Pregnancy buddies

[chantej23]

Hi ladies, i am looking for a pregnancy buddy. My EDD is Nov 27th.  Due to my previous irregular periods this is only an estimate. right now i think i am starting to feel the symptoms of early pregnancy. i no longer can go a long time without eating. sometimes right after i eat it feels as though i am hungry all over again. also every night i get up in the middle of the night to pee and get something to drink. Please share your symptoms and some tricks you have learned to handle them . thanks ladies.

OMG. you sound just like me. i love fruits, and veggies. i also love ceral. other then that its pretty much it or miss. Meats are okay but not a lot or i cant eat it.with my first two pregancies i could eat whatever i wanted but not with this baby. SOUP...thats my new fav. i love soup. they say the second trimester is better i sure hope so. things that i use to love to eat i can't even look at. however i crave salt all the time. i wonder what thats all about.

I have had simular symptoms.  This would be my third.  It seems to be more like my second, because with my son I couldn't almost eat anything.  With this one I want to eat, I am hungry, but when it's time to eat I feel full.  Then I'm always thirsty, then I need to go to the restroom, then I'm thirsty again.  I want coffee but it makes me sick.  If I take more than 3 sips of it, my hands becomes jittery, but I can drink pop or tea ( go figure).  What I find help me is if I eat things like yogurt, fesh fruits, veggies, like broccolli, carrots, stuff like that, or cold cuts like turkey or chicken.  I do however make them cut it in front of me though.  But as long as it not greesy I can minimize the sickness.  The hard part for me it that sometimes I still crave the greasy foods and I pay for it immediately.  I also treat myself to chocolate at least once per day, since I don't really eat too much other sweets.

I "try" to eat salads, lotsa veg, lean meat. I love love bread so I have been eating that between meals, if I don't I feel sick. I have juices, heaps of water, 1=2 cups of tea a day,(coming down from 10 cups of coffee a day). Yogurt, heaps of milk. I have kinda gone off really sweet food. I am always craving for salty food, but my doc told me to stay away from the salt cause my blood pressure is high (am on meds for this) I don't eat soft cheeses, or ready made salads (colslaw0, as they could contain listeria. I try and stay away from cold cuts that have already been cut and ask them to cut fresh. I don't eat cooked chicken that has been in the fridge more then 1 day, actually I avoid left overs (might sound paranoid).

yes you are this will be my third child my first was a fall/ winter pregnancy i love it but it seemed to take for ever. with my second it was during the summer. which it went by fast but it was so uncomfortable. it will be summer her for most of my pregnancy this time, but umlike the last time i have come prepared? lol. i hope P:) this is the first child for my boyfriend, i think its hard for him to reallize there is something in there. i cathc him lookin when he thinks im not watching. Men are so funny. i think it will really hit me as well when i start showing. can i ask you a question? what do you eat now that your pregant? it so hard for me to eat right.

I am so lucky tho, it is nearly winter here, and most of my pregnancy will be through the winter. I don't think I could stand a summer pregnancy.

I promised myself that I wouldnt' buy anything for the baby until after the 12 weeks, but I broke that promise and bought a Onesy. Its huge size 0. I showed it to my fiancée and he just beamed! his face lit up,and said its a bit big isn't it? He doesn't show a lot of emotion usually. I had a miscarriage last year in Oct, and he is very wary of getting hurt all over again.

we can be pregnancy buddies. i know excatly what your talking about. i feel hungry all the time too but when its time for me to eat i am not all that hungry. i have to try the popsicles i can see how they would help. last night i sent my boyfriend to get me a super slurpee and some fries by the time he got back i did not even want it. (lol) so he ate it.  i think nose bleeds are common in early pregnancy. with my daughter i got them often. i know what you mean about poking at the girls (boobs). i do the same thing wondering if they are still sore or is it in my mind. i think when you get pregnant you become at ease so you dont feel like going out alot however that might change when the summer gets here.

Ohhh yeahhhh totally agree with the symptoms you have! I got up 3 times to go to the ladies room last night, had a mild headache all night but it has gone now. I feel hungry all the time, but when I eat its like I am not really hungry at all. I found popsicles help me, sucking on them, only found that out because of my kids lol. My nose has just started to bleed slightly and getting snuffly. I have a hard time falling to sleep at night, my body aches and (I know this gonna sound weird) but it feels like its humming. I am a little worried about how thirsty I have been. I don't see my Doc for another week and a half so I guess I will have to ask her about it. Some days my boobs aren't all that sore, so I get to poking them to check to see if they are still sore (crazy) and end up making them sore. Sleeping is my hobby at the moment, and there has been some complaints from my friends that I am not the social butterfly I used to be. I have just turned 42 and at this time I feel sooooo olddd.

oh btw my EDD is 21st..
