Lia: try "sea bands" they are helping and I swear it works when I take them off I get super sick again and they are safe...I have to wear them until just before I fall a sleep! try that it doesn't take long to start working either!

i'm getting so anxious!! how can i make it go awayyy? lol

Morning girls! Well i slept away the whole weekend. I have never been this tired!! i feel great otherwise. REALY sore bb's, bathroom trips lots, constipated and slow lol, SUPER tired all the time. as for morning sickness i have only been nauseated a couple times. nothing to report on that side of things. How is everyone feeling! lets have some updates!

hi ladies ! i ignore my email on the weekend and at night b/c if i'm not at work, i don't want to see a computer ! so sorry for everyone who is feeling so awful. rosenow, i think i'm with you and was just really tired but nausea is fine as long as i eat often enough. although i'll be happy when i don't need to eat every 5 seconds so i'm not gaining too much weight this early on. lia, so sorry. i can't imagine having all those little ones and feeling so awful. for the girl/morning sickness theory, i had a girl last time and never got sick once. just a tiny bit nauseous for a few weeks. so who knows ?? ok, so my belly popped out this weekend already. anyone showing already ? i mean, nobody else could tell unless i'm wearing tight clothes, but i def. saw my belly big time on friday and ever since. didn't expect that this early ! had a rough night last night. daughter woke up with a 102.5 fever after tylenol. i know that's not extremely high but she's never had one that high before. so she was in our bed and i was wide awake all night. feeling it today for sure ! so does anyone have appts. this week ? hope so ! ok, gonna go try to work now... anyone else working full time ? i'm at my computer all day and just want to eat my face off...ugh !

Good morning everyone. It's been a rough couple days for me. I've been nauseous for awhile now but I just started throwing up a few days ago. My mom bought me a new set of sea bands for my birthday and they have helped a little. kearly: I was in maternity pants at 9 weeks with my second son and this time, I feel like I have a belly already too. My jeans won't zip so I've started wearing a lot of loose sweatpants. I'm so sorry that your daughter is sick. My three year old woke up really early this morning throwing up so I know how you feel.

Kearly: Hey there hope your little girl is feeling better! I have my first Apt with my OBGYM this Thursday and I get to hear the babies heart beat. I had on my bloodwork done already. I wonder when we will get to have our first ultrasound. I am going to record the heartbeat on my blackberry so I can remember it forever! I work full time as a 7-8 teacher. Today is actually a snow day so I will be sitting all day and just relaxing. I am so tired. This is my first pregnancy so I can't wait for every experience. Hubby made me supper last night (Mac and Cheese) It made me sooo nausiated! I don't think I will ever eat it again lol. I used to love the stuff. that is one of the only things he knows how to make as I loev to cook. I did not want to hurt his feelings Mandersmom: My best friend is on her third and she was showing allot even at 8 weeks. It is not uncommon to show early after your first because your muscles are not a tight and they once were. I am not showing but I can feel it when I rub my tummy. DH is already talking to the baby telling him/her he loves them. it's soooo cute! Other then last night and one other time I have really not felt any nausea at all. I guess I should be thankful but it would be yet another symptom I would be happy to have to remind me that things are ok :o) Waiting for this first obgyn checkup is agony lol. It's so hard to keep dought and negative thoughts away! But most of the time I just feel pleasant at the thought and smile when I catch myself holding my belly lol

Hi ladies! Can I join? I haven't been on this site in almost 4 years! I am due towards the end of sept. This is my 4th pregnancy, 3 birth (hopefully!). I am feeling very sick, lots of nausea and my b___bs feel like they are already filling with milk. Actually-it feels like let down. Strange! My first appt. is feb 11th!

Welcome Jenn! This is open to anyone! We are happy to have you! When did you find out you were preggers? You must be around 4-5 weeks? I am 8weeks and due early Sept.

HI! I found out saturday the 16th! The week before I got my BFP I started to suspect that I was bc I was feeling pregnant-after 3 I kinda know what's going on....but my symptoms now are unlike any I have had with the previous...kinda feels like the first time all over again. No headaches though-so I am happy for that!

The only thing I have to say is holy b___bs! They are starting to fill out the stretch marks left over from my son and the achy burn...forgot about this part. I am using a midwife so I don't have any appointments until my 11th week, so the first week in March. I thought I was being a little anxious when I called for a midwife last week seeing as I haven't had a blood test done yet, but I am glad I did, as I got the last spot they had open for that time period. I used the same midwifery group with my son and just loved every minute of it and just couldn't imagine having to deal with an OB/GYN this time around.

Jenn: Congratulations and welcome! first-timer: I am using a midwife too. I used the same practice for my first two births and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks for the welcome ladies! I will be in from time to time-I am a nurse and have a crazy schedule! But look forward to spending the next 9 months with you ladies!

morning girls. So last night I noticed a new change. My bb's have grown allot and my nps are VERY large and dark. I never had veins on them before now they stick out like big blue highways! Day after tomorrow I meet my little Rosebud. Well at leased we will get to hear the heartbeat. Has anyone else had an ultra sound or heard the heartbeats yet??? I am soooo excited! I also love getting these new symptoms because it reasures me that things are going allong well.

Hello ladies. How is everyone today? rosenow: I am so excited for you that you have your appointment in a few days. Mine is still a week away - so I'm patiently wating...

hi girls ! rosenow, only 2 more days ! it'll be here before you know it. that's great you guys are using midwives. i think i'm too much of a chicken to go that route. i wanted my epidural sooo badly with my first. i'm a wimp i guess, but the whole midwife path sounds so dreamy and peaceful :-) so my belly gets really big at night. i remember this from before that i'd start the day with it not so bad, but by bedtime it's much bigger. i just can't believe how big it is already. sadly, i have no b___bs. they got a tiny bit bigger, but still in the same bra. with my first i was in the same pre-prego bras all during the pregnancy and during nursing. i'm an A cup normally so i was dreaming of b___bs for once in my life ! oh well... today was the first day i wasn't really nauseous and didn't need to eat everything in sight. hope it stays that way. i read we should gain 2-3 lbs in first trimester and i'm already at 3. i hate those guidelines ! jen, welcome !!!!! a nurse with 3 kids, you must be really tired right about now, huh ?

Hi girls – I’m still feeling bad. :-[ Thanks for the suggestions, but nothing really works for me. I just think my body is super sensitive. I tried the Sea Bands during my 1st pregnancy and they didn't give me any relief. I was placed on Zofran with my 1st and 2nd pregnancies because I couldn't keep any food down. I may ask for it again. I'll talk to my OB on Friday. We'll have a sono and then the doctor's visit at 8:00 am (EST) on Friday (1/29). I'm exhausted and don't know how I'll make it to then. For the girls with the Midwives - will you deliver at a hospital, at home or at a birthing center?
