Morning Sickness Rating (1--nothing to 5--can't move away from the toilet): 1, I didn't get M/S until around 7w with DD, though I started feeling nauseous around 6w with my last loss... so I hope it doesn't just keep getting earlier and earlier.

Symptoms: Fatigue, peeing lots. Twingy boobs. Minor cramping/stretching.

What are you doing to keep healthy: Until my m/s hits, I'm trying to cook with as much variety and balance as possible. And, I'm sticking to my fitness routine until I cannot drag myself to the gym, and then I'll hopefully pick it back up again in 2nd tri.

GTKY -- What musical instruments do you play, or wish you played: I grew up playing the piano, but haven't touched it in... umm... jeez, 18 years?

I think it counts.

I should also add: joint pain. Anyone else having achy hips, knees, etc? I feel like a geriatric today

Morning sickness will be the death of me. We ended up having to tell my husbands ex step mom last night because she made enchiladas and I couldn't eat anything other than corn. She thought i thought the enchiladas were disgusting and it hurt her feelings and she was trying to find something else for me. I was like no really I'm okay. She probably would have made a whole buffet for me if we didn't spill about the pregnancy. Now my husband is on the way to the store for saltines and sprite.

Oh no ... Poor woman, both of you. Are you having it all day or is it something brought on mostly by smell?

It's all day but it definitely gets worse with certain smells. Eggs and chicken have me in the bathroom. Meats makes it worse. Looks like I'm going to be a vegetarian for a while lol

[dazdareis]

onyx , I couldn't imagine no meat. The only aversion I've had is Franks red hot sauce (not a big loss in tgis house). Did the saltines & soda help?

He just got back. So we will see.

[blanche]

I've only been getting it if I haven't eaten in a while. I packed a couple things of ritz crackers in my bag today... we'll see what happens. I'm actually surprised I'm still able to enjoy my morning coffee...

[blanche]

Double post, sorry!

Weeks: 4w0d today based on ovulation date

Fruit Size (for most of us we are either a poppy seed, sesame seed, or peppercorn): poppy seed

Morning Sickness Rating (1--nothing to 5--can't move away from the toilet): 1

Symptoms: mild cramping (that has be constantly running to the bathroom to see if there's anything red accompanying it), some lightheadedness, a bit tired, very sore boobs

What are you doing to keep healthy: well I just found out this morning so I guess I'm doing what I've been doing: eating well and trying to get some type of exercise at least 3 times a week, even if it's just walking. Oh, I have to pick up some prenatal vitamins after work.

GTKY -- What musical instruments do you play, or wish you played: Well, I was on drumline in HS (where I met my husband), so I played the bass drum and then in college I played the cymbals. I wish I played the drum set, piano, and bass guitar. I have a decent voice, too.

Symptoms: Super sore boobs and a little tired.

What are you doing to keep healthy: I haven't changed much. Trying to exercise regularly but it's been so cold here and I hate the gym so I could definitely improve on that. And I've been trying to up my water intake by keeping a water bottle with me at all times.

GTKY -- What musical instruments do you play, or wish you played: I play piano technically but I can't remember the last time I actually played. I always thought it would be cool to play a string instrument but I never followed through.
