Hi ladies, Happy Friday!!!
Today im 9wksand3d, I was wondering if anyone else felt sick/nauseous if they don't eat every 2-3 hours??
I've been eating crackers,fruit,healthy snacks. But if i go longer than 3 hours not eating, i get sick and have this horrible feeling in my stomach.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Yes. Me. I try to do healthy but I sometimes grab a handful of pringles. The salt helps.

I know some of you read my status, but I figured I would update here in more detail. So my first appointment was today, and all they did was took my history. I have an appointment at the end of May with the doctor, at which time they will check for a heartbeat. However, I have to have an ultrasound done in a week to check my cervix. I had a LEEP done in 2006, but haven't had any problems since then, they just want to check the thickness. So do you guys think they would be able to see the baby during that? I sure hope so.

I also got my blood drawn, 7 viles. I was getting a little queasy right when she was done, but she messed up. She didn't have a cotton ball or gauze to stop the blood, so she took the needle out, but a towel on my arm and went to get something. Of course I looked over and blood was running down my arm, and I think I passed out right after that!!! I was kind of embrassed as that has never happened before, but I'm not sure how much blood was lost before they stopped it. They got my husband a little after it happened, and he said they were just cleaning up my arm and one of the guys had blood on his shoe, so it must have been a decent amount. Now I'm really going to dread it next time. My husband was really sweet though during the whole thing, he was very freaked out when he walked in because he said I was so pale and was drooling. He made me eat after even though I just wanted to go home and sleep.

Erica-Mine is getting a little better, but from 6-10 weeks I had to eat every 2 hours, now it's not qutie as bad, but I do feel icky if I don't eat for a while

chickybuns - I would ask to lay down the next time they take blood. With my first baby that happened to me and every time I went in to give more blood I layed down, closed my eyes, and focused on my breathing and it helps me. I passed out the first time as well so you are not alone. And you should totally be able to see your baby on an u/s at 10ish weeks...it will be an amazing experience!

I am now in my 2nd trimester I think (13wks3d) and not showing much yet. This is baby #3 and no one at work has questioned me and I'm able to hide it still, but I'm looking forward to showing soon so people can stop thinking I am just eating too much and putting the weight I lost back on. :giggle:

Hi girls, I am currently 11w2days with my 3rd baby. I feel like I am already showing and I feel huge, I got huge with my other kids, and I'm trying to watch my weight with this one. With DD #1 I gained 60lbs, not proud of that, but I did lose it, or most of it.. then with my DS I gained 27 alot of that contributed to the fact I had gestational diabetes with him and once I was forced to watch what I ate I actually lost and then maintained during my 2nd and 3rd trimesters. So with this pregnancy, 2 1/2 years later I was down to my prepregnancy weight I was at with my daughter and now have gained 12 lbs already! I fibbed and said my prepregnancy weight was 5# heavier than it was because I felt like such a cow, but now I want to maintain this weight for as long as I can because my doctor and I set a goal of 15-20# that I was comfortable gaining. My real pre-prego weight was 145lbs.. I am a labor and delivery nurse so I know that it's not all fat storage, but I don't want a lot to have to lose afterwards either, and we are trying to prevent the gestational diabetes even though we ultimately have no control over that as it's a placental issue. Anyways, I set my goal to maintain, but it says I should be getting 1920 calories! I barely ate 1350 prior to pregnancy and I don't know that I could get myself to eat that much now even with being hungry.. I still am sufferring from nausea and do find that if I eat a little it subsides some, along with heartburn. I'm not that great at tracking my food on here, but I am trying to count the carbs and maintain a low carb diet, when it's "weigh-in" day do I add the amount I gained if I did gain or maybe lose? or do you not track it? I'm trying to get back on the wagon of this site because I kind of allowed myself to get off track right before I got pregnant, which was completely unplanned on both areas.. I figure if I eat more healthy things like whole grains and fresh fruits and veggies I'm doing good, even if I don't track all of the time.. Sorry for the long post. I'm looking forward to this discussion group though because I like the community aspect of not being the only one out there. I'm also here for if you girls have any questions about labor/delivery/etc..
