feel like yuck most of the time. Things just will not stay in my stomach - one way or another, they're right back out again. Sorry if TMI

Hope you're all having a great week!!

Im 6wks 3days, Im really really tired and just want to sit on the couch lol. This morning I woke up with that underlying yucky feelings so I made myself drink a bottle of water and eat two pieces of toast with butter. I feel better

Guess I have to force myself lol

Still have decided not to tell family till October just incase. Im going to have to concel the tummy for awhile. So far so good.

I'm almost 7 weeks. I'd love to tell my family but I'm not yet comfortable to do that. Maybe in a week or two. I'm feeling mostly great. Super tired but otherwise healthy and happy.

Same here with the yucky tummy. Not too bad though, just a little nausea once in a while. If I make sure to eat protien regularly, then it subsides.

I REALLY want to wait until the beginning of November to tell everyone (dh too) because we want to find out what we're having and make that how we announce, "We're expecting a little ___ in May 2010" type thing. Not sure that my tummy will cooperate though. lol I would only me 3 months, but considering it'd be the 4th baby growing in there, and I already have a belly flap from the last kid...we shall see.

Not to mention, but what does everyone else say about not feeling well? Before I actually got pg this time around, if I even mentioned being tired one day or not feeling up to par, the first thing out of someones mouth was, "are you pregnant".

LOL, I'm not laughing at anyone just giggling.

I woke today with a pain in my lower left back, it's super uncomfortable to walk around or sit, and it's buggin' me out. I just don't want to have pain in my pregnancy, sickness i'm ok with, pain, not so much. Blah blah blah

I was super nauseaus last evening, I think it was my folic acid pills tho, and not from the babe, woke up fine. Gagged when brushing my teeth, felt fine after. A bit hypoglycemic when I didn't get enough in my stomach. Went to the office (meeting was canceled, no one told me

: AGAIN!!!). I was buying maternity dresses before pregnancy because I'm not comfortable with my weight (still had 10lbs to lose from having BMB) and I don't like tight clothes, maternity just hangs well and no one could tell, so I got another cute one!! bought some 18-24 months clothes for BMB since he doesn't have any winter clothes, (they are so stinkin cute too!!) and were buy one get one 1/2 off at babies r us, so $15 for 2 FULL outfits, top & bottoms. He's a doll anyway, so I'm excited.

Talked about carseats last night. We like BMB's Maxi Cosi Priori convertable seat and think we'll get another for this little one. Ok, I'm off...

 

[guest9933]

Tenk - You have just 10 pounds to lose from the last??? I WISH I only had 10 pounds from the last. I'd like to lose 30!! Of course, that won't happen now. lol. Although, the 1st trimester I always lose weight anyways...is 30 too much to ask?
I too have a bad gag reflex to teeth brushing. Bleck! i hate that.

 

[Jlcampbellkidz]

I wanted to loose atleast 30lbs before even considering another. A little nautious throughout the day but mostly at night. Super Super Super tired.

Hi! I'm thinking this is a good place to join in

Just got my BFP today and reality hasn't set in.
I recognize a few names from May '08 DDC as well as nursing mamas TTC!

No obvious signs of pregnancy yet, just a little "full" feeling but otherwise doing great. I know that will change shortly!

Whoot, glad to see ya here mama!!!

I'm 6 weeks, and the nausea and tiredness is really catching up with me. I had been trying to take a nap each afternoon, but of course that's easier said than done. At least with the nausea, if I eat, it subsides,...but I constantly feel like I'm going to fall asleep standing up.

I switched OB's, so my first prenatal is now Sept. 18, not the 11th. I think I'm one of the few who would rather have my first prenatal closer to the end of the 1st trimester, rather than right away. I'm always certain of my dates though, so there's not really a need to get in and have dates confirmed.

 

[jecombs]

I'm actually feeling much better this week, yea! I have felt like crap for the past 1 1/2 weeks. I don't know how long this is going to last, but I'll take it while I can get it!

 

[LilMama23]

I'm 6 weeks, 2 days today - and the morning sickness has arrived. I've been wearing the Sea Bands, eating small meals, and eating those Preggie Drops and crystallized ginger like there's no tomorrow. But I still feel awful.

I have an ultrasound next Wednesday and the plan was to tell our families after we saw the heartbeat and were sure that everything was okay. Except with me being so sick, I don't know how much longer we can keep it a secret.

 

[[email protected] mama]

I'm 5 weeks tomorrow. Tired a lot. Achy uterus, sore back, super-human sense of smell.

Feeling good. Just cautiously excited.

 

[Jlcampbellkidz]

Sickness hit hard today. Kinda all day long. Whoo hoo, strong pregnancy I'm guessing, since I've not experienced this with the previous 4

Nothing like some uke to make me smile and say yay baby yay, certainly never admired puking before but it's encouraging to me.

Boobs also turned the sore corner today and Im feeling rather bloated.

 

[PinkPantherDiva]

I'll be 5 weeks on Friday. The nausea hit me hard Monday, and I found out on Sunday!
It's worse early in the morning and early evening. My pants are already fitting tight, and I can't lay on my belly. It's my 3rd pregnancy so maybe that has something to do with it?

The other day i was cramping off and on. I've also got that round ligament pain going on.
This is the only part of pregnancy I don't really care for.

 

[mrsb422]

morganstar I hear ya on concealing the belly…so far, so good, but I'm nervous. I have my 10 year HS reunion at the end of November and would love to not be in maternity clothes. Yeah right…I'm really dumb if I think that's going to be a reality!! By the end of 8 weeks I was in maternity clothes with DS. I'm

: that it isn't that soon this time. SO not looking forward to being back in those clothes!

hopeful2009 Can they detect gender at 3 months? I thought it had to wait until 20 weeks. That would be awesome to know so soon!!

Tenk I'm with you on the evening nausea. Morning, ironically, is the best time for me. As soon as it hits noon-ish timeframe, I'm done for the day. It is really annoying. I miss food! I have 10 lbs to lose from DS too…I gained 75 with him though, so I'm good with a few extra hanging around. Losing all that weight was horrible and I'm so glad it's gone. I would be lying if I said I wasn't upset about gaining it all again and am hoping it won't be so bad this go-around. 75 lbs was just ridiculous!

Kalopsia I hate that first appointment with the OB because they change your EDD. If you know when you conceived, then it is pretty simple to figure out. Why do they insist on going by LMP?? So annoying!

LilMama23 Do you find the sea bands are helping? I didn't realize how expensive they were. I bought them yesterday, but unfortunately they only seem to be cutting off my circulation

. I have really bad circulation, but really small wrists so I'm not sure if that's why they're not really helping.

[email protected] mama

at your "super-human sense of smell" - I have that one big time and it is driving DH nuts!! I keep wandering around the house like a blood hound - sniffing the air and going "don't you smell that??" I've smelled everything from gas to bacon to poop…he's not amused but I think it is pretty funny

PinkPantherDiva

on the ligament pain…that is NOT fun.

Hi everyone

So glad we've finally got a real thread going on

: Been feeling pretty much like crud. I can't eat past noon without puking. When I do get something to stay in my stomach long enough to not upchuck, it comes out the other way with a vengeance…sorry TMI. I had the opposite problem with DS though and that is absolutely THE worst!! I stopped nursing my DS in April, right around when we began TTC, and I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to having a nursling again. Considering unweaning DS when the new baby is born…maybe it'll help with the adjustment??

Thoughts?? I know Mothering Magazine had an article about unweaning a few months ago and it really just hit me somewhere deep.

 

[Jlcampbellkidz]

today is a little better. I bought some ginger tea and it's really good. Hoping it can continue to help with the nautia.

Who's planning waterbirth? My 1st two were land births, last two were water and DH caught. I just cant imagine delivering anywhere but in the water, for me atleast

Hey, do those things actually work? The nausea has really hit me lately and it seems much worse than in previous pregnancies. Might want to try these out. The tiredness is kicking my butt too. In the past I've had fabulous pregnancies, just a touch of nausea and not tired at all. Nope, not this time, lol. At least I have some confirmation that I am actually pregnant!

i wouldn't say they WORK in that i am still super sick all day long, but they take the edge of. when i'm not wearing them (like when showering) i get that dizzy-nauseated that is just UNBEARABLE. so i swear by them.

Hi all! Love checking in with you and hearing how everyone's doing.

I'm at 5 weeks 3 days and I'm definitely feeling the hormonal upsurge... woke with a migraine and had to call in sick to work. I can't even go to an event I was required to attend to this afternoon, and I generally just feel like a bad-at-my-job, tired-mommy flake. I sort of wish everyone knew (even though I'm glad they don't), because then at least they'd understand there was a reason behind this. I hate letting people down!
