I'm about 10 weeks tomorrow and the nausea/puking set in really badly two weeks ago, my boobs are already getting humongous, and my waist is already getting bigger :O(. I puked/had terrible heartburn all the way until the birth of my son last year...I so hope it doesn't last that long with this pregnancy! I guess I can live through it if the baby is just as healthy and happy as my son is :O). They say my symptoms are exaggerated because I have red hair...that doesn't make any sense to me. lol.

Hi ladies... I still have not found relief from the nausea. Anyone found anything natural? I am over 8 weeks and I have gained only 1lb and my bloat is FIANLLY starting to ease!

Fresh ginger, either as is or as a tea can help. Hard candies can also help. If you look up Preggo Pops - those can help too, but a few of the flavors were kind of strange.

Hi Everyone,

I am about 8 1/2 weeks pregnant and may be having a miscarriage. I am experiencing slight bleeding (no cramping) and I am having my first Ultrasound tomorrow.

Please wish me luck!

I'm praying for the best but bracing for the worst.

Thinking of you C1. From what I am reading some bleeding can be normal in the first trimester.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the prayers you guys.

Well the outcome wasn't good. I am nine weeks pregnant and there is no heartbeat. I have uterine fibroids; they are blocking the implantation of the baby. If the miscarriage doesn't happen on its on, I'm scheduled to have my pregnancy terminated next week.

Please pray for me and my family.

I'm going to stay with the group, because we will be trying again after my surgery to remove the fibroids. Good luck to you all!

I am so sorry for your loss. I'll pray for you and your family. I hope all goes well with your surgery and that your physical and emotional healing is quick.

I keep reading different things about when the second trimester starts. I've read anywhere from week 13 to week 15. I'm in week 13, so I'm not sure if I need to move over to the 2nd trimester board or wait until next week (when I'll be in week 14 - or maybe the week after, when I'll be in week 15!).

My OB's info sheet isn't clear on it but seems to imply that at week 14 I will be in the second trimester.

What's your take?

2nd Tri starts at 13 weeks + 3 days ... that makes sense to me, since it's about as close to a 1/3 of the pregnancy as you can get :happy:

And, with that being said... see you all in the 2nd Tri Board soon!!

Thanks! I am 13w2d today... so I guess I'm on my last day :happy:

I am 13w3d today, so I am off to 2nd trimester! Yay!

I will see you all there soon enough

I'm 5 weeks along and having some mild pregnancy symptoms. Constant mild nausea except when eating, sore breasts, slightly short of breath at times, very thirsty, and very sleepy at times.

Is anyone else letting themselves have a little caffeine? I certainly don't have it every day, but I've been allowing at a most cup of coffee when the sleepiness gets bad.

My emotions are so weird... I've wanted this for SO long now, but ever since our BFP I've had anxiety about pregnancy and a baby changing our lives. Those thoughts (i.e. I wish we could undo this, why did we do this, oh no we're stuck) have been somewhat easy to dismiss, and baby planning -- shopping -- is what gets me really excited about all of this.

I'm about 5 1/2 weeks and feeling the same symptoms that you are. We're going on a trip with dh's co-workers this weekend - a 4 hour bus ride and lots of walking around a musium and factory. Really not sure how that's going to go with the nausea and tiredness. I'm taking lots of snacks.
I don't worry too much about caffeine. With my first pregnancy I had asked my doctor about it and she said one cup of coffee a day or a couple cans of soda won't hurt you at all. But I'm not a caffeine addict to begin with -I usually don't have more than one coke a day.

This is my 3rd pregnancy and with everyone I've had that "oh no - what did we do?!" feeling. It's such an adjustment everytime you add a child to your family. It's really a good thing we have 9 months to get used to the idea. Just don't let yourself think about how complicated or hard it will make certain aspects of your life. Aside from planning ahead a little there's not much you can do to prepare for the change anyway - so don't worry about it. And really, each time I've found that when the baby comes I don't really care anymore. They're so cute that it's worth it.

Hi There!!!

I am 7.5 weeks! This is my 3rd pregnancy. I have a beautiful 7 year old and unfortunately my last pregnancy ended at 19 weeks with a fetal demise. We tried for several years but finally gave up about 2 years ago, and low and behold I am preggers! Of course after what happened last time I will be anxious until at least 24 weeks. I saw the Dr at 6 weeks and heard the heart beat! I am also concerned because of my age! I am certainly of advanced maternal age, turning 41 in a few weeks!!!!

I look forward to hearing all your stories!

Dawn

Just had my first ultrasound this morning, found out I have a blighted ovum, so it's just a matter of time before I miscarry And it took a year and a half and 2 IUI cycles to get pregnant with this one. Just feeling more and more hopeless :frown: Sorry to bring anyone else down. Hope no one else has to go through this!

Hi everybody

I just learnt I am pregnant a couple of days ago, I'm not sure how far along I am yet but I'd guess around 7 weeks based on my last period. I am going to get a dating scan after Christmas so I can find out the exact amount of weeks.

I have a 3 year old and last time I gained a lot of weight - almost 40kg or 88lbs. I only recently got down to my prebaby weight. I am determined not to go down that path and eat a healthy and nutritionally dense diet and aim to gain only the recommended amount of weight for my current size.

Congrats!! I gained about 60 with my first and would really like to not do that, but already at 11.5 weeks the scale is climbing faster than i would like....
