Guest guest Posted February 1, 2000 Report Share Posted February 1, 2000 << I am thrilled I am pregnant. But I am also lost. I dont know what to expect. I dont know what it is my body is doing half the time. I have read several books (WTE and Girlfriend's Guide) but I need to hear from you all what you are going through. >> I read these, too... and felt exactly the same way you describe. It's all a distant, faded memory for me, however... heheh ... seriously, pregnancy was a bewildering experience for me. My likes, dislikes, EVERYTHING was different, like someone switched operating systems on me or something. I felt like my bones were held together with melted rubber bands. Even today my lower back hasn't completely recovered from the assault. I was amazingly emotional, with wide swings. Milk tasted JUST like you describe, like pudding or something, and I couldn't even stand the skim stuff. One of my biggest cravings was green chili salsa. I haven't had it ONCE since I had the baby, and don't even feel like trying it. I also wanted citrus things (except orange), but I haven't wanted THAT since, either. I had headaches often, especially at the beginning and at the end. My belly itched HORRIBLY and I got NEW stretch marks in new places to go along with the old ones from being at a BMI 50. -Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2000 Report Share Posted February 1, 2000 Tiredness gets better? I keep getting told to deal with it because I will be tired until the baby comes and then afterward!!!!!!! I can only hope I get a second wind and more energy. Rasley mailto:drasley@...

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2000 Report Share Posted February 1, 2000 Thank you thank you thank you for writing! This is what I need to know. That everything I am going through is normal because from how quiet the list was ... or seemed to be until I started whining .. I was thinking I was the only one going through this. The best way for me to describe it is that I feel like I am third month out from surgery again and I need to learn about my body (AGAIN) so that it doesn't turn on me. If it turns on me I get sick and strive to make friends with it again. Skim milk at this juncture seems okay but I have only been on it since about 1pm today but it is treating me better than the 2% did! Rasley mailto:drasley@...

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2000 Report Share Posted February 1, 2000 I am 9 weeks and I can relate. I am sooooooooo tired all the time. I get home at 5 in the evenings and I come straight in... speak to the animals and lay down on the couch and sleep for 3 hours. YES 3 hours!!!! I get up and do all my routine stuff and in bed by 11pm. I have gained 6 pounds since finding out I am pregnant. I have not had any cravings and about the only thing I have changed as far as what goes into my mouth is milk. So go figure. This is my first and all the annoyances so far have been bearable and welcome.. Except maybe the constipation!! grrrrrrrr and to top that off my OB put me on extra iron tablets as well..... GRRRRRR lol Hugs! Stacey bigger >> >> >> >> >> Hi I haven't posted for awhile I was moving.......anyhow I have a >> ??? for you all.

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2000 Report Share Posted February 1, 2000 I've had plenty of cravings and have followed through on most of them, but combined with nausea constantly, I've lost 4 pounds. I'm still wearing my size 8 clothes and they are only slighty snug around my belly. I'm 7 1/2 weeks along. All I can say is thank goodness I can't eat sugar or lactose! That's my only saving grace!

Guest guest Posted February 1, 2000 Report Share Posted February 1, 2000 Well, I'll tell you about my cravings, since I just read your post on them. I've been craving warm things like soups, hot pastas with marinara sauce. I've also been craving fat-free yogurt, fruit, crackers, bagels with cream cheese and lox, salads. I eat very healthy and try not to eat any fried foods. I can't eat very much at one time anyway, because I get nauseous. I graze all day, which I think has increased my metabolism. Besides, pregnancy will increase your metabolism anyway. This is my 2nd pregnancy, so ask me any questions you like.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 hi jenna thanks for the info. we had quite a debate over the lox at work. they just used the doppler thing to find the heartbeat. they didnt do an ultrasound actually. that will be ordered next time. i am 12 weeks now. i weigh 245 now. he said that it was kinda early to find the heartbeat this way and even in some very thin women they have trouble at this time. thanks for the help. julie bigger > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi I haven't posted for awhile I was moving.......anyhow I have a > > > > > ??? for you all.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2000 Report Share Posted February 11, 2000 I'm surprised they even tried to find a heartbeat through doppler that early. Usually you can't even hear it until 12 weeks. I hope it didn't worry you. Please let us know when you have your sonogram.
