hey why so quiet??

**babydream** · 10-09-2012, 12:24 PM

Hello girls! How´s everybody doing? I will have my follow up US this thursday so I´m very exited about that, I am hating prenatal vitamins, I´m about to quit and just take folic acid and dha because I really really hate them!! And has anybody else had problems with constipation? grrrr Hope everyone is doing well!!

**Ksears** · 10-09-2012, 12:37 PM

I was wondering the same thing.....everyone must be busy! Anyway, yes, when I take zofran, I have issues with constipation. Never had it before...but it is awful. So now I must choose which way I want to be misearble? Nauseated, or constipated?! LOL. Anyway, hope you are doing well other than your prenatal problems.

so funny b/c i was going to question where everyone was as well. I hate taking the vitamins and i have to admit i stopped a week ago...I woke up really nauseous one day and i freaked out! so i am making sure to eat veggies and fruits everyday to hopefully make up the difference...but i am planning to start them again soon bc i know how extremely important they are! i feel horrible not taking them bc of a phobia i have of being nauseous.

Good luck with the US!

Nothing too exciting going on here--just nauseous and tired. I have my first appointment tomorrow, but I don't think they'll do an ultrasound or anything fun.

**Babidol** · 10-09-2012, 02:49 PM

If you're not taking your vitamins at least take a folic acid. That's the one our babies need for proper spine nd brain development! Also, try flinstones, perfectly acceptable.

**Minismommy** · 10-09-2012, 05:46 PM

Welcome back! I am dealing with moodiness! Ugh! Feel like a total spoilsport today!

**Brandles** · 10-09-2012, 05:50 PM

I noticed how quite the room was too. Missed you ladies!!! I can't stand taking my prenatal vitamins... They make me 10x more nauseous than I already am... I'm still taking them, but just trying to figure out if there is a time of day that makes me less nauseous. Today I took them in the morning and it hasn't been too bad.

Next Tuesday is my follow up ultrasound & I CAN'T WAIT any longer. It feels like being pregnant is one huge waiting game. One that I'm glad to be playing!!!

Just wish the 1st trimester would fly by!

Laura: Good luck tomorrow!

for an ultrasound!!!

**NHKate** · 10-09-2012, 10:47 PM

I haven't had much to report lately, just more of the same stuff. The pre-natal vitamin doesn't seem to bother me, fortunately. Good luck at your ultrasound tomorrow!

I have my follow-up u/s next Wednesday.

I can't take the prenatal vitamins either during a pg. They just make me feel to sick to my tummy. My doc told me to try Flintstones kids vitamin and take 2 daily. I can tolerate those fairly well. Sorry about the constipation.

**Minismommy** · 10-10-2012, 06:08 AM

Just want this heaviness to be over fast! But I am feeling better in the last two days!

let's say 20 percent better.

**christianaaa** · 10-10-2012, 09:00 AM

My doctor gave me a sample of a prenatal ... Vital-one? Something like that, it's a small blue vitamin but it doesn't make me nauseous and it's a small cap so it doesn't have a nasty powdery aftertaste. I keep forgetting to ask for an RX but conveniently my mom works for an OB so she can get me samples.

other than that, nothing to report. I'm 10 weeks today! yay.

hahah! It seems like it's going so quick! I'll be 12 weeks in TWO WEEKS and then I can finally make it "Facebook official". Plus I will be telling the rest of my family VERY soon. Except my grandmother, she is in hawaii for a few weeks (uhhh jealous)... so once she gets home I will be telling her, if my uncle doesn't (he lives in hawaii and may spill the beans).

Right now what i bought is the prenatal vitamins put out by Similac so i am assuming one is Folic Acid and you are totally right! this make you feel sick?

**Minismommy** · 10-11-2012, 08:49 AM

Similac prenatal are not that bad, I thought at least! Less constipation and nausea!

This is what i am afraid of i was taking them perfectly fine for weeks and then one morning i woke feeling sick and i Panicked myself worse than it probably should be and i get up so early in the am (5am) to get up get ready and out the door at 6am and take my son with me to wherever he has to go and then i drive to work 1hr and 15mins away...when i feel slightly sick i make WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy worse! so i assumed it was the pills and havent tried them since which was about 1wk and half ago! i have a huge phobia of it and it over comes me completely - sick but very true! and its sad - i waited tos ee if i got sick the next few mornings thinking it was baby related and i never did so thats what is discouraging me! i feel like such an A-hole for not tkaing them bc of my own selfish issues....i am trying to overcome it and if my husband knew he would flip!

**MaMa2boys** · 10-11-2012, 04:02 PM

Zolfran makes me soooooooooooo constipated! My dr told me if I take one just take a stool softener with it.. I take Corectol for women, it's REALLY mild and doesn't make you go it just makes it easier to go lol I think that's the commercial and it really is true.

**babydream** · 10-12-2012, 12:37 PM

Thanks for all the advice on prenatals!! I had my follow up US yesterday and happy to report that baby is growing nice, I´m deninitely 5 days less than my calculated due date based on LMP, heatbeat at 176/min!! New due date is may 20th, I found out about this pregnancy so early that it seems that I´m pregnant for a while now, but I´m really not, I can´t believe is a long way to go yet, does anybody feel the same way??

If my first guess was right on my dd I'd be starting my second trimester on Sunday.... So I was way off ! Lol by at least a week and a half. I must have found out at barely 4 weeks so it seems like things are dragging for me.
