Due April/May 2016

@Jay-Bee, I am also feeling the same, nervous/scared and actually scared to get excited. I wish that we could just know that everything is okay the moment we conceive but that is wishful thinking. But like everyone says we should keep the faith and just believe
I just have horrible moods and I feel down most of the time, I really hope that this will pass
I actually wake up about twice at night, but also go to the loo about twice before I go to bed lol
What time will you be going for your scan on Friday?
I scheduled mine for the morning lol

@Jaybee - Yes I am almost done with my first trimester! I feel the same - once the first trimester is over, the "danger" period is over.
I am feeling slightly better with times - I hope it will be all gone after 12 weeks.
Almost friday and time for your scan! Mine is next week Thursday and it is a big one where doctor measures everything and down syndrome tests etc.
I get up more than 4 times per night to urinate. It definitely is a symptom and it gets a bit better in the 2nd Trimester but gets worse again in the last trimester as the baby then gets bigger.

@ Nikita, I am also using the PregOmega Plus and extra folic acid Exactly one week behind me. Are you also nervous and excited for your upcoming can? My scan is on Friday and I am nervous/scared that something is wrong but also excited at the same time.

I spoke about MS yesterday and think that I jinxed it a bit as today I also have slight motion sickness and feel like something is sitting in my throat. Come to think of it I can definitley eat a packet of salt and vinegar chips.

Do you ladies urinate a lot? It is really a joke as I timed myself last night and I go every 17 minutes and wake up 3 times during the night. I read that your kidneys are working extra hard and that when you lay down water from your legs and body drains to your bladder I must sure be carrying loads of water

@ Ninies, you are also almost done with your first trimester, I can't wait for that as then some worry will be over.

How is the rest of the ladies?

Morning Ladies,

@Blou - I am using PregOmega Plus with extra folic acid.

@MTC - How are you feeling?

I think I had my first wave of MS yesterday afternoon, it felt like motion sickness. It was horrific at least I didn't get sick, I was very close though....
I am 7 weeks today, 12 more days to go before my scan. I almost bought bread and a packet of simba chips yesterday, I had a craving for chips on bread

Hi ladies,
@Blou - I used pregnavit when I found out I was pregnant and got these terrible terrible headaches. So I stopped it. My doctor also then confirmed that it is the iron that caused it. I have not used it since. I used pregomega with my son - it is just expensive and also very big tablets.
The other day a lady at my sons school was telling me that she read about a lady that was due for her c-section the following day. She felt the baby the day before the c-section and not again the evening. When they did the c-section, the baby was stilborn and the autopsy showed it was caused by too many vitamins. I dont know how true it is that vitamins could cause still births. But I will probably start taking preg omega again after my 12 week scan.

@Nikita - I am doing well today, thank you. Try Movicol for constipation - it helped for me.

@ninies & @MomToChloe, I am doing well thank you for asking

No new symptoms to report, feeling a bit better in the last week, will be 12 weeks on Thursday, cannot believe my first trimester is almost over! Next scan on Monday so cannot wait for that

As I will have to start taking prenatals again later this week, are any of you familiar with Pregnavit? I have always had a problem swallowing tablets, especially big ones, they seem to get stuck in my throat, and most prenatals are big tablets

I see pregnavit are capsules, so I am considering buying it, but not sure if it is good? I used Nestlé Materna when I found out I was expecting.

Maybe I could use the pregnavit with an additional Omega 3 capsule? What do you ladies think?

Morning Ladies,

@MTC - I hate constipation really , I don't know if what I have is a pregnancy symptom I actually want to check lol. I also don't know when we will start buying the "big" stuff as I think my MIL will actually want to buy everything, so we will wait and see what we get and so forth. I will buy baby toiletries but will also only buy a few clothes as people always give clothes with baby showers. If we don't get enough clothes then I can go and buy some afterwards. Any new symptoms on your side?

@Jay-Bee - I am waiting for the morning sickness. Today I am not nauseous just dizzy. I actually had some bran before I left home this morning, and now I am hungry again.

@Ninies - how are you feeling today?

Interesting fact, on Sunday I went to pick 'n pay to buy a few things and I bought the shredded bran (Pick 'n Pay brand) and I also checked the Kellogg's brand, the Kellogg's brand had more sugar in it, so I opted for the pick 'n pay brand way less sugar. I was really surprised.

AFM - I am really nervous for my first scan, and it is only on the 12th
I had breakfast around 7:15 and I am hungry again So far I have picked up .8 so my weight is on 60.8kg now. I was 60kg middle August.
Last night I started crying while washing dishes, I mean seriously. DH is taking it all to well, he told me to leave everything and to get into bed lol he is really amazing
