So I had my 1st prenatal appointment today, and everything looked great[:-)] Our LO even measured 1 day ahead, at 8w1d and the heart rate was 169.We will announce our pregnancy to my parents and DH's parents this weekend, but are waiting to tell the rest of our family, friends, and FB until after our next appointment. So exciting!

I hope you are right, JennLynn[;)] Your symptoms sounds a lot like what I had with my DD...and since they are so opposite from your boys, maybe that means girl for you! I can't wait to find out...when will you be finding out your baby's gender?

With my DD, morning sickness really kicked in around 8 weeks. It started with constant nausea and quickly progressed to daily vomiting episodes and zero appetite.I felt awful. This lasted until around 14 weeks. I am 7w4d atm, so I am still expecting morning sickness to kick in with full force next week, but right now I only really get nauseous if I am really hungry....I...

That was so beautifully written, tclaritar! Thank you for sharing. I am currently 6 1/2 weeks pregnant, so I still have a long way to go untill I find out the baby's gender, but I am already trying to prepare myself for the possibility of having another girl. Part of me is just convinced this is girl #2 because I just keep thinking that DH and I " cant have" a boy . But then sometimes my min...

No bump here yet ( 6 weeks), but I am so massively bloated that I have had to unbutton my pants since week 4...thank goodness I kept the bellyband from last pregnancy! Today is the first day I have started to experience waves of nausea...with DD it didn't start until 7 1/2-8 weeks. Let the fun begin[:P]

Hi Terry and welcome to the group[:-)] A December baby is going to be so much fun! My DH though is stressing out about it a little because my birthday is on the 7th, my Dad's on the 17th, and now this new little monkey is expected to make an arrival by December 30. I will probably be getting a Csection this time around due to a complicated birth last time, but I am just hoping he or she will be he...

Thanks, babybleux! I hadn't thought about the NT scan...is that standard or do they ask you at the beginning if you want your baby to be screened for potential defects? And anyone can get it, not just high risk?

No morning sickness here yet, but I am only 5 1/2 weeks so I expect it shall hit soon[:P] With my daughter, the morning sickness didn't start for me until 7-8 week, so maybe it will stay away a bit longer this time too. On the cooking topic, I have become extremely lazy since my BFP and have zero ( mental) energy to cook. And it doesn't help that I am in the middle of Finals week right now ei...

[quote user="coffee"]I drink lemon juice with stevia everyday but i read
You drink lemon added to water ?!
Is there a difference between them ?![/quote] You drink the lemon juice straight out of the bottle?! Wow, that stuff is pretty strong[:P] I drank it with water and you can add the stevia if you want; it would be a good thing in fact as stevia can help ph. Now that I'm preggo I crave l...

Did any of you end up craving the " girl" or " boy" diet foods when you got pregnant? I was so happy to be done with the diet ( even though I did HE diet, meat/protein/potatoes were still a huge part of my diet) and now that I'm preggo, all I crave is mostly boy foods! I crave junk food like crazy; steak, hamburgers and fries, chicken nuggets with hot sauce. And I LOVE cheddar cheese and...

Thanks, cupcake! We have Aetna insurance and for now I'll just assume a 12 week scan is covered...I sure hope so because I'd love to get a chance to obsess over nubs too lol.

When I was pregnant with my daughter, I got two: one at my first prenatal appointment ( 6w6d) and another at 20w. I see a lot of ladies posting photos of 12 week scans in the ultrasound section. So does that mean they got 3 scans? Or was their 1st prenatal appointment not until 12 weeks?! I wonder is the number of scans you get depended upon your insurance plan ( I'm in the US btw)...

My symptoms didn't start showing up until around 10DPO. My first signs were a huge increase in appetite and my nipples were looking different. I also had a lot of vivid dreams and at 11DPO my skin was breaking out more than it usually does right before AF. The morning of 12DPO I woke up with some weird back cramps that lasted for about 15 minutes and when I got up I had some m...

Thanks, maggi[:-)] To answer your questions:1) Gelatin drink: mix the powder ( I did 2 packages at a time) with a little cold water and stir and let sit for about 30 seconds. Then add hot, boiling water and stir again. I added about 6-8 fl. oz. water total. The powder will dissolve and it won't be lumpy if you do it correctly. You will need to drink it within about 30 minutes, or else ...

I say [DS] I believe peanuts can help raise testosterone, PB is loaded with calories and fats which help sway boy. Peanuts though can act to lower PH, but as a whole they are more conducive to a boy sway. I ate it when I was swaying blue, as it is allowed and recommended on the HE diet. HTH[hearts]

Thanks for your reply, hcmk! After my meltdown yesterday,I tried to come up with some new food ideas that I think I could stomach, so today I picked up some fresh raspberries ( nice and tart[:P]) and pita bread & hummus as well as wraps for sandwiches. Also going to try and find some " salad" recipes, like egg salad for sandwiches. Anyways, yes I imagine the morning sickness will come so...

I am 5 weeks tomorrow, and ever since my BFP I have had stretching pains in my stomach and groin area that come and go and its predominantly on my right side too. I know it just my uterine and abdominal muscles stretching, so I am not worried about it. I had it with DD pregnancy too. I think the whole right/life side is just another OWT ( is it Ramzi theory you ...

Fellow preggos, how is everyone managing their food aversions and cravings?! I am 5w tomorrow and dealing with some major aversions and cravings. Right now, almost everything I eat taste sweet. I am detecting sweetness in EVERYTHING and am no longer able to stomach cereals, bread ( unless it slathered with meat, cheese, and mayonnaise) and pretty much any fruits or vegetables ( with...
