Good Morning!

 I had an appointment yesterday and listened to my LO's heartbeat...SO cool.  Also my doctor said LO is a "mover and a shaker" (he found the heartbeat right away but then it kept moving!) and that is a good sign right now.  Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll start to feel my LO...!

 I have been leaning more toward salty and spicy foods than sweet, but I do get my chocolate craving occasionally.  No real "cravings" but there are times that I just absolutely HAVE to have certain foods, and then it passes and I'm back to just wanting salty stuff.

tvg1977

Hello!  I'm Traci (tvg1977), 32 yrs old and expecting our first child on 4/18/10.  We got married this summer and got pregnant on the first cycle without birth control... yay!  So excited that I am starting to show a little.  Next appt with the nurse midwife is a week from today and I can't wait to hear that heartbeat again.

 I work nights as a nurse practitioner in a hospital, so I am online sporadically and mostly while at work overnight!  Please to meet you all.

stacynikki

Salty stuff here. At least in the beginning. It's evened out some but I mostly crave fresh fruit. I can't eat enough apples! I get to find out for sure if we are having another boy tomorrow! I'm so excited!

tvg1977

Food cravings: during the first trimester it was all sour and salty.  Mostly that was because I had this constant gross taste in my mouth and nothing tasted good except sour foods.  I drank a lot of lemonade!  I don't really have a lot of cravings currently.  I have a couple of aversions though: seafood (which I used to love) and I still find plain water difficult to drink. 

Jennicap

Morning all! I may have felt the baby move yesterday, or it might have just been gas... it was this bubbly vibration in my lower left. It lasted about 20 seconds and then was over, long enough for me to go whoa what is that? So now I wait for it to happen again so I can compare!

I've been craving pasta a lot, I eat it almost every other day, I can't get enough of it! Other than that I've been craving sweets lately, hot cocca is becoming a favorite hot drink!

septbrideva

Good Morning.

I guess I needed to provide a little more info on myself. My name is Anna and I am 35 I am due on the 23rd but I will have to have a c-section so I am sure I will have that scheduled sometime before then. I get to join everyone over here on the second trimester in less than a week - I am so excited!

I don't think I really have been craving too much. I craved hot crab dip for a couple days and had to break down and make some and then I want a blizzard from Dairy Queen about once a week but that is about it. I have my appetite back after being nauseated for so long and I think I am making up for it.

TXgrlnFL

Hi Ladies!

QOTD: I can't say that I am craving anything particular. I'm still battling m/s, so I eat what I can - plain baked potatoes and saltines. However, I have no urge to eat anything sweet. The thought makes me queasy.

As an update, I have my NT scan and bloodwork today. I'm looking forward to seeing my LO. It seems like it have been forever since the last u/s (at 8 weeks). Although I am fairly calm these days, I do still have a little anxiety about everything being "ok".

Hope everyone has a great day!!

What foods have you been craving/wanting? Are you having actually cravings or just going to certain foods more than others? They say if you crave sour its a boy and sweet is a girl!

I haven't had any major cravings throughout this pregnancy. Just been hungry more for the past few weeks and tend to seek out the bad carbs and tons of fruit. But I have always craved chocolate and that's no different. I had chocolate sponge candy yesterday, YUM.

Have a super day everyone!

dvroxy

My cravings have been potatoes of any kind and anything fried!  I am trying to be as good as possible, but every once and a while, I ask DH if he can run to Chic-Fil-A for me :P.  And to the sweet and sour question, I must be having a boy then, lol.

Missyjg - I am so jealous you had sponge candy yesterday.  Anytime I go up north (my family is from New York), I load up on the stuff.  Here in Florida, we can't get it because the molasses doesn't set.  Very upsetting.

ajetter

Had my third appointment yesterday.  Everything is still looking good!  She said my NT Scan and bloodwork looked great, and the heartbeat was in the upper 140s.  4 weeks until we find out what we are having!!!

QOTD:  I don't crave something specific all the time, I just come up with something I want and I really must have it!!!  Last week it was hamburger helper and smores.  Right now I really want fondue.  I am enjoying salty things, and chocolate.  Pretty normal for me!  The only thing that still makes me want to gag is a chicken breast.  Who knows why.

Jen N El

QOTD:  I have been craving chips and dip lately and could eat them for every meal! 

Still have m/s - I was hoping that it would pass by now.  Other then that things are going well - wearing maternity pants exclusively now!  I couldn't take regular pants anymore - and I must say I LOVE ELASTIC WASTEBANDS!!!!

Hope everyone has a good day!

Mrslisvenn

im on a bland diet now so i crave everything in sight.. i miss food!!!?

amynicoletta

I usually lean towards mac and cheese, applesauce...not really cravings just like how those foods taste better. I crave both salty and sweet so I still have no clue!

I am so happy to be in the 2nd tri. I love it and can't believe I'll be 14 weeks this Saturday!

sstar1308

buffalo chicken sandwiches and chocolate milk!! ummm!

Thanks for the info, I updated you... I don't push not everyone likes to share their name and age! glad you could join us!

aspears2

I want pretty much anything I hear about or see on TV but the only thing I have actually craved is nachos with picante sauce. It was the most amazing thing ever when I actually ate it!!

Niclas&Elizabeth

I'm still eating anything that doesn't make my stomach say "ugh." ?I've been eating mostly comfort foods - stew, chili, potatoes, etc. ?It's beginning to FINALLY get cold here, so comfort foods are the way to go. ?I've not heard of the sweet/sour thing before. ?Intriguing....

sddriggs

Good morning ladies!! We went Monday for our monthly check-up and everything went well.  We got to hear the heartbeat.  It was in the upper  140s.  We scheduled our appt for our big u/s.  I can not wait!! It can not get here soon enough!

I don't really have any cravings other than cheese.  At first it was nachos and cheese and now its any kind of cheese will do.  I also have been drinking lots of oj which is unusual for me. 

LaTida1

Not really craving anything.  Still don't have a good appetite.  But I drink a lot of really sour lemonade and lately honey barbecue twisted fritos.

Aug Bride

Morning Ladies!

What foods have you been craving/wanting? - I have not been really craving anything other than Mexican.  Breakfast burritos especially.  

Are you having actually cravings or just going to certain foods more than others? - I am just going toward more foods than others.   I have not been craving sweet or sour.  With my DS I was craving a lot of meats and salt and this time nothing.  So maybe it is a girl.  We will find out next month for sure.

beanie00914

I want alot of fruits and sweet stuff right now.... and Chocolate milk

tsu_04

Nothing really but Mexican Food...can't get enough!

bobbidall

QOTD:  I am not really craving anything specific.  Mostly Chinese and Japenese food.  I've had edamame for the last 4 days straight.  I am a big ice cream person, but haven't wanted that lately.  More candy for sweets. 

DarleneM83

I'm still battling m/s so i eat what i can keep down.  But these last few days I seem to always want PB & J sandwiches with ice cold milk. 

DASHSKIDADDLE

What foods have you been craving/wanting? I did crave Spaghetti for a few days, then pickles. Nothing that I just had to have...

tobereich

Good Morning!

Not much to report this week. Next doctor appointment is on the 20th - looking forward to hearing the heartbeat again. We are driving up to Minnesota this weekend to go to the Mall of America. Need to start buying maternity clothes!

QOTD: I really don't crave anything lately... eating as I normally would. For a while I was craving potatoes and then tacos. But nothing really now.

lildevil968

Good Morning ladies, and happy hump day!

I had my Dr. appointment on Monday, and everything went GREAT! They did yet another ultrasound and the blood clot is still there, but it is no longer in a threatening position, and should not show itself until birth atleast! My DD got to see the baby for the first time. We could see the heart, head, spine, leggs, and butt. I think we have a shy one because everytime we would try and look at the face, the baby would cover his/her face with the hands! The HB is in the 150's.

QOTD:   What foods have you been craving/wanting? Are you having actually cravings or just going to certain foods more than others? They say if you crave sour its a boy and sweet is a girl!

~ I have been craving Taco Bell, and Orange Juice like you wouldn't believe! Pre-Pg I had a pretty bad sweet tooth, but now nothing! But I also crave everything pumpkin, not sure about craving it because it is sweet, I think it's because it's that time of year.

SissyKate21

Update: Had a Dr. appointment yesterday. Got to hear the little Gupling's heartbeat again - although he/she wouldn't hold still very long. DH got a little bit of it recorded on his phone which was great to listen to on the ride home.

QOTD: The cravings seem to have stopped. I am able to think about eating real food again...not just macaroni & cheese with a side of sherbet. I actually had a salad with my meal yesterday...it was so good eating foods that I remember enjoying!

A staple for me is apples. But I have always eaten apples - especially during autumn when the best varieties are out. And I have been really enjoying oatmeal again. Yogurt is once again delicious. Ah, food...I have missed our relationship.  

Now that my taste buds are settling down (a bit, not entirely) I might even try cooking my usual favorites again. (I had the hardest time when my favorite beef stew tasted like a bowl of metal.)  

 

kwhitson

morning ladies!  Update: I had my monthly appt yesterday at 14weeks.  Got to see the baby again and everything looks great!  He/She has changed so much since our sonogram at 10 weeks.  It's amazing how much changes in just 4 weeks.  We also scheduled our big anatomy sonogram - I'll be 19 weeks then and can't wait to see LO again.

As for cravings - nothing major right now.  I am definitely more of a salty food person.  I feel guilty because I haven't been eating too healthy - I need to work more fruits and veggies into the diet!

SMCbride2b

I've taken a personal day from work today. I've been experiencing heart palpitations for the last few days (which the doctor said were normal in early pregnancy) and just needed some time to relax. And besides my MIL getting on my case to write thank you notes from our wedding, I've had a pretty good morning.

QOTD:   I've been wanting lots of salty things. Pizza, chips, pretzels (you know, the healthy foods...lol). One actual craving (I felt like I would actually cry if I couldn't get some) was fried mozzarella cheese sticks with marinara sauce. Yum!

annierific

Good Morning... ahhh feels good to be here in the 2nd trimester. i threw up yesterday though... but still- feels good!

 Hope everyone is feeling fine!

I crave cin. toast cruch and chocolate milk, but also sour things like sour patch kids!! Mashed potaoes too...so, everything...

I love being into the second trimester.

canesbaby

I haven't had any cravings yet except for water/liquid in the beginning when I always felt like I was dying of thirst. I guess I put salt on everything now, which I didn't used to do.

My 16 week appointment is next week... can't wait! Hopefully we'll talk about the big ultrasound and schedule it before we go visit family for TG. I'm so excited to see the little one- but we aren't finding out the gender. Go Team Green!

rachelbeth85

Good Morning!

My name is Rachel (rachelbeth85), I am 24 years old and this is our first baby. My due date is April 27, 2010. We don't know what we are having yet.

Lately, the only food that sounds good is fruit.

I can't wait to come over to the 2nd tri board, only about a week to go!

MrsNikkiMc

Had the financials and intake meeting at my doctor's office yesterday, with my second appointment coming up in 3 weeks! Exciting times. On another note, I had my flu shot yesterday and feel like total and utter crap, which is not exciting.

My aversions have largely been for sweets. It was my husband's birthday last week, and the thought of cake and ice cream was absolutely sickening. I would certainly say that I have been gravitating more to salty/sour foods.

Mylittlehill

Update:  I moved over to the 2^nd Tri board this morning.  My mom believes I?m having a boy and my DH believes it?s a girl.  I really want a girl, but have a pit feeling it?s a boy.  I will be happy with either.  I just want a healthy baby.

QOTD:  Occasionally I get cravings for Taco Bell (I stick with the fresco tacos), KFC spicy chicken wings and Wendy?s chili.  Thank heavens they are all a drive away from where I live and the cravings come every blue moon around 10 - 11pm at night.  Poor DH jumps into the car in search of my tummy?s desire.  The other day it took him over an hour to bring back the spicy chicken wings.  I was worried and asked what happened.  He said it was almost closing time and KFC had run out.  But they must have seen the desperation on his face and made him a fresh batch since he was so willing to wait.  Baby and I were smiling from ear to ear if that is possible.  LOL

cajungirl0717

I am super excited because I have an OB appoinment at 1:30 today. It is for blood work. I don't know if I will get an U/S or not *i've gotten one at each appt so far). I am just wanting to hear heartbeat.

QOTD:   What foods have you been craving/wanting? Are you having actually cravings or just going to certain foods more than others? They say if you crave sour its a boy and sweet is a girl!

I haven't really had "cravings". When I see something I want, I get it, just as I did pre pg. Now someone just posted about mashed potatoes. I want mashed potatoes. If I read about some foods, I want them. And as far as sweet/sour it depends on my day. I LOVE sour candy, but sometimes I prefer sweet. And sometimes salty

lindseystenlund

My cravings change by the week it seems like... right now it's Pepsi or Coke, I just want that sweet fizzy cola.  I do like my sweets- halloween candy aisle is dangerous for me.  I also found Honeycrisp Apples, they are the best apples I've every had, so I need one of those every day... oh and strawberry yougart.  Damn, now I'm hungry! 

Duke01

Could you change my due date back to the 24th.  Sorry and Thanks.

 I've been gone for almost two weeks....I was on my Honeymoon!!  Glad to be back.  We heard the heartbeat on Friday and we told the family this last weekend.  They are super excited.  I am excited that I can finally tell people. 

I am craving ice cream so hopefully that means its a girl!!  But I always go for the sweets so it might not mean anything.  I am keeping it down to a small bowl every other day if I can help it.  I really don't want to pack on un-needed pounds.  I did enroll in a prenatal yoga class that starts next month. 

Pickybod

Carbs and salt are my go to foods of the moment.  Mexican food...I just can't get enough of it.

kelcat

Good moring!  I really haven't had any cravings, but if I see or hear of something that sounds good I must have it, like now.  We were grocery shopping on Sunday and my DH asked if I would make rubens this week and I swear I sounded like Homer Simpson, mmm rubens.  So of course I made them.  I've been wanting, and not necessarily eating, a lot of sweet stuff, candy, cookies, cake.  It doesn't matter.  I am planning on making a pan of frosting covered brownies this weekend though.
