so many stories.
well, i've only had one child and gave birth to her when i was 20. i did have a bit of sickness (mostly in the evenings). it's odd, but i found that pears helped. the moisture was nice and i found that they were okay in my poor tummy. i,too, did the saltines thing which was also fine. the only other thing i ate was fried rice (plain) and tapioca (of all things).
good luck to you...it's all worth it!

Thelma, you did scare me! I was scared from before! LOL

I've heard a ton of horror stories from various women. And overall, I REALLY hate to throw up. I can literally count on one hand the number of times I've thrown up in the last 15 years, just because I have a block against it! I'll sit nauseous for hours and hours rather than throw up, which is weird because actually giving in gets you relief.

Anyway, thigns are alraight for now. I jsut hope hey stay this way!

Congrats! wish you a very happy and healthy baby![lol][dancing-banana]

Duh, now I feel worse than before!! Sorry-sorry-sorry!!

As for morning sickness, how about adopting the mantra, "this too shall pass....."

AHH!! TYPO!

I meant to say you DIDN'T scare me. LOL my fingers weren't working yesterday!

Seriosuly you didn't scare me any more than I am already scared.

Bless your lil heart; both my sons were born Naturally, without drugs. (frankly, I Needed some there for a bit...) We used the Lamaz Method.. and it seemed to work fine. I gained 10 lbs with my first one...... and another 5 with the second!
Put yourself in the hand of The Mother; she Knows what she is doing. Do Not listen to those friends that want to tell you Horror Stories. Their Memories will not be Your Memories. I think Labor and Delivery is much easier if you stay in shape through out your pregnancy. YOU will be fine !

Just wanted to keep you guys up to date.

Last night (thursday night) I had some bright red bleeding (moderate, not too heavy) and cramping.

I went to the GP this morning (Friday morning) and she ordered an ultrasound to check for problems.

The ultrasound found that I have a normal yolk sac and foetal pole, good size, implanted properly and safely, but there was no heartbeat. The technician said that at 5 weeks and 6 days there should be a heartbeat but everyone is different and it may be too early. There were a few flutters that she saw but she said she couldn't be sure what they were, and so I have to go back for another ultrasound in a week. IN between there I'm on strict bed rest, and I still have the OBGYN appt on Tuesday that my GP advised me to keep and to take the ultrasound results to him and let him see them.

SO I've been trying to be optimistic, thiking happy baby thoughts! I'm still cramping a bit, but it could just be due to constipation. I stopped bleeding for most of the day and just had a little pale spotting.

Please light a candle or whisper a prayer my way! Thanks guys, I'll keep you posted!!

Selene, my love, STAY IN BED!! Get rest, and let Alex and/or family/friends wait on you for the next week.

I'm sending you all my love and positive thoughts!! Please keep us posted.

I'm trying, I'm trying! But I'm soo BORED!

dear god...I"m a girl who stays really active and busy...so to have to stay in bed for a week is the ultimate punishment

One day down and I've already gone through all my sudoku and crossword books, and I'm all out of novels anyway (cause I eat books for breakfast). *whimper*

But baby makes it worth it. I'll just lie here and contemplate the meaning of life!

If you have access to a TV and/or portable DVD player, now would be a good time to catch up on any movies you've been wanting to see. That may help to make the time pass a bit.

Or, if you're so inclined, how about sketching on a pad of paper while in bed?
