@banana330: it's more like a constant old brown discharge. Hoping it is just a first trimester thing!! My next appointments are march 13 and 20th (nt scan). Praying for healthy appointments! How are you feeling? How is the nausea?

@Banana330: hopefully you'll feel tons better in the second tri and this will all be a distant memory. DH has been doing more than his fair share around here, too. And my toddler is just constantly clinging to me...I feel so bad when I tell her I can't pick her up, and even worse when she cries and tells DH that she doesn't want him to do it!

Have you tried diclegis? It can really help with the nausea.

@Mrs. K: still going strong. I'll have one maybe two ok days a week the rest are multiple pukes, but small ones. Sounds promising. Hopefully it stops altogether for you soon!

@StrawberryBee: ya luckily DD is going through a massive daddy phase ya I have some, I took it last time but I was hoping it would be ending soon and I didn't want to start then wean off... I'm almost 11 weeks!

@Banana330: I second @strawberrybee! I had a few days of nausea here and there but mild compared to what you're experiencing. I felt pretty crappy so I am so sorry you are going through that. You're almost at 12 weeks! Hopefully the nausea will be over soon! Woohoo!!

@Mrs. K: nauseous at times but not TOO bad as long as I remember to eat constantly; I tried taking my Diclegis but it totally wipes me out. I feel like I'm drugged on a sleeping pill all day. Thanks for asking!

Had my first doctors appointment today. Official due date is 10/2 but I'll be having a c-section so good chance of being a September mama. Measuring 10mm crl and 153 heart rate.

@StrawberryBee: I'm in the same boat, just trying to constantly eat. It doesn't help that I can't stand all the normal healthy stuff I usually eat! I feel gross eating so much and being on "pelvic rest" not used to being so sedentary hoping I can be more active during second trimester.

@lulu22: Gosh that sounds hard! Where is your family that they are 24 hours flight away?! The only thing that I can figure is.... the only way out is through. lol. Like the first year might just be a shitshow. Literal and otherwise. But we will survive. And some day I'll be sitting at the dinner table looking at my 5 and 8 year olds. Or my 15 and 18 year olds. And I'll be so glad we dove into this craziness. But in the meantime... yea... I'm a little scared to go through the hard part.

It sounds like a lot of us are pretty sick at the moment. Sucks eh? What's everyone trying? I tried a unisom cocktail first. (1 unisom + 25mg b6 + 20mg pepcid before bed and just a b6 + Pepcid in the morning). I found I was still pretty sick in the mornings still but felt better in the afternoons/evening. Then my doctor prescribed diclegis which seems to do well in the mornings but wears off a bit by mid-afternoon. He said I can up the dosage but it already makes me so exhausted I don't know it'd be worth it to feel better but be asleep on my desk. lol. I legit was nodding off today working. Had to do a lap around my floor and chew some gum to wake myself up.

@Mae: I have to be constantly eating to stave off nausea. It's this weird 24/7 sensation of being starving and nauseous at the same time. I've definitely never felt this before! But the only thing I can seem to stomach is carbs and fat (yummy at least!). All of the healthy things I normally eat sound revolting. DH is away for business for 2 weeks so I predict lots of take-out in my future

Popsicles are also really helping. My mouth seems to taste weird all the time. The flavor and coolness of popsicles temporarily helps that problem.

@annem1990: YES. exactly that. hungry/nauseous constantly. and nothing sounds good really... but some things definitely sound bad (anything except carbs and chicken). And yea I'm having the weird taste thing too. I'm chewing a lot of gum.

@Mae: I think I'm lucky in the sense that my job is the perfect mix of running around and sitting down that I am able to keep myself awake.

My first pregnancy I was working overnights. That was awful.

@StrawberryBee: @annem1990: so glad I'm not the only one! I picked up some premade salads and fruit from the store last night for my lunches at work. They aren't the healthiest salads but I figure they're greens and any appetizing veggies I can get in at this point is a win!

So I know it's super early but I've been debating getting a pair of maternity pants for work because I end up so bloated that it's uncomfortable to even use a hair tie to keep my jeans up part of me wants to wait to get a pair but I figure if things don't work out this time around that eventually I'll be pregnant again and I'll get use out of them! I have also been wondering if I'm just getting too fat for my own clothes because I'm eating so much or if it is pregnancy bloat? Lol

@Mae: I've been wearing maternity pants for at least 2 weeks! I was doing the rubber band but the zipper was digging!

@Mrs. K: @matador84: @Mae: I love maternity pants! I seriously went and bought the gap jeans that had elastic waists (non-maternity) post partum last time and they are all i wear! I'm kinda looking forward to wearing some maternity clothes and having a bump vs this too many burritos and beers look i'm rocking right now. I'm actually wearing a maternity shirt under a normal sweater today but it looks slightly ridiculous cause theres no bump to fill it out.

I'm 11 weeks today.. 6 days until my NT scan. I really want to see that heartbeat again. I've been taking the meds regularly now and i'm feeling much more human when i do. I'm not sure why I resisted so much!

@MsInformation: So sorry for your loss. I lost twins a few years ago and I still find it hard now.

@MsInformation: I am so sorry for your loss

@MsInformation: I'm so sorry for all of your losses, it's such a sucky place to be. All the best for the next few weeks

@MsInformation: heartbroken to see this news... So disheartening after seeing the heartbeat not long ago please take care of yourself. Sending hugs

How is everyone doing? I haven't vomited once but I've had nausea pretty consistently. I was sick almost every day with my son until 17 weeks, so this is a bit different for me!

I just hit 9 weeks and I finally feel like time is starting to pick up a bit as I get closer to the 2nd trimester. I have my next appointment in 2 weeks and I'm hoping everything with baby is ok.

Anyone have any ideas or gut instincts on what they're having? I think I'm having another boy.

@Boopers: I felt totally non-pregnant on Friday and Saturday, then nausea came back Sunday and I was up at 4am today.

I am feeling boy, I don't know why. Maybe because my husband's family leans heavily boy, and I am mainly craving meat and salt. I don't really have a preference either way.

I broke down and bought maternity work pants and jeans on Saturday! They are great! I figure I will need them either now or later, so I am trying to let my superstitions go.
