Hellobee Boards

@Snowdrop: @MOJ: @Happygal: Welcome and congratulations ladies! How exciting!

@Radish: That happened to me at around 5am on Thursday morning. I woke up and my stomach wouldn't stop growling. Yikes!

I spent the day buying new clothes because of my tummy right now. If this is bloating, it's the worst I've had! I don't think it is at this point and I'm up a cup size. I would love to attribute this to all of the yummy foods I've been having, but I'm living on dry carbs and light soups. Anything else is too risky with my nausea/vomiting these days.

Luckily, I had lost about 40+ pounds over two years prior to the BFP so maybe everyone will just assume, I fell of the wagon

@Espion: yay, glad you are here!!

@sorrycharlie: haha that is an awesome line

@MOJ: @Happygal: @Espion: congrats!!

I have such low energy today Good thing it's Friday and I don't have much going on this weekend!

@namaste: Haha, I have already been wearing maternity shorts for like two months...so I just keep wearing them and can't tell how bloated I am. They are sooooo comfy. I have also woken up in the middle of the night the last few nights with hunger pains/pee pains/cramping. My nights are sucking.

@Espion: Yay! I was wondering when you would come over here. I didn't want to pester you.

Ok I know I'm being really silly here but need to hear it from you guys. I've been feeling really queezy all day, like a churning stomach but a couple of hours ago it all went and I feel completely normal. I'm only 4 weeks so I know most wouldn't feel any MS but it's the only symptom I have and it was quite reassuring when I got it today. What has everyone else's experiences been?

@Snowdrop: My symptoms come and go, too. And don't feel bad for asking--it freaks me out, too, even though I know it's normal. For me, I feel pretty icky all day with the exception of a couple of hours mid-afternoon, and about a half hour right after I eat something with lots of carbs or protein.

Sorry for the multiple posts but I'm catching up on a few days here

@Espion: @Snowdrop: @MOJ: @Happygal: YAY! Welcome! So, so happy for you all!

@Snowdrop: I did feel quite queasy around 4/5 weeks, but now at 6 weeks I only have the odd hour or two of feeling crap. I know what you mean about the reassurance, but I keep telling myself to be careful what I wish for, MS suck!

@mfa_lady: I'm sorry waiting for the ultrasound is so stressful. But it will be so exciting when you get to see your lovely healthy baby

@ValentineMommy: Good luck for Tuesday!!! Mine is on Monday and I really can't wait to get it done and find out whether everything is okay.

@keepcalmcarrie: I hope your LO feels better soon!

@snowdrop that's what I'm experiencing all this week. My doctor said it is normal.

@Radish: @MOJ: @travelgirl1: @SnowLion: @mfa_lady: thanks ladies, the same think happened today, fine in the morning then progressively worse before disapearing at bed time. It must just be my norm at the moment. Gosh each day is scary!

Woke up in the middle of the night sooo hungry and had to rummage round the kitchen for food haha

@cheesehead: congrats and welcome!

@Snowdrop: my symptoms come and go too! Friday my stomach was upset all day, and I was exhausted. Yesterday I had a ton of energy and wanted to eat all day. I'm starting to think I'm not going to have a "normal" anymore

@Snowdrop: @charmed: @travelgirl1: Thanks!

@Snowdrop: nothe much for symptoms yet, but I have had a wicked cold for the last week, but my boobs have decided to jump back up to nursing size already! I didn't have many symptoms my first pregnancy until about 8ish weeks...and then came the all day morning sickness that lasted until after 20 weeks.

@travelgirl1: That nap was heavenly! DH has been really good about taking care of B for a couple of hours each day of the weekend in the last couple of weeks. So I got some more naps in. Good luck at your appointment today!

@cheesehead: Welcome and congrats! Glad you're here!

@Snowdrop: I don't really have trouble in the mornings. It usually gets to me around midday and the queasiness continues until the afternoon. I'm fine in the evenings and at night.

@Espion: Yay, glad you came over Welcome and congrats!

@namaste: Same here, the bloating is insane! Especially in the evenings! I had lost quite a lot of weight post-partum due to breastfeeding so I guess people just assume I'm putting it back on. I'm so looking forward to telling everyone the real reasong though.

I really hope I'll survive work today. B was up from midnight to 2am and just did not go back to sleep in his own crib! In the end I brought him to my bed and that's where he finally fell asleep. These are the moments where I really wonder if having two under two and soloing them mostly is such a brilliant idea...

@bhbee: Yeah! That's so fun that we have appointments the same day!! I'm trying not to think too much about it and I know I'll be nervous. The RE who will do the ultrasound was also my surgeon for my laparoscopy, so I'm glad he'll be able to see that his handiwork paid off. How are you settling into your new place?

@Snowdrop: My MS comes with a vengeance about once a day and then I continue life like I used to. I wish it was just nausea but I've been getting really sick the past few days.

@cheesehead: Congrats and welcome!

@Happygal: I caved and just got myself a second cup of coffee. I work in an IT consulting company and we have coffee machines that actually make real cappuccinos with real milk so I always have one of those so they don't contain too much coffee

I am so sick today. It's the first time I'd say I'm not only queasy but full on sick. I luckily haven't had to through up yet though.

Anyone else worried or hoping it could be twins? Based on my weird cycle, the thought of twins had passed through my mind. I took a test this morning to see if it would be freakishly dark - it was dark, but not sure that it's dark enough. Would probably help if I knew DPO.

@Radish: My heart stopped beating for a second when the doc said she was now looking whether there is another one in there (there is no such profession as an u/s tech. here). I'm in such awe of twin mommas like @MrsBlue: but in our current work and living situation we'd be in trouble with no family to help out and me being solo most of the week. But then you always get what you get so if it had been, we would have happily taken on the challenge

Sidenote: That coffee helped my sickness get better. I'm feeling pretty normal now. Yay!!!

@charmed: Yeah, I try to stick to one coffee a day mostly. Cutting it out completely would cause major headaches so I'm not doing that. Sometimes when it's a bad day like today I don't mind to throw that rule overboard though. You gotta do, what you gotta do in order to survive.

@cheesehead: We thought about this too and decided on a second crib. But I just learnt the other day that cribs here are different than American cribs. (Kids can get out of the cribs without having to climb over the rails, so they can stay in them longer).
