TTC/Preggers Check-In March 2

[MSJ]

Anne--I'm praying for you and your baby. I'm having knee issues too, so I took a rest week and am feeling much better. I think I'm getting osteoarthritis and after I have this baby, I'm going to go see a doctor about all my recurring injuries/aches/pains.

I usually get morning sickness between 6 and 8 weeks and the level has been different everytime. One time I hardly had any at all and another one I vomited frequently and everything in between.

My sympathies to all who are still feeling sick. I'm feeling much better, but still I have this primal hunger that just doesn't end. I cannot eat less than 2500 calories per day and I'm gaining weight like there is no tomorrow, even thought this is the healthiest I've ever eaten during a pregnancy. If I eat less, I feel sick and light headed. I'm not even too upset, just feeling sort of resigned, like it's totally out of my control.

We have no fun plans this weekend, but my husband promised to work on our bathroom remodel. He started last June, thinking it was a summer project, and then I hoped it would be done before the holidays and now I think it will be unfinished for the rest of my days. At least the toilet is in.

take care all
Maggie

Anne!!!!!!!! That is so exciting about your HCG levels!! I am grinning ear to ear for you! Keep us updated!!

Morris, I feel like Jello too. Yuck. Hope you have a fun time at the wedding. Wedding cake!!!

Autumn, Hello! I love your signature line!!

Jen, I heard from a midwife that as long as you have 2 years in between births VBACs are perfectly safe. Good luck deciding - that would be a tough one.

Maggie, LOL on the primal hunger!! I feel the same way. I've gained almost 3 pounds (and I'm only 8 weeks tomorrow!). Pretty disgusted with myself, but like you it seems totally out of my hands/control what I need to eat. Hope the remodel goes well.

===================================================
Well, the birthing center last night was wonderful! I made my first appt w/ them. The rooms look exactly like a bed & breakfast and the midwife that I met was great. My appt will be at the beginning of April when I'm 12 weeks and we'll be able to hear the heartbeat.

Eating has been pretty controlled today, other than the huge french fries out to eat for lunch! Not sure about a w/o.

Happy preggers, girls!

hi ladies

kate, the birthing center sounds great!

jen, what a tough decision. i know you will make a good choice though.

anne, did they follow your hcg levels that close last time?

i had a bad day here. work was insane, then i spent some time on the phone with my grandmother and it made me cry. she is concerned about my folks too - but it was too much for me today. i was going to drown myself in a bowl of ice cream, but i ran instead. now i am tired and sad. okay. enough of the pity party. i will be better later, i promise. have a good evening everyone

Morris, You burned off a pound instead of gaining one - good for you! Sorry you had such a bad day. I'm sure the news of your parents is very sad for your grandma. Crawl into bed nice and early - get DH to give you a back rub!

In my head I want to workout tonight but I am *so tired* I just want to go to bed. But if I got back to exercising regularly I probably would have more energy. Bad cycle.

Everybody get to bed early and we'll all feel better tomorrow!

Anne - That is great news!

Morris - Sorry about your whole family situation. It really is tough emotionally to have to go through.

Kate - I hear you about that cycle. I pushed myself to workout last night even though throughout the workout I felt nauseaus, I did feel better. Then I ate like a pig today because I thought I felt better only now to feel sick again which makes me not want to workout, but I want to because I know I'll feel better, but really need to push myself to do it.

Hi Maggie!

So I'm supposed to be working through the weekend and go to a wedding tomorrow night also. DH's bday is Sunday. Busy weekend. Hope the nausea eases.

OKay, Lisa.... you talked me into it!

I'm heading downstairs to do 4DS LIS cardio.

YAY!! Victory over my nausea!!
Thanks for the shot in the arm!

 

[chefkate]

Thanks again ,Lisa! I just finished what I set out to do. I felt so good I did the finished combos from HIS AND I still felt great so I did the 3rd blast, core, and a stretch.

Boy, I needed that!
Thank you, thank you!

Hello Melanie!

Good morning! I'm laying in bed feeling lazy (for no reason other than its Sat. AM and I can!). Need to get up and make breakfast for my Indians. I'm feeling pretty good - must be the great w/o I had last night! I won't get a chance to w/o until later tonight - really busy day, including a family pic. I want one done before I'm showing and I'm feelin' kinda chubby already so now's the time!

Good eats, workouts and attitiudes today! Have a great one!

 

[morris]

kate, the good attitudes are rubbing off. i feel so much better today. awsome job with the workout. enjoy family time this am.

lisa, you are busy this weekend. have fun at the wedding. hope the nausea stays away.

hi mel!

i slept great last night and am up early. i had a great workout - hilo dome and kick max blast challenge. now to pack and head to the airport!

havea good day everyone.

 

[chefkate]

Morris, A good night's sleep makes all the difference in the world.
Have fun this weekend!!

I apologize in advance if I don't post as much because the nausea has seem to gotten worst over night. I threw up 3x last night and didn't eat dinner or workout because I was feeling soooo crappy. I don't ever remember feeling this bad with any of my pgs prior. I have to force food down my throat and keep busy to not want to throw it back up. The smells seem to bother me more now also.

What is everyone up to this weekend? I have a wedding tonight and DH's bday brunch tomorrow. Hoping to squeeze a workout in somewhere when I'm not feeling too nauseaus, which seems to be few and far between these last few days.

Lisa

Oh Lisa!! Sending anti-nausea waves your way! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry to hear that! I feel pretty awful right now too. We had a long drive on the highway for our fam pic and that did me in. I just ordered pizza for the fam's dinner - again.

Good luck getting a w/o, try to have fun at the wedding, and I hope dh has a nice bday!
