Tonight is my last PIO shot!
I'm so happy I made it this far! When we started the shots ....this day seemed so far away... it's finally here! Little steps :)
I asked my Doctor this week and was told as long as you don't loose more then 10% body weight (which I'm far from!) it's all good... supposedly week 14 we will get our appetite back! I can't eat any red meat! I started eating chicken finally but went vegetarian for a while ! It's funny my vegetarian cousin ended up doing the opposite and started eating meat during her pregnancy!
@ erica try heating pad or epsom salt baths! I had knots for at least a week after stopping ... I still have a bit of some bumps and noticed my skin kinda stretched in that area as the swelling is going down :( I ordered some organic coconut oil and organic almond oil so I'm going to make a mixture of both those and try to use it all over and see if it helps .... not fun but totally worth every prick when I saw my little munchkins doing flips in my belly this week! I would do it all over again! How much longer do you have on the oil? I stopped at 10 weeks so not too long ago
@hmain I'm feeling better every day . Yey 12 weeks for both of us!!! I tried to ween off the diclegis (nausea medicine) this past weekend and that didn't go so well.... so I'm back on it on the smallest dose at least.. without it I'm náuseas all day long! Doctor this week said it was because I have two placentas . Double the fun!!! I can't wait to meet my little munchkins:) how's your nausea doing?
I just realised I never replied to you sorry!! Yes I probably will get the flu shot, I work in a school with very vulnerable young people so have had it for the last few years anyway so will get it again.
How are you feeling?? I'm 12 weeks today yay!!! Got my scan on Monday, can't wait!!
I'm trying to hold it in as long as possible , a bit also because I had a terrible first experience with my first pregnancy, thank goodness I didn't tell anyone about that one bc it would have been so difficult to explain. I guess im a bit traumatized. Walking in with a belly will be a hell of an entry!
About car seats...my cousin offered me her twin orbit system (she had kids back so had a double stroller) but I'm not too sure I like the safety of the car seats! My hubs and I are going to make a date at a baby store soon to go check them all out. We also need to figure out how we will fit two of everything! We can make it work.
@hmain are you going to get the flu shot? I've never gotten it and I don't think I will. I've heard people get sick from it
@expecting congratulations ? on your 13 week milestone :) I think I will wait till 12 weeks although I've been so sick at work that people probably don't believe me anymore when I say I'm not pregnant lol
A lot of my close friends and family know but not everyone in work, might be just easier to come back in august with a wee bump and say then!
They haven't mentioned genetic screening to me, just a test for Down's syndrome which they'll do at the 12 week scan. They did give me so much info though on car seats and the flu immunisation and a giant book that takes you through the whole pregnancy which was all great! I've got a few books myself already but I love freebies!lol
How many moms are against the flu shot ? I haven't got it and my son hasn't either and I'm really not planning to. But so far an infant died already here in California because of the flu. So I'm scared

baby girls changes so far😍😍
I heard on here that when you're so far along you get a shot in your butt? Or something like that?

Our list of names so far...but we can't agree on a single one!! We find out the gender in two weeks so at least that will eliminate one column!
@love it will all be worth it in the end!!! Every time is see them on the ultrasound I forget about all the pain, shots, tears, knots ... and everything! It will start going faster soon... the first few weeks went by realllllly sloooooow for me ❤️
