Hellobee Boards

@Leialou: we are going to be TG. We were for DD and it was so much fun and made the day of delivery less stressful for me because I was focusing on finding out what we were having. I don't know what I would do if I was having twins though, that's a whole new ball game!!

@NovBaby1112: good luck tomorrow!!! My first apt is Wednesday and I'm hoping they will get me in for an U/S shortly after. My clinic just started doing dating U/S - before that your one and only US was at 20w unless a there was a medical reason for more. So I'll be excited to see this little one so early this time!

I have been feeling so so nauseous and blah the past week. It probably is linked to the fact that DH has been gone for 2 weeks now and I'm alone with a crazy energy toddler. He was home last night for the night, left again today but is back on Sunday for good. I can't wait! I haven't been eating much the past bit so tonight I allowed myself to indulge in whatever sounded good as I walked through the grocery store. I'm currently eating hotdogs and cupcakes. Lol

@Leialou: I could never be team green. I want to know right now if it's a boy or a girl so there's no way I could wait until the baby is born!

@Alivoo01: @hilsy85: @Willow: Thanks ladies.

@bluestriped be: Thanks. It is the weirdest feeling being so relieved about seeing a heartbeat and at the same time finding out that there would have been a second. I almost feel guilty for feeling more relieved than sad. Interesting mix.. I hope it doesn't make any of you twin mamas worry extra. I think statistically it shouldn't happen to anyone else on this board, and I have a feeling maybe the second egg (twins run in the family) wasn't so great because I got a uti right around O time so I'm wonder if something happened with that. Anyway thanks for the support!

@NovBaby1112: You are so not alone with the bloat/bump!! I had lost a bunch of weight and had a pretty flat stomach. Now I don't think I've gained weight but I look blah..not a cute bump, just bloated. I'm hoping some of it goes away when I finish the antibiotics I'm on!

@babybronco: Glad everything is ok!

@snickers: Congrats!!

@NovBaby1112: hurray!!! So wonderful! I think sch is super common and hopefully won't bleed at all. So happy for you!

@NovBaby1112: awesome!! That's wonderful news we're due date twins now !

Holy mother of m/s make it stop. Hit me like a ton of bricks this week. Not staying just in the morning, I feel sick all day. No throwing up though.

Ginger ale: delicious but doing nothing. Ginger cookies and candy: nothing. The only thing that helps is peppermint tea and candies. I can eat crackers and cheese and variants thereof. But everything else makes me bleh.

Ideas? I feel like I'm stuck in the worst hangover of my life.

@2littlepumpkins: Good idea, I've only heard good things of the magic of Zofran. I'm going in for a blood draw Monday morning. Time to beg for some Zofran.

@babybronco: I've had a lot of issues too and one friend told me to try sea bands.

I had very minimal sickness with my daughter but I have nausea all the time this time and I've been throwing up a lot (I counted seven times in the past four days). I think I can handle it if it evens out to once a day but it's still rough to not be able to eat much. Right now I'm fighting to keep what I had the last part of today down. I'll call the doctor if it gets too bad but I'm already big on trying to avoid medications so I'm trying to hold off since I'm already on the synthetic thyroid medicine right now.

I have discovered that drinking things other than water seems to help and I assume it's good so I can get calories in. Sprite and lemonade helped a little today.

@babybronco: I haven't tried them yet. I just asked her today and she said they seemed to do okay. I was hoping I would get by with minimal sickness again but it seems I'm getting hit hard this time.

@babybronco: My hypothyroid medicine says I need to eat it on an empty stomach and then not eat for 30 minutes to an hour after that so I can't eat before I get up unfortunately. I know that's probably contributing.

It seems that I can keep down about 2/3 meals a day right now so I'm just hoping it doesn't get worse. I'm definitely going to try the sea bands though.

@BelugaBean: oh you poor thing. I can only eat bananas, carbs, and chicken ramen without feeling terrible.

I'll be crossing my fingers that you have to get up to pee!

@Charm54: @jodyblair: thanks ladies

@babybronco: oh no! That sounds really rough....I Agree with others, maybe ask your OB about a prescription med for it. That sounds terrible. I haven't hit that point yet, just queasiness that comes and goes but is better once I eat!

@Charm54: I'll definitely try orange juice this morning. Everytime I woke up last night, I was still nauseous so I'll try anything at this point!

@NovBaby1112: Thanks! Me too.

Zofran is a MIRACLE DRUG. I still feel blah but at least I can move and function like a semi-normal human being.

@My Only Sunshine: exciting! Weds will be here so soon!

@babybronco: woo hoo! Glad it's working for you! My nausea is only helped by eating, like every 2-3 hours which is crazy!

How much coffee/tea is everyone drinking? I'm trying to limit to 1 cup of coffee a day, but I'm just so tired in the afternoon!

@NovBaby1112: I spoke too soon, just had another wave, but it would be a lot worse without it.

I haven't even wanted coffee and I'm a coffee addict.

I'm really hoping this only lasts at max 6 weeks. My mom keeps telling me she never had morning sickness, neither did my best friend. Oh goodie, I got all of theirs and mine combined...

@NovBaby1112: ha it is rough, lemme tell you.. I am just being a paranoid patty about caffeine, even tho I drank it with LO1 and I know it's fine. I will prob ease up in the 2nd tri!

I went to the Dr yesterday to confirm the pregnancy he calculated that I am about 5 weeks but has given me a referral for a dating scan but said to wait until next week or the week after to go as we wont be able to see much this early on. Its just weird as according to my data the edd will be 28th October but when I tested at around 6dpo I got a very dark double line straight away. So I am thinking maybe I had a very short cycle and maybe the due date is earlier. Guess we will find out in a few weeks!

Any one else not really having much symptoms? Im cramping a bit and feeling very tired but other than that not much different.

@NovBaby1112: Ive been having one cup of coffee in the mornings and then hot tea in the afternoons if I need a pick me up.

@My Only Sunshine: I'm THIS close to busting out my maternity pants also. The bloat while sitting is making my pants super uncomfortable. Standing, I'm okay, but sitting, yea....

@Leialou: We're going to find out because everyone and their mom wants to know the sex of our baby. So do we! We're wanting a girl so the sooner we find out, the better.

As for symptoms, changing DS's poopy diapers make me nauseous. lol Otherwise, fatigue is still around. No other major symptoms. I woke up completely sore today from my back down to my butt. It felt like I was working out all night long or something, but much more painful. Super owie.

@Alivoo01: I am about to bust out mine, too! Solidarity girl! Godness, this 8.5 week bump is looking a lot like a 12 week bump to me!

I don't know if this has already been discussed several times, but have you guys told your families yet? I will be 9 weeks on Wednesday and still haven't told my family. I just am not even sure what to say since they'll be so shocked. But I know if I wait too long, it will just get...awkward. If you have told, how did you do it? Any cute ideas?
