November 2009 babies!

Hi Lee-ann - stink you are feeling so rotten but I hope you do manage to see some relief from the Travel Calm Ginger. I went out and bought some sea bands as I found they helped me last time. I haven't needed them yet - if I feel sick I eat something and feel better (like now, was feeling rotten so am having my weetbix for breakfast and feeling good). I really haven't been touched yet by the feeling sick bug, I am kind of nervous about that but I guess every pregnancy is different.

And good luck for your scan! I have to wait till 12 weeks for mine. Its gonna be a looooonnngggg wait!

Apart from being uber tired at night and going to bed about 8pm I am ok. I get grumpy like that *snap fingers* and continue to pee like a racehorse. But overall I feel pretty good. Long may it last.

Hey, Brianna - how did you Dad take the news?!

Hey Jane - unless you have a bug of some sort I would say that its normal, I find that I get all bunged up then get diarrhoea for a couple of days, like the body getting rid of everything. Pregnancy is wonderful like that....

Keep eating everyone, its hard when you feel rotten but it can make you feel better once its in there. Also, go with your cravings - they help.

Other things that help me (and may help you):

Ginger Ale/Beer
Pickled Ginger (like what you get with Sushi)
Plain Toast or crumpets with butter (and vegemite sometimes)
Iceblocks - I buy those ones from the supermarket you can freeze yourself, so cheap and so good.
Sea Bands

My ovaries hurt!    Not crampy but a bit ouchy from time to time. Weird!

How is everyone feeling this afternoon?

Hi Melissa, Congrats and welcome!

I had quite bad period type cramps a few weeks ago (about the stage you are) but don't get them much anymore, just the odd cramp, twinge, tightening etc. but nothing too major. So I wouldn't worry about it, I think it is just your body adjusting.

I'm feeling pretty good this arvo. Just seem to be the mornings that are bad for me.

I must be a little backwards as my evenings are much more than the mornings.. I always seem to get evening sickness instead of mornings ! But I am totally with you on the achy boobs my have just started and are so sore


Time to start the midwife hunt I guess..

Hi again.
I had my early scan today.
I was a bit paranoid actually as I had a bit of pain last week on my left side and was so scared that it was ectopic again. My bloods were rising nicely though so I dont know why I was scared! The baby is in the right place (yay!!!!) and is due on 5th November. The pain I was experiencing is a cyst on my ovary, which the lady said is quite common in early pregnancy.

So everything is awesome here!!!!

I am going to have to start telling people soon. I already look about 12 weeks pregnant. The joys of having your second I guess!

I just look like I ate all the pies!

My DH is like yours Jane, is telling EVERYONE. I am a bit more reluctant until we know bubs is a-ok.

Hey ladies,

The men are always so eager to let everyone know, I was a bit worried telling everyone so early but hubby convinced me we should.

I cant wait till I am further through so I can tell people that my belly is because I am preggas not because I still have a bit of a belly still from Ella

Me and my DH are the other way around he doesnt want to tell anyone till 12 weeks but I have told a few people a couple guessed because I'm going to a house warming tomorrow and I'm not drinking which is not common for me.

I'm abit over weight so I think its gonna be awhile before I start to look pg and not just getting fatter, but I'm still going to the gym so hopefully it wont be to bad

Go Chickielou! I am so pleased for you. Fingers crossed for the next 9 months. Welcome to the November mummies!!!
