Maybebaby, thank you so much! You have no idea how happy i am to be in this thread...weeelllll...maybe you do! LOL But i am simply in my glory and praying that all continue to go well! Add me to the Due Date list !

ladies, is it normal not to have any sickness at 5 weeks? I dont have any and am getting worried! Sore bb's though, but not extremely sore.

[Rob&Irina]

Michygirl,

i had no sickness at 5 weeks... had a few bad days between weeks 7 & 8 and that's it... i actually feel really good now

Okay, i'm venturing over here too. My edd is Jan 30th so i slip in by a little bit Boston, please let me know how those preggie pops and crystallized ginger work. I am planning on getting a bellaband after work, my pants are unbuttoned under my shirt right now but i have to remember to keep buttoning them before leaving my office!!!
Michygirl, I only have a little m/s right now and I know w/ my first pregnancy i didn't feel it till a bit later. But i was also not able to eat for weeks w/ my first pregnancy. I'm hoping that's it's a little better this time...

[Michygirl]

Oh Irena, thank you so much i feel better now! I was getting worried. What i do have is back pain, like air pockets. But other than that i am mfeeling good. Not even that much uterus cramping, only some slight ones once in a while. So i dont want to wish myself ill...LOL...but you know how "worry" can kick in.

[Michygirl]

cat915, thanks! I am so jealous that we are almost exactly on the same dates but you are getting an U/S so soon. i have to wait until June 12...lucky girl you are...LOL!

I think we can all relate to the worrying or lack of things to worry about! Today I woke up and I swear my stomach is smaller than it was two days ago. Of course, I'm freaking out and making my DH examine it. I'm overly worried since we traveled all weekend. The reality is it is probably a result of no more vacation eating... i.e. my daily morning room service breakfast of hot chocolate, oj, omelette, potatoes, and a bagel! Can you say eating for 3?? My DH kindly responding that maybe I'm just getting wider rather than just my stomach poking out. Men!

Oh, and I forgot to take my prenatal last night (it was still packed and I was exhausted) so another thing to worry about. That 2nd u/s can't come fast enough!

[JustPeachy]

I think I may finally buy some pregnancy books today. I was thinking that the more I knew about exactly what was happening daily the more I would worry. But, I'm ready... so any suggestions?

Anyone out there with multiples have any great books geared towards them? Thanks!

[cat915]

one night w/out a prenatal is okay, don't worry too much peachy. I was so sick w/ my first pregnancy that my dr said it was okay to skip a few days. It's good to take but some missing doesn't hurt. the most important time is supposedly right before you conceive & the couple weeks thereafter for the folic acid. Oh and that breakfast on room service sounds awesome!!! I'm about to take myself over to Panera for lunch.

Michygirl, i'm really excited about tomorrow too- hoping that they will see a sac right where it should be. I willl have my second u/s the same day as your first and that will hopefully be amazing as we should be able to see the heartbeats!

Peachy, I like the girlfriends guide to pregancy. It's amusing and informative. My friend (who has 5 year twin girls) loved "Mothering Multiples" and swears by a nursing pillow that will hold two at once. She says she read tons of books while the girls nursed!

Cat,

i didn't say they were all "educational"... hehe... some are just fun like Belly Laughs and Knocked Up...

[JustPeachy]

Thanks girls! I like the ones that have cute stories alongside and aren't just all scientific so I had heard the girlfriend's guide was a good choice. Catherine, kudos to your girlfriend. Breastfeeding twins is not an easy feat! I'll definitely look into her book suggestion and the special boppie pillow when the time comes.

that's what i've heard... got it yesterday, but haven't looked at it yet

[maybebaby]

Rob& Irina- of course you can join! I’ll edit the list Good news with the U/S!

Havana- I agree, we can probably shorten pout signatures a bit- I will definitely edit mine

I will update the list shortly, off to a meeting see you all later!

[cat915]

I loved looking at the signatures as i was going through ivf and now i like looking at them to see what the first betas were and how many babies people are having. I do shorten mine a little each time i add something though
