Gag!

magtree10 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 12:29:05 +0000

Does anyone else have more of a gagging feeling when morning sickness hits? I haven't felt sick to my stomach but when something doesn't sit right with me I feel something more in the back of my throat than anything else.....

Could I be???

JDsFordGirl — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:47:05 +0000

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for about four months now and each month that lovely reminder that I am not pregnant shows up, just like clock work on the 28th day. This month though, I have passed that day, which was on the 13th. I don't want to get too excited yet, since it has only be a few days but it is unusual. I have had little twingy pains once or twice, but no cramping. Light to mostly nonexistant spotting, no pink or red just a little brown. Was wonderig what other peoples experiences where, not sure if I want to take a test yet, what do others think?

where to get maternity cloths

gwen7 — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:33:58 +0000

I am looking for tall maternity cloths that don't look like they belong in the 1970s or cost a fortune. Any local suggestions or am I stuck buying them online?

Pregnancy Website?

ladyram09 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:29:26 +0000

I was perusing the bump's website before I was prego and stumbled upon a really cool link to another website that shows week by week what is going on with the baby (fetal development) and another tab shows what the mommy's body is experiencing, and then another tab explains what Mommy should be doing (like pre-natals, getting lots of rest, proper exercise, etc). It was a really neat site. Problem is, I am now prego and now I can't can't find it! Anyone know what I am talking about? It was a link in an answer to one of the Q&A boards.

Please help! I am going crazy! Thanks!!!

Weird Nausea

Annasereth — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:00:25 +0000

So I'm 6.5 weeks and haven't been throwing up or anything, (although there were a few times I was close) but I've had the weirdest symptoms of nausea. Basically, I can't "think" about food. The smell doesn't bother me, and the taste doesn't bother me once it's in my mouth, but having to think about what to eat makes me nauseous.

So for example...the other day I woke up, felt okay, went to the kitchen and thought..."hmm what should I eat for breakfast...eggs? (stomach churns), oatmeal? (bit more nauseous), etc etc....the list went on...and everything I thought about made me want to hurl. Eventually I had to suck it up and eat something, and once I started eating it I was fine...but thinking about food makes me sick. I finally went to the store and bought all the foods that when I think about them, I don't feel nauseous. These included bananas (weird seeing as I usually don't like banans that much), yoghurt, and some protein bars. Then I bought the recommended saltines and ginger ale.

So for those of you who are having weird symptoms like me (or any)...here is what I found helps tremendously: Ginger ale and saltines, or any fizzy drink really. I quite like the Canada Dry Sparkling waters since I don't drink soda really. Chewing a minty gum...works like a charm, ginger chews (if you like ginger), and eating/snacking very often...and for me this is like every hour. As soon as I start to feel a little nauseous I'll munch on some crackers or chew some gum for a while. Also, as soon as you get up, drink some water and chew on some crackers. That helps too. Anyway! Just thought I would share in case any of you are experiencing this for the first time like I am

Silly Question...

magtree10 — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:55:32 +0000

I got up too quickly and it caused by belly section to stretch - which hurt a little. I stopped for a moment then stood up slowly from there but it made me think if I just hurt my baby. I'm 8 weeks and this is my first so every little thing I seem to notice. Should I worry about this?

Have our screening ultrasound tomorrow

ColoMomToBe — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:00:58 +0000

Going to the doctor at 11am for our screening ultrasound. I'm a little nervous, just hope the little guy or girl is ok! All the genetic screening blood tests have come back negative so far so that's comforting at least. Can't wait to see how much the baby has grown since our last "pictures."

Sun shades for car

Hi,

Does anyone have a sun shade they love and would recommend? I drive a Subaru Legacy Sedan and have tried suction cup type as well as cling type, but not seems to work well.

I'm particularly looking for a shade for the rear window.

Thanks.

zophran pump

ColoKristi — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:54:12 +0000

Hello,

I have hyperemesis and they just recently put me on a zophran pump. I was wondering if anyone else has been or is on this pump and how it is working? I am trying to stay optimistic that it might work but am skeptical. I am 9 weeks and have been in the hospital twice. Any advice or comments on the pump would be welcomed.

Thanks,

Hi ladies!

We just found out I am 5 weeks with our first baby. We will be seeing family on Halloween, and since we will have had our 8 wk appointment a few days prior we thought it would be fun to tell everyone then.

Any fun Halloween-ish ideas you can think of?

Thanks!!

I need a babysitter or I can be a babysitter

SequettaS — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 15:45:41 +0000

I want to start a small 3 kid daycare or I need some who watches kids.

I priced daycares and they want to charge me 1,200 dollars a month for a 6 week old.

If I was watching a child I could never charge someone that much money. Its a baby! They need love and someone to care for them... Not someone to hustle money from their parents.

So, Does anyone run a daycare or would like me to watch their children. My baby is due in March and I would like to start watching children in April or June. Or have someone help me in April or June and not charge me 1,200 dollars a month.
