Thanks girls just want to clear up though, I dont have PND but Chemical Depression... i'm actually supposed to be taking anti's all the time and probably for the rest of my life.

Butterfly Princess Hello!!!!

Hollye, how are ya goin??

Taegan, woohoo for swimming lessons, sorry no one spoke to you though... that sucks

Gotta go make breakky now

[princesswalkee]

ok just a quick question is it normal to already be feeling food cravings and have a sick feelig to foods i have previously eaten

[Early Kids]

how far along are you? You can experience morning sickness and food cravings anywhere from 6weeks.... each pregnancy is different! You should make yourself a ticker Lilypie : Free Baby stuff or Home - Bump and Beyond and bellybelly do ones too

[princesswalkee]

i think im between 5 and 6 but could be more and i dont want to make one till i know

[~clover~]

My ms started around 5 - 6 weeks.
Food cravings were a bit further along, but foor aversions, same time as ms.
With my girls the smells & foods I couldn't stand were
Smoke/ashtray
Bread
Tap water
Toilet cleaner (probably more coz I spent so much time with my head down there smelling it!)
Lasange (I normally LOVE it)
Coke (serious heart burn from it with DD1)

[loulabelle]

Skye, lol, a few drinks! I think you deserve them!

Taegan, I can't wait to take Sam to swimming lessons.It must have been so cute to watch.And to back you up, Oliver seemed lovely when we met yesterday, he was fantastic with all the babies.He made Sam smile a few times.

On the topic of m/c and cravings, I never got m/s but my cravings started pretty much instantly.I would drink 2 liters of Apple Juice a day!

[loulabelle]

Oh and on the smells that turned me off...I have a weird one! I couldn't eat of glass plates! I swear I could smell them!yep, I am weird.

[Alyssas_Mum]

Laurab- that is weird.. glasss plates??? lol

My m/s started at 6 weeks, thankfully i only had nausea and i didnt actually throw up but sometimes i swear i would have felt better if i did.
As for food aversions- mine was cream or anything creamy and i still cant go near it, although sour cream is ok. I also couldnt stand sweets and i craved savoury stuff, especially sausage rolls and meat pies, i dont think i have ever eaten so many... lol.
Now im good though, i dont really have any cravings as such but i do get really really thirsty (luckily for DP i havent started munching on ice chips again. lol) i just drink heaps, i crave water and refreshing drinks like cold juice and i swear i couldnt drink them outa the bottle thats how thirsty i am..... doc says it's also a sign of low iron, which i have.

[~clover~]

I absolutely LOVED slushy drinks. I used to have a red one from the same place every time I had enough money while pg with DD1. After a couple of weeks they laughed & said 'the babies gonna come out hypo!'
Oh well. Maybe thats what did it....It was worth it!
With DS I craved Macca's cheese burgers. I normally have a big mac or chicken burger or something, but for about 3 months I'd pull in every time I was in town just for a cheese burger.
Wasn't as keen on KFC as I normally am, but I ate it occasionally.
It took me about 4 years to eat lasange again after DD1.

Laura - Glass plates! & I thought my water one was wierd! I used to avoid having a shower for as long as possible. I was really sick though. I had hyperemesis gravidarum. Sever ms. I was put in hospital a few times on a drip.
It was only with the girls. I had just every day ms with DS.

[Early Kids]

Morning girls

My m/s started at 6 weeks, thankfully i only had nausea and i didnt actually throw up but sometimes i swear i would have felt better if i did.

I wish I could have just had the nausea... vomiting was bad, very very bad. My teeth felt like chalk, my throat was raw and started to bring up a small amount of blood. I thought the same that if i vomited with the nausea i'd feel better... so wrong!

Laura - ROFL... glass plates!

I worked in a bakery until 16 weeks (I couldn't work any more due to a major bleed) and I could not stand the smell of the yeast proving. YUCK
Water would make me vomit, so I drank lots and lots of red cordial and then one day it made me vomit... lol.

Whats everyone's plans for today?
I'm having a day at home.... DP has gone out to ride his motorbike.

[loulabelle]

I just staying home too.DS is still got a cough from when he was sick last week and DH is at work.These people from Peninsular health just called me and told me they are coming over at 11am(for the PND)not sure what they want to do?? commit me?? they only gave me an hours notice.I think they just want to check up because of moving to a new area etc.
I'll fill you in when I know!

[loulabelle]

Gross! I think that yeast smell would have made me throw up too!

[Early Kids]

Laura, good luck darl If I can't get into the dr this week (which I probably wont) then i have an appointment with the CHN anyway... so i'm hoping to be able to have a chat to a social worker or something.

[Daydream Believer]

I went shopping to get SIL some jewelery to says thanks for being my support person, a gold ring with a ruby in it. Then I went to MILs and had lunch there, then I came home & wa going to go to SILs but they were out so I went for a walk & I just got home and am about to crash on the couch.

Hope everone's having a good day

[loulabelle]

Sally, I'm glad to hear you are going to speak to her about how you're feeling.In case you didn't know,you can get rebates on psychologist appointments if you get a referral through your doctor.I end up paying under $20 for mine.

All was OK today.They have organised for me to go in for an appointment tomorrow just to work out what's going on with my medication(it's not really working and giving bad side effect)Hopefully something can be done.

[mum2maddieand1]
