Hey ladies! To answer your question B&K , yes and no. Haven't puked since Tuesday morning but sometimes i think tha it is just sheer will and fear of vomiting that stops me. Wed & Thurs morns were good, but Friday was mildly nauseous and had heartburn (yes, got those tums) and today is that lingering yuckiness. I have developed a severe aversion to green vegetables and salads which is making eating healthy a challenge. I thin the only gren veggie that doesn't bother me is green peppers which is weird because I was never huge on them before. And i had peas the other day, although it wasn't my favorite thing. And I spend half my day burping incessantly. Otherwise, I am doing well. Had the strongest craving for french fries smothered in ketchup earlier this week and when we went food shopping dh was like, lets' get french fries and I was like YEAH!!! ha, ha! He was so funny - doc told him to cut out all the sugar (he's gained wieght and his sugar and blood pressure are up) so he was all excited to find a ketchup with reduced sugar and sugar free ice cream. He was a skinny kid and never had a weight problem in his life until he quit smoking 6 years ago - he ate the equivalent of two men and burned it all up like nothing - hope this baby inherits his old metabolism! I on the other hand can just look at food and it adheres itself to my ass and hips. Hey Coda - take your rings off and put them in a safe place. A friend of mine from college who was like a size 3 didn't take her wedding ring off when she was pregnant (she slept with them on) and they had to cut it off late in her pregnancy because her fingers swelled so much. That doesn't happen to everyone, but if you are swelling at all, I would leave the rings off for a few days so they don't get stuck. And don't sleep with them. I alwyas found that my fingers were more swollen in the morning. Daniella - yeah, stick with cotton - the other ones have alwyas brought me grief. There are more varieties of cotton these days - I guess they finally figured out that some of us can't do nylon and microfiber (although if the microfiber is mixed with a high percentage of cotton you may be able to - ehh, why bother?). Allie - so sorry for the BFN. Definitely call your ob/gyn and tell him/her everythign and lay out your goals and frustrations and say - I want some advice and action! Dawn - That sounds really cute! The past few months I would wander through this Target that opened recently and I would just meander through their baby section casually because they have this crib & changing table that I really like set up on display. The one day I was in there getting stuff and I wandered by the crib and thought, Oh wow, I am pregnant this time! (yeah, sounds like a blonde moment, but I think you get what I mean). So maybe my crib stalking is the same as your bedding buying! ha, ha! Bee- are you sure the masseuse wasn't talking about reflexology massage? I could see how that could stimulate things elsewhere in the body. Daniella - I think you should take 1/2 mile walk, have sex, get a foot massage and down that primrose oil, woman! Tell little JPD (I forget the initials!) that he needs to make his grand entrance while Daddy is here to witness it! Lavinia - welceom to the board. I hope al goes well for you. There are sevral ladies on here who have been through m/c twice and some have moved on to full-term pregnancy,so stay hopeful and we are here to help you. Tansy - glad that your heavy bleeding seems past - that is a milestone in itself.
