July 2011 Babies

hehe Victoria i agree its so hard to keep such an awesome thing secret! so glad my mum knows and had to tell a couple of workmates to work around doing stuff at work but want to tell everyone!!
Though no one will want to talk about pregnancy that much anyway so its good to have you ladies

Mmm i am loving the water, but not got dry lips? My skin is apparently looking good though (not sure if thats cos its oiler or drier..

oops forgot my signature, lol

Yeah I am. Kind of brewing it weaker than normal but I'm still have 1 or 2 in the morning when I get up. All of the info I've been able to find say it's considered safe to drink up to 3 cups.

Hi ladies

I'm not drinking coffee but I gave it up for my IVF cycle and I'm just a touch paranoid! Haha. I was a total coffee addict so even just having one would be like falling off the wagon I probably will have the occassional cup after I get past the 12 week mark though and by all accounts it's perfectly fine in small moderations. My skin is also looking really good and yes, totally thirsty! Especially during the night and I get really hot during the night too. Not really tired yet and no MS at all. Anyone else got not many symptoms?

Not a regular coffee drinker here, but had one yesterday after falling asleep on the couch just before the kids woke up! ALWAYS the way! My sleep is awful at the moment, can't get to sleep, and wake up in the night totally wired. Was awake from 2.20-4.10 this morning

It feels like life has slowed down already - I almost wish I hadn't tested so early, even though AF was already late! With DD we didn't know until I was almost 6 weeks, and didn't get symptoms until 8 weeks.

Smiles- its the amount of caffiene and that other ingredient. Gruana? Or something that isn't preggy friendly. I'd kill for a red bull O.O

Smiles on the back of the bottle it says your not meant to drink if you pregnant.. i think it has a fair bit of caffeine in it too as well guarana like Mum2Ollie says.. i was quite addicted and it was expensive (spending $20-30 a week on it and substituting it for food) so add that on top and its the easiest way to try and break my addiction
I have had two sips since finding out but i just felt guilty.. it makes my heart race when i drink it so dont want to risk it

mmm now i am thinking red bull too.. but instead i am going to get a bubble tea which for some odd reason i feel like, its nice and fruity flavoured with tapioca (sp?) balls at the bottom. Cant eat much either MrsMJD feeling blagh..

hey Nicolaann thats awesome
called my doctor back about the blood tests, apparently they dont test for HCG.. they say thats only to determine if i am pregnant.. i asked if i was just to assume everything was going as it should and she said yes unless you start bleeding.. Hmm cant wait to see the midwife next week i so hope she is better. Its my first baby so maybe i am being too over worried but at $50 a visit to the GP i would have thought she would have been more helpful and caring about what i want grrr anyway hope your all doing good!

Woohoo Nicolaann those are awesome numbers.

 

Panda I was surprised to find out that hCG levels weren't the norm. My Dr added one because I was only just due for my period but won't do a follow up unless theres a concern.But you are right your Dr should have been a bit more understanding about it!  It will be interesting to see how the Aussie systems works, you can give us all the inside goss .

 

Ariel you lurker! So great to hear your scan went well! Can believe you are 20 wks already!! I hope mine goes that fast, feels like ages at the moment lol. In saying that I'm keen for baby to stay right where he or she is until FULLY cooked  

Hi guys! Hopefully I belong in here too.. EDD 5th July, I have a 2year old son,
and had 2 miscarriages Nov 09 and Feb 10, so am SUPER paranoid, been 4 hcg tests yesterday and this morning, and waiting to hear what the numbers are doing..
Anyways.. Big congrats to everyone else in this thread!! :)
