@yogifish: yeah. I know in some places it’s totally standard to wait until the 20 week US and I have one friend who didn’t even have an anomaly scan at 20 weeks bc she hates all monitoring. I can’t imagine. I know you can go to those for-profit ultrasound places at the mall, etc. and pay privately, so maybe you could do that?

Considering getting this for my LO so she can see how many days are left til the baby comes. We will probably tell her soon but then it will be 7 mos of “when is the baby coming?”

@Kmomartin: I said for my LO but yeah it’s for me.

So today I purchased and devoured an entire bag of Trader Joe’s Cheetos. I think if all the shameful snacking this is probably the worst. Anyone else want to fess up? Or tell me they are secretly full of iron?

@Ms.Mermaid: just devoured a two cheeseburger meal from McDonald’s. Feel a little bad but not really. I think I’m already up 4lbs at 7w. But if I don’t eat I feel sick...so I eat.

@Ms.Mermaid: yeah it does suck. Especially when no one knows and you just feel chubby. I try to remind myself that I need to pace my eating all the things because I need to keep the secret at work for at least another 6 weeks and my skirts are already feeling tight. Ugh

I ate an entire bag of these on Monday. I have no regrets. I basically ate a bag a week during my last pregnancy, too!

I had to jump on the scale at the pediatrician's office yesterday because my son was losing it and wouldn't sit on the baby one by himself. I am up 7 pounds. I do typically gain about 10 pounds in the first trimester, and then it evens off. I'm consoling myself by telling myself that at least five pounds of it HAS TO BE POOP.
because my god, i'm constipated.

I can't wear pants anymore. At all. I'm insanely bloated. I look at least 20 weeks pregnant at the end of the day.

Currently stuck under my sleeping toddler and starving and now @yogifish has me dreaming of the two cheeseburger meal.

But McDonalds is good luck! After my first transfer which resulted in my son, we had car trouble on the way home and had to stop at a rest stop for awhile. We were famished so gave in to the only option there which was McD's. We joked that DS' first meal was a cheeseburger and fries. For this transfer, we drove by the same rest stop on the way home and had to stop because now it's tradition. And, good luck apparently!

It's not possible that I'm feeling movement already, right? That's ridiculous.

@Ms.Mermaid: I don’t think it’s ridiculous!!! Yaaaay!

@Ms.Mermaid: right? Drives me nuts. Have an appointment with OBGYN March 22 so unless I hear otherwise that’s the next time I’ll see her.

I was tracking ovulation and everything so I feel like this date is impossible- thinking about calling my OBGYN today to see what she thinks.

@Kmomartin: yeah my daughter was due 10/31 and was conceived sometime around 2/7-2/10. I would give your OB a call and see if they want to do another FU US.

@Kmomartin: Full disclosure: I did some googling and everything I found that was concerning had a way lower heart rate or no hb so I think I agree with your OB! chilling sounds good!

@littleblessings: omg I can’t stand the smell of most things right now. seriously! especially eggs. I think that’s why I’m leaning towards cold foods bc they don’t have a strong smell.

@buttermilk: I had this with my first and this one, hence four year age gap between kids. I recommend the Unisom + B6 combo - it helps take the edge off. My doc just put me on promethazine in addition to the diclegis and I just took the first dose (she warned me to take it on the weekend because it can make your really drowsy). Those preggie pop drops are also helpful, or lemon flavored hard candy.

@buttermilk: Target has them in their lady stuff section.

@Silva: I’m having similar issues. So uncomfortable! I can’t stand coffee right now so that’s certainly not helping. I picked up some prunes at the store today though. Fingers crossed!

Just came from first ultrasound and everything looks GREAT! One baby measuring at 9.5 weeks with a heartbeat of 178! I feel so relieved.

@Ms.Mermaid: yippee!! that's amazing!

@buttermilk: Same situation except I would classify mine as hungover all day every day, even through the night. This is the start of week three of this nonsense for me. ugh. Hopefully we both start feeling better soon!
