9 weeks prego...questions +

pshukla4

hi all,

this is my 2nd baby.  i have a few questions in hopes that someone can provide insight.

1. unlike my 1st baby, i'm starving, starving this time around.  with my son i was hungrier, but not like this.  and i need food that's heavy like carbs, pasta, rice, bread, etc.  i don't mind fruit but cannot stand veggies (abnormal for me).  anyone else?

2. i have nausea from 2pm-bedtime.  it sucks.  nothing has helped; no meds (including Zofran!).  any tricks that helped you?

3. finally, my belly is already out!  i'm only 9 weeks but by 8 weeks i couldn't hide it and look 4 mos prego, especially after eating.  is this normal and is this because this is my 2nd?

thanks!

1. Every pregnancy is different.

2. no advice here.

3. You tend to show quicker with each pregnancy.

Hey there. See the bolded below! I did my best! Congrats and welcome.

1.) 1st baby, i'm starving, starving this time around.  with my son i was hungrier, but not like this.  and i need food that's heavy like carbs, pasta, rice, bread, etc.  i don't mind fruit but cannot stand veggies (abnormal for me).  anyone else? Plenty of people experience this. Every pregnancy is different. Don't expect it to be exactly the same as your first. 

2. i have nausea from 2pm-bedtime.  it sucks.  nothing has helped; no meds (including Zofran!).  any tricks that helped you? Hard candy (lemon drops, ginger drops, caramel candies, or jolly rancher). Plain peppermint tea. Plain ginger tea. Lemonade. Try everything until something works for you. Strangely, pickles and the brine helped me. I know it sounds gross but you can sip the brine diluted in water. It was a miracle for me during first trimester. 

3. finally, my belly is already out!  i'm only 9 weeks but by 8 weeks i couldn't hide it and look 4 mos prego, especially after eating.  is this normal and is this because this is my 2nd? Its gas right now. Baby is too small for you to be showing yet. I have had multiple pregnancies and didn't start actually showing until second trimester. You will have plenty of time with your belly. Right now focus on getting through first trimester.

1 . I'm the same way !! I used to eat so many vegetables and now the make me want to vomit. No all I can eat is carbs like you . I am a little worried though because I can gain 5 to almost 10 pds in a week literally if I don't watch what I eat .

I am not eating anything at all these days. I cannot seem to stomach hardly anything. I seem to only be able to manage Saltines and ice cream or milkshakes. This is my 3rd pregnancy and this is by far my worst yet. My nausea is terrible. With DS I was nauseous but was at least able to eat and actually I felt like I ate non-stop.

And you definitely aren't showing yet just bloat.

I am trying to focus on just making it through the next few weeks until the 2nd trimester and I just hope the nausea subsides by that one. I know it is probably hard to focus on that but try to and maybe that will take your mind off of things.
