Thank you!

I will definitely try the ginger rooibos as well as the ginger biscuits, mints and sour sweets! (I don't have an appetite at all, and I'm taking my supplements in the evening since last week - which helped a bit)

We told our families after we confirmed the pregnancy with a blood test and our friends this past week. We just couldn't keep it quiet! LOL!

We set up the camera as if we wanted to take a family photo - but actually it's set on recording - so when everybody is looking into the camera ready for the timer to go off, my hubby said - "1 2 3 say...we are expecting!". So now we have their reactions recorded! At first they thought it was a joke to get them smiling, but soon realised it's for real!

Congrats Happyface

morning sickness is the worst. i heard ginger tea helps as well as ginger biscuits, i am living on sour worms and mint sweets as they seem to be helping me.

we all have our gynae app's across the next couple of weeks, lets keep each other updated.

Have you told any one abt your good news yet?

i was at the glen yesterday, and my hubby kept picking up baby clothes, but only for boys, and my eyes seem to only drift to the boy things, my mother in law says that means we gonna have a girl lol.

good morning ladies,

Congrats Happyface may you have a blessed pregnancy.
you get a ginger rooibos tea that helps. ginger kookies might alos help.
the only thing that keeps it bearable for me is snacking very often.
if you're taking pregnancy vitamins, you can stop that and only take folic acid till it get a bit better, or try and take the vits at night

yesterday i craved something sour, so i got sour worms, and that actually also helped a bit for the morning sickness - i have it absolutely constantly

hope you all have a wonderful day

Hi there!

I am new to the site! I am 6 and a half weeks pregnant - and can only make an appointment to see my gyne next week when he is back. My excepted due date is 29 Aug (according to the due date calculators) This is my 1st pregnancy - I was off the Pill for just over a month before we got the wonderful news!

I was nauseas from the day I found out I was pregnant (mostly in the afternoon), but this morning the most terrible morning sickness hit me. I've been up since 4:30...

Any advice on how to make it better?

Thanks! Looking forward to this journey with you all!

hey stella, i wish it were so simple for me. i cant seem to stomach rooibos tea and every one telling me it helps.

i also have to wait for the morning sickness to pass before starting preg omega plus. my gynea will tell me next week if i can start taking it.

its my 1st pregnancy and i really struggled to fall pregnant, so for me its a miracle that i am so grateful for.

i am taking folic acid, but i have been taking it from before i fell pregnant so its not a task for me, my GP put me on ecotrin. he says it helps prevent miscarriage so im taking that as well but that makes me extremely queasy so i drink it at night before i go to sleep.

i cannot wait for my 1st scan i am super excited.

thanx ladies,

the morning sickness is just terrible. didn't have it at all with my first.
i'm drinking ginger rooibos tea, and it helps a little bit, also snacking very often.

with us, hubby is still processing. our first is now only 9 months old, so the 2 will be much closer than he had in mind. but he is at least very positive about it and already planning a wood project. he will make a toddler bed so that baba can get the cot.

with vitamins, folic acid is the most important for first trimester. and do yourself a favor and get a calcium supplement as well.
i'm only taking folic acid and calsium at the moment. will get the PregOmega Plus as soon as the morning sickness gets better

looking forward to seeing you scan pics, these first few scans are the most beautiful as you can still see the whole baba on the screen, and they move around the most

Congrats StellaK. Just remember you are not alone with the morning sickness lol.

I can imagine Belly, my husband is over the moon, considering its our 1st. only thing hes worried about is whether it is a girl or a boy. says he cant get a gun to protect a daughter.

my doc put me on folic acid and ecotrin. think from this week he might put me on preg omega plus.

what about you guys?
