I had my first booze craving last night. A show I was watching they were drinking wine and I was salivating. I haven't had a drop of alcohol since before starting IVF. So not since May.
That's amazing! I'm forcing my husband to join me in sobriety 😂
It's okay to have a half to one full glass weekly if you're comfortable with it but right now, I don't know I could stop at just a half glass with all this crap
I am not comfortable with booze or caffeine during this pregnancy (personal preference). But we do have a bottle of champagne H bought for me to enjoy when these kiddos come.

I'm waiting for H to finish pooping so we can finally watch the new episode of This is Us. He's taking forever. I can tell he's just playing games on his phone in there.
FFTC: I watched half of the episode this morning before I felt bad about how I was tv cheating on him.
Early fffc. I don't feel bad that Jo has a tablet. It started off for her and I to share and has slowly become hers. This way she stays off my phone, can't destroy my laptop, and I have the passcode to let her on.

Almost got run over by some dumb twat muffin not paying attention as I was leaving clinicals. Then she looked startled that I was standing so close to her car. Wtf is wrong with people?!

I've been thinking a lot about this and H and I have had a lot of conversations about it. We decided everything in moderation. I've seen the benefits of ipads for young ones learning colors, shapes and letters before the age of 2 which is pretty incredible. On the other hand it's so important developmentally to play in the dirt and develop fine motor skills. All of this technology is so new that we don't have long studies of research telling us what is best - this is the guinea pig generation.

Sugarless Hard Peppermint Gum is my 100% nausea remedy tygandre . I know that's not unusual but just wanted to share. Something about chomping on the piece of gum and the initial juice just calms it down.
I'll give it a shot. Regular peppermint isn't doing it, but I haven't tried the hard stuff, and I do enjoy that usually.
The past few nights after about four hours of sleep I just wake with no explanation and no more sleep to be had. This better be some randomness and not a pregnancy symptom because I can not go five and half months without sleep before the kid even gets here.
On the positive side I'm pretty sure I felt the kiddo move for the first time while staring at the ceiling. Could have just been sleep deprivation but there were some definite little pops.
Last pregnancy, I slept like a rock. This time around, and basically ever since DS was born, I am lucky if I get a few hours in a row uninterrupted. An hour feels like a long sleep right now, usually.
Yes we did, I hope April 17 gets busier soon. I've been playing on the pregnancy board just to keep myself active.
It's still pretty early IMO to do a weekly HDBD. But I agree we're slow. I think a lot of it is just # of people, maybe? I don't know how else we can encourage the activity to pick up but there likely won't be many more intros, if any.
I'm too lazy for an intro. I'll just torture you all with how much pregnancy and I don't get along in dribs and drabs on various threads.
Yes! Like, how does this happen? Is it because we have so many twin moms that the universe evened out that less women could get pregnant this month?
Hahaha possibly. We have like 32 babies but only 20 moms.
That really is a lot of babies versus mums. I almost wish my super nausea was to blame on a second one in there, but alas, it's just a troublesome child so far!
Speaking of troublesome child, I finally had an actual pregnancy craving combo that worked to quell the nausea for a couple hours. Wait for it...
Although still, just in case you didn't get the message...
HORK.
After three days of absolutely nothing sounding remotely appealing, I unfortunately had to try it. Gonna have to talk to OB about that, buuuuut not holding my breath on it going anywhere, since I'm sure I haven't lost enough weight yet for them to be concerned. It's not HG! It's just severe NVP! \o/
I was totally tempted to buy the dealcholized wine at the grocery store last week but I don't know if I'm that desperate yet. I did have a tiny sip of wine at my cousin's wedding though.

My stepmother is super sweet and is really thinking of me when she does this, but it drives me batty. When I'm pregnant, she always makes sure when she's hosting an event that she has sparkling grape juice- JUST FOR THANKFULSNAIL BECAUSE SHE CAN'T DRINK WINE- and I just.... really don't want it. If I can't have real wine or beer, I'm happier with water or Diet Coke. DNW the empty calories of sparkling grape juice with no buzz.
I feel bad for being annoyed by it, but you'd think she would've gotten the picture by now...
All of work knows what happened. It makes it harder to be there.. I went in today and only managed 3.5 hours before I couldn't take it anymore. I'm just glad my boss is being understanding about it
I really want chocolate. I think I might make chocolate chip pancakes for lunch. Lol.
Excellent choice.
Thank you all for being so sympathetic. I know it could be worse - I've not been hospitalised and I manage to keep it just shy of getting bad enough to need to go there for it. But it still sucks and you guys make me feel a bit better when you make me smile.
Speaking of booze though, I had like three half-drinks at maybe two weeks in, so I'm a bit twitchy over that still and will be till A/S about it, probably.

It's a long story but I didn't find out that I was pregnant with DD until I was 10 weeks along. I wasn't just having a few drinks here and there, I also got smashed at my friend's wedding when I was about 8 weeks. DD is fine.
I wouldn't recommend anyone do what I did, but I hear a lot of people who found out late that they were pregnant, had alcohol, and had no issues. I know it's scary, though. I'm sure it'll all be fine.

What's odd about it is, my period was over a month late at that point. I'd tested, tested, tested till about two weeks before, figured my period had just disappeared again courtesy of still breastfeeding DS, and then the week after I get back from the trip with the drinking, funky stomach turned into baby stomach. I thought for sure it was fine, and it was only my second time drinking since DS was born. Go figure on the timing, right?

All the feels for you. I have found that I function better in the face of grief if people ignore it unless I am actively acknowledging it myself and try to err on the side of caution with others along the same lines.
I was just lamenting how bad I am at keeping water bottles clean and handy (more the handy than the clean) and a package arrived from my insurance including a fancy, free aluminium water bottle. Winnnn.
Also a free copy of What To Expect When You're Expecting. Probably something I should have thought about last time around, rather than just researching EVERYTHING on multiple websites and forums everytime I had questions.

I'm not sure how true this is, but I've also read that the "baby" isn't getting much, if anything, from you yet at that point. I drank a bit during my TWW and quite a bit (wine pairing dinner, oops) during my TWW with my son. Try not to beat yourself up. (Though I totally understand your concern.)
